Kipo's has been a staple of Chapel Hill forever, even at its previous location downtown. The…read moreatmosphere tends to be the draw-- it's decorated well, there are some fun foods (flaming cheese?!), and there tends to be a Greek dance train on weekend evenings. I went with a group of 6 adults this past week and realized that the atmosphere no longer outweighs the other nits for us. The restaurant was maybe 80% full, but our servers couldn't find the time to check on us. We had a bottle of wine served, and maybe 15 minutes later needed more wine. We finally got our server's attention and we got more wine. Once our entrees came out, our server and wine guy never came back to our table. We even told them we would like more wine but they never came back with it. We would've bought 4-5 bottles of wine that evening had someone come back to check on us. Instead, we just sipped our waters until we were ready to leave. The food was honestly mediocre all around. The lamb was overcooked and inedible, the eggplant dish was over salted, etc. We liked our dips platter, but it came with a tiny bowl of pita and like three pieces of celery for $24, so most of the dips went uneaten. If someone had asked if we needed more pita or vegetables we would have said yes, even if we had to pay for it. But nobody did. I could go into more details (mansplaining and some belittling all around), but it's not really important. We realized there are restaurants in Chapel Hill that we'd rather visit in the future. I hope Kipo's is able to make some changes because we really love it. But in the meantime we're going to give it a break.

For my birthday, we decided to check out Viceroy restaurant in Durham…read more We had a wonderful dining experience at Viceroy! We started with the Guava Pani Puri and Veg Samosa, then moved on to the Achari Paneer, Anjeer Kofta, and Pumpkin Paneer Curry. The Achari Paneer and Anjeer Kofta were my highlights. Both were beautifully seasoned (medium spice), flavorful, and easily the best parts of the meal. The Anjeer Kofta, in particular, was a delicious mix of sweet and savory flavors. Everything was well-prepared and made for a truly enjoyable meal. I'd definitely come back to explore more of the menu. Viceroy is a great spot for anyone looking for flavorful Indian food with some creative twists!

really good food and drink!…read more when there are SO many indian restaurants in the triangle area, viceroy stands out by having menu items that are different from all the rest. we ordered a bunch of stuff to share and everything was great. the decor was interesting and very reminiscent of a british pub; although it got loud, it was never overpoweringly so. i started with a drink - the carda-mami, which was wonderful. the gin & honey & lemon combination was really well done and the drink wasn't too strong. for appetizers, we got the momo bhel and the guava pani puri. the bhel was awesome. i would order that again any day of the week. the pani puri was also good, but i couldn't really taste the guava and didn't think it was special enough to warrant the price or order more than once. for mains, we got the smoked dal and the anjeer kofta. both were amazing; i especially loved the anjeer kofta and could taste the figs in the kofta, which worked really well with the sweet malai sauce. the naan was great too. we wanted to try the pineapple hibiscus sorbet for dessert but they were unfortunately sold out - however, our server recommended we walk down the street and get ice cream at the parlour, which we did and thoroughly enjoyed. i had a lovely evening here and am happy this place with its menu exists!

We started with guacamole and cheese dip. The guacamole was delicious. We then ordered our meal. I had the surf and turf quesadilla. On the menu it says on a corn tortilla, but I requested a flour tortilla. My daughter ordered the chicken chimichanga and an extra side of pico. The food came out in a good amount of time and the presentation was nice. We both enjoyed our food and we were excited to have leftovers. We ordered churros to go. They were so good!!

Ok, let me get this clear. Many people love this place and I now know why but I also don't want to…read moreunderstate my pure glee when trying this food. I'm a fairly practiced home cook that loves to make food-sciency dishes, Michelin inspired stuff, and true comfort food alike. Most places I've been I could now recreate the majority of the food on my own (including a variety of ethnic food, especially Indian). I think it would take me a few years to recreate ONE DISH from this place. I should seriously be spending time with my mother and grandmother but instead my head is currently buried in my phone while trying to envision the tastes that hit my tongue. Anyways, this place beat the brakes off my expectations, so let's get talking about food and service. First Impression: Upon walking into the restaurant, I was kindly greeted by the man working the front of house (Sonny) and he shook my hand after recognizing my voice. I called fifteen minutes prior to push our reservation and add a seat, but I did not expect to feel so welcomed and comfortable so quickly. Amazing hire and clearly keeps things running smoothly. No notes for the other staff either, they were all exceedingly kind, courteous, and responsive when we had questions. Ambiance: This greatly contributed to the fantastic meal we just had. They had flowers and balloons out for Mother's Day (which was not expected at all either), but also the whole place is filled with natural light and a simply great vibe when eating food. Music wasn't loud/distracting, acoustics never made me worry I was yelling either. The food also was so pretty that it just tied it all together organically. Appetizers: I think this place is pretty well known for its Gunpowder Lamb Chops. So I won't go into excessive detail, but yes it is just that fucking good that if you don't get it, you're probably not thinking straight. I will definitely be back for those because I wouldn't dare try to make it myself and ruin it. We also had this Chaat dish that was a more modern take and it was without a doubt the most creative Chaat I've ever tried. Excellent. Entrees and Sides: We ordered three entrees to share amongst 5 adults (although 2 are older folks) and had two small boxes of leftovers to argue over. The first thing that I tried was the Duck Vindaloo (9.8/10) - I knew immediately I would be writing my very first food review afterwards. I don't even know if putting duck in a vindaloo is conventional, but it's EPIC. My grandparents thought it was a touch sweet but I liked it better that way and it perfectly complemented the duck. Next was the Ember Lamb Shank Special (9.5/10) - which was of course amazing. I actually forgot to put the gravy on top for the first half of the lamb I ate, so the half point off is honestly my fault. Would've been a ten if I was locked in. We also got the Nustea Shrimp (10/10) - which I think you will have to try yourself to believe my rating. I won't even try to describe it other than the sorba (sauce) that we almost licked off the plate. Lastly, we had Naan (8.9/10), Chili-Garlic Naan (9.3/10), Raita (9.7/10), and a vegetable salad (9/10) on the side. I have always thought most Indian restaurants cheap out on the sides, but this one makes them expert level. I genuinely have no idea what the orange crunchy spheres in the raita were, but this was the only time I've ever had raita outside my home and liked it. Desserts and Beverages: We ordered the Kumbala Brulee (9.5/10, genius idea btw). The lovely staff ALSO gifted us some Raspberry cake (9.7/10) which was phenomenal. That was honestly the cherry on top that made me a true believer. Final Note: If you read this far and haven't made a reservation yet then unfortunately you didn't get the point... Go try this place ASAP I pinky promise you won't regret it. I even ordered a goat curry to go so my girlfriend could try the art they are calling food. Oh and did I somehow forget to add ALL THE MEAT IS HALAL??? What a way to put me in the running for favorite grandchild . And Sonny if you're reading this thanks for making this Mother's Day one of the best you're the man!!
