I'll start off with that's good chaat! (My catchphrase while eating at Shivas)…read more Highly recommend stopping by Shivas if you're in or visiting Dallas. 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.

Came to Dallas during FIFA and came across this downtown restaurant as it was one of the closest…read moreones near our stay . Loved the fact that they respected every customization thoroughly- kids meals as non-spicy , biriyani (medium spicy) and nut allergy specifications. The naan was packaged in a way it was still soft for our takeout order.. Food was nice(localized flavor ), but quantities were not much for the price (probably due to the downtown location ?!).

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.

We have been wanting try Elephant for a while. We finally had time to go sit down for lunch!…read more The restaurant itself is adorable. So colorful and inviting. Our service was great. Water constantly refilled. The food was like a flavor bomb in your mouth. We ordered the Saag with spice level of 3. We could have went higher but boy was it yummy. The Tandoori Chicken (Bone-in), heat level 3 was perfect. And then we tried one of the Indo-Chinese dishes, Mixed Fried Rice. It was light and full of fresh vegetables and pieces of Chicken and Shrimp. We all very much enjoyed Elephant and will be returning soon.

I wouldn't recommend eating inside just because it's not a really nicely decorated restaurant. It's old nevertheless the food was decent and I really enjoyed the vegetable rice. However, we asked for a cup of ice to drink with our soda and they say that they did not have any ice. The price of the food is decent for a family of three we spent 60 bucks which is about $20 a person.

Wow. Very impressive little place. Naan was great. Vindalo, Korma and butter masala's very good…read more Well worth it.

A hidden gem in downtown Dallas. Open until midnight, the restaurant is tiny but serves tasty…read moreHyderabadi style food. 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.

We popped in on Mother's Day. Didn't have a reservation but we didn't have a hard time getting in…read more The service is decent but they didn't have a bartender working so we couldn't try any of their cocktails (seems like a big missed revenue opportunity!). We got several dishes and we even got one dish where they clearly messed up the recipe. The Laal maas we ordered was super sweet and tasted like it had ketchup as a base. The good thing was we told our waiter and he quickly sent a manager out to make things right. They expedited a replacement and they didn't make an issue of it at all. We also got the salmon, butter chicken, naan, and some appetizers. All the food was tasty and the staff was approachable as well. The prices are a bit high for a strip mall Indian restaurant but the ambiance is decent inside.

The appetizer was the raw mango salad that was very refreshing and the sweetness was balanced by the hot pepper. The entrees Butter Chicken was absolutely delicious, smooth creamy and the seasoning was perfect, you will use all of your Naan dipping it in the sauce. The Chicken Tikka Masala had an excellent depth of flavor chicken was so tender, another great dish. Great start to our Dallas food adventure.

The Pakistani woman who appears to be in charge was rude and came across as unprofessional. Her tone toward customers felt disrespectful and made the interaction uncomfortable. I hope this is addressed, as a more courteous and respectful attitude toward both staff and customers would greatly improve the overall experience.
