    I chose this place because of the entertainment book coupon. The guy said he wasn't the owner when the coupon was made, so the coupon isn't valid. Does that matter? You'd rather have no sales than at least have some money and honor a coupon? The next room was full of people and someone on stage. I asked if there was a wedding reception, and he abruptly said, "No, it's a singer." The guy also made it a point to say, "Well at least I let you know before you placed the order." Well whoop-dee-doo. We walked out. Now I know to call future businesses in advance, even though I've never had an issue before. I won't be back!

    BEST Indian restaurant in Houston! Their lunch buffet is absolutely amazing and is loaded with all of the staples! Their Saag Paneer is the closest to homecooked I have ever had. They also have amazing Naan and Tandoori Chicken (baked in a true Tandoori oven). The staff is super friendly and welcoming! You can tell Mohammad really cares about the restaurant and his food. I have been a frequent patron for 20 years and here to 20 more to come!

    This was my first time visiting this fine establishment. I tried their reasonably priced lunch buffet this afternoon . I've never eaten at a sole Indian restaurant. I must say the food was absolutely delish. The fried onions, chicken curry, and butter chicken were excellent . The cheese spinach was a bit cold, although it was still tasty. I sampled everything except for the goat.. The vegetable roll was my favorite. The vegetable roll was similar to a Chinese egg roll, with a dash of Indian spice.. Literally ... They brought flat bread and grilled chicken out to the table as part of the buffet which was also excellent.. Sorry I don't know the authentic names of these dishes. Maybe I'll learn the proper food names one day, being that I will be back for more in the not so distant future.

This location has a banquet hall as well as a large restaurant that looked like it had seating for over 200 people. I went with their goat chops, beef bihari boti, goat shinwari karahi and naan. Goat chops ($27 - 5 pieces) - This is their most famous dish, and was the best Pakistani BBQ spiced item I have ever tried! The goat chops were so tender, juicy and had such flavorful spices. I can't stop thinking about these! Beef bihari boti ($13 - 6 pieces) - This was another impressive dish, consisting of 6 tenderized boneless pieces of beef prepared in some bold spices which utilized papaya and yogurt. Goat shinwari karahi ($21) - While the karahi was good and flavorful, I don't feel this particular karahi was as bold and strong as regular karahis I have had elsewhere. This restaurant offers several types of karahi, and I should have gone with the standard karahi, but this was still good. Naan ($2) - This was extremely reasonably priced and the naan was pillowy soft. Overall I was impressed with the service here and the food. Aga's definitely lived up to the hype and I'm glad I got to try this Pakistani HALAL restaurant. This is a must visit for anyone visiting Houston!

    The Food: Every dish is packed with authentic, bold flavors. The Goat Chops were perfectly charred…read moreand tender. They are a bit spicy, which doesn't bother me but they are too spicy for my daughter that eats nothing spicy. The Butter Chicken is delicious and not spicy at all, and their Garlic Naan is the ideal companion for scooping up every last bit of curry. The Service: Despite how busy they stay, the staff is remarkably efficient and attentive, ensuring that your water is filled and your courses arrive hot. The Vibe: It's a great spot for large groups or a nice dinner out. It feels upscale yet remains deeply rooted in traditional hospitality. OVERALL - The food was absolutely delicious. Whether you are a longtime fan of Indo-Pak cuisine or trying it for the first time, Aga's sets a very high bar. It's the kind of meal you'll find yourself craving again the very next day. Depending on what time you go you will have to wait more than just a few minutes. We went on Sunday afternoon and had a half an hour wait, but was worth the wait.

Our waitress was circling the…read morerestaurant and pretending to be busy without making any eye contact customers and not actually doing her job. We had to make multiple requests to her and eventually other servers to get naan brought to the table, by which point all the food was cold. She was not clearing dirty plates, so we had dirty plates crowing the table until we started to stack them, which let another server know that these needed to be picked up. Eventually, a member of our table just grabbed a pitcher of water cause the waters were not being refilled. Not a fun experience, she needs to re-trained. Her co-workers were having to tell her to do this and that cause she was taking 0 initiative.

They were out of the popular butter chicken when we initially arrived, but it was refilled soon after. The chicken breast meat in that dish was on the dry overcooked side, but the flavor was fine. My favorite meat item was this crispy Asian tasting chicken! Fresh naan is brought to the table, though the batch we received was burnt and thick... meh. Not yummy. My favorite part of the buffet experience is the desserts though! The carrot halwa, gulab jamon, and the rice kheer are all delicious! Make sure to save room for them! Parking sucks. Get here on the early side or late side if possible.

When we went here 90% of the customer base seemed south asian which is a great sign. They have dessert as well. There was a long line for food and limited space but I can't dock them for that.

My SO who has a low spice tolerance definitely had a little bit of trouble with some dishes, but I definitely loved the spice.

Pros -There were a lot of vegetarian options that taste good. I actually thought the vegetarian choices tastes better than non-veg. My favorite veg dish was the mushroom masala fry, and my favorite non-veg was the Virudhu Nagar Chicken Pakora. -We got seated upstairs and although it's a lot of going up and downstairs to get food, I thought it was nice to be seated upstairs near the entrance so we got to see the whole restaurant. The buffet area looks impressive. I liked this portion of the restaurant but do feel that space is limited especially with large parties. -Staff were all very nice and helpful. -There was a dosa station. I didn't get to try because I was just so full! Cons -We went during lunchtime and although we didn't have to wait for a table, it was crowded at the buffet area when getting food, and at times people take a longer time getting food. -The non-veg was a bit disappointing as the taste was a bit bland, especially the curry types which should be bursting with flavors. -They offered a special fish dish but it has bones which I don't prefer. -They did not have my favorite puri when we were there! No Indian buffet restaurant should ever run out of puri or not offer! -There was mango ice cream and a variety of other desserts!

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.
