Ordered pickup - daal makhani thali dinner, Hyderabadi chicken biryani (bone-in), and mango lassi. Make sure you double check the drinks are in your order before you leave; they made my mango lassi fresh once I arrived for pickup. The man who handed me my food was very nice! I will be sure to come back when I am working in the area again! (Watch out for bones in Hyderabadi chicken biryani, there were some little bones in the dish.) Food was amazing and had lots of spices. Sambar and Rasam were both very flavorful and enjoyable! The daal makhani was a little spicy. Mango lassi was really good. It was way better than I expected and tastes like home cooking. Very enjoyable and the best part of my day! A great pick-me-up. I would gladly order this exact meal again. read more

First time I ordered from this place. The butter chicken tasted sour and spoiled. Absolutely inedible. The naan was not fresh either. I would not recommend this place AT ALL! read more

Omg I usually love this place but what happened the fried cauliflower was rubbery and the butter chicken taste ridiculously terrible like it was made with Campbell's tomato soup and it was sweet ... ummm no the owner is so kind and his male staff very attentive but this girl stayed in the back most of the time and didnt care read more

Vindu Indian Cuisine - Rubber cauliflower and tomato butter chicken it was a waste am disappointed - Indian Near Me - Dallas, Texas

We had expectations of a lunch buffet, since the website stated they had one daily. We decided to order Al a carte and were not completely disappointed but the sauces were really thick in the tikka masala and korma. The staff wasn't receptive of the website inaccuracy and shrugged it off. read more

I love Vindu! The food is delicious and consistent. I'm partial to mutter panneer and chicken tikka masala. I'll miss the variety of the buffet, but they have some great lunch specials. Always nice people and great service! read more

My girlfriend loves this place! She loves the butter chicken and I like the Chicken Chili Dosa! Service is always top notch.

I've had 2 visits. Both times, the restaurant was completely empty which raises questions in my mind. The first time was a good experience - came with a large group. Food was good and met expectations of the price point. This led to our second visit again with a large group. This time it was really bad. 1. Food was not good - chicken was overcooked which makes us question if it was fresh. Dosa were soggy which should never be the case. 2. Kitchen worker was in bathroom stall stinking up bathroom and watching TV on his phone. That smell was so bad it almost made me gag. 3. The server has stuff on his mustache which I don't want to ask or know, but if he's unkempt, again it questions the food being served even further. 3. After all the above, being in a dim lit dining experience only brings further concerns. Wish them the best of luck to turn things around, but not coming back to find out after spending $200 on the last poor experience. read more

I ordered online and picked up lunch from this restaurant. The mixed vegetable pakora and lamb masala were both delicious. While the pakora didn't travel particularly well--something I don't fault the restaurant for--the accompanying sauce was flavorful and had a nice kick. I ordered the lamb masala spicy, which may have been a bit too intense for me, so next time, I'll stick with the standard spice level. Overall, a great meal! read more

Had a great experience at Vindu and will definitely be going back. The restaurant is clean and the staff is very attentive. I could see that the waiters constantly going around and checking on the tables. There was also a larger party that had some kids running around which the restaurant accommodated to very nicely. I would say it's a great place for large parties and kids. The food is very flavorful and everything was cooked perfectly. What isn't shown is the grilled meat plate with tandoori chicken and seekh kabob, which both tasted great and had lots of flavor. The dosa has very moist chicken which paired nicely with the crispy dosa. The sambar was my favorite, it's packed with vegetables and has a very nice savory taste. I recommend it when it's cold out. Overall, I had a great experience. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

We had a go to Indian place that closed and trued Vindu as it is very close. We ordered a good variety of appetizers and entrees. Everything was very nicely done. Good flavors, great selection. I wouldn't know authentic Indian food if it bit me in the butt, but this was really tasty. read more

Tried Vindu Indian Cuisine for the first time this evening. I had the chicken tikki masala with a side of naan. It was soooo good. Tender, delicious chicken - large chucks and lots of them; a generous portion size; and the lightest, fluffiest rice I've had in a long time. The service was prompt and friendly. My regular takeout spot for Indian food closed down and I've been searching for a new one. After many, many, awful to meh experiences I'm so happy to find a spot that I am excited to go to again. read more

Vindu Indian Cuisine - It smelled so yummy, I couldn't wait to eat some and had to try a bite before I even took the photo! - Indian Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Only in April I came to know their Okra fry is an Andhra dish. I never had okra cooked with chickpea flour. Since it is available a la carte I have been ordering it often along with their Mirchi bhaji. On a lucky day I get to taste their pacchadis. Besides their Telugu dishes, service is great, very polite. Ambiance wise it is a clean place. read more

I've been eating Indian food in Dallas for like 30 years and consider myself a bit of an Indian snob. So when I call this my new favorite I do not say it lightly. I knew it was legit as soon as the pappadam and chutneys came out. The mint was unusually fresh tasting and just very refreshing. The tamarind was pretty good also. The menu is fairly eclectic with different regional dishes including more of the southern dishes that you'd have found at places like Madras Pavillion, may it rest in peace. I had the lamb fry which was just perfect. I ordered very spicy and they did not disappoint. It was perfectly lamby without being too heavy. The rice was excellent and fluffy. The naan was crisp and perfect. The owner, Reddy, has been doing this 30 years, previously of Pasand in Richardson. Obviously he has honed his craft very well! I look forward to checking out their lunch buffet. read more

The food at Vindu is always excellent and the prices are reasonable. Service is great and the interior is nicely decorated. My wife and I come here about once a month. We have many other Indian restaurants closer to our house, but we prefer Vindu. read more

ordered paneer and they just gave me chicken and I have never eaten that in my life, they made me eat it unknowingly. If you're an Indian you'll understand the relevance of my case because I'm a Jain and it's unrighteous for us to eat meat, and they have broken that trust. read more

We ordered the food through food delivery service . Overall the food was okish. We ordered Hyderabadi Chicken Biryani ( okish ) , Malai Kofta Curry ( good and tasteful ) , Naan (good) , Roti (good). read more

Love their food! We have ordered countless times and have always had fast service, good food, and the workers have always been very kind.

Holy balls, the chicken tikka masala was fire. It's the best chicken dish for indian cuisine in my opinion and I ate alot of butter chicken back in Cali too. The cauliflower appetizer was great . biryani was average to me, nonetheless good. Always get the garlic naan. read more

This place was EXCELLENT!! For such decent price too. They have so many varieties of curry. I can't wait to go back and try different ones. Checkout the ones we ate in my photos I took. We definitely recommend this place. We will just go here from now on when craving Indian food!! read more

Vindu Indian Cuisine - More then enough Chicken Fried Rice - Indian Near Me - Dallas, Texas

From most of the Indian places that I've tried in the area I would have to say that their bread taste about the best and they do give you a really good amount of everything. I do say that I prefer that to go more than the dining... I feel like you just get more read more

Vindu Indian Cuisine - So good!! Live this place. Chicken folks masala - Indian Near Me - Dallas, Texas

We were at Vindu for dinner, used a groupon. The place smelled like bleach/windex, very dingy. We were given the corner booth , there was a big puddle of water on the table, we had to flag down the waitstaff to clean it. The menus were very dirty.At this point we really wished we didnt go there. We got the chicken biryani and rava masala dosa both of which were very mediocre at best. Never going back here read more

I have been going to Vindu for around 8 years, and it has consistently been my favorite place to eat for Indian food. I no longer live nearby, but I will drive 30 minutes just to eat here. Everything here just tastes the way it should! My family and I typically like to order the chicken tikka masala and lamb saagwala with naan. We also like to sometimes order the mixed vegetable pakora for an appetizer and the gulab jamun for dessert. If ordering online, I recommend ordering directly through their website and picking it up. read more

Delicious food and the lunch specials are reasonably priced. I usually go for the goat curry lunch special but recently tried the lamb since my friend was getting the goat. I was surprised how different the lamb sauce was from the goat but both were great. read more

Lamb Korma.....best I've had. Perfect amount of spicy. Creamy and perfectly cooked lamb. Fantastic naan, as well. read more

Happy fourth of July my mouth has sweet firecrackers going off!! this is my second time here for dinner and third total. I absolutely love the Thali Dinner..Wouldn't order the dinner entree any other way..it's like a tour of India for your palate. Yummy! The second time I went to Vindu was for lunch buffet...totally veg friendly and satisfying for us meat eaters. They have them nicely segregated. :) My only suggestions? I hope the owner reads these---y'all have a nice patio--would love some tables, chairs, umbrellas and lights! The walls could use some pics--not sure why not any? Cultural? Educate me. Also there's a lovely corner where wine, beer and maybe liquor could be served ...i can see the wait list hanging there now. If you love Indian food...north, south both...get you to VINDU!~ read more

Authentic Northern and Southern Indian Cuisine. This is my favorite spot for Indian food! It is located right off Frankford Road and the Dallas North Tollway in the large shopping center with Albertsons. We have been here multiple times and every time we come here the food and service are just as good as the previous. The staff at this location treat their patrons as if they are family. You are promptly greeted, and shown to your table. They bring you water right away and are quick to bring out your beverages. The menu has a various amount of options from Northern to Southern Indian cuisines as well as vegetarian options. They are happy to accommodate spice levels for you on the entrees as well. They bring out Papadum with Tamarind chutney and Mint Cilantro chutney as a complimentary starter. The Tamarind chutney at this place is my favorite. We then decide to order the Vegetable Samosa as an appetizer. The Vegetable Samosa comes out after 5 minutes and it was smoking hot. The taste was delicious and you can tell they freshly prepared it. We decided to order the Lamb Curry and Dal Makhani Thali Dinner entrees. You have the option of also doing a la carte entree but the Thali dinner is worth it. They bring out both entrees in this large dish with rice and on the side a lentil soup, a tomato soup, a potato soup, raita, and a small dessert. They also bring you out a generous amount of complimentary naan. You definitely do not leave hungry with the Thali dinner. The flavors were delicious as always, the spices are perfect for me considering I don't always like spicy foods. The staff here makes sure you are always taken care of. The owner even walks up to check on you. This is hands down my go to spot for Indian cuisine. The entrees are loaded with flavors and the service is excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely continue to dine here. read more

If I could give an actual rating, this would be 0/5 stars but Yelp forces me to give at least 1 star. I had hired Vindu to do catering for one of the days of my wedding weekend. When I contacted the restaurant, I spoke with the owner (Pakeera Guduru) and went to Vindu's for a tasting after telling him what I was envisioning for that day. We finalized the menu at the tasting and was told a price per person to which we agreed. We were also charged an additional fee for 4 staff from Vindu to come and prepare some of the food onsite. We paid the advance and then we were told to come a couple of days before the event to finalize our guest count and pay the remaining amount. Aside from the menu, we discussed the layout that we had in mind as well as the general timings for the event. Mr Guduru kept reassuring me that he's been in the industry for many years and has a lot of experience catering for events larger than ours. Two weeks before the event, I called Mr Guduru asking him to provide his insurance documents along with a liability waiver that the venue required to which he said that he would email me the completed documents. I also told him that we had finalized with the venue regarding the layout of the food stations and had come up with the finalized timeline for that day to which he asked me to email him the details. Four days before my event, I went to the restaurant and paid the balance that was due and when I brought up the layout and timeline in my conversation with Mr Guduru, it was clear that he hadn't looked at my email but he assured me that he would handle it and that the service would start at 6pm promptly and that his staff would arrive at the venue by 5pm to setup. On the day of the event, the Vindu staff only showed up at 6pm and started service at 7pm. We had agreed on the appetizer station being active from 6pm-8pm but they only began at 7pm. It was extremely frustrating for all of our guests that was waiting for 1 hour without any food. On top of that, during dinner, one of the food items that was supposed to be made at the venue was dosas to which Mr Guduru had told me that he would be bringing two large dosa griddles that would make 6 dosas per griddle (12 dosas at a time). With the size of our crowd, he said that we would only need two griddles. His staff showed up with griddles that were only large enough to make 3 dosas per griddle causing extremely long lines. If he had told me that the griddles would only be large enough to make 3 at a time, I would have requested him to bring additional staff so we could have more stations and paid accordingly. If that wasn't enough, one of the two cooks who was manning one of the dosa stations was producing dosas that were so thick- it was evident that he hadn't made dosas before. As a result, guests were avoiding this one dosa station, resulting in even longer lines. His staff also walked off with trays of food at the end of the event which goes against what he promised us. We were told that we would be given any leftover food so that we could distribute it as we saw fit. The quality of the food from Vindu can be rated as fine with the exception of the gulab jamun which was so tough and dry. However, the service and complete disregard for everything that was promised and what we were charged for borders on shameless thievery. I would never recommend this establishment to anyone. There are far better catering options within the DFW metroplex to choose from that provide South Indian food. We were actually considering to use Vindu for our main wedding day but decided to go with another Indian caterer and I am so glad that we did. The service and overall experience that we had was like the comparison of day vs night with what we received from Vindu. read more

Serves me right for going out of the way to try something new. 9/10 times they backfire. I ordered ginger chicken curry thru Uber eats for lunch today. The chicken was coated in red food coloring, and was pretty grey in color inside. That's what happens when the chicken is not fresh, days old, and they are pretty much repurposing what they have. It's below standards and can prove to be bad for health. Was the curry okay? No, just red colored sauce with some ginger mince thrown in, didn't taste fresh either. I would say they are in food coloring business rather than anything else. Not sure food is safe to consume, you are warned. read more

Went to Vindu with friends from New Dehli. They told us the the food served at Vindu is from the south of India. Unfortunately, I have a very low tolerance for hot, spicy foods, so when I ordered and they asked about the heal level, I said minus 1. The food was excellent, I even tried my wife's Mahi Mahi, which was excellent- but the side dishes served are extremely spicy for my American pallet. The only reason I did not give them 5 stars was service was OK, but truly not what I expected and the men's room was needing cleaning and maintenance. The menu has a great variety of dishes from the north to the South of India, numerous vegetarian options plus they also offer IndoChina dishes. We plan on going back to try some of the dishes we are not familiar with. read more

Vindu has been right on target when it comes to taste, price and service! The last two times we ordered food it was delicious and really big portions. One order last us for two meals. We love how authentic the food is which mean it might be a little spicy but the flavors are so complex that it keeps lingering on your taste buds way after you are done eating. I highly recommend the food . read more

I tried this place for a lunch buffet around 10/28/19. I would like to recommend it. I felt i got my money's worth. There was enough seating, i like how there were plates in between the buffet line so that i dont have to wait from the beginning. I like how all their plates and cups match, unlike some others. The place was clean, they pick up your plate once ur done, and get a new plate for the next round. I tried onion pokara less salt and flavor to my taste but could vary from place to place. I tried garilu/vada im used the more fluffy, round ones, I felt this be some what traditional and was more grainy than im used to. I love the vada and goat/chicken curry combination. I thought naan was basic, warm and good nothing about it sticks out, but love the combination with chicken tikka masala. I tried plain rice and daal/lentils, I did enjoy this traditional dish, i felt it had the usual flavors, wasnt spicy. I felt its a safe bet for anyone, you will enjoy it, I gauuuuuranteee Chicken biriyani was good, not as greasy, mild flavor, not too much overwhelming masala, chicken was abundant and flavorful. I tried goat curry, thought it was alright as I felt it could have used more spices, salt. The meat was cooked well, tender, meaty, juicy. Then I moved onto, my favorite part DESSERT! Gulab jamun was sweet, warm and soft, plenty left over. I like it. I was not a big fan of the ras malai, i did have better. I felt the pieces were hard and could have been more softer, the syrup broth was what I felt condensed milk. Had no flavors at all. Overall I will recommend it. As I said i felt there were plenty of varitety of dishes for the price you pay. read more

The food was great . Just wish they had something posted or a small sign of what is inside each dish. This place is clean and the food was really good. I just got a little of each thing because I didn't know what I was eating. Not an expert with Indian food. When I was paying I handed the server my card at the desk he ran it and threw it on the desk.I was surprised but brushed it off & still left a tip. Overall I'll be returning. read more

Bugs in the Food, would not recommend. Vindu has been my favorite restaurant for the past two years. We ordered takeout probably twice a week from them. This is why I hate having to write this review. A couple months ago we took a big group to dinner at Vindu. Our friend found a bug in her chicken korma. We continued to order takeout there thinking it was a one time thing. Then there was a bug in my chicken korma takeout (see pics). Just makes me think that their kitchen is not at all clean and bug infested... read more
