I've tried several items here, including the Aloo Tikki plate, Aloo Amritsari Kulcha, and Pani…read morePuri, and these have quickly become my go-to favorites. The flavors are delicious, the portions are satisfying, and every dish feels thoughtfully prepared. The Pani Puri is definitely a must-try -- the perfect balance of flavors, freshness, and tanginess makes it stand out and keeps me coming back for more. The Aloo Tikki is comforting and flavorful, while the Amritsari Kulcha is packed with taste and has that satisfying North Indian touch. As a vegetarian, I truly appreciate having a place where I can explore so many flavorful options. The consistency in taste and quality is what keeps me returning. Highly recommend trying these dishes if you're looking for a delicious and authentic Indian street-food experience!

You find an open table and wait for your order to be called out. The chaats were pretty good. Nice hefty portion and vibrant. Ended with a cup of tea which was the icing on the cake. There is a gassy selection of mithai also available for purchase and other Indian snacks I don't know what happened to the 2 ladies that were always at the front counter? Did Bombay sweet have a management change?

Now since it was my first time at this spot which is located inside world food market I took the advice of that pretty lady behind the counter and ordered Zinger Burger with Masala fries along with mix fruit juice.

Sure it was, so glad I stopped here for lunch. Definitely will be back to try more food from the menu!!!! Chai Shai....Keep serving good Desi food!!!!

Excellent food and service. My father had been telling me about this place for a while now (we…read moredon't live in Houston). Today was the day. I LOVE spicy food and where I live nothing is ever spicy enough. Here, I can legit say it kicked my butt in the very best way. You can order anything mild/medium/ or spicy. I said, "bring it on." They listened. The manchow soup was a wonderful and hearty way to start the meal. I would get it again. The green curry was so delicious. You can get it with chicken, good, or fish. It was so good. It was if Thai curry and traditional Indian curry had a baby. It was perfectly balanced and you could taste the cilantro and curry leaves. I would 200% get this again though next time I may get a little less spicy though I enjoyed it so much. The service was fast and friendly, and the place is spacious and clean. This is a hidden gem for sure if you're looking for delicious Indian and specifically Goan food.

Nut allergy warning: When I expressed a nut allergy, it was indicated that they could handle it…read morewith no issues with the Thali. I did have some concerns with a few dishes but it was hard to tell if it was a lot of spice or sesame, which can also trigger a light reaction. I'd be a bit careful but overall, I had a good meal. Time-to-Food: ~12 minutes We came for early dinner around 4:30PM and it was not that busy, though it got busier later in the evening. The restaurant layout is a mix of booths and open tables, pretty suitable for large parties. I will preface by saying that I am not at all familiar with Indian cuisine. I rarely eat it because I grew up thinking that Indian food had a lot of nuts. Only partially true (kind of a gamble on things). I ordered the Royal South Indian Thali and a Masala Chai. First, everyone was served a spicy soup-like dish that was a great start to the meal. The Royal South Indian Thali was massive. I got some slightly different sides than my friend that ordered the same, perhaps because of the nut allergy. The curries/sambar were great with the rice and roti and the vegetables were delicious. I thought that the Halwa was my favorite dessert. The yogurt rice was more of an acquired taste (I was advised to mix it with the pickled spices, which I am not usually a fan of), as was the salted lassi. Others enjoyed them more than I did, but I was delighted to finish my meal with the masala chai. There is a small upcharge for paying with a credit card. Overall, pretty solid vegetarian cuisine and I'd definitely come back for some authentic food. One of my friends has been going here for over 10 years, so it definitely came recommended!

Raja is one of those places that has spot in Houston history. I've heard about it for years and was…read moreexcited to finally get a chance to try some sweets. I got 4 different sweets and they were all so sweet that they were virtually inedible. The milk cake was crumbly and grainy. I guess I thought it would be more soft and moist but it completely fell apart when I cut into it. I got a mango ball and a carrot cake square and both were dry and so sweet that it any other flavor became quite mute. You kinda got the hint of flavor in each but it was very slight. There was a moist coconut ball that was on the brink of good but once again, was overpowered by this blast of sugar in your mouth. It was creamy and bouncy but alas went unfinished. I am giving a 3 because to be fair, nothing was inherently wrong. I just could not enjoy the desserts at all.

When we dropped by there was no one at the front, so we did have to knock on the kitchen door. Someone immediately came out to help us then. We ordered the dahi puri and the sev puri-both were delicious with generous portions. The samosas were also fresh, crispy and just the right amount of spicy. The mango lassi was also very refreshing and fresh. However, the malai kofta I ordered did not taste like malai kofta and instead was pretty salty and tasted more like chana masala. They were very nice however offered a replacement or refund. A nice Chaat Place overall for a quick bite.

After going back and forth, we ended up with the pav bhaji ($13.99) and the samosa chaat. Both were tasty, but they charge $3 if you ask for extra bread (which is needed) for the pav bhaji. It's good food, and it's a clean place. But I wouldn't go out of my way for it.
