Had a pleasant experience eating at Bawarchi Biryani. The place is in a really nice neighborhood in Richardson. First of all the interior seems very clean and pleasant with servers who greet you with a smile. They come to serve you free water before you order. You can either order online with the QR code pasted on the table, or a waiter will come to take your order. What we ordered: 1. Chicken Tikka Masala: It was the best chicken tikka masala I had in the US. It was flavorful and not too spicy, and tasted absolutely delicious. 2. Hyderabad mutton biryani: It tasted really well but not a burst of flavor we typically look for in a biryani. It was probably made with a mindset for a wider audience who often do not like too much Indian spices. Overall I loved it. 3. Chicken biryani: It was also pretty good but nothing special compared to biryani in other Indian restaurants. 4. Vegetable Momo/ Dumplings: We did not like it at all and definitely something not in our flavor profile. I felt like the salad dressing on top did not add anything to the taste. 5. Irani chai: It tasted really good and not like a Masala tea. It has sugar included so let them know if you take a certain amount of sugar. Overall, I recommend the place as their service was really good and the food tasted amazing. The toilet is also pretty clean although the commode was broken and that was a bad experience for me.

This restaurant has a vast menu of all different types of Indian curries, appetizers, dosas, desserts, biriyani, and more. It's located near the border of Plano and Frisco, which is a nicer area compared to other Indian restaurants I've been to. The first thing that stood out to me is the AC!! Maybe I just have a couple of bad experiences but all the Indian restaurants I've been to do not turn on their AC at all. The menu is huge, a little too crowded for my liking. It was straight-up lines back to back. My friend recommended this place so we just let him do the ordering. We got 3 curries, 2 appetizers, biriyani, and stir fry noodles. Everything came one out one by one, but it was pretty yummy and tasty. I like the gobi manchurian and the egg curry the most. The flavors were solid, and they gave us so many eggs for the curry. The Szechwan noodles were soggy. It reminds me of a mixed version of pad Thai and lo mein-- I wasn't a fan. The chicken curry has a good kick of spice, and I like how tender the chicken pieces were. Each entree dish comes with rice or butter naan, but we upgraded to garlic naan instead. The total came out to be $91 before tips, which isn't bad. The portions were good and fed 4 people happily, along with a couple of containers of leftovers. When we asked for togo boxes, the server looked at our table and brought back 2 containers. I was so confused because we had 4 dishes left and two of those needed big boxes (noodles and biriyani). The service wasn't great after you get the food. We were out of water for a while and nobody checked on us. We had to get up and go up front to ask, and also order any extra dishes. When we paid, we wanted change for the tips but our server just took the extra $5 and even made a dirty look like it wasn't enough tips (it was 18%). The one thing that made this experience terrible was as we were leaving, the server stopped us asking for a quick review. I assumed it was like if you have time, please give us a review, etc. Nope. She STOOD there, staring at us until my boyfriend take out his phone and leaves a review. I was so confused about the situation. As much as I understand restaurants want feedback, this was not the way to go. You don't give bad service and then expect to get an instant review. She made us stand in the middle of traffic and drop a review. My boyfriend felt super uncomfortable, but it didn't look like she was going to let us leave if we didn't. I liked some of the food, but the service given by the female server changed my overall experience.

I was extremely disappointed with my recent dining experience at Bawarchi Indian Cuisine and feel compelled to leave a review. Despite the pleasant atmosphere the food definitely did not meet my expectations. To start the biryani I ordered was served cold. Biryani is meant to be a flavorful and piping hot dish but unfortunately this was not the case. The cold temperature completely ruined the experience and I was left with a dull and unappetizing meal. Next I decided to try the dosa. Much to my dismay it was undercooked. The dosa lacked the crispy texture and golden color that makes it so delicious. It seemed like it was rushed or not given enough time to cook properly. This lack of attention to detail in preparing such a popular dish was a major letdown. To add to my dissatisfaction the curry that accompanied the dosa was spoiled. The aroma alone was off-putting and upon tasting it I immediately knew it had gone bad. This kind of negligence is unacceptable especially from a big chain like Bawarchi Indian Cuisine. As a customer I had high hopes for a delightful Indian dining experience. Unfortunately Bawarchi failed to deliver on the essential aspects of good food preparation. The cold biryani undercooked dosa and spoiled curry were not up to par with what I would expect from a reputable restaurant. It is truly unfortunate that a well-known chain would overlook such crucial aspects of their food quality. I would have thought that as a respected establishment Bawarchi would prioritize the satisfaction of their customers by ensuring that their food is prepared with care and meets the expected standard. In light of my disappointing experience I regrettably have to leave a one-star review for Bawarchi Indian Cuisine. I hope that they take this feedback seriously and strive to improve their food quality and attention to detail in the future.

My friend and I recently had a very disappointing experience at Bawarchi Biryanis - Plano, Indian Cuisine on 24th May 2024. As committed vegetarians, we ordered the Appetizer – Vegetarian - Pudina Gobi, clearly listed as a vegetarian option on the menu. To our horror, we discovered pieces of non-vegetarian food mixed into our dishes. This is completely unacceptable and deeply upsetting on a personal and ethical level. When we brought this to the staff's attention, they confirmed it was a mistake and that there were indeed non-vegetarian pieces in our dishes. Despite this, we were unable to speak with the owner or a manager, and we were not provided with any contact information to further escalate our complaint. Additionally, our starter was served after our main course, further detracting from the dining experience. This incident has caused us significant distress and raises serious concerns about the restaurant’s handling of dietary restrictions. Such mishandling poses a risk to vegetarians and others with dietary restrictions, including those with allergies. We have also lodged a formal complaint with the restaurant via email, requesting a formal apology, an investigation into how this error occurred, improved staff training, reliable contact information for future concerns, and compensation for the distress caused. However, we have not received any response to our emails. We have attached photos of the receipt and the food, clearly showing the non-vegetarian pieces mixed into our vegetarian dishes. We hope that the restaurant takes this feedback seriously and implements necessary changes to ensure such incidents do not happen in the future.

My recent visit to Bawarchi was extremely disappointing. Firstly, the front desk employees had no manners. The chicken lollipops were hard and tasted reheated, with a thick flour coating. The veg Manchurian was no better, tasting like poorly microwaved leftovers with freshly added sauce that turned out to be half-cooked. Please teach them “HOW TO USE A MICROWAVE PROPERLY.” The paneer biryani had old rice mixed with reheated paneer curry, making it unappetizing. We didn't even dare to try the chicken biryani after that—it was cold. When we tried to raise our concerns at the front desk, we encountered rudeness. The manager dismissed our complaints, and the chef defended the subpar food, claiming it was their "BAWARCHI style." At 12:30 AM, the chef was explaining the cooking process to us! This long-winded explanation at midnight only added to our frustration. We weren’t alone in our dissatisfaction. About 6-7 other tables also complained about old and inedible food. One person’s veg biryani was just vegetables without rice. He asked the manager why he wasn’t informed that he had to order biryani rice separately for a vegetable box with two big cauliflower pieces. Overall, it was a waste of time. The food was terrible, and the service was worse. I wouldn’t recommend Bawarchi to anyone, especially in Plano.
