    Chicken Tikka Masala, Butter Chicken, 2 orders of Naan, what's left the Vegetable Pakoras and a Mango Lassi we split!
    Joy S.

    Heard a rumor Dino's was serving up some Indian Cuisine and just had to come find out for ourselves. This place is nice, clean and fresh inside. Seems mostly or entirely newly renovated since the switch, and has a lovely looking bar (can't remember if there were any seats though) which mostly serves beer from what I understand. They originally started as a buffet, however have since transitioned to a sit down style restaurant. The staff was very friendly and the Chefs greeted us upon entering. We started with the Vegetable Pakoras and Chutney for an app. Fresh chopped vegetables fried to perfection in a deliciously seasoned and golden orange batter, served with a flavorful and mildly spicy Chutney dipping sauce. Seriously the seasoning on these were amazing and the sauce was killer, not too greasy of a fry either. Going back for samosas next. We were then each served a decently sized salad, with cobb style toppings: cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, bacon, cheese, and my mom's had egg in it, however mine did not-- with your choice of 3 or 4 dressings. Got a Mango Lassi and asked for an extra cup to split. It was cold, creamy, a nice treat and not too sweet. Much less sweet than others which my Mom really enjoyed. Went for our classic favs at any Indian place, mine Chicken Tikka Masala and hers Butter Chicken. Though we each tried a bit of both. Everything was served in the same, massive bowls, so this was a huge portion and as you can see they are full nearly to the brim! Each entree also came with Basmati rice in the same hefty bowl. The Chicken Tikka Masala was packed with large, tender and quality pieces of chicken, and I noticed many thinly sliced caramelized onions in both dishes. The sauce was rich, flavorful and very creamy. This Tikka Masala was a little creamier than I am used to, so this wasn't quite as bright and tomato forward as I remember most Tikkas i've tried, though it has been a while. Even so, this is still slightly brighter of a dish than the Butter Chicken, which is a bit sweeter, and classically very buttery, rich, and creamy. The Butter Chicken was equally as packed with chicken, and also had thinly sliced onions. Though each sauce is so rich, thick and creamy it's hard to tell if much else was in there besides a ton of delicious spices and love. I truly enjoyed both, but I think this time may have even swayed my favorite towards the Butter Chicken. Ordered 2 orders of Naan which came with 2 pieces each, slightly smaller than most Naans but just as tasty nonetheless-- and pairs perfectly with the dishes as always. All of this to say, we barely got two small portions of rice topped with each and a bit of Naan in before we were stuffed, unable to finish all of our salads, or Pakoras, and took them to go along with each of our whole full and barely dented bowls of these wonderful classic Indian meat curries. Our fridge is full with food for at least 2 more meals each for us both, and I am so excited to try it again for lunch tomorrow at home. Giving a 5 star review despite the small inconsistency of no egg in my free complimentary salad, and personally preferring a slightly less creamy and instead brighter, more tomato-y Chicken Tikka Masala because really, this place is great. Especially for Granbury-- and this place along with others like it are and would be great FOR Granbury, as in I am so happy to have this quality food available, and to finally see some more diverse cuisines coming to Granbury, amongst the repetitive monotonous saturation of endless American and Mexican food. THANK YOU DINO's for a wonderful dinner, and for coming to Granbury. I would like to keep y'all around, and I hope you reading this come to give them a chance! We will be coming back.

    Chicken Biryani

    Went to lunch today with my son and there was only one other table that was occupied in the restaurant. That's a shame because the food was great. He had the butter chicken and I had the chicken biryani and the garlic naan bread. It was fantastic. Service was great. they have a really nice Bar set up and the food is excellent so I think everybody should go out and try it for themselves.

    Veggie Biryani

    Indian Food is so good... curry is the best I've had. Supper clean and friendly service. Prices are really good for what you get.

    Smothered pork chops and sides. And cat fish

    First time I had ever had Indian food and it was over the top delicious! Choice of mild, medium or regular spicy.

    Very disappointing. The food is fresh and unseasoned directly out of a can. They will never make it in a town of mediocrity restaurants.

    Excellent little spot on the water. I highly recommend the house salad, add chicken. My kids both…read moreloved the chicken tender basket & the fried cod was also a hit. We love the ambience- it offers outside seating and indoor seating. We opted for the outdoors so we can watch the lake views. The staff was very friendly and quick with cleaning tables.

    Decent Lakeside Convenience Stop, But Food Is Just Okay…read moreStumpy's is one of the only two spots right on the lake in Granbury for a quick bite, so it definitely serves a purpose. I stopped in for something fast and ended up with the typical deep-fried fare. I'm not particularly fond of the food -- everything tastes like it's been fried to death -- but if you're craving classic lake snacks, it gets the job done. I'm sure they have healthier options on the menu, but I didn't notice anything that stood out. Portions are generous, which is both a blessing and a curse. On the plus side, you don't have to feel wasteful if you don't finish your plate -- just walk it over to the seawall and the trained catfish and carp will happily clean up whatever you drop in the water. That's honestly one of the most entertaining parts of the visit. The location is convenient: you can shop for overpriced swimsuits and lake-appropriate apparel while you're there, and it's a solid place to stop for gas. They still sell ethanol-free fuel, which is a big win for boaters and anyone who cares about their engine. Overall, it's not a destination for great food, but it's reliable for quick, no-fuss lakeside eats and extras. Three stars feels about right.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
