50 Best Indian Restaurants near The Colony

“By far, the closest Hyderabad biryani you can get is at Hyderabad Wala.
Getting authentic Hyderabadi biryani right is extremely difficult — from the rice texture and spice balance to the aroma and dum flavor — and maintaining that consistency every single time takes an incredible amount of hard work, experience, and passion. That effort is clearly reflected in the food here.
A lot goes on behind the scenes to run a restaurant successfully, and it deserves appreciation and respect. If anyone ever has concerns, understanding and communication matter more than quick negativity. A single 1-star review does not define a restaurant, just as a 5-star review does not mean perfection every day.
We should support businesses built with dedication and heart. This place is a true Hyderabad gem and it continues to shine.
Please be kind, stay positive, and support local businesses 🌟“

“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.“

“Pretty solid spot. Had the Dahi puri and the pani puri, and they give you hefty portions. The food actually makes you want to finish every bite. The staff is really nice.

Only thing.. if you're not indian and you ask for spicy, they might still hold back. Just make sure you clarify that you can handle the heat.

Other than that, I’ll definitely be back. The Chicken 65 was especially good. The sugarcane juice was refreshing too. Overall, a great experience. I think I just found my new Indian spot close to home.“

“Excellent food quality and authentic flavors stand out here. The menu features many traditional favorites. Dosa arrives crisp and golden. Idli tastes soft and fresh. Sambhar adds comforting warmth. Chutneys balance the flavors nicely. Friendly service makes the visit better. A truly satisfying meal.“

“Loved our experience at Windmills Restaurant! Great indoor and lake view seating with amazing music and a perfect fine dining vibe. The Indian food was outstanding—every dish was a hit—and the fresh brewery beers made it even better.
We celebrated my cousin’s birthday and were pleasantly surprised with a complimentary dessert. The kids had fun watching ducks outside, and we ended the evening with a lovely walk around the restaurant. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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! ❤️“

“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.“

“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 butter chicken here is AMAZING! I have gone here twice and had a really good experience with my order. Although it is a bit pricy for my liking, the price is absolutely worth it for the quality of the food! I have also had an order of samosas here and they are absolutely delicious and FRESH. I am planning to come here again to try the Malai Kofta, super excited!“

“I can safely say now my search for authentic, better quality quintessential Maharashtrian products has to come a fruitful end! Purnima, a kind soul and genuinely nice person has started this initiative to bring in the best of products all the way from Pune! The line of brand includes Sohum Udyog, Ganesh Bhel, Gore Bandhu, etc! I was not quite aware about majority of the brands but I could quickly judge the taste and quality of the products once tried.

“Love how they stick to traditional recipes with premium taste. The naan was hot and fluffy, the kebabs perfectly chargrilled, and the Zaafran Special Chicken Curry – mind blowing!“

“The food here is simply incredible! Every dish is packed with flavor, and I can’t wait to enjoy it 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!“

“Amazing food, best in our area!“

“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.“

“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 🥰..“

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

“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!!!“

“The food was absolutely amazing! We tried the Mutton Biryani, Jalebi, and Onion Pakoda, and every single dish was bursting with authentic Indian flavors. Everything tasted outstanding! The prices were very reasonable, and the service was top-notch. Thank you for serving such delicious, truly authentic Indian food — we’ll definitely be back!“

“Nice and cool environment. Good for to go. Taste of the food was out of the world. Authentic Tamilnadu flavors.
Loved Mutton Special Biriyani, Kothu parotta, Parotta. All with authentic taste.

Ordered food for Birthday party, they are professional with taking orders and gave suggestions for combo.
Food are in hot pack and well packed, holds aroma and maintains temperature.
Delivered food on time, all tastes good. Made our day even more special with food.“

“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#“

“Absolutely loved the food here! Im from Hyderabad and I must say The biryani was flavorful, aromatic, and cooked to perfection- every bite tasted authentic and delicious. The portion sizes were generous, and the meat was tender and well-spiced. The service was quick and friendly, and the ambiance was clean and comfortable. If you’re a biryani lover, Salem RR Biryani is definitely a must-visit. Highly recommended! 🍛🔥“

“very good food and excellent customer service.“

“This place has the best Bengali cuisine prepared in special home-made style. Excellent Bengali cooking!!“

“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.“

“Simply superb food - I've not had better anywhere, ever, over the decades and dozens of Indian restaurants. Even the rice and naan are special and amazing.“

“Bay Leaf Garden is one of the best spots for authentic Kerala food in the DFW area. Everything tasted fresh, well-spiced, and true to South Indian flavors.

The aviyal was excellent — balanced coconut flavor, perfectly cooked vegetables, and not overly heavy. The beef fry was outstanding: tender, deeply spiced, and clearly cooked with care. The chili chicken had great heat and flavor without being greasy, and the porotta was soft, flaky, and exactly how it should be — perfect for pairing with the curries and fry.

You can tell this is food made for people who actually know Kerala cuisine, not toned down or generic. Portions were solid and the flavors really stood out.

Highly recommend if you’re looking for real Kerala-style food rather than standard Indian restaurant fare. This is my go to for anytime I am craving Kerala food.“

“Amazing food and service a lady,s name is harminder she s so nice n humble ,I ordered chicken tikka masala they gave me 1 dal and muttar paneer and rice with that ,highly recommend this place I really enjoy their fresh food will definitely come back“

“this place was a spur of the moment decision but I'm so happy I did. some of the absolute best food I've had in a minute. the spinach paneer curry was so good. life changing lol. I'm really impressed.“

“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!“

“Ask for Bangladeshi dish menu, they are still making adjustments from their previous specials they offered with South Indian cuisine. HANDS DOWN THE BEST DESI FOOD EVER!! I’m a local and come to this place every single day any chance I get and the staff are so welcoming and friendly. I usually dine In but they also take catering with dishes you can request ahead of time for anything parties, festivals, etc. This place has super flavorful Bangladeshi and desi food like you’d get back home or at weddings and special occasions so I’ll be ordering large trays for meals for the week. And everything is fresh and made to order- unlike other desi spots here so that checks every box on my list. Best prices too super afford For high quality halal meat + dishes. Even if I lived farther I would definitely be coming at least every few days the food is just addicting“

“Love the unlimited Gujarati thali. Such a good menu so many varieties and good service! Friendly staff!“

“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.“
