The only thing consistent about the buffet is that there is nothing on it that is much hotter than room temperature. I'd have to say that either they don't know how to operate the steam tables or the steam tables are broken. On the good side..... if you go when there isn't a buffet the food is usually better and warmer.

On our way back from Beaumont, we stopped at Desi Dhaba, located right off I-10 in Winnie, and this…read moreturned out to be a great road-trip food stop. The place has a fun, laid-back roadside dhaba atmosphere with plenty of space, both indoor and outdoor seating, plus a playground for the kids. The menu is huge, so naturally we had to try a little bit of everything! What we ordered: * Cholay Bhature * Gobi Manchurian * Chicken Lollipops * Butter Chicken * Chicken Curry * Tandoori Whole Fish * Daal Tadka * Fresh naan & roti Everything we tried was flavorful, but the Tandoori Whole Fish was easily my favorite. Nicely charred on the outside, well seasoned and packed with flavor. The biggest surprise, though, was the Gobi Manchurian. Crispy cauliflower tossed in that sweet, spicy and savory Indo-Chinese sauce--I honestly never knew gobi could taste that good! Definitely something I'd order again. The Cholay Bhature came with those big, freshly fried, fluffy bhature, while the Butter Chicken, Chicken Curry and Daal Tadka gave us plenty of rich, comforting flavors to enjoy with the breads. Overall, Desi Dhaba is definitely worth stopping at if you're traveling along I-10 near Winnie or heading between Houston and Beaumont. Good food, a huge selection and a relaxed family-friendly setup make it much more than your typical highway food stop.

Tucked away on the service road, inside the turn where I-10 westbound turns at Winnie to take…read moredirect aim at Houston, you will find a restaurant with some of the consistently best Indian dishes I've ever had. The extensive menu has a wide variety of both vegetarian and non choices. I love saag paneer, but I don't think I've ever had tikka masala paneer (in most places in the US, this seems to be a chicken dish). Perfect spices, proportion, texture, and heat in both the temperature and pepper sense. Do be careful temperature-wise; I fumbled the plastic container while removing the lid, sloshed from some of the just-served dish on my thumb, and burned a spot. The food comes out like that, casually with plastic dinnerware. What these containers and trays hold could be served on china in any fine Indian establishment. If you can get past the takeout containers, you are in for a real treat. I accompanied my paneer with a garlic naan and an aloo paratha. Both were excellent and so fresh from the oven I couldn't touch them for 5 minutes. They offer a range of beers and soft drinks but selection is behind the cashier across the room and hard to decipher at distance. When I did spot right away we're both mango and sweet lahssi. I chose the sweet and it was delicious. The dining facilities are split between a large open well lit yard that reminds me of rhe Shed in Mississippi, and an air conditioned enclosed dining room. I chose the outside area which turned out to be a little optimistic with 85° Texas heat at 8:00 p.m. Winnie is not a town where you would expect culinary excellence. But if you are looking for a place almost an hour from Houston on the wastern side, it's a perfect place to stop.

All were a hit - especially the perfectly spicy vindaloo. Garlic naan was warm and flavorful. And of course, I had to get some vegetable samosas, which were incredible. The tikka masala wasn't the best I've had, it was a bit more on the yogurty side. But still great flavor and delicious to mop up with the naan. The men at the restaurant were very friendly! He made sure I had all my items and knew what was in each bag before leaving. Also, the entrees DO come with rice, so don't make the same mistake I did and order extra. I've got rice for days...

If you think good Indian food can't be sold inside a gas station, think again. Delicious. I recently stopped in here and grabbed an order of chicken tikka masala. Absolutely delicious.

Or, you can have Door Dash bring it to you. Either way, you owe it to yourself to give Curry Lounge a try. You will not be disappointed. Bottom line - Very good Indian food. The flavors simply pop.

A group of us one for dinner and we tried several different dinners and shared them amongst us. We were seated quickly and they accommodate our group of 10 easily, we placed our order in the food, came out, reasonably quickly. The main course started with a salad, and we ordered both garlic and buttered nan. Our main courses included mahkani chicken, vindaloo, fish, chicken biryani, spinach paneer, momo dumplings, and several orders of King of Texas platter. The flavors were wonderful, and when we ordered a few of us, ask them to dial up the spice, but be careful. The service was very good and attentive, and the restaurant was relatively quiet from noise. Some restaurants are just super noisy, and TAJ is not. If you enjoy Indian cuisine, I know you'll enjoy this restaurant.

To be honest, when I made the reservation we didn't reserve anything with the tapas menu but we went with it. We were sat near the bar giving us the view of the kitchen and asked to check out the menus. I did the vegetarian tapas and my husband did the non vegetarian tapas. I absolutely love Indian street food so this worked out. In order we recieved: Pani puri - the puris were crunchy, had some spice and the passionfruit topping was adding the tangy spice, delicious! It also had avocado and fruit which is so unique. Presentation was picture worthy! Papidi chaat- not one of my favorites but tasted pretty usual, I enjoyed the yogurt also giving it some tang. Bhel puri- tasted like your typical bhel puri but the topping placed on the top was very unique- made it seem a little more high end. Pok pok po - the presentation was very unique- I almost didn't understand the dog statue as seen in my photo but the food was still good! But I also learned that the chef has another sister restaurant downtown called Pok Pok Po mainly Indian style chicken. Paneer wrap- had some heat! The chutney was a good addition to the wrap Birthday chai bomb- there was a chocolate ball where you pour hot chai on top and it was delicious! Choice of popsicle- the last item- at this point we were extremely full, I picked the passion fruit popsicle and it was fresh and delicious! The presentation again didn't really make any sense to me. Overall- the tasting menu was actually a really good surprise and delicious! I wound highly recommend! The staff were great, the chef brought us one item and introduced himself- definetly felt like a special night.
