There are about eight 4-person tables along narrow hallways, so might need to wait during rush hours. The waitress checked on us after few minutes after we have a chance to taste the dishes to make sure we are ok with the spicy level. We ordered the Tandoori Platter, butter Chicken and samosas for appetizer. The samosas got some kicks to it, but it was tasty. The tandoori chicken and the lamb are the best on the platter. Butter chicken was a little greasy, but still good. Will come back again and order full tandoori chicken.

Some of the popular Indian foods are apparently breakfast items in their native country, but in the…read moreU.S. most Indian restaurants are open for lunch and dinner only. I was pleased to discover this place open reasonably early. Their breakfast special offered a rounded selection, including a masala dosa, idli, and vada, along with what they said was a choice of upma, pongal, or both. And why not choose both? For the uninitiated, despite all the fancy names these dishes are mostly combinations of lentils and rice prepared in various ways, from a fried donut to a thin savory crepe to a steamed cake to a porridge (upma is the only exception, being a wheat-based porridge). The renditions here were splendid. They advertise using peanut oil for flavor, and it definitely added a richness to some of these dishes. Their chutneys hit hard, and a chai delivered a nice mild counterpoint. Everything had a fresh, complex set of flavors. I note that I got a more conventional breakfast the day before just down the road that included a crepe and a tea-based drink in slightly more upscale surroundings. And don't get me wrong, I liked that breakfast. But it was nothing compared to the fantastic complexity of flavors and textures that I ended up with here. South Indian breakfast is where it's at.

However, their medium spicy is really spicy for some family members who can tolerate high spice - just an fyi. I took a star off because my sister asked for no spiciness and no cilantro in her chicken tika masala, but there was still cilantro in it and it was still quite spicy for her even though she told the waitress no spicy. She did not say anything as it took quite a while to come out. I think maybe they might not have hired all the people they need to yet, so this is understandable. However, on the whole, it was delicious. I loved all the chutneys and fun things you can try they included with the dosa and the chicken thaili.

(If it's any relation the parking in the whole plaza was easy- not something usual for this time of night). However, they had anywhere from 6-10 pickup orders while I was there. The service was quick to bring me water and made my mock Pina colada right away. I ordered one of the cauliflower appetizers, cheese naan, and goat tikka masala (not on the menu, but I asked the waiter what his favorite sauce was and told him I wanted goat. This was his recommendation. It tasted so delicious and the portions were huge. I took home what I would have normally received from a to-go order from other restaurants. Everything was clean and well maintained. If I could give 4.5 stars, I would but because of how delicious it was, I'll round up. My only very small complaint was that they had an awesome glossary of terms, but were still lacking several descriptors. Pictures would have been super helpful! Overall- I'll be back.

Every time we visit Nukkad we enjoy the ambience , the cleanliness and great service…read more The Chicken Angare was absolutely delicious. The spices were perfectly balanced including saltiness. The chicken was prepared fresh (not dry and stringy) with succulent portions. We have experienced in other restaurants where they will fry the already cooked tandoori chicken, which warms it but makes it stringy, oily and disgusting. With myriads of dishes being cooked, the air circulating in the restaurant is great and there is no smell of strong Indian foods that will make you feel suffocated. The volume of music in the restaurant is soft comfortable for carrying out conversation. Nukkad cooks make every item fresh. The process from raw material, kitchen to customers table is streamlined. The cooks, servers and not the least, owners are sincere to this food industry. They are very pleasant. Even the prices have not skyrocketed. Keep up the good work. We will visit you again.

Biryani? More like Mango Masala Mystery…read more Walked into Indian Bawarchi in Apex expecting biryani... walked out questioning my life choices. Ordered the boneless chicken biryani--was it Hyderabadi? North Indian? Nope. It was something entirely new: Sour Surprise Biryani, featuring what felt like a handful of amchur (dried mango powder) and a complete lack of actual biryani flavor. I'm convinced someone in the kitchen confused the spice rack with the candy shelf. Tandoori appetizer? Sizzling, yes. Memorable? Meh. Garlic naan was decent--if only naan could carry the whole meal on its doughy shoulders. Service: 3/5 Two waiters, two tables, one manager--sounds promising, right? Not really. We had to remind them we ordered biryani (you know, the main dish). "Oh, you ordered biryani?" Yes, my guy. That's kind of the whole point. Also had to clear our own table like it was a self-service picnic. Ambience: 4/5 Nice space, clean, decent vibe. Sadly, ambience doesn't come with a side of flavor. Total bill: $50 for a biryani, tandoori chicken, naan, and lime soda. Felt more like a fine-dine price for a college cafeteria meal. Verdict: Come for the naan, stay for... well, maybe just the naan. Biryani fans, enter at your own risk.

My favorites were the Dal Bukhara and Butter Chicken. I appreciated the clear labeling at the buffet, I always knew exactly what I was putting on my plate. Nothing was overly spicy, but the seasoning and flavor on every dish were great. I also loved that they bring fresh naan to your table instead of letting it sit out at the buffet (where it can get stale or overcooked). The lunch buffet was about $22 per person, pre-tip, on a Sunday. Well worth the price! Our server was fantastic. He even pointed out that they have separate street food dishes included with the buffet (not just what's on the main line). The Kurkuri Aloo Tikki Chaat (potato cake) was delicious! I wish I'd tried their lunch buffet sooner. It's excellent, and I live so close!

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.

Lots of seating inside and few chairs outside for dine in . Wasn't crowded when we went on a Friday afternoon. Let's come to the food : overall we felt that the food was very average . A South Indian food is mainly good when the Sambar and chutneys are good. Chutney was very very very average . Coconut smelled wierd. I asked them if they had tomato or any other spicy chutney and they didn't have it .. really ? A South Indian hotel without spicy chutney ?? Sambar also was average . Less salt .. dosa was good .. my son liked it . Uthappa was ok.. it was huge and couldn't even eat of it because the Sambar/chutney combo wasn't good . Thayir vadaj was cold .
