Idli Dosa Indian - Midland

The restaurant is located in a casual strip mall and features a simple, spacious design. While it may not have much ambience, the quality of the meals more than compensates for that. During lunch, we ordered the chicken makhani and chicken tikka masala, both of which were reasonably priced and outstanding in flavor. One dish was mild while the other had a medium spice level, and the quality of the ingredients was impressive. The basmati rice served alongside was fluffy and perfectly cooked. We also ordered garlic and cheese naan, both of which were delicious, but the cheese naan was particularly exceptional. The drink options are limited to canned or bottled water and soda, but this is easy to overlook given the excellent food. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to try the dosa this time, but we will definitely make it a point to do so on our next visit.

Upon arrival, we were quickly seated, although the host didn’t seem particularly enthusiastic or friendly. This is an area she could definitely improve on. The menu was extensive and featured all the classic favorites. We went for the tandoori platter, which included fish, shrimp, and chicken on a bed of salad, accompanied by perfectly cooked basmati rice. The tandoori items had a delightful spiciness to them, and the samosas were exceptional—we ordered four because they were that good! We also tried a selection of naan filled with cream cheese, peppers, and garlic, and there were plenty of other varieties to sample next time. Each dish came with sauces that enhanced the flavors; the mint sauce was refreshing and summery, while the chutney puree (was there apple in it?) was delicious on everything. The tandoori came with a lovely orange sauce that could complement almost any dish. Our food arrived quickly and was served piping hot. The restaurant itself was clean and well-maintained, though it felt a bit dimly lit. The men's restroom was spotless. However, I did experience an empty water glass a third of the way through the meal, which was disappointing. The server didn’t check in on us or refill my glass—another area for improvement, along with the host's welcoming demeanor. Overall, I’m giving this restaurant 4 stars, and I plan to return to explore more of the menu. I’m taking off one star due to the lackluster service, but I’d be happy to update my review if they enhance their hospitality next time.

This restaurant is absolutely fantastic! They offer a wide range of choices and options. We got to try several new dishes that we haven't seen at other Indian restaurants. Everything we tasted was delightful, and the service was impressively quick. They also have kids' meals available. We especially appreciated the pictures displayed on a screen on the wall, showcasing different items from the menu. Everything looked so tempting that it made us want to explore even more delicious options!

We dine here nearly every weekend and I've never encountered a dish I didn't enjoy. The food is amazing, and the staff is extremely friendly. I highly recommend the buffet (available only on Saturdays and Sundays) if you're unsure about what to choose; it's a great way to sample a bit of everything and get acquainted with the various dishes. They also offer several delicious vegetarian options. Service: Dine-in.
