22 Best Indian Restaurants in Raleigh

“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.“

“Awesome!“

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

“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.“

“What a fantastic and authentic dining experience today at Amrut. Our server, Marlon, was friendly and attentive, and answered all of our questions about the menu. The food was packed full of flavor, and portions were generous. As someone who enjoys exploring local Indian cuisine, this is a must visit for all.

We enjoyed the tandoori mixed grill, lamb vindaloo, and tikka masala, accompanied by garlic naan.“

“Tasty and high quality Indian Cuisine. I can’t say it is authentic, but I can say it is good compared to other similar restaurants I’ve tried. The Garlic and Cheese Naan is killer good. I had the Butter Chicken which was excellent. Very friendly staff and they provided a special desert for the birthday in our group.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely loved Soul Flavorscape in RTP! Every dish bursts with authentic Indian flavor — the Soul Butter Chicken and Fish Curry are must-tries. The Chaat took me straight back to Delhi! Ended our meal with the Gulab Jamun Cheesecake, which was divine. Warm service, cozy vibe, and food that truly lives up to the name — soulful and unforgettable. Amazing food served with smile!“

“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.“

“A Must-Try for Food Lovers!

Biryani Maxx truly lives up to its name and then some. This spot is an absolute gem, serving up some of the most delicious and authentic Indian food I've had.

The main attraction, the Hyderabadi Chicken Biryani, is simply phenomenal. We're talking fragrant, long-grain rice and perfectly spiced, tender chicken in every bite. The Veg Biryani is just as delightful, loaded with a vibrant mix of vegetables.

But it doesn't stop there. The Chicken Tandoori was smoky and succulent, and the Chicken Kababs were melt-in-your-mouth tender. For a creamy and comforting option, the Navaratna Korma is a dream, and the Dal Makhani is rich, flavorful, and deeply satisfying.

If you're looking for a place that delivers consistently delicious food with authentic flavors, Biryani Maxx is it. Every dish is a winner. I can't recommend it enough!“

“Chicken tikka masala is soo good, rice is good too. I get butter naan and they always make it fresh. The only bad thing is there's never somebody up front, and no bell to get their attention. So if you're in a rush during your lunch be prepared to wait maybe 5 even 10minutes before someone comes up. Its about $20 if you get their tray, naan and leave a tip. But portions are good, sometimes I have leftovers for dinner to eat later.“

“My family stopped by Curry in a Hurry NC food truck for a quick bite and were pleasantly surprised. We got the green chicken! Yummmmmmmy and I mean this with every extra ‘m.’ I would highly recommend visiting when they are in your area or in the food hall. Please tell the owner that Mrs. Hunter sent you. This is a great business to support.“

“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.“

“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“

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

“The food was so amazing. Mongolian chicken, lollipop chicken, and momo dumplings (chicken) were soooo good. The juices, including the mango and lime juice, were also very good. Very tasty. It is not refillable. We will be back soon. Inshallah“
