Incredible fresh food. Even more incredible outdoor space. The courtyard that this restaurant serves is one of the most charming places I’ve ever seen. Lovely trees, lovely lighting and interesting architecture. We sat there for hours listening to the jazz band and trying out tons of things on the menu. Paneer, eggplant, and the chai were my personal favorites. Easily one of my favorite places.
Pretty mediocre experience in my opinion. The food was decently priced but far worse than the other indian restaurants in the area. I ordered the dosa, and it was pretty soggy when it came out. The sambar was okay. The other chutneys were decent as well. Not spicy enough in my opinion. I also ordered the palak paneer, and it was incredibly bland. It was also suprisingly watery. Would not go back but a nice atmosphere when seated outside. Maybe it was just the dishes I tried?
Tried Idli Sambhar here, I will say the food was good considering it was made in the US , but it was far away from the authentic Indian delicacy.
Really clever and original dishes, plus dosas, a rare treat. Exceptionally nice staff and comfortable to dine in or al fresco. My dosa was perfect, pakora, naan and terrific fried okra. Thanks for a great evening-
Can't say enough about how much I enjoyed this place. Besides the food being the best Indian I've ever had (including 2 trips to India), the atmosphere and staff/ownership is incredible! If I lived in Chapel Hill I would eat there every week. And the leftovers were amazing too. The goat curry was so, so tasty.
Stopped here on a sunny day to eat in the outdoor courtyard. Food was so fresh and flavorful, and portions were perfect to leave feeling satisfied but not over-stuffed. Also enjoyed a delicious lassi and hot chai after our meal. I look forward to seeing the dining room once it reopens, but would definitely go back just to enjoy the lovely patio experience!
My husband and I dined in the lovely courtyard. Everything was amazing! Service was unbelievably attentive and professional. The flavors and freshness were incredible. Samosas were soooo good. Also had the impressively enormous dosas. The eggplant curry was equally delicious. Best Indian food ever! We live in Raleigh, but it was worth the drive! The owner is a passionate and very talented chef! Thanks for a wonderful lunch, Vimala!
We love Vimalas for their fresh food, eclectic drinks and no fuss hospitality! Vimalas never disappoints! And best of all, the menu is surprising and experimental and keeps changing based on seasonal produce. The taste and quality of the food is guaranteed.
I cannot speak more highly of this restaurant. I try to take friends and family here every time I'm passing through. They have many dairy free and gluten free options and the food is just incredible.
