    We’ve been searching for original, high-quality restaurants since moving to Raleigh, and I’m so happy to say we found a great one. Dining at Tamasha in North Hills was a breath of fresh air — easily one of the best meals we’ve had in the area. From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. The service was warm, attentive, and professional without being overbearing. Every single dish we ordered was an explosion of flavor (thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious). You can tell the kitchen takes real pride in its craft. It’s rare to find a restaurant where you’d gladly come back just to explore the rest of the menu, but we already can’t wait to return (twice more, at least!). We’d bring any out-of-town guests here in a heartbeat. As someone who has dined at places like Rasika in D.C., I found this experience to be truly on par. Refined, inventive, and deeply satisfying. Raleigh needs more restaurants like this. Until then, we’re grateful to have found this gem.

    This a very good Indian restaurant. They have a lot of items on the menu and several that you don't see at a lot of other Indian restaurants. We got some of the lamb dishes which were very good. The quality of the breads in the assorted breadbasket was excellent. The samosas were also very good. We were the only ones eating outside on the particular evening so sometimes the waiter took a while to come around, but he did an overall good job.
