Thalli with a wide variety of curries,salad, bread, dessert. I put a bit of everything on the bread and devour.
Kevin S.

I love this restaurant! I've started eating much more vegetarian food and was very excited when this restaurant opened. I went there at least three times per week for lunch. So much so I told the owner, Jitu I was becoming Indian. Everything on the menu is very fragrant, beautiful and delicious. My favorite is to order the Thalli because it give you a variety of rice, bread, curries, salad and dessert. It's a bargain. I also order a dosa and use it as a vehicle to hold small mix of portions of each of the aforementioned components. The place is clean and quiet. The service is great. The food comes out fast which is good for a lunch break. The owner, Jitu is usually present and very nice. He will guide first timers through the menu.

Food is totally a hit or miss here. I've ordered food from here a few times and ate at the restaurant once too. We bought quite a bit of food from here on Sunday. I was really disappointed by Pani puri as there were only 6 puris in each order, idk how to justify the price of $7.99 for that. Each pani puri over a $1 is insane to me. Chaat was quite delicious but no yogurt in chaat? My friends raised the same question, and it wasn't my first time getting chaat so there's that. Pav bhaji was also underwhelming, absolutely not good. And the worst was Gajar ka halwa. We didn't taste any carrot flavor at all, it was very sugary and there was food coloring, which I don't think is necessary as carrot is already orange? I realized it has food coloring when I saw that cashews were all colored orange. See pic. Samosa however was delicious. The lady I spoke with on the phone was quite nice but I had to tip her although I was picking up the food. I know I know I could do no tip but I get so nervous when they put that tip thingy up on the iPad. And I believe even when you dine in, you pick up after yourself and get your own silverware and such?? Ok now on to a more serious issue I've had here on September 2nd, 2023. I've had Rava masala Dosa here, and while it was very tasty, I had food poisoning here. However, I'd like to stress that this is the only time I got sick and I've eaten here multiple times. I had dined in, and I started having gastric issues the same night. For two days, I couldn't keep any food in me. Idk what else to add but although most food is decent, something or the other seems to go wrong every time we get food here. Edit: may be it was Mysore masala Dosa and not Rava masala Dosa but I stand by everything I say. Here's a pic of my husband with time stamp.

Walked in on a Saturday around 2 and the lady at the counter greeted us and gave us menus and offered assistance and recommendations which was so helpful, loved the atmosphere very peaceful and smelled so good and the food was just the cherry on top! The food portions were great, and I got a mango lassi which was so good since I love mango. Also, they do catering!! They also have been rewarded for best food in 2023 which I can see why, everything was great from the moment I walked in!

This is a good Indian street food spot! Very much needed in this area. We're from India and miss street food. We've visited this place a couple's times now and tried a variety of dishes. Pav bhaji, vada pav, Cholle Bhature, puri Chana and all of them were delicious!! We'll return soon!

Following a Google search and upon being repeatedly disappointed by the Indian food options/quality in the Houston metro area, ended up here for last night's dinner. Was looking for something new and this was proximate - reviews too were promising. Found the place inside one of the gazillion strip malls that dot the city - in the first block on the north side of Rayford, east of I-45. Getting to the place from the west is a bit tricky due to the road divider and requires a tight u-turn at the next left. The place is across a loud and lively seafood restaurant. Parking is ample, though the seafood place tends to suck up most of them. Interior of Khau Gully was spartan gray, with a lady at the counter upon entry. Ordering via a hard copy menu (all vegetarian) and payment occurs right at the counter and one gets a number to take to a table or booth of one's choice. The place was half-full (still plenty of space available), and looked clean - although had to request our table be thoroughly cleaned again due to crumbs, etc. Ordered chaats as some of the reviews had raved about them - dahi puri, bhel puri, aloo tikki, and mirchi pakora, with masala jeera soda (arrived in carbonated soda cans) to drink. Asked for the chaats to be made spicy. Food readiness is announced by the lady at the counter yelling out the number across the dining area - food arrived within 5-7 mins of ordering/paying, and looked fresh. Taste of all the chaats was spot-on, with a good balance of spice, tartness, salt, and sweetness - quantities were ample for the price ($ 7-8, each, roughly). Plasticware had to be picked up at the counter together with the food. A no-nonsense place with one of the better chaat offerings in the area. Would try again. Shied away from the South Indian dosas, idlis, and like snacks on offer as those tend to not be authentic (no offense, but the best ones are/need to be prepared from experienced native chefs from the area - Karnataka, Kerala, Andhra, and Tamil Nadu; most places serving such food tend to have chefs from the west or north of India and their South Indian food offerings are generally inauthentic). Overall, spent $42 on food and drink, including taxes and a 20% tip (trusting the tip goes to the folks serving/cleaning, which, sadly, I have found is not necessarily the case in Indian/Pakistani places - casting no aspersions here, just stating my experience). Good first experience at Khau Gully , plan to return to savor chaats again and also branch out to other offerings. Please do patronize this local eatery...

Mysore Masal Dosa
Dirck V.

As gastronomes of Indian and Pakistani food my wife and I decided to try Khau Gully. The restaurant is located in an older strip mall adjacent to CrabbyDaddy's Seafood and Bar. When we entered the restaurant we were not greeted by the front counter staff. This caused some confusion with how seating and ordering worked at this restaurant. We finally had to interrupt the texting session of the front counter staff to figure out the ordering process. We ordered two orders of Mysore masala dosas an order of samosas, puris and mango lassi. The Mysore masala dosas came with both a chutney and curry. Both the chutney and curry were delicious but the dosas were a little on the soggy side and lacked crispness. The samosas were well made and flavorful but the chutney was underwhelming. The puris were flat, oily and on the small side. The real winner of this meal was the mango lassi. It was absolutely delicious. This location has some real potential if they focus a little more on the basics of Indian cooking. Overall the pricing would be reasonable if the food was better prepared. It was definitely over-priced for average quality Indian vegetarian cuisine.

Came in for lunch. Not crowded at all. Very good flavor on their Chicken Tikka Masala. Spice level…read more3 was definitely hot enough for me. I like spice so level 3 was good. 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.

The Best Indian Food Experience of My Entire Life…read more Listen... I thought I was about to order some basic, predictable Indian food. But the owner stopped us mid-menu and said, "No. I've got you." And THANK GOD he did, because what he brought out changed my entire understanding of what good food is. First came the cauliflower appetizer and I'm not exaggerating when I say it was the single most amazing thing I have ever put in my mouth. Perfectly crispy, perfectly sauced, perfectly everything. I will be dreaming about that cauliflower for the rest of my life. Then he brought out two more dishes that were so good I had to just sit there in silence like I was having a spiritual awakening. You can feel the love and passion in his cooking. This man didn't just serve us food he served us his heart, his culture, his everything. The hospitality? Immaculate. You can tell this is his passion and it shines through every second you're there. Nicest man ever, best food ever, best experience ever. I am genuinely thankful to the universe for leading me to this restaurant. If you're wondering whether to go GO. And let him pick your food. Just trust the process. Absolute perfection.

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.

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.

We ordered take out- chicken dum biryani, tandoori, chicken, chicken, corn, soup, and garlic naan…read more The Biryani was very spicy when we had specifically asked for mild spice levels. The Biryani lacked flavor. The chicken soup was tasteless ( thickened with too much flour) and the garlic naan was too chewy. The only salvageable part of the meal was the tandoori chicken, which was probably baked because it didn't have the taste /char of being cooked in a Tandoor. There are many good Indian restaurants in the area - Hyderabad house, Silver Spoons etc. I really don't know why this restaurant has good reviews. Very disappointed.

It wasn't too busy, but had a few other customers. We ordered the hyderabadi chicken 65 (deep fried) & I got the veg kurma. The chicken was delicious. It was nice and crispy, juicy, and spicy. The spice had a nice depth & heat. I liked the onions too :) The veg kurma was pretty good. It had a great spice level. Both a mix of spice and heat without being too overpowering. The portion size was enough for two meals. I also got a cup of chai and it was the best chai I've had in a while!
