Service is good. Ambiance is fine. I dont think the food choices is 101. There is one goat dish and two dish thats fish. The rest are chicken and veggies. Have more dessert choices. I like the mango lassi, noodle dish, grilled chicken, manchurian dish. read more

Just had the weekend buffet. $22.99. The food was hot, plentiful, and tasty. Since I have never been to India, this was the most Indian people I had seen in one place. So I guess the food must be authentic and good. I definitely had things that I had never had before. The flavors were amazing. Some of the dishes were very spicy. Bring Kleenex. There was a lot of variety. Service was good and helpful. It was very crowded. If we go back, I would want to check out the weekday buffet. It should be cheaper and less crowded. read more

One of the best authentic Indian food restaurants in DFW metroplex, highly recommended it!

Awesome buffet. Not totally authentic does have great flavor and spices. Price was very reasonable. Gets really busy during peak dinner time read more

I've always seen this place driving past but finally got a chance to try! I've heard lots of good things and it definitely did not disappoint. There was a lot of variety including classics like butter chicken and biryani. The mango lassi was never-ending for me, and I kept going back for more, especially to help with some of the spice. There's lots of seating space but would recommend getting a standalone table as opposed to the booths near the back as it's a bit crowded in those spaces, which was fine for us as we were part of a large group. As this place is a buffet, I can't comment too much on the service but they were pretty quick to pick up used plates, but could improve on refilling water cups (unless that was something we were expected to do? I don't recall seeing a water refill station, but that could be my mistake.) read more

The price with tax for two was about $45 if I'm remembering correctly, so a little higher than your average buffet but it's worth it for a nicer dining experience and atmosphere. From top to bottom I enjoyed the entire spread of dishes with the exception of the tandoori chicken, it was the most bland tandoori chicken I've ever had and I wish they'd work on improving their recipe for that. Also, I hope they add samosas to the buffet eventually because those things are sooo good. Besides that I was extremely happy. read more

Went to dinner there last night, friends and family. The food was okay, nothing to write back to India about. Half the folks are sick now, not sure which specific dish they ate from the buffet, but my guess is they mix old food with new food. I'll never go back (my 3rd time). read more

Nothing worse for me than to be craving Indian Food and being disappointed. We were visiting Dallas and looked up places on Yelp. They had really good reviews and a dinner buffet so we decided to try it. Sadly most of the food was not fresh, the chicken and the biryani were dry. I tried a variety of the buffet items and none of them were special. read more

India 101 - Exterior - Indian Near Me - Irving, Texas

We went here for a lunch after church. They featured a buffet. The food was pretty good. Wide variety. Any shortfall in the food (and I really can't point to any) was made up for by the great attitude of the servers. We had a 2 1/2 year old, and the table next to us had one about to turn 2. Kid friendlyWe would definitely go back. read more

I went to India 101 the other day and got 4 plates of food and mango lassi. My first plate had papad, tandoori chicken, chicken 65, chicken dumplings biriyani, naan, butter chicken, and some chicken curry. The chicken curry had a nice spice and was quite tender. The chicken 65 was very crisp and also possessed a nice flavor and the papad was just papad. The biriyani was extremely bland and the chicken was flavored like water. The butter chicken was way too sweet and I didn't mess with it. However across the board the chicken was extremely tender and cooked very well. My next plate was a pani puri chaat plate. The potato and garbanzo beans mixture was good and I also enjoyed the tamarind sauce. One thing I wish was better was the green chutney as I wish it had more spice. My 3rd plate was gobi manchurian, noodles, and some more crispy chicken. The noodles gave me unforeseen diseases and caused me to cry a little but the gobi manchurian was amazing and by far the best thing I ate from the restaurant. For desert I got a plate of gulab jamun, sheer, and cake. The cake was horrible but the other 2 desserts were good. Overall the food was solid but the way I felt after almost made this a 1 star. My stomach ached like no other and I nearly vomited over 50,000 calories of food. I also destroyed the bathroom and am awaiting a renovation due to the damage I caused! read more

I'm not sure who is calling this the "largest Indian buffet in North Texas, but....." I'll try to make this short and sweet... but you know me... Like most places, people are attracted to new/shiny toy. The place isn't brand new but fairly new (New to me at least). Very elegant on the inside. Stairwell leads to an upstairs that be rented for private events. Nice dimly-lit vibe that I like. You can try to call in for reservations or take your chances by walking in. We went on a Friday night and we're seated after 20 minutes of waiting. The BUFFET... somewhat decent selection of food items. I was most impressed with the staff. The kept clearing the table and making drink refills. Very good staff there! I can't give this place a hard time. It was a decent experience. The interior is very sleek, intimate and jazzy. The food choices and taste... meh. I'll be honest, I still love OUR PLACE. I like their garlic chicken. I was a little surprised and disappointed that it's not available at INDIA 101. OVERALL: I recommend you check it out. But don't go in thinking that it's the "end all be all" for Indian buffets. It's also a stretch to say that it's the largest Indian buffet. The place is large but the buffet area is rather small. Go see for yourself read more

You get a large selection of items, all fairly well made. It is a buffet so of course the quality is not going to be the absolute best. But for what it is, it is the best Indian buffet in all of Dallas! There's plenty for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike. The dessert menu is also good. And you get mango lassi, can't beat that! This is my wife's go-to if we're at a loss for dinner, check it out you won't regret it! read more

My husband and I really enjoyed this Indian buffet. We came for lunch at 11AM and everything was clean and already put out. There was about five or six different types biryanis, many chutney, flavors, and even more chicken and curry options. The options were endless for all kinds of food. Our favorites were the Andhra Chicken, Fried chicken, and butter chicken. They had little bowls so that you could try a little bit of everything. Their dessert wasn't the greatest and not many options there but the actual food made up for it. The Mango Lassi was so good! Service was super quick with taking away the plates. read more

If there's one thing that Irving is good at it, it's Indian & Himalayan food! I always take my out of town guests here for the lunch buffet and it doesn't disappoint. Their menu is extensive and they even have a few traditional American dishes to keep those picky eaters happy. I usually load up on freshly baked naan + butter chicken. Gulab jamon and chai are a good way to end my meals here. This is not a cheap meal but definitely worth a visit. Service is not super attentive but this is a buffet so maybe that's worth consideration. read more

LAST VISIT...EVER ! Sunday evening, most of the food tasted reheated and bland. The Tandoori chicken had some weird brown-grey color, and definitely had a leftover flavor. The magic of past of India 101 is gone...and the almost empty dining room on Sunday evening had to be representative of the drop in quality and following. And to add insult to injury they charge $25 a person for bland or leftover foods. Nope...thats it...very sad to say...last visit and I will not return. read more

Ambiance is nice, everything is very clean. Staff is accommodating and nice. I have been here twice, once about 2 years ago and once recently. The experience before was great overall and worth the price (it's not cheap), the most recent visit not so much. There are a lot of dishes, but the quality just isn't there. And, this is a place where people go to socialize, so if you are expecting a normal buffet atmosphere where you get a plate, get your food and go to your table to eat, that isn't what you are going to get. You are going to wait a significant amount of time to get to the food you want because people are crowding/cutting in the line and gathering around the food to socialize. It's frustrating for someone that just wants to get their food and eat. I don't think I'll be going back. read more

We were very disappointed in the food everything tasted the same or was very greasy. The temperature in the dining room was awful! People were sweating I imagine it was 80 degrees in there. There is no way the cold foods were kept at temperature. Never again wasting $50 on 2 buffets. read more

I was surprised to see that the Buffet was giving lots of options from appetizers to entrées to side dishes, two sauces, lots of different curries, lots of different rice, and even desserts. I was also pleasantly surprised to see that they had mango desserts. read more

Great buffet. It was great to try new foods I haven't tried before. Enjoyed the lentil soup. Tandoori roti and green curry chicken was delicious. read more

We have already come here like 3-4 times within the past 2 months. Just because anytime someone comes to visit we bring them here and I think we will continue to do so for everyone who comes to visit us in Dallas. I think the food is a hit or miss. So, you won't always get great food quality, but the variety makes up for it. It is best to take a little of everything, try it and then get more of what you like. The place has usually been very clean when we come and staff has so far been great to work with. The price is very reasonable for the amount of food you get and that helps a lot when you may have a large party every time you visit. I won't say I love this place because I don't, but it is a great place that accommodates space, variety of food, good customer service, cleanliness and great decor. read more

I went here for lunch yesterday with high hopes based on other reviews. I'm giving them 2 stars because the place was very clean and the buffet had many food options but nothing was particularly good. The tandoori and spicy chicken were the better of all the dishes I tasted. The butter chicken and goat curry (it had no label so I think that's what it was) taste ok but the sauces were watery. Not sure if this is the best way to describe them but the rices were dry. Then naan had been sitting under the heat lamp and was chewy. It felt like India's version of an American cafeteria like Luby's or Furr's. For the quality it's definitely overpriced. read more

Thank you, India 101, for the phenomenal delights in your dinner buffet!!! FINALLY an Indian restaurant that has a buffet open that is well prepared, varied, stocked, not too spicy, and absolutely DELICIOUS!!!!! We will be coming back here often!! read more

India 101 - Huge buffet - Indian Near Me - Irving, Texas

I was in town for a business trip and as it was a cold, rainy day spotted this place and as a Brit that grew up on curry, decided to try this place. Happy that I did I got the order to go : Paneer Tikka; it was piping hot, absolutely delicious and so fragrant. It was also quite a sizable portion - probably enough for two as I could only get half way through! Perfect for a cold day! It cake with a side of naan which I loved and was perfect to go with the dish! I also got the vegetarian samosas which were again absolutely amazing! They came with some dipping sauce which was delicious! Loved the food; hot, fresh and delicious! It made my day read more

We were in that area and decided to have lunch here. Reached there by about 12:15 and were seated immediately. We were offered a table very close to the station where they keep the water jugs and extra glasses and requested to be seated elsewhere and were offered a smaller table so decided to stick to the one offered earlier. As far as the food is concerned, the spread is impressive but the overall quality in terms of flavor is hit-and-miss. Things that I had that were good were, the Pakora, Tandoori Chicken, Chicken Kabab, Dosa, Potato filling for the Dosa, Sweet & Sour Vegetable, Kung Pao Chicken, Schezwan Chicken, Lassi, and the Rice Kheer, Things that were a miss were the Sambar, Vada, Gulab Jamun, Sambar, the Fish Curry, and the Vada. The Biriyani was OK. Ok choice if you are in that area and have a good appetite. read more

Went again and the food was decent this time. I didn't bother trying the pani puri again, but the butter chicken, gobi, and desserts were above average this time read more

I was excited to try an evening Indian buffet which is usually rare but was I was kind of disappointed by the whole experience. Service and Ambiance of this place is great however food is not as good as it should be. I tried multiple chats and they are the only good option to eat here. Tandoori chicken was nice as well but apart from these few dishes everything was below average. Onion pakora were dry, dosa was cold, medu vada was almost burnt, gulab jamun was chewy, gajar hulva was not even made properly. Overall food was below average with great ambiance and service. I wish they work on the food so make this place better. read more

This is a restaurant/buffet. The buffet is Friday, Saturday, Sunday. There is a large variety of food. There is a hot food section, salad, chutney, desserts, and soda machine/Lassi stations. COVID precautions: there is a plate/utensils station, there are gloves & sanitizer provided. The plates are bio degradable one use. The service was excellent. Definitely worth the money. read more

I will start out by saying this is one of the pricier Indian buffets I've been to, but I did enjoy it. You feel like you're walking into a club when you first enter. Place is pretty spacious. They have a lot of food for meat eaters and vegetarians alike. They do come by to pick up plates often. You can grab your own drinks and such at the buffet (they have mango lassi and chai as well as soda). It can get pretty loud in there, but not terribly overwhelming. read more

I came in today and just asked for a portion of chicken. I was charged $18 and given a tub that was 90% bones and a huge thing of rice. The bones were so large there was no way it was even chicken. I'm pretty sure I just got scammed. Very disappointed read more

Excellent Buffet and Service. The weekends get packed so expect to wait around 15 minutes to be seated.

I've been wanting to try this place for a while and I finally did and it was delicious. I don't eat Indian food as often as I should and when I do to be honest I get white people Indian food (mild butter chicken and basmati rice lol). I went here specifically because I wanted to try different things. Everything I had was so yummy. I think my favorite thing I tried was the palek paneer and the veggie biryani. Everything I had was amazing though. Most of the labels on the buffet had a description of what each dish was for those of us who are unfamiliar with Indian cuisine. This place was super clean and didn't give off your typical buffet vibe. I went for the lunch buffet and after tax it was a little over $20 for one person. A little pricy but totally worth it. Everything had great flavor and there was a great selection. I didn't take enough pictures because I was shy lol. They had all kinds of sauces and chutneys. There was a rice pudding for dessert that was heavenly. Will definitely be back! read more
