The dosa was tough and dry, resembling cardboard, with hardly any oil, and the chutneys were served cold. The pani puri was just average, and the pani was too chilly. After reading the reviews, I decided to give it a chance, but I certainly won't be coming back!

I try to visit this restaurant atleast once a week in the evening after work, it certainly gave me a strong Indian vibe and whenever I visit desi district I forget that I am in Dallas and I reminded only when I see the price on the menu card.Have had other items here which were not great, but I see this place as a wonderful evening spot to hang out and have refreshments

Although it was a little on the costly side, it tasted good. The chicken was cooked to perfection and was full of flavor. While it may not have had the exact traditional mandi flavor, it tasted like chicken pulao with cashews and kismis.But I really like Tresleches Rabdi. Oh my god, it's just heavenly! It has right amount of sweetness. My favorite dessert.Overall its a good restaurant with variety of options. Definitely worth your visit.
