50 Best Indian Restaurants near Little Elm

“This is a good place that recently opened in Little Elm/Frisco location. The best reason to get the food here is healthy and hygienic food especially if you are a Vegetarian, since the options are abundant. (Veg Poriyal, kootu, Kuchambu, Rasam to name a few). They are health conscious - add minimum salt, use peanut oil (not a refined one) and do not use food coloring agents/Ajinomoto etc. that is a norm with many other Indian places. The food is of South Indian (Tamil Nadu) style. On the contrary, taste and quality of non-vegetarian items can be improved.“

“I had the Shrimp Biryani at Nags Kitchen, and it was a real treat. The rice had the right aroma to it, pleasant and soft, and the shrimp were fresh and tender. The level of spices was just right—flavorful but never too much. The portion size was good enough as well. Would certainly order again.“

“My most go to place. Every dish I tried was a blend of flavors, perfectly balanced and expertly crafted. From the creamy Butter Chicken to Lamb Vindaloo, each dish showcased the rich culinary heritage of India. The spices were used with finesse, adding depth and complexity to every bite. And I must appreciate the chef's expertise in balancing the flavors.“

“black bean taco is amazing“

“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.“

“Everything was delicious!!“

“I recently visited Rotate in Frisco, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! The atmosphere is modern and welcoming, and the service was prompt and friendly.

The food was not only delicious but also beautifully prepared and full of flavor. Every dish had its own unique taste and texture, and together they made the meal truly memorable. The aroma, presentation, and seasoning were all perfect, and each bite felt satisfying and comforting. It was one of those meals that leaves you feeling happy.
My 2 old year kid also enjoyed the meal😍

“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?“

“We had a good experience here for the Sunday lunch buffet. I appreciate that they served fresh food even at 3 p.m., which you don't always see. The variety of dishes was impressive and the food was delicious and good value for the price. However, the ambiance could be improved as some tables were left uncleaned. If they can improve the cleanliness, it would be a perfect spot.“

Loved the punugulu snack—deep‑fried, crispy, and perfect with their chutney. A delightful starter that left me wanting more....

The biryani was absolutely delicious — perfectly cooked rice, tender meat, and rich aroma with just the right amount of spice. The mandi was flavorful and well-balanced, reminding me of the traditional Middle Eastern-style rice dishes with an Indian twist. I also tried a few items from their chat section, and every bite was bursting with freshness and taste — crisp, tangy, and perfectly spiced!😋👌

The staff were friendly, the service was quick, and the place had a warm, welcoming vibe. Definitely one of the best Indian restaurants I’ve tried recently. Highly recommend Desi Bites if you’re craving authentic and flavorful Indian food!✅“

“The food quality here is really good, especially the Chicken Tikka Biryani. However, I’m not happy with how the restaurant is maintained — it’s a bit smelly inside. I’m a regular customer and usually prefer takeout instead of dining in, but overall, the food itself is nice and flavorful.“

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.“

“Wow. I'm very impressed with Masala Wok. I ordered the Biryani Paneer 65. Extra hot.

Normally, when I order spicy food, it's never spicy enough. Not this time. It was spicy. Even though the spice was present, the flavors were there. There was layers upon layers of different spices that I enjoyed.

I could only eat half of the meal because of the spice. However, I ate the rest the next day and had the same great experience.

I will 100% eat here again.“

“Great food! We were surrounded by only Indian patrons, so this says all you need to know about the cuisine. Staff was nice, but sparse, no their fault. Didn't meet a manager, or even see one, certainly not an owner that stopped at the table on a Friday night. Dropped nearly $300 for three guests, but alas, the company was superb!“

“I stopped in for a late lunch grab and go while in the area. 1st time here and a lover of Indian cuisine. I chose the Lunch Box special from selections available at the hot bar counter. The chicken curry, in house basmati rice and cashew chicken appetizer was full of flavor, and the perfect of mid-level spice I like. For $12.98 I walked away with enough food for 3 plentiful meals! Also included was a side of chutney and small dessert cup and a drink. The Ladies serving were Friendly. I will certainly return when I'm in the area.“

While there were no mutton dishes, the spread included chicken biryani, chicken curry, butter chicken, tandoori chicken, a fish appetizer, naan, idli, and a variety of vegetarian options. Overall, the selection was satisfying for the price. We’d be happy to return in the future as long as the buffet price remains reasonable.“
