I love this place even after only visiting twice. The building, the wood, the menu options, the drink options, and live music. Our waiter Nathan was very courteous and gave us a thorough history of Windmills and the thought and vision behind the building, menu, and inside structure. I went in for a quick bite so ordered a couple of appetizers and they were not only delicious but expertly plated. Al.ost didnt was to ruin the look by eating them but they were so robust with flavor. I can't wait to catch a show soon ans try more of the menu. read more

I may be spelling it wrong Kyera, but she is doing a spectacular job running the music program. They have different events to highlight local talent and interests of all genres. Manager gave us stickers and was also really nice I didn't get to try the food! Hope to another visit. It smelt wonderful . Love the concept of this place! Highly recommend read more

This is an upscale unique combination restaurant. It is known for its home brew of atleast 14 types of craft beer, the jazz lounge with live performances, and for food- a mix of elevated Texan and Indian inspired dishes. The vibe.. the ambiance... its very different, kind of reminded me of New Orleans, but in a quieter more classy way. Its a great place to hang out, listen to some good music and just chill. was meeting friends post dinner, yet there was so much on the menu we wanted to try and finally settled for Aloo Tikki Chat, Shitake peppers and desserts. The aloo tikki chat was really well made, they even added the pomegranate on it...it was warm enough and disappeared in no time. Next was the shitake peppers masala, it hit just right, spicy enough to want to eat more but not burning your tongue. Then came the desserts : The house favorite Pistachio Mango Mousse cake is a must try. It was just soo yummy. Then there was sticky toffee pudding - melt in the mouth And lastly, an upside down cake - this came with home made vanilla ice cream and tasted just soo good. Do note that the restaurant updates menu periodically, and my review is from a while ago. Would love to come back here with more friends. read more

I really wanted to like this place. The menu looks good and diverse. Just wasn't prepared for the prices. It seemed like everything was priced for an event. Like at Cosm or the ballpark, pricier than average, but you are there for an experience. There was no experience with my visit. Just an empty dining room at lunch time. I bet it really livens up when there is live music. The service was fantastic. They were all professional and welcoming. I don't think I'll be back for food anytime soon. I work in the area and am usually looking for more reasonable options on my lunch break. Maybe for a beer after though! They had some really nice styles on tap for only $5 and crowlers to go if you wanted. read more

There is no way to know the menu prices before coming. Its a digital menu with price shown after opening each item individually. Starters are $15-20 and mains all about $30. Plates are good small bites for sharing. I appreciated that every menu item had a picture of the dish. Service was great and atmosphere too. Very cool inside, not a bad seat to be had if your coming to see the music. The food was good with interesting flavor but I didnt like the preparation. The paneer was cold and bland but mint chutney sauce was great. The aloo chat had dense thick potato patties which I didn't like but the sauce was great, just too much sauce ratio for the potato patties. Overall its premium prices for dishes that could have been better. read more

Came in for a private company holiday event. I've never heard of this place, but I was very excited to try it! The interior and ambiance were beautiful. It was a buffet style dinner, but the Tandoori chicken and Samosas were the best! Overall, this experience definitely left a call for me to come back one day. Some foods that were served included: Fenugreek Paneer, Dill Butter Chicken, Tandoori Chicken, Dill Butter Chicken, Broccoli Falafel, Samosas, Rice, Naan Bread, Mint Chutney, Guava Sauce, Cheesecake/Brownie dessert, etc. What stood out to me the most was the Tandoori Chicken and Samosas with Guava sauce. I would definitely love to come back to get it again! Also, it was my birthday when we had the company event. They had brought out a celebratory dessert for my birthday which was very sweet. It was a unique matcha mango cake which we all enjoyed. Service was great especially since it was about 20+ of us and it was an open bar. Our one server and one bartender did a great job keeping up. Overall, the company I worked for had made an amazing choice of choosing this restaurant. Thank you so much! read more

This is an upscale craft brewery as well as an excellent restaurant with a menu influenced by cuisine from America and India. Nice atmosphere with a stage for musical performances. Even if there are no headliners performing, they often have someone onstage set the playing a grand piano. This review is from the perspective of ordering at the bar. Service was fast and friendly. I had a flight of 5 craft beers (all were tasty) , chipotle maple chicken wings, and roast chicken croquettes. The service was fast and the Food was delicious. read more

First time checking out Windmills it's an Indian fusion restaurant but primary modern twist to Indian food. Offering a wide variety of classic Indian dishes along with kebabs, burgers, and steak dishes. There's something here for everybody! We enjoyed all the food items honestly, the chaat was a favorite along with the chicken croquettes! The desserts were all 10/10 and did not disappoint. If you are in the area, definitely recommend checking it out!! read more

This location is got a very eclectic menu, but I will say it is primarily influenced by Indian flair. We arrive for dinner around 545 6 o'clock and there was more than enough tables and seating available. This location does have live music that performs later on in the evening. We were a group of four and we're seated right away. Our server was a little standoffish and not the most friendly person. Kind of seem like it was an inconvenience for us to have come in. I opted for their baby back ribs, and found them to look delicious, and the meat was incredibly tender and was easily pulled off the bone, but their barbecue sauce definitely had a kick to it to the point where I could actually only eat two of the four bones that were on my plate. I wish that the green apple and arugula salad would've been a little bit more prevalent to add an additional cooling factor to the meal. I did opt for their chai old-fashioned and as somebody who loves chai, I did not like this combo. Was just read more

Previous experience was just a beer at the bar but was so impressed by the beautiful atmosphere we made a trip back. Unsure and having never tried Indian cuisine, we were hesitant but our waiter made some great recommendations and we're sold. Fabulous experience all around. People complaining about prices are unfair, $$$ is clearly listed and are on the menus. You are getting exceptional quality food and drink with matching service and atmosphere. read more

Windmills offers a unique dining experience with its Indian western fusion food selections and musical performances to accompany them. I visited for the first time and I thoroughly enjoyed my experience. My friend and I ordered the Karara Paneer and the Cheese Poppers. Both were very crispy and flavorful. The paneer was excellent paired with the mango and mint dip, which was the perfect amount of tangy. I also enjoyed the cheese poppers (think jalapeño poppers) as they were spiced really well. I definitely want to go back for their happy hour from 3-6 pm on weekdays and try their signature cocktails and some Indian inspired entree dishes. read more

I came here to attend a private retirement party on a late Thursday afternoon. The party was held upstairs, which is open to the main floor. There wasn't live music at this time, which I would probably really enjoy in a future visit. The restaurant had a relaxed, chill vibe and the service staff was excellent! They attended to everyone's needs with a smile. I'm probably not the best to judge Indian food because I have a very bland palette. I mean, who orders a hamburger at an Indian restaurant? That would be me! It was delicious by the way! There is an elevator right near the entrance, so it was easy to get up to the second floor. The bartenders were excellent and asked questions to find out what our preferences were. The sound level was also excellent because everyone could converse easily without shouting over annoying background music. I would highly recommend this venue for small private gatherings as long as live music isn't happening on the main floor. read more

What a gem! Delicious food, great venue, and amazing beers. First of all, this place is built for music - from the way the wood walls are perforated to the library. Tues and Thurs 6-8pm there is a live pianist and o the weekends there are ticketed shows. When there isn't love music, the library is a real library and you're encouraged to peruse the books while there. The beers are fantastic! A flight is only $10 for 5 pours and the full size beers are only $5 for their craft beer. The selection was great! The food is pricier ($30-40/entree) but honestly that evens out with the beer price, and is especially worth it for a live music venue. The paneer lababdar was amazing - creamy, spiced, and very mildly spicy!! My only suggestion is they should consider cheaper lunch prices since there's no live music and portions could be smaller at those times. Finally, everyone was friendly. Such good vibes. I highly recommend. read more

I crave this place. We've tried a handful of different things and had so many delicious - and often spicy - dishes. Love the Indian fusion and different, unique styles. Can't remember any specifics right now, sadly, but I was extra impressed with the bar and creative cocktails last visit. The amazing bartender, who was also waiting on us (oh glorious day), had a special experimental cocktail that he offered once I asked questions about the cocktails and any unique offerings they had. Man, would I love to have that cocktail again sometime. Excellent beer selection, too. The interior is nice with a creative, modern library meets jazz joint kind of vibe. There's a huge patio that's awesome, too. The overall vibe is nice, and it's easy to spend a lot of money here on a night out. Solid date night place for sure, as long as that special someone likes spicy Indian-influenced food. read more

From the moment we walked in, we should have known...yes, the hostess was on the phone but she did not even acknowledge us when walked past. The two servers looked at us come in, sans hostess, and did not say anything. We were confused as to what to do and had to walk to the bar to seek guidance. He directed us back to the hostess who said she doesn't know why she didn't acknowledge us and she was sorry. What!?!?! The calamari was good, my man was pleased with the beers, but then... my order did not come out with my finances meal and when I mentioned it to the gentleman who brought out the food, I was met with a questioning face as if I were making it up, rather than an apology. And my fiancées lamb kabob did not have the onion salad that he has was eagerly waiting to eat with his lamb. Again no apology from the person brining out the food. We decided to leave due to lack of care. read more

The bartender was so nice & her name was Raquel & she is fairly new, but so acknowledge of the menu which is a plus because it was my 1st time.

I came here for my birthday and it was the perfect decision. The mezze platter and stuffed naan appetizers were so flavorful, all of the sauces on the platter were incredible. Our waitress was exceptional, she took the time to recommend beers and food based on what we were feeling, and she was spot on. For mains we ordered chicken biryani, butter chicken and a falafel burger and we had nothing but amazing things to say about the food. Each food item is paired with a drink on the menu so you know exactly what to order with it! The restaurant itself was also very cool. We went during lunch when it was not crowded and there was no music, but now we want to go back when they have a performer there! We will be back! read more

Amazing restaurant that fulfils the need to showcase elevated Indian cuisine at its finest! The ambiance is extremely well decorated, modern, architectural and stylish. They thought carefully of how the ambiance should be from the wooden twist tables and consoles, to the frameless entry of the restrooms to the artistic book corner. Now for the real reason we come here.. to eat! As mentioned the cuisine is elevated fine dining of Indian food. Windmills seems to have put into perspective, fighting off notion that Indian food CAN be made in a tasteful, high end and innovative with their explosion of flavour. This isn't your mom and pop Indian restaurant (although it's good), this is somewhere you can go for a celebration, fun birthdays-- an experience! The menu is presented on a tablet and I ordered the lamb kulcha (naan bread stuffed with minced lamb), braised pork salad, guava chicken, kerala beef fry, and finish off with rose berry mocktail. I highly recommend all the dishes as they are flavourful with all sorts of textures! I can't say I prefer one more to the other because everything was delicious! read more

The servers were Lost, the bartenders overworked and unhappy yet managed the show somehow. Overall, Yes will come again after seeing this improvement. read more

My husband and I recently stopped in the Windmills for a drinks on a Friday afternoon. This is an absolutely gorgeous restaurant. The layout is bright and clean with stunning aesthetics. They brew their beer on site, and have a wide variety for every palette. And their sampler is only $10 to try 5! We had amazing service from Ella who was super friendly and informative. We will definitely be back sometime soon to try the food menu! Thank you again, Ella! :) read more

I really liked this place. So I am huge fan of their branch in Bengaluru, India. I had no idea they had branches here in the US as well. I was introduced to this place via my friends who are local residents of Dallas. They frequent here and love the food. Since I had heard so much about this place. We had to go check it out. Parking was a breeze, they have. Huge parking deck right upfront. We had a reservation and we arrived 10mins late, however they didn't seem to have an issue with that. They have outdoor seating facing a water body which is beautiful but because we visited in Jan it was too cold to sit outside. Hence we choose to sit indoors. We ordered the cocktails, I got the spicy route and my husband got a Smoking barrel, our friends also got the chai old fashion and the hakka. All the cocktails were fabulous, but I liked mine the best. It was definitely spicy and chilli forward so it isn't for the faint hearted. Everyone liked theirs the best, I guess they cater to all pallates. We got the guava chicken, chole bature, cheese curds, mushroom naan, the tandoori chicken, salmon avocado toast and daal. Everything was fabulous. Very authentic and well done. I love the fusion flavors and the chicken was tender, cooked to perfection. The daal was creamy and decadent. My avocado toast was Indian-ized almost and tasted incredible. For dessert we got the flourless chocolate cake, it absolutely slayed. We also got the carrot halwa cake which tasted more like a carrot walnut cake tbh. Overall, 10/10. I loved this place and I am coming back when I revisit Dallas. read more

Modern bar with Indian fusion flavors. Live music scene with plenty of seating outside and inside. Seats were comfortable too and food was great.

Came here to try this place out. I am giving it 4 stars due to their happy hour, as I do think their main food is not really worth the price. Atmosphere/Ambiance - 5/5 - This is a beautiful looking restaurant, especially in the inside. It feels quite, quite fancy. Staff - 5/5 - Friendly and attentive. Food/Drink - Ordered the following: Beef Sliders - 5/5 - Great sweet pepper aioli on them. Recommend. Crumb-Fried Pork Belly - 4/5 - Really good, but such a small portion. Beer Batter Cauliflower - 5/5 - I love fried cauliflower, and this doesn't disappoint. Sweet and Spicy Pork Belly - 4/5 - Tender, but flavor was just okay. Chicken & Waffles - 5/5 - I am a sucker for Chicken and Waffles. Overall, I think the place was pretty good, but would only really come here for brunch and happy hour. More than likely, I will be back. read more

Fantastic ambience and setup -- we saw a private event happening on the top floor but barely noticed. Great place for that. Lots of local beers on tap and a menu with pictures of each item. The food and service were good, but admittedly overpriced. The tandoori chicken was a bit dry; the star of that dish was actually the lentil dahl. I need the recipe for that, stat. Lovely place for a romantic night out, just be aware of the high prices. read more

Walked in for a light lunch with my husband and we walked right on out after seeing how incredibly high the prices were. $20ish for chips and queso?!! $40ish for HALF a Chicken?!! No thanks!

This place has a awesome ambiance. Love the audiophile/music lover theme inside which is classy. Service is also great, and since it is also a brewery, I found the beers there excellent as well.

Oh my god. I cannot explain how disappointed I was. Guess we just didn't do our research before so I wasn't prepared. I thought it was a chill place that advertised music, microbrewery, and good food. Food was mehhhh. A little more towards Indian food than I originally thought , which doesn't mean it's a negative thing, just not what you immediately think when you see live music/microbrewery in the U.S. we ended up staying for an hour to have some chips and queso and drinks. Glad we did because our server was great and the drinks were strong. *however* there was no live music - on a Saturday night. Really lame. The a/c was broken and our server said they were 2 degrees from an OSHA violation. They had fans. It was WARM and super humid. The worst part was the music. They were literally playing Barbara Streisand and when I complained they put on green sleeves - Christmas music! It was so bizarre. This place could be awesome but the management does not have a clue. read more

Yikes!!! This is the second time I have been here and each time they have done an absolutely terrible job!!!! The cocktails here are absolutely great. However, no matter when we came in, the hostess would give tables to people that came in ahead of us without really managing the tables. It's the most frustrating when you have a reservation and they still have to wait while walk ins do not have to wait at all. Food is decent, but can take forever to come out and they often run out of so many items. What upset me the most was that they tried to hurry you out on their own time. Probably will not come back again. IG: QueenOfAdventureNYC read more

The ambiance and customer service were both wonderful! Keep in mind that you won't find your typically Indian food here. The menu options are limited but what they do serve is tasty and flavorful.

But the dal makhani that came with the tandoori chicken plate was nice and creamy (but a little heavy on the salt). read more

3.5 stars. Upscale Indian food. There was a decent amount of Indian people there, so that may speak to the authenticity. They also have a location in India. been here once before but only for drinks / beer. I think they have some beer specials sometimes. Menus are all on iPads. It's cool but kind of hated it. Especially for a large party, there are only a few ipads to go around. Then you have to click into the picture to see the pricing. People got the tandoori chicken ($35). presentation is on a large board, but in terms of actual food, it's not a lot. For what it's worth, my friend was hungry at the end of the night. Comes with rice and naan. The chutney was really good. Chicken seemed fine. I got the lamb kebab ($22) with 4 small strips. It was good but it was considered an appetizer. Pricing on other items: cheeseburger ($20) - this may be the only non Indian thing on the menu, fenugreek chicken ($25) , kerala beef fry ($35), rib eye and potatoes ($80), seafood moilee ($35). Wouldn't come back again. If you're looking for a change of pace for Indian food, then this place is it. They do shows sometimes too. read more

We ordered sliders without onions, mushrooms and pickles. The sliders came out with everything we didn't want on them. The tandoori chicken we ordered was raw.

Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else unless you want to be served raw chicken. I would never come back. Wouldn't want to risk getting sick from being served raw chicken.

Second visit was on weekday night. We did not have a reservation so they offered us to seat at bar or High rise seat. We picked the high rise chairs. Ordered drinks(water) and appetizers right away. We ordered the Cheese Curds and Hot and sweet Guava Chicken. Chicken was good, hot curds were oily and did taste good once they got little cold and they are not good without the mint sauce either. Ordered the Kulcha and wagyu cheese burger for entree Kulcha was delicious. Burger was nothing special . read more

On a whim, we booked dinner at Windmills and twenty minutes later, we sat down outside to the lovely view of the water. We had a nice server who was very helpful. I initially ordered the Drops of Jupiter drink, but they were out so I had The Haka which is a tequila based, lemongrass and pineapple drink and it was delicious. For dinner, I ordered the wagyu beef burger as recommended by our server and I'm so glad I did. It melted in my mouth and the quality was top-tier. The side of rosemary garlic fries were so so good. Yum. I got my onions and chili aioli on the side, but ended up eating everything. It took my meal quite a while to come. Once arrived, our server did explain they made it wrong and they sent it back. Otherwise, an over good experience and I'll be back to hear the live music and try brunch soon! read more

I recently visited this place with a larger group of professionals and found it to be a hidden gem. Tucked away near the Nebraska Furniture Mart, it's conveniently close to a few other restaurants. The dining area is open and bright, with their own brewery on-site and a menu featuring traditional mixed drinks. The interior is clean and modern, with lots of bookshelves giving it a cozy library vibe. There's also a large stage in the middle, which I imagine could be used for performances. I didn't try any main dishes, but the appetizers were decent. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. I plan to come back with a smaller group to explore more of their drinks and dishes. read more
