They are situated close to ODU and the parking space consists of metered parking spots, but these spots should be free on the weekends (though I would double check just to be sure). The portions were plenty to where we had leftovers to take home. Even the sampler appetizer we ordered was massive but I will say once you get through half of the sampler, the fried items start tasting about the same. The other thing was we had to wait for our food for a really long time even though there weren't a lot of people in the restaurant at the time. People who sat after us ended up getting served first. And since we didn't get an explanation, we can only assume that it might have had to do with the dishes we ordered that maybe needed to cook for longer. Either way, a great place to get some spice-filled food

I got there a little early and saw that their sign was off; their Google listing said they're open at 11am so I was a bit confused. As soon as they turned the light on I went in. Nothing fancy inside. They had booths and tables. It's pretty small but it was very clean. Service was wonderful. We had some allergies so they were able to accommodate us by suggesting other menu items. I ordered the samosa and chutney appetizer and the butter chicken entree. I was taken aback when they brought the samosa to the table. It looked yummy. However, their menu pictures are completely different than what is actually brought out. Their samosa appetizer shows 5 and suppose to have a mango chutney dip. They only brought out 2 with a green dipping sauce. Don't get me wrong, it was very yummy, just not what was advertised. My butter chicken was not what I'm used to, it was okay, I asked for medium and it had no spice at all. Their chicken pieces were very small. My friend liked her food. I really want to give them 5 stars but I just can't. I'm just not a fan of businesses showing menus or websites of pictures of food and their restaurant only to come in and feel like you've been scammed. The food didn't it look like the pictures nor did the restaurant.

The waitress we had had such a sweet and wholesome demeanor and was also attentive, she even gave us great recommendations when we couldn't choose a certain appetizer.

After the drinks the food came out very quick, first were the Lamb Samosas which were very flavorful and the sauce included paired so well together. I ordered the Chicken Vindaloo as my main meal which was so tasty but also spicy!! Please choose your spice level carefully as I got a 3 for mine and was perfectly spicy but if you're not a spicy fan go lower.

Thankfully it wasn't busy when we visited, so we could take our time and enjoy the food. The lamb chops were outstanding--perfectly cooked, incredibly tender, and packed with flavor. The curry paired with the cooling yogurt sauce took every bite to another level. I ordered Level 1 spice, which was delicious, but next time I'll definitely be a little more adventurous and try Level 2. The cheese naan was another highlight. While it didn't have that dramatic cheese pull you sometimes see, it more than made up for it with flavor. Every bite was filled with plenty of cheese and rich, garlicky goodness, making it the perfect companion to the lamb and curry. The service was just as impressive as the food. Our waiter was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. Overall, Peppers delivered delicious food, warm hospitality, and a comfortable dining atmosphere. It's the kind of local restaurant you find yourself recommending to friends because it's simply that good. We'll definitely be back--and next time, I'm ordering those incredible lamb chops at Level 2!

Here's the deal: It's a small house turned restaurant. Parking is down the asphalt driveway on the side- park in back. Quaint. Small. Intimate. Great place for a date or to bring some friends. Approximately six or seven tables seating 2 - 8 people. At the time we went the restaurant had only been open a month and still putting the finishing touches on a few small things. Even so, it's a very comfortable place and our experience did not lack for anything. Service was fantastic. The thing that makes it great: the owner is serving and/ or cooking and he actually cares that you love your dining experience. Glasses were always full and we were waited on without the service becoming overbearing. No alcohol served while when we were there- might be getting an alcohol license yet- be sure to ask. Sodas, teas and of course water are currently available. Star of the show: THE FOOD. Absolutely amazing. Gobi Manchurian. Lightly breaded cauliflower, fried and served with a mild spicy chili sauce topped with cilantro and little ginger spears. The blend of flavors were amazing- and the fresh herbs put this dish over the top. Add this to your must try list. Chicken tikka masala: was made perfect. It's more tomato forward with just the right amount of cream. Spiced perfectly. Heat scale 1-5. I had a three to be in the safe side and it was a solid three. Feel confident ordering what you typically like for heat. The sauce is made with chunks of green pepper and onion which I prefer and believe it adds just the right flavor to finish the profile. Sauce was 5 stars- fantastic. Pair that with chicken properly marinated (many places do not do this) - no cutting corners here. The result was really one of, if not the best, tikka masala dishes I have had. Highly recommend this. Chicken Korma. Amazing balance of flavors without being overpowering. The cashew comes through perfectly with a buttery sauce, mild but hearty sauce. Perfect comfort food you will want to have stocked in your fridge. Chana masala. Chickpeas cooked perfectly with a light sauce made this a pleasant accompaniment to our entree. Garlic naan. Cooked perfect. It's slightly thicker than some restaurants but not too thick. Cooked to a crisp bottom paired with the butter garlic top. Pleasant texture and wonderful flavor. Don't miss Peppers. Absolutely worth the little drive off of the strip for an amazing Indian food experience. Can't recommend this place enough. See you there soon and happy eating. Cheers!
