    You can't go wrong with the classics and India's gets them very right. From the moment you enter the restaurant, you are greeted with friendly staff and a grand yet comfortable interior. Every time I order to-go, the food is ready on time and still fresh! I loveeee the saag paneer, malai kofta, chicken tikka, naan, tandoori and kheer! While having a rich and authentic taste, the spice level is not overpowering for people like me who like it mild haha. The dessert is sweet and refreshing, a perfect finish.

    Buffet option

    This used to be my favorite place in the early 2000. But then Houston expands with more options to choose for Indian cuisine and I haven't been back for a long time. They now serve buffet for lunch at about $20 and a là carte but the menu price is about $20 too. I'm not a big fan of buffet so I was willing to pay the butter chicken from the menu but I asked the server if it comes with naan ,he said it didn't come with anything. That's odd bcoz at other restaurants they do serve with naans. Therefore I decided to eat the buffet options. Food wasn't that great anymore and services definitely was awful. There were a lot of servers but not friendly. They all looked so grouchy like they have to be there to work, so weird. To top this is a buffet so literally they don't have to do much of services. The place used to be packed and now it looks so empty. Hopefully the owner will look into it and makes some changes since the competition is quite strong these days. I'm a bit disappointed bcoz I brought 2 friends with me and bragging about how wonderful was in the early 2000.

    Soda are no refillable.  No fizzle.  Expensive considering it's a fountain drink and not a good one at that.  Small too.

    I was craving for Indian food and saw that India's is supposed to have the best lunch buffet and offered a variety of popular dishes. It was not very busy when I came in. There were people sitting at the booths by the windows but empty otherwise. Ordered soda and found out later they charge per glass (non-refillable). It wasn't even good with no fizz. They didn't put ice on it so not cold too. Suggest they provide a can of cold soda with ice instead. They do have ice tea that is refillable. My first plate consists of butter chicken, saag paneer, fried onions and tandoori chicken. Thought the fried onions were good esp with chutney. The butter chicken sauce was tasty but the chicken itself was dry. The tandoori chicken was dry too and would have like it with more spices. The saag paneer was different from what I remember... thought it should have more taste to it. Also tried the rest of the entrees. Lamb curry has a tasty sauce. Lamb was not chewy but not tender. There was a cabbage dish and another chicken dish which were ok. I like the sauces more than the meats or vegetables. They served fresh naan on the table. Ended the meal with mango pudding and rice pudding. Wish they had fresh fruits or traditional dessert like gulab jaman. Overall, if you want a variety of Indian food to try, this place is ok but I have tasted better. They displayed a lot of the awards on one wall. Maybe they do better for dinner? I'll let others be the judge.

    Manchurian cauliflower not on the menu

    Food - average Indian food in houston, average price. This is my first time here and we ordered a few dishes the servers recommended including the chicken tika masala, lamb Rogan josh, Manchurian fried cauliflower, chaat, naan, rice. The curry needs a little more depth in the flavor. Meat wasn't particularly tender. Wouldn't recommend the Manchurian cauliflower it's like orange chicken or general Tso chicken but cauliflower version and it's not even crispy. Service - friendly Ambiance - nice clean organized, love the booth areas

Several different street food options or bowl options for an authentic experience. I didn't too much like the butter chicken burger as it was just a slab of dipped butter, chicken with tomato and a huge onion slice about half an inch thick but overall it was okay. Would not get again. It also came with French fries and these were extremely basic from a frozen bag. Very dull. Unfortunately I didn't realize the burger came with fries and I additionally ordered loaded tikka masala fries so instead of it being a replacement for the fries with a burger I just had two huge orders of fries. Seemed like something that the person taking the order could've mentioned before I ordered it. Also had the lamb baryani, tikka masala and garlic naan. This was amazing! Tasted so good. Deep in flavor and of course spices The naan was amazing And everything came out really hot! You can smell the flavors and the spices when you walked into the restaurant. We'll definitely be back to try different things on the menu

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.

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.
