GoliSoda Mckinney Reviews
This is easily one of the best restaurants in town. The ambiance has a great vibe, comfortable seating, and even bar stools with a cocktail menu if you’re in the mood for a bar-style experience. The food is top notch. The Rameswaram Masala Dosa was the highlight - perfectly crispy outside, soft inside, buttery, and the masala was cooked just right and full of flavor. A total must-try. The Karimnagar fried wings were another standout - some of the best wings we’ve had, packed with amazing Indian flavors. They even have a live pani puri counter, which was such a fun touch! The Vijayawada biryani was unique compared to other places - subtle but rich in flavor. Service was fast, prices felt worth it, and the lady owner was incredibly friendly and welcoming, with great recommendations. We took a long drive from Carrollton but absolutely worth it! Definitely a must-visit spot!
If you’re looking for authentic Rameshwaram dosa and ghee idly in Dallas, Golisoda Restaurant is the place to go. The dosa is perfectly crispy and the ghee idly is soft, flavorful, and made with pure ghee, which you can really taste. The food feels very authentic and reminds you of traditional South Indian flavors. The quality, taste, and freshness make the whole experience excellent. Highly recommend this place for anyone who loves genuine South Indian food. Definitely a five-star experience.
So glad they started the breakfast buffet at Goli Soda. For the price, it’s honestly one of the best buffets around here. The idly was incredibly soft, the pongal was flavorful, and the Mysore bonda was crispy and delicious. And the benne dosa? Easily the highlight of the meal.
Enjoyed at Golisoda today watching T20 World Cup finals! Great arrangements and food excellent! Had lot of fun! Thanks Krishna for your hospitality. Had gone earlier also for dinner. Great place!
Great experience! The breakfast buffet had a wide variety of delicious options and everything was fresh and well prepared. The ambiance was pleasant and the staff were very friendly and attentive. What made the visit even better was that they were showing the cricket match on the big screen, which created a lively and fun atmosphere for all the cricket fans. Enjoying a great breakfast while watching the match was the perfect combination. Highly recommend this place for both the food and the experience! 🏏🍳😊
Just tried Golisoda in Dallas and it’s officially one of my new favorite spots for authentic Indian food! 🇮🇳✨ Their breakfast buffet is amazing and very reasonably priced, with a wide variety of fresh South Indian dishes that taste just like homemade. From fluffy idlis and crispy dosas to flavorful chutneys and sambar, everything was fresh, authentic, and super satisfying. For lunch, they serve authentic Indian meals packed with bold desi flavors. The spices, aroma, and presentation really capture the essence of traditional Indian cooking. You can tell the food is made with care and real ingredients. The vibe is catchy, colorful, and full of desi energy—great music, fun atmosphere, and a place where you actually enjoy hanging out while eating. If you're in the Dallas area, this place is definitely worth checking out. Look out Dallas — Golisoda is bringing the real desi food experience! 🔥
This restaurant offers a truly exceptional dining experience. The culinary artistry is evident in every dish—authentic, delicious, and masterfully prepared. The live music provided a brilliant, energetic soundtrack that complemented the cozy and inviting attic ambiance perfectly. Remarkably, my party stayed for over five hours, completely engaged and entertained throughout. As a Dallas resident of ten years, this stands out as a uniquely captivating visit. I am already looking forward to my next reservation!
They recently resumed back serving Breakfast, Veg Thaali for Lunch and also Snacks. Took my family for Breakfast, what an amazing experience we had. They have total 10 varieties to choose from and surprisingly their price is so affordable, you pick any one item only for $4.97. My kids loved the Idly, their Idly is amazing. Their Veg Thaali is amazing too, I tried and the price is for $7.97. On the price point and their quality and taste is top notch. Must Visit place. Kudos to the team Golisoda!
I was there on a weekend for dinner. The server was very friendly and responsive she recommended us few dishes and went through various options. We ordered lotus stem veg appetizer, chicken lollipop, crispy corn, mutton biryani, chicken fried rice .The lotus stem appetizer and chicken fried rice were the star of the evening very well flavored and seasoned they were not dozed with oil simple and delicious flavors. We did enjoy the other dishes too. Overall for the price point and the food provided I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is interested in a sports bar vibe place.
We had an amazing time at Golisoda in Frisco! The food was absolutely delicious. The live music added such a wonderful vibe to the evening energetic yet relaxing, making it a perfect place to unwind with family and friends. The ambiance was lively, the staff were warm and attentive, and the whole experience felt vibrant and memorable.
Tasty offerings, great jalapeño mojito, crispy corn is the star! Tandoori Moms, Curry Leaf Chicken, Chicken Soup, Hariyali Paneer are awesome! Despite not finding reservation, we were given a place guaranteed with nice privacy for our group. Great service, and speed in service as well. Recommend highly for personal attention.
GoliSoda is an awesome place place for South Indian food. Amazing customer service . They didn’t cut corners anywhere.Inside seating, cleanness, Ambience , Quality, portion size and price is very good. The place has underestimated look due to a corner building but inside is spacing and amazing I ordered Pongal and filter coffee and it was very good. Only one suggestion regarding filter coffee add a Madras variant to your Menu
Loved the vibe. I was here with my family and it was super busy. Ordered Karimnagar chicken, shrimp and fish appetizers and they were great. However I felt wings quantity were less. DJ was awesome and Thoroughly enjoyed it. Krishna was helping me and he was a great host and patiently handling all the customers and busy place. He did great job taking care of us. Vani was serving us, she was patiently handling all the orders on a busy day and she did great.
Good place for some live music, dance on some days and definitely spicy Indian food along with a decent collection of drinks. Loved their Lotus Stem prep and the tiger prawns. The Garlic Naan was quite soft and well made too. Decent amount of parking and ample seats make this a good place for a weekend party.
Our experience at Goli Soda Frisco was decent but overall average. While the food came out quickly for some items, other dishes were delivered slowly, which was a bit frustrating. Some of the food was enjoyable, but nothing really stood out. The momos were way too spicy for our taste, and a few other dishes lacked flavor. The soda, however, was good and refreshing, which was one of the highlights of the visit. Service was fine, and the fast turnaround for some items was a plus. They also mentioned that if 15 people left a review, we would get a gift card, but we never received it, which was disappointing. Overall, it felt like a solid 3-star experience—good for a quick stop, but there’s room for improvement.
I was there on a weekday for dinner. They had multiple seating options we choose the one inside closer to the projector. Very clean and comfortable seating arrangement. The server was very friendly and responsive she recommended us few dishes and went through various options. We ordered mutton pepper fry, chicken lollipop, crispy corn, mutton biryani, chicken fried rice and chicken pulav. The mutton pepper fry and chicken fried rice were the star of the evening very well flavored and seasoned they were not dozed with oil simple and delicious flavors. We did enjoy the other dishes too. Overall for the price point and the food provided I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is interested in a sports bar vibe place.
My first impression after I entered this place was it was too loud. I have been to many such places but always enjoyed music this place felt very very loud with the music, to explain better we were not even able to order food, we have to shout to order. For such a place I would not expect to have it as self service , not just ordering the food but also taking it to our table after we receive the order. Like if we order 5 items we have to go 5 times to get the food. Next the appearance vs the taste. It looks great buts taste was not up to the mark. We ordered karimnagar chicken wings and chicken tikka masala which were ok that’s the reason for the 2 stars instead of one. The Vada Pav slider presentation was so good that after I had my first bite lost all of it. First it was cold and not fresh. The egg dum biryani tasted like tomato curry with boiled egg and rice. I would not go to this place again for anything.
Today visited this place for break fast buffet and had a very disappointing experience. The food quality was very poor, and many dishes did not taste fresh. It seemed like there was little attention given to maintaining good flavor or proper preparation. Another major issue was the crowd management. The place was extremely crowded, and the staff did not seem prepared to handle the number of guests. The buffet area became messy, making it difficult to get food comfortably. Overall, the experience was frustrating due to the bad food and poor organization. I hope the management improves both the food quality and how they manage large crowds in the future. Strongly do not recommend this place.
Terrible service. We had a very bad experience at this restaurant. The food was spoiled and tasted off, which is a serious health concern. When I tried to inform the staff, they were dismissive and didn’t take any action. This level of service is unacceptable. We left our food like as it is. Please do not go and recommend.
I had placed an order for chicken fry piece biryani over the phone, and the staff member who took my order clearly mentioned that it would include biryani rice with fry pieces. However, when I received the order, I was given chicken pulav instead. I was very sad to open the box and see the food which I was not ordered. I went back to the restaurant to clarify the issue, and instead of acknowledging the mistake, the front-desk staff member responded rudely and insisted that it was biryani rice, even though it was clearly pulav. I understand that mistakes can happen, but the rude attitude and refusal to accept the error were very disappointing and unacceptable. Please look into this matter, as customer service and honesty are just as important as food quality
