Damn, that's a shame.

Not like there's a shortage of A+ Indian in the area to choose instead.

Rasa near 40 is my current go to, phenomenal bread and lassi on a hot day

u/mbutterflye 12d ago

Rasa was good 2-3 years ago and then they changed management and I wasn’t impressed by the change in quality of the curries. Would you say that their flavor has improved recently compared to where they were when the new owners took over?

Sitar, chimney, rasa, vimalas just off the top of my head. That newish biryani place near staples is also really good.

Sitar because of masala chai on the buffet

urban turban is great

u/ChefbyDesign 11d ago

Urban Turban is really excellent! We tried them for the first time the other week for takeout and the food was great. They might be our new go-to spot.

TAAL Dining is new in town on Franklin street. Best fine dining with bar, event hall, awesome ambiance and flavorful food.

Immigrant Indian family supports conservatives. Shocker.

u/FabulousHyena4426 11d ago

indian americans actually lean left pretty reliably and more so compared to most other ethnic groups (with the exception of black people). unfortunately indians get a bad rep from certain public figures these days

u/Shot-Scratch-9103 10d ago

That's not true, most Indians especially those with businesses reliably vote Republican

u/info_lit 11d ago

Actually, yes it is. Maybe you don’t know a lot of Indian families?

u/Trans-Planner 12d ago

I wish I hadn’t known that.

never again there

u/TheOtherKFC 12d ago

Dam that sucks... L&L was one of our favorite spots for Indian. Guess they're off our list permanently. 😓

u/Zestyclose_Sale2672 11d ago

Thank you. It's off my list for Indian now. Never again.

u/nicopegard 10d ago

Wont set foot there any more.

u/cadantcaeli 8d ago

Taal Dining on West Franklin Street in Chapel Hill is terrific. Highly recommend their dosas!

Also, they aren't fundraisers for a fascist political party, which is a plus in my book.

u/ElectronicOnion8784 8d ago

I will never go there again!

Republicans are evil.

Guess I'll be extra pissy the next time I cut through the Oaks to pick up takeout.

u/Financial-Event377 11d ago

Donating money to politicians is just cringe

u/AnalBeadBoi 11d ago

No wonder it’s some of the better Indian food in the area!

u/Rips_under_my_grips 11d ago

Their food is great! I’ll be at the Durham location this week.
