This was the first time we visited this premise. We found the grocery and veggies section very clean and hygienic and the prices seemed very reasonable for the items being sold. We also visiting the food court and the clean and hygienic theme continued! We got some samosas and they were freshly prepared and very crispy and tasty! Service too was quick and efficient . We will be back soon ! read more

Desi District - Entrance 1 - to the food court - Indian Near Me - Frisco, Texas

The only reason I love coming back to Desi District is for their samosas they are so delicious & fresh I can't get enough of that...plus they also give deep fry green chillies along with tamarind chutney....that's how I have always eaten & enjoyed it during my teenage years ... brings back lots of memories for me. That's a whole different experience!!! This review is only based on my Togo experience have not tried eating anything else from their various food options from the menu... Their customer service is friendly . They also have grocery & meat section. Would love to come back to try their breakfast/lunch/dinner options. Love their decor. read more

What a fun eatery! We got there and took a stroll around the grocery section before ordering. We got 3 samosas and mutton biryani (medium heat), had about a 10 min wait before our name was called. We sat down to have a taste because we couldn't wait, boy we were glad we did! The mutton is really lean, soft and very flavorful, nice with the heat. I loved the samosas dipped in the sauce it comes with. I just wish they were heated up, they were lukewarm. Nevertheless, I devoured my samosa no problem. Will have to come back for the ice cream, you have to ask what flavors they have because the tubs are not labeled. For sure I would love to try the biscoff cookie one. They also have dosa so I'll be back to get one! read more

Desi District - Samosa (3 Pcs) - Indian Near Me - Frisco, Texas

The quick and dirty, because this is going to be a long one - GO EAT AT DESI DISTRICT (Prosper). Staff are super friendly, restaurant is clean, food is delicious. [Review is truncated b/c too long for Yelp - LOL] They have a counter service restaurant area, bakery area, upstairs special events area, and store. There might be more beyond the market, but we didn't have time this trip to walk around. We'll be back to peruse the market aisles and see what else they have to offer. {Insert emoji of excited face and clapping hands } I wanted to try and sample as much as possible on our first visit and being Saturday, I was lucky to be able to have the Vindhu Bhojanam (only offered Sat & Sun 12-3pm). It was being served upstairs in a loft-like area that looks like it is used for special events. I can't wait to tell you about it.... But first, hubby's meal: Hubby ordered the Mutton-Dum Biryani and Bullet Naan with Thums Up cola (Indian Coca Cola --- I don't really like Coca Cola, but this was pretty good, less sweet). The staff member who was helping us was so friendly and helped explain the differences between the different styles of biryani. We have never had so many options/styles to choose from at one place!! When hubby saw 3 (or was it 4) different goat biryani his eyes got wide and he was smiling ear to ear. The biryani was excellent - the rice was flavorful and tender and the meat fell off the bone and melted in your mouth. The naan was buttery and spicy from the chilis [just the way we like it]. After waiting and receiving hubby's food we ventured upstairs where the VB was being served. VB translates to "festive/ceremonial lunch" and boy did I enjoy it!! Hubby and I (they let him take his food up there to eat with me) were the minority diners in this area but this didn't stop me - I LOVE Indian cuisine and I wanted to find something new to try. You sit down, pay for the VB, and then they bring a platter and start filling it up with small portions of everything they are serving. I'm quite certain I did not receive everything in the flyer, but I had more than enough. Ok, let me see if I can remember it all ... Sorry, I don't know the names for everything and didn't think to take a photo of the flyer. Here goes: (1) White/basmati rice; (2) Lemon rice (yellow, had peanuts and red chilies --- YUM); (3) Chicken biryani (after hearing the differences in the styles from downstairs, I think this was "Special" chicken biryani); (4) A goat curry (so good it made my eyes roll to the back of my head); (5) A chicken curry or pulao (again, eyes to the back of my head); (6) A fish pulusu (white fish, not sure what kind; one piece was dry which I thought was strange given it was a curry/soaked in sauce, but it was so Delicious!); (7) Pickled items - Indian pickles and pickled spinach (I think) helped 'cleanse' your palate between all the rich curries; (8) Fry bread - I wish they would have served naan or roti to give you a break from the greasy (not in a bad way) richness of the curries; (9) A batter-fried Serrano pepper appetizer; (10) 2 different dry spice blends that I sprinkled on the white rice; (11) A sweet orange rice (?) that had cashews (YUM - they gave you more of this when it was time for dessert); (12) Fryums (I think they make these from scratch!! They were way more buttery and light and crispy than I have had elsewhere. A surprising delight that I thought was going to just be a way for them to "pad" the platter with extra stuff); (13) Yogurt - it was just plain yogurt but was AMAZING. I could eat that yogurt all day! Another essential respite for the spiciness of the curries (my mouth and lips were on fire in the most pleasing way - I'm crazy I know - I truly enjoy the torture of insanely spicy foods!!! ). Oh, I forgot the "Welcome drink" - (14) a fermented dairy/yogurt drink with cilantro. This was new to me and I really enjoyed it. They even gave one to my hubby even though he was not having the VB. For dessert: I got more of the sweet orange rice (?) and cashew dish, (15) a tapioca pudding, and (16) a sweet paan. The sweet paan was new to me - very interesting - I would say it is not something everyone will like. Not sure how to describe the taste (it's going to come off bad - but it wasn't!!!) --- a minty herbaceous green leaf wrapped after dinner digestive aid that was topped with a maraschino cherry. It kind of tasted like mint soap (again, I know that sounds bad, but it wasn't - at least not to me). One of the servers said it had rosemary, that was probably the 'soap' I was picking up. After eating it, ALL the fire was gone. I kind of missed the heat, but was excited about learning of the unique powers the paan had. Everyone serving us (well, me) was so nice and answered my questions as they popped up through out the meal (I'm a very curious eater). read more

I was very impressed with the cleanliness and food quality at Desi District in Austin. Because of that positive experience, I took a friend last weekend to the Desi District at Hollyhock/Prosper. Unfortunately, the experience at this location was disappointing. The place did not appear to be clean, and there was an unpleasant smell inside the restaurant. Regarding the food: The jalebi was overcooked. The samosa filling had no flavor and did not taste good. The dosa was overly crisp, and it seemed like the same samosa filling was used inside it. read more

First time here, was a good experience. Staff was attentive, food from the eatery was good and spicy. Did not explore the market or other areas yet, was just picking up food this time. Would go back. Deco and environment was open and inviting. read more

Food stored on the floor, workers touching food with bare hands and place just looked dirty overall. After reading that they failed inspection in June, decided not to stay. read more

Absolutely disgusting. The place was very dirty. It almost like one of those TikTok videos where you see them cooking on the street lady in the back was touching everything with her hands without washing it after the washroom. read more

Stay away, entire family got sick last time we ate here. Food felt like it was stale read more

Close my eyes and I swear I am back in Iselin, NJ. The smell, the aroma, the cane juice & dosa. I cannot wait to ride my golf cart down the road every time I am looking to feel like I am back home read more

I had ordered pav bhaji from this particular location and the bhaji tasted like sambar and looked like one as well. Not pleased. The Irving location had made better pav bhaji. read more

Avoid this place. The food quality has hit an all-time low. Our Mysore Bonda was rock hard and clearly over-fried, and the Samosas tasted like they came straight from a Costco bulk pack. Even though the manager replaced bonda with Vada, it wasn't much better. Service and food standards are declining fast. Definitely not worth the trip anymore read more

Go for good Indian and Andhra snacks. Biryanis and Mandis are bit common. Pani poori is very good. read more

Desi District - Juicy Chicken Mandi - Indian Near Me - Frisco, Texas

TLDR: Go here if you want good Indian street food. The chicken 65 biryani was terrible The food was incredibly disappointing since I have been to other locations have had a good experience with them. Let's start with the food I got the dahi puri, vada pav, and chicken 65 byriani. The Vada pav was very good but it was a bit too sweet for my taste. The dahi puri (on the second time) was alright. They are a bit bland and a little hard eat all in one bite. Now unfortunately I had to send back the dahi puri the first time because the guy who made it just left it sitting there without calling our name. I had to go up and ask where it was after a considerable amount of time. The chicken 65 biryani was atrocious. It was possibly the worst chicken Biryani I have ever put in my mouth. The rice had the flavor of crunchy water. The chicken piece was cooked well and tender but lacked flavor and spice even after maxing out on the spice scale (my white friend who was trying Indian food for first time said the same thing). If you are okay with bland food and good ambience or you need Indian groceries, this would be a good spot to go to. Otherwise, it's an utter waste of time to go here read more

Me and my friends went to Desi District and we ordered a mango lassi on the menu and said it was 5.99, but on the register it said it was 7.99 and some extra (like fahlooda) stuff on the register with the mango lassi, we were very suspicious about why it was more expensive. We were asking why it was more expensive to but the server was re assuring us that it was correct. After we went back to the restaurant and saw an Indian person ordering a mango lassi and it was only 5.99. This place is not consistent with pricing and the price they give for the people they serve. If you are a non Indian be prepared to be taken advantage of. read more

I would give 10 stars if I could. In my opinion no better place for Indian food. And the manager Naidu knows his ways on how to deal with costumers. What a gem of a person. And I can't describe how good the food was for my house warming. Has the true taste of India and the following day the food did not burn my stomach . Next time I will get food at the top of my list is desi district. read more

Didn't look clean at all! Not to mentioned that it was closed by the health department back n June 2025
