Truly disappointed!…read more My experience at this restaurant was uncomfortable and disappointing. From the moment we arrived, the visit felt very different from what I would expect at a welcoming restaurant. We were greeted politely at first, but shortly after, two non-Indian customers walked in, and the waitress immediately went over to welcome them and bring them water. We had not been offered water at that point. When she eventually came to our table, she asked if we were ready to order but did not seem fully present or attentive while we were speaking. We then had to ask if we could also get water. When it was brought out, one of the glasses was broken. Later, when we pointed it out and asked for another glass of water, there was no apology or real acknowledgment, which was very disappointing. We had to keep asking for water unlike other non Indian tables. The food itself was mediocre, but the service was what made the experience unacceptable. It felt like we were treated differently compared to other guests, and that is not something I expected or appreciated. Unfortunately, I will not be visiting again.

Raj and Jamoona our servers were attentive and very friendly. The decor was pretty and colorful without going overboard. The food was just amazing and portions were shareable. Easily the best butter chicken and samosa chaat I've ever had. The mango lassi and naan were super tasty, and we also ordered the dry rub lamb, and beef biriyani. Outside of the taste, the price point was also great. Will definitely come back next time I'm in town.

Loved the fact that they respected every customization thoroughly- kids meals as non-spicy , biriyani (medium spicy) and nut allergy specifications.

Getting here was only slightly tricky, as it's not located in a strip mall or anything, but down a somewhat crummy street, in its own gated area, with a parking lot. The buffet was modest but diverse, with a fully vegetarian buffet where 90% of the options are also gluten-free. I really enjoyed the Sambhar soup, Kofta balls in tomato gravy, the spicy-pickled peppers, and the Chickpea curry. The outdoor dining area is just lovely, especially with good weather, and the temple grounds are very peaceful and enjoyable. Very reasonable price for such a relaxing and unique meal, and the staff were very friendly. My only complaint is that since we got there about an hour after lunch, some of the food had gotten a bit dry.

The food is heavenly. The ambiance is divine…read more The service is minimal - coz it's a buffet. The food leans toward Indian culturally. There's often a curry. And always amazing bread. The drinks are always nice and usually something unusual like tamarind. The best part of this restaurant is the vibe. The energy is simply amazing! They have an adorable little gifty type shop. Lots of religious type items including books and and items like purses and artwork.

Ordered Chili Paneer, Plain Dosa, Masala Dosa, Chicken Biryani, and Mango Lassi. Food arrived promptly and was hot. Dosas were uniformly crisp, the Chutney and Sambar accompaniments were on point! Even at 3/5 heat level, the Biryani was fiery yet flavorful. Interesting side note was that the Uber Eats prices for this restaurant were cheaper than in-house! The interior is whimsically decorated with desi cartoon murals, although, not sure the AC was on - was a bit stuffy in the Dallas heat. Overall the meal cost $68 with taxes - quantities were quite ample. Worth a visit while in Dallas.

Unfortunately, it's a limited menu,…read morewhich is understandable, but everything is pre-made and just sitting and waiting to be served in a bowl or on your plate. I chose the butter chicken and it was more sauce than meat, which was a disappointment, and a bottled water is $2.95--WOW.

I've been here multiple times and the quality of the ingredients is always on point. I have to admire an establishment that managed to make it through COVID at their original locations, and is still staying busy! Their packaging for their tacos is really something unique. I wish I had taken a picture of it. They have a molded plastic tray that will hold three tacos perfectly so that when you take it to go, your tacos don't get tossed around, and the ingredients from one mixed with another. Their white queso, elotes, and guacamole is excellent. The chips are nice and crunchy. Service was friendly, and the speed of getting my late-night order out was what keeps me coming back.
