“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.“

“Indian food is something our family is very much into. We are new to the area and this place is pretty close to our house, so after a couple of beers at “Almost Home” we walked the 20ft to this place to give it a shot. We have no regrets. Sincerely, some of the best Indian food we have ever had. There’s some beers that aren’t on the menu that they should probably advertise more, but other than that the food and drink selection was great. Their house specials are exceptional, and everyone was very polite and concerned about our experience. We will come back, for sure.“

“Our waiter was very helpful on what to order as it was our first time eating South Indian Food. We enjoyed our food. 3 of us. we all got a variety of meals and shared it.“

“A Gem for Authentic South Indian (Tamilian) Food!

I ordered the idli and dosa with chicken curry, and it was a genuinely satisfying meal from start to finish.

The idlis were steamed to absolute perfection — soft, fluffy, and exactly what you’d hope for. The coconut chutney and sambar on the side were both delicious and complemented the idlis beautifully. The dosa was thin but not crispy, which is exactly my preference — so if you like yours the same way, you’ll be happy here.

The chicken curry was the one dish that was a bit too spicy for my palate, but honestly, that’s just me — most people who enjoy a bold, well-spiced curry will find it just right.

What really sets Sindhus apart is the selection of homemade Indian snacks. They are absolutely delicious and a must-try — don’t leave without picking some up!

If you’ve been looking for an authentic taste of Tamil Nadu, this is the spot. Highly recommend — go give it a try!“

“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.“

“The customer service was impeccable“

“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 to this restaurant and it was DELICIOUS!! Flavors of multiple dishes was outstanding and authentic. We will definitely be back and plan to try takeout next time. This is a relaxed place with no frills. The food is 5 star for sure!“

“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?“

“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.“

“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.“

“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! ❤️“

“Food was amazing and so was the service. I ordered food to go at the bar with Annie. She was kind and took time to explain the different meal options and some suggestions to try the next time I come.
For those looking for great chicken tikka masala and butter chicken - try this place!“

“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“

“The best restaurant we have eaten with the most delicious food with outstanding quality and authentic ingredients and customer service is very good. We have tried so many restaurants but this is the best with even prices are very reasonable but quality top notch.“

“Food was so yummy 😋 . Tons of varieties was there 😳. Service was so good . Neat and clean . Today we went with my family at lunch. I will recommend with my friends and relatives go and have it .I am giving 5 rating 🥰..“

“very good food and excellent customer service.“

“The food was good, but the management and service were very disappointing. I had to call the staff 3–5 times just to place my order and ask simple questions.

It seemed like only two employees were actually working, while the others were standing in a corner chatting. This is not the level of service customers should expect.

My order was also incomplete—I didn’t receive the chutneys, and there weren’t enough spoons or forks provided.

I hope the management addresses these service issues, as the quality of the food is being overshadowed by the poor customer experience.“

“Excellent taste 👌 Masala puri must try!!“

“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#“

“This was my first time visiting this restaurant, and I recently tried their weekend lunch buffet. It was excellent, with a wide variety of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes.
The service was outstanding—definitely 5/5. A lady staff member and a tall gentleman (around 6 feet) were especially friendly, attentive, and provided exceptional service.
The ambience was pleasant, and the restaurant, including the restrooms, was very clean and well maintained. I had a great experience and would definitely recommend this place!“

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

“Very enjoyable experience.“

“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.“

“The food was very tasty and authentic, especially the biryani and starters. The spices were perfect, and the portions were generous. Everything was served hot and fresh. The staff were polite, and the service was quick. The place has a simple, family-friendly Indian restaurant atmosphere.

Overall, a great spot for Hyderabadi food, definitely visiting again.“

“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!❤️“

“I was looking forward to trying the non-veg thali, but after ordering I was informed that it wasn’t available for takeaway and had to switch to the Vijayawada Special Chicken Biryani instead. A bit disappointing, but the biryani was tasty and satisfying. Overall, good food and I’ll be back to try the thali dine-in“

“Excellent food and service!!! Keep it up the authentic aroma and deliciousness!!! 👍👏“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Desi Bites in Plano is a good spot for proper Hyderabadi-style food. The biryani, haleem, and other dishes are rich in flavor and feel authentic, especially for a quick casual place. Portions are generous, and the food is satisfying. A solid choice when you’re craving real desi comfort food.“

“Wonderful atmosphere and great service, would highly recommend“

“Very friendly staff. Buffet was outstanding. We were traveling with two pups and they allowed us to eat outside on their patio. Highly recommend !“

“Visited again today, and once again the food was fresh, delicious, and full of flavor. The service was exceptional, making the experience even better. The Madru Ki Chaat, Malai Kofta, and Gulab Gulkand were absolutely outstanding—highly recommended! Looking forward to visiting again soon.“

“Finally decided to try Jashan and we were not disappointed. It’s a beautiful venue and offers a varied menu with dishes from across India. Service by Roy was cordial and not rushed. Jashan lives up to the hype and fills the gap as a premier Indian restaurant in North Dallas. We will definitely go back!“
