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.

I have tried this place 3-4 times before deciding to write a review. Disclaimer: I am vegetarian,…read moreso I cannot speak for the meat items. I do find the menu to be friendly for dietary restrictions and quite extensive! I acknowledge that because options are limited in Galveston for Indian food, this is an ideal location to be able to satisfy that Indian food craving. However, I have always found the food to be average at best. The curries are creamy and colorful, and the portions are big and satisfying. Unfortunately, the food each time has been extremely salty and lacking in depth. I would not call it flavorless, but there is no complexity and variety that makes Indian food what it is. The food is also very mild in spiciness, but I imagine they would be willing to accomodate and make it spicier if asked. The naan is also more dry and tough rather than pillowy and easy to pull apart as it should normally be. The gulab jamun are very good and the veg pakoda are light and crispy, I would get those again. Service has always been good, and despite being in a gas station, it is a nice spot.

Despite being remarkably vibrant and busy for a Saturday afternoon, arrival was delightfully seamless thanks to the ample, convenient parking right outside. Stepping inside, the ambiance is rich, cozy, and impeccably curated. The venue radiates the authentic charm of a fine Indian establishment while maintaining an atmosphere that is pristine, polished, and spotlessly clean. The service was top-tier from the moment I arrived. My server, Magic, was extraordinarily gracious, warm, and attentive. Upon his endearing recommendation and friendly demeanor, I began with the Tamarind Storm cocktail, which was expertly crafted, complex, and extraordinarily refreshing. Magic also informed me of their splendid buffet offerings, which I simply could not resist exploring. The buffet setup was an absolute triumph remarkably fresh, pristine, and constantly replenished. Each dish was served piping hot, tasting as though it had been individually cooked to order just moments before. The vibrant colors, rich aromatics, and exquisite spices were nothing short of sensational. Between the immaculate environment, vibrant Saturday atmosphere, divine cuisine, and Magic's stellar hospitality, Noon Mirch earns absolute full marks from me. A complete hit I shall most certainly be returning

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.

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.

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!

I asked if they served any alcohol, alcoholic beverages, and was informed that they have plans to start selling alcohol within the next 3 to 4 months. I inquired if they were going to have a full barn with a bartender and was told that they plan to start slow by just selling certain alcoholic beverages initially then overtime increase the number of items that are offered. I made my order to go so I could take pictures of my food before I forgot to take pictures. It seems that currently most of their business is takeout. Takeout business is brisk. I've seen three or four while waiting for my food to be prepared. In my opinion the Saag Chicken is prepared in the Southern style, in spite of what the manager said. My food is piping, hot and delicious. The server brought me a plate and silverware when he saw me opening my dishes. He returned with a glass or water also, I love this attention to detail it can make an average experience memorable. The interior could be more inviting with different furniture, making it more appealing. GN3
