Thai Cafe is real good- I've been twice. First time on their third day- 
the owners were there, a couple who'd run three or four Thai places in 
Atlanta. They'd just retired, but a relative attending Duke convinced 
them that Durham needed a Thai place. They're hanging around, living 
collectively with Thai nationals they brought over, until the place is 
running smoothly. I did a phone order a few weeks later, and there was 
some language barrier, so we didn't get exactly what we wanted, but it 
was still yummy.

Kashmir is decent too, though not flat-out-wow like Sitar, a short jaunt 
away. Pakoras are very good, Tandoori is fine. And they deliver.

I'll add another vote for Chai's on Erwin. Its great deal- kinda like a 
low-budget Pao Lim- excellent ingredients, and a pan Asian approach. The 
tempura udon is my favorite.
