    We actually came here because the restaurant next door is not doing dine-in during Covid, and I have to say I was presently surprised to find another place I would go back to. I like trying the Paneer Tikka Masala everywhere I can. I was impressed by the quality here! It was a bit sweeter than I'm used to, which may have been from the red onion and green pepper chunks that came in it, but I actually like the addition of those two because it gives you a break from just eating cheese. It wasn't the hottest Paneer Tikka I've ever had, but in flavor it was enough for me to want to order it again.

    Visiting Raleigh and wanted to get a little gastro adventure. I don’t eat Indian food often but this was incredible! The chicken biryani was so aromatic with tender meat. Their secret spice mix and preparation should make this dish the most popular. Staff was kind, attentive and provided good explanation of menu. Will visit again in the future.

    They have a perfect blend of spices, extremely tender and juicy aromatic Chicken Biryani. All of our food came out fresh and piping hot! Our experience was so great. I can’t say enough amazing things about this restaurant and it’s service. Nice people and serve halal chicken. I highly recommend a visit here for a very authentic meal, you won’t be disappointed!

    Excellent little hole in the wall! Truly a great experience and excellent food that was prepared with great love and attention to detail. We used to go to the place next door but since owners changed hands it's not as good. Came here (right next door) on a whim and so glad we did. Ordered samosas, Hyderabadi Chicken Dum biryani, Hyderabadi Murg Masala and garlic Naan. The samosas were spicy but so full of flavor, biryani was also full of flavor and delicious! The ONLY problem is lots of dishes contain cashews which I am allergic to so I was disappointed I couldn't have them. The waiters are so humble, helpful and just pleasant. Truly a gem!

    Great food and service, probably the best Indian restaurant I’ve been to since moving to Cary. I had the Xprx Special Dum Biryani and will definitely be getting it again. Onion naan was fantastic as well

    Delicious meal. We got the chili garlic noodles and Szechuan noodles. Full of flavor. Raleen was fantastic! Would definitely come back. Very quick service too

    I got Hyderabadi goat dum biryani and paneer chili with gravy. This is one of the best biryani I have tried in a minute. The paneer chilli was not what I was expecting it had more of a Chinese style touch rather than Indian. The riata could have been a little less runny too. Anyway the overall experience was pretty good.

    Food was too freakin good to wait to take pics!! This is my go to for ordering in. Biryani xprx is also much cheaper then your regular Indian food (most are 20+ a dish) each entree was 16.99. Some of the best Indian food I’ve ever had (and I’ve had a lot) 😂 it truly never disappoints. The curry is absolutely delicious. My partner and I got the chicken tikki masala and the paneer masala, which is cubed cottage cheese. Comes with rice but not pictured. You also can’t go wrong with the garlic naan. Seriously out of this world. This is a must try for Indian food!!

    We’ve been ordering take out regularly (week days/weekend). My favorite is tandoori chicken with mint sauce. And the order is always ready on time when I get there. We will definitely come back to try other dishes.

    We just ordered Veg dum biriyani and It was okay not too bad not too good. Clean place and staff was good. I would expect more flavourful.

  • 4/5 Priyesha J. 1 year ago on Google
    Loved the veg Lunch combo. Especially the quantity of the biryani it comes with. Authentic tasty biryani which comes with mirch ka salan and raita. Dal tadka was nice but I would’ve preferred if the other curry was an actual subzi of any type. It was like two dals for me as the other was mung bean with potato in it. Overall it was nice for the price!!

    Excellent food and service! We tried a few different dishes including a biryani, a curry, and tandoori chicken. The Tandoori is a must get! Everything was phenomenal. Our server was also very attentive and helpful as we went through the menu. I will definitely be coming back.

    Food. Absolutely delicious. High-quality ingredients and various flavors. The chicken Tikka masala is sweet and tangy. The sauce is perfectly matched with the Naan bread. Service: I was greeted and immediately assisted. My order was correct and made an I timely fashion. Atmosphere: No frills, clean, and orderly.

    I was in town for a conference. A friend of mine recommended this place and it definitely did not disappoint. The staff was attentive and very helpful. I usually order Tikki Masala or Butter Chicken when I visit other restaurants, but I asked staff for suggestions. The gentleman took time to explain some of the menu to me to make recommendations. I ended up getting the Hyderabadi Murg Masala. It was delicious! Everything came out hot and the flavors were magnificent! I have never tried Fresh Lime Soda, but it was very tasty. I love Naan bread and the Garlic Naan was delicious! Samosas with the dipping sauces were very good. I am not a fan of mint, but the mint cilantro sauce was a nice compliment to the Samosa. The Hyderabadi Murg Masala was very good. I ordered with Medium heat and it was perfect! I also ordered the Vegetable Momos to try the steamed dumplings. They came with a sauce, which tasted similar to the sauce for butter chicken. They were very good as well. I live a little over an hour away from Cary and would DEFINITELY make a trip back for dinner. If you have not tried this restaurant, I would definitely recommend! Good job guys! I will be back soon!

    Everything was good. We ordered the chicken momos, lamb szechuan noodles, chicken tikka, chicken karahi. Food was good. Environment is not too bad. NOTE: If you are going in as 5 or more people they charge you extra in the bill and there is no avoiding it. My bill was around $98 but it became $122 because of the more than or equal to 5 people charge.

    This is my number one Indian food place. I love Indian food as a vegan and holistic health practitioner/massage therapist. I wonder if they know how healing their foods are with the herbs and spices. I mean it knocks out a cold and really helps with inflammation as well too if you're in any pain in any areas of the body.
