Famous for buffet. Good management. All the food is arranged in a separate room next to sitting hall, good for crowd management. Below are the items I tried on Wed lunch buffet (only listing veg items): Salad bar: Moong sprouts Potato cucumber salad Beetroot salad Greens Chutni counter: Tomati chutney Peanut chutney Coconut chutney Raita Curd rice Drinks bar Mango lassi Pink lemonade Buttermilk Soda machine Dessert: Kheer Mango ice cream Gajar halwa Suji halwa Chocolate Pastry Gulabjamun Pani puri counter Golgappe Papdi Bhelpuri Jeera Pani Meetha Pani Amchur Pani Sev Curd Meethi chutney Mint chutney Onion, tomato, coriander Aloo tikki chat Vada pav Pav bhaji Puri Chola Aloo ki sabji Dosa Rasam Sambhar Naan Paneer Kofta Dal Kadhi Aloo bonda Mix veg pakora Dosa, sambhar, kadhi, beetroot salad, jeera Pani were the best. Golgappe had some weird oily taste to it, but overall taste was ok. Dessert were ok as well. 4 stars for the variety, as I never found these many veg items in a buffet before but has room for taste improvement. Reasonable buffet price- 18.99+ tax.

This place has more selections than any the other Indian buffets I've been too, they also have hot chai and coffee. Restaurant was clean, plenty of staff near by in case you need something. I would definitely come back here again. We went at 6pm on a Saturday and no wait, was around $50 for 3 adults.

I can't help but compare this place to be the equivalent of a Chinese buffet in the sense of quantity over quality. While everything I had was good it was not great. The decor is nice and feels upscale. I've been here twice now, because I wanted to try it one more time before leaving a review. The first time was lunch on a weekday and there were two parties going on. The kitchen had a hard time keeping up with the crowd. This time was lunch on Friday and while still busy, most items were kept well stocked. The naan station was a little behind but luckily had some on my way back to my table. There is a pani puri station and made to order dosas. This place gets busy but it's nice to try different things and to be able to get in and out. They do close between lunch and dinner. I would most likely stick to my neighborhood places.

i rarely eat lunch while in my office, and its even more rare that i actually go out to eat. However, this place is my #1 go to choice for lunch. i don't know what it is about indian buffets, but i just love them. While it isn't "cheap", i think the 20 bucks you're paying for the amount of choice you get is still a good deal. every time i go there are people there during the lunch hours, which is a good sign. We never had to wait, and get seated fairly quickly. My favorite items are the palak paneer and the chicken tikka masala. couple those two items with either white rice or biryani, and i'm good to go. However, this place has so much more than that. i think they have items from the north of india as well as the south of india, which makes it so diverse. also, i was able to try pani puri for the first time recently, and it is an amazing snack. they also have a salad bar and a section for dessert. Honestly, every time i go, i end up back in the office with a food coma. hard to focus on meetings after lunch. lol For drinks, they will offer water. but they also have a soda machine you can get soda from along with chai, lassi and coffee.

India 101 is by far my favorite restaurant in the entire DFW Metroplex. They offer a large selection of vegetarian options along with several meat choices and desserts as well. Their chili chicken, vegetarian "meat"balls, and pani pani are some of my faves!! For drinks, they offer delicious chai, mango lassi, plain lassi, and coffee -- those are in addition to the water and sodas you can choose from. The service is always excellent and the ambiance of the restaurant is welcoming and warm. I highly recommend India 101!!!

This is a solid buffet restaurant if you're looking to try different Indian dishes as a beginner or just want to satisfy your cravings. I was in my Indian phase, and have been craving different dishes. I saw an advertisement saying this has over 60+ items, and the cost wasn't crazy either, so we stopped by. We came around 7 PM on a Sunday and the restaurant was packed. There were a couple of large parties in front of us. They have a waiting area, which is pretty nice, with a staircase leading to the second floor. I'm guessing the 2nd floor is for private events mainly. We waited about 25 minutes for a table. The restaurant looked big on the outside, but the seating area was pretty small. I was amazed at their buffet options and how organized everything was. They have appetizers, curries, salad bars, fresh dosa, desserts, lassi, fountain drinks, and more. Just like other buffets, you grab a plate at the beginning and make your way down the road. There are small wooden bowls if you want to separate your curries like me. I enjoyed trying everything, and I absolutely love the dosa. I wish the dosa was crispy like what I usually get at restaurants, but I think it's pretty solid for buffet style. The regular rice was undercooked-- it was still crunchy when we bit into it so that was disappointing. I love their mango lassi and the fountain drinks. Everything is available for you to grab which is very convenient. The food quality isn't the best but it was still good enough to satisfy my cravings. My boyfriend didn't like the tandoori chicken-- he said it was pretty plain and tasteless. You can see the naan and dosa being cooked right behind the counter so that was pretty cool. They restock it quickly since there's one person behind each area. Overall, it's a solid place if you want to try multiple Indian dishes. Most buffets are only available during weekday lunch so I was happy to find one that offers weekend dinners as well!
