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.

For apps we got Gobi Manchurian and the Afghani paneer and tikka masala paneer as well. The Gobi Manchurian was good had a bit of a BBQ sauce flavor to it but the spice was good and the Afghani paneer was delicious! For entrees we got the punjabi palak paneer and the malai kofta and paneer tikka and various naans and rotis. Everything was off the chain delicious. I do wish some dishes were a bit spicier but overall it was great. The service was amazing I loved that they had water bottles on the tables and you fill it up as you please. It is a fairly formal place! Parking is right beside the restaurant!

If you're looking for Indian food in Raleigh that delivers on both flavor and overall experience,…read moreSoul Flavorscapes of India is an easy recommendation. This is a 5-star restaurant, but not in a formal, special-occasion sense. It's a more approachable kind of 5: thoughtful, well-executed, and genuinely enjoyable. The kind of place you can go for a relaxed dinner or to host friends from out of town, and still feel confident in the quality of the experience. I went with my husband and a family friend who was visiting, and it was a great setting for catching up. The ambiance strikes a nice balance between polished and comfortable. I especially liked the rich blue tones inside and the overhead lanterns, which give the space a warm, inviting feel. There's also a outdoor patio, though at 96 degrees, we opted to sit inside. I'll admit I didn't do a great job capturing photos, but everything we ordered was excellent. We started with samosas, veg pakora, and beet cutlets (which my husband hadn't had since moving to the U.S. for grad school over a decade ago). We also ordered a mango lassi, the bread basket, malai kofta, balti chicken, and lamb biryani. A few highlights: Portions are generous The spice levels are accurate "medium" and "medium hot" both had a noticeable level of heat, which isn't always the case locally The lamb biryani stood out (my husband said it's the best biriyani he's had in North Carolina) Service was also great. The owner stopped by our table multiple times and was warm and engaging. She even shared how to make a strawberry lassi with our friend, which was a thoughtful touch. One practical note: the restaurant is downtown, and there's a surface parking lot directly next to it that uses ParkMobile, which makes parking straightforward. We're already planning to return.

Our favorite is the Lucknow Biryani, which is lighter and more aromatic than a Hyderabadi Biryani. We also love the Chili Momo, which uses a samosa wrapper rather than the dumpling wrappers we are used to. Bonus points for being one of the rare places that offers a plain Sweet Lassi in addition to the more commonly available Mango Lassi. If you want to try something new and different, give it a shot!

Also, if you are in the camp that your indian food is even better when it's leftovers, this place does not disappoint!

I figured I'd give it a try. The service was great, I navigated the menu and had a sample which was delicious. I ordered the 2 entree and 2 side special. That included some Naan bread and some veggie rice. The food is tasty, but lacks some refined flavor. It certainly was welcome when I needed to find food outside of the hotel I was staying at. The service was 5 star. I had samples and enjoyed my selections. One star deduction for quality. I'd dine here again.

Everything was well made and flavorful. Looking forward to going back to try the other menu options.

I ordered right when they opened and was told 20 minutes. great. I arrive and they tell me something wasn't working properly and to come back in 30 minutes. Strike 1. Luckily, I was staying in the area for other errands. When I returned, my order was ready, but it wasn't until I reached home to realize the rectangular styrofoam container was only about 75% full. Strike 2. I worked on the math on the dish which was $15. I received about 15 pieces of baby corn. There were zero people in the restaurant when I first came and when I returned it was the same. Strike 3 because at 1230 on a Sunday should have some patrons or something is going wrong. Looking at some other reviews it looks like my sentiments are a common theme. I don't understand restaurants these days. People who have bad experiences are more likely to submit bad reviews. I guess they get what they deserve. No apology or anything either. I will not be returning.

Well that did last by the time ink dried on that instagram post. But the Pani puri was good. I didn't know that Pani puri in Hyderabad has ragda (chole) in it. Made it nice. We happened to be there on not such a great day as they looked to be extremely busy with take out orders perhaps due to graduation parties in mid June. The air conditioning wasn't working too well and temperature was hot inside. The service was a bit slower than we would like but seemed like it was unusual order volume on that day. We ordered hot and sour soup we asked for it to be mild but was way too mild. We ordered paneer butter masala which was perfect and we also ordered vegetable koorma with garlic naans. The koorma was a bit more saucy than vegetables but good overall. The naan was piping hot and fresh. We highly recommend the place. I definitely want to see this place succeed - it's close by. This location has been challenging and has seen restaurants rotate. I hope this one sticks.
