Bamboo House Chinese Restaurant, Durham, NC

Though the name has "chinese" in it, its actually an Indian-Chinese restaurant. The best in its kind I have been to so far in the US. Every dish I have tasted there was delectable. Though I have been going to some good Indian-Chinese spots in Long Island now, I really pine to dine at the Bamboo.

Spice & Curry, Durham, NC

This was my favorite Indian restaurant while working in Raleigh. Food is really very delicious. During lunch buffets the place is packed to capacity any given day. The "chilli chicken" seemed to be every one's fav. Hot dosas during lunch buffets on weekends are on the house.
It also has an Indian grocery store attached to it. They even rent out desi movies.If you are in RTP, the place is strongly recommended. Visit their website for more info.

Akbar restaurant, Garden city, NY

I am fond of the place. More so because I had my wedding in their Banquet hall. Not just that. The food is awesome there, especially the north Indian stuff. And the interiors are classy.Vist their website for more info.

Sarvana Bhavan, NYC

Sarvana Bhavan which is so good back in TamilNadu is pathetic here in Lex ave, NYC. The rates are high and quality really low. The service too is nothing to talk about. I was deeply dissatisfied with it. Probably coz I went with high expectations for what Saravana Bhavan is reputed for.
