EggHolic is a new Indian restaurant in Irving with lots of, you guessed it, egg dishes.
Eggs, a food item most popular here at breakfast or brunch, make an entire category themselves in the Indian subculture of lacto-ovo-vegetarians. Apart from vegetables and fruits, this diet allows for animal byproducts — dairy and egg — for protein.Breakfast and brunch be damned; you can now have eggs for midday munchies, lunch and dinner.
“People know about [these dishes], but don’t know how to cook them,” says Rinkesh Dhanani, the general manager of the newly opened Eggholic in Irving. “This is not food cooked inside the homes, but out on the street.” The void in the U.S. market for this type of cuisine is one of main the reasons they decided to expand this unique spot.The interiors of Eggholic are far from the rustic, bare-bones street food carts that inspired most of the dishes here. Here it's refitted for modern-day suburban American sensibilities. Yolk-yellow concrete floors spill throughout the space. Walls are filled with iconic lines from Bollywood movie greats, replicated in Hindi and Gujarati script.
The star here is the surti gotalo, a Gujarati specialty. A thick tomato masala sauce is studded with shredded boiled egg then topped with two eggs sunnyside up. This egg-on-egg mash-up is served with either roti or a toasted sandwich square.The anda masala sandwich is a two-layered sandwich, sliced into neat quarters made with grilled bread, melted cheese, mayonnaise, sliced cucumbers and tomatoes on the bottom.
Finish your meal with a mango mastani, an over-the-top, sippable celebration of fruit with a blended mango lassi and ice cream, topped with cashews, almond slivers and a generous drizzle of khus vetiver syrup. Or try the masala chaas, a savory, thin buttermilk drink, to cleanse your palate and aid with digestion of the egg-ceptional meal.KEEP THE DALLAS OBSERVER FREE..., it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we'd like to keep it that way.
