This chicken fried rice deserves its own standing ovation and a tiny velvet rope around the plate. 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! read more

The chicken masala is my favorite. I was disappointed to see them cut the rice portion in half. When the restaurant opened the portion was good. It's not enough to eat with the chicken now. They are the only Indian restaurant that gives a tiny portion. read more

Their service is absolutely AWFUL. We walked in after a really terrible day and just want some comfort indian food and chai. The chai is overly sweet and they refused to give us refills. The person at the register was very rude and was reluctant to give us a to-go box. Ambiance was okay, but the atmosphere was just not good because of the service. They didn't bring the food to the table. The presentation of the food was terrible, just thrown onto these plastic plates. The dahi puri was terrible - no flavor, chai was not good, and the Chicken 65 was really a chicken salaan. Highly do not recommend. Will not be back. read more

Lovely place to visit in Allen for super casual dining ... The interior is quite spacious and the staff was very welcoming. More importantly the food was delish ... We got the Samosas and Onion Bhaji appetizers as we waited for our dinner. We had the Butter chicken w/Garlic Naan and the Mutton Dum Biryani. Portions for both were sumptuous and the flavors were awesome. Expect some self-service as before you sit as you will need to get your own plates, silverware & napkins .. No biggie though. Definitely a place to revisit and try some of the other items on the menu. read more

Sooo good. And very busy- others must think it's good too! Who ever was complying this is spicy? Nope. I even asked for spicy and not what I would consider as spicy. But so delicious! Easy access location for casual meal or order to go. And such large portions!! Great job and can't wait to come back. Also good vegetarian selection too! read more

The tandoori chicken is exceptional. The "snacks" are amazing too. Come in and explore this menu immediately. Caveat emptor: when I ordered the chicken, they did not mention anything about how long it will take. When I went back up to the counter after about 15 minutes, they told me oh, your chicken order will take 30 minutes. When I came back to the counter after 45 minutes, they said it will be another 15 minutes. I explained that I did not expect to wait for over an hour, and they recommended ordering in advance next time. Thankfully, the food was worth the wait. read more

The customer service was amazing. Instead of trying to read the menu up on the wall, the waiter gave me a physical copy which made it easier. The food is outstanding!! And the environment is nice and clean. Very open with a lot of sunlight. I also like the painted murals on the wall. They offer free water battles inside. Very nice establishment. read more

This place was absolutely terrible. From the quality of the food, to the service to the presentation. Every single thing was awful. We ordered chai, dahi puri, chicken 65, dosa, and samosas. The only item that was remotely good was samosas, that's all. We received the dahi puri 20 minutes after we finished our meal and after reminding the staff multiple times, which also looked like it was just tossed together and handed to us. Don't even get me started on the service. This place is a disaster. I want to go throw up so I can enjoy a meal somewhere else!! read more

The overall service was wonderful! Sneha was the main staff member who helped us. Although the food was pretty good, what we appreciated most was the service itself. I want to highlight Sneha and her outstanding customer service, she was incredibly sweet, accommodating, and courteous. It's pretty much a self-serve concept, you order at the counter, choose a table, and your food is brought to you, but you grab your own plates and utensils. They even provide bottled water. As for the food, the portions were generous, which was great! The fried shrimp noodles was delicious, and the rice items were good too, though not quite up to the mark. The curry leaf chicken was excellent, with great flavor. The vegetarian rice was a bit disappointing, but we had customized it to include gobi (as in with gobi mancharian that my friend pictured), so it didn't quite hit the spot, though I'd say wasn't the restaurant's fault. Sneha helped us change the dish, but it still didn't meet my friend's expectations. That said, Sneha was upfront that it might not turn out as expected, and she still went out of her way to have it custom-made, which we truly appreciated. read more

I usually order from DoorDash so this review is for those. Butter Chicken - 5/5 and easily one of my top 3 in the area. Very creamy and flavorful, and the chicken was so incredibly tender Tikka Masala - 5/5 basically it's the butter chicken plus bell peppers and onions. I didn't think it could get better than the butter chicken but that's exactly how to make it better, in my book. Naan - 3/5. One of the weaker naans in the area. Can't tell that the butter naan has any butter on it and it's not very fluffy. Rice - 2/5. I just want plain rice on the side. Whatever I got had far too much going on and I didn't like the flavor when trying to eat my curry. Chicken 65 - 5/5 absolutely spot on delicious. Interior - 2/5. Typical for this genre of restaurant...this is not the sort of place I'd want to dine in. You certainly can, but it's lacking on the interior. I picked up my second order from here and would not recommend dining in. Service - N/A since I did not dine in. Price - 4/5 Overall I'm super excited about this being my new takeout place. I've tried a lot of basic white girl Indian dishes around the area and this one is by far the best. I just wish their naan was better and their rice was plain. Realistically I should give the place a 4/5 for that, but their chicken tikka is just that good. read more

We ordered lunch online and the food was delicious!!Our order was ready on time and everything was correct. It's a cute casual place with very fresh and flavorful food! 10/10 will definitely be back! read more

if you do not know anything about the food, recommend you either study before coming or don't come. all about trying other cultures, but no one could explain anything to me. wound up with really hot tea and spicy food. not what I was really going for. tasted good though. I know better if I come back read more

I ordered the chicken tikka masala and felt very authentic and delicious! I would definitely recommend this restaurant!

Good breakfast buffet. Hot Dosa and Poori and good breakfast choice. They should add Tea to the buffet and ik improve quality of Sambar.

I took my kid here for lunch & asked if the food is spicy, I was told their food is on the non-spicy side. I ordered two masala dosa, 15 minutes later one of plates arrived which looked good, another 10 minutes later the second plates arrived half burnt. My kid complained about the potatoes being spicy and when I tried it, I found it way out of my comfort zone so I had to get a refund for the meal & go elsewhere for lunch. The restaurant looks clean and somewhat fancy, there's plenty of chairs indoors & in general the atmosphere is pleasant. The staff were polite and sympathetic but I wish they wouldn't misinform us. read more

Do not buy anything takeout to serve your guest. you will be disappointed. I bought Veg Dum Biryani family pack yesterday. The dish was inedible due to excessive salt and spice, leaving my guests hungry and forcing me to throw the food away. I feel my time and money were wasted, and I'm looking for a refund or a credit to make up for this experience. I called and dropped message to desi chicas but they don't even reply on that. read more

I called at 11 to place an order and they told me they didn't have lunch until 12 and then called again at 12 just for them to tell me that it's gonna be an hour wait pretty disappointed. read more

Good food. Nice open seating area. Service was good. Has a large variety of menu items!

This is honestly the best chicken dum biryani I've had -- the taste really brings me back home, full of flavor and comfort. The service is also very friendly and welcoming. They even have a weekend breakfast buffet, which I'm already looking forward to trying! read more

The service was absolutely horrible due to 1-2 individuals at the register. We waited 40 minutes for 2 dishes including a biryani and a paneer dish at 3pm (not rush hour time). Pretty sure the cash register forgot to put our order in the kitchen. The cashier(s) were particularly rude and would not give us any update on the orders when asked after 40 minutes of waiting. After 50 minutes the food came out and we just took the food home. Won't be eating here again. read more

Food service is very bad, front desk staff are so rude, If we ask how much time we have to wait for food simply they say 10 minutes, after 45 minutes wait also if you ask for food they say it takes time, . Never go to this place again. This is 3rd time we went , every time same behavior, same kind or service. read more

Desi Chicas has a warm welcome. The waiters are pleasant and polite. Food was just as we expected a very normal South Indian dishes with the average taste and the spice level was not that brutally high. My kinda food. The targeted clientele is very specific and narrow. The space is clean and open. read more

Poor customer service. The 2 cashiers clearly saw me standing in line and let 3 different people walk up and cut in front of me. I was standing only a couple of feet away from the register so I would not crowd the customer who was in front of me and already ordering. I waited patiently and when they finally took my order (after waiting 10 minutes with all the people cutting in front of me) they said it would take 40 minutes to cook the food. I only ordered 2 items. read more

Terrible service and SLOW!!! I went close to closing time when it was barely people there and it took 30 min just to get butter chicken. They were out of rice and didn't tell me until I got my food. read more

Have tried this place several times and every time there were issues. The first visit was dining in and the food took ages and was mediocre. Several other diners who seemed friendly with the staff received their food well before us despite ordering after. The next two times were call in, to go orders. Both times there was no one working the pickup desk and the casheirs just ignored the several people standing there for ages. Both times food was missing from my order and I had to return and they were very put out that I wanted what I paid for. On top of all this the food was slightly above mediocre all three times. Not going again. read more

Poor - mediocre food and an unbelievably rude attitude! You go to a restaurant to eat the meal you paid for, the whole experience makes you feel like you're at their mercy just to receive what you already paid for. read more

This place has pretty good food I gotta say, might be or if not the best indian place I tasted

So glad I found a good local Indian restaurant. The food and customer service were great and the price is reasonable!
