Shree Vimal's — Restaurant in Irving

We visited Jagdish farshan a lot many times before, out of all these, the visit on Friday stands out. We usually visit for their batata vadas. My wife being a born and raised mumbaikar cannot live without them. She has to have her bi weekly fix of batata vadas, so it is a bi weekly Friday night supper for us. We were super satisfied with quality and quantity and the price until last Friday. On Friday before memorial day, we turned up and placed the usual 2 orders of batata vadas. This time they came in a paper bag my wife was surprised, usually they are given in a small take out box and piping hot. But this time, the batata vadas were cold, and the size was grossly disappointing, they were exactly the size of the til gud laddu we get in lonavala, we used to and still buy and eat them on the Mumbai Pune expressway whenever we visit india. Not a bit bigger, not a bit smaller. They were just the size of jumbo popcorn chicken from Sonic for americans. Usually we eat two each and are done for the night, this time my wife ate all 4. We understand there is recession, inflation and all the monetary terms being spoken on the news for the USA, but why apply all those logics on the simple and humble batata vadas, which is food for the masses. I felt like we bought Prashad from the temple and ate, even that is also little bigger in size and filing. If I knew, by reducing the size of the batata vada from tennis ball to ping pong balls you guys are combating rising inflation costs, bhagvan ko Dua kartha hun ki recession should not touch you guys, god only knows what you will do next once the recession hits, like making gajar halwa without gajar or you will try making the batata vadas without any batata in them.... Very very very disappointed, and was kinda disoriented after looking at ping pong balls for batata vadas. I should have held onto the receipt and posted pics of the ping pong batata vadas, but like I said was disoriented after...

This is an uncut gem of a place! It’s located in a bit of a seedy strip mall and is not particularly appealing from the outside (or inside, for that matter), but if you can look past the cosmetic blemishes, it truly is a treasure trove of authentic Gujarati food. I see some of the prior reviews mention the horrible dosas, etc. but why would anyone order dosas at a Gujju restaurant? You wouldn’t order Undhio Puri at a South Indian restaurant like Saravana Bhavan now, would you? If you are familiar with food from the Western part of India (and the numerous Gujju restaurants in Mumbai suburbs like Mulund and Ghatkopar), you are in for a treat at this place! We ordered numerous things from their comprehensive menu - Undhio puri, vada pav, misal pav, hot kachori, pani puri, alu paratha, peda, kaju rose, chai, lassi, etc. and everything was served piping hot by the friendly lady in the kitchen. The video screens frequently show scenes of popular snacks being cooked and packaged at their main facility in Vadodara. We got some of those packaged snacks as well - quite a few unique things there that you don’t see at typical desi grocery stores. The young lady at the front desk could be taught to smile more often and be a tad more patient with customers, but all those are minor complaints, given the overall experience and the top-notch food! We will be back soon!

Just one piece of feedback to the restaurant management: you are using thermacol / styrofoam plates, chai cups and to-go boxes. I wouldn’t want hot food or liquids being served to me on those plates. Plus it creates a lot of non-biodegradable waste. If you can switch to paper plates, cups and to-go boxes, that would be much...

I plan to file complaints against this establishment with the BBB, FDA, and the local health department. Before ordering for Diwali gifting and Pooja, we sampled three different mithas, all of which were inedible with an unpleasant old oil taste. Opting to purchase Julie, as we had enjoyed it previously when the restaurant was called Jagadish Farsan, we spent over $245 on mithas on 11/11. Whether the business's name has changed or there's new management, the food quality is now disappointing.

Regarding service, we endured a 40-minute wait for sev poori and chole batura. The questionable operation of this restaurant raises concerns about its lack of business ethics. Given the subpar food quality, I genuinely hope they cease operations soon.

Upon opening the mithai box for Lakshmi puja today, we found the contents to be disgusting and stale. Feeling thoroughly cheated on Diwali, it's perplexing why a restaurant would sell stale mithais/condiments, especially during a time when customers intend to gift them to family and friends. I am compelled to take further action.

I intend to apologize to my friends for gifting them stale mithais on Diwali, a situation that feels awkward and embarrassing. I will caution them about this restaurant and encourage them to share the warning with others. No one should have to endure paying for and consuming stale food, and my overall experience with this place has been significantly...
