    Had lunch after the NC Museum of Art. Great beer selection and appetizers. Not too hot on the spices (we don't like the hotness to take away from the overall flavor). Shrimp with the Korma sauce was excellent and the Naan was just slightly crispy. All in all, an excellent meal.

    The ambiance was great - excellent design inside, great looking bar, very clean. Very hot tempwise, and when asked about the temp the answer was “we don’t have the key and there’s no manager here.” The food - was alright, many choices both veg and non veg. Samosa was good, very crispy and flavorful. The cucumber salad was alright but has a ton of cilantro in it, which was a problem later. We had the chicken tikka masala medium and the paneer tikka masala medium hot. The chicken was ok, what I would call standard, not exceptional. The paneer gravy was better and maybe a hair spicier than the chicken, but neither were spicy. Also standard. The regular naan was good. The service - the big problem here. We scoped the menu to see what had cilantro listed on them, and only 3 dishes called it out specifically. After 10 minutes of watching the staff attend other tables, I flagged someone down to give our order to. While ordering we checked whether the samosa, the masalas, and the naan had cilantro on it, and were told they did not. We did not check about the salad, but after it didn’t say anything about it on the menu we figured it would be ok. Unfortunately, it came with cilantro. The next time we saw a waiter was when they were delivering the food. We were asked about the salad and mentioned that it came with cilantro, no big deal, miscommunication. The rest of the meal went fine until the end. All quotes are paraphrased: The waiter came to clear the table and then suggested “if you had told us beforehand we would have taken the cilantro off”. We mentioned we tried on the others and just forgot, not a big deal though. He cleared a few plates and left. Then he came back again with the check and said “you know at Indian and Mexican restaurants they use a lot of cilantro, if you’d said.” we had to cut him off, mentioned again that we tried and it was a mistake, can you please run the check. After the third time he came over, we paid and bailed. Won’t be back.

    What a gem! So many Indian restaurants in Cary/Apex/Morrisville to choose from, but Nazara is by far, our favorite. Every dish is spot on, perfectly seasoned and a feast for the eyes as well as the mouth.

    I have been going to Nazara on a regular basis for about 2 years. The food has always been outstanding! The service is wonderful as well. I was sad to learn yesterday that some of the staff is being laud off. Especially our normal waiter, Raj. He has always made our dining experience special!
