I think the food here was decent/around average, but the quality of service really decreased the experience for me. They forgot our Garlic Naan orders multiple times, and got confused about how many of each dish we ordered. The chicken karahi I got was okay, but was a little bit lacking in flavor and protein amount. I did enjoy the mango lassi though! read more

If you expect to compete with the likes of Aga's and other Indo-Pak restaurants in the greater Houston area, the owners or management of this establishment need to read this clearly, two times. Elite, please hire servers that know how to execute the job description. I shouldn't have to flag my waitress down to order basic items like drinks for the table. It's common sense to check on a table that is sitting. Also when we tell you we are ready to order, don't tell us to hold on and proceed to disappear for 10 minutes. Yes waitress in the Hijab, I'm talking to you. On a busy Mother's Day dinner night; why are there so many people cleaning and so little amount of servers? It makes no sense. Also please teach your staff to not wear the same gloves to serve food, clean dirty tables and get to-go boxes for customers. Those gloves are 100% cross contaminated and I feel like that is food safety 101. I never let service affect my ratings but I am waiving my white flag and surrendering to the atrocities I experienced today along with my family. Even on my way out, I thanked our waitress to be polite and she didn't even acknowledge us. Yes, waitress in the Hijab, I'm talking to you. The owners or management of this place are either entirely clueless or severely impaired. The food was mediocre at best. The goat karahi tasted as if they burnt the tomato sauce. Their lassi isn't even a lassi, it's like a mango shake. A majority of the meats in the mixed grill were either overcooked or just plain bad. I'm not hating. I promise. I'm calling it as I see it. This place is just that terrible. I won't be back. read more

The restaurant is big and has plenty of seatings. There is a Lantern Banquet Hall in the restaurant too. The restaurant is located in front of a big parking lot and parking is free. The restaurant has a simple but pretty decor too. They offer a simple lunch menu which I ordered a Vegetable Thali from. There was sweet rice kinda, chickpea curry, okra, spinach with tofu, matar paneer (maybe), a small amount of basmati rice, a plain naan, and a crispy papad. The small dishes of vegetables were flavorful. I don't really like the naan though because I could taste a little flour on it. I also had the vegetable samosa which had good filling but the skin was a little too thick. I also had the mint lemonade drink which was very refreshing. I highly recommend it. I received great service today. The staff were very friendly and attentive. I would visit the restaurant again to try other dishes. read more

Beautiful ambiance, attentive servers, the best chicken tikka leg I ever had, crispy outside and tender moist inside and marinated well. Beef samosa was excellent, the masala chai tea is fantastic. Love this place. Definitely will come back to try other dishes. read more

I am greatly dissatisfied with the customer service at this restaurant. While I have dined here previously and found the ambiance to be pleasant, the quality of food was below average. Recently, I called to inquire about the Ramadan buffet for a reservation and was extremely disappointed with the response and attitude of the individual who answered my call. read more

The food was not that great but the Mango Lassi (drink) tastes good. The service was not good but it needs to be improved for a restaurant.

I didn't know what to expect in coming here, but I was pleasantly surprised. I went for brunch on a Sunday and did their brunch buffet. The pricing was super affordable for a buffet line (around $17/person) and they had a decent spread. They literally had a row for breakfast items and a row of lunch items - put them together and you get brunch! I would suggest getting there early, around 11:30am or so since it can get crowded really quickly. It's nice to get there early and have first pick at the fresh food as well. It definitely gets super packed around 12 or 12:30, so if you're hungry, I would go early, or go later. The food was pretty good. They had some American breakfast foods, like pancakes and cereal, but of course, what they excel in is the Indo-Pak foods. Their lunch was mainly Indo-Pak items and it was delicious. There's a good variety of items in the lunch line and it was enough to get you full for sure. Also, don't skip out on the Chai! It was so good, and a great way to warm you up! read more

You know its a pretty solid place when it gets packed before noon time. Indo Pak brunch was the main fare when I attended on Sunday morning and they had a decent spread. However I would say for the more familiar, their spread may not be as impressive as my initial reaction. Their breakfast items still consisted of mostly egg, bread and typical cereals and if they're trying to capitalize on that as 'Brunch' then I can see why you may feel jipped. They also have a line of lunch items on the other side of the dining hall which I found delicious. Items tend to go out quick and lines are slow, but that is just testament of the good food they have. Overall a good place for some daytime food. Will come back! read more

We were there for Brunch very first time. We entered at 11:30AM and there were only few people but when we were leaving around 2PM it was packed. Food: I am a light eater and enjoyed pata and Nihari although there were many other items but I like to eat only what I love. There were Halva Puri station and a full American Breakfast which I have not seen anywhere else. Very nice ambiance and very clean and modern restrooms. The dinner should not abuse the place and should not waste food as well. Please! Ample parking and great service. In the end I don't mind going back again. Keep up the good work fellows read more

Recently tried this place with family and friends for dinner. It's in a pretty busy area and they have a variety of food including a buffet. Gets busy in the evenings but would come back to try again. read more

The restaurant boasts a beautiful ambiance and excellent service. The waitresses were friendly and took the time to explain the various dishes and gave us recommendations, which we appreciated. We tried the masala fries, butter chicken, hara masala karahi, elite chicken karahi, zeera rice, and garlic naan. While the hara masala karahi stood out as my favorite, it was a bit too salty. The other dishes, were too mild and lacked rich flavors I've experienced at other Indo-Pak restaurants. That said, the pricing is reasonable, but I'm not sure if it's enough to bring me back. read more

Party of two, arrived on Saturday evening with reservations for 6:45, well ahead of the dinner rush. Seated promptly. Table service was slow, but eventually arrived. Waitress was really patient with me when I couldn't make up my mind with ordering. Chicken tikka boti was really good although the portion size was surprisingly small. Mango lassi was amazing. Goat biryani never even arrived at the table. Waitress checked by twice, apologizing and saying "two more minutes." The third time, she said something about the kitchen burned it, and would I like the chicken biryani instead? We've been here just almost an hour at this point and my colleague has completely finished eating. No thanks. Check please. Not coming back. read more

We arrived and there was noone there, but we're told to wait as they were setting up for reservations. When they seated us, the booth was so tight that we couldn't fit in it and asked for another booth. We were told that nothing was available even though only two other parties had been seated. Anyone who has ever worked in a restaurant knows you only seat a certain number of people at each time slot, and unless someone specifically asks for a certain table or location, you don't make reservations by table numbers. Anyway, since they had no seats for us, we left. read more

They have lunch combos at great price. We've tried 2 so far and going back to try the rest. Portions are generous. read more

Food was nasty and service was really bad cause the owner like a to yell and treat his employees with no respect there was no flavor or enough protein whoever is cooking the food needs to out the kitchen bbq taste like there was no seasoning I was really disappoint with the flavors read more

Some of the bad reviews are so strange. I've been to elite 5 times so far and it's been fantastic each time. The food 5/5: Chicken handi, elite Karahi, chicken biryani, mixed platter are all very delicious and flavorful. Service 5/5: I've been here with a group of 10 and often with just my kids. Each time the service is timely and very professional. All the servers I've dealt with go above and beyond and do a great job. Ambiance 5/5: I love how spacious and nice the interior is. One of the nicest Desi restaurants when it comes to comfort and decor. Such a nice good spot. This restaurant should be much more appreciated than it is. read more

Any Indian Pakistani restaurant carries same entrees & taste is similar & authentic. That is given. Nothing great with ambiance. What sets it apart is the service & how it treats guests across board. Had been thinking of trying this place for long since it opened but it is 30 minutes away. Anyhow I called & was told it closed on Saturday at 11pm. Yelp & their website said same, so we rushed & reached there at 10:10 & were told the kitchen closes at 10:30, so in a way refused service. That was strange, it was empty literally on a Saturday. It still had almost 45 minutes to serve but did not. Not sure why they would say closing at 11 pm but refuse service & we were just 2 people not a huge party, I think it would do them good if they don't market 11 pm time for Saturday. read more

Elite has become my family's favorite weekend restaurant. Their buffet has everything you want and more. They have some of the best paaya that I constantly find myself craving during the week. Their nihari, choley, and puri are also some of our faves. The food is fresh and plentiful and you get to top it off with yummy gulab jamun, kheer, and chai!! Service and ambiance are also lovely. I feel inclined to dress up and enjoy seeing other big families comes together for weekend brunch. The only reason I'm giving 4/5 stars is bc whenever I've had their food at a catered event, it's honestly been terrible. That doesn't stop us from coming in for the weekend brunch read more

I've been wanting to check out this place since it was opened. Beautiful spacious place with friendly staff who were very attentive. Every table got a sanitizer and bottled water. Big menu so much to choose from. Staff was helpful with recommendations. Everything we had was delicious, serving bigger than most Indian places we've been to. They even gave us free ice cream WITH WHIP CREAM & SPRINKLES. The only downfall was no alcohol-- the mojito is virgin. We didn't realize that till we ordered and take a sip. I was surprised the bill for all the food was $70. Love it. We'll be back read more

Great new addition to the Sugar Land area. Located in the Imperial area, we had a good Sunday lunch. The decor is very tastefully done and with the large windows, it is a very airy ambiance. We were one of 2-3 tables initially but when we left, there was a good 10 tablets filled with people. Looking over their menu, they had the usual dishes that you would find in an Indo-Pak restaurant and also a few extra additions. We started out with the Kashmiri chai which was flavorful. For appetizers, the masala fries were a hit with us as they were crispy and not soggy due to the seasoning. For our main meal, we had garlic rice (never seen this before but it helped elevated the dishes especially if you love garlic), naan (some of the softest naan I have had!), palak paneer (SUPER good with a creamy base), balti daal (very cute presentation but also great smoky taste) and lamb chops (slightly underwhelming, cooked a bit too much so the meat was a bit tougher). The service was very attentive and made sure we were comfortable the entire time. They have a great lunch menu which is very reasonably priced so I plan on coming back again for that. Overall, had a good experience and would recommend it! read more

In town from LA and my family wanted to come here for the lunch buffet. I was skeptical due to the reviews, but this place is so delicious!!! They have such a big variety of dishes. We loved the Malai Boti!! Could not stop eating. The food is on the spicer side, so be sure to get some yogurt if you are sensitive. They also had chicken nuggets and French fries for my picky toddler! Really impressed with that. The chai and Kheer were a perfect end to our meal. Service was great and loved the ambience! read more

Amazing food, excellent service and high value for portion size! Beautiful restaurant that is family friendly. I highly recommend!

I have tried them a few times, and every time I come out, I say to myself that I would never go back there. Food and service both are below minimum. Daily special is food from previous days and is mostly garbage. There are several options in Houston, and this is the worst restaurant I have ever been to. read more

I have eaten at many other places throughout Houston like Vic & Anthony's Steakhouse & Agha and many more but for a Indo & Pak resturant this is the cream Of the crop when it comes to Customer service & Taste of the food & the Ambiance & decor. Lastly the restrooms were so clean ! Keep up the good work & services ! read more

Excellent food and great service. Please note they are very busy in the late evening so please be patient. I went with my family around 6pm where we got the booth seating immediately. After pressing the order button on the table the waitress showed up and took our order. Ordered Goat Chop (just WOW better than Aga's in my opinion) tikka boti and some kadahi...all taste very nice and fresh. The manager stop by and made sure everything is good and per our satisfaction. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for an authentic Pakistani/Indian food. Great Taste and love the overall vide of the restaurant. Give them a try and promise you will NOT be disappointed. By the way they have VIP room in the back...I am definitely planning to host bday party there. read more

Service and staff were great. The ambiance was nice. The food and drink were good. Some hits and some misses. We ordered vegetable samosas. They weren't bad but a little oily for us. Chicken tikka masala was good but not spicy hot. Elite karahi was spicer but very oily and there were bones. The chicken reshmi was our favorite. It had good flavor. We were able to get tawa paratha without butter, which was a plus. The mango mojito was interesting. read more

Very nice. I ordered goat korma and a lunch combo that included butter chicken and spicy shredded beef sorry I don't know the name of it. But my food was cooked fresh to order. They were set up for night time buffet and there is a banquet room. I would say the food here is better than Aga's but the location is out in sugar land. Aga's is a bit closer to town and has excellent staff. So both have there pros and cons but i enjoyed the food more here at Elite Indo Pak. read more

Good choice of dishes on buffet. Recommend for families. Ambience is very good. Price is reasonable.

Called in to order. Customer service was AWFUL. The lady was rude, and it honestly felt like it was a bother that we called to place an order. Since it was Christmas, our options were limited so I stuck through. We asked for extra condiments and were met with "you'll get whatever we give". Um. Okay. She proceeds to ask for credit card info, indicating they won't take a phone order without it. I order take out a lot and have yet to come across someone else with this rule. Fine, cc number was given. $90 later, we have 2 small containers of the red sauce and 2 small of the green. Really? The food was good, but I'm not about to support an establishment that doesn't value its customers. Literally felt unwelcome. read more

Very nice decor and clean. They have a great lunch menu I might try next time. Service was good, the food came out hot and fresh. It may take a bit to come out so just be aware if you're in a rush. The lamb chops (~$25) were really delicious and flavorful. The portions were generous for 3-4 people. Samosas appetizer were light and crispy had a good kick to it Elite chicken curry (~$14) was spicy and went perfect with the naan. Would definitely come back! It's very comparable if not better than the other well known Indo-pak restaurant in the area. read more

My husband and I tried Elite for dinner tonight. It did not disappoint! Really fantastic! We ordered the Butter Chicken, beef kabobs, nan and rice. All were flavorful and very generous portions. We ordered the vegetable fried rice to take home for a child. Huge amount for just a few dollars. The service was spot on with the waiter making recommendations for the spice level. The restaurant is very posh and upscale (for Sugar Land) we will definitely be back. read more

Lovely restaurant, loved the bottled water, good service, food was tasty - only deterrent (which is no fault of the restaurant) was the loud kid unmanaged by parents in far table which I'm sure made dining not pleasant not just for us, but for all patrons because he was whining for at least 30 minutes on and off. This made for such an unpleasant dining experience and ruined our ambiance but the restaurant's service, food, and pricing was on point. We ordered garlic naan-delicious! garlic rice- good. Butter chicken and tiki masala-both large portions and good. We also had veggie samosas (3 pieces)- good except I bit into a pea that was cold- minor. We will return (hopefully without the screaming patron next time). The owners and service personnel were very nice as well :-) read more
