Paradise India Cuisine (Previously Kandas) Open in Morrisville, NC
Kandas Indian restaurant closed few months back and there were rumors that Kandas was sold to Biryani House. But, I noticed new Paradise India Cuisine opened at same location.
I’m not sure if Kandas is renamed as Paradise India Cuisine or Paradise is opened under new management. Hopefully Paradise India Cuisine will have tasty food and better customer service.
Zayka Indian Restaurant – Brier Creek, Raleigh – Review
I heard from 4 to 5 friends about Zyka Indian Restaurant in Brier Creek, Raleigh. So, I went with 3 of my teammates for lunch. Here is my review of my experience after having lunch at Zyka Indian Cuisine.
- Good Ambiance.
- Looks like they are competing with Azitra Indian Restaurant in Brier Creek
- Not sure if same owner runs both restaurants, because both Zyka (Zyka.us) and Azitra(azitra.us) website has (.) us top level domain.
- If its run by two different company, I wouldn’t create website TLD that matches the competitor.
- I was not impressed with the food overall.
- Food varieties was very less ( comparing to Tower, Spice and Curry, Udipi)
- It has an high end appeal for formal dining.
- Attracting typical Indian family is tough with high end fine dining
- Food was not expensive compared to Azitra.
- Taste was decent.
So the main turn off was less number of food varieties. Not a typical restaurant where families with kids will plan to go out for lunch or dinner. With Cafe Curry Leaves Morrisville, we had the feeling to go back and give it a try after few months, but I don’t have that feeling with Zyka India Restaurant. It was hard to spend even few seconds in their website. Bright red color is not the pleasing color to have a site.

Kandas Indian Restaurant – Morrisville, NC
Kandas Indian Restaurant located t 10255 Chapel Hill Road (Hwy. 54), Morrisville, NC 27560 is now closed for over 3 weeks for renovation. We usually get togo from Kandas than dining-in at the restaurant.
We called to order food 3 weeks back and no one answered the phone, so we called Tower to check if Kandas was open, they informed that it will be closed for about 01 days.
They could have atleast set a automated message to inform customers calling the restaurant about closing. Well, that’s the difference between Indian and America Restaurants, we can’t expect anything more.
Review – Cafe Curry Leaves, Morrisville, NC
Cafe Curry Leaves – Indian Vegetarian restaurant opened 2 weeks back and we had dinner at Cafe Curry Leaves last night.
Review – Cafe Curry Leaves
- Food Taste – 4/10 ( Better than Rajbhog, Sambar had less salt and Spicy Chutney was good)
- Food Quality – 4.5/10 ( Idly was cold )
- Ambiance – 6/10
- Service - 3/10 ( Definitely need more waiter, Not all menu items were available. )
- Visit Again? – Will try once more after few months.
It would be good to have one more waiter to take the order and seat the customers. When we walked-in, it took a while to figure out, if we have to order the food (as in Cool Breeze) or Waiter will get order from the table.

Now Open – Cafe Curry Leaves at Morrisville, NC
Cafe Curry Leaves – New Indian Vegetarian restaurant is now open in Grace Park Complex located at intersection Davis Drive and Morrisville Carpenter Road ( behind Quizos, Starbucks). I’m sure after disappointing food at Rajbhog at Morrisville, if Curry Leaves can serve tasty vegetarian south India food and Chaat, it will a big hit among residents of Cary and Morrisville.

Flashing Yellow Arrows for Left Turns at 5 Intersections in Cary
I was reading he BUD Newsletter and came to know about new Flashing Arrows to be used for left turns at 5 intersections in Cary. Changing anything with respect to traffic signals will have an impact. For someone who is going to see that flashing arrow for the first time will not know what to do and how to proceed.
Details of Flashing Arrows
- 4 Vertical lights
- Solid Red Arrow
- Solid Yellow Arrow
- Flashing Yellow Arrow – Left turns are allowed, but first yield to oncoming traffic
- Solid Green Arrow
Proposed Intersections in Cary
- Cary Parkwat and Kildaire Farm
- Cary Parkway and Bond Lake Dr
- Kildaire Farm and Ten Ten Rd
- SE Maynard and Cary Towne Blvd
- Walnut St at US 64
But, when I make a left turn, on the signal that has Yield to Green or flashing yellow, I’m going to lookout for oncoming traffic. Every driver will have to do that and will do that. Accidents will happen if they are not attentive. It will be interesting to see the impact on drivers thoughts and mindset of the new change.

Indian Grocery Stores at Morrisville
Recently Morrisville has been benefited with so many Indian grocery stores and each one compliments the other which has benefited the public. Here goes the list
- KADAMBAM SPICES – Kadambam spices provides with a wide variety of choices in frozen items, snacks, rice, wheat, lentils et. The freshly made sweets available near the cash register are tempting.c
- SANGAM MART - Sangam mart is a good competitor and is the best in fresh vegetables. There are a lot of choices available for veggies and they supply almost everything that is available in India. The reward programe that they started few years back gets is very inviting.
- VGS Mart : VGS is a decent place to shop for Indian Groceries. Though there are not many good reviews about the store it might come handy for a quick grocery run. Now renamed to Carolina Indian Store.
- APNA BAZAR : Apna Bazar has recently stepped into the competition and so far doing a good job. It also has a biggest collection of Indian Movies that can be rented or purchased.Sale items being updated in the website helps to make the shopping smarter.
We prefer to go to Sangam or Kadambam. Till now we never had thought of going to VGS or Apna Baza,r when we think of buying Indian Grocery items.
