Passage To India Indian Cuisine

Passage To India is the University City Boulevard restaurant near UNC Charlotte, with nearly 3,000 public reviews behind it. The kitchen is halal, and the vegan and vegetarian options run deep. It is a hole in the wall that puts all its effort into the food instead of the decor, and the prices are among the lowest for Indian food anywhere in the city. The room puts no effort into decor and all of it into the kitchen, which is exactly the point. Food arrives hot and fresh, and the portions are generous for what you pay.
