Reviews for VISHNUJI KI RASOI in Allen, TX

Best maharashtrian food in dallas so far. It?s a shame that they sever only vegetarian food. I?d recommend going after the... appetizers here - kothimbir wadi, vada pav, sabudana vada are a must try. Their thecha and chutney are too good. Mango lassi++ Read more

I tried the Lunch Buffett at this restaurant on a Sunday afternoon. This place is purely vegetarian and is affiliated with the... famous chef - ?Vishnu Manohar?. This restaurant famously serves ?Maharashtrian food cooked home style with healthyingredients?. Let me be frank with you guys, I just avoid going to places that are purely vegetarian because you never knowwhat you?ll end up getting, sometimes the food is sweet, sometimes the greens that they offer are not a part of your diet ormaybe they don?t have enough options for you to get excited about. So, when my friends suggested this place, I was a bitskeptical, to say the least. This restaurant just blew me away. Let?s talk about food; they had a couple of fried appetizers(mix pakora and palak pakora) Dal, rice, a few entrees (Chloe, aloo-bhindi and cabbage) and a couple of deserts (Gulab Jamun andMango phirni) along with papad and soup. I never got the chance to try the soup but my god the rest of the food was delicious.The aloo-bhindi was the star of the afternoon. It was authentic Maharashtrian tasting and the potatoes were so soft it wouldjust melt in our mouths. Dal had the home style flavor and tasted excellent with rice and Chloe. Over to the deserts section,Gulab Jamun was typical and nothing fancy, but the mango phirni was just unbelievable. Papad was ok, I mean it?s papad, whatmore do you expect? For $15, this Buffett was an absolute steal. The soul of Maharashtra can be felt after tasting the foodhere. I wanted to try the much talked about Misal-Pav but I was told they don?t serve that during lunch Buffett which was abummer. Not everything on the menu would be called cheap but it?s reasonable. There are times in your life living outside ofyour home town that you wish for some ?Ghar ka Khana? (home cooked food) and this place just hits you with nostalgia. It?salmost an exact replica of what you would get, food wise at least, in Mumbai, Maharashtra. The authentic Dal with rice, thebhendi Read more

Authentic Maharashtrian food.I have been visiting this place for few months now every weekend.Initially I rated it high due to... good food and service. However since past few months their quality of food has degraded and service has been slow too. Beingshort staffed cannot be a problem for months. The wait time after of placing order for regular orders has been 45+minutes. Itake my Mumbai friends here when they are visiting DFW for the Vada pav . Recently the service has been too slow and toounprofessional. Edited to change ratings! Read more

Authentic taste on a few items tasted on this Dallas Visit! Bhakari, vada pav, Kanda pohe made my day with good sweet Shrikhand... and butter milk to finish. Overall great experience. Need to try more on next visit to confirm the ratings! Read more

Having lived in Mumbai for 21 years, Maharashtrian food is very close to my heart and this restaurant did complete justice to... it. This restaurant is owned by a famous chef in India. I would highly suggest trying Kothambir wadi (coriander is the keyingredient), sabudana vada (tapioca), vada pav, misal pav and thali peeth. We?ve also tried other dishes like pitla bhakar andthey taste good as well. In terms of the food and taste, this restaurant has been consistent. Now, people would argue but youcan definitely try it once (don?t completely rely on the bad star ratings that the restaurant has got). Now, the service is alittle slow because they are short staffed and in these difficult times I believe to support local restaurants. I highlyrecommend the food here, plus reasonable prices. You got a good deal???? Read more

Reminded me of authentic Maharashtrian food. If you?re missing or craving for Maharashtrian food, I would absolutely recommend... this. We were unhappy with the service though. There?s a room for lot of improvement in terms of service and hygiene. Read more

We had Friday buffet lunch.. ambience , food and service were good . Food felt like home made food devoid of any cream to... overflowing oil. Would like to try Ala carte items next time! Surely a great option for vegetarians ???? Read more

Been here couple of times now both time for dinner. Good vegetarian restaurant, specially for Maharashtrian cuisine. The food... taste makes you feel you are eating at home and not at the restaurant. We tried bharli wanga, patawadi rassa, kothimbir wadi,veg kolhapuri, rasmalai, mung dal halwa, dal khichadi, chole bhature, chole samosa, veg manchurian, mango lassi. All the dishesturned out to be good. Personal favorite is mango lassi. I also like the complementary soup. The ambiance is good and place isclean, staff is friendly and fast service. Clean restrooms. Lots of space for parking. Read more
