Extra Rice

Great curry deserves plenty of rice. Our extra rice is a side of fluffy, fragrant steamed basmati, the long-grain rice that's a staple of Indian and Nepali meals. At Curry Gate, it's the simple way to make sure every last spoonful of sauce gets enjoyed.

Basmati is prized for its long, slender grains, light texture and naturally nutty aroma. When steamed, the grains cook up separate and fluffy, not sticky, so they soak up rich gravies without turning heavy. Its mild, delicate flavor makes it a good base for bold spices, letting the character of each dish shine through.

Extra rice is a must when you order rich, saucy dishes like Butter Chicken, Chicken Tikka Masala, Lamb Curry or Nepali-style chicken curry. It's also a comforting match for dal and vegetable curries like Chana Masala, Palak Paneer or Aloo Gobi. Sharing a few curries with family or friends? An extra order of rice makes sure there's enough to go around. Many guests like to order rice and naan together, using the rice to soak up the sauce and the naan to scoop it.

Steamed rice is naturally vegan and gluten-free, so it's an easy addition for almost any diet.

Whether you're feeding the office in Uptown, hosting dinner in South End, or picking up takeout near NoDa, Curry Gate brings authentic Indian and Nepali flavors to Charlotte, NC. Add extra rice to your next pickup or delivery order.
