Absolutely delicious! I'd heard nothing but good things about Spicy Chowk, so we decided to stop by for lunch. The woman taking our order was so kind and helpful, answering all of our questions and pointing out which menu dishes she'd recommend. We ordered the Butter Chicken, Garlic Naan, and Aloo Gobi Masala, and every plate was so flavorful and filling. (I wish I had a better picture, but everything was so good we had already started to eat before I thought of taking one, sorry!) We were even given small cups of hot chai as we waited for our order. We definitely plan on coming back, 10/10!

Some of the most flavorful and well-spiced Indian food in Denton hands down. While the atmosphere is a bit basic and menus lacking photos, none of that matters when the food is just that dang good. The appetizer chicken lollipops were probably the tastiest Indian dish I've ever had. The sauce was unbelievable. Good enough to be an entree.

A good Indian-Nepali fusion restaurant in the heart of Denton. It’s a small but well maintained place with good food. We went for lunch and we had their butter momos (momos with butter chicken gravy), Chicken Thali set and Chicken lollipop gravy. We loved the momos and lollilop. Also a masala chai tea. Parking will be a task since there are not many parking spots but it is at a very accessible place. The staff was very friendly and courteous. They took care of all our needs.

Really enjoyed the food! The fried rice was amazing, and although the baby corn Manchurian was a very salty, the overall experience was great. The lady staff was very polite and friendly. Loved trying something different—will definitely come again!

Boyfriend and I decided to try a new place with no looking at menu’s beforehand , ended up at Spicy Chowk and we were pleasantly surprised with this place! Amazing food, great service and very informative on the menu. I got the chicken korma and boy got the saag, both were so good and the medium spicy on mine was just perfect. If you’re looking for good and affordable Indian or Chinese cuisine (they have that but we didn’t try it) COME HERE!!!

Super good food! I got chicken fried rice with extra egg; amazing seasoning! My husband got jhatka chicken! He’s picky on his food, and he says it’s amazing! Best flavor! Would definitely come back here!

Second time here. Even better than the first! Wife was craving their Butter Momo. We opted for the veggie dumplings for the momo. So good with just a slight kick of heat but very flavorful. Lots of butter sauce which I enjoyed eating with the garlic naan bread. We shared an appetizer and an entree and still had food leftover to take home. Highly recommend!

Our 1st experience eating Nepalese food and it was delicious! Chicken Chili Momo and Lamb Choila Set with garlic naan. We will definitely be back.
