Spicy Chowk — Restaurant in Denton

Oh what joy I have found! This is the best food in Denton. From the first bite of Chicken 65, my wife and I locked eyes wide with wonder and delight; the flavor did the rest. If I were standing out on the plains of West Texas wearing a hat, I would have thrown my hat down onto the sand and stared into the burning distance contemplating the meaning of what I had just tasted. Every morsel encouraged us to slow down and savor it. Mind you, Chicken 65 is already one of my favorite dishes. Sometimes the heat adds a punitive element to it. I approach it like a matador to the bull or the lifter to a PR deadlift ... threat and enticement in one. However, this was different! Where I charged headlong expecting firey challenge, instead I found harmony. Culinary Judo! A few bites into this appetizer, and I knew that THIS is my favorite place to eat. Yeah, man, the APPETIZER!! Then came main courses Saag chicken and Chowk Special Curry chicken. At the first taste of these, we were rolling our eyes as we swooned! I dove into the curry. Again, a cascading myriad of flavors made me wonder if a distant relative of J S Bach was composing the culinary form of Book III of the Well Tempered Clavier in this kitchen! Litteral counter point played out on our taste buds. Again, the tone of curry expressed itself with depth and dare I say sophistication. No joke. The Saag drew you out in a refreshing way like a winding springtime stroll through a picturesque woodland painting. Delicious. Come on down and have dish and see if you don't find a little something something...

Ordered and went in on Easter Sunday. I met the owner personally(Charming man) as I was the first person in the store as they just opened. Got to also meet the Famous Ricky and shake hands with the master chief. Wonderful family atmosphere and extremely polite and friendly staff. Now on to the food. The Food Was Amazing and very authentic. There is a reason why Ricky’s name is part of some of the dishes as he absolutely delivers the authentic taste of excellence. While I am not particularly fond of spicy food (spice level 1 kinda guy) it was very much worth the hot spicy medium level that most dishes start at. My lovely wife however, loves spicy foods and authentic Indian cuisine, praised it as the best Indian food she has eaten in a long time. I bought the Sambal Lamb medium spice and Fried rice.Wonderful and delicious. I allowed some of my family to have a sample of the lamb and all agreed. Absolute Flavor Bomb in your mouth. So Good !!!! My spouse ordered the Matar Paneer and stated WOW so very tasty and flavorful. We both agree this has become a new staple in our rotation of different Sunday eating experiences and food. Trust me. I only speak the truth. Your mouth will love you, if you love spicy authentic masterpieces from the Heart of India. GO TO SPICY CHOWK and say hi to the owner and get you some food. If your lucky, you might meet Ricky yourself. Mad Props to Ricky and his Amazing cooking. 10 out of 10 masterpiece Indian cuisine and friendly atmosphere where a family can enjoy a...

Holy Curry, Batman! I'm blissed out after visiting this amazing Indian restaurant for the second time. The food here is heavenly. It is apparant that they are not cutting any corners with their food and the staff is gracious, helpful, and will answer your questions toward finding the right dish. The first time I came I ordered the MoMo 555 and was surprised at this flavourful and filling Nepalese specialty. The memory of the 555 cause me to go out of my way over the bridge to return. My second visit I ordered the MoMo 555 once again--anticipating the leftovers--and I also tried the Saag Chicken. It was rich and aromatic and I will probably think about it several times before I return. Staff promised to help me choose something new and vegetarian next time to broaden my palette from my usual choices. Everything is fresh and top tier compared to other Indian places I have tried in the area, or anywhere! The food prepared here would be right at home in a fancy table-clothed Indian restaurant and they could definitely adjust the prices accordingly. However, for now at least and hopefully forever, their meals are served in a basic, casual, and welcoming atmosphere. Music is thoughtfully chosen and at a perfect level for drifting away on the aromatic spices or having a pleasant conversation with your dining partner. You won't regret ordering enough for leftovers, and if you don't...you just might be returning before...
