   The food was exceptional, and the staff was friendly, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. We have been there many times and will continue to return. This restaurant is Michelin star worthy. We highly recommend it.

   If you are looking for good Indian food and beautiful ambience then this is your place. The executive chef Bhavin was helpful with explaining everything and brought us complementary toast as we were celebrating our 44th anniversary. Also, he sent out a couple of other dishes on the house. The food was very delicious and we loved going to Tamasha. The noise level was a little high but overall it was a fantastic experience. Thank you Bhavin for making our evening extra special!

   Food was very tasty, but didn’t blow my mind. The noise level made it hard to hear, especially since we were seated at a table by the bar and kitchen door (we had reservations, so it wasn’t like they had to accommodate us at the last minute). And while we were asked to pay attention to the dress code when asked to do firm the reservation, it was clearly not enforced: saw plenty of tennis shoes, tshirts and even a ball cap. It was a nice night out, but not the remarkable experience I was expecting.

   Great experience for my wife and I as we celebrated our anniversary! My wife is big on Indian cuisine. Myself not so much but always willing to try something new. I just say I’m sold now after great experience at Tamasha!

   The ambiance at this restaurant is truly beautiful—elegant, warm, and thoughtfully designed to create a wonderful dining experience. The service was equally impressive. Our waiter had the perfect blend of professionalism, knowledge, and charisma. He was our favorite part! As for the food, the flavors were good, however, the portion sizes in relation to the prices left much to be desired. The shrimp appetizer, while tasty, was $21 for just four shrimp. The butter chicken came with a single piece of chicken about the size of a large boneless thigh and a small cup of rice—for $32. While I can appreciate paying a premium for quality and atmosphere, the value just wasn’t there. It's hard to justify such high prices for portions that felt more like tastings than meals. If you’re looking for ambiance and service, this place delivers. But if you’re hoping for a satisfying and reasonably portioned meal, you might leave feeling a bit shortchanged.

   The chef Bhavin came and introduced himself to several tables. The owner checked in with each guest during meal. It was a birthday meal and we got a lovely mango sorbet on the house.

    This is my second time here. Both time were amazing. The Hydribadi Chicken and the Crab Molie were exceptional. Very friendly and attentive staff. Hands down one of the very best restaurants in RDU
