Anddddd, the best dosa in the Triangle goes to..... BLR Bar in Morrisville! A few months back, I had planned a group dinner with a bunch of friends and one person recommended BLR Bar. I love Indian so I said "sure, why not!" A group of 8 of us went and as we all scoured the menu, it occurred to us that this place was vegetarian only. My initial thought (and I'm sure other peoples also) was.. "oh snap.... Did I make a mistake?" Honestly, it's been a long time that I've been to a non-meat establishment and had I known in advance, I probably would have passed this restaurant up, but since I was already there, I, along with everyone else, went with it. We were all seated, drinks had been poured, everyone was committed to their chairs. There was no backing out. From looking at the menu, it seemed like Dosas were popular so being that it was supposed to be a South Indian restaurant, I decided to get it. My friends got the gobi, one spicy and one non spicy. Guys, the spicy was incredibleee. Loved it so much. It was crunchy on the outside, soft in the inside and had a punch to it. But I will say, the non-spicy was just okay, it just didn't deliver that kick to it. When the dosa came, I was in love. It was a beautifully done dosa, with the perfect curl and texture. Paired with the sides, it was delicious. Fast forward six months later, I went to BLR Bar again, but slightly fearful that I wouldn't enjoy it as much the second time around. My fears were put to rest because it was just as delicious as the first time. If you're looking for authentic southern Indian Dosas, look no further. Pay BLR Bar & Curry a visit ASAP! read more

We had great experience yesterday. All the dishes were tasty, portion sizes were good, prices were reasonable and service was great.

The area between Raleigh Durham and Chapel Hill is probably one of the best parts of the country to be looking for regional Indian food. When I asked the staff here, they said they were speakers of Kannada, a language from the south Indian state of Karnataka. And while I have had many restaurant meals as well as home cooked food from more than one, Indian colleague, in addition to my own culinary efforts, this place did offer some new flavors for me.nThe place was busy, and if I were rating the bathroom so I wouldn't give them five stars. From a mouthwatering menu, I managed to defer on a dosa in exchange for a soup delivered with some fried dumplings and a delectable mix of herbs and spices. My entrée was a dry fried okra dish, which came with peanuts, which made it quite heavy I asked for it hot and this wasn't the most immediate spice sensation, but the delayed burn was considerable. It came with some delightful vegetable ribbons on top. Having said that this was the kind of place where I also found myself gazing. It was the other tables ordered with longing. They asked me to come back sometime and if I am in the neighborhood, I would certainly look to return. read more

Excellent choice for vegetarian Indian cuisine in Morrisville. BLR catered a wedding we attending in Durham. Lunch, dinner, and dessert items catered by BLR were delicious! There were ample options, good variety, and everything was presented well. Only thing missing were labels for the items. Most items are easily recognizable, but not all. read more

BLR is the airport code for Bengaluru. BLR rocks South Indian vegetarian fare. I tried out the tiffin platter, which consists of idli, vada, a mini masala dosa, some upma, and a generous helping of kesari for dessert. I must admit I was impressed with all the items. This combo is only available for weekday lunch, if I understand correctly. This is ironic, since it has the potential to induce a food coma which office goers in the area may not want. My wife ordered a rava dosa and asked for it without onions, which they were able to customize for her. She was happy with the rava dosa as well. I washed it all down with south Indian style filter kaapi, which was satisfying. read more

We visited BLR Bar & Curry Restaurant for lunch today and had a lovely experience. We arrived around 1:30pm and were seated right away, even though they close at 2pm. The server let us know upfront that we'd need to place our full order at once, which was completely understandable.We ordered idli, masala dosa, and paneer lababdar with garlic naan. The idlis were soft and fresh, and the dosa--though not very large--had the perfect balance of a crunchy exterior with some thicker, softer bites inside. The chutneys and sambar were flavorful and delicious.The standout was the paneer lababdar, which truly lived up to its name--rich, creamy, and absolutely delicious.Overall, a great lunch experience, and we'll definitely be visiting again. read more

Started off with super high expectations and then went downhill from there 1. Service is abysmal and missing in action 2. Dosa was woefully undercooked 3. The place was crowded and they had only 2 people staffed to serve The pricing is on the higher side. The owners appear to not care about quality of food and experience. They are the only game in town with this cuisine so it's probably why they are getting away with it. If they had genuine competition, this place would be closed in a moment! Stay away till they fix fundamental problems that make a trip here feel like they are doing you a huge favor by serving you food (that they charge a pretty penny for!). Atrocious experience with perhaps a flash or two of positive moments (ex. The one gentleman with a hairnet that was engaging and willing to listen. The other two seemed like they didn't care). read more

If there is a negative star I would have given. I retreive all my stars. Today Jan 12 and I reached your Restaurant at exactly 9:06pm and you have Restaurant open till 9:30pm and today I have denied service saying kitchen is closed at 9:00pm. Where the hell you have mentioned that? Is this how you treat hungry customer? Atleast you should have checked with the chef and requested whether he can make something. This is ridiculous for Restaurant. You're open till 9:30pm means you should serve food till 9:30pm and no Restaurant in the world mentioned that their kitchen closes early. Worst Customer Service. read more

Yikes I had such high expectations for this place. I'm surprised no one's mentioned the incredibly small portion sizes. The service was average. They forgot to give me potato filling for my dosa and I asked for a spicy dosa but they forgot to put green chilis in it. The taste was okay, but I would much rather go to another South Indian vegetarian restaurant that's in the area and get more/better quality of food than here. read more

I would definitely rate this as number one in South Indian Cuisine in the RTP area. It would rank above Anjappar in the idlis, wadas and dosai category. The only dish that I did not like was their "saagu". This same item too is served as Veg Korma, so be careful. I love their idli, wadas and specially their rava dosai. Definitely a comfort zone for me. read more

So-so but there are better options and I wouldn't recommend this to anyone or take anyone here. Annoyed that they charged a BS $3 charge just to have the normal serving of potato masala that comes with the masala dosa on the side instead of inside the dosa (they did not put any masala inside, only a tiny serving of the potato masala on the side, and then charged it as "extra potato masala". If you want to advertise reasonable prices on the menu then don't resort to shady practices like this to make up your margins. And also the dosa was very greasy and unpleasant and the coconut chutney way too salty. They added a 20% gratuity which the service level was not on par with. read more

The best South Indian restaurant in this area. We have been here a couple of times but mostly we get a to go order. We pretty much loved everything we tried here. The rava dosa was really good and so was the idly vada combo. My favorite though is the Bisibele bath. We have ordered it do many times till now. Their pani puri was good but it was spicy. Their paneer sizzler was really flavorful and the paneer was very moist. If you haven't been here yet, please do visit. Don't go for the ambience but please go for the yummy food. read more

I have been here more than once - I thought of this as a South Indian food - which is awesome - in terms of dosa and bisi belli bhat but recently we tried North Indian food too - paneer makhani and palak paneer. No one in triangle makes better palak paneer that these folks do. We asked spice levels and they were honored. The service is good. The ambiance is lots of pictures of modern and renovated banglore airport. read more

BLR is a fantastic restaurant! Incredible, authentic food with many options and large portions. Went with a large group that included meat-eaters, vegetarians, vegans, and a kiddo - everyone heavily complimented the food and left very full. The service was fast and very kind, even though the restaurant was completely full. Will definitely return! read more

Food and staff was alright. Long wait time, which was the only downside. Overall, I was not super impressed with this location. I understand the rush hour during peak time but I feel like I could have been informed better when my order was taken, and during the process. read more

I first came to know about this restaurant through reviews in a local group. The name, menu, and concept really had my interest since I miss the south indian breakfast places in Mumbai and hadn't found one that meet expectations. I was surprised that this new spot exceeded our expectations. We decided to try it on the Friday before Memorial day weekend; the place was packed at 8 pm and we had to wait for 15 mins. The place is well spaced out with a casual feel. We ordered afghani paneer tikka, bonda soup, paneer lababdaar (recommended by staff), tandoori roti. All dishes had minimal oil which is a huge plus and something I truly appreciate when dining out. Afghani tikka: Paneer was soft and dish had the right flavors. Veggies were fresh and chutney flavorful. The marination could have been better but we liked it overall. Bonda Soup: Our fav dish of the night. Bonda had lots of pepper, coconut, and softness. However, the soup/daal took away the award for best flavors. Definitely ordering it again. Paneer lababdar: Less cream, balanced flavor, and generous portion. I loved that it is not your template paneer tikka Tandoori rotis were perfectly done and soft. Their quantities are great. Also this is a pure veg restaurant. I look forward to trying their breakfast menu and would surely be returning here! Thank you to their staff for excellent customer service especially the gentleman who served our table! Week2: Tried Mangalore bajji which was delicious and the green chutney took me back to India. Paneer butter masala was good. Highlight of the evening was their dessert called Coconut Garden. It is defines what wonders a perfect fusion dessert can work on your senses. Layers of coconut dry fruit base, pannacota, and cream topped with chocolate art and flowers! read more

We had food here multiple times in the restaurant and as take-out. The quality of the food is excellent, and the service in the restaurant is fast and efficient. The bisebelle bath is excellent. We had it multiple times. The Paneer lababdar was very tasty. On certain days, they serve Pani Puri in the restaurant. In the recent past, our tolerance for spice has gone down a notch, so when ordering, please be sure to get the right spice level. We stick to Mild these days. read more

BLR Bar and Curry - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Morrisville, North Carolina

Menu descriptions could go a long way here. They are catering to a very specific dining population (S. Indian) by not providing explanations, so for those not familiar with S. Indian food you have no idea what you are in for and looking up each dish is stupid. While I am fairly well versed in most Indian food offerings this menu was completely foreign to us. We ended up ordering the broccoli pakoda (aka pakora), bisi bele bath (a mushy lentil dish) and Hyderabadi Veg Curry (a tomato based curry). We ordered mild for all dishes and it was a good amount of spice. The items all tasted fine but we are unlikely to be back unless I bring a S Indian friend with me to decode the menu and make suggestions. read more

Excellent food - very tasty and good quantity! Good service as well. Will definitely recommend this and go back. read more

Nice to have a fully vegetarian restaurant , and be able to chose everything on the menu! The paneer was soft, yummy and outstanding. Rava dosa, sambar and chutneys we very well made and generous in proportion. Gobi sezhuan was a bit on the spicy side but unbelievably crispy and flavorful. The staff are awesome. The only downside was the decor, which wasn't too hip, except for the gorgeous wall panels of BLR airport. read more

Went to this restaurant after a recommending by a colleague & first impressions are amazing. This takes me back to my college days in Bangalore eating Chow Chow Bath & Set Dosa. Their food has a very home made flavor & super delicious. My kids love it & being vegetarian, this is a haven for us now. Must visit if you're from Karnataka or if you are looking for delicious south Indian style food. read more

excellent food, it is a vegetarian restaurant which really attracted me. you can get south indian food and panjabi food there

Excellent! Other restaurants need to learn how to make sambaar. Easily the best food around.

Worst place not worth it food is small portion and service is pathetic . Guy just roam around forgetting things they only entertain big crowds and service was late also read more

People might judge me for saying this but I hated this place. I am a South Indian so I wanted to try their food. I ordered bisebelle bath. It didn't have any taste to it other than being extremely spicy. I was put off the moment I sat down. They served water in a glass which wasn't clean and when I have asked the staff to change the water , I was given death stares.. The food gave me stomach burn. They have not even asked what is the spice level I want. Never going back here. read more

My server Sagar was super helpful and very friendly. He took the time to explain the dishes to me. I told him my preferences and he helped me chose my new favorite Indian dish, kadai mushroom that I highly recommend. Overall great experience and look forward to coming back read more

Good South Indian food. Great service. There is always a wait time. It would be great if they had an online reservation system through yelp.

The atmosphere is super depressing. The service is slow. The food is ok. Best to eat freshly made. read more

I order a to-go order with the cauliflower and jackfruit sukka, both were fantastic and I would highly recommend! I will definitely be back!

Awesome South Indian food. My personal favorite Vada sambar and Dosa. Loved their ambiance and service was good.

The dosas, curries and rotis are really good here. The wait time for the food was not bad. The service is a little slow and couple of staff memes are rude. It's a casual dining restaurant. Giving this place 3 stars purely for the food. read more

Amazing food. Have been there multiple times. Love their Paneer Lababdaar, Rava Dosa, chilli onion naan and smoked Paneer from tandoor.

Great food in Cary area. We tried their dosas and bisi bela bath - great taste! Will definitely come back when back in the area.

The food, as well as the service, at BLR is absolutely the very best I've had. I've eaten at a number of Indian restaurants and this stands out as truly superior. Our server, Sagar, was helpful, efficient and very friendly and this added to our having had an outstanding experience. I can honestly say that BLR is now my new "go-to" source for delicious, authentic South Indian food!! read more

I had lunch on a weekday this week at BLR. We were four of us. We went in at around 1pm and the restaurant was almost fully occupied. Our server was very pleasant. Our four individual orders were: iddly plate and filter coffee, tiffin plate (one iddly, one vada, some upma, some kesari, sambar and chutney), poori sagu and Hyderabad curry and rice. All our selections were good and fresh. I was irked by the Fox News channel on the only TV screen in the restaurant. read more
