Love this restaurant. Great seating options - inside restaurant, inside bar, semi-outside and fully outside. Excellent options for larger parties as well. Food is always excellent as well as service. We are frequent customers - my favorite spot in Wake Forest.

Irregardless has been one of my favorite restaurants for decades. The food and service are consistently outstanding. The lemon tahini salad dressing alone is worth the visit!

Wonderful restaurant. Our second time eating here. The food is phenomenal. We shared bhindi, dal and eggplant curries with garlic naan and the beetroot appetizer. Everything was super flavorful. Service was amazing. This has become our favorite spot for Indian cuisine.
