Bikanervala Irving

I recently had breakfast at Bikanerwala, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. If you’re craving authentic Indian flavors in a clean, vibrant setting, this place should be at the top of your list. We ordered puri sabji, chole bhature, a variety of chaat, and tea—each item was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. The puri was hot and fluffy, served with a well-seasoned aloo sabji that had just the right amount of heat. The chole bhature was equally impressive—crispy bhature with rich, aromatic chole. The chaat was a burst of textures and tangy flavors, and the tea was a comforting finish, brewed to perfection. The ambiance was clean and lively, and service was quick despite the morning rush. Prices were reasonable considering the quality and variety offered. I strongly recommend Bikanerwala for anyone looking for a hearty and satisfying Indian breakfast. It’s a perfect blend of tradition, taste, and value.

We took take out of aloo tikki chat, vada pav, and a fresh lime soda (not pictured). It had that Desi vibe going. The sweet section looked amazing but they didn’t have the sweet I really wanted, so skipped it this time. Prices seem to be a little over the top for the taste. They were giving out motichoor ladoo on occasion of Mothers Day and it tasted really good. The vada pav was amazing and I really enjoyed it. The aloo tikki that was so-so. Not so great as to lick the bowl clean. Will have to try more items to decide if it’s worth the hype or not.

We came here to have chaat from Frisco. Ordered samosa chaat and dahi puri. The first reaction after eating dahi puri was that I've had better in other places. Samosa chaat was average. Samosa was refried, over-fried. The color was dark brown, and the taste was slightly burnt. Expectations were high, and taste wasn't good. Wish they made food taste better..

We had a great experience at this restaurant. The ambience was pleasant, and the food was delicious. We ordered Pav Bhaji and Falooda—both were flavorful and well-prepared. The Falooda could be even better with a little less semiya. Still, it's one of the best places for an evening snack with authentic North Indian taste. Definitely deserving of a 5-star rating!

It's nearly always packed here. We've been here multiple times and our favorites are Chhole Bhature, Chat, Deluxe thali. Their Khandvi is the best. The sweets are of good quality and we like all the sweets we have tried so far.

Walking into Bikanervala, we were in the mood for some serious street food. The chole bhature arrived first, and it didn’t disappoint—fluffy, golden bhature with spicy chole that hit all the right notes. The paneer paratha followed, well-stuffed and perfectly cooked, but the raita was a real letdown. It was as if someone had mixed yogurt with regret—bland and watery, doing absolutely nothing to complement the dish. Fortunately, the dal makhani that came with the paratha was a game-changer—rich, creamy, and full of flavor, making us rethink why we even bothered with the raita in the first place. The samosa chaat, with its crunch and spice, had potential but fell short, lacking that zing to take it to the next level. The raj kachori, though, was a bit of a disaster—soggy and tasteless, it seemed like a good idea on paper but didn’t quite work in practice. Amidst this mix of hits and misses, the vada pav made a solid impression—spicy, flavorful, and exactly what you’d expect from a good vada pav. But then, just when we thought things were stabilizing, the lemon soda showed up—a drink so bad it felt like the universe was playing a cruel joke. One sip, and it was clear: this wasn’t a refreshing drink, this was a wake-up call. It tasted like someone had mixed soda with a lemon-flavored cleaning solution—sharp, fizzy, and confusing. To top it all off, the service, swamped with orders, managed to forget a few of ours, leaving us staring at the empty table, wondering if we had been forgotten too. In the end, Bikanervala was a bit of a mixed bag—some dishes were winners, others were, well, not so much. If you go, choose wisely, and if someone offers you the lemon soda—politely decline and maybe point them to the nearest exit.

The food is extremely mid! Oversaturated with oil, absolutely basic taste, and the quantity is very low for the cost that is being charged. There is absolutely nothing ‘deluxe’ about this $18 thaali. Even if you combine all the gravies and daal together, it is less than a single gravy that you pay way less in a normal restaurant. Will never visit here at least for food. Sweets are good though.

The best Bengali sweets ever had in the states. Absolutely delicious. Mouth watering, made with pure love. The chena/khoya sweets simply melt in your mouth. Soft, fresh, and pocket friendly. Feels like home away from home. If you are fond of Indian sweets you must make a visit to the Bikanervala. Be it take away or dine in, the food is nothing but quality exceptional. My personal favorite Bengali sweets.

Very good taste. The space is a little , very few tables. Wide variety of street food and sweets. Chole bhature is must try. Average pricing. Thali was not that great. Will definitely go again and try some more dishes. Would highly recommend this place, totally worth visit.

I agree with many of the reviews here regarding the use of frozen items. I have visited this place multiple times and tried a variety of items, including snacks, sweets, and main dishes such as the Thali and Tandoori Platter. The sweets are undoubtedly some of the best in the area, but the pricing is quite steep. For instance, charging $18 per pound for a basic sweet like Peda seems excessive. Among the snacks, the Chole Bhature were quite good, and the Samosa Chaat was decent as well. However, the Kachori in the Raj Kachori was not fresh, which was disappointing. When it comes to the Thali and Tandoori Platter, it turned out really bad . The naan and curries clearly seemed to be prepared from frozen packets, and the Tandoori Platter lacked flavor and variety, featuring only paneer and a few pieces of capsicum with a very basic taste. Overall, quite disappointed with the quality, especially considering the reputation of this chain.
