i took a party of 6 to azitra on a friday night and we all met at the bar. very hip little restaurant with a sitar player and friendly staff. we were seated in the dining room, given plenty of time to look over the menu and i was very impressed with the beverage menu. most indian restaurants in durham (or in general) DO NOT have great drink menus and this one did! if you are a wine drinker you will be very pleased. the food menu was also very familiar with all the well known popular indian dishes. looking good! we decided we would like a little bit of everything so ended up ordering 3 different kinds of bread and 7 dishes from just about every category. when the food came out i will have to say i was a little disappointed. it was good, not great, and for the high prices the portions were so small! i don't mind small portions but my gosh the prices! following me? its also the only indian restaurant i have ever been to where they charge for papadam! if the food was great i wouldn't mind paying the prices but it was just okay. if you are meeting somone for drinks i would recommend it. very cute little bar area and a great drink menu. besides that i would have to say it was average.
Pros: nice wine list and beverage menu, clean, friendly
Cons: high priced dishes, average indian food
