“Love the unlimited Gujarati thali. Such a good menu so many varieties and good service! Friendly staff!“
“Monk is a good Indo-Chinese/Nepalese restaurant with delicious soups, appetizers, entrees and desserts. Their soups appear to be pretty heart healthy Each time I eat there, my resting heart rate went down by few beats (please note, this is my personal experience/ observation, so please take it with grain of salt & test it yourself). I bet it’s mostly beautiful the soups are loaded with vitamins C & diced cabbage! Give a try and see how you feel. Best,“

“Oh my god. This is the most delicious food I've had in a long time. We got the Samosa Chaat, Mughulai Chicken, and Garlic Naan. When I say I had this for the first time and couldn't stop thinking about it I'm not exaggerating. I was thinking about this place non-stop. I got within a 5 mile radius and I could not stop myself, I was already there. This food was so good, my mom called me and told me she loved me.“

“First time today. Ordered Tikka Masala bowl for her and Tikka burrito for me. Also Paneer fries and a couple Naans. Everything tastes good, but Naan is dry. Spice level is about 3 and we are usually 1 or zero, so be aware. Can we request less spicy?“

“FOOD:
I got the Chicken Tikka Masla and it was super flavorful and creamy. I love super spicy food but I was having acid issues that day. I really appreciate how they have plus values for their spicy levels. Not every person or culture rank spice the same so it was nice seeing they had that. AND the spice level was perfect for me and my stomach with their system. My boyfriend has GERT so he loved it too. He ordered the Lamb Rogan Josh and the meat was very tender and juicy which is hard to do with gamey meat. His stomach is sensitive and sometimes when he eats foods with additives or lots of seed oils he gets sick but he didn’t experience anything like that at all here. Their food and ingredients are top quality.
SERVICE:
I have lived and grown up in Dallas my whole life and Spice and Tonic will be added to the top of my lists for go-to. Service and food here is nothing short of amazing. There was a technical blip with online ordering but before and after this restaurant have shown such care and grace. Even when I was upset (the issue was not the restaurant’s fault at all). They really care about their business and it shows. Not only did the host seem super happy, the owner personally called to check up with me on my issue and got to the bottom of things and the food was great.
ATMOSPHERE: I did not have the chance to dine in but when I came to pick up my food, the restaurant looked super nice, chic and clean.
OVERALL:
I wanted to leave an in depth review to really show my appreciation for this business and those there who keep the show running. Immaculate food and service. I would not write such a review if I did not want to recc. to everyone and their mothers. We should support great people and great product (the food). It is rare to see such a package these days so let’s keep such places alive and thriving.“

“I visited The Delhi Lounge for their weekend buffet, and it genuinely impressed me. Every dish specifically for the buffet. These dishes are not on their al a carte menu. The standout for me was the live aloo tikki chaat — hot, customizable, and full of authentic flavor. The entire spread tasted thoughtful, fresh, and high‑quality. At $29.99 + gratuity and tax, the variety, freshness, and exclusive dishes make the buffet absolutely worth it.“

“Nice indian food spot! The ambiance was pleasant, and the music was good. I found the food and spice levels to be pretty accurate so definitely don’t overdo it. We tried the samosa chaat, garlic naan, and kadai paneer. I found the chaat and kadai paneer to be heavy on the masala and I think it would have been better to tone that down. Other than that, the food came out quickly and our server checked on us pretty attentively throughout our evening !“

“Amazing food and even more amazing service!!! We ordered parotta, puri, chicken curry and beef roast. Every single item was QUALITY. Seriously, even down to the cilantro was simply quality. {insert chef’s kiss} They said it would take about 15 mins, it was ready in 12. We had chaiya and ethika uppum (fried plantain) to end the meal and OH. EM. GEE. sooo fresh & delicious. This is a MUST STOP in Carrollton! My husband can be pretty picky with his Kerala food and chaiya, and he just wouldn’t stop raving about it all!“

“Friends of mine mentioned this location, and I had read positive reviews. The staff had headbands and gloves on, and the place looked immaculate when I visited last week. The mulbagal benne dosa and ghee podi idly that I ordered arrived promptly and were delicious. Together with the garlic naan, I also tasted some spicy Malai kofta and jackfruit panasapottu kurma, all of which were quite delicious. I enjoyed the greatest homemade sweet I've ever had, angur rabdi jamun, for dessert. It's beyond a doubt that vegetarians should visit this location.“

“Best mandi in Dallas compared to the other mandi places I’ve tried! The food is delicious, flavorful, and the portion sizes are very generous definitely a good quantity for the price. Make sure to try the chicken fry piece and the juicy chicken; both are super tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Definitely worth trying!“

“A late review, but a great one. We had a small religious event at our home and no second thoughts but went to order with Sai Bhavan. Requirements shared over a text message for Satvik food for a group of around 20 people and they immediately understood what we want and ensured that every single item was prepared with great care. Spice level requirement was well understood and managed very well. Food was ready before time and was super fresh and so tasty. This place has been our family's go to when it comes to any sort of catering or even a casual dinner out at the restaurant. Love the place. #Secondtimecatering#“

“Swagath Biryanis has been my favorite biryani spot since 2017! My best friend, who is Indian, introduced me to this restaurant, and I’ve been coming back ever since. I’ve tried biryani at other places over the years, but nothing compares.
My absolute favorite is the boneless chicken biryani. The masala is SO good — flavorful, perfectly seasoned, the right amount of spice, and never dry. Their chicken tikka masala is amazing too. Every single time I order, the food is consistently delicious.
What also keeps me coming back is the service. As a Black woman, I pay attention to how I’m treated when I go places, and in the nearly nine years I’ve been coming here, I have always been treated with kindness, respect, and great customer service. My orders come out quickly, the staff is always pleasant, and that level of service has never changed.
To have the same great food and the same great service year after year really says something about a restaurant. This will continue to be my go-to place for biryani. Highly recommend!“

“Absolutely loved our experience here — a true slice of Kerala on a plate. The combo meal with fish curry, beef dry fry, moru curry, pickle, achar, and payasam was spot on. The mackerel fry and anchovy fry were crispy, flavorful, and tasted just like back home. The pulisseri tied everything together beautifully with its homely, soulful touch — every bite felt nostalgic. The snacks — medhu vada, ullivada, sukhiyan, and neyyappam — were pure comfort food. Perfectly done, crispy outside and soft inside, with authentic flavors in every bite. What truly stood out was the warmth of the place. Chef Sanu clearly cooks with heart, and the staff were humble, attentive, and genuinely welcoming — the kind of hospitality that makes you want to return. Weekday options are a bit limited but still delicious; weekends offer a wider variety. Seating is cozy and limited. Yummilicious, authentic Kerala cuisine at its best. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Absolute Must-Try for Authentic South Indian Food!
Santhi’s Kitchen in Frisco is an absolute gem if you are craving true, authentic South Indian flavors.
Here is a breakdown of our incredible experience:
🍛 The Main Dishes
1- Chapathis: Incredibly soft, fresh, and reminded me completely of a comforting home-cooked meal.
2- Mutton Keema Fry: Perfectly spicy, deeply flavorful, and delicious. The portion size is generous and easily good enough for 2 people.
3- Shrimp Pulav: One of the absolute best pulavs around. The shrimp was tender and juicy, and the rice was beautifully balanced with the right amount of spices and flavor.
🧮 Traditional Indian Snacks & Sweets
The restaurant stands out for its massive, wide variety of authentic take-home treats:
1-Savory Snacks: Fully stocked with favorites like karapoosa, jantikalu, boondi, cornflakes chudva, ragi karapoosa, chitti chakalu, and murukullu.
2-Indian Sweets: A great selection including gulab jamun, junnu, carrot halwa, kova kajjikaya, dry fruit laddu, boondi laddu, gavvalu, kalakandh, and boorelu.
An amazing place with high-quality, authentic food. It is a definite must-try if you love genuine South Indian flavors!“

“The food was downright fantastic.
The Dal Makhni and Onion Pakoda were tremendously tasty. More Over, the butter Naan Bread felt right at home.
The best part was, we came in 15 mins before the kitchen was closing. Ideally you would expect the food to be subpar during the last call of the day. But they did not leave anything behind when making it.“
“Had both the dosa and Hyderabadi biryani at IFL Irving and both were on point! Dosa was crispy and fresh off the tawa, and the biryani had that proper dum flavor with good masala. Definitely a place I’d come back to when I’m craving Indian food in Irving.“

“We had a friends get together and wanted to choose a restaurant equi distant to everyone in different Dallas cities and found this. .. this one surely was a great pick .. a perfect Indian / Andhra style restaurant .. location wise it was good . 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 visited for the buffet, and the entire family thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Every dish tasted fresh, flavorful, and truly authentic.
The biggest highlight for us was our three-year-old daughter. she normally refuses to eat anything at buffets, but here she actually ate and really loved the food! The ambiance is super cool and welcoming, making it an easy and relaxing place to dine with family.
Overall, fantastic authentic Indian food and a great atmosphere. Highly recommended!“

“Heard lots of negative review about the quality of food which I clearly mentioned to the server before placing the order.. Tried the Chicken Mandi today. The food was decent and flavorful, though I wouldn’t call it exceptional or “bon appétit” moment, but certainly enjoyable. That said, considering the buy-one-get-one offer, it was definitely worth the price. Overall, a good experience and good value for money.“

“Food top notch: perfect take out. Don’t expect much on service or ambience- it’s a grocery store with extended take out. I recommend take your own Tupperware if you are not big fan of thermocol take out boxes. People at serving desk do a good job as long as it’s not chaotic with crowd.“

“Good Authentic Tasty Panjabi Restaurant. Their Aloo, Panner Parottas are very good. There is an offer for 1 + 1 for parottas on Wednesday lunch. They could improve on the service and the atmosphere. Good portion size, nice place to hang out with friends or family“
