Had such a good dinner! Prices are a little high but ambiance is great and lively (although a little loud), service was great (thanks Octavio!)-I really enjoyed the apps - I would have tried all of them but we settled on duck egg rolls which were crispy and flavored perfectly and the curry chicken bao which also had the perfect Balance - for main entree the crab fried rice , general tso chicken and the green beans all hit the spot- I would have gotten more but the prices are too steep here to go crazy- for dessert we had banana cake which was bold and rich

My bill was 112.58 cents and when I tell you it was worth every dime!!!! The services was outstanding and the food was 10, 10, 10!!! I love the low lights and for the first time, I noticed the natural light over the seating area near the bar.

On Father's Day, I treated my husband to an amazing dining experience at Brewery Bhavana, and I couldn't be happier with that decision. It had been a while since we had dined out as a family at BB, and I love their green beans. Upon our slightly tardy arrival, the host team warmly greeted us with genuine kindness and promptly ushered us to our table. The restaurant exuded the same inviting charm we remembered - bright, airy, and brimming with a lively ambiance. Being seated at the rear of the restaurant was ideal for us; I love the opportunity to observe fellow diners while eating our meal. Our server was an absolute standout. Though her name escapes me, her expertise shone through in every interaction. When my husband made a special cocktail request not listed on the menu, she spoke with the bartender, and they successfully crafted the drink to his liking. Our order included Pork and Chives Dumplings, Duck Egg Rolls, Chicken Curry Bao, the beloved Green Beans, and Shrimp Lo Mein - each dish was delicious. Every bite was a flavorful trip down memory lane, and I am already excited to return for another memorable dining experience at Brewery Bhavana.

I out four stars but it's really more 3.5. I dont understand the hype about this place. Ive dined at a countless number of restaurants and only review when I feel compelled. And this is more of a "vent". We met one of our older kids and his gf here to celebrate his bday, new jobs etc. We were sat promptly, greeted by a very nice server. Our table was flush against the front outside wall , overlooking the sidewalk...and a large trash can. And After sitting for a few minutes, i realized we could fully participate in the questionable activities taking place mere inches away, on the other side of the pane of glass. Delightful. Hey, if youre looking to score...look no further. Anyhow, i digress. We ordered more than half the menu. The kids loved everything and that made me so happy. I was...left wanting more. More "wow" and "dang that's good!" Everything was fine and nothing was amazing. Again, service was very nice. They even brought a little free celebration dessert and that elicited smiles. So yeah, go and try it as it's a well loved Raleigh staple. But DO NOT sit along that front wall.

This was our first nice dinner when we moved to Raleigh and it was our last one before we left the state. The food and the service are amazing. Love all the dumplings available and the shishito steak are our go tos. Do not snooze on their veggies and desserts. The green beans and chocolate turtle cake are delightful.

Favorite place in Raleigh! So so soooo good! There's always all not kids tho, so if you are trying to avoid them on your date night or brunch, this might not be the place. Lol

Was in town for the weekend and my friend recommended this place. It was nearby and we were lucky to get a reservation here. The team was so nice and lovely. Always taking care of us and the place inside is so cute. I believe our server was named Adam, who was kind and wonderful. The food gives comfort Asian food but with an elevated price point. It is all delicious, for sure, but wasn't sure if the price matched the food. Regardless, I would for sure come back because the food is that good!

This place is OUTSTANDING. Seriously, you must go! One of the better culinary experiences I've had in a while. It's a super unique establishment, HUGE, clean, open, and beautiful. It feels like a library, bar, upscale restaurant, and someone's home all in one. Drop in casually at the bar for one of their several distinctive beers or cocktails, or make reservations to embark on a remarkable culinary journey. Logistics: -Located in downtown Raleigh, so parking is what it is. We got lucky and found a street spot which apparently is free on the weekends!! -Reservations are a must! It was packed out at 5pm -Service: our waitress was amazing! And the sweetest! She brought a free cupcake and 3 glasses of champagne for our friend with a birthday next week. We were totally blown away. Drinks...oh man! Some of the best I've ever had. Actually, the Black Sesame Old Fashioned may have taken my top spot as best OF I've ever had! It is so smooth, no bite, and the sweet complement from the cracker is an unexpected treat. Espresso martini is creamy and delicious. Cloud cup was also yummy and the Spicy Green tasted like tacos on vacation, in a glass. Food! The moment you sit down you catch wafts of the most enticing aromas. We started with a few apps for the table: Seafood Dumplings, Shrimp & Corn Eggroll, and Duck Eggroll. They were the perfect introduction to dinner's flavors. The dumpling sauce is to die for. I despise mushrooms and this sauce I could drink. The savoriness of the umami was chef's kiss. For our mains, we had Crab Fried Rice, Shrimp & Chicken Lo Mein, Eggplant, and Green Beans. Every bite packed a powerful punch of seasoning, sauciness, and delight. The worst part about dining at BB is narrowing down what to order! Highly advise going family style and sharing everything with your fellow diners. I can't recommend this place enough!

What an experience! While the area is certainly more urban, Brewery Bhavana is worth the visit to get a cultural taste of Raleigh. Across from a park, make sure to plan ahead as there is often crowded street parking (pay for parking). Once you walk in through the entrance of the industrial brick building, you'll be welcomed by spacious rooms and tons of natural lighting. The selection of foods and beers are plentiful and absolutely tasty.

I have been wanting to come here since they opened. Just made it here and loved it. I started with the Nightlight. I don't like sweet drinks and they lessened the orgeat which made it perfect. I had the chicken bao bun which wasn't too spicy and the edamame dumplings. Everything was excellent. My son shared mine and loved it as take out. Service was amazing. Ambiance was perfect. Can't wait to return.
