Kota is a veteran restaurateur who owns locations of the Dal Moro&#8217;s Italian pasta chain; Kumar is a financial analyst and investor.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;During my visit to Dallas, I noticed there was great potential for a high-end, high-ambience, high-quality Indian restaurant that also could provide entertainment experiences,&#8221; Kota says. &#8220;The restaurant scene back home in India has seen big changes, and we want to provide a taste of that in Dallas.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That means a menu that incorporates global and contemporary influences. One example is their flatbread featuring chicken tikka \u2014 one of India&#8217;s most popular dishes consisting of chicken marinated in spiced yogurt and grilled \u2014 but served on a flatbread with onions, cheese, and coriander.<\/p>\n<p>Some of their dishes will combine Indian and Italian elements such as alfredo-style rigatoni flavored with Indian spices; or chicken rigatoni, with Indian-spiced grilled chicken and chili flakes. Other dishes will feature Asian ingredients or techniques such as bao buns and Indo-Chinese Manchurian veggie bites with chili mayo.<\/p>\n<p>Weekend brunch will lean heavily into fusion with dishes such as masala avocado croissant, masala omelet, gulab jamum French toast, and bone marrow uttapam, a gluten-free rice-batter pancake topped with mutton bone marrow broth.<\/p>\n<p>The space, which seats 120 with 30 additional seats on the patio, will reflect their ambition with natural materials used to create an upscale, inviting lounge atmosphere, and a full bar with cocktails.<\/p>\n<p>The restaurant name speaks not only to the strong role that mangoes play in India but also to the mango yards in South India, where people gather and relax.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We want to offer a different experience with modern cuisine, ambience, and a high level of service,&#8221; Kota says.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An Indian restaurant that promises to be much more is coming to Frisco: Called The Mango Yard, it&#8217;s&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":467972,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5135],"tags":[5229,1596,24726,10084,9064,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-467971","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-dallas","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-dallas","10":"tag-deep-ellum","11":"tag-openings","12":"tag-tex-mex","13":"tag-texas","14":"tag-tx","15":"tag-united-states","16":"tag-united-states-of-america","17":"tag-unitedstates","18":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","19":"tag-us","20":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115772251428449329","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/467971","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=467971"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/467971\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/467972"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=467971"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=467971"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=467971"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
