Cleanliness 4/5 - The glasses were cleaned, however there were fingerprints from oily hands all over the utensils. A quick wipe from the napkin and they were gone, despite being a bit disconcerting. Service 5/5 - The waitresses and waiters work hard and fast to ensure your drinks are kept filled and that you are satisfied. Prices 4/5 - I have sampled both single dinner entree prices and the weekend lunch buffet price as well. $12.99 for weekend buffet. $8.99 for weekday lunch buffet. Single entree Dinner prices in the low teens. Typically youll find most plates are $14+. Im frugal and will stick to buffet prices whenever I can make the time. But by dinner, its too expensive for my tastes. Quality 5/5 - If you want spicy, you will find it here. If you want fair prices, come for the weekday lunch buffet. The service is on par and the food is authentic and incredibly delicious. Dinner plates for single entree dishes shoot through the roof. That may be okay for some more than it is for most.

After reading the other reviews we decided to give this place a try - and Im so glad we did. We moved from Morrisville a few years ago and since then have been sorely missing the variety of cuisine that living closer to town offers. Location is convenient, the interior well-appointed - modern and clean yet still intimate; even with soft music, it still allowed for a pleasant dining experience. Wait staff was attentive and the food absolutely delicious. We enjoyed hot (temp) lamb samosas with onion, mint and tamarind chutneys (the latter which I could just eat straight with a spoon), a mild lamb biryani with fresh raita and cold, sweet mango custard for dessert. We shared one order and our waiter (the son of the owner) even split it into separate dishes for us. Certainly hoping this restaurant flourishes - this just might become our default go-to when we say, "lets eat out".

Our family of 6 ate here last night. Except for my husband, we all LOVE Indian and are thrilled we dont have to drive 30 minutes to eat it now. Every dish we had was impressive. even my husband liked a couple of them and he HATES Indian food. We ordered an assorted bread basket, Saag Masala (mild and medium heat). My "Mild" lover, she said it was the best shes ever had which says a lot because we have eaten at over a dozen different Indian restaurants in Cary and Raleigh. We also ordered spicy Jalfrezi with large shrimp, Beef and Chicken Shahi Koorma, and Butter Masala which was our only disappointment ... it seemed a bit too acidic ("tomatoey"). Then we shared desserts of Rice pudding and Rasmalai. But we unanimously felt like all our dishes were perfectly seasoned. Goodness, even their rice just rocked!!! Well done, Zeera! We hope Fuquay discovers another hidden gem!

Wonderful addition to Fuquay. Mr Ash, his family and staff have brought a warm Indian oasis to our bustling town. Their hospitality is second only to their age old recipes. The venue is open and clean, the tables have the same inviting feel. Waitstaff seems to be knowledgeable, the things they dont know they are willing to seek the answer out without any extra effort. The management is present in a positive way. Their table touches are personal and make you feel as if youre a guest in their home. Visiting Zeera should be a priority for your week, as a little dinner vacation could be right inside.

The food was very tasty. The service was slow, but attentive. As they havent been open a week, I can be patient while they work out the details. The onion pakora was good, though greasy, as if the fryer wasnt hot enough. The same was true of the poori. The butter masala and chicken saag we both very good. They are gluten-aware, and can tell you what foods are safe to eat. Im interested in trying the buffet, and will certainly be back for dinner. Their price point is a bit high for Fuquay, generally speaking, though on par with similar casual dining places in the greater Triangle Area.

Excellent Indian restaurant that I have come back to several times. Having grown up in the virtual capital of the world for Indian food (England) and being married into a part Indian family I feel somewhat qualified to speak to the quality and authenticity of what Zeera provide. Excellent blends of flavors and a good range of spice levels. I have yet to try the buffet but the evening menu, while not huge, is excellent. Zeera is my absolute go-to place to satiate my desires for classic and authentic Indian. Service is good too which always helps. Ill update if I ever try the buffet..

We have ordered Dum Hyderabadi Chicken Biryani, Malai Kofta, and Paneer Tikka Masala for pick up from this restaurant. When we opened the box, they did not give raitha to go with biryani and since I am from Hyderabad, India, the biryani we ordered is not at all dum biryani. And when we called them to find out, the receptionist said they dont have Dum Hyderabadi Chicken Biryani in their menu. The amount of curries we received was very less for the price we paid. I think this restaurant is too pricey and still need to learn more about talking to their customers.

Was excited to try this restaurant as i love Indian food and struggle to find good restaurants in the area. Zeera was outstanding , service and atmosphere was amazing. There is nothing like having a great curry accompanied by a smooth Indian lager. I had the vindaloo which is one of my favorite curries, I have always struggled to find one in the USA that is authentic......the right flavor and HOT(spicy). This one fit the bill......outstanding! Many regular check ins will now follow. Santos, our server, was awesome.

Fantastic food, great ambiance, and affordable prices. Best Indian food around. Lunch buffet: best value. $8.99 and all you can eat. Food is well seasoned and very tasty, but not very authentic or spicy. It is made less hot for American palates Dinner plate: Much more pricy, but can be made to order and much more authentic and personal. Can be ordered mild, medium, or Indian hot, depending on preference. Very good value, very good service, great food. They keep impressing me every time I eat there.

We are mid-eastern cooks: Pleasant atmosphere, clean and inviting, prices were good. However, the food was a bit bland if you want ethnic Indian food. And the Basmati rice was a cheaper version of the aromatic extra long grain. Maybe they thought not to spice it up due to patrons palates but it defeats the purpose of the food. Also, the chicken was all dark meat and the lamb was tough and had a bit of fat. They need to stew the lamb a bit longer to make it more palatable.

Been looking for a decent Indian restaurant in North Carolina for well over ten years from moving here from England. Have tried many establishments and to no avail, came to this restaurant with low expectations but was more then pleasantly surprised. Food was very high standard service was excellent and establishment was very clean 5 out of 5 would definitely recommend

Great place to eat at. The staff our very friendly as well as attentive to your needs. The atomosphere is family friendly. Its never overly loud and the food is always good have yet to have a dish that I was not happy with. Over all this is a quality place to dine at an affordable price. I would highly recommend it to anyone. You will not be disappointed.
