We also got a madras coffee. The food was quite good overall. The only critique I have is that the bisibella bath had a touch too much cinnamon but it was still comforting. I'm quite critical when it comes to South Indian food but the chutneys and sambhar were actually decent! I do wish the dosa was crispier though. I'd come here again to try other things.

We very rarely go to the Hilcroft area, but after seeing so many rave reviews, we decided to give…read morethis place a try and had high expectations for the food. 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.

When your food is ready, they'll call your number for pickup. Water, cups, utensils, and napkins are all self-serve on the side counter. I ordered the Dahi Puri and the Rava Masala Dosa. 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.

I ordered through one of the delivery apps and scored a buy one get one free special, which made the value absolutely worth it. For the amount of food I received, the price was great. They even included bread on the side, which I appreciated and did not expect with the promo. What really stood out to me was how fast everything was. The food was ready within about seven minutes of me placing the order. That kind of efficiency is impressive. They were also very attentive and made sure everything was correct. As for the food itself, it tasted really good. The flavors were solid and satisfying. Is it the best Indian food I have ever had? No. But for the value, speed, and overall experience, it is definitely a place I would order from again. If you are looking for good Indian food at a great price point, especially when they are running specials, this spot is absolutely worth trying.

The interior itself is clean and spacious, with booth seating options that I love. The service is always courteous and timely, though weekend can get busy and be a bit slower. The food itself is full of flavor and authenticity. I love the malai kofta, chicken karahi and the chicken biryani. The malai kofta is the perfect balance of sweet and savory, with a rich creamy curry and a delicious vegetable patty. The meat dishes have a bit of a kick, but lucky for me, has an adjustable spice level of you ask. The meat itself is tender and works well with the spices to really give you a truly unforgettable meal. An Indian restaurant I can endorse.

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. Hopefully the samosas and chicken 65 are still on the BOGO status cause we'll definitely take those again.

The naan came with very 2 large slices and tasted as advertised. Garlic and butter always go together and this bread was well worth it. This meal tasted very good and satisfied my hunger.

Flavor, ingredients, time-- they are still selecting the produce they know will make the dishes shine. You need to know the cuisine or you're not going to pair well with this establishment. You can't just drive off the street because you see food. You'll need to be prepared to dine. There is no one server per table. All the staff help everyone with anything they may need. It's all calmly lit and has a nice 80's atmosphere. Open floor, but the noise is kept to a bare minimum somehow. The food became something that changed my life 16 years ago. I never thought that could happen, but this is not just food. This is a work of self-care.

My SO who has a low spice tolerance definitely had a little bit of trouble with some dishes, but I definitely loved the spice.

Pros -There were a lot of vegetarian options that taste good. I actually thought the vegetarian choices tastes better than non-veg. My favorite veg dish was the mushroom masala fry, and my favorite non-veg was the Virudhu Nagar Chicken Pakora. -We got seated upstairs and although it's a lot of going up and downstairs to get food, I thought it was nice to be seated upstairs near the entrance so we got to see the whole restaurant. The buffet area looks impressive. I liked this portion of the restaurant but do feel that space is limited especially with large parties. -Staff were all very nice and helpful. -There was a dosa station. I didn't get to try because I was just so full! Cons -We went during lunchtime and although we didn't have to wait for a table, it was crowded at the buffet area when getting food, and at times people take a longer time getting food. -The non-veg was a bit disappointing as the taste was a bit bland, especially the curry types which should be bursting with flavors. -They offered a special fish dish but it has bones which I don't prefer. -They did not have my favorite puri when we were there! No Indian buffet restaurant should ever run out of puri or not offer! -There was mango ice cream and a variety of other desserts!
