Modern Indian Restaurant: Tamasha
This gorgeous restaurant opened in February 2024 and Raleigh is all the better for it! Tamasha offers a modern take on Indian cuisine in a gorgeous fine-dining atmosphere. The interior glimmers and they have a swanky private dining room available to book. My favorite bites from my last visit were the crispy okra & tuk aloo chaat, the four cheese truffle kulcha, the red snapper curry, and the North Meets South dessert.

Rosewater Kitchen + Bar
Rosewater was the first restaurant in the Giorgios Group in Raleigh that is located in North Hills. Just like all the other Giorgio restaurants, Rosewater has a gorgeous design. The greenery both outside and inside makes this New American restaurant feel like a garden oasis. They serve brunch and dinner.

Las Ramblas
Another Giorgio restaurant for people looking for tapas and Spanish cuisine, Las Ramblas is named for the famous street in Barcelona. Grab a date or a group of friends and share some croquettes, pan con tomate, and patatas bravas! One of my favorite things about food is how it can transports you to a different place or time in your life. These tapas reminded me my first international trip together with Sugarface.

Giorgio Pizza Bar
And another Giorgio restaurant in North Hills! You’ll find Italian appetizers, pizzas, pastas, and more on their menu. Sugarface and I were especially obsessed with the Asian Pear and Gorgonzola cheese pizza.

Classic French Cuisine at Coquette
A longstanding establishment in North Hills, Coquette is a Raleigh classic. They are open all day for lunch, weekend brunch, and dinner. I love coming here for their French onion soup, the croissant burger, and the most amazing truffle fries. (They were also mentioned in my extensive brunch guide to the Triangle.)

bartaco keeps it fun with their secret menu
A longtime taco staple in North Carolina! My favorite tacos are their baja fish and the duck tacos. They have a fun rotating secret taco menu!

Vivace for Italian Feasts
Another Italian option in North Hills for you is Vivace. I love that they serve their breadbasket with hummus, such a unique experience! I could make an entire meal of just their bread (a la bruschetta and breadbasket and hummus). I’m glad I didn’t because I also enjoyed their seasonal salads and squid ink risotto. I am drooling just thinking about the risotto.

Happy + Hale for healthy and delicious eats and smoothies
Happy + Hale has a very health-conscious menu that always makes me feel proud of myself for incorporating self-care into my diet. Their breakfast burrito was so surprisingly flavorful. They make my favorite avocado toast in town (pro tip: add a fried egg). Your body will thank you for the time you spend at Happy + Hale.

The good kind of STIR crazy!
Stir opened with a big bang this summer! Such a great place to slurp oysters and enjoy their specialty cocktails. When you go, make the wonderstruck kid in you happy and request an ice demo.
(P.S. I loved their shrimp and grits!)

Get a bird’s–eye view from Level7
Level7 is one of my favorite hangout places. The rooftop patio has such an uplifting vibe on a pretty day. Their cocktails are always on point and they have a great snack menu.

Can’t decide between burgers and sushi? Try Cowfish Sushi Burger Bar.
I didn’t want to believe it but I’ve tried both the rolls and burgers here and they are delicious! They have bento boxes with burger sliders and rolls for you if you cannot decide between sushi or burgers. Pictured above are the truffle cheeseburger and a jalapeno and cream cheeseburger.

CO for Asian-Inspired Menu
If I could eat a regional kind of food every day of my life, it’ll have to be Asian food. CO provides an Asian inspired menu to satisfy your noodle and dumpling cravings! I quite loved these edamame dumplings from them!
