“Started off slow but finished off strong!

We arrived a little after 4pm on a Saturday. It appeared that there were two staffers - both very hospitable. We were seated indoors right away (with a choice of in or outside). We received food, wine, and flight menus, but there was a lag to have our order taken (probably 10 minutes). However, closer to 5pm, there was a clear increase in the number of staff.

We ordered::: truffled devil eggs, bacon wrapped dates, lamb sliders, bread/cheese balls, and a charcuterie board in additions to a few different flights of wine.

Truffle deviled eggs - I’d skip. Super bland and no sign of truffle.

Bacon wrapped dates - we received the first order and hit a second. It was that good!! Highly recommend you pair it with their Zuccardi Torrontes (an Argentinian white). The flavor profile is killer.

Lamb sliders - fantastic! Great grill flavor with perfect accents. Pair with the Casa Silva Carménère. Chefs kiss.

Bread and cheese balls - these were good, but unexpected. When they arrived, they looked like meatballs. Super savory and good but likely wouldn’t get again.

Charcuterie - great deal! We assumed that with the tapas sizing, this would be a smaller board. It wasn’t! Lots of different components that we didn’t make a dent in. Went perfectly with red, white, and rosé flights.

We purchased a bottle of wine to go, and the person helping us was super knowledgeable and helpful.

In all, the somewhat lagging initial service truly didn’t last long. It picked up quickly and was outstanding. Would absolutely return!“

“Really really enjoyed the visit! Old World decor and charm, great service, Thanks Kayla, wonderful selection of authentic Tapas, I need to go back, there's so much more unexplored to try! Maybe just seafood this time. There are so many combinations. Keep up the great work!“

“Absolutely unforgettable! We celebrated my daughter’s college graduation at Tamasha Modern Indian Restaurant, and it was flawless. The private dining room was breathtaking, as was the entire restaurant. The service warm and attentive, and the food—simply outstanding. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The chef came out to greet us; we applauded! The staff went above and beyond, down to chilling and slicing the cake and providing a vase for our flowers. If you're looking for an elegant and delicious experience in Raleigh, Tamasha is a must!“

“Great little neighborhood deli in N. Raleigh area. Ordered the Grand Gobbler on focaccia (bread was perfect & so fresh) & the potato salad (literally some of the best I’ve ever had). It was all so plentiful & so very good! Place has a very simple, but tasteful menu. Super nice staff working Sabrina & (Dalton brought our food out & spoke) he always does a perfect job on preparing our sandwiches! 🥪 Overall service was great! Definitely a must for a quick lunch stop! Will definitely be back asap!“

“I had an awesome time earlier this week celebrating a good friend's 25th birthday here. We had the rooftop reserved (both inside and outside). The supervisor Mac and the bartenders Greyson and Brittany were AWESOME! They helped to set the place for the reservation. They catered to the large volume and drink orders. They even made a desert with candles last minute as we sang "Happy Birthday!" The staff here definitely helped to make the night memorable and fun. I did not personally try the food but friends said that it was great! Service and atmosphere were both 10/10.“
