I loved Cilantro its an awesome place with incredible authentic Indian fare. Yesterday was my first visit with my brother I had the Lamb Briyani and he had the Samosa Chat along with mango lassis. The food was so good, lamb was very tender and tasty with the rice and mint yogurt raita. The cilantro chutney was so fresh. Mango lassis sweet and refreshing. The service was top notch with the staff super friendly and accommodating. They also have extremely beautiful and tasty desserts with some slices of cheesecake and mostly these boxed cakes in their own plastic container about 6×6 in. They're visually stunning and taste even better I absolutely cannot reccommend this place enough I will be coming back soon. 10/10. Let me also comment on the comfortable atmosphere being contemporary in decor but also very cozy. Oh, and the prices are very affordable for the quality.

The food was very flavorful but the naan wasn’t fresh/homemade. But it was definitely a vibe inside

We are from an hour away and infrequently in Raleigh, but make it a point to enjoy Cilantro. Always greeted with a smile and given great guidance about the various dishes. Food never disappoints. I order something different every time because the menu is so tempting.

The decor inside was beautiful, I loved all the quotes on the walls. Amazing food! We had the eggs, vegetable samosas, butter salmon and butter chicken. Everything was delightful, especially the sauces! We took home some tiramisu cakes to try later and they were also tasty, made with chai tea instead of coffee, a unique twist. It’s family owned, one son was at the counter taking orders, and I assume it was his father walking around, chatting with customers and checking on how everything was tasting and if anything was needed. Amazing experience, will certainly come back for more.

This place is our go-to for Indian food! We've been here a number of times, and we've never had a bad meal. In fact, we've never had a meal that was less than excellent. The food, atmosphere and service are always outstanding. If you haven't been here, you are missing out!

One of my favorite restaurants! Every meal is delicious and is always consistent, each dish tastes exactly like it did the first time I tried it, whether it’s dine in or take out. Not too many restaurants that I know of can do the same. The only “complaint” I have is that I wished they were open for more hours so I could dine there more often but that’s just me being greedy.
