Kasturi Indian Cuisine

This place provides an absolutely unparalleled Indian dining experience that begins with its great atmosphere, featuring sophisticated décor and tranquil lighting. Beyond the beautiful setting, the friendly staff delivers service that is both attentive and knowledgeable, ensuring every guest feels like an honored visitor. The real revelation, however, is the food, which is nothing short of transcendent—it is, without exaggeration, the best food in the world. Each dish, from the creamy Butter Chicken to the spicy Vindaloo, is a balanced masterpiece crafted with passion and skill. This restaurant is an extraordinary find and a required pilgrimage for anyone seeking perfect food and genuine hospitality.

18% Gratuity Added Automatically — Even for a Small Family Table Visited a restaurant recently with 4 adults and 1 child, and an 18% service fee was automatically added to the bill without any prior notice or discussion. This felt surprising considering the overall experience: • Restroom was not clean • Food quantity was quite small for the price • Tawa Chicken was disappointing • Biriyani portion was very limited We walked in hungry and unfortunately walked out still feeling hungry due to the portion size relative to the price. When 18% is automatically added, it essentially assumes good service by default, which did not match the experience in this case. For context, the typical tipping standards in the U.S. are: Service Quality Tip Percentage Poor service 10–12% Average service 1

Here’s a polished, short Google review you can post 👍 > **Great experience today at Katsuri Indian Restaurant in Greenville, NC!** The service was excellent—special thanks to Sahil, who was very respectful, attentive, and welcoming. The food was delicious and truly made me feel like I was back in India. I’ve tried the weekday buffet before and it wasn’t that impressive, but today they absolutely rocked it. Amazing food and outstanding service. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you want it even shorter or more casual, I can tweak it.

Came here Saturday night for a date night with my boyfriend, and safe to say it’s our new go to spot. We were immediately greeted at the door and sat at a clean, nicely presented table in the dining room where we were given water and complimentary masala papadum (crackers and dips) to nibble on while we looked over the menus. We ordered the meat samosas, chicken kadhai, chicken manchurian, and garlic naan. Everything was beyond delicious, flavorful, and very fairly priced. After we ate we played pool at the table next door, where we discovered you can order from Katsuri and eat there (I believe it’s connected via the kitchen), but we loved the vibe of the restaurant itself, so we will definitely continue to dine in. Can’t wait to try out the lunch buffet as well! 10/10 experience.

Dinner was excellent! We enjoyed the complimentary "crackers" & chutneys a lot. The lamb korma was tasty. I got a level 3, it was just enough spice but didn't overpower the other flavors. The lamb achari was fantastic! Hubs got level 5; which was perfect for him. Both dishes lamb was cooked perfectly. We definitely recommend it & will be returning.
