I am giving this restaurant 5 stars not just because of the food, but how they treated us at 15 minutes to close on Christmas Eve. First time we've visited there and we were going to surprise our daughter with dinner after work. The lady and man were so kind. They had run out of Naan and had already closed the kitchen down...but made fresh Naan for us anyway. It was VERY much appreciated. The food looked and smelled wonderful! My daughter said the food was absolutely DELICIOUS! We WILL be ordering from them again next time we are in Raleigh! Thank you Pandya Nad! read more

Delicious food, chicken tiki masala was tender and very flavorful, garlic naan was 8/10. Even though it's in the mall food court this restaurant is delicious It took a minute to get the garlic naan which means it's fresh and i was totally ok with that. read more

I'm so glad we chanced on this amazing food kiosk at the Crabtree Mall! I ordered lamb biryani and the chicken kothu parota and they gave me a small serving of raita. Also, so glad the owners of the place stayed a little late for me for me to get my orders. So let's go on with the food grades I'd give the biryani an A. Perfectly spiced and flavored and the fresh caraway and carom seeds mixed in provided that amazing aromatic flavor that made this dish so intoxicatingly delicious. The chicken dish was okay. A little too greasy but serviceable. B-. The raita side dish was just as I remembered it. It was tart, citrusy and creamy all at the same time. I give it an A. I'm definitely going back for another biryani serving! read more

I go here all the time for lunch (like ALL the time) - so good and consistent! Great lunch spot if you're in the mall! Great spot to meet friends. Service is quick and the man is always fresh! read more

The flavor of the food was decent but the chicken was way overcooked which is difficult when using thighs. The samosa was not warm and had a chewy texture. Price was fair but this is definitely mall food court quality. read more

WOW!! They served literally the best dosa I have ever eaten. My only criticism of this spot is that they still use styrofoam vs. a green option. read more

Bad service !! Bad health score. Good is dry and covered in plastic. We will not be bad. They really need to fix the food and working on customer service. read more

Never had indian food till today, everything was good! Butter chicken was amazing. Service and atmosphere wasn't anything special but that's not why you go to a place like this. read more

The food is home made and there is buffet or made to order and both options were super fresh! We had dosas with veggies and soup and a rice bowl. The family was really nice to is, very patient and explained all the different foods to us. This is at the food court so your typical dining set up but this place is so worth it. read more

A very pleasant surprise for a food court ! Great dosas, chicken curry was not oily and good quality meat. Potato curry was good but sambar and noodles were flat. Very friendly service, excellent online ordering portal and fast. read more

Fast and friendly service. I got the paneer and the servings were generous. Pretty cheap as well and I got full fast. As far as mall food court foot is 5/5. +1 for vegetarian options read more

Very nice man that served me. The food looked so good had a hard time choosing. Then I saw the deal, three meats with rice under $10. This is the way to go. He gave me so much food I took it home and still had two more meals. I choose Butter, Tikka Masale and Curry all Chicken and basmati rice. Everything was very good but it did need salt and there was no heat. But the flavors are there. I also had a Veg samosa that was good. Can't remember the name of the brown sauce but it is sweet and yummy. He gave that to me since he did not have any mango chutney. He only has mint. My only regret is that I did not try the Mango Lassi. If you like Indian food and want lots of it for a reasonable price this is the place to go. The table next to me saw the food and asked about it. By the time we left they had ordered the same thing. Yes, it is that appealing to look at and makes you want to purchase.... so go it at the Crabtree Mall food court. read more

Wow I am impressed! Not just food court-good, but legitimately good Indian food at food court prices. I just got the rice bowl with the curries on the hot table because we didn't want to wait (mcds for the kids next door). Butter chicken very lovely and creamy and flavorful, veggie curry spicy delicious, veggie biryani had the seeds and flavor you want, chicken Tikka masala hit the spot. Worth a visit! read more

Kathi roll in a tortilla wrap? Pathetic excuse for a kathi roll. Stuffing was okay. Do the recipe the right way please. read more

Surprisingly, some of the best Indian food in Raleigh is at Pandya Nad at the Crabtree Valley Mall food court. I was skeptical to eat here, but am so glad I tried it. I really enjoy their butter chicken and naan, but if you want something really special, go for the masala dosa. The buttery curry potato feeling is the perfect complement to the dosa. It is huge and very filling. The staff are always friendly and helpful. Definitely check it out if you're looking to try something new in the mall. Sometimes I go to the mall just for the Indian food. read more

Great food and service! Garlic naan was amazing! It was hard to choose because everything looked so good

This is the best food court food I've had. The butter chicken, naan, and mango lassi were all so good. Highly recommend!!! read more

GREAT Indian food! I'm here visiting from a small town and we hit the mall today. I used to live in the city and MISS Indian food something fierce. THIS PLACE IS DELIC! I ate the GLUTEN FREE & VEGAN vegetable curry with rice. You won't be disappointed. I have a TON of food restrictions and was able to eat at the mall! And it was sooooooo good! Next time I visit I'm eating here fauna for sure! The food is not regular mall food. It is HEALTHY and DELICIOUS! read more

Ordered a plate with Butter chicken and Lamb curry, but I regretted it was not only good, I couldn't eat them. My wife ordered Chole bhature, it was also so so. Having dined many of the Indian restaurants in this area, I'll never try it here again. read more

Great food - amazing service, all food we tried was delicious. The price is reasonable as well

This place couldn't quite beat out my two favorite Indian spots, but we still loved everything the few times we've ordered from here. I'll definitely keep it in the rotation. read more

This isn't your typical Mall Food Court type of place. They are legit! The chicken is super flavorful I had the rice bowl with the tikka masala and the butter chicken. Plus a side of garlic naan which was cooked fresh to order and piping hot. I will be definitely ordering from them again to try more! read more

I never miss a chance to grab food from PandyaNad when I visit the Crabtree mall. Their veg briyani and 2 curry combo is my favorite.

Food is delicious I got the chicken tikka and the butter chicken both amazing. highly highly recommend!!

Delicious Indian Food - Best Restaurant in the Food Court! I wish this business and its owners great success; thank you for consistently preparing high quality fare. Far better than your average food court options. Excellent vegetarian and vegan options. read more

Good Indian food. Especially for mall food. Nice spice levels on curries. Butter chicken was very good. Generous portions.

This is way better than I would ever expect from a mall food court. The dishes are spiced well and not blanked down to American tastes. Had some great chicken 65 and a veggie curry. It was great. Lots of flavors. And get the naan. They make it when you order it, it's amazing. read more

I typically never expect much from mall food and typically stick with the chains that I trust & can expect consistent quality from, but Pandya Nad was on point! The curries are flavorful, and they even have a house curry featuring some more traditional spices and flavors. We also had the butter chicken. My one criticism is that I wish the curry was a little less oily. read more

Service and food were great. Had the chicken curry, chicken tikka masala and mutter paneer with garlic naan. Great Indian food!

Who knew some of the best Indian food in raleigh would be in the food court?? Incredible.

Good chicken tikki and mango lassi that is my go to dish. I just wish they had more chicken selection like chicken korma besides that I like the food. read more

Delicious food! Probably in my top three for Indian takeout! I will always come back here when I'm back in town.

Food was ok, the chicken curry was good. The Chicken Tikka Masala had a strange flavor but was still ok. The Dosa i really didnt care for as it had a bitter flavor. The food was sitting out awhile and had a dry look to it. I may try again and update review if things improve next time. read more

This place is outstanding. Actually made fresh and is in the food court at the mall. They have a tandoori oven and everything is proper. I was skeptical of mall Indian food, but this place is legit. So good and must try!! read more

A welcome change of cuisine in the busy Crabtree Valley Mall! I wasn't seeking this place out, but noticed it out of the corner of my eye when I was looking for a quick bite to eat while out with my family. I was looking for something different -- something other than the usual fast food or Asian options -- and this certainly fit the bill! We had an order of Manchurian Chicken and a bowl with fried rice and 1 side (Palak Paneer, a dish with cheese cubes in a savory sauce made of mostly spinach). We added on a "parotta", which I figured was an alternative spelling of paratha (a thin type of flatbread). The chicken was SO GOOD, nice and spicy and definitely a great choice if your need to clear your sinuses! The fried rice was a spin on Asian fried rice but with an Indian twist. It was flavored so nicely and was worth the 50 cent upcharge from plain rice. The palak paneer could have been a bit more flavorful but the cheese cubes/paneer were good and plentiful. The absolute surprise was the parotta -- I wanted it to be filled with potato (aloo paratha that I'm used to), but it was plain, but absolutely flakey, tender and delicious! Make sure the parotta is fresh, though, because once it gets colder, it's chewy and not so good. One request if the owner reads this -- desserts, please? I saw the lassi and rose milk (yum, but I passed on it this time), but maybe add ras malai or gulab jamen to the menu? I wish this business much success and will definitely seek it out when I'm at Crabtree again. read more

Surprisingly good Indian dishes for a mall vendor. Butter chicken and Pepper chicken over white rice was very good. The butter nan bread was a nice touch too. I will come back soon! read more

Yummm!! New favorite spot in the food court! For the cost of a Big Mac meal you can get rice with three dishes. Everything we tried was delicious! Several kinds of Naan made fresh. We had to go back and buy more because it was that good. Kids went nuts over the Lassi. Great service too. This is goinF to be a regular stop for us. read more

Delicious and fresh food. Authentic and good service, come and grab a bite! We ordered and waited only 5 mins for fresh nan very good read more

I order from here quite a bit, the food is always on point. Definitely try the chettinad chicken if you like your food on the spicy side.

Hands down BEST Indian food in the food court and for the price, I'd argue one of the very best in Raleigh. Never thought a food court Indian restaurant would be good but WOW so good and prices have me coming back frequently. I've gone to the mall just to eat here. read more
