Mughlai Fine Indian Cuisine 5301 Alpha Road, Dallas, TX 75240

"I finally decided to revisit one of my favorite Indian buffets yesterday. So many restaurants did not survive Covid, or perhaps eliminated their buffet permanently. I was pleased to see that Mughlai had not done either. Mughlai was always been a little bit upscale… It is not a $9.95 buffet (probably aren’t any of those left), but that’s what I like about it. You get what you pay for. Their selection was as good as ever, including an additional table with pani puri offerings. One thing I particularly like about their food is that the chicken dishes include real hearty chunks of premium chicken… Not the stringy bits you often see on Indian buffets. I was pleased to see one of my favorite dishes, malai kofta, offered, although the consistency was different from what I’m used to. The dumplings were more like mashed potato balls—not unpleasant, but not my favorite. As with any good buffet, there were plenty of good options. My favorite on this visit may have been the nicely spiced chicken chunks… not sure what they were called, but they were right behind the tandoori chicken. While I usually order fresh roti at Indian restaurants, the naan (garlic and plain) was sufficiently thin and chewy so that I didn’t feel the need. The comfort and the atmosphere of Mughlai is still very good: It’s a pleasant place to have a meal. My only real gripe is something that would be easily remedied. The water I was served appeared to be unfiltered tap water. Perhaps not unhealthy, but taste of water is really important to me. Many low-end establishments have good working water filtration, so I really hope Mughlai improves this."

"Everything was great except my dirty drink cup and spoon but I had the lunch buffet with my friend lady"

"Still my favorite Indian restaurant in Dallas. Very authentic, and excellent service. And they’ll control the spice level if you’d like."

"Food quality and quantity is good. Food is delicious. Mango lassi was awesome. Just one small suggestion for mango lassi, keep big wide straw so easy to suck from the straw. It was really difficult. Garlic butter Nan - not that much good. I will suggest not to order. Doesn’t look like came from tandoor. No South Indian cuisine options. So if coming with family and someone like South Indian , then no option Good staff. Always checks with you on your status"

"The food was amazing and the service was even better. The staff was so kind. Seriously the best Indian Food we have ever had and plenty to take to go for the next day! This was our first time eat here but will definitely be going into our rotation of Dallas favorites!!"
