Garlic Butter Naan
Lysette R.

Ordered tikka masala to go. Maybe 3 pieces of chicken. Chicken is dry. Very bland overall. Ordered medium spice level but it's mild. No silverware was provided for my to go order either.

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.

Food is flavorful, place does not smell the best to eat in. I think it's due to the old building downtown. Staff is friendly.

I love this restaurant! Indian food is made with a lot of nut products to keep the curry rich but…read moreSangam is great about not using nuts. 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 .

I suppose it's my own fault for not actually READING the most recent reviews. I realize now that…read moreall the good reviews have been over 1yr ago. 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.

You'll find regional dishes you won't find on other Indian restaurant menus plus the old standbys. We eat here weekly and we keep finding new favorites. If you'd like a new twist on an old favorite, try their Brussels sprouts or fried potatoes apps. If you like Chinese fried dumplings, try their momo. New to Indian: butter chicken is for you. Love variety? Order a thali (full meal). Naan is SO light and buttery you will find you can eat more than you planned. Flavors are rich and complex: you'll be back before you know it!

I started out with samosa's, not bad but I've had better samosa's. They have a pretty big menu with most common Indian dishes you would expect. They also have biryani's and nepalan dishes. I talked to the server and she mentioned the "Chowk special curry" is one of their popular dishes and I decided to try something different. I ordered it with chicken. Their spice scale is mild, medium and spicy. I can usually eat spicy as long as it doesn't get too crazy but decided to go with medium. This dish is spicy, I was still sweating bullets but that's ok. It was delicious. You can order it with most normal protein's I ordered it with chicken and it was great. I also ordered their "bullet naan", naan bread with some kind of chili from my understanding. It was good, not too spicy and a bit different. They have many different types of naan bread. Service was great and I really liked the food. I thought it was also quite affordable. I will definitely be back and try some of their other dishes soon!

Tried them recently (named Bindaas). Very authentic and spicy (they did not have a spicyness level…read moreoption -be fore warned if you are new to Indian food heat!). The atmosphere is nice (I miss Sweetwater though, lots of memories in there) and the customer sercive was polite, although if you are not knowledgeable about what you like, it may be hard to navigate the large menu. I recommend the onion samosas! Glad to have more traditional Indian food choices in Denton that are not locked into having to dumb down the spice level to get locals to eat there, since so many Indians live in Denton now. My Indian food review resume: been to India twice, Nepal (momos!), have tried over 50 indian restaurants in the DFW area (some of the best Indian food in the world can be found here!), and have eaten at Indian restaurants in many major US cities. Im not Indian, but I have decent experience with their food (North and South)

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.

This culinary gem promises to elevate your food truck experience. However, its soaring popularity has led to a subsequent increase in prices, a drawback that could be remedied by offering more economical options, particularly considering the abundance of students in Denton seeking affordable dining choices. Having sampled nearly every offering on the menu, save for their biryanis, I can attest to the exceptional and flavorful fare this establishment provides. Among my favorites are the indulgent Ghee Karam dosa or Masala Ghee Karam Dosa, the savory Chicken Fried Rice, and the delightful Chitti Punugulu. Furthermore, the staff exudes warmth and hospitality, further enhancing the overall dining experience. Ambiance is decent.

Ordered goat biryani and tikka masala to go with garlic naan bread which is my kids' favorite. At 30 mins i went to ask and was then told it would be ANOTHER ten mins with little more than a disnissive apology. $40 including a tip which you enter at the register......I might have adjusted it had I known about the wait....LOL.....In any case you can imagine how annoying it is to see everybody else get food while you're waiting for yours. Left with the food and the intention not to return. However to be fair, the food was pretty good when I got home and ate with the family. The spices are just beautifully done and cooked with care. While the wait is not ideal I can say the food was great. If it was just about the food I'd say 4-5 stars easily and perhaps I'd call it in next time and finish a few more pickleball games next door before walking over to pick it up. But the overall experience I would rate a 3. All forgiven as I realize sometimes it happens. Maybe next time it will be better overall.
