I've never been to India so I don't know if I've had authentic Indian. But I lived in NYC for 3 years, mecca of cuisine from all over the world so I think I have a pretty good idea of the difference between good food and bad. So far Azitra has served up some of the best Indian food I've had in the Triangle. I'm surprised to see other reviewers posting that the food is bland here, that would be very far from the truth. I've had some dishes here that set my mouth on fire. When the menu says ""spicy"" they really mean it. Coming from the North to the South, I'd say what is considered spicy in most restaurants in this area really is not. Luckily, at this restaurant you can specify from mild to very hot so you should find something that fits your spice threshold. In my experience the servers here will help you out with that if you are not sure. I have not yet had a bad experience with service, or with being seated promptly. While the restaurant is dimly lit I would not say it is too dark. They must have improved on their lighting situation because I didn't have any trouble seeing my menu. They also serve up some great drinks from their bar. Yes, it is a little pricier than some of the other restaurants around, but you get what you pay for right?
