@eater

"With its recent selection as Eater’s 2022 North Carolina Restaurant of the Year, Cheeni and chef-owner Preeti Waas have continued to impress diners across the state. Waas’s unique blend of Indian comfort food with American cafe-style service offers bites not seen in most other Indian restaurants in the area. The Bombay sandwich features buttered white sandwich bread spread with cilantro-mint chutney and stuffed full of salted cucumbers and tomatoes, while dinner features items like a hariyali whole fish cooked in a tandoor, Bengali roast chicken, and a South Indian style vegetable korma. Don’t miss the specialty beverages either." - Matt Lardie
