Indian cuisine reflects a 5000-year history of various groups and cultures interacting with the subcontinent, leading to diversity of flavors and regional cuisines found in modern-day India. Indian cuisine involves the use of herbs and spices. The skill of using Indian spices comes not only with knowing what spices to use, but how to use them. Spices enhance flavor and add that “zing” to the food. . Our chefs at ISTA are masters of controlling the blend of spices Iṣṭa(इस्टा) : (Sanskrit संस्कृतम्): desired; beloved; dear; At Ista, it is our endeavor to present to you the flavors of India,

This is a really good Indian restaurant in Flower Mound and a great spot for both casual dining and group gatherings. One of the biggest pluses is the plenty of parking available, which makes visiting hassle-free.
The food is excellent, especially the mutton and chicken biryani—both are flavorful, well-cooked, and clearly made with quality ingredients. Portions are satisfying and the taste feels authentic.
The dine-in space is spacious, clean, and comfortable, making it a pleasant place to sit and enjoy a meal. The layout works especially well for large parties, family get-togethers, or celebrations.
Overall, a solid choice for Indian cuisine in the area, and highly recommended if you’re looking for good food, ample parking, and a welcoming space for bigger groups.

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Ista Indian Cuisine in Flower Mound! As a lover of authentic Indian flavors, their lunch buffet is an hidden gem with its incredible variety and freshness. The paneer tikka masala was creamy and perfectly spiced, the tandoori chicken had that smoky char I crave, and the saag paneer was rich and flavorful without being overpowering.The chole – tender chickpeas in a savory gravy that paired amazingly with the fluffy puri. I also loved the crispy samosas and the tangy golgappa for that fun burst of taste. Everything was hot, well-seasoned, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The staff was friendly and attentive, keeping the buffet stocked and the dining area spotless. The cozy atmosphere with the wooden “Ista” sign adds a nice touch. If you’re in the area, this is a must-visit for an unbeatable Indian buffet – 5 stars all the way!

I DoorDash this place all the time. Phenomenal! The buffet is insane. The chicken is always perfect tender, I’d go to war for the tuna in the buffet, the daal is so flavorful. They literally have something for everyone too, and I think they are the only place with a kid mild option which is sooo thoughtful. I also appreciate the option of South Indian food too as a pani poori lover. Everyone is so kind in there too. I have social anxiety and had such a comfortable experience. I wish I took pictures but I was too hungry.

Had a buffet on a weekend. Food was delicious and service was great. Would have been even better if there were more vegetarian dishes. But, overall like it

I’ve had this restaurant on my list to visit for a long time and finally had the opportunity to. I was instantly disappointed. The buffet spread looked good but the food itself was disappointing. The food was too bland. They had chole bhatura and the bhaturas were crispy, and chole was bland. I had to add onions and lime on the side and it still didn’t do justice. They had sort of aloo gobi that looked so watery and again – bland.
The aloo gobi tasted nothing like aloo gobi and it was more of a mush, even serving it on to the plate mushed it up. The paneer butter masala was sweet. Kids actually liked that, but not the adults. The Gajjar ka halwa was very good and that’s the reason why I gave the restaurant 2 stars. The Biriyani was dry, but the only item that had any taste or spice in it. It was more of a pulav than Biriyani but still tasted okayish. The rice was dried off and when eating it was getting dried pieces. They had some sort of beans fry and it looked too unappetizing to try it.
I’m not sure about the meat options, but I think they might have been better as people were going back for seconds. If you are a vegetarian and a die hard Indian food fan this place isn’t for you. Loved the tables decor at the restaurant and the songs coming from the television. Not sure if I’ll be back though.

Prices gone up, quality of food down. Service great. Atmosphere great.
For the prices of vegetarian menu currently served here, the food quality is not good at all anymore. ($18 for Kadai paneer but the gravy has no spices at all, only a smooth paste, paneer and a cube of capsicum).
It used to be a good restaurant around but quality of food has degraded way too much. Probably not great for vegetarians anymore.

This was my first visit, and we are already talking about the next visit! I am not an experimental kind of eater, so I was pleasantly surprised to see so many different options. I don’t remember the names of everything, but trust me, you’ll definitely find something to love. The service was wonderful and the food was delicious!

I ordered a tandoori chicken and cauliflower fried rice on an offer of buy 1 get 1 offer , tandoori chicken was good but the cauliflower fried rice was too salty , and also the packing part was very worse , tandoori chicken was packed in brown cardboard boxes and then all the food was placed in the brown cover , the oil and the moisture content from the food was all over the packings , and the base of the cover was torn , I was disappointed with the cauliflower fried rice and packing

I recently visited Ista Indian Cuisine for their buffet on Weekend and I have to say the experience was very disappointing. The soup was the worst I have ever tasted—watery, bland, and completely lacking any real flavor. For a restaurant that claims to serve authentic Indian cuisine, this was extremely underwhelming. They didn’t even kept the Veg Biryanis for the Vegetarian people
Just the white rice and Lemon rice which was not expected. The Poori is like for kids I believe because the size of the poori is very very small they made like 8 slices like Pizza on the whole round poori.
Overall it was worst experience
I went on weekend because the staff mentioned they’ll have 35+ items during Friday, Saturday and Sunday but it’s not worth going

We had ordered mutton chops, mutton kadai and garlic naan. The mutton kadai was all capsicum in onion paste gravy, this is not right when they charge almost 18$ . The garlic naan had uncooked raw garlic on top and the chips had a weird masala flavor. We though to try it and may be never again.
Updating my review to 4 stars after I had tried ordering in again, the mutton biriyani, chicken lollipop and rasmalai – the food tasted amazing not sure what magic changes happen but kudos to Ista Indian cuisine. Loved the flavors. Keep on, surely a ‘will visit again’ place now.
