  I ordered the dal tadka and the mezcal paloma - both were just ok, lacking flavor overall. the lentils were watery and did not taste like much. the drink seemed to be missing some components and just tasted like watery mezcal and lime. the garlic naan however was great and I did enjoy the atmosphere. the price for the food i ordered was just not worth it unfortunately

  Overall, the food was satisfactory, but not something I would seek out. Our drinks took 30 minutes to arrive (1 beer and 2 cocktails). Drinks arrived at the same time as food, and they were not made correctly. They were also unwilling to split the check by item, which is not a huge deal, but seems reasonable as we only ordered one drink, naan, and one entree each. On the plus side, the atmosphere was very pleasant, the chairs are very comfy, and the music was appropriately loud. A solid 3.5 if I could give half ratings.

  Amrut was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The moment we walked in, we loved the ambiance and the music. They welcomed us with complimentary pani puri shots, which was such a nice touch. We ordered the sesame chicken, butter chicken, mahi-mahi, and garlic cheese naan, and everything was just delicious. The highlight was trying the apricot dessert, which tasted like a lovely mix of tres leches and fruit cobbler. Overall, it’s hard to find places that offer such a wonderful all around experience, and we’d definitely come back

  Max with Offline - We made a reservation for dinner at Amrut, and from the moment we walked in, we knew we were in for something special. The space is small in the best way. Warm, intimate, and inviting. We arrived a bit early, so we headed upstairs to relax while waiting for the rest of our party. The vibe was calm, the staff was friendly, and the attentive service set the tone for the entire evening. Starters Crispy Sesame Cauliflower The flavor was on point, but the texture leaned more sautéed than crispy. It reminded me of squash simmered in a tomato forward sauce. Still, the seasoning carried the dish and kept it enjoyable. Samosa Chaat A beautifully presented dish with just the right touch of heat. The onions added a surprising boost to the overall flavor profile. Something I have not experienced in other samosa chaat dishes. A stand out starter for sure. Chicken Soup WOW. Absolute perfection. Perfectly seasoned, with grilled chicken that tasted incredible. The veggies added the perfect balance. Truly one of the best chicken soups I have ever had. Garlic Cheese Naan Soft, cheesy, and full of flavor. A perfect pairing with all of our entrees. Main Dishes Chicken Tikka Masala The star of the show. Rich, flavorful, and incredibly balanced. Not overly spicy. Just perfectly done. My personal favorite of the night. Butter Chicken A very close second. This was authentic, deeply flavorful, and hit every note an excellent butter chicken should. Chicken Biryani (Mild) Even ordered mild, this dish packed a lot of heat. The spices were flavorful, but the intensity made it tough to fully enjoy. A great dish if you love extra spice. Chicken Vindaloo Ordered spicy, and it lived up to the expectation. Hot but flavorful, with layers of seasoning behind the heat. Overall, the spices in every dish were spot on. Every bite felt like a true taste of India. I will absolutely be returning and soon. A special shoutout to the bartender. He clearly knows his craft, mixing his own fresh juices and creating drinks that were both delicious and memorable. The staff remained attentive the entire evening, ensuring we were comfortable and enjoying every course. To top it off, Amrut is family owned, and I had the pleasure of meeting one of the owners. She was warm, welcoming, and truly hospitable. I strongly recommend visiting Amrut. Raleigh has a gem here, and I am already excited for my next visit.
