There seemed to be some discord in the kitchen as well, and it just didn't give off the greatest vibe. I hope they were just having an off day in that sense, because the food was basically what I was hoping for. I tried some of their signature items, with a rich dal being complimented by an impressively thin and soft bread. I just find ultra-thin flatbread to be delightful. Ordering a sizzler based on yogurt-coated soy chunks was an intriguing option. While I didn't opt for the vegan items on this visit, they had a decent selection marked. The Indian cuisine is plentiful in this area, and this place offered dishes that were different and better than the baseline I would have gotten elsewhere.

The chicken was super dry, it came with some lettuce & the lettuce was limp. We came in around 8:15 and the restaurant closed at 9. At around 9 we heard them closing which was quite loud, I was asked if I wanted a box before I was done eating and when paying the server asked me for my card on the spot and had to let me know they were closing (which we could see). Also some of the tables were dirty when we walked in. This place needs improvement, I'm not sure why they have such high ratings -- I've worked as a server & in the food service industry for years also.

The atmosphere was lively with the number of people dining inside. Staff were very friendly and attentive. The food took a while to come out, but it was worth it. My friends and I got the Chicken Tikka Masala, Gobi Manchurian, Vegetable Samosa, Mango Lassi, and Garlic Naan. The Vegetable Samosa was good, but nothing mind-blowing. They skimped out on the Gobi Manchurian, which was so crispy and well-seasoned. Mango Lassi was solid, slightly tart compared to others I have had before. I loved the Chicken Tikka Masala! So much spice and sauce in the bowl. It also tasted great with the Garlic Naan. This is a fantastic restaurant with delicious food. I should try Nepali food instead of reverting to Indian food, but it was too tasty to deny. I recommend everyone comes here for lovely South Asian food.

We came on a Friday evening and had about a 20-minute wait, but it was absolutely worth it once we were seated. Service stood out right away. Our waiter checked on us regularly and made sure our water glasses were always full, which is a small thing but goes a long way during a busy night. We started with ginger tea, which was warm, fragrant, and a great way to kick off the meal. For food, we ordered two appetizers, along with the chicken korma and butter chicken, and everything was phenomenal. The flavors were rich and comforting. One detail I appreciated was that the rice came in individual servings instead of one large shared bowl, which made it easier for everyone at the table. Great food, attentive service, and worth the wait, we'll definitely be back!

Our favorite is the Lucknow Biryani, which is lighter and more aromatic than a Hyderabadi Biryani.

The server for buffet over the weekend brought me a placemat that was dirty from plates collected…read morefrom a previous patron's table. I set that aside and tried to avoid the moisture on the napkin my silverware was wrapped in. When I went to get food, most of it was covered which I guess is good, but to get to the food, it was awkward balancing the covers or having to place them on another covered tray to be able to serve myself. When I compare the food and environment here to other places that offer Indian cuisine buffets, for the $20 with tax I'd rather go to Kabab and Curry not too far from here on Hillsborough St. There is more food available, it is fresher, the environment overall seems more hygienic and well-organized, and the food has better flavor and seems less greasy at Kabab and Curry. The only difference is having to pay for parking or parking a bit further away for a free spot--but for what you pay at Curry Club and they only offer buffet over the weekend, Kabab and Curry is better and offers more value and is where I will probably go from now on. The only way Curry Club's buffet would make sense is if they brought the price down. I'd put their food quality about on par with China Queen's weekday Chinese buffet, but China Queen has the better sense to charge less for the quality and experience they offer their customers. If you're already in the plaza and it's convenient to drop in over the weekend, give Curry Club a try, but if you can make it a little further north, Kabab and Curry is the better place. It is worth noting that Curry Club has interesting theme days and specials that may offer more value and culinary enjoyment than what I was able to experience while I was there including weekend breakfast combos, and weeknight dosa, biryani, and rice deals. They also have momos and spring rolls that look delicious (though I can't vouch yet). They stock authentic items like frozen Shahi Kulfi (not included in the buffet), and beverages like Delhi Darling, Thumsup, and Limca. If I go back, it'll be to sample dosas at Dosa Night or see what I think about the momos and spring rolls. I'll update when and if I find out and get to sample more.

Beware of the high yelp rating!…read more We were starving and excited to try this place after a couple hour hike at Umstead yesterday. We LOVE northern Indian and Nepalese food and were lured by the high yelp rating. I'll start with the good. The server was kind and efficient. The chili chicken momo were delicious. The rice and garlic naan were average to good as well. However, our butter chicken and our chicken korma tasted like nothing. It was very strange. There was texture and you could kind of taste the chicken itself but the sauces tasted like nothing. You could almost only tell the two apart based on color and texture. We ordered one of them medium spice and one mild. Even the medium spiced dish had zero flavor. I kind of thought to myself that something was off when the colors looked bright but we couldn't taste a thing. I kept thinking maybe the flavor or heat will build. It never did. Nevertheless we ate everything bc we were starving, but we were definitely disappointed in the lack of flavor. Not long after we left, our stomachs were kind of on edge but we figured this was simply from eating too much. This morning we both woke up ILL. Even though we discussed coming back for the chili momo only in the future, we have since changed our tune. I love locally-owned businesses and hate to leave a bad review but we truly did not have a 4+ star experience here. We won't be back.

The chicken 65 was the standout, huge portion, packed with flavor, and incredibly satisfying. I was extremely happy with the amount of food.

My takeout order took about 15 minutes longer than the estimated pickup time, which was a bit frustrating. That delay is the reason for docking a star.
