The restaurant is inside a convenience store which is great in case you want a roadie. I ordered the curry veg and some roti off the managers recommendation. Curry veg came with lentils, squash, an onion concoction with rice in the middle. The vegs were tasty and the rice was done right. I ordered, coconut and veg roti along with a onion roll on the side. Of tge two roti, I liked the veg the best. There's a chili paste that came with the coconut roti that was spicy. I liked this place. The manager was very nice and the food was tasty. Definitely want to come back for some other dishes.

You can get one or the other. I got a fish kotthu roti and it wasn't bad. I don't think there's like a ton of diff places to get this dish so this isn't a bad representation of it. I think the curry sauce is a little lacking though.

The shopping center is fairly small with limited parking, and unfortunately there isn't much shade, so it can get extremely hot. One thing to note is that they're closed on Tuesdays. Ordering was simple. You grab a menu, place your order at the register, and our food arrived in about five minutes. Before ordering, I clearly requested no cilantro on everything because I have a cilantro allergy. Unfortunately, the complimentary papdi chaat came out covered in cilantro. I had to send it back to be remade, which was frustrating since food allergies should be taken seriously. The thali itself was good. It had a nice level of spice, came with three chapatis, rice, and a good variety of curries. At $11.99, I thought it was a good value. As for the papdi chaat, I still prefer Shiv Sagar's version. It has a more generous portion of potatoes and chickpeas, and if I remember correctly, it's also about a dollar cheaper. My only other disappointment was the loyalty program. I asked to join when paying, but was told that I should pay first. Once paid, the transaction had already been completed and it won't let me join. Perhaps they think we are a one time customer, so why join the program? Overall, I'm glad I gave this place a try and found another Indian restaurant in the Gandhi District. I'd definitely come back for the thali, but I hope they improve their attention to food allergies and make the loyalty program process more welcoming.

I've tried a wide variety of Indian food, so I know what to expect when it comes to flavor,…read morehowever, this was my first time trying Sri Lankan food. Let me tell you about my experience. Upon driving up on a Saturday evening, there were only 2 vehicles parked in the lot. I immediately thought, okay with a 4.8 star rating on Google that is a bad sign. I was a bit hesitant about coming inside, however, my sister persuaded us to just give them a try. We walk inside the rather large restaurant to find one single family out of the whole establishment and a tall guy aimlessly standing around. It was very strange. We walked to the counter to order only an appetizer, however, the tall guy who did not introduce his name or anything handed us the menu. So, we sit down at one of the booths as we are scanning the menu, the tall guy comes to the table asking if we ever tried Indian food. I'm thinking to myself, "of course, I live in Houston and has tried Indian food, do I look uncultured?!". I tell him yes and ask for some time to review the menu. After he leaves, I immediately knew I wanted the veg biryani as an entree. My sister was eyeing the dosa. So we flag the tall guy down and I'm requesting to order the biryani and he tells me, they don't have dosa, biryani, nor any of the Indian dishes because the cook that prepares the Indian isn't at work today. Very strange red flag. Okay, so I settle on the dahl and veg rotti with hot tea. As soon as I order, it was less than 1 second after I placed the order. I watched the tall guy walk to the kitchen and say something to the cook and he is placing my order on a tray to serve to me. Another red flag! I'm thinking, "there is no way that they cooked that food that fast." The dahl comes to the table in a small bowl and the portion size was tiny like for a child. The dahl wasn't hot in temperature and more room temperature. The veg rotti was only two pieces that were cut with a side order of ketchup. My sister and I both say to each other, "why is the side sauce ketchup?" I'm thinking, "that would appear more Americanized than Sri Lankan. I don't know". It was very weird and not authentic. The taste of the dahl was okay, not spicy. It tasted like it came from the canned dahl that I get from Amy's Soups. It definitely did not taste like it was made to order or fresh. It gave a weird aftertaste. The veg rotti was okay. I've had better frozen veg rottis that I've picked up from Raj's Groceries. It wasn't flavorful and more bland. I hated that the dipping sauce was ketchup. My sister orders the cafe special kottu with veg croquettes. Again, it was 30 seconds and the food was out. The croquettes came with the dipping sauce of ketchup. The croquettes were seemingly tasty. My sister said that the kottu did not taste fresh and gave off a slate taste. The hot tea was complimentary which the tall guy brought to the table. My sister ordered a mango lassi which they were out of. The tall guy brought us two bottles of water which was in the house. It was strange because we never asked for water The tea did not taste authentic and tasted like your average ginger tea. It was not aromatic or fresh. It tasted like it had been sitting out all day. The dahl with a side of rice, veg rotti, and tea was $14. I don't know why they charged me for the tea since the tall guy said that it was complimentary. Overall, this has been my first time to try this restaurant and my last time. The food is not fresh and not made fresh to order. There was a lack of flavor. The service was attentive, however, the food was not good. 3 stars is for the service, the food gets no stars. I won't be back nor recommend this place. I would really recommend that they have photos of the food. The tall guy gave a good description of the food. Also, the portion size is too small for the price. Please prepare the food fresh to order if I wanted leftovers, I would have eaten at home!

As no foreigner to Indo/Pak Cuisine, I had my mind set to try a Beef Boti Roll (mild) on "Paratha" bread - a toasty flaky flat bread housing several large chunks of savory beef marinated in Pakistani spices, diced onion and cucumber with a hint of ketchup and two sauce containers of a basalmic dressing and a thinner mint yogurt sauce to dip or our. This roll is also available and freshly made Naan. This roll is about 8" long. Everything is cooked to order - every order taking about 15 to 20 minutes to prepare. If you are in a hurry, make sure that you order ahead. I also want to add that they make a limited amount of marinated beef for boti and only had one order left enough for me to be able to try it. Stop in and sit to enjoy the experience.

I was…read moreexcited because surely, this means that it's gotta be pretty decent to have so many orders right?? We ordered our go-to trio of entrees: Butter Chicken - this familiar orange dish had a good amount of chicken and packed a pocket of flavor in every bite. I know butter chicken definitely has sweetness to it, but this was a little too sweet for my liking. Palak Paneer - greens, greens and cheese. This vegetarian spinach dishes as filled with herbs. The taste wasn't bad, but the consistency was weird. It was very watery. Tikka Masala Chicken - this red chicken curry dish had a ton of spices, welcoming you into flavor town. Overall, the dishes weren't bad by any means, but they all had very similar aspects that made them ehhh. All 3 entrees seemed watered down (very very liquid-y) and were all on the sweeter side. Inside the little take out shop, they have pre-made dishes too in case you change your mind and want more while waiting for your to-go orders (the wait is very short/nearly non-existent)!

I barely had any lamb, which is what I liked the best of course. I will say the mint chutney and the raitta were both very tasty. The pakora was crumbles. Only one dal option and no chana, not much vegetable selection (cabbage and potatoes, mediocre). There was only one rice option and it was just rice and peas. Not really seasoned. I found a lot of things under seasoned. Not under-salted, under seasoned. Not enough green cardamom, cinnamon, the big flavor spices. There were a lot of gentlemen working who all looked and acted like they had been there for years. I cannot say that they were friendly to me. They were friendly to patrons who were obvious regular customers. I would say I felt like I was tolerated but not welcomed. Finally - it was too expensive. It was weekend lunch and it was expensive. I did order one of the funny interesting cocktails and had the buffet for one. I barely escaped with tax and tip just under $40. That's too expensive.
