“Most delicious food in the area! Really enjoyed the wonderful traditional culinary dishes with perfect spices. We had the Peri Peri Paneer, Gongura Chicken Tikka, Royal Seema Chicken Biryani and Masala Mutton Curry. Desserts were wonderful too especially the Kaddu Ka Kheer and the Chocolate Brownie Sizzler.“

“My go to place, visited so many times. Food is really good especially parota and chicken 65 are my fav. Tried non vegg thali too but it didn’t match the expectation. Kothuparota is okaish. Recently tried filter coffee but it is not hot and didn’t felt authenticity it. Food taste will resemble to chennai style so don’t expect too much spice. Staff is really good and food will be served fast. Ambiance and cleanliness is pretty decent. Hope it helps!!!“

“After a long time, I felt compelled to write a review for an Indian restaurant because our family truly enjoyed the food at Nag’s Kitchen.
There are a few strong reasons why this place stood out for us:

1. Warm hospitality and clear explanations: From the moment we walked in, we were greeted very warmly. The staff took the time to patiently explain each food item and its ingredients, which we really appreciated. A special mention to the person at the register wearing an orange hoodie—he explained everything in great detail and maintained a genuinely welcoming smile throughout the conversation. That personal touch made a big difference.

2. Excellent food quality: The items we ordered were all very good, but the Goat Fry Piece Biryani deserves special praise. The meat was perfectly cooked, extremely flavorful, and the pieces were tender and delicious. It truly stood out as one of the best goat biryanis we’ve had in a while.

3. Fresh and natural taste: Another thing we liked is that the food did not seem to contain any artificial colors or added tasting salt. The flavors felt authentic, clean, and home-style, which is not easy to find these days.

Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed both the food and the experience at Nag’s Kitchen. It’s a place we definitely plan to keep visiting and would happily recommend to others looking for authentic, well-prepared Indian food.“

“We recently visited this restaurant to celebrate my friend’s birthday, and it turned out to be an amazing experience! The food was absolutely awesome — every dish was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. The drinks were also really good and perfectly prepared, which made our celebration even more enjoyable.

A special mention to Kriti, who served us. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made sure we were comfortable throughout our time there. Her service truly added to the overall experience and made the birthday celebration even more special.

My friends and I had a wonderful time, and we’re so glad we chose this place for such an important occasion. We highly recommend this restaurant to everyone looking for great food, delicious drinks, and excellent service. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“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?“

“So many reasons to love this restaurant! Being a 100% vegetarian restaurant sits on the top of my list, also some very nice smiling people work here, and last but not the least, their elaborate weekend brunch menu! I am an early bird, and some times reach there even before 8:30 am to enjoy the food and chai when it’s quiet! I have been there many times and never got disappointed thus far! Thank you A2B for providing us such delicious food! ❤️“

“Without a doubt, had the best cauliflower fry here. It has the right amount of crunch and they are cut to the right size and I just couldn't stop taking bite after bite. Portion size was also generous. Chef recommended this item and I think its called Chennai Chili Gobi. Another recommendation was Goat curry which was also exceptional.“

“Went there for the first time last month was the best indian food ive had for awhile, had the butter chicken and the rice that comes with it is outstanding, you have got to try this place you wont be disappointed“

“Tried the chicken unda roll here and it was seriously good—flavorful, fresh, and perfectly cooked. My friends all got different rolls and everyone was happy with their picks too. Great spot for a quick, tasty bite. Definitely coming back.“

“Sitara Grand is a great place for non-veg thalis. The food tastes really authentic and reminds me of proper Indian home-style cooking. The dishes are well cooked, full of flavor, and very satisfying. If you’re looking for a place that serves good quality non-veg food with real Indian taste, this is definitely worth visiting.“

“We loved the food and the service was great!“

“We randomly landed in this place looking for good biryani and this place didn’t disappoint. Awesome tasty and full quantity for couple to each on each dish. The chicken 65 was added bonus. The service was awesome. The place needs a little lit up!“

“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#“

“Very enjoyable experience.“

“very good food and excellent customer service.“

“The fried rice was truly impressive. Each grain of rice was perfectly cooked fluffy, separate, and not greasy. The seasoning was well balanced, with a delicious smoky aroma that showed real skill at the wok. The ingredients tasted fresh and were evenly mixed throughout the dish. The portion size and presentation were also very satisfying. I would definitely recommend this fried rice and look forward to ordering it again.“

“I crave Curry Point India Meals. I catch the lunch buffet as often as I can but it's not easy as the drive to and from work is a little lengthy. This is my favorite Indian Buffet in all of DFW. It's located in a strip mall & not much on atmosphere but I've never had a dish here that I didn't love. Nothing they serve is sub par in any way shape or form. It is all perfect IMO. I love it & hope they do very well going forward.“

“Tandoori chicken excellent
Chicken with rice, speechless

They offer little balls with a delicious sauce (I felt a bit at home; it's similar to my Mexican food, although some areas cook differently, but as a Mexican, I like food with lots of spices, and this place is my favorite).

As a Mexican, I highly recommend it! I'm going to be a regular customer.“

“First time there last night. The food was incredible! Family loved everything! We will definitely be back.“

“Food is fresh, delicious and reasonably priced. Service is excellent and especially they take very good care for the kids. Our kids got lot of snacks and they didn’t even charge for that. Sitting area is unique and different and obviously very comfortable. 100% recommendations!❤️“

“As a Telugu guy, this place truly feels like home. The food is authentic, flavorful, and reminds me of my mom’s cooking. The combo varieties are well thought out, the portions are generous, and everything is budget-friendly.

The service is kind and welcoming, which adds to the homely vibe. A big thank you to Akka for serving such delicious, home-style food with so much love and care.

Whenever I visit Dallas, Santhi’s Kitchen will always be a must-stop for me. Highly recommend to anyone craving real, homemade South Indian food!“

“Although most Indian food can be made vegan friendly, it is nice to see it clearly labeled here.?I believe a lot of the tiffins are vegan, they also have tofu tikka masala & palak tofu, and a vegan biryani with tofu/veggies, among other items. Super good & definitely worth trying.“

“Amazing food, amazing options, super super nice waiters. Wish I could give 10 stars.“

“Always love their service and delicious food.
We prefer milder, so we always ask for mild food and they prep to that spice level which is appreciated and we recently had their chef special dish that's not on the menu yet, paneer majestic and it tasted very good. Their ulavacharu biryani was also flavorful. We also enjoy their tikkas sizzling n bursting with flavors.“

“Taste of Antera in Texas is a fantastic spot for authentic Indian cuisine. Their recent offerings are truly impressive, with a wide variety of dishes that capture the true essence of Indian flavors. Every bite is packed with deliciousness, making it a must-visit for anyone craving quality Indian food. The food is consistently awesome, and I highly recommend giving them a try!“

“Good for biryani's lover. But North Indian food not that much good.“

“The masala dosa was great and flavorful but it needs less spicy! I could not handle to eat all when they were very spicy!!!“

“Had the best pani puri here !
I've ordered 2 plates panipuri, I thought they're gonna serve all puri at once on a plate.. but no; they served us in a traditional standing way, with a bowl in my hand filled with diced onions. I think the same person (Vishnu) who made the panipuri, serves us. He's a nice guy; polite and generous 🙂
A must try panipuri place ❤️“

“Desi Bites Plano is One of the best restaurants in Plano. I really enjoyed the delicious Chicken Tandoori prepared by Chef Prashanth—he is an exceptional chef. I also tried the Desi Bites Special Biryani, Boneless Chicken Biryani, and Paneer Biryani. Every dish was full of flavor, and the taste was truly amazing.“

“Awesome vegetarian options! I loved watching them make the wraps fresh! :) Will definitely be back soon.“

“A very best place in town to find home style cooked food for a reasonable price. They make delicious authentic Andhra sweets and snacks. Tried both veg and non veg dishes and they are outstandingly tasty. Food is always freshly made. We catered food sometime ago for our party and the food was fantastic and all my guests loved the food. The Jilebi and Junnu here is so yummy and heavenly that just thinking of it makes my mouth watery.“

“The food of this place has been exceptional off late. This place actually fills a void between the all so common Indian places( low bar ) in terms of experience and the very high end (expensive) restaurants. The service by Amy was awesome, she was extremely welcoming and friendly. The food came in no time and everything tasted brilliant. My wife and I were so full and satisfied at the end of it.“

“Masala Wok is my favorite restaurant in the area. I highly recommend it. One of my favorite dishes is the original curry with chicken. I also love their naan. Whether dining in or taking out, the food is always prepared quickly. Can't say enough good about this place.“

“Kumar's Indian food was exceptionally delicious. My friend and I had a delightful time at the lovely restaurant and the food was fantastic! I highly recommend it.“

“This spot is run by Divya and her husband, and they’re super accommodating. I was in town for a few business meetings, and my senior partner and I were starving late at night. They still welcomed us in and never made us feel rushed. The dosa was great, too. Definitely coming back to support them.“

“Incredible food with tons of flavorful gluten-free and vegetarian options! My daughter who is celiac, enjoyed GF roti. The service was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Every dish was delicious. A must-visit for anyone who loves great food and top-notch hospitality.“

“I am regular customer food is always fresh and authentic ,Biryanis and pulav are really good .All types of sweets and snacks also too good ,I recommend everyone should try .kudos to team they take special care of customers and explain what is best.“

“We went Jashan soon after it opened in October of 2025 along with my family. Absolutely loved the thought that went in towards the menu, taste and a strong desire to allow customers to try a dish courtesy chef or owner. While some may say it's a way to warm up to customers given it's a new restaurant and sure, it is. But then, isn't that something thats commendable? Doesn't that build that confidence and desire to ensure that the visiting customers have a great experience and a memorable time.“

“I had a great experience at Desi District in Little Elm. The restaurant offers a wide variety of flavorful dishes, and everything tasted fresh and authentic. The staff were friendly and welcoming, creating a comfortable dining atmosphere. The prices were reasonable, and the overall quality made the visit well worth it.“

“Basera Restaurant is hands down the best buffet in Dallas! I have tried many buffets, but nothing comes close to this experience. The food made me feel like I was eating at a Indian wedding feast—rich flavors, amazing variety, and everything tasted fresh and authentic.

The atmosphere made me feel so happy, and every dish was absolutely delicious. From appetizers to desserts, everything was perfectly prepared.

I will definitely keep coming back, and I highly recommend Basera to anyone looking for an unforgettable buffet experience in Dallas!“
