We absolutely loved it and could not stop from eating. Felt like as if our mom or skilled grand mom back home cook and serve us. We also ordered egg omelet spicy which was perfectly cooked with crunchy onions, green chillis and cilantro. While savoring this meal my husband was craving for yummy hot rasam and we were served piping hot pachi pulusu style rasam freshly tempered with loads of aromatics. the best for throat on a cool day. We also had salt lassi which was super refreshing and in cute cup with lids. The restaurant owner and head chef is managed by the same person whom we and folks at Ahaa referred to her as Akka (a term for elder sister in Telugu). A sweet lady who talked to us and gave recommendations. She kept checking on us often and was always attentive to our likings. Price is good and quantity is plenty. Location is inside DaysInn motel in a hall. Not something I liked but its worth it for the homely tasty fresh authentic food. Adding this to the must visit place everytime we visit Dallas..

I was greeted upon entering the establishment and was assisted by two of the workers. I explained that I was new to the area and not familiar with the menu. The one seemed uncertain about helping me and the other lady assisted me in choosing some items. I got the Butter Chicken, $12.99 medium, the garlic naan, $3.99, and a Pepper chicken fry, medium. The wait time was around 15 mins. The restaurant looked like it is well maintained and the bathroom looked maintained which is nice as they do reflect on any and every establishment. The dining area looked as if they set up for a buffet/family style meals, and there are about 3 tables for outdoor dining. Overall this was a pleasant experience and I'd say that the food was very pleasant in taste and appearance. As my order was ToGo, my expectations would be that the bag would have had plastic ware and napkins. This oversight was a major disappointment and a huge lacking to detail for a new patron and paying customer. I had to use the lids of the rice container as a makeshift spoon. Not very ideal and or it made for a poor dining experience. I'd not return to eat from Nizam's Kitchen 3601 Regent Boulevard Suite 140, Irving, TX, 75036

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!)

The Momo65 was a clear winner between the 2 types we ordered. The noodles were a bit too salty for my taste and didn't give the opportunity for other flavor profiles to shine. The momos were the star of the show!

The food is solid - saag paneer, paneer and chicken tikka masala, veg Manchurian, chaat stations, curries, samosas, a few cakes and halwas for dessert. Adult buffet is $25/person - not a bad deal!

However, Saturday night our usual place was unexpectedly closed, so we tried India 101. Why had we deprived ourselves for so long!? We were so pleased with our dining experience and with the variety and quality of the food. We walked in, were quickly greeted, led to a table, and were provided ice water. The hostess told us we could grab plates and utensils and enjoy the buffet at our own pace. We're vegetarian and found many dishes to eat: palak/saag paneer, paneer tika masala, pakoras, veg biryani, veg Manchurian, naan, roti, pani puri, samosas, mango lassi, a soda fountain, raita, and on and on and on. Your dirty dishes are quickly taken away by efficient staff, so grab a fresh plate when you return (and you WILL return) to the buffet. The establishment is clean, the music isn't too loud, and the buffet never felt too crowded or rushed. We were so pleased and look forward to returning. Adult Buffet is $25/person - well worth the cost. The ambiance is casual and there were singles, couples, families, and groups of friends dining. You'll feel comfortable if you go alone or with others. Enjoy!

It's a food truck off Esters in the Chevron gas station. The outdoor seating was a nice option that I did not expect. The ambience will be great for a fall evening. Ordered food to-go and the first impression as I opened the food was the aroma of homemade 'birinji'. The fried chicken pulav tasted great with raitha. The added bonus was free box of pulav, which was a very nice gesture. One recommendation to the restaurant is to give additional raitha, which most restaurants miss. Pricing : Moderate Will I return? : Absolutely! There are many more interesting options on their menu that need to be tried.

I haven't had vada pav sliders before but the filling is kind of like fried samosa filling without the dough. It's good. The serving size of the biryani was very impressive. You can see from the photo that they fill the container and then add another mound of rice on top of that - basically 2 servings (we took one home). And they didn't skimp on the chicken either! The chicken is cooked perfectly, the sauces are a great complement and this is an excellent dish. The Lunch Thali gives you a lot of bang for your buck and mine included ~5 pieces of fish fry, about the same amount of veg pakora, yogurt dip, chicken curry with rice, 2 different soups, a naan/tortilla thing, and a carrot dessert (like a halwa). All had good flavor and the soups have a nice spicy kick to them. However, since all the dishes for the thali come off the lunch line (ie all premade), the tortilla, fish and pakoras had been sitting out for awhile and not too hot. Had they come out fresh from the fryer, I might have given this experience 5 stars. As it stands, I'll probably be back for lunch anyways - and the thali is available 7 days a week!

Drinks (2/5): Shocked by the quality based on their regular price. The Velvet Karma was okay (tasted like watery Bailey's with cinnamon). The Karma Sutra was mostly cough syrup, almost no liquor tasted in either. Both $15 each. Service (2/5): The waitresses are all hardworking but they seem super short-staffed. The whole place was packed but they're too busy to be out in the front. It took forever for food and drinks to come out also, despite it hasn't been packed yet. Took 15 min for the cocktail to be out and was watery... Ambiance (3/5): The live music at 7pm didn't start until 7:20. We came earlier and waited for it to start. Super disappointed and wanted to like this place. We can't see ourselves back unless these changes. It just seems stingey as a business to lack liquor in cocktails this price.
