Desi Chowrastha is a Grocery store with Restaurant for casual sit down or to go…read more The online menu is massive with different sections for different type of Food. If you are new to Indian food a great place to start is Butter Chicken and Tikka Masala. As you start to understand the flavor profiles you interests will grow. If you have questions you can use AI to look up what the dishes might look like and flavor profiles. Another great option is to find a friend who enjoys Indian food and they help with flavor profiles. The ready made food they keep a series of finger food, naan ( flat bread) and specialty items. Then they have a separate cabinet for cakes and sweets. I would stress to be conscious of your spice levels. My preference is hot and I enjoy the heat. When trying new Indian dishes I get mild because they blend the spices and it can seem spicer. Yogurt and naan bread can help with this. Right now, we are working our way through this massive menu trying to find that dish that calls out to us. It's a darn tasty process. Chicken Dum Biryani (Medium, $16.99) - The rice was perfectly fragrant and cooked, layered with tender chicken and spicy sauce. Chicken Tikka Masala (Medium, $14.99) - Served with rice and Tandoor Roti, the sauce was creamy, balanced, and very aromatic, complementing the grilled chicken. Chettinad Chicken Curry (Medium, $14.99) - This dish packed a punch with authentic South Indian spices, paired with rice and warm Tandoor Roti. Bold, aromatic, and very satisfying. Pickup experience: this business is very busy, and expect crowds. This is a social event as much as a meal. The pickup was smooth and convenient. The order was ready on time, and all items were packaged appropriately. Desi Chowrastha offers a reliable, authentic Indian experience in Northlake. Food: 5 out of 5. Staff: 5 out of 5.

Visited Desi Chowrastha in Argyle with some friends. It's a unique spot--a grocery store and…read morerestaurant combo--but it was definitely crowded when we arrived. My friends ordered the onion samosas, chicken 65, punugulu, and onion pakora, and while their food came out surprisingly fast, the tea service was a different story. I ordered the Irani Chai, which was decent and tasted very similar to what you'd find in the Dallas area. However, the service for the tea was super slow. We, along with several other customers, had to wait in line for over 10 minutes before the staff even noticed us. It's a nice spot for a quick snack, but they definitely need to improve the flow at the tea counter!

I filled my bowl with pineapple, cheesecake yogurt, and coconut topping, then went to check out. That's when I was told my cup weighed 16 ounces and the total came out to $15 before tip. Apparently, on regular days, it's 75 cents per ounce, with additional charges for toppings. That was my first--and definitely last--visit. I'm not sure why they list it as a one-dollar spot, because this is clearly a $$$$ kind of place.... Denton, Texas
