    Dosa
    Anjali T.

    Came here on a Saturday evening for an early dinner with a friend. The ambiance was nice, beautiful tables and decor with outdoor/indoor seating and elegant gold painted, steel plates that give you an authentic experience. That was probably the highest point of the experience. TLDR at the bottom. The service is lackluster, disorganized and chaotic. It makes me very sad knowing how advanced the Indian culture and community is but, that they can't provide decent service. I had already read reviews that the service was not good but, to experience just pure chaos was shocking. I did appreciate the second server that was trying to apologize and be kind and how quickly the food came out but, despite that it overall I would not come back. These were the issues with the service: - we wanted a booth, they wouldn't let us sit where we wanted because of timings and reservations but, we had a reservation. - asked for sugar 3 times from multiple servers, since we didn't have a consistent server and did not get it till after I had to come down hard on them. - because we were waiting for sugar, chai got cold and I asked for a fresh cup of chai for my friend since it was cold because they could not give sugar and I was told they needed to ask the manager... and then I was told that the manager said no... then because I was visibly upset and shocked they brought it out...did the manager suddenly change their mind because I was an unhappy customer? - we were not checked on and we had to get people's attention to get service - other tables around us also seemed unhappy Food: I was really really excited about having some South Indian food. The gobi Manchurian was probably the only thing I enjoyed. We ordered dosa which came out cold and soggy...and then we also ordered a veg Kheema Malabar parantha, something they are known for and we were told it was out of stock. It's 5 pm team, how are we out of stock and you just opened. You are known for this! So we decided to go with the stuffed paneer instead, which at this point was just underwhelming. It was crazy to see how busy this place was and how people just want to eat anything. TLDR: I did not enjoy myself, neither did my friend. We just enjoyed each other's company. I don't blame the staff, I blame management and I will not be coming back or bringing my family here.

    Came here for a massive dosa craving and this place hit the spot. Love the presentation and the food. This place does get pretty busy but they are staffed to handle it well!

    They opened the same day as another one across the street which had over an hour wait so we got on line for simply south, and have been so amazed by the food! So much variety in the dishes, so much flavor. It's a must to try out! We've been there numerous times for dine in and take out. The ambiance depends on the time that you go, the first time we sat in the side area away from the main crow so it wasn't too loud. But then the next several times we've gone we couldn't hear each other as the slamming of the dishes as they are turning over tables for new customers. It's so popular that the waiting list is long. They do have an option to put in for a reservation ahead of time now which is more helpful then joining the waitlist when you get there.I would give it 5 stars but I'm taking one away for how loud it's been when we went most recently for a graduation brunch. The food is amazing but if they made it a little less loud, I would go back more often.

    Good traditional South Indian food and very quick service. Dosa was fresh and hot. They didn't have mango lassi but think it would be a good addition to the menu

    Naan

    Visited Simply South for the first time with friends and it was an enjoyable experience. We tried the paneer majestic and the Veg Manchurian as starters and they were both so delicious. I think I was impressed by the flavor of the Manchurian specifically. For main dishes I ordered the garlic naan and matar paneer with rice and I was super excited because that's my favorite home cooked meal, so I left feeling a bit disappointed by the lack of flavor it had. Maybe it was my fault for ordering it in mild, but it was under salted and I wish it had more depth and creaminess to the texture and that the paneer weren't cut up so small (that's just my personal preference however). The garlic naan was exquisite however, very buttery and flaky. Additionally the service could have been better; it was a weeknight and we were barely finishing up our meal and getting to go boxes before the host asked us to leave for the next guests they had waiting despite the fact that they had many empty tables around. I felt rushed and I don't think customers should ever be asked to leave after barely an hour unless there's a specifically stated time limit on your reservation. Overall I'm glad I got to try this place out.

    Chole puri

    Came in on a Sunday to enjoy a family birthday dinner, knowing the weekends get busy we made a reservation and were seated timely. The restaurant is clean and well laid out. Food is delish! Their puri and dosas are plentiful and the Chinese bhel was a favorite. Take advantage of the weekend Thali special, you get to choose between North and South Indian, we went with South and it did not disappoint. Now to why this was rated a 3. I will gladly come back to this location if service/ communication is improved. For a table of six our water jug was out of water at the start and never refilled, when we brought it to the attention of a server that brought one of our items, it was never addressed (main server was MIA entirely). Our main server had little to knowledge of menu items and navigating/ suggesting through the book of a menu. They were extremely absent and our biryani order arrived long after we were done eating. I was really looking forward to trying it. Next, it's likely the space/ construction but it gets VERY loud, all noise is amplified and our server being soft-spoken made it difficult to hear and understand. They repeated our order upon leaving so having the biryani arrive long after our huge meal calls for needed communication on preparation/ cook times. Lastly, not even half of our dishes fit on the table (5 items total) and their plates are enormous. I recommend a large table when you visit!

    South Indian thali
    Mira D.

    We visited Simply South in Irving for my birthday, and it was such a great experience! The food tasted incredibly authentic. You could tell it was the real deal just by how packed it was with Indian families. We started with the vadas as an appetizer (crispy and delicious), and for our mains: my dad ordered the giant dosa, my mom had the pongal, and I went with the thali , all flavorful and satisfying. We also tried the rasmalai cake for dessert, which was unique and really tasty! The ambiance was warm and welcoming, with plenty of parking, and I appreciated that the entire menu is vegetarian with tons of options to choose from. I'd definitely go back again, such a solid spot for South Indian food!

    Benne masala dosa, 3 in 1 uttapam
    Shiwir K.

    After my third attempt, I finally managed to get a reservation without a long wait! As usual, the place was packed and super busy. We ordered the Special Benne Masala Dosa and the 3-in-1 Uttapam. Given the constant crowds and the hype, I had very high expectations, but honestly, the taste was just okay. It's a popular spot, but for me, the flavor didn't quite live up to the wait.

    Khoa N.

    I HIGHLY recommend making a reservation to this restaurant because it gets PACKED! I don't know why? The food was just average... The Thali Meal we got was ok, I thought it needed more flavor. The Chutney was not bad. I would order it again. The two dessert drinks we got at the end was also just ok... We also got rushed out from our table after paying because they wanted to make room for the next group of guests.

    Kolee S.

    The food here is outstanding--every single dish we tried was full of flavor, perfectly cooked, and somehow better than the last. We shared several plates family-style, and honestly, we couldn't get enough. It was one of those meals where you keep saying "just one more bite" long after you're full. Fair warning: if you don't get there right when they open, expect a bit of a wait. But it's absolutely worth it. The steady crowd is a clear sign of how good this place is. Whether you're a first-timer or a regular, Simply South delivers every time. We'll definitely be back!

    I love their dosas here! Definitely recommend getting their appetizers as well. The service is good and the ambiance is a great South Indian vibe.

    Biryani
    Abhijeet N.

    One of the best places to dine if one is a vegetarian and wants to have south Indian food. Great taste, very authentic flavors. Filter coffee on point. Their Jackfruit Biryani is better than any non veg biryani any day. They also serve north Indian dishes but in those flavors are not authentic, taste is not bad but it is also not very good. Desert is their weak point on menu. comparing the variety of options they are offering in appetizers, main course desert selection is very limited. Service is great. Ambiance is very nice, well decorated.

    Joanna M.

    It was good! Very unique and authentic. We had a variety of idlys mushroom Karivepaku Benne dosa Parotta with veg kheema All of this were new things and the restaurant was pure vegetarian. They had no meat obvi and no alcohol so that was the only negative

From speed and accuracy to taste and freshness of orders, My Thai and Vegan has never disappointed. The My Thai and Vegan website makes ordering a breeze, the menu is expansive, and check-out process simple (especially if you've ordered from them before). I enjoy playing with their menu and have tried a number of offerings. My favs include their tofu basil fried rice, fresh veggie spring rolls, pad see eew, and vegan sesame "chikn" among others. I will say I tried their vegan rangoons and wasn't a fan, but it was just a matter of personal taste and not at all was My Thai and Vegan to blame. I appreciate and enjoy their custom spice levels as well as the number of add-ons/offerings/options their website offers to really make your meal your own. I have never had to wait for my to-go order to be ready and waiting for me when I arrive and pick-up has always been super speedy and simple. Service, although my interactions have been brief, has always been friendly and pleasant. Whenever work has me in the area you can bet I'll be grabbing lunch at some point from My Thai and Vegan. Looking forward to my next visit and meal.

We had seen the place on Yelp and planned to grab something quick to go, but it turned into a great stop. The location is fantastic and convenient near the airport. The hostess was welcoming right away and directed us to the bar so we could place a quick to-go order. At the bar, the bartender gave excellent service and convinced us to try a couple of tacos along with the yuca fries and plantains we originally planned to order--and I'm glad he did. The Tacos Al Carbón were outstanding: grilled fajita beef with sautéed poblano and onion on flour tortillas topped with pico de gallo and guacamole. The steak was tender and full of flavor. The beans and rice were just right, and the plantains with coconut sauce were a perfect addition. The bartender also recommended a Stone Delicious IPA, which made the short wait enjoyable. We grabbed a Tamarindo agua fresca and bolitas de yuca for the road--light, flavorful, and perfect for the drive. Great food, great service, and a great find near the airport. Definitely worth stopping in.

I haven't had vada pav sliders before but the filling is kind of like fried samosa filling without the dough. It's good. The serving size of the biryani was very impressive. You can see from the photo that they fill the container and then add another mound of rice on top of that - basically 2 servings (we took one home). And they didn't skimp on the chicken either! The chicken is cooked perfectly, the sauces are a great complement and this is an excellent dish. The Lunch Thali gives you a lot of bang for your buck and mine included ~5 pieces of fish fry, about the same amount of veg pakora, yogurt dip, chicken curry with rice, 2 different soups, a naan/tortilla thing, and a carrot dessert (like a halwa). All had good flavor and the soups have a nice spicy kick to them. However, since all the dishes for the thali come off the lunch line (ie all premade), the tortilla, fish and pakoras had been sitting out for awhile and not too hot. Had they come out fresh from the fryer, I might have given this experience 5 stars. As it stands, I'll probably be back for lunch anyways - and the thali is available 7 days a week!

I got a side of lays original chips which isn't bad but I'm just not a fan of lays original. I wish they offered a choice of a side or even just a selection of other chips. Nothing too big though. My favorite was the cheese katori. It's like their version of deviled eggs and all for it. It packed so much flavor and if I could I would eat like 4 orders of them haha. The only reason I give this place a 4/5 was the cleanliness. The place was still very nice and clean but the table we sat on still had minor faint stains on it. Even checking other tables, I saw the same. There was also just some food here and there on the ground but nothing too alarming. The service was great and no other complaints. Overall great place to go and a bonus is they're opened 7 days a week and till late.
