    Kabob Guys - Tandoori Chicken on hot plate

    I was happy to receive two takeout dinners from the Sunday night special of this restaurant…read moretonight. The combination of the Butter Chicken and the Tika Marsala, with extra Basmati rice and Nan bread, was a welcome sight with stunning visual textures of soft tomato soup with cheese bearing resemblance to red acrylic paint. As I spread the savory mix on the Nan, I was loving the flowing aromas of Indian style spices emanating from the large bowl I was using. The taste that followed was a burst of flavors I had not experienced in a few years, when I was practicing Indian-style recipes I found in the culinary magazine "Saveur". The chicken in both dishes had a firmer texture with a delightful chew where I could almost taste the muscle fibers individually or together. It was well-cooked in the flowing red sauce it came with, but nobody could describe it as "falling off the bone" (what some people may mistakenly describe good BBQ chicken as). The heat came on strongly in these paired dishes, so I would suggest that anyone indulging in this kind of cuisine drink cold Ginger Ale with it. Half my family is from Mexico, so me encanta la comida picante, but the other side is from New York, so the cold and sweet ginger element would help put out that fire. I read that this restaurant has a buffet, so I am planning to visit with my family and put a dent in their delicious spread.

    Upon entry, the service felt a bit slow. This was our first time visiting, so we weren't sure if we…read moreshould seat ourselves or wait to be helped. We were noticed multiple times but not acknowledged, and no one told us something simple like "feel free to sit anywhere," so we ended up standing there for over five minutes before finally being seated. Once we sat down, things improved. In my opinion, the food could have been hotter it was more warm than hot. That said, the flavors were really good. And the star of the show: their naan bread WOW. Seriously, I could just eat that and be completely happy. It's made in-house, and you can definitely tell. Absolutely delicious. Prices are very affordable, which is a big plus. Despite the slow start, I would come back again.

    The best Indian Restaurant in Mcallen…read more They have a great menu, rich curry sauces on the lamb madras, the biryani's are great.... The chicken sag( off the menu order) is fantastic. It's our go to restaurant..... so impressed and I know good curries having lived in England and spent many years travelling though the Indian Sub continent for work!!

    I came here with a group of friends for a Friday night hangout since we were craving Indian food…read more Curry Fiesta did not disappoint, and hit the spot for our cravings. The building is fairly large with 2 levels. It has a good amount of parking space and plenty of seating. The interior is cozy with warm lighting. I ended up ordering the Mango Lassi and the goat biriyani. We also had an order of butter naan for the table. The mango lassi is refreshing and smooth. It is aromatic and comes in a tall glass. It pairs well with the cuisine. The goat biriyani was excellent! It came packed to the brim in a generous deep bowl. The goat was tender but could have used some more seasoning. The rice was fragrant and enhanced the flavor profile of the goat. Overall, the food satisfied our Indian food craving and the service staff was kind. A unique quirk is that each table gets a complimentary can of Thumbs Up (Indian version of coca cola) and some fresh sliced veggies with a mint sauce. We'll definitely come back to try more dishes!

What we didn't expect was the very high pricetag that came with our meal! Very small dining room with old school diner tables and booths. We were greeted upon entering, but from the kitchen as it's literally a mom and pop establishment. No front of the house staff. After a few minutes, the owner and cook came for our order. We got 2 delectable samosas as apps. Very crispy and savory. I ordered the chicken vindaloo and my girl the chicken curry. We asked for spicy+. The dishes didn't disappoint! Super flavorful and even though it didn't burn our mouths, we were definitely sweating and had clear sinuses! The garlic nan was very good, but could have used just a tad bit of salt to bring out the flavors. We also got the chicken nuggets and fries for a kids meal and even though the owner forgot about it, he quickly put that in and added extra nuggets. Again, food was great, but the prices don't really leave a desire to come back... Especially with a full buffet at University Market 5 minutes away! Our meal came out to $50!! I did the math and he definitely over charged about $5 at least, and I should have clarified that, but I just tipped 10% instead. Even if he hadn't done incorrect math, $45 for 2 medium sized entrees, 2 nan breads, 1 (complimentary?) rice, 1 kids meal, with 2 waters and a juice is way too much. I'd only go here again if the Indian craving hits super hard on a Sunday when University Market is closed.

    Sprouts Farmers Market is located in a side shopping strip on the north side of the Lowe's Home…read moreImprovement store on North 10th in McAllen. This was my first time to go. I found the store welcoming and pleasant. It is one of the cleanest, prettiest, and well ordered grocery store I've entered. It is not as big as some of their competition, but what they do is done very well. I was offered help by more than one employee. They were friendly and helpful. Sprouts is known for offering more organic foods, allergen-free, gluten-free, and vegan options than other places. I have a family member that cannot eat gluten, so I was pleased to find her a gluten-free Dutch apple pie and some brownies she can eat for Thanksgiving. I don't have dietary restrictions- and found some delicious cookies for me, and scones for my wife. Sprouts has the most beautiful produce department I've seen. Everything looked super fresh. Their meat department offered cuts of meat, poultry, salmon and more... and they even had pre seasoned, grill-ready meats. The deli had some amazing food options, and fresh sandwiches made to order. Like most supermarkets, they have flour and the rest for baking, cereals, canned goods, etc. But what was unique is the selection, brands, the variety, and the healthy options. Their Spouts coffee section smelled heavenly. They have a good variety of coffee, both whole bean (which you can have ground right there) or already ground and packaged. Sprouts even has over-the-counter meds, hygiene and personal care products, and a small selection of floral bouquets. Another feature you don't see in most other places are bulk nuts, seeds, granolas, snacks, candies, dried fruit, and cereals sold by the pound. The prices run a tad higher than at other places, but what you get is quality and healthy options along with "designer" food brands and products. Take your own reusable bags, or be prepared to purchase reusable bags (cloth or plastic). You may still need to stop at another store to get everything on your list, but I can say the same thing about their larger competitors. It really is worth checking them out.

    Overall very, diversified products , courteous Employees,…read moreclean environment, acceptable prices
