Another great local find in Allen! We stopped by Shivas Bar & Grill and really enjoyed our meal. We…read moreordered the Chicken Xacuti with naan, and it was so flavorful! The chicken was tender, well-seasoned, and coated in a rich, creamy sauce with just the right amount of spice. The naan was warm, soft, and perfect for scooping up all that sauce -- definitely the kind of meal where you don't want to leave anything behind. They have a pretty extensive menu with lots of Indian favorites, vegetarian options, biryanis, kebabs, and even some Desi-Chinese dishes, so there's plenty to come back and try. The restaurant itself was comfortable and relaxed, and the service was friendly and attentive. Overall, really good food and a nice experience. I'd definitely come back and explore more of the menu next time!

This chicken fried rice deserves its own standing ovation and a tiny velvet rope around the plate…read more Perfectly cooked rice, packed with flavor in every bite, and that little kick of spice? Absolute magic. Not "set your mouth on fire" spice... just enough to keep you going back for one more bite until suddenly the bowl is empty and you're questioning your life choices. The chicken was seasoned so well, the veggies added the perfect crunch, and everything tasted fresh instead of greasy like a lot of fried rice can be. Honestly, hands down better than any chicken fried rice I've had at a Chinese restaurant. Bold statement. Fully standing by it. And paired with that warm naan in the background? Certified comfort-food royalty. And we cannot forget the cleanliness of the dining area. You could literally eat off the floor. Surpasses the 5 sec rule!

No doubt bold flavors and traditional recipes! We were invited to a private "Supper Club" event at KOYLA; wow what a hidden gem! This event featured live jazz, and an accomplished painter creating art right before our eyes. The recommended entrees and wine pairings were perfect. See my pics! From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly welcomed. We met Chef Pankaj, obviously the heart and soul of KOYLA. He is well known for taking authentic dishes, creating his own versions, and offering you a meal that can only be found at his restaurant. The ambiance is beautifully designed to be flexible. Its spacious for regular dining but can also easily be converted to accommodate many guests for a special event. .. and still feeling intimate. KOYLA is one of those places you'll be glad you discovered!

I had never tried it before and thought it was fried tofu at first, but then I realized it's breaded Indian cheese. It was perfectly crunchy on the outside and firm, savory, and flavorful on the inside. I loved the layer of sauce inside the cheese--it added so much flavor. So good! The beef and chicken curries we ordered were also excellent--rich, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the complimentary rice. I'm already looking forward to trying more appetizers from this place next time!

The best South Indian food in Dallas, hands down. I always make it a point to bring my out-of-town…read morefriends and family here. I've probably been here 20 times and have only had a bad experience twice. Make sure you come on Saturday or Sunday (ideally as soon as they open) for the unlimited pandhi meal. On a banana-leaf lined plate, you'll get biryani (mutton is incredible), chicken 65, and some side dishes, including dessert. Waiters will come around serving you both veg and non-veg (usually fish, chicken, and mutton) curries. Nothing is too spicy and each dish has a unique flavor. Definitely get multiple rounds of biryani if you can. All this is only $22(!!!) The only time I've had a bad experience here is when I arrive later in the day and the place is already packed. Sometimes it's taken over an hour for my party and I to be seated. Still highly recommend (even if you've never had South Indian food before).

I'd still go again to see if the experience is better.
