Have to say that the high ratings for NaanStop are consistent with my experience, both carry out and eating in. Food is super flavorful and delicious. When eat in, server is super friendly and helpful re menu questions. Whenever family visits from out of town, we almost always get NaanStop carry out. 100% recommended if eating Indian cuisine in Durham, NC :)

Lunch buffet is amazing. My favorite Indian food in all of Durham, and better than the places I've been to in Atlanta, Charlotte, and Winston-Salem! Props to the server who remembered that I love red onion chutney and brought it to me without me asking. So happy!

Everything on the buffet was excellent. Unassuming star of the show was the lentil soup...phenomenal flavor! Drove 5 hours for an appointment nearby and we were so glad to find this spot for lunch. Highly recommend the lunch buffet if you're in the area.

Traveling and was looking for a great meal. I FOUND IT! Quite possibly the best Indian good I’ve ever had. The chicken tzatziki masala was unbelievable. Highly recommend.
