With its rich colors, elegant plating and fragrant aromas that draw you in, Sanjh Restaurant & Bar is unlike anything else in the DFW culinary scene. Bold and refined, the upscale Indian concept offers a modern take on traditional dishes — served with a side of storytelling, style and serious spice.
Led by Executive Chef Sarabjit Singh Assi, a protégé of India’s top kitchens, Sanjh is grounded in authenticity and elevated through fine-dining finesse. That means clay tandoors individually calibrated for meat, veggies and bread, a “Spice House” program that imports more than 40 whole spices from India and blends them in-house weekly and plating that transforms every dish into an edible work of art.
This month, the spotlight is on Sanjh’s six-week Festival of Lights celebration. Running through November 21, the Diwali-inspired menu lineup brings India’s most cherished holiday — a celebration of light triumphing over darkness — to the table in dazzling fashion. Offerings include a Festive High Tea with cardamom-spiced bites and fragrant chai, a prix fixe dinner experience with showstopping curries and layered desserts and beautifully boxed mithai (Indian sweets) that practically beg to be given as gifts.
“Diwali is a time when the table becomes a place of connection,” says Chef Assi. “Every dish tells a story — of tradition, of celebration, and of how Indian cuisine can keep evolving while staying true to its roots.”
But even outside of the holiday season, Sanjh brings the same attention to detail. Shareable starters like the Vada Bao or Galouti Kebab offer an inventive twist on Indian street food, while mains such as Meen Moilee and Mutton Rogan Josh highlight regional flavors rarely found locally. Cocktail lovers will also appreciate the bar’s infusion-forward approach, with drinks featuring homemade chaat masala, tamarind and Ceylon chili tincture.
Whether you’re dressing up for a date night or hosting a memorable gathering, Sanjh turns dinner into a destination — honoring Indian heritage while inviting everyone to the table.
