Tamasha Modern Indian

Tamasha was the best Indian food that I've ever had. I've been to several famous Indian restaurant in NYC. I enjoyed them all, but Tamasha is even better than all of those. First of all, the foods were absolutely delicious. We ordered KHEEMA KALEJI (minced lamb and liver, covered by crispy potato and parmesan mousse). This was my favorite of the night. It combines the tradition and the creation. We also ordered BYADGI CHILLI SHRIMPS and BUTTER CHICKEN. Both of them were great as well. I could taste the freshness of the chicken, of the shrimp, and of the spices. We also enjoyed the dessert very much. We ordered North meets south. The sweetness goes perfect with the coconut flavor. Secondly, the service and the vibe were great as well. Both the chef and the owner came to our table to talk to us. They seemed pretty nice and humble. They were asking about our experience. I felt like they were not only following a protocol to ask very standardized questions. I think they were actually listening to people's opinions try to make the guests happy. My husband told the owner that he liked everything, but only one suggestion - since Indian foods are usually spicy, so if they could add Lassi to the drink menu, that'll be great, as it a very traditional Indian drink and could help to mitigate the spiciness. They owner said "sure, we will definitely work on it for the future menu. Thank you for the advice." And then he made us two glasses of Mango Lassi right away! We were so surprised. Last but not least, the decorations were very beautiful. I love it! However, the only small part that I didn't enjoy much was that our server was a little bit rushy - his attitude was nice though, but he checked on us too frequently to see if we finished, and even asked us if we wanted to look at the dessert menu while we were still in the middle of eating the main course. Other than this, everything was perfect!

Gorgeous inside and an opulent dining experience throughout. Outstanding service by Marco and so many others. The dishes are almost too beautiful to eat but the flavors are off the charts - not a single dish disappointed. Drinks were equally as pretty and unique, and tasted amazing. Even was visited by the Executive Chef twice and the Owner once to our table to see how we enjoyed everything - so kind. If there was an option for 10 stars, I would give it. Truly a gem!

Absolutely unforgettable! We celebrated my daughter’s college graduation at Tamasha Modern Indian Restaurant, and it was flawless. The private dining room was breathtaking, as was the entire restaurant. The service warm and attentive, and the food—simply outstanding. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The chef came out to greet us; we applauded! The staff went above and beyond, down to chilling and slicing the cake and providing a vase for our flowers. If you're looking for an elegant and delicious experience in Raleigh, Tamasha is a must!

Absolutely wonderful restaurant. The decor is stunning, the service is always top notch, and the food is flavorful, inventive, and delicious. I have been here several times now with family and friends. Each time, the Executive Chef (Bhavin), has come out and greeted every, single customer in the restaurant. It’s clear that he cares deeply about the food he prepares and that his customers have the best possible experience while dining at his restaurant. We will be back again and again. This is now one of my favorite restaurants in Raleigh. Keep up the excellent work, Tamasha team!

Wonderful find! Great location in North Hills right across a parking lot. Great acoustics inside. I'm a huge stickler for being able to hear my friends when we go out for dinner. We had a big selection of their appetizers. The chili shrimp, paneer, and lamb keema kulcha were amazing. The oysters were a little salty. We hit a home run on our main dishes. The lamb shank (dum ki nalli gosht) is to die for and the crab moilee was spectacular. We didn't get any dessert since I brought a cake for our bday celebrant. They graciously kept the cake in the back for us and brought it out complete with a lit candle then cut it for us for an additional cake cutting fee of $5. Service was great. Our server was attentive without being intrusive. Great addition to the Raleigh food scene. Even those in our party who aren't huge fans of Indian food were impressed!

We dined at Tamasha with our two children and had an excellent experience. Our waitress, Katie, was fantastic. Katie was extremely attentive, knowledgeable and friendly, especially with our two children. We also had assistance from Ethalee throughout the meal! We were so impressed with the service from start to finish. Atmosphere is very sophisticated and inviting. We tried cocktails, appetizers, and entrees. Our favorites were the fried chicken appetizer, butter chicken and snapper entree. The cocktails were also great! Highly recommend this restaurant and the entire team - everything was phenomenal!

Everything about this place was immaculate. The decor the food the interaction with the chef! It really felt like every dish I ate was made with wholehearted love for the craft. The food was perfectly balanced in salt vs. sweet, crunchy vs. soft. It was so so good

The food & service at Tamasha exceeded my expectations. Although Tamasha has been hailed as a beautiful restaurant, but I think the real stars are their staff and the chef. Our server was very polite yet warm and knowledgeable of the menu. The chef visited tables to mingle and explain the menu items with back stories of some of the dishes. The food is well curated and not your usual fare. It was definitely delicious and well liked by everyone in our group. I was happy to see that they served a vegan version of the Galouti Nihari & Paniyarams! The other appetizers that everyone liked were Byadgi Chilli Shrimp and the Kheema Kaleji. In the mains we ordered vegan Collard Greens daal, fish (was fresh), and mushrooms. The group wanted to order the Dum ki Nalli too, but everyone was already feeling a bit full. Their desserts are very interesting too. The main dessert is an amalgamation of a couple of Northern Indian & Southern Indian dishes - Ghewar & Payasam. An interesting combination made delicately and wasn’t heavy, according to those who had it. Not vegan so I didn’t try it. Their vegan Mango and Guava sorbets were great. We’ll definitely visit Tamasha again.

Just finished eating an hour ago and I am still thoroughly enjoying the all of the spices and flavors. Absolute knock out! Incredible staff from the waitresses to the chefs and the owner. Southern hospitality meets Indian dishes!

Our experience was wonderful! A special shoutout to Orlando, our server, who had excellent recommendations and advice as we chose what to order. Everything was delicious but I'd especially recommend the red snapper curry dish (the curry sauce was RIDICULOUSLY good). The restaurant itself has a lovely swanky vibe and was a pleasant space, not too loud or quiet and every style choice felt thoughtful. We'll definitely be back!

My wife made a reservation based on the good reviews and we were both quite disappointed. First, we probably had the worst table in the place. This is supposed to be upscale, but our table was right at the door to the kitchen and also next to the service station where the staff was constantly stopping (next to the table) to enter orders and put cleaned dishes. It was loud and distracting. This table should just be removed. We got there fairly late and there we other tables available, which was also disappointing. For the food, we got the mushroom paradise and it just wan't very good. On the brighter side, we liked the purple sweet potato crunchy kale and shish chaat. Naan was good, but expensive and not much of it (much less than a typical Indian restaurant). Service was good. Prices were overall much higher than typical Indian restaurants and I just didn't feel it was worth it at all. It seems like you're paying for this fancy atmosphere, not great food, but when your table is right by the kitchen, that atmosphere doesn't cut it. I would not go back.

We came to Tamasha for a tasty dinner with some friends. Reservations are definitely recommended as it is a popular spot. You can park in the garage right next door for free. Service was good - we had a very talkative but attentive waiter. It was a fun experience and we're glad that we went! However for the super high price point, we don't think we'll be rushing back soon. We ordered: Lamb Kheema Kulcha (minced spiced lamb, goat cheese, roast garlic butter) Kerala Pork Belly Bao (pork belly bao, Kerala spice mix, roasted garlic and chili dip) Purple sweet potato, crunchy kale, and shiso chaat (yogurt foam, tamarind, mint chutney) Paneer Pasanda (smoked tomatoes and red pepper makhani, paneer) Butter Chicken (char grilled chicken, smoked tomatoes and red pepper makhani) North Meets South dessert (Elaneer payasam, ghewar, rose, hibiscus, coconut jelly, and young coconut) My favorites were the Kerala Pork Belly Bao and the Paneer Pasanda. Really incredible flavors. The dessert was unique and had a fun presentation.

chef Bhavin Chhatwani put together an amazing menu that is full of flavorful Indian dishes with a modern flair and we got a bunch of dishes that he recommended based on what we told him that we like. Out of everything that we tried, my favorite items were Kerala Pork Belly Bao, Kheema Kaleji, Dal-e Tamasha with garlic naan and the Red Snapper with coastal curry. The taste of the food was as impressive as the presentation - we were oohing and ahhing over the food all night. Two IMPORTANT things to note: 1) They do have a dress code, so make sure you check that out on their website. 2) Their reservations are booked out for months, BUT you could definitely snap a bar seat at 5 when they first open if you really want to check them out soon.

Indian food?! Butter chicken is one of my personal faves but if you have never tried, go ahead and add to your list! Noted for their amazing interior design work, top notch customer service, and phenomenal food, this restaurant experience is 10/10!‍ the drinks were crafted perfectly to top it off. Pictured: Butter Chicken, Steamed Rice, Butter Naan, Yellowtail Red Snapper, Lentils

It is pricey but you do get what you pay for: upscale ambiance and service and great tasting food. My friend and I didn't make reservations but lucked out when we asked for bar seating if available. Bartender was friendly and was so ready to give us a rundown of the popular menu selections and his personal picks. I ordered the okra chaat and my friend ordered the chicken wings. Both were delicious. The taste of the chaat was complex, with pomegranate, potatoes and sprinkling of chutney. I definitely would come back even when it's a 3.5 hour drive from VA Beach! So worth it!

Wow! This spot was worth the hype. The interior is beautiful and you can tell every detail was thoughtfully considered. The space is a bit smaller than I expected, which makes sense why it's so hard to get a reservation. Our waiter Dane was super friendly and did a great job explaining the menu and answering our questions. The four cheese truffle kolcha is a great way to start. Our party also really loved the TFC (fried chicken), the chicken was super tender and flavorful. We went for their signature lentil dish the dal-e-tamasha with the flaky laccha paratha. For a large plate we tried the red snapper and it was also quite good. The sauce was light and delicious, I would have easily loved double the sauce. I had heard so many good things about the north meets south dessert so had to give it a go. It was quite delicious! Not great for sharing, but delicious nonetheless.

It is exactly the kind of place I was waiting for. Great location. And Yes it is expensive than any average Indian restaurant. But then that's the price you pay to fine dine. I tried a few things. Paneer pasanda. Very good. Dal Makhani. Mindblowing. Authentic Truffle kulcha Average. Didn't really taste much of truffle. Cocktails were also amazing. Wont go back anytime soon because $ but good to consider for special occasions.

I made my reservation as soon as I saw that Tamasha NC had opened up their reservations. Even though it was a while away, I was excited to wait! When my family and I arrived, we were warmly greeted at the door by the two hosts. We were seated immediately. Our table was near the door, so it was a bit breezy, but it wasn't too bad overall. Our server, Dane, approached us and he was very pleasant. He was kind and knowledgeable about the menu. We ordered our drinks - my husband had an Arnold Palmer, our son had a Coke, and I decided to stick with water. Dane went through the menu and recommended some of his favorites. We ended up choosing the Butter Chicken, Yellowtail Red Snapper Coastal Curry, and Butter Naan. Since our 10-year-old was with us, we decided to share the dishes. When the dishes arrived, they looked stunning. The presentation of the Red Snapper was especially impressive, and my son was amazed. I had the chance to try my husband's butter chicken, and it was absolutely delicious. While we were enjoying our meal, one of the owners came to our table to check on us. He offered our 10-year-old a lentil dish with rice, and he happily accepted. Let me tell you, that lentil dish was fantastic. We all thought the restaurant was well-done. I'm already looking forward to going back with friends to enjoy cocktails, small plates, and more. I highly recommend Tamasha. Make sure to visit their website for important information like the dress code and other details!

I absolutely enjoyed what I would describe as an Unforgettable Dining Experience at Tamasha - Modern Indian Kitchen! Located in North Hills - Raleigh NC but prepare to go on a 'vibrant sensory journey' thru Indian cuisine 'with a contemporary flair'. I loved the atmosphere, aesthetics, the creative cocktails and the deliciously presented dishes that were absolutely AMAZING The servers provided great knowledge and insight on what their favorites were and what goes into preparing each dish. My friend is vegetarian and the menu ckeary ditects you to what dishes are vegan.. vegetarian..contains nuts etc, so there are no surprises. I was able to make a 5:30 reservation for two by walking in the day before and catching a cancellation. Although valet is offered, a free parking lot is right next to it. I'm looking forward to going back and definitely suggest making reservations as this place is pretty popular for all good reasons!

After hearing numerous rave reviews about Tamasha Modern Indian Restaurant, my wife and I decided to try it out. We were excited to see if it lived up to the hype. The service was impeccable. From the moment we walked in, the staff was attentive, friendly, and professional. Our server knew the menu well and made thoughtful recommendations, with the pacing of the meal just right. The menu is undeniably upscale and unique, offering a modern twist on traditional Indian dishes. The presentation was stunning, and the chic, stylish decor set a refined tone, making it a step above other Indian restaurants in the area. However, the food was where Tamasha fell short. While beautifully presented, it lacked the depth of flavor we were hoping for. Having enjoyed many Indian restaurants in Morrisville, we found Tamasha's dishes underwhelming in comparison. The spices and flavors were muted, leaving us wanting more. The price for our dinner was $215 for two. It seems much of the cost is attributed to the vibe and atmosphere rather than the culinary excellence. Overall, Tamasha offers excellent service and a lovely ambiance, but the food didn't quite live up to the high expectations set by the reviews. While I'm glad we experienced it, it doesn't make it into my top ten. For truly flavorful Indian cuisine, I'd recommend exploring other options in Morrisville. You won't get the glamour but you'll get the flavor we are fortunate to have here.

It was very difficult to make a reservation. I had to book a table for 5 people two weeks ago but after I found out it was worthy to wait. The atmosphere was ok and I didn't have any surprise about their decor. The food has already modified to fit American style. Nothing is very spicy and I thought it was the best Indian food I've ever eaten.

Upon walking up from the parking lot, I could smell the amazing scents of Tamasha and I knew I was in for a treat. Once I stepped in the side, I was in awe at how beautiful this restaurant is. It's stunning with vibrant colors and amazing light fixtures; I love the opulence of the gold and metals throughout the design. The service was wonderful, everyone was very attentive to our needs and talked us through the menu ensuring we order the best drinks and food to suit our palettes and our needs. I ordered two mocktails, the Sloe gin faux gin and the Karasmatic kokum fizz with a little ginger. Both tasted delicious and were well balanced. My friend ordered the Sacred kiss cocktail which she let me try a small bit of it and it was was so good. Hands down one of the best cocktails I've tasted in a while. It was well balanced with the haberno, hibiscus and blanco Flavors. For food we enjoyed the following: Four Cheese Truffle Kulcha: this dish was so delicious and we enjoyed it with the mint chutney. I loved the blend of the flavors and the cheese was just enough. Tamasha Fried chicken: was super tasty! I had the snapper for dinner and my friend had the lamb shank. I loved the table side presentation for the snapper and the flavor of the sauce was so differnt and delicious. My friend's lamb was so well cooked and flavorful. We shared the north meets south dessert, I love the presentation with the sauce being poured out of the Aladdin's lamp! It was such a beautiful dessert. Overall Tamasha was an amazing dinner experience and a must try restaurant in Raleigh.

Amazing food even if you have never tried Indian food this is a must try everything we ordered was delicious. Beautiful atmosphere and very nice staff. Would definitely do again if I get the chance

My family and I made reservations and visited this restaurant in celebration of my son's 25th birthday. My son had been there when they first opened, but the remaining five of us had never been there before. Upon entering, we were met by a pleasant and professional Greeter. We were there a few minutes early so we had to wait a little while for our table to be ready. We were seated within 10 minutes after arrival. This restaurant is located in the heart of North Hills. The ambience and the environment of this restaurant are absolutely fantastic! It is definitely a modernized restaurant not just with the aesthetic, but also with the types of dishes that they offer as well as the presentation of those dishes. This restaurant really has a wonderful vibe. As we sat pondering through the menu, we were taking in the beauty of the modernized look. We ordered appetizers, small plates, large plates, and cocktails. The varying parts of our order came out in a timely manner. All dishes were scrumptious! The presentation on the plate was enchanting. All items received were delectable, moist, cooked to perfection, and had a wonderfully unique flavor. We ordered lots of different items from the menu, and we were not at all disappointed by any of it. Our server, Amy, did an awesome job taking care of our needs. She was patient, professional, had a smile on her face, and was more than happy to answer our questions. We ordered desserts to wrap up our evening. We felt like we were in heaven with how wonderful the desserts were. One highlight of our evening besides the exquisite tasting food was the birthday token dessert that was brought out to my son while they sang happy birthday to him. To say that we had a great visit at this restaurant is an understatement. We had a spectacular time and would definitely visit again. I highly recommend this restaurant!

After my dining experience here on Valentine's Day, I feel like the bar for my 5 star restaurants has risen. What I mean is if this place is a 5/5, then many of my other 5/5 ratings should be 4/5 because this place was that much further above. From the waitstaff, management, owners, chef, everyone was welcoming and went over the top. Even the five star restaurants I've been to don't offer this kind of service. The ambience is calming yet vivacious, matching the creative dishes and flavors. We tried around 10 menu items including drinks and everything just wowed. Spent over $200 on 3 people, but easily worth the experience and a place to go for special occasions

I made a reservation here a few months in advance, luckily even before they made the "most beautiful restaurant list." I was very excited to try it, but found it to be an average experience. We dined at 8pm on a Sunday. The restaurant is beautiful, but it's actually quite small, and I didn't see much that differentiated its decor from other nice restaurants. It's definitely fancy, but if it hadn't been formally crowned a "most beautiful" restaurant, I'm not sure if it would have stood out. We got the Kheema Kaleji to start - the waitress nicely described this as an "Indian sloppy Joe." It was fantastic, with wonderful layers of flavors and spices. The bread served with it was delicious, but there was only about 1/4 as much as needed for the dish (my pet peeve!) For our main, we got the lamb shank (dum ki nalli gosht). It was cooked perfectly - wonderfully fell off the bone and was so moist and tender. However, there was almost zero flavor. I was really disappointed that the sauce was so bland, especially for an Indian dish. It's served with a dip, and even the dip lacked any kind of flavor profile. I hope it was a mistake or an off night, as it definitely wasn't what we were expecting from a high caliber restaurant. For the price point, I would go elsewhere next time.

Overhyped, overhyped, overhyped..... what a disappointment!!! Everything about this place is just "OK" Decor, is nice, attitude of hostess "on point" ... but pleeeaaassseee is just nice. Just go to Bombay Curry and eat the best Indian food in Raleigh. Here you will spend a $100 and later you will go to Bombay Curry to be satisfied. Awesome marketing skills!! Charging $14 for a piece of Naan Bread with a little cheese the size of small desert plate .... I felt for it .... Should you?

I went to Tamasha over a month ago and I still think about it several times a week. I love this place. The interior is decorated with eye-catching modern art and even the booths have a cool modern aesthetic to them. The staff was also really kind and generous. We had a reservation which was delayed by a bit so the owner personally found us and offered us a free cocktail. Finally, the food was something else. It lands in that topmost tier of most delicious food that I've had eating out. The chicken Biryani had a nice spice that was balanced out by the yogurt sauce that it came with. And the butter Chicken's curry was unlike any other butter chicken I've had. If I were not out in public, I would have been licking my plate clean. The prices are a little high in terms of the amount of food that you get. But it's well worth experiencing this restaurant. I can't wait to go back

Tamasha is worth every penny. My best friend came to visit me at the end of March and we wanted a nice dinner to celebrate my pregnancy. Tamasha did not disappoint. The atmosphere and decor is beautiful. Our waitress was amazing. We told her we love all food but we're not familiar with a lot of the terms on the menu. She helped with recommendations and we were so thankful she did. Everything we had was delicious and so flavorful. They also have a lot of vegetarian options. It's definitely a special occasion spot - given the prices. But wow. We were blown away. What a great addition to Raleigh & North Hills.

Overpriced. Nice atmosphere but for the price, the food should be better. There are lots of good Indian restaurants in the area at much more reasonable prices.

I waited a while to write this review, contemplating on if I should or not. There is always this guilt of giving a bad review to someone trying to be brave enough to start something or do something new. I have to agree this place is overly hyped and does not live up to it. My brother actually rep talked me saying don't go in thinking it is your normal Indian place, think new think modern. I tried but no matter how positively I tried to think this was just not the place. The expectations were high the delivery was medicore. For first, I am sorry but what do your servers think? I am all in favor of confidence and a bit of an superior service vibe if it came with the delivery but it does not. The servers here are overly snobby thinking they have made it by being there. We arrived for the reservation and were seated, once seated I waited a total of 27 minutes before even asked for water. I was going to wait for 30 before making my exit. We were attended to 27 minutes in and I almost missed my chance on a cool, angry exit. The food we started off with Kozhi Vepudu which was succulent chicken thighs on top of mini uttampams. The chicken was overly salty a bit dry, mini what they call pancakes were okay the best part about this dish was the gunpowder style dry chutney it was sprinkled with. Also had the veg galouti nihari, was excited about this one but it turned out to be just bean paste with no flavor. For main had the butter chicken, it was sweet not the normal sweetness expected but overly sweet and strong flavor or cardamon. The chicken was cooked good but there was nothing special about this dish. The day of the serivce we were told Chef got some white spring truffles and the Mushroom Paradise we ordered would have a shaving of it. I tasted no truffles on it, actually no flavor as such. The olive, kalongi naan was nothing to rave over either. Dessert was one thing I was lookng forward to and the reason for the visit. The meal ended with disappointment, it was basically cereal with slime. I have to say I was given the bottle of wine for the glass that I ordered for the weight, but I would have gladly taken good service. Also the dessert was free for us and I would have felt guilty for it but after tasting it I was very glad I didn't have to pay for that. Paying for good food or high prices is good for special occasions but this was not worth it. There was nothind modern or Indian about this dinner. The ambiance eh its okay, nothing too wow either. Another disappointment in the book

Tamasha opened its doors less than 2 months ago and I was so excited for a modern Indian cuisine restaurant to open in Raleigh near me. I've been hearing rave reviews and now I can say I agree with them! From the interior decorating, to the food, to the service, everything was phenomenal. It's still hard to get reservations at this point so I recommend booking far in advance if you want to secure a table (although I know bar seating is first come, first serve). My personal favorites/standouts were the tamasha fried chicken and butter chicken. The tamasha fried chicken was so perfectly seasoned with Indian spices, incredibly moist inside, & crunchy on the outside. Our other appetizer was the lamb kheema kulcha - the spiced lamb and mint chutney here were great; the dish overall was very flavorful and the goat cheese added a surprise flavor I wouldn't expect in Indian cuisine. The snapper curry was yet another great dish - the depth of flavor in the yellow curry was absolutely incredible AND was poured tableside which is always a lovely touch; the snapper was well cooked, although I did get a little fish scale and I did miss a crispy skin but the wet skin was still easy to eat. The butter chicken was unreal! This was another sauce with so much depth of flavor - it was tangy yet sweet and I couldn't get enough of it. The garlic naan was thin, crispy, & light - perfect for sopping up the delicious sauces. The salted palm jaggery gelato left a bit to be desired... I wish it had more salt and palm jaggery flavor, but that didn't stop us from eating it all. Our server was GREAT - she shared in all of our excitement with our first time being there, and she provided great recommendations and explanations of the food. The timing between arrival, appetizers, and entrees was perfect and I always appreciate timeliness in service.

Just amazing! The food here is delicious and creative. I have been to many Indian restaurants and have to say this place is at the top of my list. My favorite was the dahi kebab and keema kaleji; they were my absolutely delicious with a nice cheesy, crispy and earthy, rich flavors, respectively! The chef comes from Udaipur and has training at many Taj-run restaurants. He is very friendly, knowledgeable, and we are lucky that a restaurant like this has opened by in the Triangle! I'm addition, the waitress was sweet and thoughtful. It is important to make reservations if you plan on coming here! In addition, the cost is higher than other Indian restaurants but well worth it. The ambiance was elegant and comfortable. I will be returning!

Great atmosphere and service. Everything we ate was very good, including the drinks. The owner of the restaurant made sure everyone had what was needed

The food is delightful! I do wish that the portions of naan and rice were more generous considering the price. The service was exceptional! I will definitely return!

Excellent food and service, beautiful restaurant. Be sure to order rice or naan to enjoy the saucy dishes. .

I've been anticipating the grand opening for months and everything exceeded my expectations. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by the owners who were so friendly. You can tell so much thought went into the interior of the restaurant because everything looks stunning. Now the food- highly recommend the butter chicken. Usually butter chicken sauce dominates the flavor and you don't notice the chicken but not this dish. The chicken itself was delicious and grilled to perfection. We also ordered the Tamasha Fried Chicken and immediately wanted to order more! Raleigh needed a restaurant like this! 10/10 experience overall.

Diner on a Wednesday was great. Nice atmosphere and everyone greeted us with smiles. We heard the Butter Chicken was fantastic and very different, it was! Try the smoked old fashioned, very cool presentation. Our server was awesome (Luke I think), young man that knew the menu very well. We will be back!

Horrible experience holding event in private dining room. Got through an hour presentation only to appetizer served. Guests left, orders were a mess! No clue how to handle private events!. Do not recommend! Impossible to cancel reservation. Cancelled weeks ago, only to get a reminder 24 hrs later..:the reservation still exists. Kicker is... if you cancel less then 48 hrs you get charged 20 pp, kind of crazy when the the reminder is sent 24hrs before not 48??? Very shady people! Had to call multiple times to. Get reservation cancelled!! Good luck! Spoke to the manager and chef 24 hours before that I would like to cancel and they still never did. Looking to collect free money!

Tamasha Modern Indian Restaurant in North Hills did not disappoint. Cocktails were creative and delish! The Lamb Kulcha, Butter Chicken with Garlic Naan left my taste buds dancing in my mouth #tamashamodernindian

Marco the server was amazing and well versed in everything on the menu. He gave great advice and intel. You could tell he was trained well on the cuisine. The butter chicken was great. The mushroom dish was great. I cannot recall the name of the cocktail I have in but I know it was a rye drink, but it was very good. The co-owner Mike came to check on us too. The atmosphere is great. We had a nice booth, even the bussing folks were professional.

Wow!!! About time a modern refined Indian restaurant descended on Raleigh. This place rivals the likes of Rasika in DC and elsewhere. Clean and refined Indian cuisine + imaginative cocktails all emanating with a true intentionality. And also, the bar manager Matt makes hands down the most elevated iteration of an espresso martini I have ever tasted. Don't wait.. just go and find out for yourself.

Was excited to check out Tamasha's modern rendition of Indian food, it's something that Raleigh needed, an Indian expression of haute cuisine. Unfortunately the food fall short of that aspiration. the truffle kulcha was fine, but reminded me of an average cheese quesadilla. The butter chicken had an unusual texture and was no better than your average takeout style butter chicken from a local Indian spot. The price however was more than double. I appreciate what Tamasha is trying to do, but at these prices, you really expect exceptional flavors and execution, but they unfortunately missed the mark on this night.

Best butter chicken we have ever experienced. Restaurant is beautiful and the service by Orlando was attentive and professional. We were here to celebrate our Anniversary and we were made 2 made to feel very special. Mike, the owner, made sure our experience was worthy of 5 stars!

Tamasha exceeded my expectations. The food was wonderful, and service was even better. We will definitely go back again. I think our server's name was Orlando- he is so very good at what he does. The level of service he provided reminded me of something you would see at Herons.

Food: I ordered the butter chicken, rice and butter naan. I give the butter chicken a 10/10. Rice was just simple. Butter naan a 5/10. Drink: I ordered the Queens Necklace = 9/10, the ginger was a tiny bit too much but still really good Service: 10/10, server was Sam she was so sweet. The cook even came out and asked us how our meal was as well as 1 other employee. Ambiance: 10/10

Went to Tamasha this past Friday evening to celebrate a friend's 50th in the private room. Room was beautiful and a perfect get together venue. The service was wonderful. Friendly attentive and courteous. The owner stopped in several times to check in on our group. The food, off the charts. Sampled many things on the menu with this group and enjoyed every bite. Such a great night.

I absolutely LOVED this restaurant. My friend and I went just based on appearance, but quickly fell in love with it after the interactions we had with the staff, owner and the food. As a Raleigh native, I appreciate bringing this business to the RDU area. Great place, menu was well thought out and everything was FRESH !

F*#%king delicious!! Might be the best restaurant in DC. The food is amazing as well as the staff. The owner came out to greet us. We eat out a lot all & I know excellent food. The food & cocktails are excellent

Lovely ambiance and great service. The drinks were beautifully presented and tasted lovely. However, the food was just ok. It definitely was not worth the $$$ I spent. I saw great reviews for the butter chicken, but it was just alright. The naan is small, crispy, and very flat. Would I go again? Probably not. They do have a wine room for parties that looked Instagram worthy.

Place has so much potential. Butter chicken is absolutely the best ever. Lot of other dishes, like the lamb shank mushroom entree, shouldn't be called Indian food as there is zero Indian spices in it. Worth visiting once but would not visit again .

Really nice interior design, but their food didn't match the ambiance...... the food was very bland. Their Paneer appetizer was no bueno. The Butter Chicken was the best dish we had out of all the entrees we ordered. The lamb shank was nice, but the gravy was flavourless. The wait service was very good, but the bar got backed up at some point. Won't be going back unless they improve on their food flavouring. The prices did not match the expectations. Try harder!

Waitlist is not a waitlist- even though they send you a text saying your table is ready. Waited 1.5 hours to be told they have nothing for me and make a reservation for another night.
