My friend and I were craving Indian food and we decided to check this place out and I'm glad we did. The location used to be a late night a diner but they have used the space well for their needs. Plenty of booths to sit at and the counter is still there. The staff was friendly and answered all our questions. For food we started off with the Chicken 65 and that was really delicious. If was my first time having that and I will be back again for it. We also shared the chicken vindaloo and butter chicken and both were well seasoned and great portions. The garlic naan was amazing and freshly made. Overall I will be back and will be adding it to my list favorite Indian spots in DFW. Go check them out. read more

I grabbed lunch here with a friend and it's a hidden gem! Now, I have to say, I wasn't (and still am not) super familiar with traditional Indian cuisine, but I am familiar with good chicken and this is exactly that! The tandoori bone-in chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside and the spices and flavor were excellent. I got it with a side of rice and cooling raita sauce, with were great complements to the chicken. The service was great, and they were very patient with me given my lack of familiarity with most of the menu items and seemingly unending list of questions. It's a pretty intimate atmosphere as well, it'd be a great spot for date night! read more

Elephant Indian Bar & Grill - Tandoori Chicken - Indian Near Me - Dallas, Texas

A small but mighty little restaurant, Elephant Indian always has attentive service, fresh food, and speedy delivery. Don't let the location throw you off. I have eaten here many times but never wanted to give away my little spot. I'm gate keeping no more. I had the lunch special which comes with a generous soup, naan, an entree, rice, vegetable and a dessert for $16.95. I'm a sucker for pappadam so I had to add that in. There were so many things I wanted to get, but that is for another day. read more

This is my new favorite Indian place!! Their chicken tikka masala and saag paneer are so incredibly good. Super tender and the flavors are fantastic. Mango lassi is slightly on the too acidic/yogurty side for me, but still yummy! I have ordered this for takeout far too many times since my initial visit. Tip for takeout: for sone reason, paneer is not listed as an option for the saag curry, but you can select Vegetable and write in Paneer in the special instructions. Their chicken biryani is solid, also a big fan of their Punjabi butter chicken! Their garlic Naan is delicious, as is their onion kulcha! Looking forward to trying more and more on their menu read more

Best Indian food I've had in Dallas! We got the goat biriyani , the lamb samosas, another amazing appetizer which were dumplings in a spicy sauce (forgot the name) and the chicken vindaloo. We got our entrees at a level 4 spicy and it was perfect. The service was very attentive from everyone we encountered. The patio area was lovely and had regular tables as well as a lounge area that is festive and colorful. They have a fun cocktail list and a decent wine selection. We got the mango margarita (better than any Mexican restaurant I've tried) and the mojito which had a unique but delicious flavor. It was a lot of food so we had leftovers the next day and we ordered the rice pudding to go. The rice pudding was a little intense for me but my BF liked it. Will definitely be returning read more

One of the best meals with my bf so far! It was our first time in so we weren't sure what to expect. Small place but cozy. Good for family or date night. We tested the heat spice level and ordered two and three. You can do five if you can handle heat. It wasn't spicy for us but we eat spicy food though. Bathroom was outside and around the corner, it was weird read more

Absolutely delicious Madras soup! Omg. Wish it had been more soup though at half the price of an entree. And the butter naan, geez, sooo good. Hope they're around a long long time. read more

I visited here with friends on Saturday evening. We found the menu confusing and the servers confused when bringing the food. We're not sure if we got what we ordered including spice levels. We were a large party and they allowed us to pay separately which was nice but i ended up the last person paying and paid for something that wasn't mine. Proved paper tickets bright to the table would eliminate this. I found the food pretty good but even 2 stars was pretty spicy. This wasn't my favorite Indian food experience, but I'd still give it another chance. read more

Absolutely delicious Indian entrees at this place. The lamb vindaloo was unbelievably tasty and truly delightful to eat. The butter chicken was great too. Service was quick & solid, and though it felt like our waiter skipped over the potential for a dessert, I have no complaints here. The place itself is cozy with not too much seating. I thought it was a great vibe for a casual date night. As much as I loved the entrees, I will say that the lentil soup wasn't my favorite. I don't know if it's just the nature of the dish or the way they made it specifically, but it wasn't really a lentil bean soup, more of a lentil puree. I generally hope for more thickness in lentil soups, so this one being more brothy wasn't really my vibe. But, the entrees more than made up for a 'just decent' appetizer. read more

I ordered takeout from Elephant Indian Bar and Grill and got the chicken tikka masala and garlic naan. Overall, I was pleased with my meal and felt that the chicken tikka masala was very flavorful and better than many other places I've tried. The garlic naan was good, but not great. The atmosphere when I went inside had a good vibe. It is worth noting that it is next to a motel and someone tried to sell me a bike as I was picking up my order. read more

Attention Dallas: you no longer have to travel to Irving for top notch Indian food. Elephant Indian Bar & Grill is excellent! We had the onion pakora, chicken samosas, tandoori chicken, and coconut chicken...wow, sounds like a lot of chicken, but never mind that. Everything was excellent! We ordered the entree at spice level 3/5 and it was a bit spicy for my daughter, but pretty spot on for me. If you are at all timid, go lower. The naan was great too. I wish the raita was a bit tangier, but that was the only minor disappointment. They've done a great job of turning a former diner into a chic and comfortable restaurant. They don't appear to serve alcohol, but I saw others bring in wine. Yum! read more

I've only ordered for pick up / delivery here and the food has always been amazing. Lamb biryani is my personal favorite and the spice level is no joke. The owner was really friendly and nice when we came in for pickup order. The restaurant is cozy. We will definitely be back. read more

This small restaurant offers free parking on the parking lot shared with The Quality Inn and Suites next door. Plenty of free parking spaces were available at noon on a Monday. They have outside tables but no one was using them. Traffic noise and fumes from Central Expressway ruin any chance of sitting on their patio. Inside is clean, quiet and calm. Two of us met there to try lunch. We could choose our own table or booth. Menu offers quite a variety of Indian dishes. We tried two different combinations from the Thali menu. Costs were $13.95 and $15.95. You choose the protein. Lamb or chicken available for most Thali combos. Each combo includes a nicely flavored lentil soup. We both enjoyed the included lentil soups which had a mild mixture of spices and flavors. The Thali combos came with plenty of Naan bread on the side. We both chose garlic Naan which was served warm and perfectly baked. Our combos came on round SS serving trays with each course in a small bowl. The requisite rice, veggy curry, entree choice, fried onions, and rice pudding dessert completed the lunch combo. We found our choices flavorful and perfect portions for lunch. All foods were served at proper temperature and had enough protein for the price. Our total bill for lunch for two (without drinks) came to $29.90 plus $2.47 tax. The date was August 21, 2025. In summary the other 5 stars reviews are spot on. We didn't check out the restrooms. This is a very good casual Indian food restaurant with casual ambiance, good service, and delicious food. Worthy of repeat visits. read more

This place was fantastic! Super impressed especially since they haven't even been open for a year. On a Sunday night we were sat immediately and it wasn't too busy, but they were getting a lot of to go orders. They took our order right away and the food also came out very quickly. Our server was very helpful with recommendations and describing the items to us. I also liked that you are able to choose a spice level to customize each dish. My butter chicken was full of flavor and a great portion. It's a much more casual place but still very nice inside. This will definitely be our go to Indian in Dallas from now on and I can't wait to try the rest of the menu. read more

Elephant Indian Bar & Grill - Butter Masala - Indian Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Solid Indian food near downtown dallas? Yes, please! Elephant Indian is a newcomer to dallas located near 75 and Fitzhugh. Parking can be tricky but the staff told us all the parking around the property (even the stuff that says hotel guests only) is shared by the restaurant. The food and service are great. We got the chicken 65 and gobi 65 to start. Both were tasty and not over breaded like they often can be. Next we got the kofta curry and the chicken tikka masala as well as some tandoori chicken wings. All the dishes were on point and flavored perfectly. Portions were plenty big and we had plenty of leftovers. The wings were super flavorful but I'd say the star of the evening were the gobi and chicken 65. Both were delicious and I'd definitely recommend getting those if you are into some flavorful chicken and cauliflower! All in all a great addition to the dallas Indian dining scene. read more

You need to train your owner to have common courtesy and common sense, instead of being a vulgar human being. He had blocked the driveway and was on his SUV while I was waiting for more than 5 minutes on my car waiting for someone to come and move the SUV. I saw some employers of his from the restaurant, and ask them politely who has the car. The employee went to the window and then came back but did not say Anything. I tried hitting the horn and no change. Another employee came up the driveway and saw my car and went and ask the owner to move. The whole time I thought there was no one in the car, but I was wrong. After he moved, I had my party waiting for me to pick them up, but I lowered my window and asked why he blocked the driveway and did not open the way. He said"I don't care". I was shocked of his answer. I said are you working for the hotel? His exact works"I own the hotel what are you going to do about it?" I said so you are the owner and are doing that to your costumers. Could I have your name please? He responded his name is T.R.U.M.P. I was appalled of this behavior and I said, even you are the owner that is BBB where I can complain of your horrible behavior. He started cursing at me right and left like an ugly human, that he things is above all. I asked him to step down if his high horse and please give me your info. He drove way cursing. All along this time I thought he was the owner of the hotel next door, because he impressionated himself like one. I went to the desk clerk of the hotel and they gave me the info of the corporate and their direct number to the hr office, but then they said he is no owner or employee of the hotel he works at the restaurant. This ugly human being is doing this to get customers upset with the hotel. I went to the kitchen staff and asked them, they confirmed he was their boss, but they can do nothing about it. That is how he is. I'm always looking for good in people but this person is delt from a different type of cloth. I just want to let people know, that no matter how rich you are, if you are a horrible human being you are nobody. I write reviews for so many restaurants and try to bring the best of their services and their working staff, but this is the only time I was shocked to disbelief of how wrong this person is. He does not deserve to be in Dallas area at all. He will give a bad name to our community with his behavior. I have been in Dallas for about 25 years and never I have experienced this level of ignorance and arogant for a human being . I just can't allow this to happen to others. read more

Stopped by Elephant Indian Bar & Grill and was pleasantly surprised by both the food and the relaxed, inviting atmosphere. The interior is cozy but modern, and it's a great place for a casual lunch or dinner with friends. We started with the hummus and garlic naan, which I highly recommend. The hummus was smooth and creamy, and the fresh cilantro on top really made it pop -- adding a refreshing, leafy flavor that balanced the richness nicely. The garlic naan was warm, soft, and had just the right crisp all around. I ordered the chicken tikka masala, and one cool feature was being able to choose your spice level. I went with a 3 out of 5, and it was the perfect amount of heat--enough to warm you up but not overpowering. The sauce was creamy and flavorful, though I would've liked a better chicken-to-sauce ratio. Either more chunks of chicken or a little less sauce would've balanced it out better. The rice with peas was cooked well and paired nicely with the curry, though it wasn't anything standout on its own. Service was friendly, and the staff made sure we had everything we needed without being too intrusive. I'd definitely return--especially for that hummus and naan combo! read more

So... Ignore the fact that it used to be a diner attached to a two/three star motel. Ignore the fact that you have to still park in said motel parking lot to access the restaurant. Also ignore the fact that inside, despite a good refurbishment and Indian decor, the booths and countertop are still reminiscent of a diner. Bottom line, the food is excellent. Great portion size, varied menu, and the staff is super attentive and friendly. Probably some of the best butter chicken we've had. I also ordered the vindaloo and while I asked for a five spice level, I probably could've gone hotter if they were able. Regardless, this is definitely one to visit and if you live nearby or in the neighborhood, absolutely worth a stop. We went there following a musical near Fair Park and it was less than a 10 minute drive. Great central and north Indian food. read more

Yes they are on uber, It is veg, and non veg friendly, and Gluten free options, no it's not Jain friendly. Its good Indian food, beside the Samosa is not one of the best spots for Samosa. There is spice level, so yes they can make it spicy. On the app, you can ask without halwa but they won't substitute with something else. Just a heads up this is a hit or miss spot. Depending on the day and time. read more

This is an absolute gem on the busy traffic of the location it's on, you need to go around th La La Cafe for the parking spots and there are plenty but there is also a right turn into the place. That's it about the location, now for the fooood, I got nothing but to say an absolutely tasty items, Pakora and Chole Bhatura, that was so very well packed... I have never had Halwa with it before, that too was tasty. Just a thought, why wasn't there onions and lemon slices with it? But I am really going to be coming back. I want to wish you all the success in this location. read more

We ordered the Butter Chicken Masala and the menu clearly does not indicate that there are nuts in the sauce base. My sister has a nut allergy and noticed after consuming the food that she was having a reaction. I brought this up to the waiter and he proceed to say "you need to ask about your own allergies". Which is frankly insane to say to the customer who is experiencing the ALLERGIC REACTION. It isn't indicated anywhere in the menu, which should be a standard, and then deflecting the blame onto the customer..... the waiter didn't do anything to fix this situation lol Would not recommend anyone coming here. read more

Great new neighborhood spot! Food came out fast and it was great quality. I didn't realize the butter punjab had bone in the chicken. I'd order regular butter chicken next time.

If you're craving authentic Indian food in Dallas, Elephant Indian Bar & Grill is an absolute must-visit! Every dish is packed with rich, bold flavors, and the experience from start to finish is top-tier. I had the Chicken Tikka Masala, and it was hands down one of the best I've ever had--and that's saying something because I've had the original in Glasgow, Scotland, where the dish was created! The sauce was velvety, perfectly spiced, and packed with deep, smoky flavors from the tandoori-grilled chicken. Paired with their Onion Kulcha, a warm, soft bread stuffed with seasoned onions and herbs, it was pure perfection. The combination of flavors was unreal! Beyond the incredible food, the hospitality here is first-class. The staff is welcoming, attentive, and genuinely passionate about their food and guests. You can tell they take pride in what they do, and it makes the dining experience even better. Dallas is lucky to have a spot like this. If you haven't been yet, do yourself a favor and go--you won't be disappointed! read more

I was really craving Indian food and finally gave this spot a try. We ordered chicken tikka and naan for delivery. The food arrived warm, which was a good start, but unfortunately the chicken itself was quite dry and the portion surprisingly small. We thought we ordered a single side of rice but ended up receiving two--no complaints there, though it was a bit confusing. The highlight was definitely the masala sauce--rich, flavorful, and everything you'd hope for. If only the chicken had matched that quality, this could've been a winner. Overall: Great sauce, underwhelming chicken, and small portions. Might give it another shot, but not rushing back. read more
