Plano’s Jashan Is the First Indian Restaurant in DFW to Make the Michelin Guide

photos by Joey Stewart

Collin County has become one of the best places in Texas to eat Indian food. For three years, the Michelin Guide did not seem to notice any of it. This month that changed. Jashan, an upscale Indian restaurant in Plano, landed on Michelin’s 2026 Recommended list less than a year after it opened, and it is the first Indian restaurant in Dallas-Fort Worth ever recognized by the guide. It was also the only Plano restaurant on this year’s list.

Jashan means celebration, and the restaurant feels like one. It opened on November 13, 2025, at 7401 Lone Star Drive in Legacy North, in the big space that used to be Farm + Feed. It is the first restaurant for owner Prasanna Singaraju, who spent his career in tech before deciding food was his calling. He even enrolled in cooking school to prepare for it.

India’s Haldiram’s Chooses Frisco for Its American Debut

If you have ever wandered the snack aisle at an Indian grocery store in Plano, Irving or Frisco, you already know the name. Haldiram’s bags of bhujia are about as familiar in Indian households as ketchup is in American ones. Now the company behind them is opening its first restaurant in the United States, and it chose Frisco.

Haldiram’s Frisco opens Sunday, October 11, at 7010 Preston Road, Suite 240. It is a full-service, casual restaurant of about 4,400 square feet with seating for 110, plus a retail area stocked with the brand’s packaged sweets and snacks.

By Miles Archer Pictures by Joey Stewart

A new Indian restaurant has opened on Forest Lane, and the couple behind it may be familiar to longtime Dallas diners. Golden Leaf Bar & Grill recently opened at 8989 Forest Lane, from Sumathi and Ramesh Sundaram, the husband-and-wife team who opened the original Shivas Bar & Grill on Lower Greenville in 2014.

At Shivas, Sumathi was the chef and ran the kitchen while Ramesh handled the front of the house. Before coming to Dallas, the couple operated two restaurants in Lexington, Kentucky, Bombay Bar & Grill and Banana Leaf. They also spent about a decade living in Singapore before making their way to Dallas.

Downtown Dallas Finally Has Indian Food Late Night

Downtown Dallas has never had much in the way of Indian food, and if you’ve noticed that too, you’re not imagining it. Most of the city’s best options sit out in Irving, Plano, Richardson, and Frisco, which makes sense given where a lot of Dallas’s Indian community has settled, but it’s always meant a drive if you wanted a proper curry after work. Gymkhana just changed that math.
