Overall pretty good Indian restaurant for the area, easy to find at night with their bright green…read moreneon sign, right across from the playhouse. Interior: Very interesting and had a club vibe. Not something most Indian restaurants give you the vibe of in the states. Walk down stairs to what appears to be an old nightclub/lounge turned Indian restaurant. Very dark, sexy vibes, but again unexpected. Service: 5 stars, we arrived late after viewing a play across the street but were seated quickly with friendly service throughout our dinner. They offered great suggestions and were friendly. No issues there. Food: 4 stars, pretty good authentic Indian food. Overall a good meal of the usuals, chicken tikka masala (nice and creamy white meat chicken), white rice, and naan. Tasty! Pricing is probably why I couldn't give this place 5 stars. I bit steep for what you get. For example the naan bread wasn't cheap and they give you 2 pieces. Normally places give about 4. I think this place is good if your in the area but probably cheaper options if you go a bit further down the block. It was super convenient though because they were open late.

Great ambiance. Good cocktails and good wine selection. A stylish presentation of good tasting…read moreIndian food. If you like aubergine, then order the "Baingan Ka Bharta." It's smoked aubergine mash with ginger, chili, and cumin. The texture is wonderfully smooth and it tastes very flavorful with all the spices. Has a kick to it. Steamed Basmati rice is nice a fluffy - well done Mint Leaf! The "Mixed Grilled Platter" comes with prawns, chicken, salmon, ground beef, and paneer. All very delicious and some are a bit spicy. You wouldn't expect to have salmon as part of this platter since it is focused on kabobs but you will be pleasantly surprised! :) Naan was very tasty - good consistency Desserts are not bad but also not extremely memorable either. They are nicely plated though.

This is such a nice restaurant!! I love this place! It's a good wait for the food and all the…read moreservice was very quick and everyone was nice! Nayen was our server and he was nice and attentive throughout our meal!! I cannot tell you how good this food is, I devoured it. I wish we had this restaurant in the United States!! thank you for everything, Nayen

OMG. I mean really, OMG…read more Hey, HBK Houston, do you have a special license to serve the best Indian food in Texas? Not to be too much of a snob but I've had Indian food from all over the states. All over the San Francisco Bay area, Las Vegas, Houston, New York City, London (England), and Singapore. Of all those I gotta say this place is in the top three. Maybe the top two out of all of them. The food is just... Perfect. We've been here twice and, with no overlap between each order, everything was super amazingly delicious. The service is excellent too. Very patient and polite. Although, maybe it's just me but I think they need to speak a bit louder. The place can get noisy when it's nearly a full house. You can still converse but extra volume is required. The menu is quite large too. I want to try everything! I have this insecurity that this place will disappear before I've been able to have all of the dishes. I have three benchmarks for Indian cuisine. The first is the naan. This place blew my mouth away with their incredible naan. The 'plain' naan is the absolute best I've had in at least twenty years. Just amazing in every category. Their Bullet Naan is also exquisite! The second benchmark of Indian cuisine for me is their navratan kurma. Theirs was spot on and I couldn't stop eating it. So fresh and topped off with awesome paneer. The last benchmark is the masala chai. It's good. Very good, but not the best. Bummer. But there is excellent masala chai nearby. Special shout out goes to Hyderabadi Chicken 65. It's a but creamier than regular Chicken 65 and it has an extra touch of citrus too. It's a wonderful take on a fantastic dish. So yummy. We'll be back that's for sure.

After a 'Jersey Boys' matinee at the Prince Edward Theatre, my friend and I jumped out of the crowd…read morespilling onto the street into the 'Bay of Bengal' Indian restaurant kitty korner to the theater. We dipped warm naan bread into a delicious spinach paneer that tended to the sweet side with warm tofu-like cheese chunks for a starter and followed that with a chicken curry and bhaag malaam (or something like that) that were well seasoned and very yummy. Two hot cups of Indian tea on a cool day and we were happy, well-fed campers! There were about 6 tables downstairs, two in the front window. They filled up quickly after that show but there is also extra seating upstairs, where it is much quieter. The waiters were fine, but unenthused about their jobs and rather loud, talking over all the patrons on their cell phones in the back of the restaurant. At one point, I joked that they were ordering out our dinner from another restaurant...and then it arrived! Cooked on site and delicious. I would go back if in the area.

This restaurant was horrible!…read more We sat down in the empty restaurant (should have been sign enough) and ordered two tap waters and popadoms to start. The glass my tap water came in smelt like cigarettes from the waiters not washing their hands, and the popadoms were cooked in rancid oil, so were bitter and stale. We were so unhappy by this point we tried to cancel our order (2 mins after we had ordered) but they said the food was already ready (also very worrying that it took two minutes to cook 2 curries). We unwillingly paid and left with our food in bags, and put it straight in the bin.
