Delicious Indian food in Wake Forest!…read more Super kind staff and quick service. Our favorites here are the chicken Korma, the paneer palak, and the garlic naan. They do a 1-10 spice level which I love. I think a 5 has a good building heat and there are plenty of options to go hotter or more mild from there. Great for takeout or in person.

Flying solo, I came in alone for a late-night dinner. I arrived about 25 minutes before they…read moreclosed, and truth be told, had they told me the kitchen was closed and they were no longer taking orders, I would have completely accepted that. Instead, a very kind man greeted me and escorted me to a table. The restaurant is very bright inside and a little industrial, but decorated in standard well-worn Indian fare. Their menu is filled with familiar favorites and a couple surprise stand-outs like momo and some Afghani dishes. And to my very pleasant surprise, they offer goat as an option in several dishes. I love goat meat, and can't get it very often, since hardly anyone offers it. So I delighted ordered goat curry, 7 on the spicy scale, and a side of raita, in case the kitchen has a sense of humor. As it turns out, I thought the 7 was fairly med-mild, but my spice level in near super-human. But the kind waitress brought me "Spicy Sauce@ which added a delightful kick!! The curry came with rice and a nice papadaam/chutney set-up. And portions were large enough that I took half home and enjoyed it the next day (when it was even better!!). So definitely an A+ experience. Highly recommended!! Will definitely be back!!!

I booked a reservation here for my birthday dinner. Apparently there was also an Indian festival in…read morethe area so we couldn't get a booth. 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.

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.

Mains Entree: The Lamb Shank was incredibly tender (fell right off the bone!), and the Butter Chicken tender morsels was tender. Dessert: Don't skip the Mango Lassi Tiramisu--a brilliant, refreshing fusion. High-quality food with a touch of theatrical flair. We also got complimentary two scoops of ice cream! We will definitely be back!

What I appreciated the most was that everything was reminiscent of their original dishes, but with innovative and delicious twists- fusion perfection. We got the: - Four Cheese Truffle Kulcha (sharp cheddar, brie, asiago, chilli, black truffle dust, truffle butter, shishito pepper): Love a good bread moment- this one was cheesy, savory, and buttery; appreciated the contrast from the shishito. Added the roasted garlic and chilli dip upon the servor's rec for an extra cost; it was good, but not necessary- I'd probably skip this next time. - Chaat Mate (purple sweet potato & crunchy kale chaat, crispy okra & tuk aloo chat): Loved this! Such cool takes on chaat, which happens to be one of my favorite Indian dishes. Really appreciated all the elements, such good diversity of flavors and textures- crispy, sweet, tangy, earthy. - Nadru Malai Kofta (lotus stem dumplings, nut based sauce, plain butter naan or steam rice): First off, such a pretty dish! The gravy was rich and creamy; the dumplings were so interesting (strong spice essence). - Nigellaseeds Chilly Olive Naan: Got this because I thought the ingredients for this naan sounded unique- it was decent naan, but nothing mind blowing, would probably skip next time. - North Meets South (elaneer payasam, ghewar, rose, hibiscus, coconut jelly, young coconut): Maybe my favorite part of the whole meal! Loved every aspect of this dessert, which seemed so separate but all came together beautifully. Not too sweet, which was great too. I've never had anything like this before. Service was great. We mentioned to our server that we were rushing to catch a show in an hour, and he was so amenable! Ambiance is really nice, definitely one of the prettiest restaurants around. There's free valet parking in the adjacent deck. 10/10 would recommend!

Orlando took great care of us, made thoughtful recommendations throughout the meal, and struck balance of being attentive without hovering. The food was outstanding. I especially loved the snapper entrée, and both the shrimp and pork belly appetizers were excellent. The biggest surprise, though, was the paneer. Instead of the firm texture you typically expect, it had an incredibly rich, almost ricotta-like quality that was a refreshing take on a staple. We finished with two desserts (I wish I could remember their names), and both were fantastic. Tamasha took familiar Indian flavors and present them in fresh and elevated way. I was really impressed.

Lime & Lemon is a popular Indian restaurant that serves almost everything that you would want…read more Although we ordered takeout, I could tell that the dining area was rather large and their service seemed to be on top especially considering we had a very large group order. It seemed quiet inside on the night that we picked up food, but it was also storming. I personally got the Chicken Tikka Masala, Vegetable Samosas, and Garlic Naan. The Chicken Tikka Masala was really good! It had a lot of creamy sauce, the chicken was tender, and the spice level (medium) was great. I do wish it had a bit more seasoning? But still solid, especially when paired with the gigantic Garlic Naan, which also needed more of a garlicky flavor. The Vegetable Samosas were typical, but I still enjoyed them greatly. My friends got the Chicken 65 and Gobi Manchurian and they were both delicious! While I felt that the Chicken 65 was a bit drier than what I was used to, I loved the Gobi Manchurian! It had the right amount of seasoning, sauce, and spice. Overall, I would probably rate this spot a 4.5/5 stars. Really good food and decent sized portions. I definitely want to dine in next time to experience everything to the max.
