We had an absolutely amazing meal here! The soup was rich and flavorful, the lamb chops were perfectly cooked and tender, and the garlic naan was fresh, fluffy, and packed with flavor. But the real star? The butter sauce—it was unbelievably delicious and paired perfectly with everything. Hands down, this is the best Indian food we’ve had in Dallas. The flavors were authentic, the service was great, and we can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend!
If you’re looking for a cozy, intimate little date night spot then this is the place for you! The ambiance spot on with beautiful colors throughout. We opted for the tandoori chicken wings, garlic nah and vegetable samosas. I got a small desert (gulab jamun, yum!) and mango yogurt drink to-go. The service was great, and the food tasted fresh but didn’t take long at all to arrive at the table. The flavors were incredible and had a great balance that left us excited for our next visit. Great price point and perfect sized portions. They have indoor/outdoor seating, and well as a vegan and kids menu, though as it is a small space I don’t recommend large parties/large families.
While visiting Dallas, I came across the Elephant Indian Bar & Grill. The minute I walked in, the smell of warm spices enveloped me, and I knew I was in for something great. The space is cool and colorful, with a relaxed vibe, but the food just blew me away. The butter chicken was everything you want in an Indian dish: deeply seasoned, rich, and ridiculously good. The apricot chicken was a standout as well. The meat was incredibly tender, and the sweet hint of apricot perfectly balanced the heat. To top it all off, the cucumber margarita was crisp and refreshing, cutting through the richness in all the right ways. If you’re in Dallas and looking for fabulous Indian food in a fun, colorful spot, the Elephant grill is worth the stop.
SO GOOD! Definitely come here. The Tandoori Momos were our favorite but we also got the hummus and garlic naan, tikka masala and the elephant grill platters. Everything was absolutely amazing! We will be back and hope to become regulars :). Staff were super kind!
Came here with my husband to celebrate getting a new job. Food and service were great and I definitely felt celebrated! I have a lower spice tolerance and ordered mild chicken tikka masala. It actually was mild (usually with Asian places I feel like it’s still quite spicy). This would be a great place for people with all spice tolerances. Yummy!
Living down the street and seeing this place come together, we finally took the time to try it out. I’m not well versed in Indian cuisine but all these dishes were amazing and packed with flavor. The samosas were so savory and crispy but in my opinion the Lamb Biriyani outshined the others. The service was outstanding, always making sure we had everything we needed and then some! We will definitely be back!
I implore you to go and try this experience for yourself. We had in our group covering 5 generations and a chef from a star restaurant with us. From the moment you walk in, there is an other worldly elegance and yet a relaxing atmosphere that defies explanation. We tried appetizers and many entrees that were each unique and incredibly packed with flavor in each bite. We were able to choose our heat level from 1 to 5 for our food. The menu is packed with items to fit every palate with a delight. Each plate that arrived had a completely different flavor and we all couldn't decide which one we preferred. We all filled our plates with a family style of offerings we selected and I confess it's one of the top favorites from each group member. We not only will be back but we cannot wait to go again. The service and attention was outstanding with attention to every person seated. The liquor lisence should be approved to compliment the dishes. You will not be disappointed. Parking is available in the back or at the motel so don't let that stop you from enjoying your authentic Indian/Asian experience.
