“Ordered take out for special boneless chicken biryani, wow wow wow wow.. it’s better than the biryani at most places in Hyderabad, India

The moment I opened the box, the Flavours and aroma it was all over the house . I knew it might hit the spot, after tasting few bites. Wow the best Hyderabad biryani ever I had in USA, there is some magic in their recipe.

And quantity ? Wow it beats any other restaurant in Dallas or any other state I had , the rice ratio, chicken ratio , everything is more than sufficient for 2 people

The rice is perfectly dum rice , so flavourful, cooked to perfection and fluffy

And boneless chicken pieces with perfect amount of spice juiciness, complementing the perfect aroma of Hyderabad biryani rice. It was something else .

This will be my go to from now forHyderabad biryani.“

“Vanessa, our server, turned this from another meal out, to a memorable experience. Excellent service, excellent food, excellent atmosphere overlooking the water. We’ll come back. I had the biryani, my wife had the butter chicken. Both were good.“

“Food was fantastic“

“Everything was delicious!!“

“In this semi-table service counter order establishment, the Fish Thali is a pure delight for pescatarians and almost every dish was cooked to perfection except for the two fried fish dishes. They were definitely a tad over-cooked bit still pretty darn good.

The fish curry, crab curry and sambar were out of this world. Net-net the food was a 4.75 stars. The pulkas took a little longer than we anticipated but we're delicious when they came out. Assuming it took time to make fresh chapatis?

The Goat-sukha was also amazing.

Will definitely be going back.“

“Food is so important to the overall success of a wedding. Guests that are well-fed with delicious food are happy guests. In our case, selecting the right vendor was complicated by the fact that it was a blended wedding with many attendees who had never eaten Indian/ Gujarati food before. It is even more difficult to find a caterer who prepares a Gujarati menu well! We found Priya and company of Sawaii through our wedding planner and they were quite the find!! Our experience with Priya and her crew started with 2 different meetings where they prepared menus for the 2 lunches and 2 dinners that could be offered to our guests. They included a full Gujarati menu as well as many fusion items that would satisfy every guest’s tastes. We had the opportunity to sample, select our favorites and make adjustments to spice levels. Radha and Connor’s two day wedding celebration was the true test of Priya and her crew’s talents..they passed with flying colors. Much of the food was cooked on the premises so that it was very fresh. ALL the food was delicious! The paneer and chicken taco station was a big hit as well as the chat station. Our guests were VERY happy indeed! Thank you to all at Sawaii catering….we so enjoyed the results of your culinary talents… The Patel and McNicholas Family“

“Yesterday (07/30), we dine in at this place for one of our memorable days....really good choice to dine in....

We know this restaurant as Veg but later we came to know they changed as Non Veg recently....

We had many dishes out of the top notch was Fish Amirstrai and Rava Dosa. Rava Dosa was in perfect consistency and flavor....It's been long time I had no such Rava dosa across US.....

Their Rava dosa is highly recommended....

Gidion was highly patience who took all our food specifications and served us with smiling face...“

The food was made really well, the coffee was very good.
The staff were friendly and courteous.“

Everything I ordered was soooo good with tons of flavor they have a lot of choices on the menu regardless of your dietary restrictions. You can find something tasty!! Plus they make their nann bread fresh!!! I would highly recommend. I can't wait to go back.“

“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.“

“This is an Indian restaurant with a variety of dishes starting from starters to desserts. This is also a good place to take away from the restaurant and also can plan for snacks in the evening. Why don't you give it a try and enjoy a day ?
This is a very good option for take away, preferably dining during the weekend.

Vegetarian options: Have both vegetarian and non vegetarian options here. It also offers vegetarian breakfast options.

Kid-friendliness: Kids will enjoy the food and at last, have a good ambience at the restaurant to have fun for kids as well“

“If you’re craving food with a home-cooked taste, this is the spot. The vintage ambiance and cozy seating make it even more inviting. The staff is incredibly friendly, and I’m thrilled to have found a place serving authentic Tamil Nadu-style cuisine.“

“Authentic South Indian pure vegetarian restaurant. Taste and quality is great! Service is fast and friendly. 5stars!“

“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“

“If you’re craving authentic Hyderabadi food, this spot is a must-try! Their biryani is honestly some of the best I’ve ever had—perfectly spiced, full of flavor, and they don’t skimp on the portion size. The chicken 65 is incredible, crispy with just the right kick, and the beef tahari they serve on Fridays is good if you want warm spicy kick.And if you’re into paya, theirs is so rich and flavorful, it tastes like something straight from a home kitchen. The food here feels like a treat every time, with both quality and quantity that keep me coming back!“

“This place is a recent gem opened in June 2024 in same location where Asian Pot used to exist. An amazing punjabi family owned restaurant. Very very tasty food and flavors are authentic. You will love the food, price and hospitality they have offered. Found this place through a random search on google maps and it was an amazing experience. A must try ! Will be back soon.“

“Delicious South Indian food: We tried many dosa varieties (ghee karma, Mysore and rava masala dosa). They are served hot with 6 different chutneys. Their desserts were fresh as well. The
Paneer starters (Paneer majestic, 65) are a must try.
The waitresses (Jyothi and Harika) were patient and helpful.“

“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.“

“The chicken Tikka masala and vegetable samosa were so yummy! I'd love to try something different next time!“

“Rayalaseema Ruchulu is a culinary landmark that truly lives up to its name. Pachi mirchi chicken appetizer was delicious, the taste was excellent with tender, flavorful pieces of chicken perfectly cooked and generously spiced. Chicken Tikka Kebab and Chicken fry piece biryani is a must try. The ambiance is lively and welcoming, making it an ideal spot for family gatherings or casual outings with friends.

The service is prompt, and the staff is friendly ensuring a seamless dining experience. Highly recommended eatery in Dallas!“

“A HIDDEN GEM. Don't walk, RUN to this place. Since life happens, I don't get to enjoy homemade south indian food anymore. This place fills my heart because the food is exactly how your Amma would make it (probably better). It's family owned and they're so kind.
Seriously places like this is where you always get the best food. If you're looking for authentic Kerala food, this is it.
Writing this I'm thinking of the yummy pirottas and beef curry. Love it!!!“

“Best Halal restaurant in plano . The server gave good service. The food taste same like as in karachi. Authentic Halal Pakistani Cuisine in plano texas.“

“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 🥰..“

“We recently hosted my son's 21st birthday party at Towndesis, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The ambiance was perfect for our celebration, with a warm and inviting atmosphere!

The staff went above and beyond to ensure that our event was smooth and enjoyable.

The highlight of the day was, of course, the food. Each one of our guests enjoyed!

Overall, Towndesis exceeded our expectations in every way. Thanks to Karthik and his staffs!!“

“The food was really good, so the prices. I will visit it next time too. Hope everyone can give it a try.“

“My family and I loved the restaurant. The taste was very good and the staff is friendly.
A lot of food options from which we have tried biryani, Mysore masala dosa, appam with coconut milk, ghee idli. All of them turned out to be delicious.
This became our favorite spot in the area.“

“The mutton biryani was flavorful, chicken biryani was good. The chicken kebabs and andhra chilli chicken are the best. The kokum sherbet had me reminiscing about the summer vacation to my uncle's home in vaibhavwadi. The food is authentic badoota, outside mysuru. oota sakath aagide guru. The portions are good. Fresh ingredient are used. The chef deserves the compliments, for recreating the naati flavors of mysuru in Texas.

Kid-friendliness: Except the andhra chilli chicken, the food is not spicy. Good for kids.“

“Amazing food, best in our area!“

“The food was good but it was more like a snack than a dinner. It was to small for the amount it cost. It used to be better, the new management has changed their services. For the amount charged you can get plenty food in other places. As much as we liked the food I am not sure we will go back again.“

“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!“

“Catered food from Arunachala restaurant for pooja at our house. Ordered sambar vada, Pongal, idli, poori ,channa masala and pineapple kesari. All the menu items were excellent and everyone who came for the pooja enjoyed the food. Food was perfect with the right amount of spice.This is the best catering experience I have had in Dallas. Would highly recommend this place for catering your future events.“

“For a change a great restaurant that is more focused on quality vs quantity of people it can cater to. Think boutique restaurant and the owners are normally checking on each table. The staff is really nice, we stuffed ourselves with a lot of good freshly made food.

Dietary restrictions: They catered to No onion No garlic food.“

“Ordered the chicken pakoda and samosa, and I must say, I was pleasantly surprised! First off, the food was incredibly fresh and piping hot, straight from stove.
What truly stood out, though, was their exceptional customer service. We stopped by for a late-night snack after 10 pm, a time when their system usually only offers the main course menu. Despite this, the staff went above and beyond to accommodate us, making sure we could still enjoy the starters we were craving. Their “customer first” attitude really made our experience memorable.

I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great meal and a wonderful time. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Best place to have authentic south tamilnadu taste. Have been here a couple of times, Don't miss the biriyani combo and kalaki. Have been trying other restaurants around the area and so far this is the goto restaurant for Biriyani Combo . Avoid Schezwan foods or fried rice.“

“very good food and excellent customer service.“

“We had an amazing dinner with great service. Can't wait to see y'all again! #Soon“
