Incredible service and wonderful food! We weren’t sure given the proximity to NC State if this would live up to our expectations but it was well worth the drive. Parking is tough. Atmosphere is a cool, fresh vibe. Our waiter was on top of everything with kindness. We loved the knockout chicken and the rosemary naan! We will be back!

10/10 recommend!! We had an awesome server name Matthew and he gave us superior service. Not to mention, at the end he gave us extra rice to take home with our left overs. Also, the food was amazing! One of the best Indian restaurants my husband and I have been to lately. I highly recommend this place to anyone whether you’re having a date night or a chill night.

Our server Matthew was very nice and engaging. He provided high quality service and I appreciated his check ins to make sure we were enjoying the food and having a good time. My Husband and I enjoyed celebrating our first year of marriage here and enjoyed the ice cream dessert so much! It was a great way to tie in all the amazing food we shared up until that point. Honestly, this has been added to one of my favorite restaurants in Raleigh. I enjoy Indian food very much and honestly I can say your food is the best I have had in this area! Period! I’ll definitely be back and I will recommend others to visit as well.

This is the BEST Indian restaurant in Raleigh and amongst the best overall restaurants in the city. I come here about once a month or so but this was my first time with a large group. I seriously have no idea how they have such an expansive menu and are still able to make everything so good. Also, thank you for having so many vegetarian options! We had an amazing time and the service was perfect. Thank you, Valen, for making the night special! If you mention a birthday, these guys will go above and beyond!

Our second time dining here, much better service than first visit, food was awesome. We were dining with our boys who are not spicy food eaters so we really appreciated our waiter explaining dishes to them and the ability to choose the level of heat. We devoured two appetizers, vegetable samosas and knockout chicken, both delicious. Main meals included goat Korma, chicken Jalfareze, Madras chicken Dum Biryani, Madras chicken curry, mint and basil naan, garlic naan and plain naan. Lovely presentation on all meals. Too full for dessert, but our waiter surprised the boys with a treat of strawberry Kulfi. Delicious. Dinner was accompanied by Kingfisher beer and NZ sauvignon blanc for the adults, both reasonably priced. Sat in a roomy booth, the noise level was good, the place was spotless. A lovely family meal.

15 minutes after sitting down we had yet to be acknowledged. As I was getting up to find the hostess, the server walks over. Come to find out this is the guy we noticed was just standing around. He has even come to stand at the bar behind our table but never acknowledged us. Afterwards the service was fair. It’s beautiful on the inside. If you like a good drink, try the espresso martini. The drink was exactly how I like them and not watered down. The gentlemen who actually did bring our food out were very pleasant. The food is plentiful. Try the Chicken 65. It was my moms birthday so they did bring her a slice of Tiramisu. I’d give it a 3.5 overall.

If you have never had Indian food or you are not very familiar with it, this is the place. The servers can lead you to order plates that fit your pallet. It was very pleasurable to eat here even not knowing how to order. You have to order de Naan, or breads. Mine was the garlic o e and was delicious. Any of the curry’s are great also. The spicy level on the plates is a number 3 from a 1 to 5. It was enough for me and I like very spicy food.
