“Legit Indian in the area? Fast? Vegan options? YES PLEASE. They are takeout/delivery only, preferably through their own website. Keep in mind everything vegetarian can generally be made vegan if you order + give it extra time. They're legit. Samosas are nice and big. Go here. Enjoy the flavors. Enjoy the food! Only critique: the mango and tamarind chutneys were a little bland.”
“Amazing gem of a takeout place.The food is absolutely fantastic! This is the best butter chicken I’ve ever had. The portions are great for the price. Their website is very easy to use and order from. They are open late as well. The owners are super nice and I highly recommend this place!”
“We need to get more people to know about this place! We didn’t know it was here until we drove by one night and I was like what’s that store. So glad we found it. Decided to try it out. We didn’t know it was take out only but I’m glad we didn’t because we got to see it in person. As soon as you walk in you’re hit with some amazing aromas. It’s so bright and clean. We ordered and while waiting the owner offered us to try some tea. The tea was so flavorful, I absolutely love tea, I’ll definitely have to order some when we go again. I got the shrimp curry and buttered naan, both were delicious! I love spicy food and it definitely has a good kick to it, opened up my sinuses for sure lol. I’m so glad it comes with rice, although i could have just ate the curry and naan and been fine, but i do like putting curry on rice. I think for the price you get a good amount of food. The curry, naan and rice could feed two people in my opinion. My daughter has never had Indian food and she tasted it and said it was really good. Her saying it’s good is a big deal because all she ever eats is chicken nuggets, mac and cheese and grilled cheese. We got this yogurt mango drink that I’ve never had before and not a huge yogurt fan but I like trying new things. The first sip was a little weird to me but I ended up drinking it and it’s actually pretty good, I would order it again and it goes really good with the meal. Definitely try this place out if you like spicy flavorful food! If you don’t like spicy still try it out, the owner said they can make it to fit any spice level.”
“The Patels have built a gem in our community. So grateful that they chose to open their shop in Cary! Note that the restaurant is takeout only. Their food is better than any Indian I’ve had in the city. My usuals are the pepper chicken and chicken korma. As I write this, I’m trying the Methi chicken, and it is absolutely fabulous. Don’t miss this spot.”
“Best Indian around by far, taste very authentic. Great spice to taste ratio. Recommend the chicken 65 and chicken tikka masala.”
“I feel extremely lucky we have such an amazing Indian restaurant. Thank you for having wonderful food, service and variety on your menu. I've been to Mumbai and Goa and your food is better than what I ate there. Keep up the great work!”
“Amazing authentic taste! I’m not going anywhere else for my party orders from now on. The owner is incredibly kind and friendly, and the portion sizes are huge. I used to drive 45 minutes for half the quantity at nearly double the price. Finding this restaurant has been an absolute gem! Chef Ayyanar is truly amazing. His dishes, along with those prepared by Chef Krishnan, taste just like the food from my hometown and bring back wonderful memories of home. Overall, they are incredibly kind people who serve delicious, authentic food with great hospitality. Highly recommended! 😇”
“Had a great experience with this place. Food and service were wonderful! I recommend everybody to order through their website. Somebody took my order when I ordered through door dash which is a third party. The guy threw in some free appetizers for inconvenience. This place cares about their customers and I'm definitely ordering here again!”
“I don’t comment on restaurants too often, but this place deserves all of the kudos. I was going to review it after my first time trying it, but now I have two to make it true. The food is incredibly tasty, all while-being very affordable and with great portions. I got the chicken tikka masala with garlic naan and curry fried rice and I’d recommend it to anyone who’s eating here for the first time. It never disappoints and I feel like it’s even better the second time. Can’t wait to go back and try new plates.”
