" I am impressed by Cheeni's innovative approach to traditional Indian food. Every dish had its own unique twist, and the cocktails were a pleasant surprise. The setting is modern yet inviting, which complements the food experience well. My only critique would be the wait time for food service; it seemed slower than I expected. Nevertheless, I would return for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Cheeni breathed fresh air into Indian dining in Durhan! The decor is modern and inviting! I couldn't get enough of the Chettinad Chicken; it was a delightful twist on tradition that had such rich flavors. Portions were generous, and I left completely satisfied after every course. Highly recommend for anyone looking to try something different and delicious! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had an incredible family dinner at Cheeni last week! The food was fresh and bursting with flavors straight from India. I highly recommend the fish curry; it melted in my mouth. Plus, the atmosphere had a delightful vibe that made dinner feel special. The only downside was that the portion sizes didn't quite match the price, but overall we felt satisfied. Will be back without a doubt! " (*Curated Review*)

" Cheeni has completely changed my perception of Indian food! The vibrant flavors and creative interpretations of traditional dishes left me stunned. I particularly loved the Lamb Vindaloo, which was packed with spices but not overwhelming. The atmosphere was lively and perfect for a night out. I can't recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having been to many Indian restaurants, Cheeni brought something new to the table. The innovative dishes like dosa waffles and their special cocktails were refreshing. The service was attentive, and I genuinely appreciated the personal touch about each dish they serve; it made the meal enjoyable. I’m excited to go back and try more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I heard so many great things about Cheeni, so I was excited to try it out. However, my experience was not as great as I'd hoped. The ambiance was nice, and the staff were friendly, but the food fell flat. My chicken curry was lukewarm and lacked the bold flavors I expect from Indian cuisine. I don’t plan on going back anytime soon unless I hear they’ve improved. " (*Curated Review*)

" Cheeni is a vibrant addition to the Durham dining scene. The atmosphere is relaxed, making it a perfect spot for conversations. The owner was charming and shared personal stories behind the menu. The food tasted great, but the portion sizes were relatively small compared to what I’d expect for the price. Overall, I’d come back again! " (*Curated Review*)
