18 Best Indian Restaurants in Raleigh, Durham, Cary | Eater Carolinas

"India’s next-door neighbor China has had a long and profound impact on the country’s culinary heritage, and Raleigh’s Kadhai celebrates that influence. There are more “traditional” menu items like lamb vindaloo, chicken korma, and aloo tiki, but also an Indo-Chinese menu with chicken Manchurian, fried rice, and chili paneer. Other unique menu items include lamb Patiala, done in the style of the royal courts of Patiala state with an aromatic masala mix of ground onion, ginger, garlic, and spices, and goat dhansak, a style of curry heavy on lentils that originated with the Parsi Zoroastrian peoples." - Matt Lardie
