martini with lime vs lemon
Aruni G.

I was in Dallas visiting friends in mid-July and they took me to eat at The Yellow Chilli in Plano. I'd actually been there once before with them. It was surprisingly empty when we went but the food was again delicious! There were only two people working that day and only one bartender and there seemed to be a disconnect between the person taking our orders and preparing the drinks. I had asked for a dry gin martini with a lemon twist but first got a dirty one (with olive juice) so I sent it back and then they brought me one with a lime, which was actually nice so I drank it. They were pleasant and fixed it quickly. The second one they made with a lemon twist. We ordered a variety of dishes that we shared and unfortunately I can't remember the names of them anymore, but we will probably go back there again the next time I visit them!

Butter paneer!! Best Ive had in a long time!

Food was delicious!! Atmosphere was very nice, business casual. Felt cozy authentic. Some of the best Indian food we have had.

Don't be fooled by the pictures--the camera did a good job. Not sure where to begin. I've never been to a restaurant where you don't even know who your server is until it's time to pay the bill. The service was absolutely terrible. As for the ambiance, there's really nothing worth mentioning except for one nice wall painting of a woman. The food was overloaded with masala and lacked anything memorable--biryani was so bad- though the dessert was surprisingly good.

Poopy

Minus the poopy seeds, the food was great and full of flavor. The heat was real the real deal and definitely will return. Hopefully by then they edit their menu so my daughter doesn't stop laughing and pointing it out when we go.

Oh finally there is a decent restaurant in Dallas that serves good Indian food! I think I haven't had this good Indian food at a restaurant for a while now! The service is good as well! And I like the drinks menu, particularly

Enjoyed a delicious lunch at The Yellow Chilli. We tried the butter chicken, Pudina Murgh Tikka, and murgh bhuna masala and butter naan. The naan was very tasty and you could eat it by itself. The chicken dishes were also flavorful. Definitely recommend if you are in the area. Cute little spot, service was okay.

Not sure what the hype is about.... Visiting from out of state on a business trip, stopped by for dinner on a week day. We ordered a few drinks and entrees. We tried adraki paneer, mix veggies and dal tadka dhaaba with mixed naan basket. Everything was Ok. Nothing memorable. The 3 stars are for a decent drink....i tried the skullbreaker. Service was ok. Ambience is forgettable. For someone who likes Sanjeev Kapoor for his recipes & his shows, this didnt match up the hype.

I love experiencing Indian fine dining. Going to Jashan has been on our list for some time…read more We came on a Saturday evening for an 8 pm reservation and were seated promptly. The ambiance itself is beautiful. The restaurant was not very busy, which was actually pretty surprising for a spot that I thought would be a hot spot. We were promptly seated, but the service was a little slow this evening. We did let our waitress know about that. She mentioned that she got caught up at a couple of tables. We started with some cocktails, and they were quite tasty. The presentation definitely has some hype, including the usual smoking and unvailing the smoked drink at the table. All the food was delicious except for the veggie kebabs. They tasted a little doughy and uncooked on the inside. We actually ended up sending them back, and they were really nice about the whole situation. I did think a restaurant like this could have gone over the top to make that situation better, and they did not. Which is fine. We also got the chicken appetizer as well as the paneer tikka. Those appetizers were unpointed delicious. The paneer was a little softer than I was expecting, but the flavor was delicious. For entrees, we got one of the chicken curries as well as one of the mutton curry-type dishes. And we also got some naan. All the food was delicious and super flavorful. It was my partner's birthday, and they brought out a nice little surprise chocolate cake for her. Less as well. That was also super tasty. Our bill for the two of us came out to about $400, which we have no problem paying, and I hate being one of those people complaining about fine dining prices. I do think for that price point, the service could be a little better, and they could take extra special care of their guests. Again, I do hope more of these Indian fine dining establishments make it to the DFW area!

Great presentations of the dishes and as much as they are style, they are substance! I loved the vegetarian version of their kabab and also the chaat. The truffle mushroom- great texture, tasted okay. The mains were good. saag, khatti dal, yumm! Drinks, although the saffron one and the old fashioned on the sweeter side, are decent. I would suggest the filter coffee espresso martini, it tasted really good! The service made sure our plates were filled haha! Over all, I will go here again!

We will definitely be using them again!

The restaurant itself is casual, but the interior is really cute and inviting, with happy music playing in the background that adds to the upbeat atmosphere. This is a walk-up-and-order type of restaurant, and they bring your food out to you when it's ready. I found the service to be exceptionally friendly, informative, and still very professional. When I ordered the tandoori chicken, they let me know it would take about 15-20 minutes. Honestly, I had no problem waiting--I'd much rather wait a little longer and have my food freshly cooked! The tandoori chicken comes with mint chutney and sliced onions, along with half a chicken. I also ordered an additional side of their cilantro chutney, and let me tell you... so, so good! The chicken was incredibly moist, packed with flavor, and cooked beautifully. I was also happy that the heat level was very low. You get all that wonderful flavor without the heat overpowering the dish. At only $12.99, the portion, quality, and flavor make this dish an excellent value. This was my first visit, but based on the food and the menu, it definitely won't be my last. Next time I'm in the area, I'll be trying a different dish because their menu has quite a few things that caught my eye. If you're looking for flavorful Indian food in a casual, welcoming setting, O'Desi Aroma is definitely worth checking out!

Overall Rating: 9 out of 10…read more This was my first time here. We sort of went here on a whim. My Dad wanted to eat Dosa and after looking at the reviews of this restaurant on @yelp we decided to give this place a try. Let's just say the food and the restaurant @maduraimesplano was a pleasant surprise! Atmosphere: we went there at around 1 pm on a Sunday, which is not really lunch time for most Desis, so we didn't see many people at the restaurant when we walked in. It got a little busier when we were about to leave after our meal. Rating: 8 out of 10 Food: we ordered two items and both items were a hit. Some Desi restaurants refuse to tone down the spice level, even if you request them to do so. This place however toned down the spice level for my Dad and I to be able to fully enjoy our food. What we ordered: - Plain Dosa with Mutton Curry: this was my Dad's first time eating Dosa and let's just say he almost hoovered it down. The Dosa was perfectly crispy, the Mutton Curry was flavorful, the meat was tender and juicy, and the chutneys were a perfect pairing for the crispy dosa. - Ambur Chicken Biryani : perfectly spiced, the chicken was tender, portion size was huge (enough to easily feed two people) Rating: 10 out of 10 Customer Service: they were very nice and checked up on us regularly without being a pest. Can't fault their service. Rating: 9 out of 10

The woman informed us there are no snacks/appetizers served during lunch. We ordered samosas, two entrees and two naan for two adults and two growing boys (ages 7 and 11) and it was enough food. They even gave us paper plates for sharing without asking which was nice.

Washing hands at an Indian restaurant is common specialty since many meals are eaten by hand…read moreinstead of utensils. So to wash my hands I visited the bathroom located inside the store. I have to warn fellow ladies under no circumstances to use the bathroom in this location for two reasons: The bathroom has multiple stalls but is not marked for either gender, and the main door can't be locked from inside making it accessible for male and female individuals at the same time. What I noticed in one of the stalls was a sensor flush that was completely out of the wall with wires exposed but still connected, yet the button did nothing and conveniently the unit was placed in a way facing the toilet bowl. An exposed electronic unit like that can be tampered with by any individual specially if the bathroom is accessible by both male and female. You can guess the rest of it yourself. Back to the kitchen, I had ordered paneer biryani along with Irani chai, before using the bathroom, the food took about 30 minutes to arrive, and I was served Pulao instead of Biryani. Even after asking the staff, they firmly said no that's Biryani. If you are non-Indian and don't want your intelligence to be insulted do not visit this restaurant. Once I received my food one of the staff told me the chai will arrive in 2 minutes. Well you guessed it right, I never got my chai. Even though the restaurant is open until 11:30 pm, the staff stop serving chai somewhere between 10-10:30 and even though they had an order in place, they failed to communicate effectively to deliver what was on the order. I finished eating and before leaving I wanted to wash my hand but since the store closes an hour before the restaurant, the bathroom is inaccessible and there's no hand washing station in the restaurant itself, so I used the only two pieces of napkin that were available in the restaurant. Food was tasty but wasn't what I ordered, over all the experience in general was so bad I wouldn't return, nor would recommend this place to anyone.
