Vishnuji is the only authentic marathi restaurant we have in DFW area. Marathi food comes from the state of Maharshtra. Most of the Indian restaurants common in US cater to North Indian or South Indian cuisine. This is as authentic as it gets. The food simply takes me back home with fresh ingredients and unique culture dishes. Misal Pav is hands down my favorite here which is pulses curry with fried noodles served with side of bread. If you enjoy spicy this is a must have. They have several amazing deserts as well such as srikhand and puran poli, freshly made in-house. Thalipeeth could be improved as the day we got it was little dry. They have lunch buffet every weekend where you can try each of these dishes. The service is quick and easy. Ambiance is nothing fancy but more authentic similar to homes in Maharashtra. If you want to expand your palate on Indian cuisine this place is a must try. read more

home-cooked flavor and huge portions for the price- definitely recommend for anyone looking for a authentic and specialized focus on regional cuisine read more

We had the misal pav, kothimbir vada, saoji paneer, pithla (w bakhri) and thalipath. Each one of them tasted outstanding and reminded us of India. I am definitely brining my Jijaji who is from Nagpur here when they visit, I am sure he will love it. Staff is extremely polite and helpful. read more

If you have never had Maharashtrian food,you ar ein for a treat. If you already know about it, this is the place to go! We absolutely love the quality of their food, the overall service level and the general vibe of this restaurant! I love their Sabudana Khichdi, Kothimbir Wadi, Misal Pav, Wada Pav!!! My wife who is more pickier than me when it comes to Indian food (as I tease her that she grew up without the spices and colors in the Midwest haha) also finds a lot of things to her liking! She always gets the Varan Bhaat, if you want something very low spicy for someone! read more

This place was pretty busy on a Friday evening for dinner, so it seems like people enjoy it. However nothing really impressed me. The food was alright, the servers were nice, decor was good and overall a so-so place. It's a simple concept w traditional dishes, but nothing really scream's amazing. read more

Delicious crunchy Kothimbir Wadi and Sabudana Wada! Loved the buttermilk and chat too! The Maharashtrian curries are very tasty, and spicy! If you like your food milder, do not forget to mention it to the server. Service was good, food was quickly served. The look of the restaurant can be improved. Ambiance is very simple and unassuming. read more

I tried the Lunch Buffett at this restaurant on a Sunday afternoon. This place is purely vegetarian and is affiliated with the famous chef - 'Vishnu Manohar'. This restaurant famously serves 'Maharashtrian food cooked home style with healthy ingredients'. Let me be frank with you guys, I just avoid going to places that are purely vegetarian because you never know what you'll end up getting, sometimes the food is sweet, sometimes the greens that they offer are not a part of your diet or maybe they don't have enough options for you to get excited about. So, when my friends suggested this place, I was a bit skeptical, to say the least. This restaurant just blew me away. Let's talk about food; they had a couple of fried appetizers (mix pakora and palak pakora) Dal, rice, a few entrees (Chloe, aloo-bhindi and cabbage) and a couple of deserts (Gulab Jamun and Mango phirni) along with papad and soup. I never got the chance to try the soup but my god the rest of the food was delicious. The aloo-bhindi was the star of the afternoon. It was authentic Maharashtrian tasting and the potatoes were so soft it would just melt in our mouths. Dal had the home style flavor and tasted excellent with rice and Chloe. Over to the deserts section, Gulab Jamun was typical and nothing fancy, but the mango phirni was just unbelievable. Papad was ok, I mean it's papad, what more do you expect? For $15, this Buffett was an absolute steal. The soul of Maharashtra can be felt after tasting the food here. I wanted to try the much talked about Misal-Pav but I was told they don't serve that during lunch Buffett which was a bummer. Not everything on the menu would be called cheap but it's reasonable. There are times in your life living outside of your home town that you wish for some 'Ghar ka Khana' (home cooked food) and this place just hits you with nostalgia. It's almost an exact replica of what you would get, food wise at least, in Mumbai, Maharashtra. The authentic Dal with rice, the bhendi sabji paired with soft, home cooked style roti and the Chloe would just remind you of home. The lunch Buffett was extremely satisfying and kept us full for the rest of the evening (quite literally). Do give this place a visit if you're in the mood to give Maharashtrian food a try. read more

Went in for a weekend buffet. Good spread of mostly Maharashtrian dishes with a few "North Indian Dishes". I focused on the Maharashtrian items and really enjoyed the simple but flavorful vegetables. I had, Saoji Vegetables, Cauliflower, Potato and the Daal. All had great flavors and cooked well. The Kothimbir Wadi and the Medu Vada were good too. The variety of chutneys was impressive and so were the desserts. My favorite of the Jalebi, Shrikhand, and Carrot Halwa was the Jalebi. I believe I make a better Shrikhand. They had Pulao, White Rice, Poori, and Chapati. My least favorite was the Poori. It was way too thick. Overall a good spread though not overwhelming and value for money if you have a good appetite. My wife and I unfortunately do not. read more

Having lived in Mumbai for 21 years, Maharashtrian food is very close to my heart and this restaurant did complete justice to it. This restaurant is owned by a famous chef in India. I would highly suggest trying Kothambir wadi (coriander is the key ingredient), sabudana vada (tapioca), vada pav, misal pav and thali peeth. We've also tried other dishes like pitla bhakar and they taste good as well. In terms of the food and taste, this restaurant has been consistent. Now, people would argue but you can definitely try it once (don't completely rely on the bad star ratings that the restaurant has got). Now, the service is a little slow because they are short staffed and in these difficult times I believe to support local restaurants. I highly recommend the food here, plus reasonable prices. You got a good deal read more

Visited this restaurant on a Sunday for lunch and was extremely pleased with my food and overall experience. The Sunday lunch was $13.99 from 11:30 to 2:30 and it was a vegetarian buffet that consisted of simple Maharashtrian food that was filled with flavor yet felt light and healthy! The menu had a lot of variety in terms of small bites, various Subjis (curries), and a pleasant surprise of roti's as opposed to naan's. This was a pleasant lunch experience that I will definitely remember when I visit again! read more

Went in for the name this place holds for people from Maharashtra back home. Certainly not up to mark. Food quality has gone down over past couple of years. Their kothimbir wadi and saoji uses to be good. Now, will not make mistake of recommending a friend. One of my good friends catered her wedding from this place, horrible service. read more

Namaste We were at VKR to eat buffet. The variety of dishes was incredible. Fantastic tasting too. Also they had Poori in the buffet. The pakoras were awesome. Bindi do pyaaza melted my heart. It had the right amount of spices. Kadi was wonderful. I enjoyed Cauliflower soup also. The vegetarian food was so good that it could have given famous Indian restaurants in India stiff competition. I ate a lot. But when I saw Shrikand there, the food in my stomach gave way for the Royal sweet dish. The most important thing, I saw many people doing service there. Not 1was looking at their mobile device. I admire the dedication and commitment to the customers. Hearty congratulations. Best wishes for continued success. read more

Vishnuji Ki Rasoi - Shri Ganesha with children - Vegetarian Near Me - Allen, Texas

Something has changed at this place. All of our favorite dishes were way off from what we remember eating here regularly. I've spoke to someone at front and asked to see if Chef is on leave or something, at first they refused and when I complained about food test they said yes about chef changed. They should have just explained me proper reason so we can return back; now with this kind of response and food tasting we are afraid to return back specially my kid who loves some of their dishes. Update : Later I saw someone else had similar issue with Palak paneer which my kid eats here since they opened and always enjoyed it. Today we had to force him to eat it that's how bad it was. read more

Was our first time here, as we wanted to go off the beaten track and try something new. Hard heard about this place on Funasia Radio, and since we lived in Maharashtra for about 5 years, wanted to reminisce the old days. The staff are super courteous, and the interiors have been decked really well, and the finish on the walls was like in the village walls, a nice touch. We went crazy on the appetizers first: Kothimbir Vada: small green fried cubes with a good coriander flavor and has a nice crunchy bite to it, complemented well by Coriander chutney. Misal Pav: this one really was assembled well, and was as close to local Mumbai and Pune flavors as you can get here. The misal had great spunk, and flavor. Thoroughly enjoyed. Saboodana Kichdi: this was as authentic as you can get. I used to share my Marathi colleagues lunch boxes and the kichdi here was as close to home made as you can get. We asked for some fired chilies to complement the kichdi. Definitely do try this. To close the dinner, we chose to try the Thali Peeth and Poori Shrikhand. Both were authentic flavors and were very tasty. Overall the place is super cozy, nice responsive staff, and prices are very reasonable . For all the items we ate, our total bill with a 20% tip was $40+, which we didn't feel was too bad. This experience has made us want to go for the weekend buffet next . read more

Decided to try this place inspite of all the reviews. Dined in on a sunday with some friends, they had buffet and we were looking forward to a Maharastrian cuisine spread. The food was like any other buffet, with some soup and regular appetizers like pakodas and aloo bonda, with roti and 3 curries. They also had a seasoned rice which was just bad, oily and tasteless. We didnt get to try the desserts The appetizers were decent, some over salted and roti was good, the only highlight of the lunch was the lemon coriander soup. When we went back to the buffet line the second time, all the appetizers were gone and didnt get refilled anytime soon. It would have been good if they had some maharastrian specials on the buffet. Mr Vishnu was also at the restaurant, we saw him in passing Worth a try but nothing special read more

A new restaurant in town and stopped in for lunch with bunch of friends. The seating was quick and the menu had loads of things. It's basically a Maharashtra cuisine, vegetarian and gluten free friendly menu. We ordered few dishes from the menu, loved the desserts. The rasmalai was ultimately soft and had the perfect sweetness. I guess because it's a new venture they need some time on improvements. The service was a bit slow and also the food orders came out a lot late. Simple ambience and delicious food. The service could get better over a period. read more

Vishnuji Ki Rasoi is one very unique Indian restaurant in the metroplex. Unlike others who primarily are based on South Indian food (dosa, idli etc.) or North Indian food (tandoori, paneer, chicken tikka masala etc.), it's food is based on the central region of India (named Maharashtra). You will still find those North/South Indian foods on the menu but those are really not why you eat here. Also this is a vegetarian restaurant. We ordered Vada Pav (potato fritter in a roll, with chutneys on the side), Schezuan noodles and a traditional dish of Maharashtra named pithla bhakri. That is really a flatbread made of a regional millet alongside a saucy, gram flour based curry. One thing to add - traditional Maharashtra food is spicy and this restaurant does justice to that. Each dish is by default pretty spicy, and is served with ground chilies on the side. Each of these dishes was exceptional and had a unique flavor that you cannot find anywhere else. The place is pretty basic (paper plates etc) but really delivers on the flavor for the most part. After a filling, spicy meal nothing better to round off the meal than srikhand (hung yoghurt with sugar, cardamom and saffron). Again the taste and flavor was perfect. The service was a bit slow since we went around lunch but we were out in an hour. The decor and ambiance reminds you of rural Maharashtra - from the texture on the walls to the paintings to the decor when you enter. Took me on a journey down memory lane back to India 30+ years ago. We will definitely be back! read more

The worst palak paneer I have ever had. The raw onion was still crunchy and there was no cream or cashew cream to thin. So it was just this dark green mush with chunky raw onion. Even pieces of the tomato were still whole and crunchy. I'm very disappointed and I will not be back. Edit: when I got home I fixed it and it was good, just needed to let it stew for 20 mins longer to soften the vegetable and blend. read more

Love their food here. We've had food here a few times and tried khotimbir vadi, stuffed paneer pakora. Pitla bhaker, patvadi rassa, paneer butter masala, pulkas, and veg biryani. The highlight definitely are the maharastrian dishes. We dined in once and it was definitely taking a little longer, but I will attribute that to the good taste. We will definitely be back! read more

Always happy about the food here, happy and easy on the tummy. First time trying paneer pasanda and it was a good one read more

We used to go there often. Food quality went down sharply down from the first time to the last. We still gave it a couple of more tries. They used plastic containers to store hot daal. Their vegetables often seemed either watery or very oily and lacked taste too. When showed the excessive amount of oil floating in paneer to the owner and noted that it's not healthy, he said this is how people like it. The Nice part is it's vegetarian, but, the quality didnt make it for worth it for us. read more

They have to up the game, they have increased the prices and reduced the quantity, this will not work and they will not be able to sustain, the buffet has very few items for the price paid, I never went back again, maharashtrian/mumbai ppl may feel a nostalgic to visit for their native food but for the rest of us it is not enough. The service is too slow, and they are not even paid the tips we give, which is so unfair, what else will motivate the waiters to do better? read more

I don't know , how people are giving 5 stars for this restaurant?? The buffet is too simple than the food we eat at home. Also not many options or items in buffet. And they charge 15$ for buffet on weekday. It was a date with my husband after this long pandemic and we were fully disappointed to see. Anyways it is a lesson learnt to check menu before we eat. I would give less than a star for their menu. read more

Pleasantly surprised !! Not many restaurants serve "Maharashtrian" cuisine(State in India) so this is a nice change. We had the thalipeeth, kothimbir wadi, gola bhaat kadi, zunka bhakari and puranpoli. The zunka was so authentic and well paired with jowar bhakari. And complementary tomato soup too. Puran poli could be made better. But overall worth the visit. Keep it up. read more

We had a terrible experience with the service at this place tonight where we waited 2hrs to get our order. We ordered takeaway at 6:15pm & reached the restaurant 20 mins later. The lady at the front desk asked us to wait since the order wasn't ready. After waiting about 30 mins or so, when inquired again, she found out that the kitchen doesn't even have the order details. So by 7:20pm we came out and waited outside after informing the front desk lady to inform us when the order is ready since they have delivered food outside to other people. We still didn't get our food by 8pm. We were truly furious by then, and did show our displeasure at the front desk employee who then directed us to another person while she went inside the kitchen and we could hear her screaming at some employee or maybe cursing at us. The guy working there was atleast a bit courteous and did offer a refund. We finally got our food at around 8.10pm. Don't really like leaving a bad review but this was one of the worst experience in DFW desi restaurant, and the attitude of the front desk lady didn't help either. Frankly the food wasn't even worth the wait. Bland chaat items, Oily and under-fried Sabudana vada. read more

We went to the restaurant on a weekday at 8.30pm and the waiter said the kitchen closed at 8.15pm. When we asked why does your closing time say 10pm on the website if the kitchen closes at 8.15pm, the manager / owner was rude and so dismissive. I believe the waiter was saying they were deep cleaning the kitchen. He did look apologetic. But really bad attitude on the part of the manager. The food is ok, but why would we want to go there ever again if this is how they treat their customers read more
