First Impressions: They have an extensive menu. However it lacks clarity (some items need descriptions and there's incorrect labeling). We also saw the menu had Food spots which ruined our first impressions. Pros: - Food was delicious, their in house goli soda was great. - Fast service Cons: - We were a party of 8 and were seated at the big marble table. We were not able to hear anything and passing food is a big hassle. For this reason, communication becomes very difficult here - Not adequately trained staff (they're nice but lack experience on how to attend customers)

Simply South is one of the busiest spots in town, often with a 45-minute wait on weekends—so plan ahead! The food is absolutely superb and bursting with flavor. Their chutneys and sambhar are hands-down the best I’ve had in all of Dallas, and I’ve tried many. The Tandoori Veggie Chaaps are a must-try—it’s now my son’s favorite! However, the service is below average and the cleanliness leaves much to be desired. It’s understandable that weekends are hectic, but this aspect is quite disappointing. Despite that, the place thrives purely because of its unbeatable, authentic taste. If they improve their service and cleanliness, it would take the dining experience to another level.

We had a wonderful experience dining at SimplySouth vegetarian restaurant! We were driving from New Mexico to Houston and heard about the irresistible Indian food scene in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and were game to try out some South Indian cuisine. While browsing for Indian restaurants, among the many options, we chose this restaurant – which appealed to us from the number of reviews and the elaborate and nicely done website that explained the food they heartily served. The website recommended we call and make a reservation, especially for the weekend. As we were getting closer, I called up and asked for a reservation, but I was told that online/phone reservations were full for the day. However, the lady was gracious to mention that we could walk in and check if tables were available and inquire about the wait times. We’re so glad we did – because the lunch we had was absolutely amazing! It was a vibrant celebration of flavors, colors, and comfort. The meal featured crispy poori, fragrant rice, and delicious vegetarian curries like creamy dal, spicy sambar, and green rice. The spread included crunchy papad, dry sweets, payasa and traditional South Indian sides that brought nostalgic warmth to our tastebuds. Every bite was rich in spice and soul – a wholesome, satisfying experience that truly stood out during our journey. Thanks to the young girl who served us today - Sheetal and the young man who seated us !

Simply South is a must-visit for authentic Indian food in Dallas. I arrived at 11 AM and was surprised to see other guests already seated. I started with the malai chaap appetizer—soft and served within 10 minutes—but the quick turnaround made me suspect it was frozen and reheated instead of being actually cooked in a tandoor, so I’d skip that if you’re after a truly authentic experience. I also tried the chhole bhature, which looked different from the menu picture. The dish came with what resembled puri instead of the expected two fluffy bhature, though both puri and chhole were good. The Rava masala dosa and ghee roast were outstanding, offering a perfect balance of flavor and generous portions. For a unique twist, I sampled the jackfruit biryani—a definite must-try with a surprisingly delightful taste—and the filter coffee turned out to be a real stealer. Though the food mostly impressed, the overall experience was marred by lapses in service and maintenance. I had to ask multiple times for silverware, the chutney stand was falling apart, and the restrooms were not well maintained—with one of the two sink faucets out of order. Additionally, the gulab jamun and rabri dessert were overly sweet, seemingly made with syrup and milkmaid instead of the balanced blend they typically offer. Overall, I recommend Simply South for its flavorful offerings, but considering that within just a year we are already seeing maintenance issues, I’m concerned about their ability to sustain service quality in the long run.

The crispy corn was hands-down one of the best things we had—crunchy, flavorful, and hard to stop eating. The dosa was perfectly crisp and the paneer tikka biryani was super tasty with just the right kick. Overall, the food really impressed us. The only downside was the slow service—one of the thalis didn’t arrive until the rest of us were already finished and ready to head out. Took away from the experience a bit, but the flavors definitely made up for it.
