I tried this place out after seeing it on Moore Foodies fb page. Like wow wow wow. Truly authentic food. I had the Chicken Tikka Masala and it was smooth and garlicky. I tried the papaadum out and it’s such a unique burst of flavor in my mouth. I really recommend this place if you want real Indian food.

My wife and I have always enjoyed this restaurant, but when we went in tonight it was different. There was loud music and bright lights. Not the quiet tranquil setting we were used to. The food was good but after getting our food our server never came back. Finally after we had been done eating for about 30 minutes and the blaring music was getting to us we asked another server for our check. She was very busy and it still took another 20 minutes before we could leave. I’m not sure what was going on but there were problems. Not sure if we’ll go back. The other Indian restaurants are comparable in food quality.

Absolutely delicious. First time I came here was with my husband from Raleigh. It’s really hard to find authentic Indian places. This time we ordered to-go and brought it home after a long day of golf. Still so good. The naan is so buttery soft and the Shai Paneer is the best I have ever had. THE BEST. I have never had better shai paneer before.

We had Onion Pakora, Chilli Naan, Paneer Tikka, and Rasmalai !! They were so delicious. Honestly, the best Paneer Tikka I’ve had in a while. The Rasmali was soft, delicate, with an essence of rose and cardamom. A must try when you come. I def reccomend. It’s inside of the hotel, but overall ambiance once seated.

We drove down from Raleigh on a recommendation to check it out. We were pleasantly surprised and amazed at the excellent service from the moment we walked in, got great recommendations and the host customized our order as well. Great samosa, gobi manchurian, methi mutter malai and authentic dosa plus desi chai. Unbeatable quality and menu selection. Must visit.

Excellent food, outstanding service! One of the best kept secrets in Southern Pines – a hidden gem tucked inside of a Days Inn – some of the very best Indian food I’ve ever had! You will not be disappointed

Food and service were excellent! Our favorite Indian food in the area. We had samosa chat, chicken vindaloo, chicken Tikka, and bullet Naan. All excellent! We were also thrilled they had the traditional papadam. We will be back!

We had a bad experience about 6 months at this place. However, we found that a new owner had bought and changed the name. So, we went to try food this time. The food was good. I had goat meat, naan and it was delicious. My wife had dosa and paratha. She loved it esp red spicy sacuce-chamandi. The only downside was paratha was too small. We drove 40 mins just to have a good indian food. Fayeteville doesnt have good indian restaurants unless if you are willing to drive to Raleigh. We will definitely come back again.

Delicious Indian food! What I love is that they offer a variety of different options of authentic South Indian food that you can’t find anywhere else! I love the Dosas and they offer over 10 different options. I got Garlic Naan, Chili Paneer, Pani Poori, and Chicken Tikka Masala and they were all delicious! You definitely have found a returning customer, will be back soon!
