A popular Indian restaurant chain with several locations in the Triangle recently expanded, but the newest outpost isn’t a copy of the others.
Lime & Lemon Indian Grill & Bar, which serves diners in Durham, Chapel Hill and Raleigh, just opened a new restaurant in Apex. The chain also operates a location under a slightly different name, Lime & Lemon Fusion Grill & Bar, in a hotel in Jacksonville. And it plans to open another Triangle restaurant in Rolesville.
Located in the Beaver Creek Crossings shopping center off U.S. Highway 64, Lime & Lemon Indian Grill & Bar features a dining room and, new to the chain, a dedicated lounge space near a 35-foot bar. The lounge includes plush seating where customers can sip drinks such as cocktails, wine and beer.
The restaurant’s menu also includes a selection of Indo-Chinese dishes, which sets it apart from the other Lime & Lemon locations.
Lime & Lemon opened Wednesday, Oct. 22 at 2025 Creekside Landing Drive in Apex. The Beaver Creek Crossings shopping center also houses restaurants including Red Robin and LongHorn Steakhouse.
Lime & Lemon Apex menu
At the Beaver Creek Crossings location, diners will find familiar Lime & Lemon dishes such as tandoori plates ($19-$26), a large selection of vegetarian entrees ($16-$20) and appetizers ($9-$17), and South Indian signatures such as dosas ($13-$20), which are crepes.
In a review of the Durham location, former News & Observer food critic Greg Cox raved about the mango lime chicken, which is available for $20 in Apex.
Naan and roti varieties flavored with butter, herbs, garlic, fruits and nuts, common across Lime & Lemon locations, are also available. Most bread choices cost $4-$7, according to the online menu.
Lime & Lemon also offers noodles and dosas for kids ($10-$12).
But the Apex location’s menu also features Szechuan noodles and fried rice, available with a choice of vegetables, egg, paneer, chicken or shrimp, priced at $18-$21. These are the restaurant’s new Indo-Chinese offerings.
For dessert, Lime & Lemon makes Orange Delight, homemade ice cream served in an orange wedge, mango-flavored rasamalai, coffee creme brulee, a brownie served warm with ice cream, and Indian-style ice cream called kulfi, available in a variety of flavors.
Specialty non-alcoholic beverages include masala chai and lassi flavored with mango, strawberry or ube, all priced at $5.
