There seemed to be some discord in the kitchen as well, and it just didn't give off the greatest vibe. I hope they were just having an off day in that sense, because the food was basically what I was hoping for. I tried some of their signature items, with a rich dal being complimented by an impressively thin and soft bread. I just find ultra-thin flatbread to be delightful. Ordering a sizzler based on yogurt-coated soy chunks was an intriguing option. While I didn't opt for the vegan items on this visit, they had a decent selection marked. The Indian cuisine is plentiful in this area, and this place offered dishes that were different and better than the baseline I would have gotten elsewhere.

The gentleman that took our order was so kind and reassuring as well. It was a pleasure to order. They also ask if you want certain food items to come out sooner or later than others, which is really nice. The room for seating is fairly large and there is always a place to sit. There are nice flowing curtains spread through out. They have really nice Indian music playing softly which does not interfere with general conversation. The food is very tasty. They ask you what spice level you want. Be advised that the spice level is Indian style, not American, so it is a bit spicy but not overbearing. I've also tried their mango lassi, which was very nice and refreshing. I also tried one of the Indian desserts and it definitely had Indian spices in it; quite nice. We will return to enjoy the food, service and environment again!

Overall the food was very good. My only criticism was that my Tandori Chicken was on the dry side which was unexpected given the quality of the other apps and entrees. Also, the prices were on the high side. Will probably try again. I've heard the weekend lunch buffet is especially worth it.

We arrived at the prescribed pickup time and were told the online ordering system wasn't working properly so they had not received the specifics of the order. They admitted it had been like this for a few days. We were certainly able to order from home... and it sure charged our card properly! So, the result was that they didn't start preparing our order until we arrived to pick it up. It was 25 minutes later when we left for home. No discount or extra items were offered to make up for the problem. You just can't run a business like this!

I didn't realize when I first searched nearby and found this location, but it has multiple cuisine spot. I remember thinking as I was driving over that 'man I wish she liked Indian food' because I hadn't had any in some time. Much to my delight when we got here, I discovered not only were their Thai and Chinese inspired stuff, there was a nice large selection of Indian options. She got some chicken lo main, and I got palak paneer. She got some spring rolls, and I got my favorite Samosas. I introduced her to the papadum and chutneys that were given before the meal and she was a trooper and tried them all. Food arrived, was hot, fresh, and delicious. With the samosas it was too much for me to finish my palak paneer and I'm eating it now as I type this up for lunch on Sunday. Lo mein was well liked, she doesn't have a spice tolerance though and a 3 was a bit much for her. she said the spring rolls were great, and had finished off the lomein she brought home by Saturday night. Really great place you should check it out, they do delivery and stuff, but it was great to go in somewhere in person and enjoy a meal. Not a giant seating area but plenty of room to come in sit down and enjoy stuff.

Biryani? More like Mango Masala Mystery…read more Walked into Indian Bawarchi in Apex expecting biryani... walked out questioning my life choices. Ordered the boneless chicken biryani--was it Hyderabadi? North Indian? Nope. It was something entirely new: Sour Surprise Biryani, featuring what felt like a handful of amchur (dried mango powder) and a complete lack of actual biryani flavor. I'm convinced someone in the kitchen confused the spice rack with the candy shelf. Tandoori appetizer? Sizzling, yes. Memorable? Meh. Garlic naan was decent--if only naan could carry the whole meal on its doughy shoulders. Service: 3/5 Two waiters, two tables, one manager--sounds promising, right? Not really. We had to remind them we ordered biryani (you know, the main dish). "Oh, you ordered biryani?" Yes, my guy. That's kind of the whole point. Also had to clear our own table like it was a self-service picnic. Ambience: 4/5 Nice space, clean, decent vibe. Sadly, ambience doesn't come with a side of flavor. Total bill: $50 for a biryani, tandoori chicken, naan, and lime soda. Felt more like a fine-dine price for a college cafeteria meal. Verdict: Come for the naan, stay for... well, maybe just the naan. Biryani fans, enter at your own risk.

The crust was not stellar. It was not thin (I prefer thick) but it was kind of limp, not crisp, so it was virtually impossible to pick up a single slice with my hands. I ended up cutting pieces to make them more manageable or used a fork under an entire slice to help support it while I ate. It didn't stop me from eating all the crust, up to the edges, which is my usual modus operandi. The plasticware was kind of on the shabby side. There were a few (less than a dozen) loose forks and spoons (not wrapped) in a station where you get such stuff. Curiously, there were no knives but I thought I would ask if I needed one. It turns out that I did want a knife, I asked the staff, they rooted around a bit, but couldn't find any at first. I keep a small supply of plasticware, napkins, etc in my car so I got a knife from there. In the meantime, the staff did turn up a couple of individually-wrapped plastic knives. I used mine instead and put the knives with the other plasticware for others to use. I ate half of the pizza at the restaurant and I got a takeaway box for the other half of the pizza for dinner. I will probably return to try other things.
