    Opened it up, took the first bite and almost cracked a tooth because BONES! ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL PEOPLE with bone puncturing people's esophagus? Look at the picture below. All of that is bones? Are y'all trying to get sued? I want a refund.

    Gobi 65 appetizer

    I have been wanting to try this restaurant and was finally able to come here for lunch today. It wasn't crowded, I would imagine they are busier in the evenings. It was quick to get seated and get menu and drink order in. I wanted Samosa as appetizer but they are only available after 6 PM. I asked for a recommendation and was told Gobi 65 (fried cauliflower) which was very good. They have four different spice levels, I asked for medium since I hadn't been here before and that was just about right. The Gobi 65 was quite large and had plenty leftover to bring with me. Very good seasoning. I went with the classic Chicken Tikka Masala as the entree. It was good, came with plenty of rice. I would have liked a bit more chicken but there was plenty of sauce. I also ordered Garlic Butter Naan bread with the meal and they were fresh and tasty. I'm glad I went, lot's of more dishes to try out. This is the best Indian restaurant option in Denton for sure IMO.

    Chicken 65, low level spice. Still makes me cry lol and I love spice!

    We were the only table for a long time when they opened at 1130am. My brother and his wife ordered some tea that came in small to-go cups. The water was perfect, in plastic cups without ice - which is how I like it. I ordered tea as well, nicely spiced and with some cream. We put in appetizers for Chicken 65 and samosas (2 per order - so I asked for 2 orders). The Chicken 65 came out first, conveniently in a plastic to go container. We all got paper plates to divvy it out on. They'd asked for mild but it was pretty spicy and made my eyes water. I loved it. Very flavorful with Kadai leaves visible and delicious. Then we placed our lunch orders. We asked for chicken biryani, a very standard dish, and was informed it would take an hour for that to be prepared because they just opened... I thought that was odd, it's a popular dish so you'd think someone would come in early to make sure it was ready. So, my brother ordered the Special Chicken Curry, medium. His wife ordered Butter Chicken, mild, and I ordered Mutter Paneer, medium. The samosas hit the table soon afterwards. They are huge. We cut them in half but using plasticware, the knife had a wicked curve when it's task was completed. The samosas came with a mild, sweet, tamarind chutney and a mint Jalapeno, spicy, chutney. Very delicious for both. I preferred the mint because it was spicy. Our orders soon arrived, each came with a plastic cup of basmati rice. We shared it all family style. The bright orange curries were delicious! I piled some rice on my paper plate, spooned some curries around it. We'd ordered plain, garlic and bullet naan - and should have just ordered garlic. There were 6 pieces of naan per order. Very fresh, crunchy and homemade. The paneer was nicely done, very firm cubes of cheese in the curry sauce. The butter chicken was pretty standard and good. The Special chicken curry were bone in, so that was a little awkward eating around that with plasticware. Flavors were on point. Halfway into our visit, as people started coming in, they turned on some great Bollywood music. One of the TVs was on, also featuring Bollywood - and RRR which won an Oscar for best original song sparked a conversation about how fun it is to eat Indian food and watch Bollywood to get a little bit of the culture. The full menu is supposed to be available in a couple of weeks. I might come back to try the biryani. But, eating on paper plates with plasticware is unappealing. The experience leaves you wanting a little more and not having a common dish like biryani available during the peak lunch rush makes no sense to me. BUT. It's still worth a visit. You'll leave with enough leftovers for one more meal and the food is moderately priced. Go there. Get some. Life is too short for boring food.

    Resturant is located in between Layalina and tb winds

    I had a chance to visit the soft launch of this brand new Indian restaurant right in the heart of Denton downtown, had a conversation with owner and got to know that they are planning to open a Bar as well very soon. I have tried chilli paneer it tastes great and also had tried their chicken biryani and salt was less as it's a soft launch can completely understand but will give it a other try next time. Hope they maintain the quality and quantity of the food.

I have a have nut allergy and I have never had any allergic reactions to any of the food. I love their chicken biryani, chicken 65, all the naan breads and their chicken tikka! The spice is not too much for me and it's not over powering. I believe they can accommodate your spice level bc I do like my Indian food spicy. They do have a lunch menu but I personally just love the take out. The location does have a seating area and has a buffet section on the side; it's well kept and not too overwhelming. Give this place a try, definitely try a different item each time. This is my go to Indian restaurant in Denton .

But I was headed home and wanted to grab something en route for the family to eat. I glanced and saw a high rating and figured I can't go wrong with Indian food. Anyplace I've eaten had alway been good! So, I ordered Tandoori Chicken, Chicken Biryani, and Goat Curry through Yelp app. I was 5 minutes away and food was ready for pickup when I arrived, which pleased me but also made me wonder if it wasn't fresh. Nevertheless I arrived home and the food was packaged well and that was the end of the good experience. Surprisingly the food was rather terrible. And I have NEVER had bad Indian food. The Biryani was bland and hot for hot sake, like spicy and flavorless. The Nan was thick and rubbery. The tandoori was dry and nasty, like having a sour taste to it. My husband had the goat and said the sauce wasn't good. Overall I don't recommend this place. Seriously I hate I wasted $50+ with them and I honestly wish I could get my money back. Two thumbs way down. Save yourself and your money! Eat someplace else.

    The Butter Sauce Here Changed My Life (and Possibly My Religion)…read more Let me start by saying this. I have eaten a lot of Indian food. Like probably-should-have-a-punch-card-at-every-restaurant-in-Dallas levels of Indian food. So when I stumbled on Spicy Chowk in Denton, tucked in a random shopping center that does not exactly scream culinary magic, I was not expecting much. But then I saw it. The dining room was packed. And not just packed, people were locked in, eating like they were defending their plates from thieves. That is when I knew something serious was going down. So I parked. I walked in. And I am telling you right now, this place delivers. Let's cut straight to the chase. The butter sauce here is the truth. Forget whatever you think you know about butter chicken versus tikka masala. I ordered both on my first visit because I am a responsible adult who makes brave culinary decisions, and I can say without hesitation the butter sauce wins. It is richer, it has that perfect tang, that deep tomato pop, that silky balance of spice and cream that makes you rethink every good tikka masala you have ever had. If you are one of those tikka loyalists, hear me out. You are going to walk in thinking tikka is the move. I get it, I have been you. But trust me, the butter here is where it is at. That is your go-to order. Now let's talk momos because these little flavor bombs are not messing around. The masala momos and butter momos are next-level. I do not know what kind of magic they are working back there, but these dumplings are addictive. You get that Nepali flair with all the depth of Indian spice, and the combo plate is honestly the best way to roll. Round it all out with some garlic naan, which is dangerously good, and a side of rice, and you are basically guaranteed to leave happy, full, and maybe slightly emotional. I have had the saag, which was excellent, and the korma, which was solid, but I am telling you, the butter sauce is the star of the show. That is your ticket. Order the butter anything, butter chicken, butter paneer, butter momos, whatever. Just make sure butter is somewhere in that sentence. Bottom line, Spicy Chowk is one of those rare hidden gems that punches way above its location. It is vibrant, flavorful, and absolutely worth the drive. You will find me here dipping naan like it is a full-time job.

It's an order at a register and food brought to you type of place, so if you want full service dining I'd recommend Namaste instead. I wanted to branch out from my normal Masala or Korma, so decided to try the Chicken Pulao. Very spicy for me, but the flavor was on point. The rice was delicate, fluffy, and seasoned perfectly. I received two sauces with my meal; I'm not sure what they were, but they were mild. One was white with onions and peppers- seemed to be a yogurt sauce. The other was yellowish. Both were very tasty. I also ordered garlic naan and was not a fan of it at all. Naan is usually a must have for me when it's offered, but I'll be passing up on it the next time I eat here. It wasn't soft and didn't have much garlic flavor. Tough to chew on. Not appetizing at all. Excited to try them again.
