We…read morevisited Dil Se Desi for the first time with a couple of our friends yesterday, and it didn't disappoint for sure! We started with pani puri, and it's the most umami-packed in the area! My husband and friends ordered the thali, and I went for the masala dosa. Everything was exceptional. I even tried my husband's goat thali - something I'm usually cautious about due to the strong flavor goat can have - but every single item was well-balanced. My masala dosa was absolutely outstanding in terms of texture and crispiness with just the right amount of ghee and stuffing. The chutneys were fresh and complemented everything so well. Too bad I forgot to take the photos! The service was warm and attentive, and the restaurant itself was clean and nicely decorated. We're already planning to go back next weekend to try their buffet-style thali served on a banana leaf and the unlimited dosa. Can't wait! We couldn't be happier to have this gem just 10 minutes from home. Highly recommend!

They were very friendly and hospitable and that care transfers over to the quality of food. Edit: So I quickly made a substandard review at the restaurant because I wanted to get up new pictures. This establishment is no longer a small mainly takeout spot. They added on another unit and it has a very large sitting spot that can most likely accommodate upwards of 100 people easily. This place is 100 percent authentic. Spice levels? You either eat it or not. They take longer to prepare, but you know they are making it from scratch with love. I took home garlic and butter naan, butter chicken, Hariyali Chicken Kebab (insane the best I've ever had), and a Biryani that I specifically forgot which one. First the butter chicken is #1, often most establishments get the consistency of the curry sauce wrong...too much oil, not enough spices, or vice versa. I legit wanted to cry, it was that perfect and they don't skimp on the chicken either. The Hariyali Chicken Kebab melts in your mouth. You can taste the mint, coriander, the packed in spinach. They marinate these suckers well, it's a timely dish to make and you can tell they are fully locked in when they make it. The gongura paneer biryani was an absolute hit, my first time trying they particular biryani. Today is day two and I have a ton of leftovers, you judge the quality of a restaurant by the bread first and the naan is still moist and amazing after reheating. Not flaky or dried out after storing in the fridge overnight and reheating in the oven...... outstanding. Yo, I'm scared.... People please visit this spot. This establishment needs more traffic, I want them to stick around. They deserve all the love.

The service was slow when we went but they were understaff and super apologetic. Seems like it was more out of the norm.

I'd still go again to see if the experience is better.

Generally speaking, Indian food is better in Dallas than Austin because of the population here. We ended up ordering idiyappam with coconut milk, Kari dosa, chicken briyani parotta etc., and loved every dish. Nothing was better than the other. All of them were perfect and flavorful. The coconut milk consistency was amazing: so thick and creamy just like the ones from India. Kari dosa was exceptionally good too! Coming to ambience, they can work on it more. The restroom was not clean and there were no toilet rolls. Otherwise, the food and service was good.

Kalaki The dosa was so hot and roasted to perfection with their add-ons chutneys and sandbars, loved the sandbar and its taste. Loved all the chutney, but mainly the tomato chutney!! To top them off, the kalaki was succulent and sumptuous and loved the whole dish! I would now want to visit them again and visit Dallas just for this restaurant. I wish they opened up in Austin.

The chicken seemed to be dark meat, but it was high quality. The sauce was flavorful with just the right amount of heat. Basmati rice was perfectly cooked. The naan was thinner than most and just a bit crispy, but good. My mango lassi was enjoyable as well. Also of note - portions were generous. Counter service was professional and knowledgeable when I ordered, and they checked in during my meal to make sure everything was good. The atmosphere was pleasant - modern and clean. Definitely recommended if you're looking for a modern, casual Indian restaurant.

The curry was creamy and flavorful without being too heavy, which is perfect when you still have the rest of the workday ahead of you. And the naan? Soft, warm, and fresh... the kind that just completes the meal. The portions are generous, so you get great value for lunch. It's definitely more satisfying than the typical quick-grab options around the area. And the dining area is clean, casual, and comfortable enough to actually enjoy your break instead of rushing through a meal. Plano has a lot of Desi food options, but for a weekday lunch that delivers real taste and isn't rushed or sloppy, O'Desi Aroma stands out.

The dining area is spacious and flexible, with seating that works well for individuals, couples, and larger groups. Everything was clean, and the dining area smelled of Indian spices. There is also a separate dining room available for parties, which is a nice touch. Ordering is straightforward and efficient: you walk up to the counter, place and pay for your order, the food is delivered to your table and you enjoy it. I appreciated how generous the breakfast combos are each one comes with a good amount of food. We ordered a breakfast combo with all of our favorites: dosa, upma, idli, sambar, and vada. The dosa was well-fermented, crisp, and flavorful. The upma was soft and comforting, with a moist, fluffy texture and was well seasoning. The idli was light and fluffy, and the sambar had just the right of flavor to complement it. The vada was crisp on the outside, tender inside, and paired especially well with the sambar. We finished our meal with a masala chai and left very satisfied. The prices were reasonable for the quantity and quality of food served. Eat Streets Indian Kitchen is definitely a keeper for us and a spot we will return to when we are in the area.

Me and my wife tried out this place even though it had very less reviews, but every review was 5 star. And the food totally deserves that rating. I crave their biryani's, they give their special twist to them and they are not over the top spicy which has always been my problem with restaurant biryanis. They make deserts to weekly. You can get or order madata kaaja, badushaw, double ka meetha and their jalebis are my favorite. I know I sound like I am an employee there, but the reason I know so much is because they treat me so specially. The service is great and special, they remember you, they treat you like a friend who is visiting the place. This might be the norm since this a new branch, so go there before the place gets busy. The place is built a takeways so ambiance is not extravagant by any means and seating is limited so enjoy their food and not consider the ambience. We also ordered food for a party we hosted. Veg pakoda, chicken pakodi, veg korma, chicken biryani, jalebi and a few more items. Everyone like ld their food and took their contact.

As someone suggested, everything felt no nonsense. The biggest standout was the fresh naan they bought to the table, but that was it. The buffet itself didn't do much for me. Everything felt watered down and lukewarm. It wasn't the worst I've ever had, but it was far from great. I didn't get a ton of flavor in anything and felt like a lot of the items tasted the same. Where's the Saag Paneer or the Aloo Gobi? I felt like there were two kinds of rice, tofu stir fry (the only thing that felt like it had substance to me) and several soupy items.

Overall: Would not recommend. As a Texas local since 2014, and a second generation Indian…read moreimmigrant, this restaurant used to be a good spot to get good food. Now, the quality is very bad, and it is not worth the price. --Food-- The food is bad. Today was tiffin day., with assorted food. The grain based food like rice, pulav , and curry's are all bland and sad. The dosa is too crispy and ingredients not good. Way too much oil throughout the food, everything had too much oil Almost everything was bland and inedible, with the samosa chat and everything in the salad bar being the saving grace. The water is warm and they use foam cups. Also the watermelon is bland and not good either. The coffee is good though. --Cleanliness-- I find the table to be clean. Considering buffets as a whole, cleanliness is up there. They have real cleaning spray *looking at you Indian restaurants that use windex*, and fast table turnaround. The buffet area is clean and standard, and the salad bar area is clean too. The live dosa and uttapam station wipe with a cloth. However, the dosa station is not using any handwashing, nor is the uttapam station at all: the dosa station is touching the batter with a metal cup to scoop it: no hairnets or any aprons. The kitchen has people in sweaty T-shirts that I see when the door opens. The buffet has pizza that seems lukewarm, and the salad bar has chickpeas and other veggies that have...dubious quality. Clean plates and utensils, although the live station serves food on paper plates. --Service-- The service is okay, with no uniform so it's hard to tell workers apart, but many staff and helpful people. In general I have no complaints. --Noise-- We walked in, and immediately Indian karaoke is booming. The singing was good but too loud for such a small space...sit in the side space to avoid the noise. We choose a table that is in the main area. Otherwise, not much else to say. --MISC-- It is complicated to find info about the restaurant online, with the nights being confusing.
