Best Indian Restaurant In Durham

Syeda Mahmuda

We had takeout from Tandoori Bites yesterday. Ordered 3 items goat biryani, tandoori chicken and malai kofta. All the items were very delicious! Portion size of the three items was quite reasonable as well. I highly recommend this restaurant. Will definitely try more items in future.

Best biriyani around the triangle area. The taste is very unique compared to other Indian restaurants. Spice level matches my pallet perfectly. I only ordered through DoorDash so far. Never faced any issue.

We have been to many Indian restaurants in the area and this is one of our favorites. The food is fresh, flavorful and consistent. The restaurant is clean, the service is attentive and the ambiance is relaxing.

We came here last night to celebrate my daughter’s birthday, and I am still blown away by the experience. Before we even walked in, we waited in the car for the crowd to cool down a bit. From the parking lot, we watched one girl running around the entire packed restaurant completely by herself. She was working ... incredibly hard, and you could just tell her feet had to be hurting and yet she handled it all with the biggest, most genuine smile on her face. My friends and I were already amazed before we even stepped foot inside. That amazing girl was Mimi. The moment we walked in, she greeted us warmly and effortlessly multitasked to get a big table ready for us while still taking care of everyone else. She was so thoughtful and apologetic about them being busy, explaining they were washing glasses and would have water right out and we weren’t mad at all, but her communication and care were top-tier! Mimi is an absolute vibe. Her energy is fantastic, and she recommended about half of our dishes (trust her, she has the best recommendations!). The food looked and smelled incredible at every table, and ours was no exception, also the spice levels were absolutely on point. When I asked who the chef was, Mimi told us it was her dad! She shared that he has been a chef his whole life and truly lives to keep people fed with passion. Hearing that genuinely touched my heart because my dad is the exact same way and loves making food for people. You can taste that love in every single bite. Incredible food, beautiful family business, and the most calm, outstanding customer service from Mimi. We had the absolute best night celebrating my daughter. Mimi, if you see this, you nailed it! We will absolutely be back! Read More

I’d show you a photo of my food, but I ate it all. This was hands down the BEST Butter Chicken I’ve ever had. I ordered pickup through Uber Eats because they had coupon. When I walked in, I had a hint it was going to be good because it smelled so good inside. The young lady that greeted me was very sweet, I jokingly ... asked if my food was made with love and she said her parents put their heart into their food (family owned - another good sign). SHE WASN’T LYING. The sauce was cooked to perfection. It was perfectly spiced and tasteful. The chicken was so tender, I was able to cut it with my plastic spoon. I didn’t even need a knife. I could go on about the flavor of the sauce, they have it perfected. Usually people don’t talk about rice, but the rice was also perfect. It wasn’t sticky or dry, it was buttered and moist and you could tell it was fresh. Then I paired it with the garlic naan which was so soft and fluffy, again, perfect amount of seasoning for everything. I will 100% be back and 10/10 recommend. Read More
