We had an excellent dining experience at ISTA Indian Cuisine – Southlake. They serve high-quality halal meat, and the freshness of the food was evident in every dish.
The Chicken 555 was very flavorful, with chicken that was perfectly cooked—fresh, tender, and nut-free, which was a big plus for us.
The Mutton Ghee Roast truly stood out. The meat was exceptionally tender and juicy, and we appreciated that they offer spicy versions for adults and a mild option for kids. It paired beautifully with their soft, bullet buttery naan.
The Fry Piece Chicken Pulav was another highlight. The chicken was well-marinated and expertly fried, with spices that were perfectly balanced. What impressed us most was how the rich, ghee-infused rice complemented the chicken, creating a well-seasoned and harmonious dish.
We also sampled vegetarian items. The Gongura Stuffed Mirchi Bajji, prepared fresh to order, was outstanding and easily the best vegetarian dish we tried. The Onion Pakoda was a great side snack while waiting for the main courses—perfect for sharing and casual conversation.
The restaurant is BYOB, which made our Sunday evening with friends even more enjoyable. We also heard they’ll be adding new screens soon, which should make the experience even better.
Highly recommend this spot for fresh ingredients, authentic flavors, and a relaxed, fun atmosphere.

We tried the Ista weekend lunch buffet in Southlake today ($15.99), and overall it was a decent experience, especially considering it’s a soft opening.
Food review:
Among the starters, the cauliflower fry and fried potatoes were good. The onion pakoda was a bit bland. Curry leaf chicken lacked the distinct curry leaf flavor, but the fish fry and chatpata shrimp were well done. I didn’t try the tandoori chicken, but my wife and kids said it was good.
For the main dishes, Chicken Tikka Masala, Andhra Chicken, and Bunna Goat Curry were average. The chicken biryani stood out and was good.
I didn’t try the desserts, but my wife and kids liked the rice kheer; the carrot halwa was okay. The masala tea could use some improvement.
The owner was very friendly and mentioned this was their soft opening. He encouraged honest feedback so they can improve across all areas, which we appreciated.

I was here for a lunch buffet and the items provided were amazing!! They did provide a lot of items for $12.99.
Taste: All the dishes were delicious.
Service: The service was excellent! They were patient and polite.
I honestly didn’t know there was a hidden Indian restaurant in Southlake with so affordable prices.

The food was the highlight—beautifully presented, full of authentic flavors, and perfectly balanced. The butter chicken was rich and creamy, the biryani fragrant and flavorful, and the naan was soft with just the right amount of char. Every dish tasted freshly prepared and thoughtfully seasoned.
The ambiance was cozy and inviting, making it a great spot for both casual dinners and special occasions. Overall, this restaurant offers delicious food, great service, and wonderful atmosphere. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to friends!

Paneer butter masala was superb. Ambience was outstanding, service was nice they gave me butter naan immediately. Prateeka did a good job by taking care of everything. Veg Manchuria, chole batura, chicken butter masala, mutton curry were good. Biryani tasted a little unique, this flavour was awesome. Mango lassi was outstanding and is a must try.
