Whenever I miss Indian food, I love coming to Dallas to satisfy my cravings. There are a lot of Indian restaurants in the city, and since I love traveling and trying different foods, I've almost covered every Indian restaurant in Dallas. Recently, I visited Cafe Osmania in McKinney and though they are newly opened, I've already become a regular especially for their chai and biskets. The chai here makes me feel like I'm back home in India. It's just wow and the biskets are so soft and flavorful. I also love the vibe of the place small, cute and with a touch of Hyderabadi attitude. The people are so warm and welcoming. There's a guy at the store named Gynashwar I asked him to recommend something and he told me to try their paya, mutton marag, and malai paya. Since the first time I tried then they became my favorites. The flavors genuinely surprised me. The paya reminded me of Hotel Niagara and Sohail Hotel back in Hyderabad and the malai paya tasted just like the one from Bismillah Hotel. We Hyderabadis love Shadab and Bismillah, especially Bismillah it's open all night and serves incredible food after hours. Honestly, it feels like they've copied the recipe perfectly and are serving it right here in Dallas. The malai paya is just excellent I absolutely love it and have become a huge fan. I now visit at least three times a week and try different dishes every time.
Since this place opened, I am no more missing asli authentic Hyderabadi food. The marag is next level. Everything here is amazing. I can confidently say their biryani is the best in town RANK 1 for authentic Hyderabadi biryani. It reminds me of Cafe Bahar back home and it's my fav it makes me feel I am eating there and let's talk about the malai bun oh my god! Just by looking at the texture, you'd rate it 100/100. The feel, the texture, the taste just wow! After work, I always stop by for chai and malai bun they're both simply delicious.
I asked Gynashwar whether they make everything homemade and he proudly told me they make everything fresh in-house nothing is store bought. I even asked to take a look at their back kitchen and the staff were super clean and busy preparing fresh cakes, pastries, and puffs. I could see the passion in their work and I genuinely loved the process.
From the bottom of my heart I want to say i love you people! The way you're making food with such care and authenticity you'll definitely become number one in town very soon I promise! From cream buns to puffs, pastries, and everything else they truly make the best in town. I even started ordering cakes from them for birthdays and parties. Everyone who's tried them has loved the taste and been surprised at how good it is!!!!
Overall, everything is top-notch, and I would rate it 100 out of 100 read more
