This restaurant offers northern and southern Indian cuisine. The food here is phenomenal. They have been around for a few decades when they used to be on Campbell under the name of Pasand. They have a sister restaurant in Irving under the name Pasand. The buffet during lunch delivers a great variety ?. And I adore their chicken 65 ! I am not vegetarian, but their vegetarian dishes are sooo good you forget that there is no meet in it.

Tried the Tandoori chicken based on other reviews. The chicken was BADD… it wasn’t properly marinated and the flavor and spice was just missing. Totally disappointed!!

Been seeing and passing this place for years- decided to stop here for date lunch, and I'm glad I did.Several lunch specials, for under $15! The spices and extras were also amazing, and I'm looking forward to exploring more of the regular menu options!

The flavors and portions are great. Chicken marsala is usually so bland, not here! Thanks for a great birthday dinner. However, one of the servers mumbled severely, causing a mix up of who's dish was which. The server with the shaved was outstanding though.

We had our dinner delivered through GrubHub and it was amazing! The samosas we're crispy and flavorful, our vindaloo was perfectly spicy and filled with flavor, the lamb kabob was also really good. It's our new Indian place for sure!

Never had someone use canned green beans in a vegetable masala. The overwhelming disappointment......I was Soo excited to finally order from this place. And could not be more dissapointed. We ordered the vindaloo and the vegetable masala and aside from the naan it was barely edible. I suggest Roti Grill. The rice was dry, the vindaloo was overwhelmingly cinnamon like they poured the whole bottle. It was like eating cologne. And the vegetable masala was a mush of seemingly canned vegetables and a dissapointing flavor. I wish with all my being I could get my money back. Won't be eating here ever again. Very dissatisfied. Never left a review on a place. Literally was moved to do so by how dissapointing it was. I don't see redemption in their future with other menu items. Even the rice was hard dry and chewy and not cooked properly.

First time lunch goer, ordered butter chicken lunch special. Spice was perfect heat. Clean ppe in effect. Friendly prompt sit down service. Not too crowded at 1 on a fri. Im coming back!

Ordered their food on Grubhub - I thought the food was great but I also think their customer service is excellent! If there is ever an issue with my order, they will call and help you make the appropriate replacement/substitution. I recommend trying their andhra gare!!

If I could give an actual rating, this would be 0/5 stars but google forces me to give at least 1 star. I had hired Vindu to do catering for one of the days of my wedding weekend. When I contacted the restaurant, I spoke with the owner (Pakeera Guduru) and went to Vindu’s for a tasting after telling him what I was envisioning for that day. We finalized the menu at the tasting and was told a price per person to which we agreed. We were also charged an additional fee for 4 staff from Vindu to come and prepare some of the food onsite. We paid the advance and then we were told to come a couple of days before the event to finalize our guest count and pay the remaining amount. Aside from the menu, we discussed the layout that we had in mind as well as the general timings for the event. Mr Guduru kept reassuring me that he’s been in the industry for many years and has a lot of experience catering for events larger than ours.Two weeks before the event, I called Mr Guduru asking him to provide his insurance documents along with a liability waiver that the venue required to which he said that he would email me the completed documents. I also told him that we had finalized with the venue regarding the layout of the food stations and had come up with the finalized timeline for that day to which he asked me to email him the details.Four days before my event, I went to the restaurant and paid the balance that was due and when I brought up the layout and timeline in my conversation with Mr Guduru, it was clear that he hadn’t looked at my email but he assured me that he would handle it and that the service would start at 6pm promptly and that his staff would arrive at the venue by 5pm to setup.On the day of the event, the Vindu staff only showed up at 6pm and started service at 7pm. We had agreed on the appetizer station being active from 6pm-8pm but they only began at 7pm. It was extremely frustrating for all of our guests that was waiting for 1 hour without any food.On top of that, during dinner, one of the food items that was supposed to be made at the venue was dosas to which Mr Guduru had told me that he would be bringing two large dosa griddles that would make 6 dosas per griddle (12 dosas at a time). With the size of our crowd, he said that we would only need two griddles. His staff showed up with griddles that were only large enough to make 3 dosas per griddle causing extremely long lines. If he had told me that the griddles would only be large enough to make 3 at a time, I would have requested him to bring additional staff so we could have more stations and paid accordingly.If that wasn’t enough, one of the two cooks who was manning one of the dosa stations was producing dosas that were so thick- it was evident that he hadn’t made dosas before. As a result, guests were avoiding this one dosa station, resulting in even longer lines. His staff also walked off with trays of food at the end of the event which goes against what he promised us. We were told that we would be given any leftover food so that we could distribute it as we saw fit.The quality of the food from Vindu can be rated as fine with the exception of the gulab jamun which was so tough and dry. However, the service and complete disregard for everything that was promised and what we were charged for borders on shameless thievery. I would never recommend this establishment to anyone. There are far better catering options within the DFW metroplex to choose from that provide South Indian food.We were actually considering to use Vindu for our main wedding day but decided to go with another Indian caterer and I am so glad that we did. The service and overall experience that we had was like the comparison of day vs night with what we received from Vindu.

Server was a little slow but the food was great, especially for the price
