By far the best place I've ever been for shared dishes! All the plates have 4 to 5 Dim sum, which really helped to share with other people like we did during our visit. Would highly recommend the chicken bao as it was by far the best thing we had that night! Service was quick and prompt and a reservation is definitely recommended!

I'm always impressed with the service and quality at Brewery Bhavana. I brought some friends and we tried lots of the small plates. Pros - bao buns were like clouds, drinks were well made, scallion pancake with oxtail jam is unreal. Cons - the portions are pretty small for the price, the xiao long bao (soup dumplings) had barely any soup in them. All in all, this is still a nice place to take people who are visiting Raleigh.

Visitors Raleigh just for the night and this restaurant was highly recommended! & it did not disappoint! We started off grabbing one of their beers at the bar and they were SO good! Then we sat down for dinner and wow everything we ordered was absolutely amazing. I was also there with a friend who has a shellfish allergy and the menu was so clearly marked on what we could & could not order which was very helpful. We ended up getting the edamame ginger dumpling, char sui bao, sichuan cucumber salad, & the scallion pancakes. Would absolutely recommend everything we ordered but I'm also anything on that menu is amazing.

Had a party of 8. Overall a good experience. Food was very good, drinks too. Service was just a bit less than expected and fairly slow. Will go back and try again.

This place blew me away. My group got the pancakes with bone marrow, char siu bao, crab rangoon, (shrimp) pork and chive shu mai, and the Peking duck all to share and it was the most incredible dinner ever. I think the three of us only ended up eating half of the duck and took the rest home because we were so full. They even gave us three cupcakes to go since we couldn't get dessert! The ambiance was amazing and the service was great. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Raleigh.

This was our first time going. It was my wife’s birthday, and we wanted something new and more elevated to do, but we also love breweries.1. Right from the jump the place was on point. Friendly; but in just the right amount and manner2. The beer was actually amazing. They literally don’t miss. Every offering was done very well and all nicely refined3. Mixed drinks also quite nice. Very tasteful and delicious4. Food was simple and amazing. My wife who normally never does pork even loved the Bao buns.5. Staff was great. Very personable. The bartender was engaging and friendly at just the right level. And the bar back was such a good dude we ended up exchanging contact information. ?I was honestly so impressed. My wife and I have such a tough time finding things we like in the area, we usually just fly to NY or Boston every few months for fun and dates. Finally found a place that we really love!
Service was great. The beer and food are very good. My kids love this place. Ambience is awesome

Ok, this place is ADORABLE and I wish I'd taken more photos. Great spot for a date night! We tried some stuff we don't normally eat. We were NOT fan of the scallion pancakes because we all realized we just don't like bone marrow. Haha. But everyone around us seemed to love it. Highly recommend for something different than the norm.

Reservations are highly recommended for this place, and for good reason. We were seated promptly and were greeted by our server, his name escapes me but he was great! This place was bustling but the noise was great for the setting. You didn't have to yell to be heard and could still hold a conversation without being disturbed or disturbing anyone else. We ordered our drinks, and hands down, this was the best espresso martini I've ever had! As a table, we ordered the Peking Duck, Seafood Dumplings, Char Siu Bao, Scallion Pancakes, Pork & Chive Sumai and split everything, which worked out perfectly because the Dim Sum came in fours and there were four of us dining. We ended up with left over scallion pancakes and Peking duck but what an experience. The broth that accompanied the seafood dumplings was perfect paired with the donuts served with it. The Char Siu Bao was great, great barbecue flavor with the perfect amount of meat to bread ratio. The scallion pancakes were a little tougher than I expected but acted as an almost cracker bone marrow it was served with. We were so glad they still had Peking duck, it was so juicy and tender and paired perfectly with the bao buns, scallion and hoisin sauce. I will be looking to make my way back to this restaurant on my next stop in Raleigh and you should too!

Brewery Bhavana was fantastic! The food was creative, authentic and delicious. Our server was the best we've had in the area in years. He actually knew about the flavors and food. Highly recommend! Great for a date night, friends or even a family outing with older kids who appreciate good food.

Loved the ambiance and the decor! Lots of beers to choose from and interesting food to share. We liked some dishes better than others. Overall a cool place for a date night or a get together with friends.
