    As you enter... we were here for a to-go only!
    Chetan S.

    Stopped here for a couple of to-go dishes as we weee in the area for some work and wanted to get some quick lunch that we could consume once we returned home. Service was courteous and with a smile. Food was passable but even the North Indian dishes were made in Andhra style. Will need more compelling reasons to return

    Very good food! Like really really good food!! I had the Street Style Noodles with chicken. Best I've had! My wife sticks to her tried and true chicken Tikka Masala. The Tikka Masala was good also. Butter naan was on point.

    I got pickup. Corn starter was great! Chop soy was too sweet. That's not authentic. I would try it again in person and try more dishes before making up my mind on the restaurant!

    Made a random stop here. Saw the sign and pulled up for something new. Busy place. The nice hostess up front explained the menu and led me to a table out on the patio. The menu is IndoChinese and traditional Indian dishes. I ordered the Kadhai Chicken and a butter Naan. The kadhai was tasty but being from Karachi I'm biased ! Regardless I would order it again just call it by some other name. The naan ended being more like a roti. I like mine nice and fluffy and fully cooked. Service was prompt and friendly. This place could have received a much higher rating except for one major issue - I found out that if I leave a tip on a card then the server does not receive it. A big issue for me and I'm unlikely to return for that reason. These poor kids working there deserve better.

    What a gem in Castle Hills Realm! Indo-Chinese that's authentic with unique dishes to satisfy your taste buds! The staff is super friendly and welcoming. The ambience is soothing, with cool lighting and easy going atmosphere. There is plenty more f seating for small and large groups. The menu features what you may expect but also has some unique Monk Specials like the Corn Chat Patai, which was an awesome appetizer that made my mouth dance!! (The best I can describe this is like an Asian version of elote, minus the mayo and cheese) and I loved the chicken tandoori momos!!! They are plenty big and filled- and the spice level was perfect! I also enjoyed the Monks Special Noodles w with all the veggies and chicken - though I did have to ask for the sweet chili sauce to add a bit of sweetness! - Yummm!! Overall this food was great! Not overwhelming with any particular flavor or spice - good to have every day even! Saying this to say, we will definitely be back!

    Saag Paneer

    We visited after a fun evening out with family, hoping for a great meal--especially since my partner had enjoyed the Irving location. Unfortunately, our experience fell short. The ambiance was inviting, and the naan was well made, but the rest of our meal was disappointing. We ordered saag paneer with naan and bandi noodles, requesting a spice level of 3 out of 5. The server didn't clarify how spicy that would be, and the noodles arrived much hotter than expected--so spicy we couldn't eat more than a few bites. The saag paneer was watery and lacked flavor, though the naan was fresh and soft. When we mentioned the spice issue to the manager, there was no effort to address our concerns. We ended up taking the noodles home and, in an attempt to salvage them, ate them with peanut butter. While the setting is nice, the food and service need improvement to match the reputation of other locations. Would not recommend for those sensitive to spice or looking for attentive service.

    Very good food and service is very nice The best waitress is bhawana shes so sweet I haven't had in a long time this good food

    Dynamite Chicken, Mugalai Chicken, Mango Lassi

    We love everything about The Monks! Honestly, we probably come once a week. The staff have become like family, and are so kind. They are always thoughtful about the fact that we bring our kids, and give us paper plates and plastic silverware for them. They know and remember that we appreciate their drinks coming in plastic cups. The chairs are also great for small kids at a table because they contain them well and they can't fall out. For such a beautiful restaraunt, they make it so family friendly. The service alone is enough to keep coming back, and I haven't even mentioned the food! It's too good to share, so my husband and I each have to get our own mango lassi, Dynamite Chicken, and Mugalai.

    Absolute ridiculous quality with to go orders, and the food always feels like it's been warmed up in a microwave just before being served.

    40% of the items on the menu were not available including peanut masala . Drinks also seem they were watered down.

Lots of parking outside and lots of seats inside to sit and eat . The ambience wasn't the best but it was ok for us . Service was top notch .. the girl taking orders , exactly knew our pulse and suggested some good dishes for the whole gang . Almost everything we ate was delicious . Starters - peanut masala superbb , chicken 65 was good and crispy and the best was the baby corn starter . It was super good and we had to repeat order that one .. Goat curry had great flavors and the meat was juicy . Road side fried rice was a stunner . Haven't had this one in a long time . Chicken curry was also good . . Spice levels were apt for all of us to enjoy a good meal. I do not give 5 stars much but this one deserves it . 5 stars

We got seated but no one was there to seat us but we were able to seat ourself. The food was so delicious and filled with flavors. The butter chicken with the garlic naan was so good and had a little kick to it. We also got their chicken biriyani which was good and spicy, you can see the masala within the rice. On the side we got their pani puri which was good and perfect for sharing and as an appetizer. The last dish we got was their szheuan noodles with chicken and it was spicy if you can handle the level of spice but filled with so much flavors or Indian and Chinese flavors. Definitely will be back to try more thing son the menu:

    I ordered a non veg platter that came with a samosa, spinach chickpeas, chicken tikka masala, rice,…read moretwo naans, chutneys and a gulab jamun. I also ordered a mango lassi. The total came to about $30. The portions were small, but the food tasted fresh and flavorful. The naan was soft and buttery and I liked the crunchy spicy samosa with green chutney. Too bad that the mall doesn't get much foot traffic, because this place is good for lunch and dinner options. On the flip side, there were plenty of chairs to sit in and relax without having to rush through the meal.

    I think this might be the best Indian food I have ever had. Lentil soup - is a 10 out of 10. if I…read morewas sick, this would make me better immediately. Also, can I mention that they also have an option to get an entrée that is half-and-half two different curries so that you can try multiple things. You can tell these people love food, they know how to flavor things properly, and they care. Samosas were also amazing and I loved both chutneys. One more thing- they actually made the food "hot" when I selected the hot option. There's so many times that I order from a place and some things are great and other things are just "meh." That is NOT the case with Flavors of India. Everything I have tried has been really good. I really hope they read this because I want them to know how fantastic their food is!
