Azitra - Raleigh

Absolutely love Azitra! My husband and I are both vegan and love that their vegetarian section has clearly marked vegan items on the menu and a decent selection of appetizers, entrees and desserts that fit our dietary needs. The food is delicious, well seasoned for any tastes (scale for spicy or not), with generous portions. They have an extensive global wine list and we always pick something different and are never disappointed. They also have very well crafted cocktails. We come here often and the staff recognize us and know that we are vegan, even detailing off menu items and edits we can make to some dishes to make them vegan. Love the outdoor seating area and generally upscale but comfortable setting.

Is 10 stars an option? I'm going to guess once I've had the most amazing Indian food (first time) I will never find anything else that lives up to my expectations. Saag goat chops, vindaloo lamb Brussels. I can't remember which sauce, but I had paneer foe the protein. Had mogbhi manchurian as a appetizer. It was all fabulous. Wait staff was helpful attentive.

Food is always excellent and the service staff has been energetic, friendly and helpful every time we have visited

Since we live an hour away, we hadn 't been to Azitra in a good while and were so excited to finally be going back. Their menu had changed since the last time we were there and I noticed that my favorite dish, Boti Kabob Patia, was no longer on the list (Oh no! . I asked our waiter about it and he promptly went to speak with the chef. When he returned, he pointed out that the menu had been enhanced and the name of the dish had changed to Peppercorn Mango Lamb. I was so happy! I got the Samosa appetizer and my hubby chose the Chaat Of The Day which was a delightful cold salad with potato and chickpeas drizzled with two different glazes. It was outta-this-world-good . The Vindaloo my hubby got made him smile from ear to ear and my Peppercorn Mango Lamb was delicious. The staff were attentive, but not too attentive, the food was devine and the atmosphere was peaceful. It was the best meal we 've had in quite a while. Azitra never disappoints!

The environment, hosts, and food were all good. Ashish, the assistant manager, surprised my sister with a birthday cake. Thank you.
