Try FOI, you'll be happy you did! The food is fabulously fresh & assuredly authentic. (Confirmed by…read moretwo people: One who spent half-a-year in India; the other whom spent over a year in southeast Asia.) We've tried a variety of menu offerings & are looking forward to continue exploring & enjoying these blissful renderings of this cuisine. If you're new to this type of food I do recommend by opting for "mild" spice level to begin with. Then turn up the heat if you find something you like. Also starting with simpler items like buttered chicken, chicken fried rice, aloo gobi masala, garlic cheese naan, lamb rogan josh, samosas, shahi chicken korma or peas pulav might be good dishes to whet your palate. Again, start with "mild" spices then turn up the heat as you find dishes you prefer. This is an enticingly elevated win-win for small business expertise in general as well as Cary-area snackers & bon vivants. Bon appetit!

We're talking about a carryout or delivery only restaurant, it is not a dine-in place and thats fine by me. You can tell just by the aromas that the place scores in authenticism. Their menu is full if veg, non-veg snacks, entrees, both classic and Indo-Chinese On our first visit, we just ordered a few chicken dum biryanis and lamb rogan josh . Good marks. Decent basmati rice, tender chicken, fragrant, though I do not think this is cuisine of the northern region. Lamb rogan josh had that vibrant red color with a south Indian flair. I am so happy that they don't tone the spice levels down. FOI is a winner in my book. I have heard that other dishes are also worth trying. I have a feeling we won't be running to Schaumburg, Naperville, or Chicago quite as much.

Being new to Algonquin, I was looking for an Indian-based grocery store. Yelp showed this store so…read moreI decided to take a gander. While this isn't a full blown grocery store from Indian vegetables to hot-steaming chapathi, it had the basics. They had plenty of pantry staples, i.e. rice and flour, tea to necessary munchies. They did have an order out menu that I did not take part in. The store was located in a plaza of other stores so parking is shared. We went on a Sunday afternoon and the area was busy and we were lucky to find a spot to park. There was minimal staff and we waited for someone to show up to pay for our items. I'll be on the look out for other grocery stores but I'll def. be back here when I need tea leaves in a pinch for chai!

I ordered the 8 pcs Byrds Chicken bites with fries and my husband got the 5 pcs fingers with fries and a drink. The chicken was well cook. It was very crunchy yet the meat remained a bit juicy. The 24k sauce was my husband favorite but I found it spicy for my taste. I requested ranch sauce instead. I also asked if I could try the cheese sauce for my fries. We enjoyed the meal specially the fries. We took home a few chicken bites. The place was cleaned and comfortable. The soda machine was out of order and was served canned pop.

As a first timer it took us a little bit to get used to the complex spicy taste and spicy smells. I tried a beef and chicken dish, and it was really nice. The pieces of meat were super tender fresh, and they were cut into nice sized pieces (not oversized). The rice was tasty and loved the (? not sure) cucumber sauce/dip to bring down the heat a bit. The Naans were amazing; I prefer the cheesy ones the best! Defiantly would recommend and come back to try other dishes. The staff and owners were friendly nice, and loved the decor and pictures of mom ;) A very unique place for Racine to taste some true authentic food! A++

We stopped in about 30 minutes before they closed (7:30pm) but we were told it was okay to dine in. Ordered some plain naan (got garlic instead but it was delicious), chicken chaat bowl and chicken tikka masala. The tamarind type glaze on the chaat bowl was good - bit of a smoky BBQ flavor. The tikka was great - plenty of sauce for naan dipping. Fun music and cute decorations. You can tell they care about their food. They do have a corking fee if you'd like to bring your own adult beverages. Might bring a bottle of wine next time. Looking forward to my next visit here.

I tried the Paneer Taka Tak - which was very tasty and flavorful, the paneer was crumbled into smaller pieces, not the traditional cubes you see at a lot of Indian Restaurants which was pretty unique. The Malai Kofta was also tasty, the sauce portions are pretty big, rice is an additional cost. There is plenty of seating inside the restaurant and they have an extensive mocktail and alcoholic drink selection. The last item I tried was the Mango Lassi - very tasty.
