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.

Cleanliness Service…read more Family friendly Flavor I loved the staff and their attentiveness. But the flavor, seasoning, and execution of the food needs work. 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.

We got several things including the tableside duck tacos, a crazy menu item but it was delicious, as was everything else. Honestly surprised I haven't been back since, I will definitely make a mental note to take someone here. Just saw the "fantasy hour" menu...if the prices are the worry for dinner, go before it ends at 7 and just order a couple things each and try different stuff out, thats what I'm doing next time.

Located next to Woodland Mall, Amrina is an upscale Indian-inspired restaurant. Valet parking is…read moreavailable, though you can also park at the mall if you don't mind a short walk. The neo modern interior is stylish and chic. Our group opted for the 10 course Chef's table tasting menu with wine pairings. The Chef's table is in a semi private space right in front of the kitchen, separated from the main dinning room by curtains. It was fun to watch the kitchen in action, but the area felt a bit warm at times. Presentation was definitely one of the highlights of the evening. Each dish arrived in uniquely designed serve ware and each wine was presented in a different glass. The ingredients were top-notch, featuring Hokkaido scallops, Wagyu beef, yellowfin tuna, etc. That said, while some dishes highlighted the Indian flavors we were expecting, others leaned more towards American fusion. The wine pairing complemented each dish well and the sommelier provided detailed explanations for each wine. My favorite dishes of the night were the chaat and the lamb chop. Overall, we enjoyed the experience and appreciated the quality of the ingredients, the service and presentation. However I wish there's more emphasis on the Indian flavors. Based on the glimpse of the flavors we experienced in some of the courses, I suspect I might enjoy a simple bowl of vindaloo or curry from their regular menu more.

This was definitely the worst experience we have had since moving to Texas. We had been craving…read moreIndian food and were nearby and stopped in. No one was there at dinner, we should have taken that as a sign. Looked at their online menu and the yummy pictures and ordered. Nothing came like the photos, and none of the dishes were good. Two were inedible. We asked the server if we could send back the appetizer, but they refused. They proceeded to list off a bunch of reasons why the inedible food was the fault of "customers not understanding Indian food" and "people not liking spicy". Too many excuses, too little care in the food. They offered no apology and refused to split the check in two. $45 for 2 and no one ate....

We visited Wok and Karahi a few months ago and had a good experience…read more The staff was very friendly, I even spoke to the owner on the phone regarding the food briefly. He was very kind. Plenty of parking out front and easy to find. The food is good, the tastes are there. Some dishes are better than others, so it's definitely a bit of trial and error to really pick what's best for you. The prices are amazing! We all got lunch specials and they were massive! Enough to share, and perhaps if it's your first time as it was ours, sharing may be the way to go! Lovely indo-Pak Chinese! Clean restaurant and dedication to flavors. What's not to love?! Cheers to authentic flavors, good eats, and solid memories Yelpers! Xx

We wanted to try 1 dish of each specialty, so we ordered of course a Lamb Karahi, this is a very special dish, comes in a hot wok like plate, very traditional Pakistani, the flavor, texture and aroma of this dish is so unique, definitely a must, we asked level 2 spice and it was wonderful. We also had the Chana Masala, this is the best Chana I've tried, so garlicky, so good, the chickpeas had the perfect texture as well, again mild on the spiciness, just great. We also had Chicken Szechuan chaomein, great noodles, the Szechuan flavor on this dish was just spot on. I'm so happy we came to try this place, I can confidently say and confirm this is one of the best places to eat in Houston. I can't recommend just one dish, but don't skip the Chana Masala.

My friend and I decided to give this restaurant a try. We stopped by for dinner on a weekday night,…read moreso it wasn't too busy. The restaurant is quite spacious, with plenty of tables and seating. It's also connected to the grocery store next door. I ordered the chicken tikka masala with garlic naan and a mango lassi. The chicken tikka masala was flavorful and well-seasoned, and the chicken itself was tender and moist. The garlic naan was fluffy and chewy. The mango lassi was deliciously smooth and sweet. Great service! The food arrived in under 15 minutes. Our server was cheerful and attentive and checked in on us frequently. Overall, I had a positive dining experience here. Definitely give Kohinoor a chance if you're in the area!
