Triangle Biryani does something increasingly rare in the modern restaurant economy: it invites appetite, then rewards curiosity. What begins as a neighborhood Indian restaurant unfolds, course by course, into something richer, a place where abundance is not excess, but hospitality. The tandoori mixed grill arrives with even greater authority than first impressions suggest, a composition as thoughtful as it is generous. Lamb chops emerge smoky and deeply spiced, their char lending both structure and intensity. The shrimp, delicately singed by the tandoor, bring a quieter elegance, their tenderness sharpened by fire. Paneer, too often treated elsewhere as secondary, is here a revelation--absorbing smoke and seasoning in a way that gives it surprising depth. And the chicken, vividly marinated and flame-kissed at the edges, carries the layered warmth and complexity that marks a kitchen attentive to balance. Taken together, the platter feels less like a sampler than a full expression of the restaurant's range, a study in texture, heat, and restraint. Then there is the lamb rogan josh, that old standard too often dulled by caution elsewhere. Here it carries depth and resonance, its sauce layered rather than merely hot, aromatic rather than blunt. The fish curry moves in another register altogether--brighter, looser, edged with the sort of acidity and spice that keeps drawing you back for one more spoonful. And the goat biryani--perhaps the house at its most persuasive--is a study in fragrance and restraint. The rice speaks. The spices do not crowd one another. The goat carries the slow-cooked tenderness that makes biryani feel less like a dish than an event. But what lingers is not only the food. It is the choreography around it: the cooling sweetness of a mango lassi against rising heat, the sweet-sharp intrigue of banana chutney, the sense that condiments here are not afterthoughts but part of the composition. The room matters too. There is care in the design, warmth in the lighting, and something deeply reassuring in a staff that seems to understand service not as performance, but as welcome. Many restaurants offer variety as a strategy. Triangle Biryani offers it as culture. That is a more meaningful thing. You leave not merely full, but expanded. And that, in the end, is what memorable restaurants do. read more

Greeted by a nice man at entrance. Sat and waited for my togo order- I flipped through the menu while waiting -big -menu has a great variety. The dish I got was mostly rice with 2 pieces of chicken- leg and upper leg-the chicken was cooked too well- bones fell off in my rice - good flavor-very spicy - no bread to cut through spice. Place was neat and clean- plenty of seating and parking read more

This waiter will not steer you wrong! His name is Prabhu. We've visited twice so far and will return for his excellent recommendations. He tells us what he does recommend and also what he doesn't recommend...which is gold in my book! We will be back with our kids! I was particularly fond of the Arabian weekend-only dish with golden raisins mixed into the rice with currants and slow-cooked goat! read more

I visited Triangles Biryani a few months ago and it was known back then as Chutneys. They have rebranded a bit, remodeled and are now today's Triangles Biryani. Most of what you knew about Chutneys is very similar. The staff are the same and the menu options are pretty much what they were previously. Unfortunately, with all of the Indian food options in the area, this one fails to meet expectations. My first visit I ordered a chicken biryani. I was actually enjoying the biryani until about halfway through I found a bug in it. Although I found this to be extremely off-putting, I appreciated the staff's response to the incident. They were extremely apologetic and allowed me to pick a new item free of charge. I did not have to pay for the biryani either. I went for the egg hakka noodles, which I took home with me. There was no bug to be seen in the noodles, but they were extremely salty. I was touched by the restaurant's response to my issue, so I was willing to re-visit. Fast forward to this past weekend, and I can say that I will be going to other Indian establishments. After getting over the surprise of the re-brand, I ordered the probably all too familiar butter chicken + garlic naan combo. Service was not nearly as delightful as my first visit, everything seemed to take forever, from receiving the food to even just getting the check. The butter chicken was very disappointing overall. For the price I paid, the portion seemed pretty small and the curry was very oily. Not only that, the chicken by itself was bland and the curry didn't ooze any freshness to it. I couldn't pick out any tomatoes or spices, everything seemed a bit muddled together. The naan, although nice looking, was dry and felt more like a Chinese scallion pancake, based on the texture and the way it had so many layers. I really wish I could have enjoyed things here more, but three strikes, now they're out! read more

The cooker biryani was highly recommended to us by a friend and so we wanted to try it, which was something new and interesting. The place is big and beautiful, the decor is really nice compared to a lot of other Indian restaurant in the area. We were there on a Friday evening at 5.30 and placed order by 5.40. We ordered their appetizer platter, chicken kadhai, naan and chicken cooker pulav. Disappointment 1- My husband tried ordering some beer which we were denied saying they are still working on their bar licenses. I wish they had mentioned that on their website since it's a little misleading. Disappointment 2- the appetizer arrived after 45 minutes, they kept saying that the kitchen is busy but still 45 minutes for appetizers was too much. The staff were humble and apologetic about it though. Disappointment 3 - even after 45 minutes the grilled chicken and lamb were just a little warm as if they were kept out for sometime. Shrimp was hot and yummy though. Kadhai chicken and garlic naan tasted really good and we enjoyed it. The chicken cooker pulav was piping hot, chicken was soft and tender but the taste was pretty average. Overall our experience was as okay! May be next time we will try their mutton cooker biryani which is highly recommended but the management should really do something about wait times. read more

Visited Chutneys on a Friday evening, my family and I were the only ones in the restaurant. After being seated, we had water bottles placed on our table (they do not serve water in glasses). We were unknowingly charged for this bottled water - not a big charge, but something we didn't expect as it was just placed on our table with no mention of the charge. Food was great - we ordered the butter chicken, pakoras, samosa chaat, and saag paneer. The saag was some of the best I've had in a long time. The downside - it took almost 1.5 hours to have all of our food served to us, even though we were the only ones there for a while. If you're with friends/family that can keep you company, it's not too bad (with an appetizer on the table, though). I'd come back again, but probably for takeout rather than dining in. read more

The food was very vibrant! The spices and the love to the dish itself was very evident once you take your first bite. I had the Malabar Fish Curry tonight and it was beautiful! The fish was flaky and clean. It wasn't fishy tasting, which I appreciate a lot! The staff there, was FABULOUS! From the moment I walked in to the very moment I walked out, I was treated with nothing but respect and care. This place is easily becoming my to-go places to dine. Cannot wait to try more dishes! And please do yourself a favor and ask for Chai! It was to DIE for! Love this place read more

i had been to chutneys before to try their breakfast, which was not very good. however their dinner menu is much different and i wanted to give them another chance, and i'm glad i did! i ordered the szechuan paneer noodles and the saag chhole with tandoori roti. the noodles were excellent! i really liked them. if you have a mild palate though, i recommend specifying that because i said medium and it was still pretty spicy. the saag chhole was also really good, but there was soooo much oil on the dish that we had to drain out a bit before digging in. 2 stars for the breakfast, 4 for this meal - i averaged! but i would definitely order takeout from here again for dinner. read more

The goat biryani leaves a lot to be desired. Meat was tough and not at all tender. They did not even provide a side of raitha or shorba. The portion size on the Butter Chicken was extremely modest. The garlic butter naan was over cooked and had the consistency of a papad. Disappointed. I won't be back. read more

This place was called Chutneys so I am not sure if it's a change of ownership or just a name change. There's always a crowd here so we had take outs on Christmas Day. The food was OK. We ordered butter chicken, chicken tandoori and garlic naan. The tandoori was extremely oily and different than the ones we had at other places. read more

The food here was as authentic as I could possibly imagine. It was excellent. The service was very good. Food prep took about as long as you would expect for fresh made. The restaurant is also very tall on the inside which made for a more quiet experience. read more

Recently dined at this place serving North Indian and South Indian food along with bar. Tried their chettinad masala dosa, biryani, vada sambhar and veg korma with Parantha. Everything was decent but little spicy, so just request your server to make it less spicy. The chettinad dosa had so much chettinad spice that it over powered flavours of other ingredients. Portion size was really good. The service was well on time. The ambiance is a casual one. The menu has good snack options as well. Free parking available in the complex. read more

Amazing restaurant - had a large party here last week and it was a great experience. My favorite part was how all the food on the menu consistently tasted great. The chili chicken was my #1 favorite- perfect ratio of sweet, spicy and savory. The portion sizes were extremely satisfying. For my main course, I ordered the tandoori chicken which was a delight. I personally thought it was a little too wet (I thought tandoori chicken is usually on the drier side) but that didn't compromise the taste. The service here is top notch. I'd give them 10 stars if I could. The waiters and even the owner regularly checked up on us to make sure everything was to our satisfaction- very nice people as well. It was getting a little hot at one point and the owner offered to adjust the air conditioning right away. Big fan of the ambience as well. Good light, comfortable seating and overall cozy vibe. read more

I want to start with that this establishment does not seem to keep up certain negative reviews on google. I made a review earlier today only to find from my family member's google account that it was hidden. Because of this, I have come to Yelp to post my original review in hopes that it will be helpful to others that are interested in visiting this restaurant. From Google: Although the food was average, the service that my family and I just received gives this place barely one star in my books. We were sat down and then waited close to 20 minutes just to have our order taken. I honestly think it would have taken longer had we not waved someone down. It then takes them close to 1 hour to get everyone's food out, which didn't make sense to us because other families that sat down after us were getting their food sooner. When we asked when our food would come out, the man simply said "yeah". Like I said the food was average flavor-wise, but the portion size definitely doesn't justify the price. One small serving of jalapeño chicken (which is an appetizer) was $18 and did not come with rice. Maybe that is normal for other people, but it was a bit surprising for us. Overall, they knew that our family was not happy as they thankfully gave a 10% discount, however the service needs some work and I hope other people that visit this establishment don't receive the treatment that we received. read more

Visited the restaurant again today and wow they've changed their exterior, the decor, seating and overall ambience is so good now. Food and service seem to have gotten better too. Today we got the usual mango lassi for my son with plain utthappam. Uthappam was soft and portion size was really decent. He couldn't finish it so we helped him at the end. My husband got the chicken 65 with fried rice, it was really tasty, especially the fried rice. Chicken chukka was also very flavorful. I'm really satisfied with the portion to price ratio! I recommend this restaurant.... Also parking is never an issue and it's conveniently located read more

The food was good - but in a neighborhood where there are 2 Indian restaurants on every corner that's just not compelling. The Saag was the best of what we got, but they don't have either lamb or goat saag so we had to settle for chicken. And the service was rough as well - only one server for the whole dining room. Save yourself the trip. read more

I got the Mysore masala dosa. Dosa was good, sambar was good, both the chutneys I didn't like. Portion size of dal is better than most places. Overall, food was good, but probably would be even better eating there when it's fresh. read more

Wanted to try their buffet but the experience was overall very disappointing. First the good part 1. The staff was friendly and courteous. They were really trying to run a good operation but were unable to handle the rush period appropriately. So there were many pissed off customers. 2. There were some items in the buffet that tasted good. The briyanis (egg, chicken) and tandoori gobi were very good. Mutton briyani was not bad. The bad part 1. It first started with them quoting a very unreal waiting time of 15 mins while the actual wait was between 45 mins to 60 mins. They were basically quoting 15 mins to everyone, to keep people waiting but real wait time was way longer. It was obvious watching them while waiting that they were quoting wrong time on purpose to just keep people from going somewhere else. 2. Overall buffet Items were basic and the only sweet was kesari. For a $25 buffet would expect much more. 3. For a large part of the time items were not filled. When certain items are not there during key times, can't eat a proper meal. For example there we're literally 2 pieces of tandoori gobi when we started the buffet and I took one of them. It was tasty but it was never filled during our entire time at the buffet. When we were almost done they filled it with fried gobi. Totally different dish ! Only seafood item was tilapia fry which was basic. When I called them and asked about items, they mentioned Pompret masala fry, but we realized that was clearly wrong information when we actually went there. Will not try buffet here again, maybe stick to take out of specific dishes. read more

We wanted an early dinner before going for a party in Durham, NC, this place happened to be in the neighborhood. We ordered chilly fish and chettinad chicken, and both dishes were delicious! The service was great, very courteous staff and the ambience was just right - somewhere in between casual and fine dining. Definitely recommend this place ! read more

One of the best Indian breakfast places around the RTP area right now! Of the several places we have tried for a casual weekend breakfast, we've been to many hit or miss places; however really happy with the quality, service, quantity and pricing of this place.

I tried the Mysore masala dosa for weekend breakfast. I liked it. My son ordered their chocolate dosa. The filling inside the dosa is Nutella. he loved it and I don't disagree with the innovative fusion :) Looks like they opened very recently so the services/timings are not very organized yet. That should get better soon. read more

We tried this restaurant buffet and food is pathetic.Every item starting for live dosa to chicken appetizers,fish,Goat curry and count rice is full of greasy & oil and could be overnight food . They are charge 24.99 for this and I don't recommend this restaurant at all . Stay away and be safe read more

Good restaurant.. The food was freshly cooked and tasted well. I loved their masala lemonade soda (Jaljira powdered, sprite and lemonade)- it was on the website but I had to ask for it wasn't on the printed menu. I was surprised they said no to dosas or uttapam - they said those are breakfast items. It is a south indian restaurant, so i assumed these will be there all day menu and our visit was planned for those items specifically. Also they said they couldn't make madras coffee. But it nevertheless we stayed and enjoyed what they had. So took a star for limited menu for our visit. But overall a good place. While the furniture feels basic but it doesn't feel stuffy like the prior restaurant at that location felt. The owners seems like don't give the tips to waiters as the waiter said to pay the tip in cash. read more

Best food ever !!! If you are in Raleigh you have to visit CHUTNEYS !!!! Service is really good . And the best part is the weekend BUFFET's.

We had Mutton and Chicken biryani, fish fry, Some chicken curry, Garlic naan. We don't want to order again and everything is tasteless. But for sure, I don't order mutton biryani as pieces are very bad and not well cooked. They should make better curry and authentic we feel. Don't recommend read more

If all you want to taste is chilli in every single item you want to eat, this is the place to be. Bland taste in all the South Indian dishes we ordered. I recommend not going here, unless you want your stomach to burn like fire. read more

I've been to this place recently and tried quite a few of their dishes(been for buffet). The atmosphere is welcoming with good ambience. They have wide variety of dishes from Indian cuisine. Their appetizers (tried chicken and Veg, Mysore bonda,) and snacks were mouth watering with right blend of spices ,salt and hotness. Entrees tasted decent (Chk.Biryani,Paneer curries, chk.curry).Chk.Pulav was special for me. Noodles could have tasted better. Desserts were great. I very much liked their double ka meeta. To tap it off with beverage, I tied butter milk and was special (very soothing and refreshing on stomach especially in hot summers). I missed on their Dosas and other South Indian tiffin's which I'll be looking forward to in my next visit. Overall, a very good experience and is a must try in the area. read more

The food was delicious - my husband said it was the best Indian food he had ever eaten. The service was decent but I would definitely say they don't seem as concerned with service as having delicious food. The place was crazy crowded so maybe they were just running behind but they didn't bring plates or utensils. The table next to us got up and went and got their own plates. The air must have been broken because it was super hot inside. They turned in a rotating fan beside our table that kept blowing our napkins away, then the fan broke and fell over. Pretty comical. So good great everything else a little crazy. read more

I had an early morning doctor appointment so we ended up here right after that because this place is open for early breakfast on Friday, Saturday & Sundays. We got a to go from this place previously and this us the first time actually visiting the restaurant. This used to be Saffron restaurant earlier which now became Chutneys with new management. We ordered Mysore Masala Dosa and Pongal. 100 points to the mysore masala dosa and 50 points to the pongal because it was missing salt. Loved their chutneys and sambar. I can say I found my perfect dosa place in the triangle finally! Super crispy dosas did not disappoint at all! I was too hungry to click pictures, may be next time! read more

One of the best Dosa I've had in the triangle area. Husband and friends ordered biriyani and other dosa's and said everything tasted really good. Only thing that I didn't like was the spice level. All the biriyani's and appetizers were super spicy! Being someone that can't tolerate spicy food, I couldn't really eat them. Excellent service! read more

Ordered take out here multiple times in the last few weeks. The paneer tikka kabobs are excellent and their vegetable biryani was great too. The portion sizes are very good.

Tried this place twice now. First time (in February ) via doordash - the family breakfast option - 5* - 2 masala dosa, 4 huge idli, 4 vada plus delicious chutneys . Second time (in April) , pickup - Puri and potato masala (sooo good), Vada (ordered 4, got 3 - this time the vada has shrunk from our previous experience) , chutneys (tomato -still good, coconut - was watered down ) . Will definitely try them again and see if they're keeping up the initial excitement or dwindling like most Indian restaurants around here. read more

Came here quite a few times now and the food is so good! My go-to order is goat biryani. The goat is tender and the food is packed with flavor. I have also tried the goat curry and chicken 65. Both are packed with flavor and have the perfect balance of flavor. I have also ordered onion dosa from here and it's a perfect option for when you don't want a huge meal! I highly recommend the biryanis (chicken & goat)! Staff is also super friendly and helpful if you have any questions! read more
