I used to come to this place as a small child. This family run business has been around for almost 25 years and for a while, was the only place you could get halal South Asian food in the entire metroplex it seems. Wonderful owners, delicious food. I'm so sad to see this place go. Just know that they had an impact on the community and we loved them so much. read more

A yummy surprise this far north of Dallas! The chicken tikka masala was flavorful, and absolutely satisfying. The samosas were equally delicious, and the portions were generous. Come hungry! Thank you, Silver Spoon, for such a tasty find in Allen, TX. read more

Got there at 11am, time for the restaurant to open. The two women inside saw me but ignored me and went inside the kitchen and shut that door. Well, if your service is so poor, I'm not sure I'd want to taste your food. read more

I ordered the tikka masala spicy. I think it was pretty good but not spicy enough, there was a little bit too much tomato in my opinion. Portions were generous. Service was excellent and the man in the front was very friendly and attentive. The restaurant itself was a little cozy but everyone is friendly. read more

Silver Spoon Restaurant - Tikka Masala - Indian Near Me - Allen, Texas

The food is always great. Big portions...two can split. I come here frequently for my Indian food fix. I usually get chicken tikka masala and Palek paneer (spinach dish). We are always satisfied. read more

Silver Spoon has incredible food, this is my go to spot in Allen for great Indian Food. The place is located in a small strip mall on McDermott, and you barely notice the place unless you're looking for it. When you walk in, you first face the register. You can order at the register, or take a menu to your table and peruse for a bit. The place is not fancy, you're not going to have a 5 star server handing your food on a silver platter, but what you will have is great food made to order and probably leftovers when you're done. I order the Chicken Tikka Masala typically, then I add a side of of Daal just to because its so flavorful. I've ordered both in house and to-go, and both are equally wonderful. You are not rushed as you enjoy your meal in the quiet restaurant atmosphere, and the calm music in the background is great as you enjoy your meal. I will continue to dine here, it's a great place to have in Allen, and I'm happy to patronize this establishment. read more

The food was mediocre at best and served on plastic plates. The restaurant itself is pretty dirty and unappealing. They advertise a $5.99 menu, but mention in small letters that rice and bread are extra--once you add those, your total jumps to over $12, which is the normal price elsewhere. Not a great value or dining experience. read more

Food is amazing every time , friendly atmosphere and good chai. Been here several times.

I placed an order to go online for the Goat Special 1/2 Goat Biryani 1/2 Goat Qorma, Tandoori Chicken Leg and a Qtr Flan, and 1 Full Naan which I upgraded to garlic. If you put in the description of your vehicle they will bring your order out to your car. I really had high hopes for this restaurant however the flavors just didn't hit the mark for me, coming from the Bay Area I have had my fair share of Indian food. The dishes were good don't get me wrong but didn't have my taste buds singing at all. I may give them another try, and sample something different. read more

I stopped getting the gyro sandwitches, because when my youngest son opened up his sandwitch he found a dead fly in it. At first we thought it might have just been a simple accident, but the second time there was a long strand of hair again in my youngest sons sandwitch. The quality and the taste has also gotten bad. read more

Silver Spoon Restaurant - Food From Sliver Spoon - Indian Near Me - Allen, Texas

First time customer and left underwhelmed unfortunately. It is a small family owned restaurant it looks like. Everyone was friendly, no issues with the service. We ordered beef and veggie samosas, butter chicken, white rice, naan, and garlic naan. The rice and naans were the best part of our meals. Unfortunately both samosas were not good. The veggie was stuffed with peas and carrots, no flavor. Typically it has potato as well with spices but not here. The beef samosas were also lacking flavor (they are small also). The chutnees were also not great, the white one didn't really taste like anything which was very disappointing. The chicken tikka masala (butter chicken) was tomato based with no cream and we only counted 7 pieces of chicken. Overall disappointed with our meal here, we spent over $30 and still hungry. read more

How have I not been here in the 3 years I've lived in the area???? This place is absolutely incredible. Family owned for 30+ years and you can tell they are doing things the right way here. We started off with the beef samosas and then moved on to some classic Pakistani dishes such as the Goat Karahi & Beef Nihari. We also tried the chicken combo which comes with includes a good amount of their fragrant chicken biryani, a piece of tandoori chicken, chicken korma, naan and a dessert. Everything was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. Quantities are just the right size (some may complain it's too small ugh! stop). You also have to love that they have a "pay it forward" board. Do a good deed while you have a great meal. What's not to love??? read more

Amazing food. Its always served fresh and the service is great. Im so glad i live so close to this place because its just so great, especially the ambiance. read more

My fav Tikka Masala in DFW. There's one other place I love but it doesn't have the same local vibe that Silver Spoon does. When you're here you feel like you've found a well-kept secret. Everything here is great. You can't miss. The owners/staff are always so kind. Service is friendly and prompt and if you have any questions they'll patiently answer them all to make sure you get what you're looking for. It's been a while since I've dined in here, I typically pick it up otw home. So I'll have to go back soon and get some good pics of the food. It worth the drive though! Even if it doesn't end up being your fav you won't regret the trip. read more

Silver Spoon Restaurant - the front of the restaurant - Indian Near Me - Allen, Texas

Since learning I have a gluten intolerance, I have really missed samosas and was THRILLED Silver Spoon Restaurant had gluten free samosas. We drove around 40 minutes to get these and they were delicious!! We also got veggie biryani, chicken tikka masala, mango lassi, and gulab jamon. Everything was phenomenal! They were incredibly nice and friendly when we arrived to pick up our food. We will absolutely go back!! read more

Silver Spoon Restaurant - Butter chicken( I ordered 2 for myself it's that good) - Indian Near Me - Allen, Texas

Love this place ..love love love,great food and very hospitable.service is grand,love the owners.Nice quiet environment.

Wow, I was really excited to try this place as I had a hankering for Indian food! I have to say this is my new favorite local restaurant. A bit off the beaten path but well worth the trip. I have a feeling we will be regulars here... First off, ordering our food was super simple. If you're not sure what you want but have an idea, the owner will help you! I love that we can choose if we want rice or naan with our dishes. Both were perfect (esp if you can't quite take the heat!) We wanted maybe 10 minutes for the food to come out but when it arrives... the aroma and presentation!!!! We dove into the food. It was flavorful, in many levels and you get full pretty quickly. You know you need to stop eating but you almost can't?! We ordered the vegetable palak(?), Chick pea dish, Daal Fry or lentil dish. It was plenty for the four of us. We'll have to come back next time and try the lamb or chicken dishes. read more

This place was fantastic before the pandemic, lately, it's a hit or a miss. More misses than hits. Ownership is super nice people. The restaurant needs to expand a bit to see more and furniture needs to change. Food is not 5 or 4 star but it is still very decent. Yes, hands down a decent representation of Pakistani food, not authentic but decent and affordable. I would love to see it updated with a bigger place more seating and a bathroom not facing the dining room. There is a lot of skimping of utensils and that should change too. It is our go-to place when all else fails. read more

I ordered a tikka masala but received chicken with tomato sauce. There is absolutely no spice added to this dish to make it a tikka. Based on my photo, you can see how the sauce is not creamy whatsoever and looks almost like tomato sauce from a can. I have never tasted any Indian food so bad before. Don't waste your money here. Cutting corners is not going to help your business. I feel like even frozen Trader Joe's tikka is better quality, I would recommend getting that instead. read more

Silver Spoon Restaurant - Indian Near Me - Allen, Texas

Do not go here. I've been here before and it was just okay, overpriced but decent quality for this area, but tonight we ordered from there because two other Indian places we prefer didn't answer the phone. The guy who took my order gave us the wrong order, and gave us vegetables instead of rice, and while I love vegetables I would have liked the rice I paid for. Then he proceeded to argue with me and tell me I ordered wrong and I didn't, my husband and kids were sitting there while I ordered the food, after they finlly answered the phone, and when I pointed out the mistake he laughed at me on the phone, so bottom line, I'll stick with Coconut Hill as long as they stay open, Silver Spoon is terrible. EDIT: the guy on the phone who laughed at me gave my husband free rice and $10 in cash and apologized. I am still never, ever going back there, though, and you shouldn't either. read more

I had given up on finding a delicious Indian/Pakistani restaurant when I left Taiwan. The sheer nerve of me to have stopped looking! DFW is coming up and into the spotlight with this hidden gem. My friend invited me to check out this place just on a whim. We did and now we LOVE it! I had the chicken tikka masala with rice and naan. It was everything that I was expecting my tastebuds to enjoy! Shall we press on... Customer service was spot on! Everyone that follows me on all my food reviews KNOWS how much customer service is to me! The gentleman that reminds me of Common the rapper, was beyond helpful, and kind. He was neatly dressed as well. (Whispers-I need that outfit)The owner was SUPER nice and inviting. They didn't mind me asking for a photo. The restaurant was cute and small. Nicely decorated and just the right lighting. Oh, before I forget. You also get a 10% discount when you check in!!! Use it! Whenever you can save a coin or two. DO IT! The ONLY negative I have about the restaurant is the chairs. That have an awful screech when you scoot forward to the table. If there are some rubber caps to fix that terrible sound... that'd be excellent! It's like scratches on a chalkboard. read more

Authentic! I've gone to India once, and this location brings back memories of my time there. Both the chicken combination and the chicken tikka masala are outstanding. Both the shawarma and the biryani will astound you. Oh my, I highly suggest trying their various delicacies! I keep returning here and have already made numerous attempts! Fortunately, Thy never lets you down. I tried the takeout and delivery options offered by this establishment. There are several serious drawbacks to meal delivery, such as the fact that it will arrive cold even though you can reheat it, and that occasionally the food will be spoiled. Well, this is a typical delivery issue. I recommend dining there so that you can really experience the atmosphere, and I'm sure you'll enjoy the service! read more

We've loved our meal each time we've been there, and are looking forward to our next; the owner is very friendly and helpful, made food suggestions to us the first time we went in--and he was right on the money. Great place. read more

Been wanting to come here. Finally made it for lunch. My friend and I ordered a little bit of everything! The food was delicious! So fresh and steaming hot! My least favorite was the corn soup, it wasn't bad... just wasn't for me. The best was the trout, I literally could eat that until I'm sick! Hahaha! The nice hint of spice in the seasoning with the lemon drizzled on top just brought all those flavors together. You can never go wrong with the tikka masala and the veggie samosas were pretty tasty! The beef dish was amazing full of lots of flavor. Definitely left satisfied and full! read more

The chicken tikka masala was pretty good. The naan was absolutely fantastic although I would've preferred to pieces, the one large piece of naan was fantastic. As I mentioned. It was very mild though. Even though I asked for a medium spice it was extremely mild. And not just mild spicy wise, but even mild in flavor meaning a little low on overall flavor. I don't know... Perhaps some more yogurt or some salt to kick it up a bit? I really can't complain though and you'll see I gave it four stars. So this sounds pretty picky and it probably is. I just love my chicken tikka masala with a stronger overall flavor. read more

Ok so let me tell you about the goodness of this ruby in the rough. My first time trying them out. I did some research first on what Nihari with choice of meat was. Based on the flavor profile and the passion that goes into it I was down to try it. Plus I am somewhat of a chef and I know what good ingredients look like. The kind gentleman on the phone was friendly and he also helped me make my decision. Ooooommmmmmmggggg!!! When I picked up my order to go I could already smell the intoxicating aroma coming from my bag. I got Nihari chicken, basmati rice, paratha and vegetable samosas. First the Nihari chicken it was so good. I loved the cilantro, fresh ginger and lime mix that you add into it. The added ingredients really made it pop. The chicken was so tender it melted in my mouth. The rice was not just boring rice. It was seasoned and had cilantro in it. This was another sign of the passion in the meal. The chef probably also added a little lime. The paratha was so buttery and flakey and good. I ate and dipped with my hands using the paratha. The vegetable samosa... now these are above all the ones I have ever tasted. They are spot on with flavor. They are crunchy and you can identify every vegetable... the peas, the carrots I mean it was soo tasty. Once I took my first bite I had to call up to the spoon just to tell them personally how good the food is. Man oh man..... that food touched my soul. I can't wait to try more of it. This is my spot. Please go try it, you will thank me later and your tummy will be so pleased. Support small business. read more

Been here a few times. Seemed different each time. What I can say is the chicken tikka was very soupy which was average at best.

Food was good . Old man was not nice but it's okay as long as the food was decent . Atmosphere lacking

I'm town for business and I like to rely on yelp for recommendations. The menu had some items I hadn't seen before on an Indian menu but that wasn't an issue. Qazi was Behring the counter and helped explain what everything was. I went with the chicken combo plate since it offered a variety. It included the Chicken Biryani, Chicken Qorma and Tandoori Chicken. The biryani was regular chicken served over rice. The qorma seemed like the same chicken as biryani but it was served in a spiced sauce that had good flavor but was very mild as for as heat goes. The tandoori was served over the biryani. The tandoori has a small amount a heat and good flavor. The plate came with a light white sauce. I'm not sure what the sauce was but I don't think it was dairy/mayo based. There was also a side of flan. I asked Qazi about the dessert after I finished and he said there was no egg in it. I told him I was expecting the dish to have a little more heat and he explained that he tried to cater to the local community and spicy food isn't usually what people are looking for. He did say that next time I'm there to let him know and he'll direct me towards the items on the menu with a little more spice. read more

Dine in or take out, the food always tastes great. The owner, his family, and his employees are very nice.

We absolutely love Indian food and like to try new restaurants regularly. We intended on visiting our go to, Spice Creations, across the street but they're closed on Mondays. We ordered the Chicken Tikka Massala, Vindaloo, a veggie dish, rice and Naan. The Naan was great, the highlight of the meal. From there it went downward. The Massala tasted like straight tomato sauce with a little heat. It was the absolute worst Tikka I've ever had. The Vindaloo was pretty good but a bit salty. I asked for it spicy and they did well in this regard. The veggie dish (sorry I can't recall name) was bland and soupy. I am a carnivore at heart but love Indian veggie plates. This really missed the mark. The rice was really wet and didn't have the aromatics I typically get with white rice; clove, cinnamon, cardamom, etc. Total bill was $47 and I left feeling like I just paid for one of the worst Indian meals I've ever had. It just felt... like I was eating a very American version of Indian food. I really don't like to to be so harsh on local businesses but i just can't recommend this place to anyone. read more

My husband and I were looking for a halal option in Allen TX and came across Silver Spoon restaurant. It had decent reviews and seemed highly rated, and frankly it was the only zabiha halal restaurant within miles of Allen so we decided to try it. The restaurant is small and cozy but the ambiance is great. They had an excellent instrumental playlist going which really set the mood of the restaurant. The restaurant is family owned and i could see the family members running the cash register and in/out of the kitchen and they all were super friendly and hospitable, asking us if we needed anything etc. The food is OK - I wasn't a huge fan of the BBQ, but the Fish biryani was unique and interesting, the bihari boti was pretty good and the garlic naan was fresh hot and delicious. Everything lacked a little spice , but I'm unsurprised cause there are quite a few non-Indians/Pakistani's who also seem to eat at Silver Spoon and I'm sure not everyone has a strong spice tolerance. Overall the owners are very friendly and this establishment is definitely worth checking out if you are looking for a halal restaurant or establishment in Allen, TX! read more
