Chef Dinesh Cafe - Johns Creek

This is a fantastic spot for lunch or dinner! I really enjoyed the ambiance. The food was excellent, especially the lamb chops. The biryani was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I suppose that’s how we Indians like it. The naan and goat curry were absolutely delicious. The service was friendly as well. I highly recommend Dinesh Cafe!

On the positive side, I thoroughly enjoyed the dal makhni and malai kofta. The dal makhni had a unique twist that made it even tastier. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend the paneer makhni, as it was not authentic at all. It lacked the usual cashew gravy and cream, and instead, was made with a sour tomato sauce that did not taste good. The vegetarian main course menu primarily features standard dishes like aloo and baingan, and I felt it could benefit from a wider selection of paneer dishes. I was particularly surprised that kadhai paneer was missing from their offerings. Overall, the food is good, and the ambiance is nice, but improvements can be made in portion sizes and menu variety.

The food was really disappointing. The Manchurian balls were undercooked and the tomato soup was terrible. I can't understand how they struggle with making even basic tandoori chicken. While the food may look appealing, the taste is lacking. The biryani seemed like it had just been reheated. The only dishes worth trying here are the dessert and Chicken 65.
