Awesome food! Ambience is also very good. We tried thali and it was good and even their lamb curry was very good and meat was very soft. There mocktails are also very good.

If you want to try authentic indian biriyani, don’t order it here!

This is by far our favorite Indian restaurant in the triangle area. Great vegetarian menu. Prices are in line with the food and service quality. Highly recommended.
Note: Parking can be a challenge here, but that's not the restaurant's fault.

Best Indian food I have ever had! No other restaurant compares. The service is exceptional as well. I wish I lived closer so I could come more often.

Went to Nazara yesterday for dinner, horrible experience! This is the Only restaurant, which doesn’t show rates for the drinks and then they charge exorbitant money in the bill. Our bill for 3 drinks was $120 and 2 bourbon was $70. So almost $40 per peg of Indian whisky, it’s a loot! Looks like, management doesn’t realize that there are so many better indian restaurants in the area. Though food, ambience is ok, I will never recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Last night we dined at Nazara for a Mother's Day/early birthday dinner. The hostess was extremely friendly and quickly led us to a table. We ordered a mocktail (I believe it was the lychee ginger) and an old fashioned. I originally ordered a different mocktail but the server thankfully warned me it wasn't sweet and helped me pick a different one. It was delicious!
For food we got the samosas, naan, chicken tikka marsala, and my husband picked a dish with goat. Everything was absolutely delicious but we filled up quickly. Thankfully that just meant we had plenty of leftovers!
On our way out, we were gifted a choice of multiple spices. We picked a jar of garam masala and are very excited to try cooking with it.
It is very obvious the people here are excited for you to dine with them and to experience their wonderful food. We will absolutely be back!

The food was pretty good overall but they were skimpy on the proteins. My main complaint is the bourbon flight. On their menu, they have an option to build your own flight of 3, 1oz pours. I chose Weller cypb, baker 13, pappy 12. The staff was nice but didn’t know prices and they are not listed. I proceeded to purchase anyway. The cost of the flight was 145. When I asked, they initially said 1.5 oz pour for pappy was 95 making it 63 for 1oz. Then they claimed 1oz was 95. It’s certainly my fault for not checking prior to ordering, but they way overcharged for their pappy and shady on their price change. 1.5 oz of pappy 12 for 142.5 is ridiculous.

My husband and I came here just so I could taste the mocktails by Curious Elixirs. The mocktails were great but so was the food and service. I love paneer and the grilled pineapple paneer appetizer was AMAZING! The sauce over it as to die for. I love paneer and had more of that for my main and my husband had the Lamb “Josh Rogan”. lol! Heat level was perfect and both dishes were plentiful and seasoned expertly. We're visiting again for sure. (Great and reasonable wine selection as well as cocktails.)

Arrived for our reservation about 15 minutes early. We were seated on time for our reservation, but then we sat at the table for 25 minutes without being spoken to by anyone on staff. A busboy brought us a couple of glasses of water after 15 minutes, but he didn't speak to us, just dropped the water off and left. No server spoke to us, not even to tell us they would be right with us - not a word. We got up to leave after waiting 25 minutes at the table, and not a single person acknowledged our leaving. They were busy, but 25 minutes without any word from the restaurant is unacceptable.

Our absolute favorite Indian restaurant! We go often and highly recommend it. They always treat us like royalty and the food is incredible!
We came to the restaurant around 2 PM and ordered the weekly special. The Bindi was terrible. It seemed as though they got the largest and oldest Bindi and overcooked them, making them almost unchewable . I could only chew about half of them before I had to put them out. The waitress was very accommodating and went to get me another bowl, but it was very similar to the first.

Had lunch after the NC Museum of Art. Great beer selection and appetizers. Not too hot on the spices (we don't like the hotness to take away from the overall flavor). Shrimp with the Korma sauce was excellent and the Naan was just slightly crispy. All in all, an excellent meal.

The ambiance was great - excellent design inside, great looking bar, very clean. Very hot tempwise, and when asked about the temp the answer was “we don't have the key and there's no manager here.” The food - was alright, many choices both veg and non veg. Samosa was good, very crispy and flavorful. The cucumber salad was alright but has a ton of cilantro in it, which was a problem later. We had the chicken tikka masala medium and the paneer tikka masala medium hot. The chicken was ok, what I would call standard, not exceptional. The paneer gravy was better and maybe a hair spicier than the chicken, but neither were spicy. Also standard. The regular naan was good. The service - the big problem here. We scoped the menu to see what had cilantro listed on them, and only 3 dishes called it out specifically. After 10 minutes of watching the staff attend other tables, I flagged someone down to give our order to. While ordering we checked whether the samosa, the masalas, and the naan had cilantro on it, and were told they did not. We did not check about the salad, but after it didn't say anything about it on the menu we figured it would be ok. Unfortunately, it came with cilantro. The next time we saw a waiter was when they were delivering the food. We were asked about the salad and mentioned that it came with cilantro, no big deal, miscommunication. The rest of the meal went fine until the end. All quotes are paraphrased: The waiter came to clear the table and then suggested “if you had told us beforehand we would have taken the cilantro off”. We mentioned we tried on the others and just forgot, not a big deal though. He cleared a few plates and left. Then he came back again with the check and said “you know at Indian and Mexican restaurants they use a lot of cilantro, if you'd said.” we had to cut him off, mentioned again that we tried and it was a mistake, can you please run the check. After the third time he came over, we paid and bailed. Won't be back.

Food was Awesome as always. Staff very attentive. We didn't have to ask for anything. Their timing was perfect.

Ordered roti and was hoping to get phrata but got a piece of naan instead.
Goat briyani has a good spice level.
Masala chai has more milk than it should.
Also ordered a mango lassi but we did not receive it. We forgotten about it and have paid for it too. Only remembered the missing order upon reaching home and checking the receipt.
Good atmosphere and server was helpful to explain on using the yogurt served to reduce the spice level.
