20 Best Indian Restaurants in Raleigh

“Awesome!“

“Food is outstanding! Service is wonderful. The owner was very friendly. Beautiful decor & great atmosphere. Will definitely be returning here.“

“Tamasha is nothing short of incredible. A beautifully appointed restaurant that provides first class service and amazing food. This is truly one of Raleigh's finest.“

“Moti and Rupak (sp?) were both helpful and cordial during a stressful situation where their power went out during dinner rush. Not only were they communicative with me while I was trying to pick up an online order, I witnessed how gracefully they managed the rest of the dining room with absolutely no power. They have customers for life with me and my family.“

“My favorite Indian spot in Raleigh! They offer mild to spicy levels on their curries, and have a huge selection. The staff are super friendly and attentive. Best lasooni gobi I’ve had here!“

“This restaurant is truly exceptional and unforgettable. Though new, it stands out by using only natural, freshly sourced ingredients and being locally owned. The quality and freshness are evident in every bite, and the rich flavors make each dish memorable. I also enjoyed one of the best lamb mimosas I’ve ever had. The sauce was incredible. Not to mention, the food was evidently hand-crafted from scratch ingredients. Highly recommended for a delightful dining experience.“

“Beautiful, clean establishment. Fresh, delicious, carefully prepared and well executed dishes. Unrushed, relaxed atmosphere with lovely service.

Also must note their cocktail menu, and not so commonly seen traditional dishes.

An absolute hidden gem. Fair prices, good portions and appropriate for a date, dining with elders or with friends. 👏👏👏“

“Best Indian/Nepali restaurant in the heart of downtown Raleigh. Friendly service, great menu choices and really excellent food and at affordable price. Most of the public parking is free after 5:00PM.“

“Food here was amazing!! Service was really fast, and my avocado dosa was super good. My server Edwin was really nice and encouraged us to try new things, would definitely go back again!“

“Amazing food (had the tandoori chix) and even more amazing service (they even brought us out a extra serving of rice to take home with our leftovers). Also prices were very reasonable.“

“What a great addition to N Raleigh. Possibly the best Indian food in Raleigh. Beautiful presentation, aromatic food, tasty and delicious. Great cocktails and wonderful service. A beautiful restaurant“

“Food and mocktail- Thyme drink were delish!“

“A hidden gem with beautifully presented dishes, friendly and attentive staff, and the option to choose your level of spiciness, which is great for us as our family ranges from none to make me sweat. I particularly liked their navaratna korma, and boys couldn't get enough garlic naan. Can't wait to try their biryani.“

“I was told by a baffled Indian friend of mine that some of the best chicken Tikka masala in the Triangle can be found at the Crabtree valley mall food court of all places, and he wasn't kidding!! I don't like going to the mall, but this place makes it infinitely worth it - I will go specifically for this food alone, and I'll get extra just to bring home! They make their naan to order, and everything else is ready to go, as with the other shops in the food court. It is my husband's and my favorite Indian food at half the price, and it is EVERYTHING.“

“Got the Thai Green Chicken Curry from their food truck while we were vendors at a market in downtown Cary. Absolutely 100% recommend, some of the best Green Curry I’ve ever had the pleasure of eating. Whether it’s their food truck or brick & mortar location, do yourself a favor and grab some curry from them, you won’t be let down!“

“An immense thank you to chef Eugene from @Kadhai Indian restaurant for donating sample foods for our campers at L'école-French School of Raleigh, in August and providing a free lunch for them! This was a wonderful way to finish a camp about India.“

“Really really yummy food I m highly recommend it 😋😋 Good service 👍👍“

“The friendliest staff and food was ready quickly! This was my first time eating authentic Indian cuisine, and the butter chicken was AMAZING! Highly recommend!“

“our go to for Indian cuisine. korma masala and chittinad are all to die for. I highly recommend“

“We dined last night at Sizzling Stirfry Asian Bistro. We ordered Hakka noodles and Man Chow soup. Both dishes were piping hot and finger licking delicious. The atmosphere was pleasant. Anil and Mahesh were super efficient. It looked like they were the only ones handling the order and service. But there was no chaos, mixing up of orders. Everything was going on so smoothly. The background music was also soothing. Highly recommend this place.“
