Food portions are generous, great friendly service, warm and welcoming environments and ask about the mint lemonade-- not on the menu!

What do you think of when it comes to Indian food? Hot? Spicy? Mind-blowing flavors? If you guessed hot, you were correct. But hot as in the temperature inside the establishment. I think it was no less than 80 degrees in there. They had an AC unit which was running but that thing was not going to cool the entire restaurant. There was no way. Service. Wow. Mediocre at best. The food comes out rather quickly and the seating is good. The decor does not fit the establishment's roots. I think they need to go back to the drawing board and make it feel like I am on foreign land when stepping inside and trying out Indian food. I ordered the lamb masala with buttered naan and lollipop chicken. The lamb was cooked beautifully, the curry was also very tasteful. Rice was good as expected. I mostly mixed everything with the rice. Now, for the lollipop chicken. They need to take that thing off the menu or re-create it. There were more crispy parts than chicken itself. Unseasoned as well. I ordered a lime soda and it was decent. I think if you ordered here to go, your experience will be a lot different. Customer service was sub-par. With only 1 waitress, the restaurant was not even busy but yet it took me 8 minutes to cash out. Staff need to be more attentive to their customers. Would I try the food here again? Yes. But only if they fix or get a bigger air conditioning unit. read more

I gotta say, this was the first Indian place that had Christian music playing. I had high hopes given how it was highly rated, but unfortunately I ended up with disappointment mostly. Butter Chicken - mid, didn't have the reddish hue you normally see. Lamb Rogan Josh - only think I liked, nice blend of spices and flavors Chicken Biryani - mid, asked for medium spicy but it was mild. The yogurt sauce was nice though. Masala Dosa - mid, but then again it's something that should be enjoyed fresh not takeout. So it lacked the crisp and it was quite chewy. Veg Pakora - pretty std. their condiment sauces, were lacking, missed the std tamarind and mint sauces. Naan (garlic and butter) - meh, it was very chewy and doughy. On to the next, hopefully I'll find something soon. read more

We have been longtime patrons of India Garden. The food is top notch, they customize spiciness to your liking. The service and atmosphere is wonderful. It's a gem close to home for authentic southern India cuisine. I especially love the lamb curry an my wife loves the saag and dal tadka. read more

They recently shrunk their portions by half or over half. Entrees were served in a 24 oz dish and now are in a 12 oz dish. The result was only 4 oz of protein and a bunch of sauce. read more

I only order through DoorDash so I can't speak to the actual restaurant (service/staff), but their lamb biryani is by far the best I've had since moving back to Dallas fm SF. Every time I order it's exceptional! I prefer their butter naan to the garlic bc they don't use any fresh garlic (just uncooked garlic powder which is bitter IMO). I just add my own chopped/smashed garlic at home. read more

Everything was wonderful! The food was delicious. Service was great served you with a smile! Seams like small family run.

The service and atmosphere were great! However the food was the reason for the 4 stars. It honestly may be that I'm used to my spot in Richardson but the spices were different. I may come back to give it a go because of the service and atmosphere. I will say that I'm going to order something different before I decide to return a third time or not. read more

I've been to India Garden many times over the past two decades. The current ownership has transformed the look and the food greatly. I've been to their restaurant in Oklahoma and was amazed at their food quality and service there. They are trying to bring the same ambiance here as well. I made some recommendations to the ownership from my observation and they immediately implemented it. Food tasted really well especially the vegetable curry, daal, and the chicken tikka masala. read more

Wow big changes here! Another management change Red solo cups instead of glassware Very informal and tables have thin plastic table cloths Food is not same quality as a year ago or even 7 years ago Malai kofta and garlic naan had no salt and very bland We ordered butter chicken no spice but it came spicy for my daughter Server was nice but he kept forgetting everything and served us the ticket then told us he forgot to add the mango lassie It was a comical lunch Only 1 toilet now Back room had trash on the floor Doubt we will ever return read more

Dal makhani had curry leaf and mustard seeds, bullet naan had bell peppers on top, did not try the south Indian food so not sure about that

Sunday buffet was excellent with many options from appetizers , soups, chicken , fish, beef and dessert. Naan was brought fresh to the table. We were thoroughly satisfied. We were a table of 8 and the service was excellent and so friendly. We will definitely be back!! read more

This is a good place. I came after 5 years. Management has changed. A/C was not working but it's okay The new owner Gigi was nice We ordered chicken Chicken Chettinad' Food was super delicious. Highly recommended read more

Before the pandemic, I used to enjoy India Garden once a week for their $12 lunch buffet and also an occasional dinner. Today I went for lunch for the first time since Covid. First red flag was, the entrance. It was kind of strange with the Dollar Store, bathroom doorknob on the main entrance door. I'm assuming they had been broken into and this was temporary. Turning the knob and letting myself in, I was greeted by a man who stared at me until I broke the silence with, "Are you open?" He shook his head, yes, and pointed to the empty dining room. I seated myself and immediately a different man came and asked what I wanted to drink. I said, Iced Tea. I said Iced Tea 3 times because he didn't seem to understand. So, after he brought me a glass of water (no ice), he gave me a menu. The buffet is long gone, I'm guessing, for health reasons. So now the offerings are limited to single dishes ranging in price from $13.99 to $16.99. No lunch menu. Or maybe that was the lunch menu...I don't know. I ordered Chiken Vindaloo. The food came pretty fast. A pot of Jasmine rice, cooked perfectly. And a pot of the Vindaloo. The Chicken Vindaloo was made up from one small chicken breast with a couple of potatoe cubes thrown in as filler. The rest was sauce. No Naan. I don't even remember seeing Naan on the menu and it was not offered. But still, the taste was amazing. What a shame and what a disappointing lunch. I hate seeing a once great business kill itself off like that. I won't be going back any time soon. read more

Only vegetarian selection was rice and dal. Onion pakora. Bread. Lots of meat. Many kinds of animals on buffet. Won't return. read more

I used to regularly order the Chili Chicken and Chicken Tikka Masala for take-out and delivery, but something has definitely changed. Whether it's new ownership or a different cook, the ingredients and taste are no longer what they used to be. It's not the same quality or taste and I won't be ordering from here again. read more

Spent around 85$ here on Saturday for my pickup order. We got an order of butter chicken , lamb vindaloo, samosas, tondoori chicken, and mixed meat platter with two orders of naan. I was a little disappointed by it all. The rice was a relatively small portion. The samosas had way too much filling and not enough dough. The filling had chunks of potato and whole peas which is different than what I'm used to. The tandoori chicken was over cooked and flavorless. The butter chicken saucewas good but the chicken was over cooked and rough . The lamb was cooked well in the vindaloo but the sauce lacked flavor. The naan was also a little too thin. My fiancé and I absolutely LOVE Indian food. Since moving here we have yet to find anywhere that holds water to what we're used to so the search for a Indian place we'll frequently continues read more

The restaurant was empty when we arrived and I discovered why....the a/c was non existent and the few fans that were installed just moved hot air around, even the hostess was constantly fanning herself with a menu. Talking of which, they looked outdated and kids colored pictures would have worked better. The food arrived and it had been prepared for some time and it was not too bad....I would have preferred it without the pain in the ass flies that were buzzing around the table. We finished what we could and left. Won't be going back. read more

Although yelp shows that the restaurant is closed today, it's not closed. The food is really good and fresh. My favorites are chicken Hakka noodles, lamb and the chicken biryani. The breads are also delicious. Try it. It's delicious read more

This place is wonderful. I went in on a date with my husband this Sunday afternoon, and the food was delicious. The serving size is more than enough for leftovers. What really sold me though was this: I complimented the owner on how pretty their copper side bowls were and asked where he got them. He said "You can buy them from and Indian bazaar in Plano, but I can just give you some if you want." And sent me home with bowls! Didn't ask me to buy some from him, just gave them to me as a gift. I'm so grateful. read more

Used to be good a couple years ago, but things have gone downhill as far as flavor, portion size, and sanitation. Would not recommend anymore read more

Sad location, sad decor, and poor service. The attraction is the all-you-can-eat buffet. I was reminded of a place we used to frequent in Dubai that also had a buffet and was very popular with Indian and Pakistani workers. The difference is that place charged $2.95 (back in 2003) and had fewer flies. As an added "feature," I never received my 10% off yelp check-in bonus despite showing it to our waitress and manager several times. read more

Lunch was excellent! Garlic naan and cashmere naan was to die for. The main courses of chicken curry and fried rice with chicken was outstanding at a medium spice level. Highly recommended! read more

I've been eating here a number of years as I live close by. The food has remained consistent, vegetarian dish are very flavorful while the chicken and seafood ones tend to be under seasoned. I suspect that the chef is a vegetarian and not tasting the dishes containing meat. My only real complaint, however, is the decor. It used to be so lovely, with saffron colored walls, Indian art, real tablecloths, etc (see photos). Now it's sterile and uninviting, with whitewashed walls and paper on the tables. Feels more like a cheap diner than an Indian restaurant. I'm ordering takeout from now on, as I don't enjoy sitting in there knowing how nice it used to be. read more

Amazing butter chicken!!! Mouthwatering! The nan bread variety just makes the experience even better. I still dream about the food, it's that good. Costs you an arm and leg but totally worth it. read more

My boyfriend and I absolutely love this place! The service is always top notch, everyone is polite and attentive throughout our visits. Perfect for a sit down dinner or to take home.

Came here for the first time with friends. They frequent here often and have been telling me how good it is. Well I was not disappointed. The food was delish! I had Chicken Tiki Marsela and they had Chicken Shahi Karma with garlic Nan. So so good. Didn't seem like alot of food but I'm taking home left overs. Very filling. The Naan is the bomb! I would go there again. Sorry I didn't take a pic before I ate all the food. read more

I've been curious about India Garden for a while now and I'm so glad I ordered it tonight. I ordered the Palak Paneer, Masala Dosa and Garlic Naan via UberEats. When it arrived, it was packaged nicely and securely. The palak paneer was a little sweet and more creamy than what I am used to, but it was still very good. The masala dosa came with Sambar and a coconut chutney (spicy! But yum!) and the garlic naan was great too. I'm so happy I finally took a chance on India Garden. read more

Really enjoyed our dinners of Chicken Shahi Korma and Butter Chicken. The former had a great, burn-your-tongue kick of heat to it with excellent flavors & the latter, true to its traditional roots, was creamy with perfect seasonings and all dark meat, which I totally appreciated. Garlic naan was chock filled with garlic. Portions were large, satisfying and, although it's not exactly around the corner, (21 miles away), we hope to dine here again. read more

Not coming back to this place ever again even if it's the last place to eat indian food. We arrived for lunch on a very slow Saturday afternoon. There was just one other customer and the whole place was empty (looking back understandably so). There was a gentleman who seemed to be the owner of the place who did not care to talk to us. We let them know we are looking to dine in and looking for table for two. He seated us to the table right next where he was standing. Next up, no greeting no talk what so ever - just handed us the menus and immediately came to take the order. We ordered Malai kofta and baingan bharta and a bread basket. Since we were not planning to eating the rice right there, we asked if they could pack it Togo for us. To which, the owner promptly replied but "we have a shortage of Togo containers, I'll still give you some rice". Really!?? I would really like to ask him what does he mean by that because th menu clearly states that the entree comes with rice and is included in the price. So if they can charge for the rice, then why can we not get it Togo? Weirdest thing I've heard by far at an Indian restaurant. We got our food and we started eating. Food - Malai kofta was good and the bread basket was great - which was the only saving grace and the reason this place even received 1 star. The baingan bharta was a joke to the least. We only eat the first serving with salt so we could even eat it. The most surprising part was how the non-indian customers arriving after us were treated. There was an American family who arrived right after us and were seated right behind me. They were asked for water multiple times while the owner walked right past me 4 times but NEVER CARED to ask for water or how the food was. Pretty discriminatory behavior for your Indian customers? Definitely never returning to this location since the owner doesn't appreciate business. I will also get much food and service elsewhere read more

been getting takeout from here for the last 5 years. usually quite good. the last two times were noticeably worse quality. food is much more bland, too heavy on the sauce withe dwindling portions of protein. last night the dal makhani tasted like lentils simply boiled in water with no seasoning. ended up throwing it away as no one could enjoy it. won't be ordering here again, unfortunately. read more

Good, great food. Terrible interior, it looks like a modern American restaurant. I will only order to go food

Tasteless with very few options in the Buffet They had dry chicken 65 and cold pakoras Went there today for lunch. There was one chicken curry and there was PORK curry....never seen that in a buffet! For vegetable options there was yuca, cabbage sabji, mix vegetable curry that was watery and that was it! Naan was dry and hard to eat 1 desert only. The price is $20 a person for this meager buffet. I cannot understand how they have a 4 star rating.... read more

food was great back again love the people there and hope everyone come and get there food

Do not get the Goat Curry. I have gotten the Chicken Curry - very delicious and always plenty of meat. But the Goat Curry - was practically ALL BONE. 98% was all bone. Don't bother. Most of it was just sauce and the pieces of meat that were there were the size of my thumbnail. And no, most of the bone pieces did not have any pieces of meat. I was given rice, sauce, and bones. Sauce was tasty at least. read more

They have a buffet on the weekends that's great! All of their entrees are good. Great service and great food. 100% recommend
