Wow, they have come a long way since I first ate there. Have they only been in business for a year? I know I ate their while I was still a student at State, which was almost 2 years ago. They had just opened then, although they may have closed and reopened since, because the pictures show a very different place from what I remember.

Back then it didn’t look this nice: it literally was a stove like you would find in a home and a couple of booths. I had no idea what I ordered. I just pointed and let the lady by the stove pretty much pick out what I ate. It was all wonderful and incredibly cheap. I will certainly need to revisit.

Thanks for reminding me about this place John.

Finally, some recognition. I heart the “LBC” and often sell it to skeptics as Raleigh’s premiere bodegga fare. Everything is fresh, portions are massive, and they do carry out. A very nice family run establishment…don’t forget to tip the beautiful women serving delicious food!

Thanks for puttin’ it out there John.

This is the best Indian restaurant I have ever tried. I recommend everyone to visit at least once. I will do my Wedding Catering in future from here! The food is mouth watering! It’s hard to find the real taste, but if you are looking for the real taste please visit LBC!
**Customer service is very good, and quick **

Thanks so much for covering this John. We LOVE Indian, but had never heard of this place – we will definitely be trying it out, and soon!

This place is awesome, everyone is missing out the real taste. I hope more and more people find out about this place!!!

Great find, thanks for sharing! Convenience stores and gas stations often have the hidden gems of the ethnic food world. I have shared this post with my friends and I will be sure to get over there soon. I am sad this place did not exist while I was student.

For other good vegetarian Indian food, I would recommend Tower Indian in Cary. For non-vegetarian Indian, Sitar India Palace just opened a new location in Durham and boy was it good. Saffron in Morrisville is also quality.

I just finished a take out lunch. Food was phenomenal, the ladies could not have been more sweet. I love Indian food but not being all that familiar with Pakistani food I had lots of questions about different dishes. They explained them and let me try them, all were really good. This is gem of a spot and a wonderful value. Keep up the great work girls!

i always ate at the gopaaks bazaar when i lived near it, it always had interesting food. at one point it was a jamaican kinda place that was amazing! i’ll have to go back

Glad to hear such good things about his place. I remember reading about them in the N&O sometime last summer or fall.

chicken tikka masala please

Like John, I’ve been recommending LBC to all my friends as among the best Southeast Asian food I’ve had in Raleigh. They’ve only had one or two misses – ever – in my book, and that’s after sampling most of their menu, repeatedly. Whenever the wife and I need cheering up or a great meal and don’t have the the time to cook, we’re placing a call to LBC. Egglplant dish (yum). Goat biryani (double yum). One caveat: this is really a great place if you like spicy food. If you tend to favor milder flavors, then the offerings will be a bit slimmer. On the other hand, their Mango lassi makes everything better, even and especially a mouth full of fire.

I remember reading LBC in the news and observer last week, great review! This place is really amazing. They’ve recently started these potatoe or chicken-stuffed breads that are hand made, and I love them! I think they have picked up from when they opened. Sucks that the construction is making a mess around that place, but it doesn’t stop people to still come to this place and is definitely worth it!
