Needed a quick bite on a Thursday evening. I was able to order online and pick up my food in about 10 minutes. The workers were nice when I arrived. The prices were average. I got the paneer tikka and really liked! It has onions with it and I enjoyed it. It was a lot of food. I could've gotten two meals for ~$16. Wish there was a little more rice and the flavors were a little more rich but that's okay. Very filling!

Absolutely my favorite Indian food in the Triangle! I discovered Dharani Express last year and it's my go to restaurant when curry cravings hit. The food is so flavorful, spicy, and you'll come across whole spices while enjoying your dish. The restaurant isn't fancy but service is great and the food will have you coming back for more. My friend and I shared palak paneer, lamb vindaloo & Chicken Tikka Masala and we each had enough leftovers for another meal. Don't hesitate to check it out!

We were in the area, and wanted Buffet style meal. Close by is Dhanarani Express. The interior is comfy, and there is plenty of seating. It' directly parallel to the Direct Auto Insurance if you don't see it right away pulling in. They offer take out and a full menu other than their buffet. I love Indian food so I said yes. Got here first thing at 11:30 and were immediately let in and led to our table. Our server told us to give them ten minutes to have the full buffet up. We patiently waited, and it was WORTH the wait. Everything you see on my plate was delicious, flavorful, and a tad spicy. To be expected though. They get great reviews for a reason.

The Roti was more like Nan. It wasn't light, buttery and flaky, as I am accustomed being an Island girl. Man, I will have to fly to Fort Lauderdale and bring back Roti. Disappointed. This comment is on the Roti only as that is the main thing I went for at the time. Will go back and try the curry because the smells coming from the kitchen was divine.

Good Food! Great service! Nice Ambiance.! A little bit of music brings me to the mood, food came swinging hot, and I almost burnt my tongue.

I arrived a bit before Dharani Express was officially open. I was welcomed and seated to what became a wonderful food experience and getting to know the people that work there. But first, the food. I ordered vegetable biryani. I love the spices in this food. This was alive with taste that far surpass most popular Indian restaurants that cater to the middle of the road palates. The person that waited on me was so cordial and helpful in selecting a dish (menu is so varied a guide is helpful and that's a plus).Let me close by saying that i would drive fromWilmington to Raleigh just to eat here again.

I've tried many Indian places in the Raleigh area and nothing has compared to this place, it's amazing. If you're thinking about ordering Indian, I definitely recommend this place!

Stopped for dinner and was very pleased with the food and service. Even my very picky and spice-intolerant 2nd grader enjoyed her meal. She and my wife did get surprised by one dipping sauce that didn't taste spicy until a little after they first tried it. Thankfully they had some milk for them.

Most consistent Indian lunch buffet. Not too many items, but not a single one of the items was a letdown. For dinner, their meat is great, the flavor is great, but portion sizes are just a bit too small for me. Also, their naan is good, but expensive. Overall best Indian place near NCSU
