Musaafer - Mishti Doi

We had Justin as our server during our second visit to Musaafer, which was just as fantastic as the…read morefirst (minus the parking situation which was way worse for Mother's Day weekend). Our first dish, the Paani Puri, came out in 10 minutes. My favorite paani was the tamarind, followed by the passion fruit, yogurt, and then guava and mango. I thought the guava was a bit bland at first but it really worked well in the Puri. It took about ~30 minutes for appetizers to come out. Mithu's Coriander Shrimp (4/5): It reminds me a lot of Vietnamese / Thai curry. It's a bit pricey, but would recommend trying it. The sauce went really well with naan. Tandoori Chicken Kulcha (4/5): Delicious filling. The Kashmiri butter and fenugreek butter were very unique to melt on and add flavors. We actually had the most fun dipping the Kulcha in the shrimp sauce (4.5/5 combo haha) Entrees came out at ~50 minutes. Malwani Fish Curry (4.5/5) Inspired by West india and an incredibly tender piece of cod. The curry was very citrus forward and went excellently with naan and biryani rice. Dal Musaafer (5/5) Still fantastic, smoky, and complex. I'll get this every time we come. Jackfruit Biryani (3/5): A surprisingly good replacement texture for chicken, but I felt that it was missing the complexity of the lamb chop biryani. Nimbu Naan (4/5): Comes with three pieces and has a nice lemony flavor. I think I prefer the spice of the bullet naan. We also tried the "Pour me a Slice" cocktail, which was really a unique experience of drinking a pizza. Seriously, you can barely taste alcohol here. It's a truffle award winner but the truffle really comes out as a lingering flavor. It's really like a margarita pizza. Paid with inKind with no issues again. Another really fun experience here!

Dining at Musaafer has all the ingredients of a truly great experience, though our evening got off…read moreto a bit of a rough start. Even with a reservation for six, we were first seated at a communal table outside the main dining room, and then moved to a tight, dim corner--neither felt quite right for a place of this caliber. That said, the manager handled everything with kindness and professionalism, and once we were moved to a round table in the center of the main dining room, the night completely turned around. From there, everything was excellent. Justin took great care of us--attentive, thoughtful, and easy to talk to--and the food was beautifully prepared and full of flavor. Musaafer is clearly a special place. With the right seating to match the experience, it really shines.

This was a good authentic Indian spot. Prices were pretty solid for the amounts and portions that…read moreyou get. Several different street food options or bowl options for an authentic experience. I didn't too much like the butter chicken burger as it was just a slab of dipped butter, chicken with tomato and a huge onion slice about half an inch thick but overall it was okay. Would not get again. It also came with French fries and these were extremely basic from a frozen bag. Very dull. Unfortunately I didn't realize the burger came with fries and I additionally ordered loaded tikka masala fries so instead of it being a replacement for the fries with a burger I just had two huge orders of fries. Seemed like something that the person taking the order could've mentioned before I ordered it. Also had the lamb baryani, tikka masala and garlic naan. This was amazing! Tasted so good. Deep in flavor and of course spices The naan was amazing And everything came out really hot! You can smell the flavors and the spices when you walked into the restaurant. We'll definitely be back to try different things on the menu

Butter chicken was flavorful, Bullet and Garlic naan good and we added a flavor bomb Salt and Pepper Chicken. We are happy to have found a spot closer than Kathmandu that comes close to the same product. We will order from here again.

We very rarely go to the Hilcroft area, but after seeing so many rave reviews, we decided to give…read morethis place a try and had high expectations for the food. Unfortunately, our experience was quite the opposite. The first thing we noticed when we entered the restaurant was a strong, unpleasant smell. Since we had specifically gone there to try the food, we still decided to dine in. We ordered chai, Mysore masala dosa, chole bhature, and samosas. None of the dishes really stood out. The food was just average; not terrible, but definitely not worth making the drive for. The chai in particular had almost no flavor, and we couldn't even finish it. Overall, it was a disappointing experience, especially given the hype. There are many better options in the Katy/Richmond area where you can find great food in a much more pleasant dining environment. The smell inside the restaurant was also concerning, as it raises questions about hygiene and food safety standards. For context, we visited on a Saturday morning around 11:30 AM, so it wasn't late in the day or close to closing time. Based on this experience, I wouldn't prefer to visit again.

Shiv Saga has long been one of my go-to spots for tasty Indian vegetarian light bites. Ordering is…read moresimple: walk up to the counter, place your order, and let them know the number of the table or booth you want to sit at. When your food is ready, they'll call your number for pickup. Water, cups, utensils, and napkins are all self-serve on the side counter. I ordered the Dahi Puri and the Rava Masala Dosa. The Dahi Puri was excellent as always. This time, the potato filling for the dosa was served on the side instead of inside, so you scoop it into the dosa yourself. Different, but still delicious and very satisfying. The restaurant is in a great location near Hillcroft in the Gandhi District, surrounded by other Indian restaurants and grocery stores. Service is friendly, prices are reasonable, and there's plenty of parking in the large shared lot. A solid spot for dosas, puris, and quick Indian bites.

7.9/10 I recently tried Kumar's for some Indian food and…read morewas pleasantly surprised. I ordered through one of the delivery apps and scored a buy one get one free special, which made the value absolutely worth it. For the amount of food I received, the price was great. They even included bread on the side, which I appreciated and did not expect with the promo. What really stood out to me was how fast everything was. The food was ready within about seven minutes of me placing the order. That kind of efficiency is impressive. They were also very attentive and made sure everything was correct. As for the food itself, it tasted really good. The flavors were solid and satisfying. Is it the best Indian food I have ever had? No. But for the value, speed, and overall experience, it is definitely a place I would order from again. If you are looking for good Indian food at a great price point, especially when they are running specials, this spot is absolutely worth trying.

The only complaint I'd say is that I wish the non-veg thali had some veg options with it as well. We also ordered Dosa and it was HUGE be prepared to come with an empty stomach. All the chutneys tasted so delicious. I literally can't wait to come again and order their biryani plates. And thali again
