    Food was wonderful, our fav was Tikka Masala, some of the best I've had. There was a mix up on service and we waited about 15 mins for someone to welcome us at the table, but they apologized profusely and it wasn't a huge deal. Will definitely come back.

    Barsa is an absolute gem in Durham! Best Indian place in Durham without a doubt. The food is packed with bold, authentic flavors and beautifully presented. They were very accommodating with requests. The cocktails were themed with Rain - very creative and refreshing, and the service is warm and attentive. Perfect for a date night or a fun evening out. So glad to have this spot in town. Highly recommend.

    Great variety and portion sizes! A mix of some classics but their own twist to it! Very accommodating of dietary restrictions, which is very refreshing!

    Great food and service. We had the shrimp appetizer (amazing!), the scallops and lamb for dinner (OMG tasty) and the panna cotta for dessert (really different and delicious). The cocktails were also unique. We can’t wait to go back!
