I went there to celebrate a special day for my spouse. Service was indeed good. For vegetariens, we did not have many options to choose from,but still was satisfied from the things we ordered. Quality and taste was good.

Absolutely phenomenal experience!
From start to finish, this Indian restaurant exceeded all expectations. We started with the most delicious appetizers — the paneer and the salmon wrapped in banana leaf were bursting with fresh flavor. For our mains, both the lobster and chicken dishes were perfectly seasoned and beautifully presented. Every bite was layered with incredible spices and depth — truly gourmet Indian cuisine at its finest. The wine pairings were spot on, and we ended the evening with a blueberry dessert that was out of this world. Even our teen daughter, who can be a tough critic, absolutely loved everything. We’ll definitely be back soon! Thanks to our amazing server who made it even better

Every fish we ordered was both delicious and beautifully presented. The staff was knowledgeable and attentive and spent time sharing detail with us about their in-house spice mixtures. Our waiter Sagar was wonderful, we’re excited to revisit.

So so so good! Everyone who took care of us including Sagar was so helpful. All their recommendations were out of this world. Top notch experience. Will be back!
We absolutely love Barsa! My fiancé and I got to cater from Barsa recently for our housewarming party after visiting their restaurant several times and had a fantastic experience. Sunny and his team were very courteous, organized, and friendly to work with. The food was fantastic, as usual. We catered our favorite dishes - the Kozhi Chettinad and Saag Paneer, a few appetizers and best of all - the Burnt Butter Pannacotta for desert! We didn’t take any pictures since the food was gone before we knew it!! Our guests were raving about it for days. We got to dine in the restaurant with a few friends the week after the party and the food keeps getting better! Highly recommend Barsa (and their catering), it truly is our favorite Indian restaurant by far in the triangle!

I made a reservation through OpenTable for my birthday celebration. Even though we arrived 30 minutes late, our table was still held for us, which was a pleasant surprise. The service was quick and attentive, and they even customized the food to suit our preference for a little extra spice. I’d rate the taste and presentation of the dishes a full 4.5/5 stars. However, I’d give 4 stars overall because the menu had limited vegetarian option variety.
At the end of our dinner, they surprised me with a beautifully presented Gulab Jamun cheesecake, which made the celebration feel extra special and allowed me to truly enjoy my birthday night.

The hype is real! We had dinner at Barsa on 10/18 before a show at DPAC. Every single element of the experience -- from the greeting to the service to the food to the atmosphere -- was spot on. Honestly, one of the better dining experiences we have ever had. Kudos, Barsa!

One of the best meals ever! Jevian was our server and what an amazing person! The food, the service, just everything was top notch. They actually grind their spices and prepare the dishes accordingly. And you can definitely taste the difference. So glad to have them in Durham. Thank you. I will definitely be back.

We had an incredible dining experience at Barsa New Indian Restaurant! Our server, Jevian, was outstanding—every recommendation he made was spot on. We started with the fried fish in banana leaf and the beet salad, both bursting with flavor and beautifully presented.
For the main course, we tried the chef’s special and the lobster Moilee—both were fantastic! The lobster was cooked perfectly—tender and flavorful, not rubbery at all. To finish, we had the halwa, and honestly, it was the best I’ve ever had.
There were so many other creative and elegant dishes we noticed on nearby tables—we can’t wait to come back and try more! Highly recommend this place for anyone who loves vibrant, modern Indian cuisine with authentic taste and wonderful service.
We had a tasty lunch of paneer and mutual chicken. Sagar was our server and he was super nice. You can tell they use good quality ingredients!
