    Super cute eatery in Coppell! The outdoor seating is what I love most - but only second to their food! We ordered the pav bhai, shezwan noodles and two cakes and it was *chefs kiss*. Felt like I was back on the streets of Mumbai! Highly recommend! I will be back! The only downside was I actually wanted the grilled sandwich and Frankie but their grill was not working :-(

    Samosa (onion)

    This place is a hidden gem! I'm not sure about the other negative reviews, but we had a great experience here. Service was fast and the food was so so good. There's a huge variety to choose from on the menu. We happened to order all vegetarian but everything was great! They only had onion samosas available, so we tried those. Nicely fried and crispy, and was also good dipped in some of the sauce that came with the dosa. The masala dosa was delicious - the filling was amazing, and I would absolutely order it again. I've had different versions of the palak paneer at other establishments, and my only comment is that they're a bit on the heavier side in terms of spice level. I want to differentiate that compared to level of spiciness, to which we ordered medium and it was the perfect amount of kick without being too overwhelming. The garlic naan is super well done. We tried the rose milk out of curiosity and to be adventurous, and although I normally don't like fragrance flavored foods, it was not bad! I think the ice cream really balanced it out and the basil seeds added some nice texture. They make all of their drinks in house and it was in a cute little bottle, convenient for taking on the go! Will have to try the mango lassi if I visit again. There was also a chai that I saw many people order that I'm curious about. Overall, great experience and would highly recommend!

    Wonderful setup, can compare with Al LOL, good tea and best for evening snacks in Coppell,

    They are rude and the service sucks. Their printer and yelp menu don't communicate in the same language. You can order in yelp and their ticket in the kitchen won't match up and they don't give a crap in the restaurant. This is the second time in a row they have messed up our orders and last time they didn't care either.

    No sanitizer used to clean tables.

    All of the foods that we've had here and their Colony location have been reasonably good. Their opportunities are around presentation, some better customer service and certainly cleanliness. Of the few times we've dined in, I have never seen the place use any sanitizer or otherwise cleaner to clean off table tops and chairs. It leaves me to wonder the lack of attention to cleanliness in parts of the restaurant not visible to the customers. The restroom is also another area of opportunity. I won't share the details but use your imagination. For food, the tastes are generally good. Pricing is a bit on the higher end for what you get. There are certainly other options not too far away that have a better value and similar tastes. I hope they implement a better cleaning program or the city forces them to.

    Butter Chicken

    The Butter Chicken Masala is delicious!!! I ordered online for pickup and it was ready within 10 minutes.

    Service is extremely slow & incompetent!!! Terrible & unorganised!!! Taking name for every single order even for a single tea !! Wasting time! Totally unacceptable for the amount of staff inside to say 30-35 mins for back of the house orders for a simple fried rice & appetiser & haleem!! I'm sure you are not making everything right at the moment!! I was standing at the counter to find that people ordered after me were receiving their orders from back of the house while my order was just sitting in the kitchen. The girl Maanvi, who was taking orders is very unorganised & irresponsible!!! She doesn't even care to look at the pending orders!!! Some of the tables were filthy!! And you got 5 to 8 people working and do not bus the tables!! When asked about my order after 30 mins, guy from inside yells out "will take time" & lady comes up & said it would take time. A party of 8 came after me, ordered various items from front and back and even left the restaurant when I was just waiting over there to receive my order. I was sitting there and counting people coming & seeing them receiving their orders. I literately had to wait for 50 mins to receive my order!!! Ordered at 8:45 & received at 9:32!! I am surrounded with 10 different bars & restaurants in walkable distance. 2.5 miles drive to desi district, 7 miles to swadeshi, 6 miles to little India & a bunch of other restaurants on MacArthur in Irving. I do not need to drive 25 minutes to come to receive this kind of bad & irresponsible service & mediocre tasting food!!! Next time will take my business else where. UNACCEPTABLE!!! Coming to food, it has always been a hit or miss. Chowratha fried chicken & pani puri have been consistent. Haleem was thick as paste and with bones & no toppings. Fried rice was just ok!!! Tried pav bhaji (pav was super dry & curry was missing salt & lemon) chicken Frankie (was bland) biryanis, etc. Never bother to come back, but with this service & quality of food totally unacceptable!!

    DONT DO IT! Food is DELICIOUS, so we've been here several times and consider us hopeless idiots for continuing to come back. The food is truly incredible but the amount of time you have to wait for it... We TODAY (5/30) ordered online and came in 30 minutes afterwards just to be told it won't be ready for another 20 minutes? You would think waiting an additional 5-10 minutes after your quoted Uber eats time would keep this issue from happening, but no. I went on my Uber eats tab to check the progress and they marked my food as complete while I sit here in the car with ten minutes still left on my in person quoted wait time. I suggest ordering an hour before you're ready to eat, online, checking in in person at the drive through, and running some errands to work up an appetite and then just maybe by the time you come back it'll be ready! Update: hopped back in line at the drive thru just to be told at the speaker they needed five minutes, and then at the window (five minutes later) they still needed five minutes. Told us he'd personally bring it out to us at the front. Waited for another ten minutes. Went back through the drive through for another ten. In all we waited just about an hour and a half for two regular meals. OFFICIALLY NEVER COMING BACK. I'd ask for a refund but I feel like that'd take a whole nother hour :| DONT EVEN BOTHER

    Best Indian food I have had in the DFW area since moving here in 2020. Great customer service and amazing flavor. Will certainly be coming back when I get my cravings.

    Supposedly methi malai!
    Shubha S.

    Going down in quality and service! Cannot believe they are out of a lot of stuff including dum biryanies and rava dosa, also the mint and tamarind chutneys! They would not give me any with my samosas even when I asked for it. How are you making chaat without them??? Our methi malai kofta did not have any methi, not even a spec of green! Butter naan was so dry, no trace of butter! No ice for water. None of the tables are clean, the floor is dirty as well! Don't think we will visit again... It was a super frustrating experience!

While the entire menu is vast -- The lunch menu is simple, just a handful of specials like chicken, lamb, veggie, and possibly a fish option. Each one comes with your choice of soup or salad. We could not decide, so naturally we got one of each. The soup was fine, but I knew a full spread was coming, so I did not make much of an effort to finish it. I ordered the chicken lunch special and my husband went with the lamb. Everything arrives on a stainless steel cafeteria tray. You get naan, buttered or plain, your main dish, a generous serving of biryani rice with even more meat, a small cardamom rice pudding, a few crispy fried veggie bites, and a cooling yogurt sauce to tie it all together. The chicken and lamb were surprisingly similar in flavor, though I think I slightly preferred the sauce on the lamb. At around sixteen dollars, it feels like a steal, especially with leftovers guaranteed. The space itself is nice, with a pretty bar and a large TV, plus some outdoor seating tucked in the back. I could personally do without the signage lining each booth which was a little tacky for my taste.

The restaurant is large with a nice bar area and the service was very friendly and efficient!

The chowmein with lamb and chicken had that smoky stir-fry kick, and the momos were a joy to try. The butter tikka momos were creamy and rich, while the choila momos with the chef's sauce brought a spicy spark that stayed with me. The drinks matched the season perfectly. The Gurkhas Old Fashioned was smooth with a twist, and the hot rum punch felt like warmth in a glass just right for winter. The place itself was cozy, with a vibe that made me want to linger. Even during busy hours the staff stayed friendly, though the food took a little longer to arrive. Still, the service felt welcoming. Altogether, the mix of food, drinks, and atmosphere made the evening memorable in its own way.

I tried the meat sweats, and it was a great trio of chicken (two ways) and lamb. To me it was also the easiest to understand as this place gets into different ideas such as making burritos out of traditional Indian plates I did not try a mixed style, nor did my two friends that were with me. For the adventurous, I am sure there is something that is worth trying, but for those who just like a nice plate of Indian food, this also did fine Like any other place, you can scale up or scale down the heat, and I asked for medium level, which was fine.... And then some spices on the side in case I wanted to rev it up on any particular bite. I'd say the food comes out within 10 minutes or so and I felt was good. At a $19 price tag I would say it's not a bad value since you get more than enough to take as leftovers so possibly two meals for one. Punjabi chicken and cauliflower was solid also...though at $13 a little high for appetizer. Overall, I didn't feel adventurous this particular day. However, if you do like mixing food styles and ideas, then this would definitely be a place to try it.

I haven't had vada pav sliders before but the filling is kind of like fried samosa filling without the dough. It's good. The serving size of the biryani was very impressive. You can see from the photo that they fill the container and then add another mound of rice on top of that - basically 2 servings (we took one home). And they didn't skimp on the chicken either! The chicken is cooked perfectly, the sauces are a great complement and this is an excellent dish. The Lunch Thali gives you a lot of bang for your buck and mine included ~5 pieces of fish fry, about the same amount of veg pakora, yogurt dip, chicken curry with rice, 2 different soups, a naan/tortilla thing, and a carrot dessert (like a halwa). All had good flavor and the soups have a nice spicy kick to them. However, since all the dishes for the thali come off the lunch line (ie all premade), the tortilla, fish and pakoras had been sitting out for awhile and not too hot. Had they come out fresh from the fryer, I might have given this experience 5 stars. As it stands, I'll probably be back for lunch anyways - and the thali is available 7 days a week!
