This was a delightful find. We are visiting town and a friend brought us here. The menu was clearly marked with gluten free dishes which is important to me. We ordered: Saag chicken Chicken Tikka Masala Bhindi masala (okra) Lamb biryani And 2 garlic naans-- which were not gluten free but I was the only one who couldn't eat the naan. Rice came with the dishes. And so did Raita (yogurt sauce). The food came within about 10 minutes. It was delicious. Morris was our server-- he was very kind and helpful and attentive to our needs. I highly recommend this place. We asked for saamf (an after meal digestive) at the end and they brought it to our table. read more

My first time to try idli and Mysore masala dosa. The idli was soft, fluffy, and fresh. It had that perfect light texture. Paired with the coconut chutney and sambar, it felt comforting and authentic without being overly heavy. The chutneys tasted fresh and well-balanced, and the sambar had a nice depth of flavor. The Mysore masala dosa was the standout for me. The dosa itself was beautifully crisp on the outside while still slightly soft inside, and the spicy red chutney spread added a great kick without overpowering everything else. The potato filling was well-seasoned, not too oily, and had just the right amount of spice. Every bite had a satisfying crunch followed by warm, savory flavors. Overall, everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. If you're craving South Indian food, this spot definitely delivers--especially for dosa lovers. I'll definitely be back to try more from their menu. The place is nice and looks classy. Service was good and the servers were patient and welcoming for us first timers when we arrived at almost closing time. read more

I continue to be amazed how good the food is here. This is my third visit here (we live 2 1/2 hours away) and it continues to impress! I love, love, love Indian food. So I have tried a lot. Lime and Lemon continues to be the very best hands down. The food is super. The staff is also very nice and considerate (they really go out of their way to be kind). If I could eat here multiple times a week I would! You will never be disappointed. And thank you Lemon and Lime for a great experience every time! read more

My friends and I tried Lime and Lemon Durham this past week. I've had dishes from this local Triangle chain before but never have visited the Durham location. I ordered an egg curry with rice, while my friends ordered their own dishes. We shared a paneer kulcha- I thought that it wasn't too salty and was packed full of flavor. I'll be back to this location for some more curries! I liked that the portions were large and had leftovers for the next day at work. read more

Loved the food, every plate was delicious! Quantity is significantly better than any other local restaurant !!! Mysore masala is so good! Biryani is awesome too! read more

Ok guys. This is our regular date night place... Anon treats us like family and knows our order. Not only do we feel welcomed every time, but all the wait staff know we prefer the lemon yellow booths over the table chair combos. A few of our favorites: avocado dosa, sag paneer, garlic naan, Gobi 65 and dry chicken tikka. Side sauces are fresh and tasty. Cocktails vary with the seasons and top off the meal. Solid choice! read more

Lime & Lemon Indian Grill & Bar - Durham, NC (Weekend Buffet Review) Food: 6/5 | Ambience: 5/5 | Hospitality: 5/5 | Price: 6/5 We drive all the way from Garner to Durham almost every weekend just for the buffet at Lime & Lemon -- and trust me, it has become a ritual we truly look forward to. We have never been disappointed even once. What makes this place special is that their buffet menu is never static -- every single visit brings something new and exciting, whether it's a starter, entrée, dessert, or drink. There is always a surprise element, and I genuinely look forward to discovering what new item will win my heart that day. Let's talk variety -- because they deliver beyond expectations: At least 2 vegetarian and 2 non-vegetarian starters 4 flavorful curries 2 rice varieties 2-4 dessert options, plus a welcome drink and tea Even more adds-on during festival/holiday specials For anyone wondering about the taste -- it is exceptional. Truly unmatched in the RTP area. I've been to many Indian lunch buffets around here, but nothing comes close when considering taste, quality, and price together. You will always find at least one dish that hits your sweet spot and leaves you feeling fully satisfied. And speaking of hospitality -- Anand deserves a special mention. He is our guy every single time we visit. He welcomes us with a warm and genuine smile, checks in often, and ensures every detail is taken care of. Meeting him, enjoying the food, and feeling at home has genuinely become part of why we come back so often. Anand is amazing -- his service adds a personal touch that stands out in today's dining experience. Some people may ask whether they have live dosa/pani puri stands or fish fry counters -- no, but I assure you, you won't miss them because of the exceptional variety and flavor they already offer. You'll likely walk out with a happy heart, tight belly, and zero regrets. Their pricing is honestly unmatched for what they offer -- especially in this economy. Hats off to them for maintaining quality while staying affordable. If you live in Raleigh-Durham or are visiting the RTP area, you must try the weekend buffet at Lime & Lemon at least once. Chances are -- you'll go back again, just like we do. Highly recommended! read more

Restaurant staff were kind and welcoming. Food and drink suggestions were delicious and spice levels were also perfect to what was requested. We got veggie Gobi Manchurian, Pink Drink, Madras Chicken Curry-medium Chicken Saag-medium, and both butter and garlic Naan. We finished every bite. Restrooms were also clean and overall restaurant feel was great! read more

Got delivery through Uber Eats, chicken biryani was as flavorful as any I've ever had in DC, NYC, London, Minneapolis, Boston, etc., and the samosas and naan were excellent, too. Medium spice level, to me, is "white people" hot, just fyi. Chicken was bone-in leg and thigh meat and was super succulent. Great flavors of clove, chili, fennel, saffron maybe, all just really shining through. Sauces were also really flavorful, including tamarind and cilantro-mint (hari). Raita was more liquidy than I'm used to but was also really flavorful and went great with the biryani. The portion of biryani could easily satisfy 2-4 people depending on how much you eat, especially with the naan and samosas on the side. All in all, I think this is a fantastic option for Indian food and easily competes with the best in other major metro areas. read more

Great service. Only had appetizer but was very fresh with great flavor. Glad to see sanitation grade moving in the right direction; now posting a 90. Love the outdoor seating read more

wow!! Walked into this place on a whim, and it was the right choice! Best Indian cuisine I've had in Durham for sure, and with the BEST service. My boyfriend and I came in for lunch and we're lucky to get Ravi as a server. He was superb. He gave us some recommendations and we ended up getting the lunch specials, mine with chicken, his with lamb. You must try the mango lassi, so so good, we drank ours at the table and got another to take home. The menu is extensive but with Ravi's recommendations you can't go wrong! We went for lunch but are planning on returning for dinner since the bar had so many fun drinks and the cocktail menu has so many cool options! Definitely a great and underrated spot. We were one of a handful of other parties there midday on a weekday. Go there and ask for Ravi!! 12/10, the naan is chefs kiss read more

Authentic, fresh, hot, flavorful, good quality food, excellent portions and adjusted to your spice tolerance. Service is the best I have experienced in a dine in restaurants since before the pandemic. We requested a booth and non were available. Instead of waiting we were offered a table and when a booth became available, we were moved without hassle. Our waiter Ravi and I assume the manager were extremely patient and helpful throughout the visit. The decor is minimal, but everything was clean. The seats were comfortable and tables just the right size for the group. We were pleasantly surprised by the outstanding quality and selection. Some of the best Biryani, pani puri, samosas and chicken lollipop (wings) I have had in the world. Glad to see the place was not swamped by the "influencers". I would gladly drive 4 hours to eat at this restaurant which has 4-5 locations around Raleigh Durham area. read more

Been wanting to try this place out when visiting Durham. We finally went on our anniversary and it was a great choice. Made a reservation ahead of time. Was created at the door and was sat at a booth immediately. Our server Ravi was fantastic! Very attentive and helpful with making our choices. The food was amazing and they even surprised us with an anniversary desert! I'd highly recommend this place you're in the area! read more

All of my favorite Indian dishes in one place!! I decided to try Lime and Lemon for my self care Friday, and it did not disappoint. My waiter Anand was amazing and he was very thorough with offering recommendations and options. I ordered a spicy mushroom appetizer, the avocado and cheese dosa and goat Chittinad. They were all cooked to perfection. I'm used to the masala dosa, but this was an interesting twist that kind of reminded me of me of a quesadilla. They had paratha bread that is cooked to perfection. It was nice having the option of multiple regions of India in one place. The space is elegant and casual with a full bar. Will definitely come back for another self-care day. read more

We swung by Lime & Lemon for our dinner and I was very impressed. The food is tooooo delicious. We tried the pani puri, idli Sambar, plain dosa, basil and mint naan, garlic naan, chapati and mango and lime paneer curry. I can't believe a mango and lime curry would impress me so much. Not surprised that it is the restaurant's signature dish. The basil and mint naan was a flavor combo that was out of this world. This naan with the mango and lime paneer curry tasted divine. The ambience is very simple. The server was very sweet and friendly and offered us free rice kheer and pistachio kulfi because he messed up our order. Overall, great food and a nice lowkey place when you want to grab some casual dinner. read more

Came for dinner on a Saturday evening. It was very loud and crowded inside so my friends and I chose to sit outside. I love that they had outdoor seating options! I was surprised and a little overwhelmed by all the menu options, I wanted to try multiple dishes! The waiters and servers were all very friendly and attentive. The food came out very fast as well, less than 15 minutes after we ordered, which I was impressed by. I ordered the chicken jalfareze. I asked for it to be made mild but it was still quite spicy. The sauce had good flavor though and they provided additional rice for no extra fee. My friends ordered the paneer tikki masala and butter chicken and both of those dishes were delicious as well. Overall, I had a great experiencing dining here and would love to come back and try some of their other dishes! read more

This is my favorite Indian restaurant in Chapel Hill and Durham! The mocktail menu is fantastic- I love the Indian Mule! i got the baby corn appetizer, which was sweet and crunchy and delicious. Then I love getting the mango lime curry for my main. The ambiance is really cute- it was date night so we were happy to snag a cute and quiet booth. The service is always wonderful- from when we walk in the door to leave at the end of the evening. So good! read more

Love the food, spice level and the ambiance! Must try for Indian food. I tried paneer chukka and madras chicken curry - both were pretty good. The chukka was in much quantity for 3 people and same with madras curry. And they have malabar parota, which is rare. The pull apart parotha is really well made and fresh read more

Definition of high yield This place is so good. Not crowded at all for Sunday lunch. We tried their chicken tikka, shrimp biryani, and garlic naan. All were super tasty, generous meat portions, and their overall portion sizes are huge! Came with a huge tub of white rice too. Def took a bunch of leftovers home PSA: their "medium" is still pretty dang spicy so watch out read more

The bartender this evening recommended the daily cocktail containing fresh strawberries, raspberries, mango schnapps(?) and vodka. It was delicious. Vegetable samosas came with delicious mint and tamarind sauces. The chicken tikka masala was amazing (we ordered extra spicy) and the rice was soft! Garlic nan- incredible! (could use more garlic for my taste) Mango lassi- came in a premade bottle that the bartender said the restaurant staff makes. It was so good. We also got rice kheer and gulab jamun! Thank you for good service, keeping the place clean and maintaining a good atmosphere! read more

My cousin was visiting from Baltimore and staying nearby, and we were starving. We decided on Lime & Lemon because I'd never been there before, and she loves Indian food. There are parking lots on either end of the building, and there is street parking. We were seated right away on a slow Friday afternoon around noon. Even though it was gorgeous out, we sat inside at a lovely corner booth near the window. The vibe is absolutely cute and colorful. Kevin was our server, and he was great. Although very quiet, he was extremely helpful and gave us great suggestions and feedback when we asked. We each ordered something different so that we could share. My daughter ordered the Butter Chicken, I ordered the Lamb Tikka Masala, and my cousin ordered the Lamb Korma. We ordered Garlic Naan to share. Everything came out rather quickly and the presentation was the best. Everything was absolutely delicious. Every bite was better than the next. The Lamb and the chicken were both so tender, and the flavor of each dish was amazing. I absolutely loved my first time at Lime & Lemon, and have already told several people they have to check it out. read more

Awesome restaurant! Great service, food and ambiance. We were six of us for dinner. We got seated quickly. Reservations are recommended for this place. Our server Anand was very nice to interact with, very gracious and quick with his service. We ordered a number of dishes and shared them. Get Medium Spicy level. That way you can taste the nuances of the spice and not bombarded with heat. Overall very nice experience. Would go there again in a heartbeat! read more

Food: 4/5 Portions at this place are huge! You could definitely split on entrée. Had the chicken lollipop (come with about 5 per order, a decent size) was very good. Also got the tikka masala hot, but wish it was more spicy. All the entrees come with a ton of rice, I'm sure you will have leftovers! Service: 3.5/5 Overall great service! We had a large group and a couple of our orders got mixed up, but understandable. The staff was very nice and got a big table ready to accommodate our group. read more

Very good place! This is the first time I have had Indian food. I have a few intolerances so I was weary about trying something different. I explained to the waiter and he was very accommodating!

Atmosphere is very comforting and the top notch service made for a wonderful team dinner! read more

Oh how I've missed Indian food in Florida. Not just Indian food, but GOOD Indian food. Really really good Indian food. Was in town touring Duke so came by for dinner and can't wait till we get to return it was that good. They bring out a few different sauces, which are fun to try. We are gluten-free and soy-free and there are options with chickpea based crispy "bread" that you can order. Lots of gf options for those on special diets and easy to navigate their various ingredients on their website. Thank you Lime & Lemon! We passed on the dosa since we ordered a few other items instead. First, their Tandori Chicken Tikka is AMAZING!!!!!!! It's a generous helping and comes with unlimited rice. Also ordered their Chicken Tikka Masala and it was quite good as well, but less meat with lots of sauce and again unlimited rice. Their drink menu was good and loved their mocktail options, including their fun presentation. Really can't believe how much food we got for the price. It was out least expensive meal while on the road and one of our best. A couple side notes....all the servers are men. I think the women must either be home or work in the back. Fine with us, but was unusual. The server we had was excellent and extremely knowledgeable. The restaurant ambiance was fresh and clean. Fun color vibe. The only wonky thing is a bug zapper on the floor just by the front door, which we could hear b/c we sat near the front window. However, glad they're doing what they can to keep bugs out, it was just a little surprising as not sure I've ever seen that. If you're in the area, take a break from all the fried, unhealthy food and give this place a try. The flavors are amazing and we would highly recommend to others. read more

Excellent! We started with Indian Mules (a riff on a Moscow Mule) which were amazing. Heat with sweet that tasted incredible even on a cold night. And no tired lime wedge here here! A fresh, zesty lime slice and large burst of mint. Fresh and delicious! ...Which was true of everything else: samosas, chili paneer, a fish appetizer with a spicy sauce (Aloo 65?) and garlic naan. The heat was perfect on everything, the portions were exactly right. And if you're a garlic naan person, you'll be in heaven. Heaps of delicious and warm naan, soft as a pillow. Our server, Anand, was thoughtful and very, very good at his job: warmly attentive without being overbearing and knowledgeable about every single thing we asked. He was as delightful as the food! We'll be back soon. And you should go to! read more

Wonderful Indian restaurant in Durham. Prompt and friendly service. The menu is absolutely huge and we were not familiar with some of the dishes. The waiter took time to explain them to us.

My boyfriend and I came here for Valentine's day. The food was amazing. The waiter recommended something and insisted we go ahead and get it.

First restaurant I tried in the Raleigh area. It started off great. Apps were on point especially the gobi manchurian. We spoke to the manager, Napoleon, that we chose his Indian restaurant out of the entire Raleigh area. He appreciated that, struck up a convo, and was quite friendly. The meal and apps had good flavor, but some of the chicken pieces in my dish were chewy, but I battled through and chose not to speak up (I wish I had). Service was okay. An order came out with chicken when my partner only ordered everything that was vegetarian for herself and the server seemed suspicious and dumb-founded. I was about to tell him she ordered all veg and I ordered all non-veg, but then he finally started walking back to the kitchen. No apology or anything. Same when the correct order was served. We also got charged for the chicken dish. It was only $1 difference so we let it slide The chewy chicken was a huge turn off honestly. Once you have one, the rest of meal you wonder if they'll be another and there were several in mine. The service could've brought it up to a 4 star review but the chicken was bad enough to make me try elsewhere in the future. read more

I liked this lime and lemon location! However, I'm not sure it's my favorite Indian restaurant in the area. First, the service was good! They are quick and nice. I actually like the layout better than the other lime and lemon locations, but it's probably a little smaller. As for the food, I was happy, but not super happy. I liked all the food, but I wish the naan was warmer or crispier. Portions were not great. I thought the portions were a little smaller than I am used to. Especially for the meat dishes, I didn't feel like there was actually much meat in them. If I order goat, I really want some goat chunks!!! The pakoras we got were also kind of small. read more
