Haldiram's opened the doors to its first-ever United States restaurant in Frisco on Sunday, bringing chaat, thalis and a full sweets counter to a 4,400-square-foot space at 7010 Preston Road, Suite 240. The 110-seat restaurant marks a major milestone for a company that has been feeding Indian diaspora communities and snack lovers worldwide for nearly nine decades.
CraveDFW reported that the restaurant was scheduled to open Sunday, October 11, and that Dallas-Fort Worth is serving as the starting point for Haldiram's restaurant expansion in the U.S. The address and the restaurant's size were detailed by fsrmagazine.com, which described the 110-cover space spanning approximately 4,400 square feet. As Community Impact reports, the Frisco debut represents Haldiram's first restaurant location in the United States, part of a company that has more than 400 stores and restaurants across the globe.
What's on the Menu at the Frisco Location
The Frisco menu spans street food, traditional thalis and chaats, according to the same FSR Magazine report. A dedicated sweet counter and retail area features traditional Indian mithai alongside a selection of Haldiram's packaged products, the outlet noted. Community Impact's reporting adds that the menu includes chaat, samosas, curries, biryani and other vegetable specialties, along with packaged snacks and desserts for shoppers who want to take something home.
Online ordering details from order.toasttab.com show vegetarian staples like Dal Makhani, described as black lentils slow cooked overnight with butter, cream, tomatoes and the restaurant's secret spice blend, alongside paneer preparations. The dessert menu includes rasmalai.
A Nearly 90-Year-Old Brand Goes Global
Haldiram's traces its roots to 1937, when it began as a small Bhujia shop in Bikaner, Rajasthan, according to FSR Magazine. The company started exporting packaged snacks to North America in 1993, long before it opened any U.S. restaurant, per a report from kotakneo.com. That same report notes Haldiram's now has a presence in more than 80 countries, supported by a network of 35 sole distributors.
The Frisco opening fits into a broader international push. Haldiram's is entering the U.S. restaurant market for the first time with the Frisco location, according to a bizjournals.com report. The kotakneo.com report adds the company is targeting expansion in key international markets including the United States and the Middle East, a push supported by a rapidly growing Indian diaspora and rising global demand for authentic ethnic cuisine. Temasek Holdings has also agreed to acquire a 10% stake in Haldiram Snacks Food Private Limited, the report states.
From Dubai to London Before Texas
Frisco isn't Haldiram's first swing outside India. The company launched its first international quick-service-format restaurant in Dubai in February 2025, according to the kotakneo.com report. Haldiram's made its London debut roughly four months before the Frisco location opened, per Community Impact's reporting.
That London restaurant, planned for Leicester Square, was designed to span 3,000 square feet with a menu featuring choley bhature, pao bhaji, raj kachori and an expansive chaat selection, according to restaurantonline.co.uk. The London site was also set to include a dedicated retail area with a sweets counter and shelves of packaged Haldiram's products for takeaway, mirroring the setup now open in Frisco. Haldiram's has operated a production facility in Southall, west London, to supply Indian sweets across the U.K. and Europe, according to broadsheet.com.
With its first U.S. restaurant now serving diners on Preston Road, Haldiram's joins a growing list of Indian food brands betting on American appetites for street food and sweets beyond the packaged snack aisle. For North Texans, it means a taste of Bikaner's nearly 90-year-old culinary legacy is now just a drive away in Frisco.
