One of our favorite place to eat..
We did catering with this restaurant and they never disappoint us in serving the delicious food. Their Idli, chutney’s and veg Biryani are SUUUPER YUM…
Our guest totally enjoyed their food and appreciated..
It’s always fresh, flavorful, and full of variety. After being impressed with their catering, we recently visited Malgudi Gardens for their dinner buffet. They have a lot of variety in their buffet and we enjoyed every bite we eat there. We all liked almost everything. It’s a vegetarian restaurant and the BEST part is their food is NOT too much Oily and not too spicy. Our kiddos were able to eat it too.
Everything was so perfect. The staff is incredibly kind and their hospitality really stands out..
Highly recommend!

The new mgmt has buried down the good name this restaurant gained over years. The buffet gets only 50% of the items refilled. This seems to be intentional and not because they couldn't handle the crowd. They simply don't care if people complain about the items not getting refilled.

This restaurant is a gem for anyone who loves authentic Indian vegetarian food. The buffet is outstanding and packed with options. They have live dosa stations, live pani puri, and live chaats, which are all made fresh right in front of you. The garlic naan comes out hot and soft, the bhature are perfectly fluffy, and there are so many delicious subzis to choose from. The mango lassi and tea are fantastic, and the variety of traditional Indian sweets is impressive.
The food quality is consistently excellent, everything tastes fresh, and the flavors are spot-on. The staff is warm, polite, and hardworking — I truly appreciate everyone for making the experience so enjoyable. This place is absolutely worth visiting!

we were here on Friday night 12/05.
The north Indian veg buffet is very good.
All the items we had are upto the mark.
The spice ratios were perfectly used.
No extra oil in any item.
The live counters of dosa/chaat/bhel/pani puri/ dahi puri are perfect spot for the kids and youngsters.
We would love to come back.

Used Malgudi gardens for my daughter’s wedding. Very great food! The food we ordered was delivered on time and was made with good quality ingredients.

The chutneys are served stale straight from the fridge. Please check for quality before you serve it to people. As soon as I opened the chutneys they had rotten stench and the sambar gave me stomach pain.

I’ve been to this restaurant many times, but had a horrible experience during my latest visit. It was buffet night, and they were also serving bhature from the kitchen. The buffet was supposed to start at 6 PM — we arrived around 6:10, and nothing was ready. It finally started around 6:30 with only a few items out.
We told the server right away that we wanted bhatures. She said they weren’t ready yet. Fine. We waited 15 minutes, asked again — still not ready. Asked again after another 10 minutes — still nothing. At this point I went to the manager, who told me “10 minutes.” That turned into another 30 minutes. And then the best part? I watched the server happily serve bhature to other tables while completely ignoring us.
When we asked her again, she actually said, “You could have reminded me.” Seriously? How many times were we supposed to remind her? We’d been doing nothing but reminding her. Her attitude was rude, she talked back, and it honestly shocked me. She showed zero professionalism or basic manners.
We finally had enough, paid, and walked out. I told the guy at the front desk the entire experience, and he couldn’t have cared less. Gave a fake “sorry” and didn’t even bother to ask what happened or try to make anything right.
And it doesn’t stop there — they only serve samosas at 7 PM, and they never refilled them. We didn’t even get to taste one. Same with the custard — never refilled the entire time we were there.
This was hands down one of the most frustrating and disappointing dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. The service was careless, the staff was rude, and the whole operation felt unorganized.
I don't think I am ever going to this restaurant again.
Ive been in DFW all my life and been going here since I was a kid, but the last few years my family and I hadnt been, so we thought lets pay a visit, bad idea. The atmosphere was as lively as we remember it to be, however the restraunt felt... bad. The buffet style was missing food, and it took foreever for my food to come. After we got the food however we were still dissapointed. The food tastes... bland. Incredibly bland. Me and my family honestly just left dissapointed and ended up getting better food from elsewhere. Very dissapointed in the deteriorating serivce and food from these past few years, wishing yall make a comeback someday.

Weekday buffet. Went around 1.45 pm, and was the only customer there.
Wish they had at least 1 appetizer apart from vada. Idly, dosa and naan were ok. Disappointed with their choice of main dishes. Not a very satisfying experience.
