The chicken in the chicken biryani was extremely dry as if it was leftover and reheated too long. There was maybe a saucer full of rice and a lot of foil in the container. The chicken 65 was okay. I now know why there was just 4 people in there when I picked up my order. If you're going to charge outrageous prices for food, at least make it palatable!

refresher for lunch... Just stumbled upon this scrolling…read moredown the street on Maps...Indian Cuisine...OK, OK!... Chic, Bright, Raw feeling materials for decor. Certainly trendy, but, don't feel put off...its still chill enough to be your spot for lunch. Valerie directs me to just what i needed. Indian inspired dishes. I get the butter masala lamb! So there are multiple choices of Tikka bowls. Valerie recommends the Butter Masala, and I choose Lamb for my Protein. Choose your spice, I choose hot. I'm avoiding rice, so I sub out for veg. (peas, carrots, onions and the like) This is the perfect lunch portion for me with left over sauce I am sad to see go into the bin! Not too heavy to need a nap and perfect enough to not need a dessert! Wow, was Val right! That butter Masala was perfectly spicy, and so buttery and full flavored, I couldn't believe it. Even after all my lamb and veggies were gone, I kept lapping up forkfulls of the curry, just to get another hit of flavor and spice. Soooo, good. So not busy, and it should be. So priced right for the filling lunch. So original and true to its roots. Plus, this place is cool, hip, post industrial and utilitarian in a fully commercially produced way that works on so many levels. I want to feel like I am at the Starbucks of Indian Fare. They carry an assortment of self-serve teas and so many menu items I could not explore alone on lunch. Tomball; the next culinary destination in your adventure? Start here!

Grab your drink and seat yourself. Wait for your name to be called. Cute small place for Indian food. 4. Food - the food was pretty good. I recommend their CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA. you can pick your spice level (mild, medium, or hot). They have wings and pizza here! 5. Cleanliness - dining area and restrooms appear clean. Customers typically clean up their own mess. I didn't see anyone wiping down the tables during our visit though. We had some minor water drops and stains on our table from the previous customer. We did have to wipe down ourselves. But nothing major that deterred us from staying.

We've been regular customers at Monks Bistro and it's one of our favorite Indian restaurants in…read moreCypress, so this experience was especially disappointing. We placed a to-go order and waited about 30 minutes before picking it up. We live 30 min away so it's not like they're close to us. After pickup and leaving the parking lot, we realized the order was incorrect. We received our Tikka Masala, but instead of the Veggie Saag we ordered, we were given samosas. We called, explained what happened, and were asked to come back so they could swap the order. We were already tired from a long morning with our 5-year-old and 2-year-old, but we turned around and came back. What disappointed me wasn't simply that the order was wrong. We understand mistakes happen. It was how the mistake was handled. When we returned, they took back the samosas, charged us the roughly $8 difference for the Saag, and had us wait while it was prepared. There was no real apology or acknowledgment of the inconvenience and no gesture to make up for having us turn around and come back because of their error. I understand paying the difference between two items, and I wasn't expecting anything extravagant. But good customer service could have been as simple as apologizing, letting us keep the samosas that had already left the restaurant and likely couldn't be served again anyway, offering us a drink while we waited, or making some other small gesture to acknowledge the inconvenience. Did they offer any of that....nope. Instead, we ended up sitting in the car longer with two tired, fussy young kids while waiting for the correct food after already waiting for the original order. We've eaten here many times and normally have a great experience, which is why this was so surprising. Mistakes with an order are understandable. How you respond to the mistake is what customers remember, and unfortunately, the customer service in this situation fell short.

Popular food truck located in a car wash lot along Louetta, between TCJester and Steuben Airline…read more Parking is very tight as one of the two entrances/exits is coned off - makes entry/exit quite difficult during popular times. Serves Punjabi-style vegetarian/vegan fare; includes Indo-Chinese staples (Goni Manchurian, Hakka Noodles, Fried Rice, etc.), chaats, and South Indian dosas/uttapams (from experience, always wary of North Indian restaurants attempting to mimic South Indian fare). Picked up dinner last night- great service! Ordered Gobi Manchurian, Szechuan Hakka Noodles, Paneer Methi Malai, Chaap Curry, Jeera Rice, and Masala Soda. Food was good (Punjabi, which we love), but not spectacular - quite oily as the photos show, and Methi Malai, though tasty, was a bit too sweet. And, quite pricey! $13-15+ for relatively small quantities served. Probably spent close to $100 for the above, including tips and taxes! All in all, been wanting to visit since the establishment started - quite popular, especially nights and weekends - so be prepared to wait 20-25 mins as food is cooked freshly. Good people, give them a try.
