    Chaat
    Bryan W.

    I really wanted to like this place. The menu looks good and diverse. Just wasn't prepared for the prices. It seemed like everything was priced for an event. Like at Cosm or the ballpark, pricier than average, but you are there for an experience. There was no experience with my visit. Just an empty dining room at lunch time. I bet it really livens up when there is live music. The service was fantastic. They were all professional and welcoming. I don't think I'll be back for food anytime soon. I work in the area and am usually looking for more reasonable options on my lunch break. Maybe for a beer after though! They had some really nice styles on tap for only $5 and crowlers to go if you wanted.

    There is no way to know the menu prices before coming. Its a digital menu with price shown after opening each item individually. Starters are $15-20 and mains all about $30. Plates are good small bites for sharing. I appreciated that every menu item had a picture of the dish. Service was great and atmosphere too. Very cool inside, not a bad seat to be had if your coming to see the music. The food was good with interesting flavor but I didnt like the preparation. The paneer was cold and bland but mint chutney sauce was great. The aloo chat had dense thick potato patties which I didn't like but the sauce was great, just too much sauce ratio for the potato patties. Overall its premium prices for dishes that could have been better.

    What a gem! Delicious food, great venue, and amazing beers. First of all, this place is built for music - from the way the wood walls are perforated to the library. Tues and Thurs 6-8pm there is a live pianist and o the weekends there are ticketed shows. When there isn't love music, the library is a real library and you're encouraged to peruse the books while there. The beers are fantastic! A flight is only $10 for 5 pours and the full size beers are only $5 for their craft beer. The selection was great! The food is pricier ($30-40/entree) but honestly that evens out with the beer price, and is especially worth it for a live music venue. The paneer lababdar was amazing - creamy, spiced, and very mildly spicy!! My only suggestion is they should consider cheaper lunch prices since there's no live music and portions could be smaller at those times. Finally, everyone was friendly. Such good vibes. I highly recommend.

    First time checking out Windmills it's an Indian fusion restaurant but primary modern twist to Indian food. Offering a wide variety of classic Indian dishes along with kebabs, burgers, and steak dishes. There's something here for everybody! We enjoyed all the food items honestly, the chaat was a favorite along with the chicken croquettes! The desserts were all 10/10 and did not disappoint. If you are in the area, definitely recommend checking it out!!

    Came in for a private company holiday event. I've never heard of this place, but I was very excited to try it! The interior and ambiance were beautiful. It was a buffet style dinner, but the Tandoori chicken and Samosas were the best! Overall, this experience definitely left a call for me to come back one day. Some foods that were served included: Fenugreek Paneer, Dill Butter Chicken, Tandoori Chicken, Dill Butter Chicken, Broccoli Falafel, Samosas, Rice, Naan Bread, Mint Chutney, Guava Sauce, Cheesecake/Brownie dessert, etc. What stood out to me the most was the Tandoori Chicken and Samosas with Guava sauce. I would definitely love to come back to get it again! Also, it was my birthday when we had the company event. They had brought out a celebratory dessert for my birthday which was very sweet. It was a unique matcha mango cake which we all enjoyed. Service was great especially since it was about 20+ of us and it was an open bar. Our one server and one bartender did a great job keeping up. Overall, the company I worked for had made an amazing choice of choosing this restaurant. Thank you so much!

    This location is got a very eclectic menu, but I will say it is primarily influenced by Indian flair. We arrive for dinner around 545 6 o'clock and there was more than enough tables and seating available. This location does have live music that performs later on in the evening. We were a group of four and we're seated right away. Our server was a little standoffish and not the most friendly person. Kind of seem like it was an inconvenience for us to have come in. I opted for their baby back ribs, and found them to look delicious, and the meat was incredibly tender and was easily pulled off the bone, but their barbecue sauce definitely had a kick to it to the point where I could actually only eat two of the four bones that were on my plate. I wish that the green apple and arugula salad would've been a little bit more prevalent to add an additional cooling factor to the meal. I did opt for their chai old-fashioned and as somebody who loves chai, I did not like this combo. Was just

    Windmills offers a unique dining experience with its Indian western fusion food selections and musical performances to accompany them. I visited for the first time and I thoroughly enjoyed my experience. My friend and I ordered the Karara Paneer and the Cheese Poppers. Both were very crispy and flavorful. The paneer was excellent paired with the mango and mint dip, which was the perfect amount of tangy. I also enjoyed the cheese poppers (think jalapeño poppers) as they were spiced really well. I definitely want to go back for their happy hour from 3-6 pm on weekdays and try their signature cocktails and some Indian inspired entree dishes.

    Private event space upstairs worked out great! This is the view coming out of the elevator.

    I came here to attend a private retirement party on a late Thursday afternoon. The party was held upstairs, which is open to the main floor. There wasn't live music at this time, which I would probably really enjoy in a future visit. The restaurant had a relaxed, chill vibe and the service staff was excellent! They attended to everyone's needs with a smile. I'm probably not the best to judge Indian food because I have a very bland palette. I mean, who orders a hamburger at an Indian restaurant? That would be me! It was delicious by the way! There is an elevator right near the entrance, so it was easy to get up to the second floor. The bartenders were excellent and asked questions to find out what our preferences were. The sound level was also excellent because everyone could converse easily without shouting over annoying background music. I would highly recommend this venue for small private gatherings as long as live music isn't happening on the main floor.

    The bartender was so nice & her name was Raquel & she is fairly new, but so acknowledge of the menu which is a plus because it was my 1st time. The food was very flavorful & the crème brûlée was really good because that could be a hit or miss. I will be back on a night they do live music!

    Chicken Biryani
    Caroline K.

    I came here for my birthday and it was the perfect decision. The mezze platter and stuffed naan appetizers were so flavorful, all of the sauces on the platter were incredible. Our waitress was exceptional, she took the time to recommend beers and food based on what we were feeling, and she was spot on. For mains we ordered chicken biryani, butter chicken and a falafel burger and we had nothing but amazing things to say about the food. Each food item is paired with a drink on the menu so you know exactly what to order with it! The restaurant itself was also very cool. We went during lunch when it was not crowded and there was no music, but now we want to go back when they have a performer there! We will be back!

    Amazing restaurant that fulfils the need to showcase elevated Indian cuisine at its finest! The ambiance is extremely well decorated, modern, architectural and stylish. They thought carefully of how the ambiance should be from the wooden twist tables and consoles, to the frameless entry of the restrooms to the artistic book corner. Now for the real reason we come here.. to eat! As mentioned the cuisine is elevated fine dining of Indian food. Windmills seems to have put into perspective, fighting off notion that Indian food CAN be made in a tasteful, high end and innovative with their explosion of flavour. This isn't your mom and pop Indian restaurant (although it's good), this is somewhere you can go for a celebration, fun birthdays-- an experience! The menu is presented on a tablet and I ordered the lamb kulcha (naan bread stuffed with minced lamb), braised pork salad, guava chicken, kerala beef fry, and finish off with rose berry mocktail. I highly recommend all the dishes as they are flavourful with all sorts of textures! I can't say I prefer one more to the other because everything was delicious!

    $10 Beer Sampler
    Jamie C.

    My husband and I recently stopped in the Windmills for a drinks on a Friday afternoon. This is an absolutely gorgeous restaurant. The layout is bright and clean with stunning aesthetics. They brew their beer on site, and have a wide variety for every palette. And their sampler is only $10 to try 5! We had amazing service from Ella who was super friendly and informative. We will definitely be back sometime soon to try the food menu! Thank you again, Ella! :)

    Flourless chocolate cake

    I really liked this place. So I am huge fan of their branch in Bengaluru, India. I had no idea they had branches here in the US as well. I was introduced to this place via my friends who are local residents of Dallas. They frequent here and love the food. Since I had heard so much about this place. We had to go check it out. Parking was a breeze, they have. Huge parking deck right upfront. We had a reservation and we arrived 10mins late, however they didn't seem to have an issue with that. They have outdoor seating facing a water body which is beautiful but because we visited in Jan it was too cold to sit outside. Hence we choose to sit indoors. We ordered the cocktails, I got the spicy route and my husband got a Smoking barrel, our friends also got the chai old fashion and the hakka. All the cocktails were fabulous, but I liked mine the best. It was definitely spicy and chilli forward so it isn't for the faint hearted. Everyone liked theirs the best, I guess they cater to all pallates. We got the guava chicken, chole bature, cheese curds, mushroom naan, the tandoori chicken, salmon avocado toast and daal. Everything was fabulous. Very authentic and well done. I love the fusion flavors and the chicken was tender, cooked to perfection. The daal was creamy and decadent. My avocado toast was Indian-ized almost and tasted incredible. For dessert we got the flourless chocolate cake, it absolutely slayed. We also got the carrot halwa cake which tasted more like a carrot walnut cake tbh. Overall, 10/10. I loved this place and I am coming back when I revisit Dallas.

    They always block that off for valet. Another reason I didn't rate it high

    I'll start by saying this, I'm not casually into Indian food. I'm an Indian food aficionado. My…read morebusiness partner is Indian, and we are constantly trying new Indian restaurants. If you really know Indian food, you know there are levels to this. Most places serve what I lovingly call Campbell's Soup Tikka Masala. Super sweet, neon red, one note, wrong color, wrong consistency. Basically tomato soup with sugar and turmeric pretending to be a masala. It fills you up, but it doesn't make you pause and savor anything. Spice Grove Indian Cuisine is not that place. This is the real deal. The flavors are layered, balanced, and clearly cooked with intention. Not overly sweet, not dumbed down, just full of garlic, spice, depth, and that unmistakable "this was done right" feeling you get when Indian food is executed properly. We ordered a spread, saag, tikka masala, butter chicken, korma, vindaloo, garlic naan, and honestly there wasn't a weak dish on the table. Everything had the right color, the right texture, and the right punch of flavor. This is food you slow down for. I won't say this is the single best Indian food I've ever had, I reserve that for a few heavy hitters like Dishoom and Brigadiers in London and Chola in New York City. But if those are 10s, this is a very solid 8.5, and that is high praise. They're busy for a reason. You cannot go wrong here. If you love Indian food, or want to understand why people love Indian food, just go. You'll leave happy and probably already planning your next visit.

Service was good BUT, this deducted one star. We ordered a bottle of champagne and it was kept away from us so we couldn't reach it. Normally that's not an issue however every time we needed it refilled no one was available to refill it and we had to flag someone down. The other option was getting up and getting it myself but that would've been awkward and probably disruptive. When the total is coming out to a total of $600, I do expect the service to be exceptional, not just good. Also - while it's so clear that the chef has a genuine love for this restaurant and his vision, having him speak in between each course was a bit disruptive to the dining experience. Every time my husband and I would be having a conversation the chef would stand up and give a speech about the inspiration behind the dish and how to eat it. Again, appreciate the passion but this was too much. I would recommend one speech at the beginning and then giving a menu upon being seated and including 1-2 lines as a description with each dish that would capture this information. Overall none of this would make me not come back, but definitely some things that would've made the experience better.
