Manchow soup

Hot, spicy and packed with garlicky flavor, Manchow Soup is one of the most popular soups in Indo-Chinese cuisine, and a bold, warming starter at Curry Gate. Topped with a crunchy pile of crispy fried noodles, it's as fun to eat as it is flavorful.

Manchow Soup comes from Indo-Chinese cooking, the fusion of Chinese cooking styles and Indian flavors that grew up in India's Chinese communities. It became a restaurant favorite across India and Nepal, known for its spicy, savory broth, hearty vegetables and signature crispy noodle topping. Today it's one of the most-ordered soups on Indian restaurant menus.

Choose your soup:

Veggie Manchow Soup: loaded with mixed vegetables, a flavorful vegetarian option. Chicken Manchow Soup: mixed vegetables with tender pieces of chicken for a heartier bowl.

Our Manchow Soup starts with a savory broth built on plenty of garlic, fresh ginger and green chillies. It's cooked with a medley of finely chopped mixed vegetables and seasoned with soy sauce and a touch of vinegar for a tangy, savory depth. The soup is thickened into a rich, slightly silky texture and finished with fresh spring onions and cilantro. Just before serving, it's topped with golden, crispy fried noodles that add a satisfying crunch to every spoonful.

The result is a soup that is spicy, garlicky, tangy and deeply warming, with tender vegetables and crunchy noodles in every bite. It's bold and full-flavored, a good contrast to our mild, creamy Sweet Corn Soup, and a great pick on a cool Charlotte evening.

You control the heat. Choose your spice level from 1 to 10 when you order. Keep it mild at 1–3 for all the garlicky flavor with gentle warmth, go medium at 4–6 for classic Manchow heat, or turn it up to 7–10 if you love real fire.

Manchow Soup is a great starter before curries, biryani or momo. For a full Indo-Chinese meal, pair it with Gobi Manchurian, Chilli Paneer, Chilli Chicken or Chilli Momo.

Whether you're warming up at lunch in Uptown, starting dinner in South End, or picking up a spicy soup near NoDa, Curry Gate brings authentic Indian and Nepali flavors to Charlotte, NC. Order Manchow Soup for dine-in, pickup or delivery.
