★★★★★ 5.0 Sean Mann · Jan 2026

Amazing food. Curries were delicious. Medium level spice was a little mild for me but present. "Perfect amount of garlic on the naan" - My Wife. Peshwari naan was new to me. Very gentle sweet flavor. I don't like coconut very much but it tasted great in this. Can't wait to go back and try more.

This is the best Indian restaurant I have been to in the entire RDU area (and I’ve been to 10+ in the last six months). I had the saag and makkiki roti and it was so rich and delicious. The people I was with got the vegetarian thaili, chili paneer, aloo tiki chaat, and gobi Manchurian and they were all delicious. A lot of the menu is gluten free too! I will definitely be back and am excited to try their lunch buffet! Note that you may have to wait a bit for food, but that’s because it is fresh and the taste makes it worth the wait.

We ended up having their buffet. As Vegetarians, we found their dishes to be quite delicious. Nothing too spicy or oily but quite flavorful and fresh. We didn’t try any non-veg dishes (there were 4 of them). The host was really nice and she added a personal touch by getting us fresh chapati (as we didn’t want any readily available naan). Ambience was nice and cozy (nothing flashy). I wish the buffet pricing was clearly advertised on the website, as it is quite a value in RTP area (we got to know about $16 lunch buffet Monday-Thursday and $18 Friday-Sunday). Special deal for vegetarian-only made it worth.

Food was delicious and we were well taken care of. I strongly recommend ordering a thali to get a good sample of the menu at an affordable price.

Went for the lunch buffet and loved it so much that I went again the next day and loved it just as much. Amazing buffet selection; highly recommend the nonveg options (the tandoori chicken was incredible), and loved the wide variety of veg options. The buffet's veg options were different both days. Tasted just like home (so you know you're getting authentic Indian food) and service was great. Naans were warm and tasty. Highly recommend as a great lunch/dinner spot if you're in the RTP area.
