The service was excellent, but in my opinion, the food wasn’t the best. It was so spicy that it was almost impossible to enjoy. We had chicken and beef, but the beef was too fatty, so I wouldn’t order those dishes again. The naan was great, though, and they gave us extra rice. Yellow seats are not comfortable. They have good deals lunch time.

The best Indian food I’ve had in many years! Definitely in the top 2. My daughter who lives locally told me it was her favorite Indian restaurant and orders regularly for takeout. Dining in was quite an experience. The vibe was upbeat and though it was crowed both inside and outside, we were seated in about 5 mins. Our waiters Anand & Kevin were excellent in their service and charm. Attentive, pleasant and professional. The food was over the top fantastic! The mixed tandoori platter was just amazing and was enough for 2 people. All of our meals were filled with all the spices expected and was fresh with great quality. We ate a lot! Couldn’t get enough. The rasmalai melted in your mouth and the drinks were delicious! I truly understand why this is my daughter’s favorite restaurant. I’m sorry they are so far away but I’ll be there on my first night when back in NC. A must visit for the best Indian food ever!

This place is my favorite when craving Indian cuisine. We had an amazing dining experience as usual. The food was authentic and bursting with rich, vibrant flavors—each dish was perfectly spiced and cooked to perfection. The service was top-notch specially being last minute customers, with staff who were attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Their virgin drinks were refreshing and beautifully crafted, making a great pairing with the meal. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a lovely mix of modern décor and a cozy, relaxed vibe. Highly recommended for anyone craving delicious Indian cuisine! Thank you, will see you soon.

Massive thank you for the incredible catering at our wedding! The food was absolutely delicious, and everyone couldn’t stop talking about it. We also really appreciated Nepolien being there in person to ensure everything went smoothly. It was so reassuring to see him overseeing everything and making sure it was perfect. Thanks to LnL team for all their special attention and fantastic service. We came back to the Durham location to say thanks to Nepolien and his team in person and he packed a special to-go care package of yumminess! Thanks again for everything – you truly made our wedding day special!

I’ve eaten here plenty of time for takeout but yesterday we dined in for my mother’s birthday. Let me start by saying Kavin specifically took care of us from start to finish. Table reserved, fast taking of our orders and answering all of our questions. The service was phenomenal and my mom enjoyed every bit of it. Food is a 10/10. Great portions. Didn’t get to take pics of the food but we all had leftovers. The shrimp 65 was a hit. All the vegan options were perfect too.

We travel twice a year from Myrtle Beach to Durham for medical visits to Duke. I always take advantage of the ethnic culinary options in the area, but last night I was so surprised by my unexpected experience at this restaurant. I am no stranger to Indian cuisine, but this was by far the BEST dining experience with Indian cuisine I have ever had. We had the the lemon pepper cauliflower and the green curry leaf chicken appetizers to start. Our main courses were goat korma and lamb Rogan Josh along with a side order of the vegetable samosas. Don't ask me to single out my favorite dish, because every bite of each dish just kept getting better. It was a meal with so many beautiful and delicate layers of flavors and spices. Our server, Kevin, was such a kind hearted soul. He was the other half of this experience that made this such a joy. You could see the pride and excitement on his face that we were so pleased and enjoying our dining experience. If you're a drinker you absolutely must have their Indian Mule cocktail. I could have had too many of those very easily. Gosh, what a beautifully crafted drink! I told Kevin to pick the best Indian Whiskey for me for an after meal cordial and he did not disappoint. We will be coming back to Durham in just a few short weeks, but not for Duke... We are coming for the only purpose to eat at this establishment again. Kevin, we hope to have the pleasure of having you as our server that night as well!.

This spot is laid back chill with a for sure hip relaxed vibe. The music was spot on. The staff was very friendly and took their time with me to make sure the perfect order for the perfect evening with my wife was placed. Definitely a “do-over”.

What a gem! Generally, it is a faux pas to order North and South Indian food at the same time. But we bucked the norms and ordered Masala Dosa AND the “chef special” Mattar Paneer. FANTASTIC!! we couldn’t decide which dish we enjoyed more. Plus, do not miss on the bullet naans. We went in close to closing time, but we were seated with a smile and served fantastically. We asked for a masala chai at the end, but the kitchen had already closed. Three different people, including the manager, came in and profusely apologized. Apology was not really needed, but really appreciated. A strong recommendation.

Amazing food & people! We tried their catering tasting menu and the food was delicious and authentic. Napoleon gave us great recommendations and a huge variety of dishes to taste for a very reasonable tasting fee. He answered all of our questions and also took into consideration any of our personal preferences. We’re excited to work with Lime & Lemon for our event. Definitely must try their chukka, biryani and paneer shaam savera dishes! We absolutely loved both mango and malai kulfi and couldn’t pick our favorite. Best Indian food in NC! ☺️
