Curry House is an excellent spot for delicious savory dishes. The staff is very attentive. The…read morespace is pretty quiet, they have TVs on but the sound doesn't distract from the meal or interactions with your dining companions. We love the butter chicken, peshwari + garlic naan and especially the chicken korma! There's really nothing on the menu that isn't absolutely perfect. If you're looking for Indian food in the Wake Forest area, this is an ideal spot to satisfy that craving.

I ordered delivery for a house half full of vegetarians and half full of meat eaters. The stress…read moreand upset pulling out a bag full of food, all of which looked either the same or similar and none of it was labled... At least write the initials of the dishes on the lids! Even the naan, some of which had potatoes in it, was not labeled, so we had to handle all of it to figure out what was what. Immediate loss of a star. The food itself was good! (Not great) All of it, even though we marked everything as Mild, was very spicy. (They labeled everything on the menu as 1-10 but don't list if 1 is the most spicy or 10. I would guess 10, but Mild was by the 10 choice? I will post a picture.) So if you are sensitive to spice, this might not be the place for you. I ordered the potato Nana and the Baingan Bhartha. I liked both. I did not realize the Baingan was more soup then a dish. (Especially when you don't eat rice.) The Aloo Kauli looked like a stew and I was told it was good but had a strange taste. When I asked about the Dry Chili Chicken, I was told it was just spicy and filling. I asked if it was good or have a certain flavor? And she described it as just spicy. (She ordered mild, too.) The others were similar. I am not sure we will order from here again. Especially for a group. But if you like spicy, this might be the place foe you!

I was not in a hurry but they could stand to hire some help. Their menu included a chole bhature, and they did a very credible rendition. Even at a medium spice level, it hit noticeably. More importantly, my fried bread and chickpeas came with pickled sides that made for a great flavor contrast in addition to the zingy herbal chickpea curry. I experienced no disappointment in what I ordered. Their menu includes markings for vegan and gf concerns, and their open kitchen offers to customize orders as needed. I also received an excellent papadum set to start with no fewer than six accompaniments. I was a bit surprised their menu didn't include anything in the way of a light soup or salad, mostly heavy comfort food. Having said that, I think they're doing a solid job and will likely be busy when the university is in season.

Searching for a great Indian restaurant in Rocky Mount? Look no further. Lazeez is here. Located at…read moredowntown, this restaurant offers great food and service. We walked in the evening. The host was on the phone taking orders so we had to wait for a few minutes before we got seated. The restaurant has a cozy yet classy feel. Mango lassi was great. Sweet and rich. Aaam panna was refreshing. Vegetable platter was a good one to sample a lot of the appetizers. It had 2 pieces of the following vegetable samosa, spring roll, paneer pakora, vegetable pakora, and gobhi pakora. The lamb biryani was delicious. Service was awesome and everyone was warm. We were well taken care of. Highly recommend.

I'm not sure what was going on outside the restaurant, but there was a very unpleasant odor. Had we not already placed our order, I might have gotten right back in the car. Fortunately, the smell didn't carry inside. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, with lovely blue hues and modern accents that create a welcoming atmosphere. Our food was hot and ready at the promised time. I liked the menu setup, which allows you to choose your protein or vegetables, sauce, and preferred spice level. The mild Tikka Masala with tilapia was excellent. The mild Chicken Saag was a bit spicier than expected, and the spinach is puréed more thoroughly than at some restaurants where the greens remain more distinct. That said, it was very flavorful, and the chicken was exceptionally moist. The Lachha Parantha, described as a flaky bread, was a little overdone and chewy. On the other hand, the kheer (rice pudding) was rich, flavorful, and pleasantly thick. Overall, Lazeez serves fantastic Indian food in Rocky Mount. Despite a couple of minor issues, we'd happily order from them again.

Walking into the restaurant it'll feel bright, airy, and welcoming. To be seated we checked in with the host and were seated quickly. During the week Masala House runs a lunch special from 11 am - 2:30 pm (Monday - Friday) which includes an entree, vegetable soup, naan, rice, and dessert. I ordered the chicken tikka masala and my partner ordered the butter chicken. I definitely prefer the butter chicken as chicken thigh meat was used vs. chicken breast in the chicken tikka masala. Both dishes were excellent and had great flavor. The rice and naan being included was also a nice touch. The vegetable soup at the beginning of the meal was also hot when it arrived and full of flavor. For dessert I ordered the rice pudding which was excellent and not too sweet. If I'm in the north Raleigh area again I'll definitely be stopping by Masala House for lunch.

As more non-Indian people came in, the sat them directly next to us in a very cramped corner. So about 2/3s of the restaurant remained empty. In the about hour or so that we were there, not a single person came from the festival, so it was just a weird experience. The food was ok. I was a little surprised by how average it was with the reviews the restaurant has. The service wasn't particularly great either. I usually love naan but the garlic naan we had was pretty hard and dry. One thing that was really nice is that the restaurant gave my whole family a desert for my birthday, which is honestly what bumped my experience up from 2 to 3 stars.

My husband and I recently visited Curry Palace for the first time--and it was also my very first…read moreexperience at an Indian restaurant. We were pleasantly surprised! Everyone was super friendly from the hostess, waitervl etc. I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala at spice level 4, and it was absolutely delicious. The spice level was perfect for me--definitely had some heat without being overwhelming. My husband ordered the House Special Chicken Biryani, which included both lamb and chicken, and he really enjoyed it. I'd say his dish was closer to a spicej that's level 3. Before our meal, we were served complimentary crackers and chutney, which were fantastic and a great introduction to the flavors we would enjoy throughout dinner. One thing that really stood out was the portion size. The servings were enormous! These days, with grocery and gas prices being what they are, it's refreshing to find a restaurant that gives you so much food for your money. We both had plenty left over to take home. Great food, generous portions, and a wonderful first Indian food experience. We'll definitely be back!

We were greeted and seated immediately upon entering and I was instantly in love with the decor and the friendliness of both the host and server. We began with water to drink, me skipping a mango lassi because I had decided I would have a dessert today since it had been awhile. My friend was a newbie to Indian food so I ordered for us and kept it simple. Palak Paneer and Chicken Mango Jalfreezie, with garlic naan. The papadoms and sauce were tasty and always a nice nibble while we wait for our dishes. Everything arrived hot and fresh and nicely presented. We were advised if we needed more rice to just ask. This is when the disappointment hit for me. While both dishes were good food, cooked well and nicely presented, the true Indian flavors were missing. I also did not detect mango in the dish that should have been flooded with that flavor. I do order my dishes mild, but I always do, and while that does impact the heat which I cannot tolerate, it has never once impacted the full flavor of all the spices. Until here. So sad, as someone who almost craves those flavors and had been looking forward to them all day. I've gone back and forth as to whether to give three or four stars, because everything really was nice but if I go to an Indian restaurant I really am hoping for Indian flavor. It was missing. If I could give 3.5 I would. My big question is always, would I return? I will not. I live in High Point and will continue to dine at the numerous Indian spots near home.

May be free lots close by as well but I was fortunate not to have to look very hard. There were three young men waiting at the front to assist. We were seated quickly. We got water and I ordered a Kingfisher to start my weekend early LOL. (Unfortunately they did not have it on draft, only in bottles, but it was still really good beer!) They brought us out some (I think) roti (crispy thin flat bread) with three different dipping sauces. A cilantro mint, a charred pepper, and a brown sauce. All pretty good. I ordered the Mulligatawny Soup and the Veggie Platter while my friend got the Chicken Tikka with a garden salad. The soup was just okay. It seemed to be very lacking in flavor at the restaurant. I took the rest of it home and ate it a couple of days later and it was much tastier. I guess it just need time for all the flavors to meld, I don't know. But the veggie platter was phenomenal. My favorites were the samosas (of course!) and the veg pakora. I would highly recommend those. My friend said her chicken tikka was just mid. Her garden salad was big and looked fresh and delicious. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the service either. The waiters constantly refilled our waters and the wait time was not long. They didn't even rush us when we spent an hour and a half at the table. The only reason this is a four and not a five is that there are other Indian restaurants close in this area that I enjoy the food more.
