    Fantastic Chicken Tikka Masala Meal !!!
    Michael C.

    I made a long trip tonight to finally try this place seeing the praises it has before heading to the Galleria for some nighttime holiday shopping. I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala and it was very delicious and unique in its own way with an authentic style. The chicken pieces were smoky with good charbroil flavor and amount. The gravy was dense in texture, sweet, kinda spicy and kinda tangy in a distinct way. It seemed to have a good amount of heavy cream in it or something. The herb flavors used in it were noticeable and mixed well with the flavor types I mentioned to make it even more interesting. The service from the owner's son was very welcoming, friendly and efficient. The prices are great here imo too. The curry came with free side of rice and with my drink included it was twenty bucks on the dot for the whole meal.

    Picked up some take out food. The service was quick and good. The owner came out to greet. They are under a new management now, so the free drink on check-in is no longer valid. But she still honored it. As for the food, the Eggplant bharta was amazing. Highly recommended. Their parathas were also soft and fresh, and huge in size. Loved their plain parathas the best. The lassi was kinda average. Have had much better. Same with the paneer curry. Plus the mutter paneer was milder than mild for the medium we ordered, so if you like medium, I guess you should probably say hot But overall a good experience, and we will definitely be back soon for more!

    This place has the best saag paneer ever! It was an honor to even be allowed to eat this delicacy. Seriously, I ate two plates of saag paneer. Felt 9 months pregnant when I left, but it was definitely worth it. The naan bread and mango mousse were fantastic too! Definitely in my top 3 Indian restaurants in Houston. Edit: I forgot to mention how affordable their buffet is! It is only $12.95 for an adult on the weekend.

    Them Punjabi samosas

    One evening last week, I started craving Indian curry cuisine, and Lo! I found Gourmet India in the neck of my woods. I kind of grazed through their menu online, to see if they carried beef products, as a lot of them do not. This place does not carry beef products (religious reasons). The parking lot has plenty of spaces, and we were greeted immediately upon entrance, and seated. Our waiter came and took our drink orders. We opted for punjabi samosas for appetizer, a whole tandoori chicken for main course and a chicken biryani also. The samosas came, and I was very disappointed with the size. Usually that kind of samosas are pretty big in size with bunch of stuffed potatoes, but these were petite lil thangs!. The tandoori chicken looked pretty delicious and it was sizzling when brought to our table. There were plenty of sautéed onions accompanied with lemon wedges and the chicken was cut up in like 4-5 piece, nicely displayed on the bed of onions. It tasted ok. It was lacking salt, and needed more seasoning. I have had better tandoori chicken at several other establishments. The chicken biryani was ok too. Unfortunately, I could taste the seasoning with every bite and so the biryani ended up being too over bearing. Also, there was not enough chicken mixed in with the rice. While other folks may still consider it acceptable, I have definitely had better biryani and tandoori at other places. I still recommend for first timers to try the semi blander version of tandoori, before they work their way up to the spicy, sooo seasoned version. Other than that, service was fine. The manager on duty was also waiting tables, so it was all hands on deck. I just found out that this establishment has a group on offer available too.

    Authentic Indian food off Westheimer in a run down shopping center. Don't let the outside appearance deter you from going in. Restaurant looks clean on the inside and staff are friendly. I've been looking for a good authentic Indian place and so glad I found this place. Goat curry and keema curry were both really good. It's not the cheapest price-wise, but worth it for authentic, quality food.

    Fresh salad

    The food was absolutely delicious and so very flavorful. The service was wonderful. Our waitress was also the owner. She was so sweet and pleasant. She was patient and prompt. The vibe of the place is great for a date night. Nice and cozy ambiance. It appears they have a lunch buffet that we can't wait to go back and try out.

    Even take out is good!

It would have been nice if the staff had made it clear or asked if we wanted to add it to our meal. Perhaps there was a mix up with another table. Our experience was otherwise great, but double check the menu for what is complimentary and what isn't.

    Foreign Grill was decent. I didn't realize until I got there that it's a part of a food hall. Comfy…read morebooth seating and free wifi. Should've checked for plugs to see whether it could be a study/work spot. I found this place after going to a lovely Georgian spot in NY. Had to share the Kachapuri experience with the fam at home. But the hubby didn't feel like that much cheese (5 types, to be exact) tonight, and he opted for the plov plus some sort of dumpling (I picked khinkali based on the kind cashier's recommendation). Plov: I very rarely order rice dishes anywhere outside of the goat biriyani at Himalayas, but this turned out to be the best dish there. The lamb was so tender and the sauerkraut paired perfectly. The flavors were on point - but the dish was pretty small, and that I have a problem with. If a rice dish is $17 before tax, at least make it sizable. 4/5 due one point being docked for portion size. Khinkali: Really wanted to like this but at $17 for 4 dumplings, they needed to be phenomenal - and they didn't deliver. I like that they handmake it at the restaurant. I don't like that it was SO oversalted. So. Salty. And parts of the dough were undercooked. 2/5 Borscht: I added the borscht because a) I love borscht but more because b) the khinkali was so salty (have I said that yet?) and I was looking for something to balance it out. I even asked as I was ordering if it's not very salty. I hadn't ordered it originally because I didn't think a bowl of soup was worth $15 before tax. But I got it anyway, and I can say: 1. It's good - but still quite salty, and 2. It comes in an even smaller bowl than I had thought; 3. I still don't think it's worth it. 3.5/5 overall So that comes out to 3.17 stars on the food front. I'd give the cashier/cook/waitress 5/5 (maybe she owns it? Or is the manager?) though. For ambiance, I would give 3/5. If I ask myself how the visit was, I'd say it was ok but I wouldn't go out of my way to go back. For me that's a solid 3/5.

The broth also had no flavor and was just liquid fat. (Yes I am aware lamb is a fatty meat but this was an extreme amount). I ate a bite and gave up. I couldn't get myself to eat another bite. It wasn't for me. 2 khachapuri--it was served piping hot. Was pretty good. The bread was soft and rich with the creamy and heavy filling. 3. Chicken samsa-- no for me. I had a few bites and then realized the chicken is really chicken etc. meaning it was chicken and whatever parts of the chicken (cartilage, collagen, fat etc.) if you're not used to eating this, it's a very strange texture. The pastry was flaky and crisp and the sauce it came with had some flavor but the filling lacked salt and basically seasoning. It came with a carrot salad(?) which had a strange after taste. I love all things veggies and I couldn't take more than a bite. The ambiance is a food hall with very loud music and super casual vibes. The price is very high for a food hall. We paid $55 (including two water bottles). If your meat has fillers (meat parts)--shouldn't it be cheaper? This place isn't for me sadly. I won't be coming back. Wishing them the best.

The place is new but not recently new, so I was impress that they were still attracting a crowd. The place was packed and busy but the host was still able to seat us immediately. With reservation, of course. Our seat was a banquet seating and when the host directed us to our table, we notice the party seated next to our table had placed all their personal belongings on our seats. We had to ask the host to ask them to remove their personals so that we can sit down. I felt that the host should have done that and not upon our request. Our server was Keamogetswe and she jumped right into explaining the menu since it was our first time. I am used to ordering drinks first and while waiting for our drinks, explore the food menu. That way, we can ask questions about any item we were unfamiliar with on the menu. Anyways, we ordered our food and they came out very fast. For starters, we had the grilled shrimp which was just two shrimps. They were not prawns so the size of the two shrimps for $18 was not worth it to me. We also tried the Rumi's wings. They were average to me. Nothing to brag about. For the main course, we wanted to try several dishes and settle for a family style meal. We had the braised lamb shank, chicken kabob and the Koobideh Kabob. Since all plates came with rice, Keamogetswe suggest we try different rice options which was a great suggestion. So for the rice, we had the Adas, the Baghali and the Shirin. I have to admit that the braised lamb was amazing. The stew it sat in was very flavorful and the meat melted off the bone it came with. The Koobideh was also another favorite of mine. Both, I highly recommend everyone to try. And my favorite rice was the Shirin. As we moved on to dessert, we had the burnt honey & pistachio cake and the persian ice cream sandwich. Both taste great but the persian ice cream sandwich itself was vanilla wafer. Different but it made it easier to eat with your fingers. The weird thing was when the dessert was served to us, so was the check. I am used to us eating dessert or just starting to enjoy dessert before being handed the check. And when they do hand me the check, they would mention that it was no rush and when I am ready to take care of it. But that didn't happen and I decided to get it out of the way so I can just enjoy the dessert. As we were conversing and finishing our drinks, they started to clear our table and even picked up the signed check or tab. It felt like they were hinting us to get up. I feel that if there was a time frame to dine with them, they should have made us aware of it before dinner or when we made reservation like how Toca Madera does. So that made me feel uncomfortable. But this could just be me.
