18 Best Indian Restaurants in Raleigh

“Awesome!“

“What an incredible dinning experience. The decor is beautiful. Love the dark green velvet booths, very roomy. We had 6 at our table and had plenty of room. Drinks were very tasty, loved how each came in a different glass. We ordered an assortment of small plates, naan, and large plates. Everything was out of this world. I highly recommend. Make sure to make a reservation as they only have 15 tables and only 2 seatings per night.“

“I stopped in for lunch and sat out on the patio. It was beautiful. Tree cover and a retaining wall let you feel like you were out of the hustle and bustle and the shade was wonderful. The service was good. I had goat chops with chili garlic na’an. If you don’t like it hot, stay out of the kitchen, because this stuff was kickin’! I had a Hell Yes Ma’am from a local brewery. Very good beer and washed down the hotness nicely! The food had wonderful flavor and was cooked to perfection.“

“This was my very first time having Indian cuisine! I will definitely be back! The food was phenomenal, the atmosphere felt like we traveled to India and weren’t in Raleigh anymore! The owner is very friendly and takes care of his guests well! Definitely recommend the Lunch Combo #1 to get the full flavors and talent of this restaurant!!“

“We recently had the pleasure of dining at Masala House, and we must say, it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we walked in, The server Ashish impressed us with his professionalism and warm hospitality. He was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, making excellent recommendations to enhance our meal.

The food itself was phenomenal. The chef, clearly a master of his craft, delivered dishes bursting with authentic flavors and perfect presentation. It’s rare to see such dedication and precision, and we truly appreciate the effort they put into making every guest feel special.

Masala House is not just a restaurant; it’s an experience. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for exceptional service and outstanding cuisine. This place has set the bar high, and we can’t wait to visit again!“

“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.“

“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.“

“DRJ &I enjoying Taj Mahal for 7+ years. It is Family run..the dad is the excellent chef. They will know who you are and take good care of you!“

“Pandys Nad Indian is an absolute gem! The service is top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff. The best part is the consistently delicious and savory Indian food. It's my go-to place to satisfy my cravings, and I'm thrilled that it's conveniently located at the mall. Highly recommended!“

“The service was amazing, welcoming, and fast. It was my first time at Morgan’s Food Hall, and the food was amazing. The butter chicken was the perfect balance of all of the flavors within the dish. It wasn’t heavy, greasy, or too spicy. It was perfect. With a side of the garlic Naan bread, and to scoop up the rice, and the butter chicken with it was an amazing bite. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

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

“This was a cute, intimate space with stellar customer service! I unfortunately made the mistake of starting to eat before I got a photo but hopefully my aftermath picture attests that how good the food was! I ordered the Honey Chili Chicken, and my friend had the Thai Curry Chicken. Neither dish disappointed. With most of their dishes, you can choose your spiciness level (mild, medium, hot, extra hot). We went for the “hot” and we definitely got hot!!“

“Best Indian food I have tried in long time“
