If you're not a fan of spicy, I would stick with level 1 or 2. I ordered mine with basil rice. Pretty good. I'll be back for sure. The restaurant itself is nothing fancy at all. Decor was very basic. I noticed one table that needed to be cleaned the entire time I was there. Bottom line - Really good Indian food. However, The lack of attention to detail in the dining area cost them a star. I'll be back. Bon appétit, y'all.

First time dining at Namaste…read more The food itself was delicious. They have a mixture of Indian and Chinese food options. We started with samosas, which were gobbled up immediately. So good. Then we ordered our entrees, which were full of flavor. I'd go back just for the noodles. They didn't have quite a few of the desserts I wanted, but they offered alternatives. It was okay. Not really a fan of fried foods, so it's not something I'd get again. The presentation was superb though. Each table has bottled water at room temperature. Service was good. Owner was friendly and kind. Located in a shopping complex so there is plenty of parking.

Why 4 stars? Because it was a perfectly fine experience…read more --- --- --- After landing at IAH, I was on the hunt to grab something quick on the way home. I had an alternate plan initially, but timing didn't work out for me, so I perused my bookmarks as I took the parking shuttle to my car and settled on Curry Masala. I called them once I got to my car and was told my order would be ready in about 20 minutes, as my GPS read out that I was 20 minutes from the restaurant. Everything was coming up Milhouse. Because I am a basic B, I ordered chicken tikka masala and butter chicken. It was ready about 3 minutes after I arrived, and off to home I headed. I enjoyed both, but thought the tikka masala was definitely the better of the two, and the wife agreed. We had a favorite Indian spot really close to here that has unfortunately closed down, so I have been on the hunt for a new one. Curry Masala did not quite match that level, but it's not a bad option when in the area.

If you don't like spicy or seasoned food, this place works for you and you don't need to continue this review. If you do care for those things and you try this place, you might agree that the flavor profile is catering to the demographic of the location that the restaurant is in and not the authenticity of the culture that it should represent. I know of another location, but this is not to take away business for one restaurant, but to help encourage this one to lean more into its authentic flavor. Even if that means moving locations because your demographic may not care for it. I had chicken Biryani (safe for an American) but the chicken was dry and with minimal flavor. The rice lacked flavor. The raita was ok, if you like everything blended together. The onions and lime/lemon you might usually have on the side was not offered with this. Fried cauliflower with chicken 65 seasoning, had a good spice level, but it was soggy.

The moment I walked through the door, the smell alone had me questioning why I hadn't ordered anything for myself. I walked up to the counter, gave them the name on the order, and boom the food was in my hands. I truly appreciate a restaurant that respects to-go times, and they absolutely nailed it. While exiting, I noticed they also offer a lunch buffet from 11-2:30 which immediately caught my attention for a future visit. Now comes the dangerous part. The kids opened their containers of butter chicken with rice and spicy aloo, and my mouth instantly started watering. The portions were generous, and I found myself asking the same question over and over...**Why didn't I order anything?!** Curiosity officially got the best of me, so yes... I stole a bite. Actually... maybe two. The butter chicken was incredibly flavorful with a rich, creamy sauce that had me wishing there was another container with my name on it. But the real surprise for me was the spicy aloo. I'd never had potatoes prepared quite like that before, and they completely stole the show. I wanted that entire side for myself. Needless to say, next time I'm not just picking up food for the family I'm ordering my own meal too. This visit was more than enough to convince me I'll be back to explore the rest of the menu.

If you're searching for a culinary experience that's local, I highly recommend Amrina. We were greeted with a wonderful sign from the Amrina team wishing us a happy anniversary. The service was exceptional, and the entire experience felt so special. Every bite of food was flavorful. The presentation was creative and beautiful. All the staff were knowledgeable in the dishes and shared great suggestions for cocktails. Thank you to Chef Jassi Bindra & team for making our anniversary so memorable.

To be honest, when I made the reservation we didn't reserve anything with the tapas menu but we went with it. We were sat near the bar giving us the view of the kitchen and asked to check out the menus. I did the vegetarian tapas and my husband did the non vegetarian tapas. I absolutely love Indian street food so this worked out. In order we recieved: Pani puri - the puris were crunchy, had some spice and the passionfruit topping was adding the tangy spice, delicious! It also had avocado and fruit which is so unique. Presentation was picture worthy! Papidi chaat- not one of my favorites but tasted pretty usual, I enjoyed the yogurt also giving it some tang. Bhel puri- tasted like your typical bhel puri but the topping placed on the top was very unique- made it seem a little more high end. Pok pok po - the presentation was very unique- I almost didn't understand the dog statue as seen in my photo but the food was still good! But I also learned that the chef has another sister restaurant downtown called Pok Pok Po mainly Indian style chicken. Paneer wrap- had some heat! The chutney was a good addition to the wrap Birthday chai bomb- there was a chocolate ball where you pour hot chai on top and it was delicious! Choice of popsicle- the last item- at this point we were extremely full, I picked the passion fruit popsicle and it was fresh and delicious! The presentation again didn't really make any sense to me. Overall- the tasting menu was actually a really good surprise and delicious! I wound highly recommend! The staff were great, the chef brought us one item and introduced himself- definetly felt like a special night.

Then came out for a brief second to take some orders including mine then again off to the back. Later I saw another guy come out of the back to use the restroom. And then another poke his head out to deliver some food. So I guess there are more folks working. Just terribly slow. About 6 people on average waiting for service at any given time throughout our wait. If they could up their staffing that would definitely help. The look of exasperation on folks faces while they waited was more than evident. Our wait was 10 minutes to order and 30 minutes to get the food. Not impressed. But I noticed all the customers (other than us) were ordering boatloads of food. So what can one do. As for the food, we got the butter Marsala which the owner said is butter chicken. And also a side of cheese garlic naan. The naan didn't travel well but I think fresh it would've been fantastic. It is Garlic with a capital G. You can smell it a mile away. And I love garlic by the way. The butter chicken has a great flavor. Not a whole lot of chicken but sufficient for the size I suppose. It comes with flakey white rice.

Most of the customers during my visit were Indian, so that was a good sign. The name of the restaurant sounded a little familiar but it turns out they have over 20 locations in 4 different regions of the world. Their 1st US restaurant was in Houston and their 1st franchise restaurant was this location in The Woodlands. With so many choices on the menu, some items I've never even heard of, I took a chance on a new curry I had never eaten which the server said was spicier than the vindaloo. I chose the andhra curry with goat and a garlic naan. The dish was around $18, plus with the naan and it wasn't exactly a bargain priced meal for one. The curry was possibly a tad bit spicier than my usual vindaloo at other Indian restaurants and it had a very nice flavor. My biggest complaint was that the dish was smaller than I expected. I was able to eat all the curry and most of the naan, which I'm usually never able to do at most Indian restaurants. Service was very friendly though, so I will be back to try other dishes soon.

Also got the butter masala with chicken aka butter chicken. Comes with white rice. I liked it more than the briyani. Also got the garlic naan. Loved that one. The sole worker was running frantically between tables and doing take away and the cash register. Geez. Felt bad for him so I can't complain that I didn't get a water refill but I really needed it because of the spice. Sucks. Nothing really wow'd me here but it did satisfy the craving we had for butter chicken

Apparently my kids have entered their Indian cuisine era, and I'm completely here for it…read more We ordered Tarka Indian Kitchen to-go and everybody had their own pick. We went with three kids meals: the Biryani Rice Bowl, Tikka Curry Bowl, and Coconut Curry Bowl, paired with strawberry or mango lemonade. And because my kids have apparently decided garlic naan is an absolute requirement now, we grabbed a couple of those too. This was another HIT! Everybody liked their own choice so much that before long, they were splitting everything up so they could taste each other's dishes. The sauces were flavorful, everything traveled well, and each dish gave them something a little different without being too much for the kids. And the garlic naan? Gone. I feel like I barely saw it before it disappeared. Next time, clearly, we need more. I also really liked that the kids had actual flavorful meal options to choose from. Sometimes kids menus feel like the same few foods everywhere you go, so being able to order them their own curry and biryani bowls was a nice change especially when they genuinely enjoyed them. Needless to say, Tarka has officially earned a spot on the kids' To-Go Friday list. When all three kids approve AND everybody wants a bite of everybody else's food, we have ourselves a winner.

The chicken was perfectly cooked, super tender, and packed with flavor. Every bite had the right balance of spices without being overpowering. You can tell everything is made fresh and with care. The samosas were crispy on the outside with a flavorful filling, and their tikka sauce on the side took it to another level. The chicken pakoras were just as impressive -- crispy, well-seasoned, and not greasy at all. And let's talk about that desi spicy ranch... absolute game changer. It paired perfectly with everything and honestly made the whole meal a 10/10. This is officially my new favorite Indian spot. Highly recommend if you're craving bold, flavorful, and perfectly cooked Indian food. Also, the prices are out great and the service is extremely fast! I'm editing this review because I just tried the tikka masala and the coconut curry as well as the garlic naan at a different location and even their chicken Pecora's at the other location in Montrose was not as good. I would rather drive to spring and go to this location tasted better. coconut curry was good however it's not better than the tikka masala so I wouldn't get it again same with the garlic naan it was good but not something I need cause it comes with basmati rice and I need to remember next time to get the tikka masala at normal heat rather than hot. I feel like the hot overpowers the flavor.
