🌿 Masala Twist Transforms Into Malgudi Garden

A familiar address on East Campbell Road has a fresh identity: the Richardson spot previously known as Masala Twist has reopened under the Malgudi Garden name, making it the brand's second location after its original Plano restaurant. The menu centers entirely on vegan and vegetarian South Indian cooking, with standout dishes ranging from rice dumplings and chilli gobi to tofu tikka masala and soups. The rebrand marks a focused shift toward plant-based cuisine while keeping the South Indian culinary tradition that longtime patrons appreciated. The new Richardson outpost opened on March 19 and is located at 955 E. Campbell Road, Suite 200. [1]
