I was really craving some Indian food, and this place came recommended by some of my coworkers. I tried the mutton curry, which was absolutely delicious, the chicken 65, the chicken biryani, and the beef kebab along with some butter naan. The chicken 65 exceeded my expectations- it was so flavorful, juicy, and tender. The biryani was delicious. The naan had just the perfect balance of crispy and soft, and the kebabs were delicious, especially when dipped in their chutney. I will definitely order from here again. Everything came hot and fresh, and the portions were very generous. read more

If there were a zero(0) star, I would give five of them. Last Friday I bought three boxes of beef biryani. The food did not taste fresh at all. There were only a few pieces of meat & fill the box with rice. I never seen this kind of fraud before. The food smelled so bad. I'm not sure when they cooked the food but with how fast it came out and the taste, I thought they gave me previous day food with a new packet. What a waste of time & money! read more

Thank you for good food I will be continue as a customer Who love your Briani chicken read more

Definitely a great place to have your authentic Indian The prices are great, the portion sizes are wonderful, and the staff is friendly My girlfriend and I really enjoy this place Only thing I wish is that the food on the counter wasn't at room temperature and reheated or at least that the customers wouldn't see it read more

Went there last Sunday. Ordered their Karachi Mutton Biriyani. I've tried mutton biriyani in every India/Pak restaurants in multiple states but for the first time last 23 years, I believe I've found my dream place for Goat biriyani. Properly spiced, flavored thru all the layers, awesome presentation, fresh, ample amount of meat and will remind you of Goat Biriyani you had at weddings or restaurants back home. Ate one there and took 2 to go. Planning on my next unscheduled Dallas visit soon just to go eat there again. Service was phenomenal as well. read more

I have been a regular customer of this place since it open in the strip mall with other south asian shops. It is right off the highway and allows for a quick grab while you are doing your regular grocery shopping. It is no a fancy restaurant are more of a causal dining with bearable service. The food packed punch in terms of flavor and quantity esp the Dum hayderabadi biryani. However, the quality has been constantly going down hill in the last few months with no growth in service. The food doesn't taste the same anymore and feels of the use of the same generic masala/sauce for diff recipes. The sides and additions are being slowly eliminated and people at the counter has no answer for the cause of these changes. It is disappointing to see one of few high rated place with actual good food going down hill with each day. Unless they improve, I have no plans of going back. read more

My family and I have been here on multiple occasions. The food is always tasty with nice portions. The staff are always friendly and helpful. We will continue to be regular customers. read more

As good as their food is, their service sub par, beyond belief! I had called in an order and was told it'll be ready in 30 mins. I arrive 30 mins later only for them to realize they forgot to call it in, and asked me to wait another 30 mins. Now at this point any other restaurant would profusely apologize for the oversight, and would offer to discount some items, or just offer the meal for free. Not only did I not receive an apology, the girl at the register disappeared into the kitchen repeatedly, other restaurant staff completely ignored me and my questions. I decided to forgo the chicken karara item which would take extra time and just asked for my biryani order. When my order was finally ready for pickup, the girl at the register put it in a bag and said, "It is ready", gestured to the bag and left it on the counter. No apology, nothing. I'm tired of Indian restaurants thinking as long as you get your food, bad service is ok. It was a frustrating experience and I won't be recommending them to anyone. Highly incompetent staff. read more

I ordered here recently and LOVE their good. I got the tikka masala with naan. Just to let you know if you order their briyani, its definitely made to share. read more

Their Hyderabadi Mutton Biryani is too good and could not get this kind of genuine hyderabadi biryani anywhere in Dallas I tried hyderabadi chicken it was not up to the mark and do try their mirchi ka salan it was a best pair up with mutton Biryani read more

Chicken biriyani is absolutely amazing. Pakistani style -great flavor, good quantity, and great price. $7.99 a box if I am not wrong. Please check out this place and support this business. The people here are very good. A hidden gem in the Irving area. read more

See all

This is one of the best places in Irving for Indian food. The food tasted amazing. The best Indian food I have had in Texas. The price is also very affordable. The people were very friendly and the service was also very good. read more

Easily some of the best food I've had in Dallas and I try on many many restaurants whenever I'm traveling or when I lived in Los Angeles for many years. Their Hyderabad dum biryani you can't go wrong with. I must have had it 10-15 times and have not been disappointed. I've yet to find a better biryani place. Definitely recommend it. read more

Excellent Roti rolls, perfect amount of spice for the Chicken 65. Quick fresh, fast, and friendly service.

Yummy! Just had Nihari. Super authentic! Loved the Naan and the mint yogurt chutney. Will definitely go back! read more

Deccan Grill - Nihari with Naan. Outstanding! - Indian Near Me - Irving, Texas

I went for lunch there today with the office friends... ordered goat biriyani.... amount came was huge... the biriyani had mo flavor used colored rice.... the rice was not fragrant. Bit i would give one star for the amount. The price was too much for biriyani.... $14. I am foodie and I criticize bad food my friends give lot of value to my opponents opinion about food... Biriyani need to be cooked under 'dum' so that the fragrance and aroma distributes equally... this is Just colored rice and goat curry.... if the restaurant does not know how to make biriyani please dont call it so... those who are eating will get a wrong understanding of a delicate dish... not recommended... read more

If there were a negative star, I would give five of them without blinking my eyes. The services are horrible, the old man probably the owner struggling to keep up with the pace. Not enough staffing to run the business. Food is beyond the description that I can put it together. Buffet bar looks horrible with limited items. Chicken Tikka was cold, and other dishes were not eatable to my taste. The chicken curry was overpowered with turmeric. Everyone had to wait for over ten minutes for a Nunn. Cleanliness was below American standard, not again in this life for sure. read more

Service: 1-2/5 Food: 2/5 Drink selection: 2 Wait time after ordering- 3/5 Value: 1.5/5 Overall: 1.5/5 This restaurant doesn't present itself well. Not a place to take a family or a group. They should stick to take out-- but seriously improve the quality of the product. Their food is okay but the meat is cheap and of poor quality. They are almost always out of Chai and their plastic utensils and plates scream out for a 1/2 star rating. read more

It's a small place with little ambience but the food is delicious. It usually takes 20 mins to receive your order, but it's worth the wait. My favorite here is chicken achari and their naan is good as well. It's a hidden gem. read more

Best biryani in the DFW area. I have tried the chicken biryani, mutton biryani, veg biryani, seekh kebabs and more. Everything has been amazing. This is my regular place to go get a biryani to go. Highly recommended! read more

I have never been more saddened to write a review then this one. I have been going to this place for years and years and many of my friends have visited as well. We have been going since before they moved to this new location in the same strip mall. Recently I ordered takeout of their biryani which I have been eating for many years. I cannot tell you how disappointing this meal was. The recent reviews calling it flavorless are true. They seem to be using some generic boxed spice . Their mutton biryani had stringy, fatty meat bones... great for soup, but not biryani. The kheema was unbelievably without flavor and watery . I threw it out. I ordered 3 naans - only got one. Have the owners changed - has the chef left ? I don't know what happened to this gem but eventually , they will fail if they don't go back to what they are known for - quality food at affordable prices. Even their chicken samosas which were fabulous , now have more onions than chicken. Looks like they are trying to cut corners to maximize profit and in the food business, that always backfires. Looking for a new place I guess . This is truly so sad. How does one of the best Indian places become so awful within months? Sad read more

Like many of the hole in the wall South Asian restaurants, the food here is tasty, plentiful and "like momma makes it". Probably because in the back momma is making it. I had a mutton biryani and a yogurt drink. Delicious. The bryani lasted 2 meals. Caution, don't go if you mind having bits of bone in your meat. The mutton was from the neck and required some careful navigation. Flavor mae up for it though. read more

I love this place! I used to go here weekly when I lived in Irving 6yrs ago. Although when I went recently they didn't offer the gyros like they used to. I know it's Indian food and gyros don't go with that but legit they used to sell them and they were delicious! Heck, I used to get a pint of the zazhki sauce each time, lol In all seriousness this place is mouth watering good & hands down they have THE BEST CHICKEN BIRIYANII I'VE EVER HAD! I've taken many of my food lover friends and they agree. A++++++++ read more

Tried their chicken biryani for the first time and loved it! Definitely one of the best I have tried here in Irving! Closest to the actual chicken biryani (Karachi style..if you know what I mean lol!) read more

I ordered the Hyderabad dum chicken biryani. Every bite was full of spices and flavor. The biryani is flavortown. I'm not an expert on indo-pak food but this is definitely the best biryani I've ever tried and I've had quite a few biryanis from different Indian restaurants in the area. read more

Their Karachi Mutton Biryani was legendary, until a couple of months ago. Now the mutton is hard to find, the price is up by 20%, and the entire portion size has shrunk. Used to be great, not anymore. I used to drive 30 minutes to get their food, but now I wouldn't go if it was next door. Shame how good restaurants shoot themselves in the foot, by messing with a successful formula. read more

Was really excited to try this restaurant after having their food at several parties. We ordered the Hyderabadi mutton biryani and the goat curry. The food came super fast. We were starving so we dug right in. As soon as we had the first bite, we were disappointed. The food did not taste fresh at all. There was only a few pieces of meat in the biryani and the goat curry was so small for it being $11.99. We didn't even finish half of it and took it home. The food smelled so bad while we were driving home that we had to throw it out. I'm not sure when they cooked the food but with how fast it came out and the taste, it made us think it was not fresh. What a waste of money! read more

The food is very authentic and has a good amount of spice. They let you try the meat before you order, which is very helpful. The portions are also very generous. They are going to start buffet style for lunch and that seems very exciting! read more

I came here for an Iftar buffet and heard about their biryani and thought I'd try it out. Biryani was okay. Not as I expected, there was this strange scent/flavor to it like cinnamon or something, I can't really figure out what it was. I really wanted to try their haleem but it finished within 10 minutes and I wasn't able to try their haleem. People took bowls and bowls of it, so I'm guessing it must've been really good. Still, they should've made more so they could refill it. Their chicken 65 was AMAZING. Lots and lots of flavor. Also their chicken Karhai was good. Their mutton karhai also had a weird goat taste to it so I couldnt finish it. Their daal was so so so good! Haven't had good daal here and theirs was amazing. They also had chicken nuggets and fries which were good especially for kids. Naans are served fresh. Their dessert was suppose to be Kheer but it was the most milky kheer ever. Barely any rice in it. You can practically put it in a cup and drink it. Their chai was really really good if you like doodh pati/ cooked chai. Service was absolutely great. Very friendly staff considering there were so many people. They really care about the customers. I just wish they had the dates/rooh afza/samosas served at the tables individually beforehand so it would be easier to break the fast for people who are fasting and so that there wouldn't be much of a line. But it was nice of them to have a place to pray. Some things were great and some things were just okay. Great family place read more

Deccan Grill - Indian Near Me - Irving, Texas

Food was tasty and fresh. I tried mutton biriani and chicken 65.

Went here for lunch with a coworker recently. Ambiance is a bit dark but definitely an improvement over their previous location. We got there around 1230 it was pretty empty (maybe one other table with 3 people). I was a bit apprehensive about ordering but went ahead and did so. They didn't have any lunch specials only regular menu items and some weren't available (I.e dum biryani). Ended up ordering a chicken boti platter (comes with rice and naan) along with single chicken tikka leg and a chicken 65 appetizer. Took about 15-20 minutes for our food to come out. To my surprise, the food tasted really good. It came out fresh and flavorful. The portions were also fairly large for the price. The boti platter was my favorite. Chicken 65 was also very good. My coworker said the biryani was really good. Given the reviews I have seen on this place, perhaps I caught them on a good day. I will definitely go back and try their other items and see if that consistency stays around. read more

My Girlfriend and I like this place for their regular chicken biryani, it's her favorite. although, the other and more expensive biryani options are not so great.. Portions are huge, kind of too much for two of us. The owner is kinda pushy, not to us but to his employees. He needs to chill and let them run it, not keep looking over their shoulders and not be sort of rude to them, but we go there for Chicken biryani and we like it. read more

Biriyani and Tandoori is legit here. If you can not or will not eat spicy food then you don't belong here. (FYI: MOST INDIAN FOOD IS SPICY!) read more

Great food and best Biryani. Reasonable price. Customer service is great because of the Lady up front. All they need is Token/Table no system for more organized service. Definitely recommend to everyone. read more

Went there on a friday night. Got their chicken biryani and chicken tandoori. It took about 5-10min and it was delicious. I came to this place because the place nect door hot and spicy was full and i am glad i checked it out. Deccan prices are great and the food was flavorful. The chicken biryani had full HOT peppers in it which is the first time I have seen that. Other than that it was great tasting. Would def go back read more

Biriyani was awesome, better taste and good quantity for a reasonable price. Most of the curry have good piece of chicken and quantity is good. meat quality is amazing. read more

The best biryani I have had by a long shot. Chicken tastes great. Spice is great. Halal too. Highly recommend it

Owner is good but sometimes he forgets so need to remind and Hyderabad Biryani is my favorite . Which is made too order here

This was my first time experiencing the Deccan Grill. I was in town for one day, and found myself craving Indian/Pakistani. I ordered the butter chicken to go. It came with a healthy portion of rice, but I wish they were that generous with the chicken. The flavors were excellent. The atmosphere in the restaurant was dead so I was happy with my choice to go with carry out. However, when I got to my hotel I discovered they didn't provide me with any plastic wear. Final not, I tried ordering a samosa, but they were either out of them or didn't make them. It was a menus item though. read more

Chicken tikka masala & butter chicken were GREAT, but spicy! Chicken curry was ok - didn't expect bones - exceptionally spicy. We ordered medium spice. Naan was freshly made and very good! 3 meals, $29. Large portions. Will definitely be back but will order mild. Not a place you want to sit down at eat. Take out place for sure. Average price of an entree is $9, which about going rate for Indian in Irving. Woman at check was very nice. read more
