    Amazing food!
    Sarah G.

    Kathmandu Kitchen is one of my favorite Indian restaurants in the Triangle. I've never had a bad dish here, and their paneer tikka masala is hands down the creamiest I've ever had. The biryani is also super good, and I love the tea they offer at the beginning of the meal. Service is exceptional, and while I've never had their takeout I bet it's just as delicious. You will love the food here!

    Chicken Curry shrimp Palak Shrimp
    Shanelle Y.

    Came for dinner on a Saturday evening and the restaurant was fairly empty. This along with the Himalayan instrumental music playing in the background made for an overall peaceful ambiance. The food took a little while to come out, maybe around half an hour. I ordered the chicken curry which was delicious. The chicken was very tender, not dry at all! I also tried some of the shrimp palak which one of my friends ordered, and it was amazing. The spinach sauce was creamy, buttery, and very flavorful. Every bite of this meal was amazing! Food and flavor wise I would give them an easy 5/5, but service could be a little faster and the portions could be a bit bigger hence the overall 4/5. Regardless, the food is delicious and definitely worth trying!

    malai kofta and garlic naan
    Aditi K.

    I got takeout from this place on Friday night before the snow was supposed to start. Placing the online order through the website was very straightforward and easy. Prices are reasonable and comparable to other restaurants in the area. I ordered one order of the classic veggie momos, malai kofta, garlic naan, baingan bharta, and tandoori roti. You're able to modify the spice level to your preference, so I chose medium for the malai kofta and "medium plus" for the baingan bharta. My mom had most of the baingan bharta, so I didn't have much, but what I tried was tasty! I had the malai kofta and momos, both of which were absolutely excellent. The garlic naan was also quite good. It seemed nice from the inside when I went to pick up the food and was pretty empty, so I'd love to go back and try other menu items while dining indoors!

    Chicken Tikka Masala and Vegetable Samosa.
    TJ C.

    My wife and I went there last night and enjoyed the vegetable samosas and Chicken Tika Masala. The staff is friendly the atmosphere is very nice and clean. The one thing that was a little off was the pricing seems a little high for what you get.

    We have enjoyed everything we've tried at Kathmandu Kitchen. Service is good and friendly and the food never disappoints. A must try.

    Samosa Chat -- as good a version as I've tried
    Evan D.

    Never thought I would be writing it but here goes: Cary is so full of Indian/Nepalese places that for my wife and I some of them have fallen between the proverbial cracks. We had actually been driving by KK on the way to our two standbys and had been to Golden Hex across the street but had no clue KK was tucked away at the intersection of Maynard and High House. Everest Nepali has been awful the last two times we have been there and Himalayan Range is closed on Mondays so we ended up at KK last night. I've tried probably a dozen or so restaurants of its ilk over the past eight or nine years and Kathmandu Kitchen is the best meal I've had, hands down. Service was just a super nice woman who was really on top of things and knowledgeable about the menu. My wife and I shared two appetizers and two curries -- here's our take on the meal: 1. Samosa chaat -- I'm not a bit fan but this one was totally good. You could tell the samosas were made in-house and it wasn't drowning in chana masala (Everest Nepali's was so much it was inedible!); 2. Crispy cauliflower -- basically gobi Manchurian. This version was excellent as the florets were cut large enough to the point where you could still taste the cauliflower and not just breading; 3. Bhindi Masala -- delicious, as good a version of this okra curry as I've had anywhere although the 'hot' could have been spicier (next time I'll ask for extra hot) And 4. Lamb Bhutawa -- one of the best things I've eaten in a long time and potentially the best Indian/Nepalese dish I've ever eaten. The lamb is perfectly moist and full of complex and savory flavors. It's a dry curry so not creamy or saucy but man is it amazing. We killed it and are already planning a return visit for more Bhutawa. Overall we absolutely loved the place and can't wait to return for some chhoila, goat curry, fried momos and of course more of that outstanding lamb Bhutawa

    Chicken korma and the tandoori plate
    Wowezow E.

    The chicken korma is the best! I crave it. I wish it was in Phoenix! I definitely need to eat it every time I'm in the area. The biryani is delicious too. I really enjoy this restaurant!

    Veg classic Veggies MoMo(Classic)
    Vini E.

    *EDIT* Visited again on 10/12, wasn't disappointed! Ordered chili chicken momos, tandoori chicken, navratna koorma and garlic naan. So good!!! ***************** First off, as soon as you walk in the place seems warm and inviting. Decor and space is very cute. There's pleasant music and a beautiful fragrance in the restaurant. Service was overall slow today. Our server seemed to be more interested in her phone. I had to call her to come take our order. Food is really nice. Below are items we ordered with review. -mango lassi: really good! -Himalayan masala chai: milky but still tasty. Probably one of the few chais I enjoyed at a restaurant in the US -veg classic momo: this was a little disappointing. I expected more maybe. There was too much salt in the stuffing. It comes with 2 sauces which were nice - butter chicken with butter naan: husband and son loved this! Probably the best butter chicken we've had in the US. Usually at other places the dish is too sweet. -veg chow mein: this dish was weird and different . Usually this dish is simple and doesn't have and sauce. Not sure if this dish was made Nepali style. If the sauce was less maybe I would've enjoyed it more. Overall I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Butter Chicken Garlic Naan

    Stopped in recently for the first time and really enjoyed the food. The space is pretty big to accommodate plenty of people and the few staff members we interacted with were friendly. Only tried the butter chicken and garlic naan but both were super good and hit the spot! Will definitely be back.

We sat outside this day, as the weather was mild and there wasn't any available seats inside. We ordered a fried combo and a grilled combo. TrySeafood does a lot of things right. Portion size was fairly generous. We especially love the fact they serve cleaned jumbo shrimp. Food was cooked well, shrimp was tender as was scallops. The broccoli was not tender crisp nor mushy. The potatoes and corn were delicious. While service was friendly, it was a bit slow. Also, I'm not an Old Bay fan. The grilled shrimp were seasoned with Old Bay. While the fish was crispy, I prefer a cornmeal dredge to a flour dredge. Finally, (and this could have been a me thing) the tip percentage on the screen doesn't align with the math. I intended to tip 15% - which is standard especially considering slow service. That should have been approx $8 and when I got home I realized it was approximately $16. You're not given a printed receipt and if you're in a rush and going through the process quickly it's easy to miss. Again I may have missed something, but I'm pretty sure I selected the %15 option. Additionally, I've seen other restaurants that have intentionally include this practice. Would I go again, sure. I'd request a different seasoning blend or a light seasoning and check that math!

We made reservations ahead of time online since it was a Holiday. First off the front staff was super friendly and got us to our table right away. Love the feel and the decor. The lighting was a tad dark but that's ok. It was still cozy and romantic. Our waitress was super friendly and knowledgeable. They had a special Valentine's Day menu. She ran down the specials by memory. She took our drink and appetizer order ( the calamari fritti) gave us time to check out the rest of the expansive menu. The drinks came and our app. The lemonades were very sweet and nicely tart from the real fruit purée and lemons. Delightful! The calamari fritti was a knock out, home run. The breading was delicious. The calamari was nice and tender. The marinara was so good. Get this is you like calamari! For our mains we got the Sea bass special with the creamy risotto and asparagus and the figure 8 stuffed Flounder. Lemme tell you...This place knows sea food. What an incredible experience. The sea bass Valentine's Day menu special was cooked to perfection. So flaked and moist. Seared and seasoned perfectly. They should add it to the main menu. The risotto was amazing. Creamy and flavorful. The asparagus was cooked perfectly. The figure 8 stuffed flounder was delicious as well. The crab stuffing was absolutely great! The sauce over top was creamy and worked perfectly with the flounder and crab. It came with the most delicious fresh green beans with a couple nicely seasoned tomatoes. The rice pilaf was also really nice. Around this time I realized the Valentine's Day menu had Oysters Rockefeller ... and I love oysters Rockefeller. So I put in for an order of those. Best oysters Rockefeller I've had in a long time! Add these to the menu! For dessert... we ordered the apple crumb at vanilla bean ice cream. Perfect way to end out meal. We cannot wait to come back and try the rest of the menu! Save us a table! Kudos to the staff and chef / cooks. Yall did an amazing job.

Nice atmosphere inside, but recommend reservations as they fill up quickly. The Deets: Some friends/coworkers and I decided to catch up over a meal and we decided on trying out this location of Cape Fear Seafood Co. on Lake Pine Drive. I had been to the one located in the Village District (formerly Cameron Village) of DTR in the past and knew of this one opening up through Yelp. If you know me, I am usually not one for seafood but remember I had a pretty good experience at the one in DTR. We noted that it would be a good idea to have a reservation so one was made. Good thing, this place gets crowded fast, even around the 5pm point. Upon arrival, we were promptly shown to a table with menus. While walking in, this restaurant has that beach type feeling with brightly painted areas and subtle pelagic decor without going overboard. The bar area gave a warm, inviting vibe. Back to the menu, their menu is pretty expansive but not over the top multiple pages. I think even the non-seafood lover can find something to like here. We started with hush puppies for the table and I went with the appetizer sized mini crab cakes for myself. I loved the mini crab cakes and the lemon beurre blanc sauce with them, just enough for a starter and tasted great. The hush puppies were good as well but just a tiny bit too brown for me, they were a little bit more done than I'd like. I like them more of a golden finish instead of brown, just my preference. For my main dish, I went with their Cape Fear Shrimp & Grits. They are a pretty popular choice here and I remember liking them at the DTR location. They remained a great choice, they were delicious. They are very flavorful and enjoyable without being spicy, which I like as I am non-spicy food person and it seems most everywhere does their shrimp & grits spicy. I find this take on them refreshing. I would have liked more cheese grits in the serving as it seems to be like a half serving, however the shrimp as well as the creamy sauce were plentiful. Service did a good job here, checking on us periodically. In all, I liked this experience here at Cape Fear Seafood Co. for the most part and would enjoy visiting again in the future.

The Pecan pie with warm salted caramel ice cream was nothing short of a spiritual experience, and Hayley's recommendation to pair it with Rum Flip was perfect. Yes, I Ubered.
