The food was amazing as always. Matthew is the best and most thoughtful server - always check son my young son to make sure the food is not too spicy. Matthew always make great recommendations that never disappoint. Great atmosphere- high energy with full tables but never too loud. Best Indian food in Raleigh!

Irregardless is one of our favorite places to go before we attend a performance downtown. Tonight, we had exceptional service, interesting cocktails, and excellent food, and we were on our way in less than an hour. This delightful Raleigh landmark is always a good choice. My spanakopita was just right, and my husband's steak was beautifully cooked.

The meat choices were varied and interesting. The house special was delicious. The grilled cinnamon pineapple was very tasty. Several of the meats were overcooked. There were no labels on the dishes at the salad bar. The side dishes were all served warm to cold. To be fair, I am a big fan of Brasa, which closed unexpectedly and was only a block away from this restaurant.
