I ordered takeout from here recently. I was surprised and delighted by the tray of food with many small dishes. The takeout order included: pappadam (thin crispy crackers) aloo gobhi, jasmine rice, chutney, spiced potatoes and a sweet soup. Also! Plenty of roti! The roti bread was absolutely delicious and perfect as a vehicle for spooning mouthfuls of the main dish. The dishes had a light heat to them - not overly spicy but a slow burn - maybe a little yogurt to balance things out would have gone a long way. While the dish tasted wonderful, I did have a bit of an upset stomach afterwards, so proceed with caution! read more

It has been years since I first started eating at Gopal. I wanted to update my review. This is one of my favorite restaurants in DFW. Such good quality and kind service. Today I had the small Thali, dal option. It still filled me so full! Today my companion said it was their first visit to Gopal and they loved it! I wish I could eat here every day. read more

Gopal Vegetarian Restaurant - Small Thali - Vegetarian Near Me - Richardson, Texas

This restaurant is so homey and delicious! Very authentic and is my home food away from home. Their Gujrati thalis are so good, I keep coming back for more. It's my go to spot everytime I visit Dallas. Sometimes I come to Dallas just so I can eat here. read more

I've been coming to Gopal's in Richardson for many years, and honestly, I've only ever ordered one thing: the Gujarati Thali. I'm still not sure why it's called the "Gujarati Thali" when it's already a Gujarati restaurant, but regardless--it's excellent. They prepare different shaak/sabjis daily, and if there's ever one I'm not fond of, they're always willing to substitute with extra daal, kadhi, or another shaak. That kind of flexibility and consistency has kept me coming back, and the quality of the food has never disappointed. The only drawback for me is the ambience. Walking inside feels a bit like stepping into a very plain, remote village restaurant--definitely not much on atmosphere. But don't let that fool you or stop you from trying their food, because what they may lack in decor, they more than make up for in flavor. read more

We stopped for Saturday lunch! Place is small with limited seating. We were seated right away. Ordered 4 Small Thali's Paneer Kulcha, Paneer Paratha, Aloo Paratha(2). Side order of puri and roti. Food came out very quickly and everything was served hot. Aloo paratha's were huge! Paneer curry and Dal were delicious. Owner noticed that we were with little ones and gave them complimentary Aam Ras to go with Puri and Roti. Definitely recommend this place for vegetarian food lovers. Also recommend to get there early as place fills up fast read more

Food was decent. Just moved from NJ/NYC I set out on journey to find Gujarati food since I was missing home. I came across this restaurant. The service was okay. read more

I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. The staff is super nice. I'm not too familiar with Indian food, but our waiter was so nice and patient with all my questions. The food is DELICIOUS! I absolutely loved the Khasta Kachori. Their many Thali options are wonderful. Great food at great prices. I highly recommend the his little spot. My boyfriend and I will definitely be coming back. read more

This is probably the most homey South Indian Food place I've been to. It's small, has a decent amount of decorations, and definitely feels like mom and pop. There's one booth dedicated to paperwork with a fax machine/printer and a bunch of paper in the booth. Their mango lassi is amazing! Creamy, full of mango flavor, and a nice tang. Everything I could ask for in a mango lassi. While the meal was good, this was my favorite part! The menthi paratha is ok, but I wish it were more warm and flaky. It certainly had plenty of menthi in it. The veggies were tasty, the soup was good, and the crackers had a decent seasoning to them. The karchu kartori (or however you spell it), was like an oversized ball of pani puri! Had a good balance between dry and wet. I could see the fresh vegetables that they cut up and use in this, which all means its fresh and homemade! read more

We used their catering service for guests during wedding. They served breakfast and lunch. 1 They always give plenty of food. 2 Food quality was excellent 3 They even brought food on Sunday morning at 6:30 Am so that guests who were departing could eat before leaving. 4 Prices are reasonable. They cater for thousand people or more if needed. Over the years I have seen them serve at conventions and meetings. Mr. Patel also serves the community well. He can arrange for non Indian food for a party. read more

The food continues to be good, but today I had a grand awakening in prices of the items listed in Yelp compared to the one on site, is much more greater & it appeared that the chef may have been charged also. I would like to say that it's still my go to place. read more

Wow. If you are familiar with Gujarati food you will love this place. Gujarati food is from an area in India called Gujarat (Northwest India). The food is vegetarian and based on a lot of vegetables and roti (kind of like a tortilla). Anyways, the life parter had a hankering for a particular dish (Pav bhaji) on New Year's Day so we called ahead to make sure they were one open and two had the dish in stock. Yes to both so we were on our way with two little ones both under the age of 3. The ambiance is super hole in the wall but the hospitality is legit authentic. Not the most hospitable hosts but it's not in a bad way. We ordered several dishes and the woman taking our order even recommended we order less because we got carried away! We had to explain that life partner LOVES ordering so we always over order and take leftover home. She was good with our explanation. The food itself is very tasty. Not very oily which a lot of this kind of food can be. The authenticity was the best part and they even entertained our 1 year old! Great spot in Richardson. read more

I really wish they would do a Ramsey style deep clean of this place, because there were cockroaches in broad daylight on the ground. The food is pretty authentic and tasty, but it doesn't make me want to come back given the cleanliness of the seating area. I can only imagine how much worse it is in the kitchen. Our water jug wasn't cleaned properly (crusted something on the sides and bottom). Cutlery and plates are stainless steel so now makes me question how they clean their cutlery. Honestly, do not recommend given the sanitary issues. PS, would gladly pay a few dollars more a plate if they will reinvest in cleaning up this restaurant. read more

This place is amazing!!! Best Indian in the DFW area hands down. So flavorful and delicious- coming from someone who grew up in London with lots of authentic Indian food- this place is just so good. We got pani puri which was great- then pav bhaji (best pav bhaji I've ever had), then the assorted tray. The mango lassi was also delicious. Everything was great. We can't wait to come back and try other things. The waitress was lovely and we were helped with deciding on what to choose as well. It seemed very homey too. read more

Best vegetarian Gujrati food in the DFW area. Family owned and owners are very nice. Quality of the food is so good. We don't mind driving about 25 miles to eat this food. Must try for dine in or catering.. Like any other businesses, they have also been impacted by current situation and short staffed. So come with patience and enjoy yummy food. read more

The Best Indian vegetarian restaurant in Dallas- vada pav, parathas, dhokla aany authentic thali they serve is perfect. Just the servers are not good at all, very weird and has no sense of customer service. Even the manager made me forcefully donate 10 USD for 5 USD Isckon book. I regularly visit Iskon temples and I know you should never force donations. I wish they give better service. So order takeouts as the food is the best Indian Gujarati food in Dallas. read more

This is an authentic hole in the wall. The menu doesn't have a description of what each item is so unless you're really familiar with Indian cuisine, you'll need to google some words. The staff was attentive and the food was delicious. I saw and tried things I hadn't had at other Indian restaurants so I'll be back. read more

Gopal Vegetarian Restaurant - Pani Puri - Vegetarian Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Their snacks are awesome. Very tasty and fresh food, just like what you make at home They don't serve too many items but then have a decent spread and maintain the same quality be it snack or main course. read more

I enjoyed a fantastic lunch with my mom here a few days ago. When we came in, the shop was quiet with just a few customers seated and eating their food. I ordered a tray with an assortment of curries, breading, rice, and a little dessert and everything was delicious! There was a good balance of sweet and savory flavors with just the right amount of spice; and although the entire dish was vegetarian, it was so filling that I didn't even need to eat dinner later in the day...all this for just $14! This may be a hole in the wall, but it is truly a gem and I will definitely be back! read more

Gopal Vegetarian Restaurant - a plate of indian food - Vegetarian Near Me - Richardson, Texas

This is a bit of a hole in the wall, but don't let that deter you. What they perhaps lack in ambience and space, they make up in taste, authenticity, and simplicity. They serve home style vegetarian Gujarati meals. I had their small thali for dinner. It came with undhiyu, gujarati dal, and bhindi (okra). It was quite good. We also shared a paapdi chaat plate, which was nice as well. If you're Gujarati, or if you enjoy vegetarian Gujarati food, do try it out. read more

Too spicy, not a lot of options available and not that delicious. Tried two times and both times similar experience.

A vegetarian place with authentic desi feel for it. One might not like the cleanliness of the store. The food is okay, can be customized. Sweet is something one can definitely try. I have been here several times with my vegetarian colleagues but never urged the feeling to come back by myself read more

Its a dream come true for a Indian Vegetarian in Dallas. After coming to US, missing authentic Indian food for months, I finally found an Indian restaurant that has proper veg food. My Gujarati friend went nuts when he found out they have undhiyo. Really good restaurant, service was prompt, a little small, but the food is amazing, will remind you of India. Recommend you order any Thali, all are good. read more

Gopal Vegetarian Restaurant - Gujarati Thali with Bajarina Rotla - Vegetarian Near Me - Richardson, Texas

They overcharge and served cold food. In name of Gujarati food they are serving dry, bland and stale food.

Can't believe a restaurant so untidy, very very dirty place, toilets so dirty, imagine the state of kitchen and cooking. Staff appearance so dirty. Can't believe such dirty restaurant in USA. read more

I love their Thalis, especially the one with bajrana rotis. I don't think any other place in Dallas has an option with bajrana roti. I come here often to have the bajrana Thali. A hole in the wall, this place has authentic Gujarati food which is run by a family. They also have snacks and chaat, samosa is amazing so close to that you get in India, lilva kachori which is filled with green peas is yumm but ragda pattis was not that great. Highly recommend this place for thaalis, I'll definitely be going back for more! :) read more

Great vegetarian food! The service is awesome because the older Indian uncle who works here(owns the restaurant too I think) is super nice!

Most authentic Gujarati food I have tasted in DFW! Rajula's is ok but this tastes like home cooking. The sweets are good too!

Easily one of the best vegetarian Indian restaurants in Dallas. All the food is classic home recipes with fresh food made daily. The owners are long time Dallas natives and good people as well. read more

Confused with the 4 star reviews this place has. Food was below par and placed appeared like it lacked hygiene. We ordered a couple of Thali's and the only edible offerings was the Paneer Mutter and the Parathas. Dal was way too sweet and watery, Khadi was watery with no flavor. Dhoklas were very good and a must try. Kachori was cold and tasted like it was pulled out of a refrigerator. Chole Bhature was forgotten and when asked towards the end of our meal where it was, we were told chole is ready and they need to make the batter for the Bhature. Overall confused with other reviews and ratings, this place deserves 2 stars at the best read more

No drama .. just excellent Gujarati food.. Awesome bajra roti and curries were excellent. We also ordered kachori and chai .. awesome !!! Will 100% recommend this food for all vegetarians around ... read more

Gopal Vegetarian Restaurant - Lots of awesome food ! - Vegetarian Near Me - Richardson, Texas

I've been frequenting Gopal for 7yrs now. Every time has been just as delicious as the last. My favourite dish from Gopal's is Aloo Paratha. Hands down "Best in Town!" I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone look to try a genuine/authentic Indian restaurant. read more

Just avoid this place. We tried the pav bhaji, sev puri and khasta kachori. Khasta kachori were dry and ice cold. Pav Bhajji was high on ginger and the packs were plastered with butter without actually roasting them. Sev puri was average. read more

Although I quite enjoy their food, the people running this place severely lack professionalism. Their abysmal service makes me wonder how they are still in business. They behave like they're doing you a favor by even taking your order. Plenty of grunts, minimal words and zero smiles. Not wanting to deal with the rude staff, I usually get take out orders. On most occasions they conveniently 'forget' to add some of the food. Of course, they never forget to charge for it. On calling to place an order during working hours, I was once yelled at to call later and was hung up on. I have even been told one time that my order was not ready because one of their Latina workers did not show up and how it was all her fault (because why just be unprofessional when you can be racist unprofessionals?) Their food may be good but their customer service is BEYOND appalling and unacceptable. Management if you're reading this - 1. Train your staff on some basic social skills 2. Stop short changing/cheating paying customers! read more

The best Gujarati Thali we have had in North Dallas. It's close to a 30 mile one way drive for us but wouldn't mind making that for the food. The parking lot is a bit poorly designed so it would be good to come when there are less crowds I suppose. We got to-go so it didn't matter much. The food was A+ for sure. read more
