It has a well deserved high rating, so it is definitely worth searching for! I got the Tikka Masala with Shrimp ($18.99) and the flavor was absolutely perfect. Highly recommend!

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.

Food needs improvement. Not sure how the rating is so high…read more Boneless chicken tikka was awful - overcooked and like rubber. Random tikka curry with rice was provided with no protein which was very random. Momos were ok the chicken inside was not the best taste wise Aalo naan was fine.

We started with a potato samosa which came with three relishes - I really liked the pickled onions and my dining partner really liked the sweet and spicy brown sauce. Our mango masala and chicken korma were really good. And we loved the peshwari naan. We ordered a bottle of wine which they poured and then put on ice table side. The white tablecloths and simple dining room made this feel very elevated but not stuffy. What a lovely dinner!

We tried the Chicken 555, lamb tikka masala, chicken tikka masala, lamb saag, rice, and garlic naan. Each dish had its own flavor, and the naan was perfect for enjoying every bit of the sauces.

The service was excellent, parking was easy during the time we visited, and we felt the quality and portions were worth the price. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely return!

Easy enough to find in the back of a Garner business district. Not bleeding parking, but we did…read morejust fine. You can make reservations using the Yelp app, but we got there at 6pm Thursday and tables were open anyway. It filled up in about 90 minutes. Not a lot of pics in the huge menu. They have specials on certain days. After we ordered, we found out about a great deal for Thursdays. It was our fault we missed it because it was written RIGHT THERE on the menu. The lack of pics made it tough to order, though I'd had Indian many times. And the thick accents from the employees didn't help us to decide anything. Myself, I just stuck to curry. I picked mutton because I'd always wanted to try it. Yelp pics didn't help much either because few people write in descriptions what the photos are. Everything tasted amazing. They really know their food. Not to take anything away from the main dishes (I told you I loved them) but the standout for me were the fried pepper appetizers. A mix of just enough outside crunch and soft inside flavor. I'm no fan of chai tea, but I really liked theirs. The mutton was great, but I more prefer my meals without bones in them. Like with oxtails, which are routinely more skeleton than flesh, it's never a fine experience finding your bite to be a mouthful of bone. It's overrated, I promise you. The bill paying system is grossly inefficient. Tell them you want separate checks and nothing happens until the very end where everyone has to tell the server what they ordered, in a language they don't understand, mind you, and she charges everyone, one by one. It took like ten minutes to get through our party of five. It's a really bad method. Since it was my birthday, they played a YouTube video over the speakers. It was a generic "Happy Birthday To Whomever" type deal that worked fine, but they let it play for its whole fifteen minute runtime. It was cute, funny and ridiculous all at once. Wonderful food, nice servers, language barriers can be tough, and some questionable business practices still make this one a solid keeper. Just brace yourself.

I've lived…read morein major cities like New York and tried Indian food all over the country, but Royal Taj is hands down the best Indian food I've had in America. The flavors are always spot on and the food tastes truly authentic. It reminds me of home every time. I usually order the tandoori items, dosas, and their famous bullet naan. The curries are rich and flavorful and everything is made with so much care. While I'm not a vegetarian, my family is, and they always have a great experience here. The paneer tikka masala and malai kofta are their absolute favorites and I've enjoyed them too. Since it's located at the Days Inn, parking is never a problem. There's always plenty of space which makes visiting really easy. The staff and owners are incredibly warm and friendly. They make you feel welcome and genuinely care about your experience. If you're anywhere near Southern Pines, make sure to stop by. This place is truly a gem.

We got vanilla with sprinkles, golden cookie crunch, banana pudding, and butter pecan all on waffle cones for $23 - such a great value for the quality and portion.

So friendly, patient, and welcoming. We sat in and enjoyed it. The shop is nicely decorated, has ample seating for all size parties, and was exceptionally clean. You can just feel the real country mom-and-pop establishment love in there. This is Benson's hometown favorite for handcrafted ice cream for a reason. Do NOT leave Benson without stopping here - homemade, delicious with unique flavors. We'll definitely be back!
