Tamasha Modern Indian

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!

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

First off, Allie and Dane behind the bar are incredible, personable and genuine humans! Chef came out to ensure food was great. He even explained the beautiful story of the crab dish. He called it a labor of love. I’ve traveled many places and am a huge foodie, this was hands down my favorite experience and food I’ve ever had. I love Indian food and this place was like nothing I’ve ever experienced before. The blend of flavors from the cocktails, entree to dessert was 11/10. I will absolutely be back and be bringing friends and family with me. Thank you Tamasha for the impeccable vibe and culture you bring to this community!

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!

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!

Everything was so tasty. The starters were perfect, our main course choices were spot on and dessert (even though we were so full) was a must. The service was great from every interaction we had and we got to meet the chef who treated us to a side of Dal-e-tamasha which ended up being my favorite thing! 10/10 would go back and recommend.

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!

This restaurant delivers flavors that are out of this world—unlike anything I’ve ever tasted before. Every dish was a masterpiece, blending bold spices and innovative techniques in a way that truly elevated the cuisine. The dessert was nothing short of a work of art. I highly recommend ordering it because there’s simply nothing like it—both visually stunning and absolutely delicious. The interior is pure elegance, with every detail thoughtfully designed, from the glassware and silverware to the table lamps and even the menus. It’s a beautifully curated space that enhances the dining experience. The only drawback was the service. Our server was friendly and wonderful, but he was stretched thin between our table and a large private party in a private dining room. The manager really should have assigned him solely to the private dining room.
