Saag, chicken tikka, Goat Biryani, paratha, naan
Alex S.

Food was excellent! I will be back soon. The paratha was crispy and chewy, a perfect pair to dip in the saag and chicken tikka. The goat biryani was delicious and comparable to Aga's in my opinion. I was pleasantly surprised based on the small size of this location. Highly recommend.

Giving this 5-stars based on food and service. Atmosphere, while clean, had a distinctly down market feel. The restaurant is located in a strip center just west of the intersection of Westheimer and Westpark Drive, in the Briar Forest area west of BW 8. We were welcomed and seated promptly. This being our first foray into Maharashtrian cuisine (although having eaten the odd dish previously), we took our time ordering - Kokum Juice (tangy, slightly sweet, with Chaat masala, etc.), Kothimbir Vadi (Cilantro plus other spices mixed in dough, fritters) and Sabudana Vada (Sago fritters) for appetizers; Maratha Vegetables, Bombay Masala Noodles, dry Cauliflower Manchurian, and Pithala/Bhakri combo (a Gram Flour-based gravy/curry with Millet flat bread). Food arrived after a while as it appeared to have been made afresh. Tastes were fantastic, and quantities were ample. A great first holistic intro to Maharashtrian cuisine. Prices were reasonable, with the whole meal setting us back approx $70 for 5 persons, with taxes All in all, an excellent outing - plan to return.

We went there during Father's Day weekend. We got there just before noon, and there was a 20-minute…read morewaiting time. To get in line, you scan a QR code and join a virtual queue. The crowd kept coming, and by the time we were done, the line appears to have grown to 1+ hour. Tip: Come early, especially on weekends! There was a sign saying that dining time is limited to 1 hour - completely understandable. Most of the clientele are South Asian - a good sign. The interior is clean and pleasant. The weekend buffet doesn't come cheap. We paid around $27 per person before tax or tips. But you get what you pay for - probably around 40 items, more than any other Indian buffet we have been to. This includes vegetarian items, meat dishes (chicken/lamb/fish), dessert, and drinks - including chai tea and rose milk. The quality is very good. We left absolutely stuffed.

I visited Naga's with a group of friends for their unlimited buffet and left with mixed feelings…read more The buffet is priced at $25 per person for both the vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, with drinks charged separately. The spread includes a good variety of South Indian dishes, mainly Tamil and Telugu cuisine, with plenty of vegetarian and non-vegetarian curries, rice, dosas, and other traditional favorites. The food was definitely on the spicier side. While there was a decent selection, I found the overall taste to be fairly average. Nothing was particularly memorable, and I didn't feel it justified the price. The restaurant itself was clean, the ambience was pleasant, and the staff was courteous. The biggest downside for me was being handed the bill while we were still eating. At an unlimited buffet where you're paying a fixed price, it made the experience feel rushed and took away from the relaxed dining atmosphere. Overall, it's an okay spot if you're specifically looking for an unlimited South Indian buffet, but for $25 per person, I expected a more memorable meal and a better dining experience.

For dinner, we got the butter chicken experience, dal musaafer and paneer rizala. All were good but I liked the paneer rizala the best. We got naan and rice (both basmati and carmelized onion to share!) For desert, I would highly recommend the rasmalai and gulab!

What a wonderful experience we had with the family…read more As we took the elevator to the second floor to the reception area, I noticed right way I think I stepped into a different world. The reception area was small and almost claustrophobic, but very ornate. There were a few chairs for you to wait. We didn't wait long, probably less than a minute. As the hostess lead us into the main dinning area, I was shocked on how big the place was (it reminding me of the big meat market restaurants in NYC). The first room was bright from the outside sunlight, almost like an outside cafe. Our table was in a different area, where it was a little darker and decorated a lot differently from the previous room. As I looked around, there were other sections at this restaurant that kind of represented different places. The section we sat in had a very long table...which I'm guessing can host a very big family or corporate party. It sat right next to the open kitchen. Our waitress, Yaretzy, was very nice. She explained how the owners traveled to the different states of India and want to share that experience at Musaafer. Yaretzy would provide an explanation for each dish. Some of them were mixed/put together table side. Everything was delicious, and not too spicy. Musaafer is fine dining, so it's not something we can do ever weekend. But we will be back. Getting here was a little tricky if you are not familiar with the area. The restaurant is located in the Galleria. The entrance to Musaafer is on the first floor inside the mall, down the hallway closest to Saks Fifth Ave on the right (if facing Saks). You will need to take the private elevator to the second floor or walk up the stairs. There is valet parking if you prefer to do that. I think there is a small parking lot in front of the restaurant that might be free, but we went into the underground Purple garage. If you park right after going down the ramp into the Purple garage, you will see an elevator into Saks Fifth Ave, which you take up and walk outside with a short walk to Musaafer. The only problem with what we did was when Saks closes, we couldn't take that elevator back down. There were stairs back down to the purple garage, but it stank! There had to be another elevator that will take you into the mall.

We had a mix of North Indian dishes and South Indian delicacies prepared by them over multiple meals. Each one of the dishes was prepared with exclusive care and taste that left everybody happy. Service and delivery was absolutely prompt at all times and got to us absolutely fresh. Subra was a pleasure to communicate and was extremely courteous. Review will not be complete though without mentioning the 'onsite Dosa' service provided by Gayatri Bhavan. The experience was something that took everyone in simply amazing experience with excellent food quality that included Dosa, Vada, Idlis, Besi-beli Bhat and sweets. We recommend Gayatri Bhavan to anyone looking for catering or in-dining service.

Granted a group of 12 people showed up unannounced right around opening time, the service was still a bit on the slower side. We waited about 30-35 minutes to receive our samosas and another 15 minutes to receive our Thali plates. All twelve of us ordered the same thing--the Regular Thali. The Thali is a platter that comes with 3 different curries or stews, 3 types of breads, rice, dessert, and a samosa. While I am not very knowledgeable about Indian cuisine and have no basis of comparison, the three curries and breads were delicious. Of the three curries, the paneer masala was my favorite and I enjoyed all three breads. The vegetable curry and lentil stew were both equally delicious and offered a change of pace from the paneer masala. The samosa was a bit of a miss for me due to the shell being a bit on the thick side, but the spices and tamarind chutney were good, but not outstanding. The benefit of ordering the Thali is that it is an affordable way to sample a very good variety of foods with the option or order more of whatever included curry, bread, samosa, rice, dessert completely free as a part of the Thali set. Would I go back? Yes, I would go back to have the Thali again but I'm unsure if I would be adventurous enough to order a full portion of a single curry or dish simply out of unfamiliarity with Indian cuisine. However, I would avoid Gayatri Bhavan if my boss isn't taking an extended lunch break with us.
