This location is in the West Asheville neighborhood and is a pretty popular place (for good reason) so do expect a wait on the weekends. They serve cat-head biscuits (which basically just means they are enormous) and have a house-made jam and butter bar!

Easily our most frequented restaurant. If you like Indian food, this a must. They have traditional dishes as well as some street food items. Downstairs is their epic bar that reminds me of Panna II in New York.

Sightseeing

Tour the historic Biltmore Estate. It was built between 1889-1895 and is the largest privately owned house in the United States, 178,926 square feet. Driving through some of their 8,000 acres of grounds alone is worth the trip.
