The space will boast 4,000 sqft, and its menu will be a blend of NC cuisine and South Asian dishes crafted by Rahman. The Raleigh chef aims to honor his family and provide a glance of his worldly travels through signature dishes like fish curry and crispy lentil fritters.

Additionally, Peregrine will feature a private dining room suitable for 10 guests, a cocktail bar with a direct view of the open kitchen, grand arches, and Moroccan tadelakt-finishes.
