101 | Paratha

If you're in Valley Ranch, you've gotta check out Paratha 101. I recently went, and seriously, the food was a hit. The Butter Chicken Paratha was perfectly savory, loaded with flavor, and just so satisfying. Then, for a sweet finish, the Gulab Jamun Paratha was absolutely delicious and sweet – a really fun and unique twist! Beyond the awesome food, the place itself is really nice. They've got comfortable seating, and the service was super friendly and welcoming. It's just a great spot all around for a casual, tasty meal. Definitely give Paratha 101 a try!

We went there one Saturday afternoon, and the place had only the buffet, no a la carte. Though initially a bit skeptical about a paratha centric buffet, it turned out to be pretty good. Both veg and non veg options were decent. But the stars were the palak muttar, deal makhni, channa and chicken dishes. The mango lassi too was outstanding. That's the reason for the 4 stars. Go only when you are really hungry.

101 Paratha is an absolute must-visit on weekends! They offer an incredible selection, from a huge variety of vegetarian parathas to chicken and even a unique sweet kalakand paratha. Every bite was delicious, and it's especially exciting to experience North America's first and only paratha buffet here. The friendly staff and well-maintained establishment made our visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Loved the food. Parathas were very delicious. Fast service as well

Freshly cooked Paratha’s buffet with several sides and 8 to 10 different Achars!

Finger licking delicious foods. The food we ordered was fresh and tasted as if it was made to order. None of it was greasy or spicy. Rumali roti was pretty soft and parts has were flakey. Overall great experience..

One of the Best Places for Indian Food. This place serves some of the most authentic and delicious Indian food around. Every dish is packed with flavor and made with fresh ingredients. There are plenty of options to choose from both food and beverages. So there’s something for everyone. The ambience is warm and welcoming, and the staff are friendly and attentive. Highly recommended for anyone craving real Indian cuisine.

We tried different parathas and really appreciated how they customized them exactly that was a nice touch. There was a small issue as we found a hair in one of the parathas, but it was promptly replaced, which we appreciated. Please do make sure such things don’t happen again. Service was excellent and also got a discount,which really impressed us.

I'm a fan of the classic plain, aloo, and paneer parathas, so discovering a menu boasting 101 varieties was an exciting surprise! The parathas here are massive--far from the typical size--and are served pizza-style, cut into slices. It's a unique presentation that adds to the fun. There is an accompanying achar bar, offering a variety of pickles, along with sides like raita and another complementary dish to enhance the flavors. I highly recommend coming with a group or opting for the buffet to sample a variety, as even one paratha is generous enough to feed two to three people. We tried #6, the classic aloo paratha, and #29, the paneer makhani paratha--both were delicious! The daal makhani was rich and flavorful, though I found the amritsari pindi chole a bit on the salty side. If I lived closer, this would undoubtedly be a regular spot for me. The variety, quality, and portion sizes make it a must-visit for paratha lovers.

This is a place dedicated to Indian stuffed breads (paratha) of all kinds, 101 to be precise. The ambience is cool but casual, the stuffed bread of your choice is served with butter, yogurt, one side (lentil gravy/ cheakpeas gravy/ spinach gravy) and Indian pickle (mango pickled in oil). Paratha is traditional Indian bread, mostly from north India and eaten during breakfast or midday snack, pretty much any time of the day. They also have great shakes (mango lassi/ traditional lassi (yogurt drink). The parathas can be vegetarian (filled with potato, onion, green peas, qualiflower, daikon radishes, ...) in non vegetarian options they have chicken, lamb, eggs ...

Took to go orders from 101 paratha before our flight from dfw. Ordered 2 parathas - a potato and cheese paratha for the kid and butter chicken paratha for the adults. The paratha come with a side of chole/daal makhani. The size is humongous, easily sufficient for 2-3 adults. The paratha for kids was good. Was mild as requested and good for a plain potato and cheese paratha. The butter chicken paratha however tasted nothing like butter chicken. It was basically mince chicken stuffed in a paratha. And it was very dry. Wasn't pleased about it. We had the chole as a side which was good.

The parathas itself are pretty decent, just know that it's almost a medium pizza size and not an individual size. So it's definitely shareable between two people. Also I prefer the paratha to be more blended with the dough instead of it being a filling giving it more of a quesadilla feel. The one plus point is that it comes with a side and raita which I can appreciate. The daal makhani and chicken curry side was good, I personally was not a fan of the chole. The service and ambiance is warm and cozy. I really liked their Achar Bar serving a variety of pickle which definitely is a good match when eating parathas!

Parathas were amazing!! You do need to dip it in something, as it's dry but that's how you should eat it. Each paratha comes with your choice of side (paneer, chola, daal, chicken). We got our plates relatively quick bc there wasn't too much of a crowd, but once it started picking up, we wanted to order dessert, but we were told it would be a 20 minute wait so we didn't get it. Not a huge deal, especially if you put in your order while you're eating your dinner.

Definitely a must place to try if you are in Irving! It was so hard to pick which ones to try and all the names are so clever - especially if you are into Bollywood since some were old movie references. We picked up three different kinds but the decor was pretty cute and the service for pick up was good. Out of the three, the almond chicken was pretty spicy so if you have a low tolerance, it would be hard to eat even with yogurt. The aloo and Gobi were in the vegetarian category and they were not that spicy. Captions in the pictures! I would definitely go back and to try their sister restaurant India 101.

My first experience of paratha was in Singapore which I loved so the idea of 101 Paratha sounded so intriguing to me. While the paratha style was different, I had a very pleasant experience overall. I got a vegetarian aloo ghobi paratha and it was overall really tasty with a nice yogurt dip. All their parathas do come with a side (I got daal) and there are also self serve pickled veggies available. The interior was very clean and aesthetically pleasant. Service was alright. Overall I would definitely recommend checking this place out if you love Indian style parathas. I do not think this would appeal to a wider audience though, so just be aware!

Definitely a must on the weekends if you want try different parathas. A huge section of vegetarian parathas available along with chicken paratha & also sweet kalakand paratha. Taste was really good. Paratha buffet @ 101 paratha is the first & only one in North America. We enjoyed every bit of it! Staff was very friendly & well maintained joint! HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!

I always want to support our community. This is a spot right near India 101 and I'm not sure if same owners but paratha sounded good to my parents so we came by to pick up some for dinner. Right next door is rumali and I wanted rumali roti. For paratha we decided on keema methi which I asked for the daba chicken. The lady taking the order said there's an up charge of $2 so it's better to get the pindi chole which is 8 oz of chole. The side order of 8 oz is 8.99. So I decided pindi. My parents got gobi with pindi chole. When it came out it was in small 4 oz containers so we were surprised. The staff kept insisting it was 8 oz and we just couldn't agree on that. They weren't filled fully either. They ended up giving us another container. When I got home I had to measure because it was driving me crazy, I filled 1/2 a cup and had 2 tablespoons leftover so definitely not 8 ounces. As a reminder - this place does close mid day so make sure you check the timings before heading their way to try out the food. Now to the good stuff. The keema methi parantha was spicy but keema was dry. The gobi parantha was perfect just like my mom makes it! The parantha comes with achar and raitha and butter. Overall I would love to get a good quantity for what I'm paying for. May or may not come back but a good spot to try once.

Firstly, wow! 101 parathas! You gotta be kidding me! I came with my friends here and definitely didn't get disappointed! I'm fan of their Gobi paratha - tastes just right! I somewhat don't enjoy their chole as much but daal makhani is really tasty! You can also enjoy their variety of pickles in the restaurant! For the size of the paratha, the price seems a little high but I guess you get a good portion of side as well to compensate for the price! Overall, had a great experience! Love the vibe too!

I've been admittedly skeptical about the DFW food scene, but that was before I knew the desi food options in Irving are perhaps better than what you can find in NYC. On a foggy cold night, despite being groggy from an early flight, I felt compelled to make a pit stop to try one of their namesake 101 paratha varieties. I was reminiscing about my favorite Kulcha stand in Sarojini Nagar, so I had to go for the amritsari aloo paratha on this particular night. It was a bit challenging to eat given how thick it was, but the flavors were very good, and I alternated between bites with makhan or dahi. All that being said, I think the star of the show might be their achaar bar! What more could you want than 8 varieties of achaar to enhance the flavors of your parantha.

Great food, the quality of food, options were just amazing. Such a unique restaurant option.

The food was nice, side has great spice (not too hot). Service extremely friendly and helpful. They really wanted to get my order perfect. Will definitely be back!!

The menu is a creative addition to a world of paratha's! Takes me to my childhood when Ammi made ajwain paratha to help heal my stomach upset and creatively the menu has it as "Nani ka nuskha" ! Hats off to the 101 paratha team. The paratha we tried #71 on menu is very tasty and the accompaniments are very delicious and compliment the paratha. A good choice for kids and also to treat yourself. Ordered a pickup but when visited the restaurant the ambiance is cozy, corner cafe vibe with a friendly staff. The buffet provides you an opportunity to enjoy variety and make your taste buds aligned to what you may like. kudos to the restaurant owner and staff for a very creative selection and mouthwatering experience and culinary plus enthusiastic experience in ordering the paratha!

It's a buffet concept where they have 6-7 varieties of parantha in the buffet along with dal, chhole, rice, some sort of chicken, salad, pickle and raita. Most of the parantha's in the buffet today were just so so. They had aalo, mooli, gobi, chana, paneer, chicken paranthas today. Apart from the masaledaar aalo parantha, everything was just okay. The dal makhani was good. All in all, skip it.

Have you ever been to a restaurant and wondered, what's the meaning behind the name?? Welcome to 101 Paratha, where the name couldn't be any more obvious. They literally have 101 different types of Paratha!! Mind-boggling!!! I was curious to try out this place and check the exhaustive offering, so I did one weekend afternoon with a few friends. They had lunch buffet available so we capitalized on it (we couldn't possibly try out every single item amongst the 3 of us, duh!). I was a little skeptic, at first, about the 101 different parathas, but one look at the menu quickly shut those doubts to bed. There were some parathas that I hadn't heard of and some I didn't think would be possible to make. The buffet had about 15 or more different paratha options and we tried to get a piece of each. Obviously, there were some that we enjoyed more than the others. They have both vegetarian and non vegetarian options along with drinks; mango lassi and masala chai were our choices. The parathas were warm and tasty, the drinks were fantastic especially the mango lassi which was refreshing. The ambiance was contemporary and the place is big enough to accommodate big parties. Although the buffet was good, it was pretty expensive. You do get to try a variety of different parathas but those fill you up very quickly and you might not get the chance to try them all. However, I'd argue that it's worth the money given the sheer quantity and quality of this restaurant. There's something for everyone to try out and is suitable for family, friends and colleagues.

The food is always delicious. It's clean and the staff is always prompt. The Dal makhani is better than many high end restaurants.

Service was very good - parantahs were very good but for the stuffed kulchas -there was a lot of Maida and little undercooked

Best place to have paranthas. Deliciously made and variety that you get here is so amazing! The sides that you get only make the food great and service is good too.

Quite a change from usual fare served by most of the Indian restaurants in Dallas. We ordered 2 parathas and both were good. Not so crowded on weekends and ample parking... Folks looking for fiery fare should go somewhere else, if you still choose to stick around there are 2 - 3 parathas to try from...

Amazing food! We had really good tandoori parathas along with some delicious biriyani and butter chicken. So many good parathas to try. A must go to

Thought this was an excellent place until I placed a to go order and my food was trashed because it was made too early. When I called the manager told me he would not remake the food or refund my money. When my friend when to get my food the restaurant representative tried to take it out the trash to give it to her. I called the supervisor and showed proof of the bank draft and she refunded my money.

Amazing food, great service Loved the freshly made parathas that came with raita, butter and side gravy. They also have achar bar Service was great. Highly recommended

Beyond expensive for what they give you. Paratha was dry. Said it was filled with vegetables but really was a flat tortilla. Ordered a sweet one and all it had was condensed milk and was rough to chew. Paid almost $38 for and regret it. Never agsin

Growing up in India, I used to love having paranthas on weekend mornings! The weekend parantha buffet at 101 Parantha brings back those same memories for me. Paranthas are delicious, the white butter tastes just like back home and the achar bar is very cool addition to it all. A must try imo!

Absolutely amazing experience, the food was great but the service was even better Aishwarya was our server and she just is so super kind and went above and beyond to assist. Wow experience all the way around, but seriously she was great and the food was fantastic. They had this cute section in the corner with a bunch of achar(pickle) try the lime one it was our family favorite. Thanks again Aishwarya!!

We went for the weekend parantha buffet. The spread was really good with an assortment of various kinds of paranthas, sides, white butter, green chilies, raita and the achar bar. For the beverages there was mango lassi, buttermilk, nimbu paani, tea and coffee. The hot paranthas and sides (dal, chole, chicken curry) are delicious and reminded me of Delhi! The kalakand parantha for dessert was also really good too. Highly recommend this place for a weekend brunch.

First time here at 101 Paratha and this place was so good! The girls up front was welcoming had a smile and also invited me to look at their foods. They had varieties of naan type of breads, sweet savory, spicy plan and several Indian dishes to go with. The service was good and atmosphere was nice too with the umbrellas. I would recommend to give this place a try. Oh and price was very reasonable.

I enjoy indian cusine from the masala curries, biryani, and naan. I recently tried paratha, which is a layered croissant version of Indian naan bread. So when I saw that there was a shop specializing in parath!, I was super excited. Disappointingly, the restaurant was less than average. Pros: Clean and nice area of irving Nice and friendky hostess Wasn't crowded with only one other couple. Sides include some curry dipping sauce with good spice level.. Cons: Paratha was not fluffy. Texture was like pizza dough. Which is ok, if you want Naan bread, but the paratha I have enjoyed is indian Croissant heaven. Too many options to choose, made me dizzy. Service slow, only one other party, but my to go order took over 20 mins. I asked for a sample of the paratha bed after l already placed my order. They decline. If the paratha was tasty, i was ready to buy morebtov tkae home. ... I may try again when I see more reviews.

If you are Dallas done go without trying this paratha. Absolutely amazing. Will not disappoint.

Food: aloo pyaz parantha very good taste Service: good Location: easy parking Nice restaurant

Really good variety of paratha for a decent price! The wheat dough is super fresh and buttery and flakey. Service is really good as well!

A solid three and half stars for my in-person dining experience here. We went on a Saturday evening and the restaurant was moderately crowded. Two harried servers seemed to be doing all the service and they were very busy. We were seated at a small table for two and it took a bit of time to be able to place our orders. Our food came quickly though and was tasty. I ordered a 12 inch chicken achari stuffed paratha and my partner got the lamb stuffed one. We also got a side of chicken curry. We got raita and dal makhni as complimentary sides, and some pickles from the achar bar. The parathas were decent, though I liked the lamb option better...the chicken stuffing was too dry. The plates we were served on were very flimsy and my partner's plate started disintegrating half way though the meal! We were also given flimsy plastic silverware and plastic water glasses. Though the food was fine, the whole experience was chaotic and uncomfortable. I will get takeout from here next time and enjoy the food at home! Also, the buffet is only for lunch, not dinner.

This paratha restaurant is a great idea that's also well executed. We had an aloo achari paratha, a paneer hari mirch paratha, and mango lassis, all of which we enjoyed. Service is fast and friendly too.

Pretty good parathas . Not oily or heavy, great taste and right sized. Good variety of tasty Pickles. The sides were of decent proportion as well . One of the parathas was very low on salt , the server immediately took that back and got us a new one . No questions asked only an apology provided. This shows they care for their customers . Will definitely be going back .

I would say concept is nice . There are not many places where you will get paranthas. They have a lot of variety.It Takes 30-35 minutes to make(for our dine in we had to wait 50 minutes for the 1st paratha to come. We ordered 3 parathas.mooli, paneer and aaloo with sprouts . ALL the 3 paranthas tasted almost the same!!! Paranthas are served with butter. Aachar and raita(2oz each other i think) Sitting tables : a few indoor and mostly outdoor. Taste 3.5/5 Sitting area : 3/5 Service: 3/5 ( low rating just because of the wait time)

Horrible experience! Stay out of here after 9:00 pm entering. Restaurant attendants want their customers to complete their orders while waiting for tables to be cleaned up. The restaurant kitchen close sharp by 9:30 pm, and for us, they asked a least 7-8 times while we were deciding on the order for our seven members, including three kids. We decided to come out of that place and went next door. Management should handle this situation by stopping entering people after 9:00 pm.

Food tasted superb. Well behaved server. 1 paratha was enough for 2 of us. Definitely visit again!

Most of the vegetarian items like Aloo Paratha and innovative variations like Aloo Bikaneri were great. Gulab Jamun Paratha was also pretty good. Kalakand Paratha was a bit underwhelming. Service can be a bit too slow during busy times. The restaurant is well appointed and the wall art has been carefully curated.

HORRIBLE FOOD and the service is even worse. Went because a friend recommended it....completely baffled. Also the place felt very unhygienic and dirty.

For a place that focuses on parathas, not impressed. The sides were better tasting than the parathas itself. For myself would not come back again.

The meal was different from what I expected. The staff were nice and explained the menu and the acchar was pretty cool!

Me and my husband are obsessed trying foods he found out about Indian cuisine, so when he mentioned to me that he had found an amazing spot, AND it was a buffet, I just had to check it out for myself! The place itself is beautiful. The decorative style is almost like that of royalty, very clean, very classy; I loved the look of the place. We went for the dinner buffet on a Friday, and there was no much crowd. The wait wasn't very long at all. They have a cool selfie screen in the waiting area, and you can even send yourself the picture if you'd like. So yeah, that's pretty awesome (my husband did it). Now the food... goodness gracious. The food is fantastic! The variety of food here is great. Though the day we went it was more chicken than any other meat, they had numerous styles of it. Also plenty of vegetarian choices for meatless indulgers. I will say this, if spicy is not your thing, be leery most of the items here will not be spicy. They do have descriptions that explain spice level, but if you are a spicy lover like me then this is only the place to try the food for spice, it might not be your cup of tea; Not to say they don't have items that are not spicy, but while paying for a buffet, you will want to be able to enjoy what all it has to offer, or at least a large portion of it. Few items that are not good to have according to my opinion is fruit custard, dosa was cool by the time I served it into my plate the according to me the tiffin section was not good their malai kofta in vegetarian was amazing It is a little pricey at about roughly $25 a person, but I see that as a very fair price for what you are indulging in. They do many kinds of sweet and savory foods, all executed well. I like to get just a couple of bites of several items so that I can try more of the options before getting my fill. Finally, when you pay for your meal, there are little packs of mouth fresheners when you leave. Get one. It's some sort of candied spices. Yes, you read right. It's not your ordinary mouth freshener, but it is an experience in itself. They do it all well here. Try it. Treat yourself to something tasty!

Extremely delicious! We will be back for sure. I tried egg paratha and paneer paratha and it was good af

Ok I have been a long time costumer Like 80 parathas and counting Well stop counting I raved about The place and 4 of my friends drove down from Allen McKinney and frisco The Parathas were delicious and the service was fine Until i had almost an entire Parata left and wanted to a 'box' to take it to go . I was given 2 styrofoam boxes ( which I avoid and the Paratas were getting messed up as they are sliced ) asked for a cardboard box in which their paratas are always delivered or to go in . The server told me sorry we have a count for the boxes can't give you !!!! Seriously you lost a customer for life over a cardboard pizza box . Food wise I would give 4 stars but for this service 1 star that too not the server but the 'policy 'because its not letting me not choose zero . They reluctantly brought a cardboard box out once they heard me talk to my friends about how I wasn't coming back ever or ordering delivery , by then I had already packed it in styrofoam and repacking would ruin the slices as they will fall apart . The manager wasn't on site .

Yummy parathas, good service. Loved the packaging of Parathas for to go . It's a good size and well stuffed. One stop shop for parathas with the side of butter and sides, it's cherry on top.

Interior is well decorated and staff was friendly enough. But food was terrible. We ordered three different types of veg parathas, with chole, dal makhani, and Palak paneer. All the parathas basically tasted the same and truly had no flavor. Mango lassi was good.

Avoid go to 101 PARATHA if you can, not worth your money and time. There are not many options in the buffet!!! The paratha was very very bland and flavorless, and a huge disappointment!!! The paratha was so bland that we couldn't distinguish one flavor from another at all! When I asked if there are going to refill the chai tea and the waitress with glasses answered, "NO, there's no more chai refill!", with no apology or explanation of why no more refs! What the heck?! Is it a buffet place or not?! Then they just removed the chai container off the buffet table. Soon after, the same waitress to came to me said "Can you eat faster and finish your meal? We have a reservation waiting so we need you to be done." She didn't even pick up the finished plates from the table!). The same waitress talked to the hostess/cashier lady with a very bad attitude about us (we gave no idea who is the manager or the owner on site). This is unheard of and not how any restaurant wants to treat their customers! We were only there around 45 minutes or to an hour. I didn't see any signs posted anywhere saying all customers need to finish their meals within an hour. They seemed to single out our table and they didn't ask any other table to hurry up and finish their meals. No manager or the restaurant owner came over to apologize for the rudeness of the waitress or how their tasteless ways of running their business or keep their customers coming back! We will definitely NOT be supporting this business because there are so many other restaurants which value and treat their customers with respect.

This place is a gem with excellent options and amazing service. I would highly recommend Chai, Mooli Paneer Paratha cooked in Tandoor
