Best

My wife and I celebrated our 25th Anniversary at the Brier Creek location. All I can say is it was wonderful. We highly recommend.

Worst

I have eaten at many many Indian restaurants and Azitra is not one of the best that is for sure. The food is very inconsistent. One night you order the Chicken Tikka Masala mild...

Pretty good Indian food & Service - great ambiance! 9/16/2006

I love Azitra, the food is great, and the service always friendly - The ambiane (furniture, curtains, lighting) is my absolute favorite in this restaurant. The lunch prices are very appropriate and the portions are perfect, and everything tastes fantastic. Keep up the great work! Pros: Great ambiance, location and nice service Cons: Expensive for dinner but well worth it. more

Apology for Indian food!!!!! 5/14/2006

Went there once after it was opened. The specific food that we ordered was supposed to be mildly hot. But after a bite, both my husband and I had fire coming out of our nose, eyes, ears!!!!! we had to return the dish and order something new. At the end of it, we had to shell out a hefty amount. Went there a second time with a friend and decided to try ""chicken chettinad"", a delicacy in southern india. what came to the table was what could best be called ""boiled chicken with tamarind paste"". again a hefty bill with absolutely no value. it would be best if this restaurant did not mislead uninformed customers by passing off wrong cuisine as gourmet fare. more

Good food! 5/1/2006

Azitra has a very warm and inviting upscale decor that is well complimented by the outstanding service. I've been eating Northern and Southern Indian food for about 2 decades (both home-cooked and restaurant-made): Azitra is in the top 80% of my experiences. Their spicing is excellent and the heat level is kept to a low- perfect for most American palates- I get mine Indian hot and it's much better. I've been to Azitra several times, both for lunch and dinner, and everyone who was with me loved it. There are better indian restaurants out there (Tower is my favorite for Southern Indian while Royal India is my favorite for northern, although they cover both regions) but Azitra is a wecome addition to the Triange's plethora of Indian restaurants. Pros: Ambience, Service, Menu Cons: Light spicing more

Looks good, tastes bad 4/17/2006

This place has a great location, great decor, and great staff. Unfortunately it ends there. The food is not at all authentic. I would normally be ok with non-authentic tasting food if it tasted good. For example, a lot of chefs will modify a dish in a good way to add a new taste twist to it. In this case, however, the food has most of the character removed, and is bland. If you are used to eating flavorless food, you may find it to be great though. Pros: Decor, Service Cons: Food taste more

Outstanding! 4/4/2006

I have lived in the Triangle area for almost 10 years and I believe this is the best restaurant around! Though I like Indian cuisine, I don't often seek it out. This place blew me away--atmosphere, service, and it manages to be a hot spot for dating and also able to accomodate children. I'd recommend it to anyone! more

YUMMY 4/2/2006

After reading these few reviews we decided to give it a go and see for ourselves. Being from England we can say we know Indian food. The ambience was lovely and warm. We were greated by a great bar staff who made our first round of drinks very enjoyable. We had a good table with a view of the whole resturant. The place was busy. Why?? The food of course. It was very good. We found the spices and sauces to our liking. Since there were 6 of us, we all shared a wide variety of dishes, and all was good. They have a very good wine list...lots of choices. The chef made a visit to our table as he did others. Very attentitive staff and the owner was present. Excellent value, and delicious food. more

Disappointing 2/22/2006

This is a beautiful restaurant, with a lot of upscale ambiance. Unfortunately, the food doesn't match the quality of the decor. In the dishes we had the meat and sauce had clearly been cooked separately, to the detriment of the flavor. Bland is the last thing I expect from Indian food, but that was what we got. While we the loved the atmosphere, for Indian food there are several better options in the Triangle. Pros: beautiful decor Cons: indifferent service, mediocre food more

Azitra has class! 2/13/2006

Azitra is my favorite Indian restaurant when I want great ambience to go along with my dining experience. The decor will dazzle you, as will the amazing array of wine choices. Favorite dishes are the Goan Curry Chicken or the Chicken Mahkni. The Palek Paneer is a little different than what I am used to but delicious nonetheless. The plain naan is kind of bland, so I prefer the Garlic Naan. They also offer to spice your food as you like it, on a scale of 1-5, 1 being mild. Should you find that the food is a bit too spicy, they'll happily replace it, but I suggest ordering a Mango Lassi (yogurt smoothie) which cools the burn. They make it with yogurt that has been made in-house - fabulous! This is a great ""date place"", also good for business lunches, as they prepare your food in about 10 minutes. Pros: Fab food, good parking, Mango Lassi!!! Cons: often crowded more

Great Food!! 2/10/2006

If you love Indian food, this is the place for you. It is a very unique concept that adds excitement to traditional Indian cuisine. My meal was outstanding and the service was excellent. The environment and ambience adds to the overall experience and it is a great place to take a date. Be sure to check out the bar before you are seated for dinner. Pros: Great Food, Ambience, Outdoor Dining more

Nice to look at, but the food... 2/10/2006

wasn't very authenic. This is definitely a ""watered-down"" version of Indian food. In normal Indian restaurants, my friend tends to ask for her food to be ""mild"". Here, she asked for ""medium""...and complained that it was still way too bland! I asked for the spiciest they offer...and was sorely disappointed. Our waitress was this American girl who couldn't pronounce half the food on the menu...let alone describe what it was. Thankfully, we knew REAL Indian food from our experiences elsewhere...we taught her what some of them was! I'm wondering if even the cooks in the kitchen were Indian, either. If your idea of Mexican food is Taco Bell, or your idea of Italian is Olive Garden, then maybe this will be a good intro to Indian for you. But if you want something authenic, there are many other options in the Triangle I'd suggest instead. Pros: Nice decor Cons: not spicy enough, too Americanized more
