    Dahi Puri
    Roshan R.

    Some of the best Indian chaats I had in the US. Great food. I would give 5/5 to Raj Kachori and Dahi puri. And 4/5 to Gobi Manchurian. It had flavor but could have been crispier. And the Sev puri was underwhelming - 3/5. The food will be served to the table once ordered at the counter and paid. Can get a little annoying if you want to order in the middle of the meal.

    Randomly needed an Indian food fix after my friend made me brainstorm good restaurants in the area .... Great food and restaurant. This place has a exciting ambiance inside and is very inviting. The food was great too and very fresh. I got the dosa and sandwich. Very happy with both When calling in for take out be sure to confirm the order. They accidentally prepared another dish on top of the ones I ordered.

    Chowpatty thali
    Neha G.

    We were traveling from Austin to IAH and thought of stopping at this place for lunch. I didn't realize till I was about to write my review that I had been here back in 2019 and wrote a 5 star review. But today's visit was not worth a 5-star review at all. It was more of. 2.5-3 star rating experience. Tried chaat platter, which came with dahi bada, dahi puri, aloo tikki chat and sev puri. First the 4 compartment plate was not good for digging spoons in. All the compartments were very small. Spoons size too big. Aloo tikki was disappointing. Chola was cold not tikki was not crispy at all. Dahi bada was good, probably because of sweet yogurt in it. Rest two were ok. Next, we ordered chowpatty thali which came with 1 dal, 4 curries, 3 rotis, rice, gulabjamun, salad, samosa, lassi. Roti was nice. Soft and thin. Among all curries, only dal was good. Aloo was also ok but less gravy. Paneer, kofta and chola disappointed us, cold and no taste. We placed order for extra rotis. Separate roti set only comes with 3 roti, you can't change the quantity. First it took very long (probably because it was getting crowded) but also it was uncooked and thicker than previous. On the top of that, there a child roaming around (customer), he came and put his palm on our roti, probably just being naive and his parents didn't even care. We let it go. So overall not a good experience and not coming here again soon. Do note that they provide 5% discount on cash.

    Chaat Platter
    Arun R.

    Amazing food - the chaat platter was amazing !! One of the best dahi puri I've had. Samosa chaat and Dahl vada were so flavorful too! The jini dosa was - perfectly roasted and crisp dosa w a delicious pav bhaji like filling. Washed it all down w some creamy mango lassi! Will be back!

    My first time here as I wanted to try some Indian street food. Wow, everything tasted so good that I cannot wait to share this with others and go back!! I wish I could remember all the names so instead I will post pictures instead. Definitely get the "puff balls" - the texture is perfect for poking a hole to put the side ingredients and liquids in. I love all the flavors and spices in each dish! Definitely get the "strawberry yogurt" dessert drink. Beware, there are some thin clear noodles in the drink. It's unique but still tastes good!!

    First time to try in here since 2024 new year , the food was very tasty and warm welcome .

    Schezwan Noodles
    Merlyn M.

    I recommend sticking to the Chaat items! Paneer chilli was delicious, the sauce was savory and has that indochinese taste. Whereas the Schezwan noodles was alright. I almost felt like I could taste the msg and the color used to cook this food. The Chaat is amazing, I will keep coming back for that but not a fan of the more wholesome food they have to offer.

    Pani Puri
    Sankit G.

    The place offers a lot many snack option. I really liked the Pani Puri here because they give you option of either getting served in a plate or stand at the counter meanwhile someone makes piece by piece for you. It gives you an original feel of eating Pani Puri in India. Each plate has either 8 or 10 pani puri (I lost the count in nostalgia). The Puri was crisp as required. Interestingly they feel potato chana as filling and also Ragda (white peas curry) both. Usually in India, you get to ask to fill one only. So this was like double bonanza. For people who cannot eat spicy, they also offer to fill some sweet chutney in the Puri. We also ordered a grilled Aloo Matar Sandwich. It took more than 20 mins for the sandwich but it was quite the wait. I hadn't had Aloo Matar for some months now and it tasted really well. It was topped with cheese whereas the sandwich was grilled with perfection. Served with ketchup on side, my friend was hoping if they could also serve it with fries (too much expectations). There was some grilled cheese too in the sandwich which just added onto the taste of Aloo Matar. It had a bit taste of Dabeli masala, so I think they might also be using the same for Dabeli.

    June 2021. I was looking out for some lunch options and chowpatty grabbed my attention. There was one particular thing on the menu that intrigued me - the chowpatty thali, with 4 different curries, lentils, rice, roti (chapati), papad and sweet lassi along with a desert, wasn't it a mouthful? There I was, on a weekday afternoon, hungry and waiting for my thali to arrive, and my god, was I just blown away by the sheer quantity of food at display for a single dude to devour. I held my head high, took my spoon like a shovel and dug at every curry, one by one. For my curries I had paneer, kofta, chole and potato curry (I'm positive about all of these). The curries had amazing flavor, the curries were rich, creamy and tasty. The lassi was thick and lentils and rice were an amazing pair. The guest of honor was the roti (chapati), so soft, fresh and hot with a pinch of ghee (I'm guessing). The desert (gulab jamun) was yum! I couldn't fathom the amount of food that I just gulped down in one sitting. Everything was just on point. I didn't get the papad that was supposed to come with the thali, and there was no mention for its absence, so negative points for that. Apart from that, everything else was perfect.

    This is one of the places to satisfy your craving for Indian food. I love their chole bhature and aloo paratha. Everything over here tastes good. They can certainly improve the speed of their service but rest is great. Highly recommended.

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.

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.

Our order included potato samosas (BOGO), the chicken 65 (BOGO), goat curry, palak paneer, and garlic naan. Samosas and the chicken 65 were both delicious; dip both in that mint sauce with the samosas to kick up the flavor. Be careful as the chicken 65 (mini fried chicken bites) have spiciness to it with a good amount of chili powder and pepper kicked in. The goat curry was alright, don't know if I would order it again as the grease was overwhelming. I wasn't a fan of the palak paneer, found it too runny and it was leaking when it was delivered to us. Also the garlic naan was a bit hard in the middle; maybe it's due to the packaging? Wouldn't mind ordering here again but we'll definitely do some different items.
