This has been my go-to Indian place for years. The food is always incredible and I've yet to go to anywhere in the area with better tasting Indian food. It's kind of on the expensive side but all Indian food kinda is. I'm sure I will keep going here for many years to come.

Great food, great music, excellent service! My mom and I come here usually during the buffet, but sometimes we get different dishes to share. Tikka masala is really good here. I order the mango lasee every time 🤤

For a weekday buffet, it’s not bad. 14.99 per person and good for beginners who are introduced to Indian cuisine. Though if you want the real thing, you should look elsewhere as flavor and quality will be elevated and taste even fresher. Other than that it was a pleasant meal to try out various dishes they had in the buffet even though there wasn’t much, they had a small amount of selection that was good enough.

Enjoyed a catered food from Dharani Express, so much. Good amount of spice and heat… authentic Indian food. I specifically loved the veg biriyani and the chicken curry. Tases good, even my children loved it!!…. Highly recommend if you want to try some good Indian food!!

Dharani Express is our go-to choice for Indian takeout. I've tried a couple others in the Triangle and I haven't found anything as flavorful yet. We usually order for pickup and the food is done in only about 20 mins usually. The staff is always very quick and attentive. Although we haven't dined in yet, we hope to do so soon. Typically, we will order the chicken korma, chicken tikka masala, chicken biryani, paneer tikka masala, and garlic naan. The curry is always flavorful, a good mix of creamy and thick. The peppers always add so much flavor to it. I like how they give a good amount of curry so that we have some for the naan. The garlic naan is unlike any other garlic naan I've tried. It's the best. So flavorful, I could eat it everyday. Additionally, they have yet to mess up one of our orders. Overall, we 100% recommend Dharani. They're fast, delicious, and have reasonable prices compared to other Indian restaurants. You have to give them a try!

Definitely a place with good Indian food. I tried the lunch menu and dinner menu at different times. Food quantity is good and feels authentic. It definitely could use a little bit more authenticity but will highly recommend the place.

I was on a short trip to Cary and I was searching for hotels for Indian cuisine. I found a few of them there and had them tasted in the first week. I was able to taste the very close South Indian food here which was great where I could hardly find elsewhere in my short trip. Most of the flavours really connect back home food except for the biryani which to a certain extent assume and understand. The buffet was too good for me. I had a welcoming experience from the restaurant people always which adds to the overall experience. If you are looking for good South Indian flavours just go for it.

A few of my go to Indian food places no longer doing buffet options. So I randomly picked this place, and I had a great meal. The place didn't look fancy, and the plate is paper plate, but the tasty food made up all the differences. I forgot the name of a few dishes, but the fried onion ball is the best I've ever eaten. The grilled chicken and the chicken tikka masala are wonderful. All tastes above my expectations. The server is very friendly and diligent. I would give a little more tips. I saved this place in my map app, and looking forward to try again soon!

It was a nice experience. The food quantity is great for the price. We ordered Malai kofta, (which comes with bowl of rice) 1 Naan and 1 Tandoori Roti. Everything was tasty. We ended up taking half gravy and the bowl of rice at home. 1 star less because I prefer the malai kofta north style little on sweet side different from the paneer butter masala type gravies. Otherwise it was good. Tandoor roti was little more crispy but naan was very nice and soft not chewy.
