    I had been wanting to try this place for a long time, so I finally decided to celebrate my birthday…read morehere and I'm so glad I did! At first, I was a little hesitant because the menu is fairly small, but after my meal, I can see why. Every dish we ordered was absolutely a 10/10. I had the chicken with greens and shrimp fried rice, along with the fried green tomatoes and cornbread. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. I honestly don't have a single negative thing to say about either the food or the service. This was an amazing dining experience, and I will definitely be back. Highly recommend!

    I had high hopes for this location because I absolutely love Radici, and everyone has been…read morerecommending Roots to me. Unfortunately, it just didn't live up to the expectations I had. I do want to start with the positives. Our waiter was fantastic. He was very attentive, explained the menu thoroughly, and provided excellent service. The food also came out incredibly fast and piping hot, which is becoming rare these days. We started with the cornbread, and it was easily a 10/10. It was worth every bit of the $12. We ordered the fried chicken, greens, shrimp fried rice, biscuits, and hot water cornbread. The fried chicken was crispy and tender, but it lacked seasoning. I'd give it a 7/10. They served it with a house hot sauce, but surprisingly it had no heat and almost no flavor. I even asked the person I was dining with if they tasted anything because it was like pouring sauce on the chicken without changing the flavor at all. The greens were just okay on their own, but once we added the vinegar they became amazing. That made me wonder why the vinegar isn't incorporated into the greens from the start. The hot water cornbread had virtually no flavor. The shrimp fried rice was cooked really well, but it had an unexpected Caribbean-style seasoning that threw me off. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't what I was expecting, and it made it hard to fully enjoy. The biscuits were probably the biggest disappointment. They were dry and hard. One thing I also noticed is that, for a family style restaurant where you're encouraged to order several dishes to share, the tables feel too small. Once all the food arrived, there wasn't much room left, and even packing up our leftovers was awkward because of the lack of space. One standout that deserves recognition was the iced tea. It had what tasted like a subtle hint of mint and was incredibly refreshing. Easy 10/10. From the cuts of chicken we received, it appears they break down and fry whole chickens, which is perfectly fine. However, at $56 for a fried chicken that lacked seasoning, I found the price hard to justify. Maybe the cooking method or oil contributes to the cost, but I expected much more flavor for that price. Overall, I'd rate my experience a 7.5/10. Would I come back? Yes. I'd be willing to give Roots another chance and try something different from the menu. But when I hear Southern food, I expect bold seasoning and comforting flavors, and that's the one area where this meal really fell short.

    My daughter and I had an amazing experience at Spicy Zest. We were greeted promptly by our formally…read moredressed and friendly server. He gave us great information about the menu and was very attentive. For drinks, I ordered a Sri Lankan Milk Tea and a watermelon juice. My daughter had the Dalgona coffee. All of it was incredible. The juice was super fresh and adorned with a slice of watermelon. For starters, we each had a vegetarian patti. The heat builds adding to the savory flavor journey the pattis take you on. For our entrees, I had the Sri Lankan vegetable soup and it was the most comforting, delectable soup I think I have ever eaten. I have my daughter a bite and she was also wowed. Believe me, we've eaten some soup, so this is saying a lot. I dream of the soup now. It's an issue. I'm looking forward to going back for a fix next week. They make it fresh, so as the server warned us, allow twenty minutes for them to prepare yours. My daughter had the chicken zesty bowl and loved it. It does contain shrimp--very nice looking shrimp. The ambiance was fairly quiet and a unique blend of casual and formal. Hard to put a fine point on it. It was clean though some of the furniture was a bit worn. Nothing that detracted from our experience. Everything tasted memorably amazing. The service was superb. Go get hooked. I am.

While I do understand it is family owned and nonetheless amazing food, waiting 20 minutes just for waters kind of offset us. Waiting for fresh food was understandable, and when it DID come out they were great dishes. We ordered the Family Lamb and Beef for 5 people, all the sides (Lentils, Beets, and Kale) were great and complementary to the entree. My personal favorite was their Mango Lassi, one of the best ive ever had.

The sourdough pizza is absolutely worth getting and has a $3 discount for happy hour Mon-Fri. The chicken sandwich with house made pickles and sauce was a hit and the Korean Noodle Bowl with Shrimp was piping hot and unique. Our favorite was the Flourless Chocolate Cake, and had we not been so full, would have ordered one for each of us. The included cacao nibs provided texture variations and were a fantastic addition. Hopefully I'll be back to try TFK again soon.

Unfortunately, we kind of regretted that decision with the first bite.. My sister ordered the Mediterranean wrap and I got the lemon chicken wrap. My wrap ended up being about 90% salad with only a few pieces of chicken, which was pretty disappointing. We also ordered the edamame dumplings and a table salad. The salad itself was actually nice, but the edamame dumplings were extremely plain!!! I love edamame and I love dumplings, so I was really excited to try this item but they ended up being very bland and the dumpling filling tasted chalky inside. Even chili oil couldn't save them Maybe I'm just used to more well-seasoned food, but with so many great options around Dallas, this place just didn't stand out for me. That said, the service was good and the ambiance was nice. Unfortunately the food just wasn't memorable enough for me to come back.
