The butter and garlic naan were very soft and tasty. I like how you can change your spice level to your liking. The staff were very sweet, attentive and helpful with our choices. The ambience is very clean, nicely decorated, and family oriented. Overall, great service and very delicious food. We will be returning to try other things on the menu.

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.

My wife and I just came back from this restaurant…read more Everything was really good. We started out with a Gobi Manchurian appetizer, which is cauliflower. We asked them to cool it down a little bit. Then Chicken tikka masala and fish korma. Both were very flavorful but had quite different spices which were not too hot so it allowed you to really taste the food. And an order of garlic naan. The portions were substantial and we brought home some of the chicken and fish dishes some rice and two pieces of naan. Best, Neal P.S. go for the food not the ambience

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.

Every dish I've tried has been consistently good, but the mango lime chicken deserves a special shoutout! What really keeps me coming back, though, is the value. Their lunch special (not pictured) is an absolute steal and one of the best deals around if you want high-quality Indian food without committing to a full dinner spread. Even my mother who never had Indian was a big fan of the lunch special! Service is friendly, flavors are reliable, and the menu delivers comfort with just enough polish. Whether you're new to Indian food or already a fan, Lime & Lemon is a go-to spot that never disappoints.

I had missed this on the menu, but my dosa with spiced powder inside did not come with potatoes or anything; it still was a nice flavor but not as substantive as I was hoping for the price. Thankfully, I did get a mango lime tofu dish that was bursting with flavor and also very filling, as well as a bread on the side that underwhelmed and didn't have much of the spiced potatoes as advertised (what do you have to do to get potatoes in your food here?). Overall, a nice location, but the food was a bit mixed in quality and not quite what I'd hoped for at the price. Particularly when one considers how many Indian restaurants there are around here. I could imagine them doing better on a different order; the other Lime and Lemon I went to was quite ncie.

This place has an extensive South Indian menu of dishes that are hard to find, which is to say I could have gotten something more creative than the standby of a masala dosa. The execution of the dosa, however, was excellent, with the sort of thin crispy texture I've never been able to duplicate at home, plus a mouthwatering potato mix and a robust chutney selection. I also had the option of a tea with saffron threads (and sugar) in it, which was an interesting one. An introduction to the South Indian food experience was part of college for me, and with this being on the main stretch in a college town, it can serve as a similar experience for many.

As soon as I walked in, I was greeted, and the gentleman explained the process & showed us where we can sit. You place your order on one of the kiosks. You can order from multiple places. The lady and gentleman were extremely helpful and patient with us and our questions. Let me tell you, there is plenty of food to choose from. The only meat I eat is turkey and seafood, so there's usually not a lot that I can order when I go places. But, there are so many turkey options. I was in heaven! I ordered the turkey bbq plate with greens (with turkey) and potato salad from Wings & Turkey BBQ. It came with a roll and some coleslaw, as well. It was very good. I demolished everything (except the potato salad. The flavor was great, but I think there were onions in it. So, it was just a texture preference.) My mom ordered a burger from Dave's Burgers. She said it was delicious. The rest of the family ordered different types of wings. They were all very satisfied with their food. Before we left, we ordered the banana pudding from Humble Catering. It was so good!! Excellent service and delicious food! Sorry I didn't get many pictures. We were hungry

Everything about this locale is intentional: the lighting, the decor, the colors... it's truly the perfect date spot. I'd like to recognize Sam Sanchez at the bar, who guided me from cocktail to entree and beyond for my eventual second visit while in Raleigh. He listened closely to my taste preferences, and his recommendations were flawless (although I can't imagine ANYTHING on the menu isn't delightful). On my first visit I started with the Byadgi Chili Shrimp and then feasted on the Lamb Sheekh Kebab. The shrimp texture was just right and the coconut sauce is a perfect compliment. The lamb kebab comes in two separate pieces; one is wrapped in naan and the other is naked. The chili beurre blanc sauce has a kick that I really enjoyed! And my favorite: Dal-e Tamasha, 24 hours slow cooked black lentil. My mouth is watering even as I think about it. You might think something as humble as lentils could not make one's heart race... but you would be wrong. My second visit saw me reunited with my dear Dal-e Tamasha plate and what became the pinnacle of my visit to Raleigh: MUSHROOM "MADE IN HEAVEN" dish. It is difficult to describe how AMAZING every bite is. There is a complexity of flavors that somehow blend AND standout. Each nibble of the dumpling and a bit of risotto along a sip of the "umami bomb" is an experience. I am actually very glad I was sitting on the patio dining solo because I was able to give my full attention to this experience. To wrap it all up, I was fortunate enough to try the pink guave lemon lime and tahin sorbet... don't snooze on it, it's a must try! A big shout out to the Tamasha team, owner Mike (thank you for checking on me and chatting up spices and culture!), and Chef Chhatwani for sharing your passion with the world. I can't WAIT to return to Raleigh and visit again.

Tamasha definitely has a unique spin on their Indian cuisines, which correlates with the prices of their dishes. I'd say if you're trying to impress a date or wanting to splurge a bit, Tamasha is definitely your go-to restaurant for dinner**! I don't believe they're open for lunch. While it is pricey here, the ambiance of the restaurant is top notch, so you're definitely paying for an experience! The person at the front desk was super kind and helped me look into which dishes were fine for takeout (there are some items that wouldn't fair well eaten later or packed in a to-go container). The only dish I found myself liking the most would be their tamasha fried chicken. It was breaded nicely and had a refreshing yogurt based dip. The rest of the dishes, such as the tandoori mushroom and butter chicken, and crab moilee (not pictured), were okay. I didn't hate it or like it, but it just didn't pop out in flavor as Indian cuisine for me. The four cheese truffle kulcha (not pictured) was a nice carb appetizer! I was quite surprised at how small the tandoori mushroom dish was. It was just one ravioli cut in half! Still, I guess quality over quantity! I also never figured out which dish the white noodles were supposed to be paired with... Also, if you do takeout, they have a lovely seating area with AC (thank goodness) for folks to sit in. It was nice waiting there for my order to be complete! Overall, it was a 3-3.5 star takeout experience for me.

It was not busy on a Sunday and I'm guess it's geared towards people that work in the area on weekdays. Walking to the bathroom and bypassing the vacant security desk for the building was a strange experience. The menu is South Indian; there were some differences in what was online and what I found on the printed menu, but it was a wide and interesting selection with abundant options for special dietary needs. I ordered a dosa and an appetizer, which were splendidly presented on banana leaves. I asked for my Indo-Chinese paneer extra spicy, and they seemed a bit skeptical, but it did deliver a heck of a spice kick and an abundance of leafy tropical flavor (full curry leaves are common in this cuisine). The dosa was large, extra thin, quite salty, and satisfying. A chai was small and unsweetened. I didn't get quite the bustling atmosphere that their other location (in Cary) possessed and the menu for some reason did not have the kottu paratha I wanted to try, but I would definitely recommend anyone seeking some South Indian food to come here.
