Super excellent food, great ambience and even better service. You eat here for an experience. Yes it is pricey but at the same time "A Best Buy". read more

From peaceful, beautiful interior design to courteous, friendly staff to show-stopping food, this place is a gem. It's a special-occasion spot, complete with dress code for inside seating or more casual waterside patio dining. You can expect the highest quality food and drinks, and you should expect commensurate prices. But they're fair. Do not skip any course; they build your dinner like it's a masterpiece. Presentation is an art form, and if you don't know your way around the menu, they will guide you toward your perfect meal. read more

Worth a one time visit. Service is great although they could use more main servers. I have sat in the private room and outside. Might be noisy in the main room. Food to try - Appetizers -Daheen kaa guchchaa Paneer tikka Chicken tikka (tender but too salty) Daheen puri Wine by the glass is limited. Sandalwood cocktail is not a good choice. Entree - prawn curry, goat signature curry Saag paneer - paneer was raw and not simmered in the saag. Pindi chole - too dry Kala gasi - too dry Chicken / paneer curries - nothing special but good to try Dessert - chocolate cake, rasmalai read more

Food was amazing! Service was attentive. I also really enjoyed the view from our table. Definitely recommend for a special occasion. read more

Sanjh Restaurant - Dessert Prices are insane. - Indian Near Me - Irving, Texas

We decided to visit Sanjh for a friend's birthday. It was quite busy on a Saturday evening. Our reservation was at 7 pm. The atmosphere was upscale and the prices reflected it. Our server was attentive and explained the menu was more "Modern Indian" food versus "Traditional Indian" food. We followed our server's lead and ordered the Bharwan Paneer Tikka along with traditional Somosas for appetizers. The Samosas were tasty but were a bit on the tiny side. The Bharwan Paneer Tikka was the standout dish of the evening. For our main dishes, we ordered the Dal Tadka, Bhindi Do Pyaza, and New Delhi Butter Chicken. We ordered some additional Garlic Naan and White Rice to accompany the main dishes. All the dishes were pretty standard without being too spicy. You might be a little disappointed if you like your Indian Food on the spicier level. We finished off with Rasmali and Kulfi Falooda. The Rasmali was the highlight of dessert. The flavors of pistachio and the accompanying sauce was a great combination. Overall, Sanjh is a fancy Indian Restaurant. I would return for a special event given the upscale atmosphere. You also have to open to interpretations of traditional Indian Cuisine. read more

The food here was excellent and the staff were really attentive. My favorite dish was the lamb chops! We also ordered butter chicken, garlic naan, blue cheese stuffed kulcha, prawns, and mango laasi. All of the dishes tasted good. This is a fine dining Indian restaurant so the dishes are pretty expensive. The interior of the restaurant is gorgeous and spacious! I like that we were able to see the food being cooked in the kitchen. read more

Sanjh's interior is very stylish and chic. The restaurant is also in a charming area next to the water with tables inside and outside. Following the restaurant's aesthetics, the food is beautifully presented. We're talking about using smoke, pouring sauce at the table, and preparation at the table. The plating is also stunning. I like the Dahi Puri, the Bharwan Paneer Tikka, and the Garlic Naan is probably the best naan I've had in a while. Unfortunately the rest of the food did not taste as good as it looked. The butter chicken was $35! I was expecting something way better than what I received... I was so disappointed. My friend ordered the Paneer Makhan and she was disappointed as well. For the price you pay, we were both expecting the top of the top in Indian flavors. This was not it. read more

Food is amazing! Best indian food in dfw!!! Service was really good as well. The minus one star because they messed up the bill and gave us someone else's bill.

Dress code enforced. read more

High Tea at Sanjh in Irving. Had a great time trying out Sanjh's Diwali High Tea menu. We were able to choose our own tea and then our own savory bites, sweets, and sandwiches. An exiting twist compared to other high teas with set menus, or menus for the table specifically. Between all four of us, we were able to try everything . They have a nice variety of loose leaf teas that are steeped at the table and a good variety of bites to try as well. Everything tasted good but the vibes were definitely giving fancy high Tea. Service was attentive and explained the food and how to order. Overall, it was a wonderful experience that I'd recommend to others who want to experience a indian high tea. read more

Sushmita you made us have the best meal in Dallas. I don't remember If I had such flavorful indian food. The food was nicely platted! With well chosen recipes. The suggestions from Sushmita was spot on. I usually don't like the ones recommended, but today all the dishes were made to perfection. They had a special menu for Mocktails which was helpful with couple of my friends who don't drink. The fine dine experience was spot on! From the silverware to the plates, to the glasses and the decor. read more

Sanjh Restaurant - Indian Near Me - Irving, Texas

The Sanjh is a fine-dining Indian restaurant situated alongside the Mandalay Canal. The ambiance of the place was great, and the place was very modern. The see-through kitchen added to the dining experience as you can watch your food being made. There's a mini park nearby where you can also take a post-meal stroll. I started off with the anarkali mocktail, and this drink was amazing! We ordered the dahi puri as an appetizer, and it tasted good. Blueberries are one of my favorite fruits, and I was pleased to see it used as a garnish on the dahi puri. It was plated well, and I loved the crunch of the puri as I ate this dish. I thought the dahi puri had a great mix of flavors in terms of sweet and spice. Paneer is my favorite Indian dish, and the way the plate was presented with smoke added to the dining experience. While I thought the crispiness added from the tandoor was great, the paneer wasn't as soft as it should be on the inside. It's difficult to conquer this cooking technique of crunchy outside, softer interior in dishes such as fried mac & cheese balls, fried cheese with honey, and more. For the main, we ordered the gulnar kofta. This dish was plated with edible silver that resembled a foil-like texture. The idea of figs mixed with paneer to create the kofta was interesting. However, this dish was more on the sweeter side than I would have liked. I wish there was some spice to balance out the sweetness of the fig. Garlic naan to accompany this dish was great! The rasmalai presentation was unlike any rasmalai presentation I have ever seen. I loved the visual presentation that included the waitress flambéing the dessert. I thought the dessert was perfect with the white chocolate mousse, however the cookie that it came with felt slightly stale. Only thing I would change is having a crunchier and fresh cookie kind of like a pirouline. Our waitress, Sushmita, went above and beyond in terms of her service. It was obvious she was very knowledgeable about the menu, and she spent the time to know the processes behind how the dishes were made. She served all the dishes and constantly checked in on us. Sanjh is lucky to have her! read more

Celebrated our anniversary at Sanjh When the question came where to celebrate with fine dining vegetarian options, from friends recommendations and reviews in Yelp and Google narrowed down to Sanjh and Jashan. Reviews pointed Sushmita's service at Sanjh and decided to celebrate at Sanjh. In the open table reservations, spelled out few requirements and expected a response, thought they are too busy hence didn't respond. But the moment we walked in they greeted, remembered every aspect of our asks. Mr Akash, general manager of the restaurant came and greeted, inquired about food. Ambiance is very good too. Food quality is excellent. We will be returning to celebrate more occasions here. In my opinion, Customer interacting Staff like Sushmita and Aakash coupled with mgmt decision not to compromise on quality of food will be key to succeed any restaurant business. To be fair, will try Jishan too, hope they pay attention to their reviews and address them. read more

Sanjh is an upscale Indian restaurant in Irving-Las Colinas's Water Street. Sanjh feels like stepping into a world-class Michelin-starred restaurant. I didn't know restaurants like this existed in Las Colinas but I'm glad it does. My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - The moment I stepped into Sanjh, my eyes were immediately drawn to the stunning bar that anchors the space like a jewel. It's sleek, modern, and beautifully lit - an elegant fusion of contemporary design and warm hospitality. There is plenty of comfortable seating in both booth style and tables. 1 Star. Service - The entire staff is dressed in sharp suits and ties, exuding professionalism and grace. From the moment we were greeted to the final goodbye, the staff made us feel like honored guests. They were attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely passionate about the dining experience. Use OpenTable to make a reservation. 1 Star. Food - While I'm no culinary expert on Indian cuisine, I can confidently say that everything I tasted was delicious. I started with a familiar dish - the samosa. It was golden and crisp on the outside, with a perfectly spiced filling that was both comforting and exciting. For my main, I went with the servers recommendation, the Punjabi Chicken Curry. It was rich and aromatic, with tender chicken simmered in a velvety tomato-based gravy infused with warming spices. I ordered garlic naan on the side and dipped it in the curry so I could savor every bite. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. As someone who lives nearby, I feel incredibly lucky to have Sanjh so close. I'll absolutely be returning. But even if you're not local, this restaurant is worth the drive. It's a destination, and one that delivers an unforgettable dining experience every single time. 1 Star. read more

The vibe and the location is awesome! I felt the food to be average! The goat sheekh kebab was dry, but the rogani chicken was amazing. The mango prawn curry was really good though. About the drinks, I had to send back a mango based drink with chilli tincture as it was just bland with lot of spice. And believe me, I eat spicy food! The madras mail and Kashmiri kahwa coffee drinks were good I think we got a decent service considering it was Fourth of July weekend! Just did not like the suggestions the server had for us, should have just stuck to our decisions, but that's on me haha! Overall, this is a not so needed super expensive restaurant with an average food! read more

We loved their Sunday brunch buffet. Excellent service and a price you would expect at a place like this. Definitely a favorite.

Sanjh is an upscale Indian restaurant located in Irving Texas. They have a modern twist with classic Indian dishes including biriyani and butter chicken. We ordered several dishes from the menu and did them family style. Food was jam packed with so much flavor. There was nothing I ate, that I didn't enjoy. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because service was slightly slow. It was hard to get their attention for ordering and refills. read more

This review is for their Sunday brunch buffet. We had a reservation, so were seated promptly. At 11.30 am, there was only one other table. The ambiance is very nice, beautiful decor. We started Kammagani cocktail and Basmati rice beer, which were smooth and delicious! All the food was super fresh and taste and spicyness was on spot. The meats were tender and curries were flavorful. In comparison, the desserts were limited and just okay, not quite impressive. Service was good. Overall, it was a great experience. I wish they included atleast the basic chai/coffee/soda in the buffet price....most other brunch buffets at this price point include basic non-alcoholic beverages. read more

Sanjh - A Memorable Fine-Dining Experience Sanjh offers an amazing ambience paired with impeccable service and truly delicious food. From the moment we arrived, the staff was warm, friendly, and extremely accommodating. Our server, Rohit, was courteous and knowledgeable--his recommendations were spot on and elevated our dining experience. We ordered the Bharwan Paneer Tikka, it was stuffed from inside and bursting with flavor; the paneer was fresh, soft, and absolutely melt-in-the-mouth. The Dal Makhani was rich, creamy, and incredibly satisfying--comfort food done right. Every dish tasted authentic and freshly prepared. With its elegant atmosphere and exceptional hospitality, Sanjh is the perfect place for a date night or celebrating special milestones.

Cornish hen butter chicken- never had a dish prepared like this before. But the sauce and the boned chicken was very delicious Masaaledaar Champan- (lamb chops) the spice rub and the char from the grill made this entree finger licking good Bharwan paneer tikka- seasoned cheese cubes topped with nuts, and cream.

Came here as a party of five plus a toddler for dinner on a Tuesday evening. The place was quite packed and it had low upbeat music playing. The staff was very attentive (and helped when the toddler made a little mess). We ordered a large variety of food but I tried the spinach kebab (spicy and absolutely delicious. I would order these alone in bulk), the chicken kebab (also spicy and good but second to the spinach), the veg soup (tasty), and the masala dosa (very nice flavor). My companions all loved their meals as well. I did however have one issue which was how they box takeaway. We were a group of five in three different households and they boxed all of our food into shared containers so people who ordered certain dishes could not take their dish home without a bit of rigermarole. read more

Everything was impeccable. The location is gorgeous, the decor very elegant and beautiful. White tablecloth service to match. The food was as delicious as it was beautiful. We started with the paneer tikka and chicken seekh kabab. I preferred the paneer, which we both really loved. For entree, hubs had the butter chicken and I had the lamb chops (masaaledaar chaampan). Both were really outstanding. We accompanied this with steamed rice (fine, nothing special) and the best naan I've ever had in my life.for dessert we had the rasmalai. It had silver leaf, saffron and an edible candle. It was delicious and worthy of a Michelin star. Be warned, this is fine dining. You should be prepared for a check that reflects the quality of the food and overall experience. That said, I will be back next time I'm looking for a special occasion Indian meal. Outstanding. read more

My wife and I decided to try this spot for our anniversary dinner, intrigued by the mixed reviews. It turned out to be quite an experience. The ambiance of the restaurant is elegant and beautiful, setting the tone for a special evening. Customer Service: The service was excellent from start to finish. The staff consistently checked in to ensure we were well taken care of, and the food arrived fresh and quickly. Do note that a 20% gratuity is automatically added to all checks. Food: - Dahi Bhalla (9/10): This was probably our favorite dish, even though it's technically an appetizer. These fritters are soaked in creamy yogurt and topped with tamarind and mint chutneys. The texture was delightful, and the flavors were bold and well-balanced. - Masaaledaar Chaampan (6/10): These grilled lamb chops were beautifully plated, and the meat was tender and juicy. However, the portion--three small chops for $45--felt overpriced to me. - Pindi Choley (6/10): A chickpea dish served with leavened bread. If you're from Kerala, it's essentially a highly flavored version of kadala curry. The flavors were great, and the bread was a standout with the taste of dosa and the texture of poori. - New Delhi Butter Chicken (4/10): This was my least favorite dish, which was surprising since I usually love butter chicken. The curry had an overpowering cumin flavor and lacked spice. The portion was disappointing--$35 for what seemed like a small serving for that price. - Garlic Naan (8/10): Classic garlic naan with buttery garlic flavor. Watching the chefs prepare it fresh in the tandoor added to the experience. Cocktails: The real highlights of the evening were the cocktails, which elevated our overall impression of the restaurant. - Yang's Old Fashioned (10/10): As a fan of Old Fashioneds, I found this exceptional! The bold Indian aromas made it a standout drink. I tried to catch what the bartender used besides the listed ingredients, but it remained a mystery. - Gulab Jal (8/10): A vodka-based drink with rose water. My wife found it refreshing and flavorful. Overall Rating: 7/10 The cocktails and stellar customer service earned this spot a high rating. However, the food's steep prices with smaller portions were a letdown, even for a "fancy" Indian restaurant. read more

Gorgeous restaurant with stunning ambiance and fantastic service, but the food is just okay and overpriced. Ambiance & Service: Upscale and modern interior with marble walls and a gold foil ceiling. Service was excellent--friendly, professional, and attentive. Loved the personal touch of food being served directly. Food & Drink: - Drink: Anarkali - delicious mocktail! Not too sweet and refreshing. - Apps: Bharwan Paneer Tikka, Saag Anjeer Ke Kebab, and Truffle Blue Cheese Kulcha - The kulcha was tasty but lacked truffle flavor; the paneer and saag were flavorful. - Mains: Saag Paneer, Paneer Makhani, and Garlic Naan - Saag Paneer was the standout--spicy and savory perfection! The Paneer Makhani was bland and had an odd texture. - Overall: Overpriced for the quality. For example, $5 for a side of onions is egregious. TL;DR: Stunning ambiance, great service, but the food doesn't match the hype or price. read more

I knew I was in the right place when the waitstaff was able to pronounce my name correctly and more than half the tables were old South Asian men (in other words, my age). The food is quite good, a sampling from across the subcontinent but their strongest dishes are the usual Northern Indian choices like butter chicken and the goat curry. Very sophisticated and elegant, very much fine dining ambiance which makes the very high prices more palatable. This place is expensive even for Los Colinas, but the quality is also much better than the area average. Kind of mild on the spice level, but then I did show up with Gora friends. read more

Went for the weekend buffet. It was pretty tasty, but I'm only giving this spot 3 stars because the $50 per adult and $25 per child 5+ years and above is not warranted. At that price, I would expect more gourmet ingredients - perhaps seafood curries, prawns, oysters, etc., or a greater variety of breads (not just butter naan, but also cheese naan, garlic naan, etc.). This buffet really doesn't hold itself above any of the other area restaurants that offer buffets for $15-$20. Also, there's minimal options for young kids (mine are 6 and 3), because everything has medium levels of spice to it. For that reason, I'm giving a middle-of-the-road 3 stars and I won't be back again. read more

We came here for a weekend dinner for our anniversary. We came a few minutes before our reservation and were seated promptly. The staff is extremely friendly and really helpful with their recommendations. The place itself is stunning. We sat right by the bar so got to see the bartenders making the drinks. Their liquor selection is vast and the presentation is beautiful. For food, we started with the calamari which was fried to perfection. The sauce was a bit tart but still very solid. The chicken biriyani was amazing! Lots of flavor to it and the chicken was tender and falling off the bone. We also got garlic naan and goat curry which again was flavored really well. The portions were all very generous so we got to take food home as well. The meal was finished off with a nice cake for our anniversary. Overall, a 10/10 experience! read more

Sanjh Restaurant - DAHI PURI - Indian Near Me - Irving, Texas

Well where do I begin? It started where my wife wanted to treat me for my first fathers day celebration as a newly father I deserve to enjoy my time during that day, as we reached over the restaurant we were approached by the host and the reservation was made as we entered the restaurant we were directed over to our table, As we sat my wife felt water dripping on her shoulders and I said honey its probably nothing, until I pulled my chair besides her and felt the cold, dirty, unsafe water from the air conditioner dripping on my head, on father day we ordered some appetizer and I'll tell you they were the most depressing and stale appetizers I've ever tasted, at Sanjh the expectation were high and might with the level of food they serve is amateur. I asked kindly for my check but they pushed me to stay for a second chance as I did and the second appetizer I'll rank it a 6 out of 10. I asked multiple times for my bill as they refused to bring it so I just walked up and started heading my way out with my wife and new born where I get approached by Aakash and Diksha, now amongst everyone I think it was just a scam and bait and switch where they not only promised us that they'll take care of us next time we come over but texted us that too as I will share over here. So today being my wife's birthday, I texted said managers above and asked if today was a good day and I was told yes today is a great day come on over we'll take care of you. I seriously could've gone anywhere but I believe in giving chances to my fellow restaurants, At the beginning the customers service was delightful until the final meal truly great service by the waiters Im displeased and disappointed by having 70% of my food being served cold to us. The side of rice was cold, the lentils (daal) was cold couldn't understand the texture, the butter chicken was half cold half warm the only thing that seems fresh was probably the mojitos lol. So after having our meals and being told we will be taken care of long story being short We were handed a bill Seriously! That is something absolutely obnoxious. As I had the manager Aakash he simply said I comped you for the mojito and one desert. Buddy every restaurant gives out free dessert on peoples birthday. Didn't do much effort or compensation by taking off a few bucks off the mojitos. As I asked him wait why did I come here and why did your counter partner insisted on coming here if you weren't going to take care of my from the horrible experience I received the last visit And I quote "Sir as I'm the manager here I have limitations to what I can remove off your bill" But then I showed him the message his counter partner sent to me, he said she wasn't feeling well so she left so I can't confirm, huh funny you say that to me after all your staff has been around here and also she was around my infant son and perhaps did get my infant son sick or me or maybe even my wife. I don't eat for free, I never will eat for free, even If I go over a friend's house I never come empty handed. I hope no one reaches out to me as this was still a pure observation of bait and switch and thinking they still live in India and they can get away from such service. Good luck guys! Hopefully this review defines the image of Sanjh read more

Sanjh Restaurant - Butter chicken, SAAG PANEER, garlic naan. Open view of the kitchen. - Indian Near Me - Irving, Texas

Sanjh is a great find in the Irving area with some unique food and beverage options. A refreshing find to have some really good Indian fare. Making a table reservation thru OpenTable was easy. Valet parking and self parking options are available. We were seated promptly as we walked into the restaurant. The ambiance is really good with a really nice bar seating option as well. Aryan waited on our table and his service was exemplary. He offered great recommendations from the menu and they were all winners. The cocktail menu is interesting and offers some unique drinks. Definitely recommend Monsoon in Meghalaya for the flavors and the smoked old fashioned for the flavors & showmanship. Appetizers are the highlight - do try the fried squid, Saag Anjeer Ke Kabab & Paneer Tikka. Biryani for the main course was fine, not the most authentic. The rotis and gulnaar kofta are recommended. Overall quality & portion size of the food was excellent. We were celebrating a birthday and the restaurant made it special with a piece of cake. It's the little things that mean a lot. Pricing : Not an inexpensive restaurant but you get total value for the money you spend. 20% service charge is added. Will I return? : Without doubt! This restaurant offers a complete dining experience which you will cherish. read more

Having read about the difficulty in obtaining a reservation soon after the restaurant opened, I was intrigued. Fine dining Indian restaurants can be considered as oxymoronic, given the nature of the cuisine. Which is a shame since south Asian cuisine is vast and has much to offer. My wife and I visited the restaurant after dining at pacific table, right across the lake. Thus, I preface this review by saying we only had dessert and mocktails and came as walk-ins close to 10pm. The restaurant itself was very well designed and seemed purpose built. The vaulted ceilings, gold accents, golden trees, marbled bar exuded opulence and were beautiful. Our server, Akhriti was the star of the night. She was kind, prompt and effortlessly explained the various drinks and desserts. She seems enthusiastic and was invested in our experience. I must note that a 20% service charge is applied on all checks as gratuity automatically. Given this, the service could've been lackluster, but it was anything but. Items we ordered: Mocktails: - Dilli 6: Absolute let down. The drink was served in a highball glass and was identical to a Masala soda I could get at Kwality Ice Cream for ~$5. Unfortunately this was $12. - Anarkali: calling this a mocktail is simply misleading and inadequate. It was a subpar experience because this was more juice than anything else. I don't remember if it had pineapple in it, but if it did, that was the most overwhelming flavor profile. Also $12. Dessert: - Rasmalai: our server recommended we get this. Her description was vivid, persuasive and helpful. She explained that this was a contemporary take on a classical dessert. We enjoyed it, but once again, definitely not as much as it was priced: $25. None of the flavors in the dessert seemed unique. Given our experience with drinks and dessert, we will not be visiting again. Maybe they truly have entrees/apps that would knock our socks off, but if our current experience was any indication, I wouldn't bet on it. I will mention again, Akriti our server was extremely kind and she truly did a remarkable job. I just wish the fine dining aspect wasn't a gimmick used to up charge guests. I mean, $7 for a single naan? $35 for biryani? That's absurd. Maybe the biryani truly has something magical, but how can you justify $7 for a naan? I hope the restaurant does some introspection and overhauls the way they're curating this experience. read more
