Was visiting Dallas, Texas, and shopping near Galleria Mall.. was about 8 PM and most of the restaurants were already closed.. googled and found this place. Had good reviews and also. I was craving some Indian food... nice location.. lots of parking inside.. ambience inside was good.. lots of seats to sit and eat... they also had a bar inside . They had some local Indian beers too. Ordered to go... naan and goat curry. The quantity on the curry was very good... curry had so much flavor and was perfectly made .. meat wasn't too hard and was really good .. naan became slightly tough to cut but went well with the curry. Good experience overall. 4 stars .. read more

Best of Dallas winner for good reason (by D Magazine)! The $20 lunch buffet is such a good value in 2026 and every main Indian dish you'd crave is there, and includes Naan and chai tea. Very clean and relaxing ambiance as well. read more

Mughlai Restaurant - Lunch buffet - Indian Near Me - Dallas, Texas

A little expensive for a buffet ($20), but it is very good with a lot of different options. They once had a shrimp curry dish that was incredible. I wish they had more lamb or goat curries though read more

The food was really good, let's start with that. I've eaten at several nice Indian restaurants in the North Dallas area, and this ranks with the best of them. The service was helpful as well. Very nice, very friendly, didn't rush us, and answered all of our questions. The problem was the crowd. I don't know if this happens a lot, but our server told us that it did. There were probably about 50 people having a private party in the main dining area. They were cordoned off, but they had very loud music and a microphone that several group members used. Long, long toasts and "how I met your folks" kind of stuff. They were talking when we got there and they were still talking when we left about an hour and a half later. It was extremely loud. I'm all for having a good time when you go out. But I think that this restaurant needs to consider getting a private party room if they're going to continue doing this on a regular basis. There were several diners around us who appeared to be displeased with the noise level as well. Like I said, this might have been a one-off. I would definitely go back again, but I will call first and ask if they're hosting any large gatherings that night. I suggest you do the same. read more

Went today and sign on door says "temporarily closed". Website said nothing about closure and I drove quite a way. Not a great impression for customers. read more

Being Indian, I am a bit particular with my Indian spots and I love that are so many different ones to try here in DFW. I have only ever gotten take out from here, but love that they're so close to where I live which makes it easy for me when I crave a little taste of home! The restaurant is clean inside, and servers have always been friendly when I pick up my food. They have a lunch buffet daily that I want to try but haven't gotten around to yet. The pricing is different during the weekdays and weekends. That being said, the food that they provide is always good. I've had their pakoras, aloo (potato) and peas dish, mutter (peas) paneer as well as their samosas, tandoori chicken, chicken tikka and butter chicken. All of the flavors are just right, not too spicy but also not so bland that they don't taste good. I recommend you checking them out if you are looking for a solid Indian restaurant in the Addison/Richardson area. I'll definitely keep going back! read more

Mughlai Restaurant - Indian Near Me - Dallas, Texas

"Dinner tonight at Mughlai was nothing short of outstanding. The Shrimp Biryani was the star of the show--perfectly cooked, fragrant, and the spice level was spot on. We paired it with a basket of their garlic bread, which arrived warm, buttery, and delightful. If you're looking for a meal that hits all the right notes, this is it!" Not to mention left overs for the next day. Yum! read more

Came here during lunch and tried out the lunch buffet. I was quickly seated and directed to the food. Overall there was a good split of vegetarian and meat options. Unfortunately the flavor was not there. The potato in the Aloo Mattar was not cooked through. I found the Saag Paneer to be bland. The grilled dishes seemed like they'd been sitting for a while. Rogan Josh which is usually made with lamb was made with chicken didn't live up to what the dish is and fell flat. The service was good, but the food was disappointing. Overall, it'd be better to try a different spot. read more

Mughlai Restaurant - Indian Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Fantastic food for all spice levels. If you are unsure what to order, ask, the staff are eager to share their knowledge about the food. It can get a little loud in the main dining room, but this is still a good place for groups. If you have a large group, call ahead and get the back dining room for a better experience. read more

Mughlai Restaurant - Samosa - Indian Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I'm so sorry to hear that some people have had a bad experience here. EVERY visit has been fantastic. Super hospitable, always looking for a chance to give better service, and the FOOD, what a treat for anyone coming in to this venue. My gf and I have been fans for years. Mughlai is one of our top favorite Indian food spots in DFW. Family owned, and you can feel the authenticity. I have never regretted coming here and I can't wait for others to enjoy the amazing food they have to offer. Their naan is delicious with several options. And their curries always hit the spot all the way to their vegetarian options. Could use for a little bit louder music to enhance the ambiance but not drown out your conversation read more

I was craving Indian and saw the reviews so I gave it a shot. It was a weekday lunch and they had a buffet. Interior was very classy and clean. The service was attentive. Now the food... Impressive size for a lunch buffet. A lot of options including appetizers and chaat (pani puri station), veg and non veg entrees, all the sauces, and a few desserts. It was all very tasty. I had samosa, veg fry, chicken tandoori, jeera rice, veg biryani, tikka masala, gulab jamun, garlic naan. Very yummy but I wish the price point was a little lower. $20 for a weekday lunch buffet is a little high IMO. I appreciate the quality of food and various choices but I don't think it was worth $20. read more

Came here for dinner and had a good experience overall. The food was tasty and served fresh, the ambiance was nice and comfortable, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Service was attentive without being over the top. Solid spot for Indian food in North Dallas. read more

I only went here to pick my food that I ordered online and it is delish!! I can tell from the waiting area in the front door, the ambiance is very welcoming... nice resto decors! I was also greeted in a timely manner. I waited maybe 5 mins co they were still preparing my food and that is ok coz I know it will be hot and freshly made from the oven! read more

Delicious Indian food! Biryani rice was tasty and rich in flavor!!! We tried all the veggie dish and theyre so yummy! Service: greeted kindly by the lady, thank you!!! It's a nice restaurant and clean when we came!!! Great experience will come back. read more

Mughlai is good Indian food. They offer buffet for lunch. They have a nut friendly menu. It never disappoints!

This is hands down THE best Indian cuisine in all of DFW. The service is amazing, the attention is out of this world, and the food is like no other. I felt so happy being here and felt like I was transported to another world. Definitely give it a shot! read more

Enjoyed the food, not amazing, but better than some other North Indian restaurants, and the restaurant itself is family friendly and comfortable, but the service is really bad. Price is pretty steep for the portions and you have to order rice and bread separate from your entrees. We went at 8PM and when our server came to our table to ask if we were ready, we told her we needed a few minutes, she was annoyed and said, well the kitchen closes in 20 minutes. ? Alright? It's not going to take 20 minutes to come up with our order ma'am. Through out dinner, various servers and bussers kept trying to take our plates away, and rush us out of the restaurant. Our waitress looked bothered the entire time. We got out of there I believe 10 minutes after they closed at 9:10. Won't be returning- no one really wants to feel like that a restaurant. Advice to management- train your staff to have some courtesy and customer service as it relates to dining. If anything I'll order delivery next time. read more

Mughlai Restaurant - Indian Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I was craving Indian food one night and decided to give this place a try. Indian food is my absolute favorite cuisine. I ordered the Murgh Tikki Marsala with a side of garlic naan. The marsala was quite flavorful but I think next time I will get it more spicy, however it was very good . This was a pickup order but I though the dining area was nice when I arrived. Simple but nice. I see they have a small bar set up there. I pass this place often and just never stopped in. Can we please get some applause for the garlic naan? So amazingly buttery with the perfect hint of garlic. I will be back but next time I will try another dish. read more

Really great experience here on a Friday night. I tried lamb, chicken, and vegetable options, some garlic naan and rice. I really like the refined, serene atmosphere. I've been seeking an Indian place that, "feels" a bit more upscale and this satisfies that. I tried medium and, "Indian-hot" spice levels, and I was happy with both. Our server was helpful and informative, and knowledgeable about all aspects of the menu. I will DEFINITELY be back! read more

Great food! One of the best Indian restaurants in north Dallas. Want to go for their lunch buffet soon.

We were here with my parents last night and the food was amazing. I love their complementary papad chutney concept ( so cool!). Paneer tikka sizzler is a regular that we get every time we are here. I'm lactose intolerant now so I don't eat it anymore but my husband loves it and my parents loved it too. Their paratha basket is huge with different types of paratha/roti. We got the dal makhani, veg jalfrezi and bhindi masala, Almost similar to what you get in India except Jalfrezi it was just alright. The service is great and so is the ambience. But I wish there was a veggie sizzler option instead of just paneer, because I love the tikkas here! Overall we had a good time! read more

Disappointed with Portion Sizes - Beware! I was really craving tandoori chicken and decided to order takeout from this restaurant. They told me that 10 pieces of tandoori chicken would be $35, which seemed reasonable at first--I assumed it would be a decent amount of food for the price. However, when I got my order, I was shocked to find that their idea of "10 pieces" was more like 10 tiny, bite-sized pieces! Several pieces could be eaten in one bite, making the portion size ridiculously small for the price. For $35, I expected a lot more, especially from a dish as hearty as tandoori chicken. The flavor was fine, but the value for money was extremely disappointing. Very dissaponted. read more

Really enjoyed this spot! The location is easy to get to, the service was super friendly, and the food was full of flavor. Everything we tried was delicious. Definitely a place I'd go back to. read more

Service and food were excellent. The menu has a lot of options. Concerned about allergies - let your server know and they will tell you options to help avoid the allergens. Depending on your allergy, they may have a separate menu. The food was delicious! Ingredients were fresh and the food came from the kitchen piping hot. Our dinner party had six people and everyone talked about how good the food tasted and the quality. Our servers were friendly and helped us navigate the menu choices and spice level. The restaurant is clean. It's located in a strip mall and can be missed. Don't give up if you go past the restaurant. It's definitely worth your time and patience to dine at this gem. read more

The whole wait staff took such great care of us, and accommodated our wide variety of spice tolerances (nailed it for everyone). For one of us with a gluten allergy, they have a dedicated GF/allergen menu (all curries but not paneer are gluten free, plus wide variety of desserts) and wait staff are trained to talk about food allergies and preparation. We took our toddler and he loved the ambiance and food. They do a lot of takeout but if you have the opportunity to actually dine there, they will make it worth your time! read more

The Dallas area is blessed with excellent Indian food options, so an Indian restaurant that stands out must be amazing. I tried Mughlai on a recent business trip, because it was reasonably close to where I was staying. I ended up eating three meals at Mughlai in the space of two days. Yes, it was that good. The first time I visited, I asked the server what her favorite thing on the menu is. She pointed out several good choices, and suggested I should really try the Masaladar Goat. I hadn't had Dahi Baray in several years, so I got an order to start, then the Masaladar Goat along with rice and bread, and an order of Kheer to finish things off. The Masaladar Goat was excellent. It was a hearty, satisfying, and spicy goat curry. It's true that goat curry is almost always good, but this particular curry was entirely delicious. The Kheer at Mughlai is a work of art. When I was finishing up, someone at the restaurant suggested that "next time" I should try the Lamb Chops Adraki, so I returned the next night and ordered the Lamb Chops and some Naan. It's no exaggeration to say the Lamb Chops Adraki are the best thing I have eaten in a restaurant. I have eaten rack of lamb many, many places. None were as astonishing as the Lamb Chops Adraki at Mughlai. They were like a blackened rack of lamb, with an Indian twist. They were entirely encrusted, sizzling, and succulent. On my third visit, the server didn't seem surprised to see me anymore. They gave me the same seat every time, which was a nice hospitable touch. The service was excellent. There are only two real drawbacks with Mughlai. First, the prices are high. This is not a budget-friendly place to eat. It's clean, the service is amazing, and the food is excellent; but it's expensive. I think the prices are good for what you get, but it's not cheap. Second, the restaurant closes early in the evenings. On the whole, this is a good thing: it allows the employees to have their own lives. But it's worth mentioning that I had already tried to visit the restaurant at least twice on previous trips, and had found it closed. I went to Mughlai on a whim, and I'm so glad I did. I shall certainly visit again when I'm next in the area. read more

Wow. Is this place taking a nap? The Vegetable Byrani was full of whole dates WITH the seed. Ouch! The Saag Paneer was curiously sour. (?). C'mon guys. You're better than this. Wake up! read more

Unfortunately, middle of the road Indian Cuisine. Atmosphere was OK and service was uncoordinated. I think we had 4 or 5 different service people all doing different things. read more

Best Indian food I've ever had. It's won awards and I'm so lucky it's across the street. Incredible

Excellent food! Wonderful service and nice atmosphere. I will definitely be back. We ordered two vegetarian dishes and naan. The Kashmir Naan is delicious and goes well with a spicy dish. read more

"The food quality was very poor, especially at the buffet, which was so high for the price and less options, If looking for good food and a good price, consider finding a different restaurant in Dallas. it really sucks !." read more

Pricey but probably the best Indian food in Dallas. If I don't like an Indian place, it's usually because they either tone down the spices too much (not the heat, the actual seasoning) or the gravies are too thin/creamy. This place has neither of these issues, every dish is a perfectly cooked, flawlessly seasoned flavor bomb. Garlic naan is loaded with garlic and comes out so fresh and hot that I've burned my fingertips on occasion. Not an expert but the texture/flavor seem like the dough is made in-house. As mentioned, the prices are high but the portions are also huge, and we usually get 2 (sometimes 3) meals out of a trip here. They're also very generous with the proteins: the biryanis and curries seem like they're 50% meat by volume. My girlfriend has actually commented that there's too much meat a couple times. All of this is referring to the actual sit down dinner menu. The lower reviews seem to be from people who've only eaten the lunch buffet, which IMO doesn't actually qualify you to leave a review of the restaurant. That said, I've had the buffet and they're not wrong about it: it's a few dollars more than a typical Indian lunch buffet and the quality of the buffet is noticeably lower than the actual sit down dinners. I wouldn't go back for the buffet but I'm willing to drive the 40 minutes for the dinner. Final random side note: the bartender makes one of the best old fashioneds I've ever had. Go figure. read more

One of my favorite go-to Indian restaurants. I've tried a bunch & this one is one of my favorites. I even brought the pickiest eaters who never gave Indian food a fair chance here & they loved it! I started coming here just for their curries, but later enjoyed their lunch buffets. I personally hate buffets in general because usually the food is just sitting under a heat lamp for hours & doesn't taste fresh, but you can see the staff constantly changing out the food & supplying freshly made items. I believe they upped the price for the buffet to $17 a person now but the last time I went it was $15. Sure you can go to cheaper buffets but I'm not sure you'll find the quality. Everything I've tried was great, the samosas, the buffet but if you're new the cuisine you can never go wrong with the chicken tikka masala with the delicious buttery naan bread. read more

Mughlai Restaurant - Chicken Tikka Makhani (butter chicken), with butter naan, & Jeera Rice - Indian Near Me - Dallas, Texas

This is an understated star in Dallas. The staff is welcoming and attentive, the menu is diverse, and the food is simply delightful. I've only been here once, but the Chicken Biryani was DELICIOUS. And so was the Kheer. The spices and flavours are enchanting, and food is prepared to order per level of desired spicy-ness. The restaurant is comfortably classy and has pleasant Indian music playing softly. Prices are very modest. I left feeling beyond satisfied and had leftovers for the next day (breakfast, as i was looking forward to it so!!). read more

Good food but insanely expensive. There are equally as good Indian restaurants for 1/2 the price.

Very nice lunch buffet! I came here with friends - a group of 9 - and a buffet is really the only way to go. There's an excellent selection, from veg offerings to meat and mild to spicy. One dessert option provided, but it was my favorite rice pudding so yay! A server seats you and brings/refills drinks. In fact, service here is the best I've ever experienced in a buffet environment. It's obvious meals are their main focus because the buffet is not permanently installed. In a way I like this because you know they are concentrating on food quality not quantity/speed. What I didn't like was the price - $18 after tax for the buffet. That's just a bit higher than I'm used to paying for a similar experience at India Palace (my favorite Indian lunch buffet which also offers far more selection) and significantly higher than the lunch buffet at Mumtaz (my 2nd favorite Indian lunch buffet with more selection). Would I go back here? Sure. It was a great experience and the food was excellent. read more

If you are a vegetarian avoid their lunch buffet. We knew before we walked in that they do not have a huge selection of items on their buffet. But, what sucks was the quality of the food. The vegetable manchurian was bad.Huge balls of semi cooked vegetables, semi fried, heavily under seasoned. The one veggie appetizer they had was so bad. Most Indian restaurants however good/bad they are, atleast get the chana masala right. This was beans from a can, hardly any gravy with no taste. The aloo methi and cabbage were decent. The only thing worth paying money for was their jalebi. If I'm paying $40 for two people, atleast some of your dishes should be good. Never going back, we were considering catering food for a party from them, no more! read more
