Best Casual Restaurants in Wake Forest

We had a great time. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. All of our food was perfectly cooked, and the chef and server did a great job with the kids who were at our table. I will definitely be back.

I almost can’t even put into words how amazing this restaurant is. The atmosphere is elegant yet chic, with modern decor, comforting colors, and a warm ambiance. We were greeted by our fantastic server Nick, he was knowledgeable, friendly, and inviting. We choose an array of tapas ranging from the NC goat cheese dip to the seared tuna, Peruvian chicken to the foie gras crème brûlée, mushroom ravioli to the crispy potatoes and while absolutely everything was an amazing explosion of deliciousness to the taste buds, my mother and I both agreed that our favorites of the evening would be the arancini balls- this one being a spin on thanksgiving flavors, the wagyu empanada and the burrataTouille. We ended our evening with the decadent chocolate mousse and pear pecan pie both being melt in your mouth delicious- a perfectly sweet way to finish. Seriously fantastic food by the creative and well trained chefs of the kitchen. Not to mention chef Serge with his years of experience and wisdom would not disappoint with his combination of fresh ingredients and tasty flavors. The variety is enough for anyone with any type of palate or dietary preferences. With the portions being just enough to enjoy multiple options without getting bored of eating the same thing and not feeling like a whale when leaving. We paired our meal with a fabulous blackberry mocktail and the ship down cocktail which was warm, tasty, and easy to drink. This place was a wonderful experience appropriate for any occasion or event and when I say this will not be the last time I come here I mean that, my only regret is not coming sooner. Thank you so much Chef Serge, Nick and all the wonderful staff who made our evening out so special.

This was our first trip to Masala House, which is to be expected since it's only been open a short while. When we arrived, we were seated right away and drink orders were taken. This is probably the only negative thing of our visit, they only serve soft drinks in a can, so we just had water. We started off with an appetizer called Mo Mo Chicken. They were dumplings filled with spiced chicken, they were awesome. For our entree's my wife chose the Chicken Chili Karahi at a spice level 2 out of 5. She said it was very good and the chicken was tender and the perfect level of spice for her. I ordered the Lamb Tikki Masala at a spice level of 3, but should have gone to a 4. It too was very good. Both dishes came out in little bowls and small plate of jasmine rice for us to share between the two of us. The food was plentiful, we had leftovers. The service was very good, they kept our water glasses full. I really like that you can pick your spice level of your food. We will make a return trip to Masala's the next time we are in the mood for Indian food.

Wonderful experience Great food, outstanding service Will return

It was our first time eating at Lazeez. The food & experience exceeded our expectations. We definitely plan to return & try more delicious dishes on their menu.
