Staff is super friendly and patient with Americans who don't know the menu and can't pronounce the menu. I've had 4 visits in 1 week. They are very accommodating and "Uncle" is the chef. I've focused on the tandoori chicken (leg/thigh) and chicken tikka (breast meat). Perfect flavor - I mean really good!! When I go for lunch, the cook is perfect and the meat is very moist. However, during the dinner rush, the chicken tikka gets a bit over cooked and is on the dry side (but not cotton dry!). My suggestion is to order it with "no black areas from the grill". That will ensure it remains moist. While I know & cook Indian food at home, this dish I can't do and always got out for. Absolutely high quality and well made food! (Getting chicken tiki masala Monday! Can't wait!)

What I ordered (based on Jain menu photo that I found online): Pakoras - good, there's a wait for it if you are ordering out. Had sweet potato, potatoes, snow peas I think. Samosas - okay. I've had better. The crust is okay, filling was good enough flavor with potatoes and peas. I needed the coconut chutney for this Chili paneer: paneer coated with chili sauce and green peppers , very good and I may have eaten too much Next time I'll do dosas The staff taking orders were very helpful and patient with explanations and checking on ingredients. All were very pleasant and calm. The restaurant is pretty big, half filled with tables and the other half probably to accommodate the lines that I assume would form on peak hours. Quick service casual for some items, the pakoras took a long time to come out but the chaat was easy peasy here you go. They mixed it for you but better if you don't if it's a to-go order so it's not soggy. I went at 3 pm on a rainy Saturday and ithe tables slowly filled up though the place was not overly packed.

This place it tucked away INSIDE the market…read more You think when you are only ordering 2 items - AND you wrote them down exactly as they were on the online menu - word for word, and the cashier rings you up based on looking at that very piece of paper in his hands, AND you also spoke the exact words in person to him, they would get it right...but nope. I have been thinking about this samosa sandwich since my husband moved to Irving (and his condo is only 500 feet of this place as the crow flies) - today was the day. I went there in person, not trusting them to get it right by phone order, AND not ordering online so that Grub Hub doesn't take 25% of the money I spend. Once home and opening my bag, I was displeased to find plain (lukewarm) samosas (NOT a sandwich) and the 2 piece Vada Pac plate which was correct. As others have said - the cashier is less than enthusiastic and (obviously) could not give a crud about his job. I realize this was not a big order, BUT it was a "test" order and I was hoping it would be great, and become our regular place. Based on this experience - nope, I will move on to the 20 other Indian restaurants in my husband's neighborhood to find our "regular" spot.

In addition to this, if you're looking for traditional Indian sweet treats, they have`options like gulab jamun, ladoos, kaju katli, jalebis, rasgulla, ras malai etc. I was in the mood for stuffed paratha (flatbread) and this one was done with cauliflower, although you can get it done with potatoes if you prefer. I thought the stuffing was a little bland, and needed some more aggressive spicing. Gujrati daal was fine (slow cooked lentils) and went well with the ordinary rotis I ordered. The aloo-gobi which is a dish prepared with potatoes and cauliflower was pretty good, I thought they did their spice game well. Lots of cilantro always brightens any dish and this rendition had that in plenty. Overall, a good option in the Irving area if you're looking for homestyle Rajasthani food, or if you just wanna pick up some Indian sweets.

The Silk Road - Spicy Lamb Malabar…read more First time ordering lamb at The Silk Road, and I'm kicking myself for waiting. I'm eat 4-6 meals from here a week, but I usually stick to other favorites. The Spicy Lamb Malabar just became a new regular for me. Today's plate: Lamb: Seriously impressive. Huge serving of fall-apart tender chunks with zero gaminess. It soaks up the sauce perfectly and the curry leaves give every bite that aromatic, almost nutty fragrance. This is the most protein for you body builders and bulk weight trainers. Sauce: The big chunks of tomato were a standout -- bright, slightly sweet, and they kept the dish from feeling too heavy. Curry leaves were fried into the oil, so you get that flavor all the way through. Spice balance: It was light on mustard seed this time, and I didn't catch the sweet spices like cardamom or cinnamon, like last weeks shrimp Malabar. No mushrooms today either. Honestly, I didn't miss them with how well the tomato and lamb worked together. Why it's stellar: Even without the full mustard/sweet spice profile I was expecting, the dish is just dialed in. The heat builds slowly, the lamb is top-tier, and the curry leaf + tomato combo is addictive. For a first-time lamb order, this was a knockout. To The Silk Road team: You've got me converted to the lamb. If the version with more mustard seed and that whisper of sweet spice on the finish comes through next time, this is an easy 5+/5. Today's was still a solid 5/5 and I'm already planning when I'll order it again. Bottom line: If you're new to lamb or new to The Silk Road, start here. The Spicy Lamb Malabar is bold, comforting, and flat-out delicious. Even on a "lighter mustard" day, it's one of the best dishes I've had here -- and I'm here 4-6 times a week.
