Amazing indian food! The food is not authentic Indian but its very tasty. A lot of places make dishes spicy to make sure people get what they *expect*, but this place is unlike that! The drinks are also awesome. I recommend the 'Bengali Kamikaze'. read more

Love this place! The food is very fine, always plated perfectly, and very delicious! Great value for the quality of the food. The staff is very attentive and ready to rectify mistakes made (which doesn't happen often). The chicken tikka masala is amazing, and we love the mango lassi. read more

Azitra - Indian Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Very overpriced for what you get. Food was ok but have had better. Portions were small. Won't be going back.

Went here for Valentine's Day dinner and everything was perfection! The food was fantastic...and I've had some amazing Indian food to compare. The service was amazing and just right. In a COVID world, no need for hovering waiters/waitresses and they balanced this perfectly tonight. Little touches like complimentary chocolates at the end of the night to celebrate Valentine's Day to offering additional rice to go with our leftovers. Cannot wait to come back and bring the entire family. 5+ read more

Best Indian I've had in years. I've been to Azitra twice, both on dates. The first time I ordered the Seafood Kerala Curry (requested "medium spicy" with no hint of any kick) which I wouldn't recommend (overpriced) but the second time I ordered the best palak paneer I've ever had. Azitra is great for dates with white table clothes and quiet ambience. You will never feel hurried, while at the same time if you are in a hurry you may want to inform the server when you are seated. Azitra also has an extensive wine list. read more

The portions here are so skimpy and the attitude of the restaurant as a whole, the place near Target is 100 thousand times better. Don't waste your time here. read more

I've been consistently pleased with the quality of the food I've received at Azitra. I'm not enough of an Indian food expert to know "good" from "really good", but I do know bad Indian food and I don't think this is bad in the least. The atmosphere is upscale enough to make this a nice date destination, and the youthful, modern decor makes it a nice break from some of the more conventional "nice" restaurants in the area. read more

Very best Indian fare around. Paneer shaslik, chicken Tikka masala, goat curry, chana masala, Dal.... Everything is AMAZING. You cannot go wrong. read more

Very LOUD! Hard to have a conversation across the table. Seems like Americanized food. Not many Indian patrons. Lamb with mango had sauce not pieces of mango. Chicken curry was very dry. And expensive for what you get. Not going back. read more

Came for brunch and all three courses were awesome! Friendly and attentive staff as well. Great for special occasions :)

I'd heard so many positive reviews of this restaurant, maybe I just had set my expectations to high. I should state right off the top that I am not a huge fan of spicy food and I couldn't tell you truly, authentic Indian cuisine from...well, non-authentic Nutshell: Some ok food with indifferent wait staff; for better experience, go to Saffron. PROS ====================== - Tandoor Chicken was *really* good. My wife got this and got 4 large pieces of chicken breast meat. It was tender, moist, and really tasty. - The decor was modern, if a bit dark. Plenty of space to stretch out and not feel as though you are on top of anyone. CONS ======================= - The service was very slow. Admittedly, we were there at ~7:30 on a Friday night, but it should not take 20 minutes from the time we sit to the time that someone asks what we want. then it took close to 30 minutes to get our food. When all was said and done, the 4 of us were there for almost 2 hours. - For each order, the waiter asked how spicy would want it. Our answers seemed to have no impact on the actual spice levels we received. Or rather, our answers were inversely proportional to our results. (I'm bitter cuz I don't care for spicy food, I told him that, Chicken Tikka Masala is not generally spicy-at least the versions I have had, and yet I was sweating several bites in. read more

My husband and I have been here twice and both times were Delicious! We loved it so much the first time that we decided to go back tonight for an early Valentine's date. the chicken tikka masala is super tasty as are the samosas and cauliflower bites. You must also try the assorted breads!!!!! Regular, garlic and.... STUFFED naan!!!! We did however...almost leave right after arriving. The restaurant currently has an 80 sanitation score. read more

This place was awesome! I can't take much spice and they definitely tailored it to be mild; like ACTUALLY mild! The lamb rogan josh was great, the meat wasn't gamey at all and still tender enough to be tasty. The chicken tikka masala was also really great as a mild dish too and I loved the sauce! Everything we had was sopped up with naan and it was perfectly fluffy and hot and toasty! The service was so polite and high class, the patio was beautiful (although service takes some time), the food came out fast, and when we ordered a dessert that car with just two pieces for our party of 3 (gulab) our server came out with a dish with 3 pastries on them! It was such a kind gesture, I will definitely be back here! read more

Two words: LAMB VINDALOO I looooove Indian food, so naturally I had to try this place out. It has quite a reputation for good cuisine, but be warned: the check can tally up very quickly as you start to add the requisite naan and appetizers (like the tasty veriations on paneer or samosas). Forget beer and wine, all you need is bottomless refills of water, since your mouth will be singed from the authentic spices that are brought out with each bite. Although I had the lamb, my fiancée enjoyed a vegetarian dish she described as "crazy delicious" (just like Mr. Pibb + Red Vines). It is definitely worth a try from those willing to spend a few extra bucks for a quiet and romantic evening with your spouse, partner, or that special someone you're trying to impress. read more

Funny, I have been to their other location, Azitra on Broomflied, near Boulder, Colorado. Both restaurants have great Indian food. Can't help it, I love the Tikka Masala, which was delicious. The chocolate cake and the mango cheesecake were well above the average, too. Good wine selection and a full bar. Plus great service. Highly recommended. read more

Got fed up with lunch buffet, so thought of going for a-la-carte. Yes my pick was quite right. The moment you enter you will be greeted with a warm welcome. Quick service, nice Ambiance, warmth staff with smiling faces and the most important FOOOODD. OMG it's been a while I gave up on Indian vegetarian menus, same boring curries wherever you go. By the experience so far thought of ordering 'no one can fail' dish 'Baingan Bartha' and Garlic Naan... To my surprise it was sooo perfect and well seasoned, and prepared in THE AUTHENTIC way!! It can bring tears in your eyes. I couldn't stop eating until the bowl is empty . And finally desert is Gulab jamun with Kulfi, which made me speechless. Yeah, it's a little overpriced but don't mind but I never mind paying an extra buck for taking me to the nostalgic moments at Punjabi Dhaba's back in India. I would go back again and again until the menu is done read more

I don't know what to rate it... we didn't stay. We called ahead .. is the outside open? It's a beautiful night in Raleigh. We were told yes... until dark. Showed up at 6:00... sorry no. And worse yet, we are questioned.. who told you that. Um ... we don't know... a man. Talk about awkward. Sorry that was ridiculous and worse yet... restaurant was empty. Walked away. read more

Ordered Chicken Tikka Masala for takeout and not impressed. Rice was overcooked, sauce was bland and fatty and the naan was extremely greasy. There are much, much better and less expensive places in the area. (Try Kadhai) read more

Tried this food establishment on a whim was feeling Indian food that wasn't from California. Stopped in to azitra's and ordered food based off of the managers referral, found the food to be extremely excellent and well prepared their use of spices and sauces is nothing more than food done with passion and excellent taste. Their food should be noted on any food magazine as a stop if you are in northern Carolinas. I can only stress this enough how great this food wise for taste, texture, smell, and presentation. This restaurant was nothing more than the best read more

Azitra is absolutely delicious, authentic Indian cuisine! As with many restaurants they have been understaffed due to the lack of available help during COVID circumstances, yet they still knock it out of the park! Have patience on busy nights, but come enjoy the fabulous food and wonderful service. read more

Our service was great! The wine list is expensive and leaves a lot to be desired. Grocery store wine marked up a lot. The meal was great as well. Appetizer portion small. It's somewhat expensive overall for what it is. read more

Walked in to Azitra for lunch. Beautiful interior, clean, and inviting. Reasonably priced for the lunch menu. I'm not very experienced with Indian food so I can't vouch for anything else but the Chicken Tikka Masala, naan, and rice I ate. The naan was buttery and nicely salted and the Masala was creamy, hot, and delicious. The service was also attentive. The waiter came by to ask us how our food was and to refill our waters when they were starting to get low-- this was appreciated because Indian food can be spicy! I don't like it when waiters are constantly hovering around me, but the amount of attention the waiter gave was perfect. I definitely recommend this restaurant for Indian food, especially considering the price. A lot of other Indian places are much more expensive, for more or less the same quality and dining experience. read more

Super yummy Indian food! The food comes out family style to share. I ordered an eggplant curry and a cucumber/tomato salad. Everything was delicious! Will definitely be returning! read more

Absolutely loved the ambiance, the service and the food was delicious. Can't wait to go back. Hidden treasure in Briar Creek.

I took my daughter out on a date Friday evening. We entered the long corridor accented with beautiful, oversized, contemporary chandeliers and was greeted by the hostess. We were prompted seated with crisp tablecloth and gentle table lighting. The other patrons were spaced nicely but there was still a light buzz of conversations and banter. We ordered a tomato soup that wasn't overwhelming, but a docile welcome to the palate. I couldn't resist the naan bread and we asked for a plate along with the soup. During the expected wait, we admired the subtle wall designs and splashes of color adorning the restaurant. Nothing audacious, but tastefully placed to remind guests of the Indian culture. Our meals arrived and we dug in. I received the Biryani Goat and my daughter got the Goat Curry, (we adore goat meat). My dish bursted with flavor-cumin, curry and coriander accompanied an ethnic spicy ness that only the naan bread and cucumber sauce could dissipate. The flavor was rich and authentic. I absolutely loved the tender morsels of goat meat mixed into the spicy rice combination. My daughter spooned her white rice together with the curry. It was savory and hearty. They splurged on the meat portions and the meal dared you to eat it all. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal and you should go and experience authentic Indian food in Brier Creek. read more

Ok, 5 stars for sure! Clean, up to date, professional service and most importantly quality food! Ordered the salad, lamb curry and chai. Salad was fresh cold and crunchy! Lamb was tender & full of flavors. Came with naan and was exactly how I like it. Soft of kinda doughy but yet crunchy like a good pizza crust. Chai was so good, I reordered another cup! Enjoy read more

Never had a bad meal there - the food is great. However the wait staff is simple okay - not very personable and I also feel rushed.

Really nice outdoor seating,..... but dry overcooked entrees. Had to ask for a side of curry sauce to eat with the rice.

Consistently excellent-quality food, wine, and service. Raj was especially courteous tonight and made some great suggestions to help us get the most out of the menu. The patio is lovely. With and luck, we'll be back soon. read more

The food here is out of this world. Simply incredible. Each and every time. Tonight I had the lamb kuzhambu. Nice atmosphere, great service, and seems very authentic. Excellent wine selection. Makes you want to eat nothing but Indian food every day! read more

Been here several times. Always love the food. Yes it is a little pricey, but it is worth it. Best Indian food I have found yet in the triangle. So the service is slow and designed for a good solid sit down meal. This is definitely not a fast food restaurant. This is a place to go when you want to sit down for a full meal and not eat and run. Since I'm dairy free as well as gluten free, I have yet to experience any of their paneer but my wife is hooked. I love their Rogan josh and any of their goat dishes. The staff here is excellent. The only negative I have was no GF deserts except ice cream. read more

We walked in at 9:35pm knowing exactly what we wanted - a curry and a Kingfisher - and were told we had to leave even though closing time is 10pm. The kitchen would have had nearly half an hour to prepare this order, which should have been plenty of time. Very rude. No wonder the restaurant was nearly empty. read more

The decor is pretty nifty but fancier than I was expecting for an Indian place. I ordered some chicken tikka masala, as did another of my dinner companions. They ask you to rate your spice desire on a scale of 1 to 5 and she chose 4 while I chose 2. When they gave us the dishes, they inadvertently mixed ours up and I thought that mine was actually not that spicy at all. My tongue tingled a little but, as one that usually likes mildish spices, I figured this was normal. Imagine my surprise when my friend said hers wasn't spicy at all. I figured she was just used to way more spice than i was expecting but when I tried it, it was completely true! The dish was totally bland. Once the spices were gone, it was apparent exactly how much butter they used and it wasn't a very pleasant feeling. Azitra is a little pretentious and a lot expensive but the mango lassi is awesome. However, I love the stuff and it tastes the same here as it does at any other Indian restaurant. Since I live so close to Azitra, I'd go back here again if I had a craving for Indian food and didn't want to drive too far. read more

This place really is A-OK (well played, yelp). The food was reasonable, but not very reasonably priced. I generally judge an Indian restaurant by its naan and its CTM, and both in this case were decent. I was shocked, however, that ordering 'hot' at an Indian restaurant could still bring about such lame-sauce results!!!! The service could have been more attentive, especially considering the fact that I went on a late Friday night with maybe 5 or so other occupied tables. Given the fact that I am a) Indian and b) financially prudent, I will most likely not pay this place a visit anytime soon. read more

I have been going to this restaurant for years and enjoyed every meal! With that said, staff gives the appearance of rushing the customer through. Meals are at a higher rate when compared other local restaurants and plenty of dining tables. No need to rush the customer. My wife and I were seated at our table served menus. We ordered a cocktail plus an appetizer. Cocktails served in a timely manner and appetizer shortly followed. We had enough time to transfer the appetizer to our individual plates, forks in hand when the waiter reappeared standing over us wanting us to order the main course. We reluctantly went back to the menu ordered from the main menu. This took away from the entire meal. This restaurant needs a lesson on how to serve foods to it's costumers. Thumbs down to my meal that night. read more

Best weekend Indian place with a great bartender and cozy, private candlelit outside dining area. Spice level 4 does seem to be the most appropriate balance for heat to flavor ratio. Kind staff, delicious food, excellent drinks and a broad wine list. Try pairing a Pinot noir w some of the spicy dishes for a great Indian meal. read more

Brunch was amazing! Perfectly paced. The outdoor dining was quaint and intimate. Food was impeccable. Patrons were spaced for social distancing. There is so much on the menu I cannot wait to try. I'll definitely be back, and soon! read more

My girlfriend and I shared the kabob sampler appetizer, just to get a feel for the cuisine, and it was great - especially the lamb! For our entrees, I had the lamb vindaloo, which was delicious, but not as spicy as I'm used to, despite the warnings from both the server who took our order and the one who brought our food. YMMV. My girlfriend had the chicken tikka masala, which was some of the best I've ever eaten. The garlic naan was fantastic - we won't be sharing an order next time, we'll be getting a full order for each of us! One of the highlights of the meal was dessert. I had the gulab jamun, which is little pastry dumplings served in a cardamom syrup, and was incredibly delicious. My girlfriend had the mango cheesecake, which was almost better than my dessert. Service was prompt, courteous, and very helpful, at least until we prepared to leave - the restaurant had become very busy after we came in and our server was covering several additional tables, so it took him almost ten minutes to get my credit card to pay the check. Understandable, but annoying, nonetheless. Ambiance is classy and understated, but like most restaurants that strive for this type of atmosphere, they keep the lighting turned waaaaay too low. I'd like to be able to read the menu without squinting, thanks. Total for the meal, without alcohol and including tip, came to about $90 for two and, in my opinion, was well worth it. We'll be back. read more

Hands down the best Indian restaurant in the triangle.. Amazing menu, great tasting food and very helpful staff.. And don't forget the bar.. It is their best kept secret.. All in all best bang for your buck.. read more

Outstanding food and service. Perfect blend of spices for each dish. Appetizers are very good, but save room for the entrees. My prawns with vegetables were excellent. Daughter Maggie loved her butter chicken, and Karen felt the same about her murg jhinga khurmani (shrimp and chicken in an apricot cream sauce. Took the desserts to go because we had no more room left in our stomachs! read more
