A group of us one for dinner and we tried several different dinners and shared them amongst us. We were seated quickly and they accommodate our group of 10 easily, we placed our order in the food, came out, reasonably quickly. The main course started with a salad, and we ordered both garlic and buttered nan. Our main courses included mahkani chicken, vindaloo, fish, chicken biryani, spinach paneer, momo dumplings, and several orders of King of Texas platter. The flavors were wonderful, and when we ordered a few of us, ask them to dial up the spice, but be careful. The service was very good and attentive, and the restaurant was relatively quiet from noise. Some restaurants are just super noisy, and TAJ is not. If you enjoy Indian cuisine, I know you'll enjoy this restaurant.

Place was decent but they had a big fan in the corner which meant the restaurant wasn't cool. Service was decent but nothing to write home about all the servers are very nice. No explanation on how the buffet was priced and no menu if you wanted to skip the buffet. Food was average with the typical offerings like sag paneer. No ambiance as far was I can tell. Glad I went to try it but will not be back.

After waiting more than six months to try The Monk's Indian Fusion, I finally conquered my culinary…read morewhite whale here on Monday night. After I woke up from a day-long nap I helped myself to after returning to Houston from Chicago, I realized I haven't had anything to eat since breakfast at O'Hare so I decided to come here. Aside from a few diners and the staff, I essentially had the restaurant to myself. I sat in the bar area, which features alphabet-shaped shelves that form the word Monk's. My waiter provided me with a glass, a pitcher of water and menu. Having read the menu online before coming here, I knew what I wanted to order: Gongura Chicken Biryani. I had it cooked with a medium level of spice. The dish arrived with a complementary yogurt that the waiter instructed me to mix in. I was surprised at how sizable the regular pack biryani is. By my estimate, it could feed two people. With a drumstick and other chicken pieces, the biryani lived up to up my expectations as a fiery, delicious meal. I had to ask for milk so I could be able to finish. The Monk's presents an ambience and an environment that's suitable for dates. I imagine it's a bit more crowded on the weekends.

Never had Indian food before so i searched online and i found this spot…read more Not gonna lie pulling in and finding out it's inside the gas station almost discouraged me but we drove 25 minutes so might as well right ? YES RIGHT ! VERY RIGHT. The people taking your order are actually really nice , the place is clean and the food! Omg ! Rich in color and flavor. You can taste the freshness. Comes VERY HOT, so be cautious. There's tables to eat inside if you'd like but we took it to go down the street to a local little park down the street and try it. Serving size is nice. Could use more chicken tbh but for $15 an order I'm definitely not mad at it. My boyfriend and i got butter chicken and chicken tikka masala, we also tried their 2 types of nan. Personally i prefer the butter nan over the garlic nan since it came out a tad softer and more pillow like than the garlic but both were warm & the perfect sharing size. Very tasty. Overall a great first time experience, will definitely be coming back.

Rice Bowl of India Most deceiving place...it is located…read moreinside a has station and the name is almost nowhere displayed. Once inside there is a huge menu for Indian food displayed. Being the ONLY Indian restaurant available in the neighborhood, the rush is pretty heavy with the growing Indian community here. They did carry a small aisle for Indian snacks, really small, more like a shelf. It is a gas station, so cannot expect much. Came here to pick up Chilli Panner ( 1 order costs $12.99) and Samosas ( Indian parties, Samosa and chai go in hand hand - anywhere in the world). Samosa was not just too oily, it was overpriced, and the stuffing was a whole lot of potato. They did make it fresh right before our eyes, that's why the 3 stars. Cannot brag about the chilly panner either. The place is better for grubhub or take-outs, I would NOT suggest sitting in. Overall, a long Mehhh! I wouldn't want to go back here for any vegetarian options, not even samosa !

The service is absolutely incredible and accommodating with such a lovely atmosphere. I have dietary restrictions as I am vegan, and they made a wheat flatbread replacement for the naan for me. The family member who assisted us was attentive and wonderful conversation. They are incredibly transparent on their food process and ensuring people with allergies and restrictions are able to eat their food. The food is fresh and you can taste it. I got the bindi masala at medium heat and it is my favorite I've gotten by far. The okra and onions are cooked perfectly to create a satisfyingly delectable flavor with a savory building up heat. The vegetable samosas are also my favorite in the area! They create an in-house sauce of brown sugar with spices, and it is my absolute favorite sauce I've had with samosas. It's better than chutney or tomato sauce. The sweetness and spices are perfect with the savory flavor of the samosas. The aromas of the varieties of spices light up the atmosphere.

We ordered the butter paneer and the chicken kadai, both served with basmati rice and naan. The paneer sauce was mildly sweet and spicy, and the paneer itself had a great texture. The chicken kadai was very flavorful with lots of spices and aromatics, and the rice and naan were both good. My husband also had a mango lassi, which was silky and delicious. Prices are affordable, and it's a great option if you're sharing with family. Overall, a very good experience.

I asked if they served any alcohol, alcoholic beverages, and was informed that they have plans to start selling alcohol within the next 3 to 4 months. I inquired if they were going to have a full barn with a bartender and was told that they plan to start slow by just selling certain alcoholic beverages initially then overtime increase the number of items that are offered. I made my order to go so I could take pictures of my food before I forgot to take pictures. It seems that currently most of their business is takeout. Takeout business is brisk. I've seen three or four while waiting for my food to be prepared. In my opinion the Saag Chicken is prepared in the Southern style, in spite of what the manager said. My food is piping, hot and delicious. The server brought me a plate and silverware when he saw me opening my dishes. He returned with a glass or water also, I love this attention to detail it can make an average experience memorable. The interior could be more inviting with different furniture, making it more appealing. GN3

A quick stop for dinner for the family on an out of town vacation led us to a place close by: Pho…read moreHoang. The restaurant is an area of variety of other businesses close by. We walked in a more laid back time with not many people and seated ourselves. There were a few items on the menu I had to mentally translate since I'm familiar with the names of the dishes when I eat in Chinatown-Little Saigon. I decided to go with the Vietnamese coffee and rock and roll beef also known as Vietnamese shaking beef. I did make an adjustment and did fried rice and an egg on top. The Vietnamese coffee is solid. It has that flavor and concentration you expect especially phin filter with condensed milk. The rock and roll beef is a good choice too. The steak cubes are tender and has the nice accompaniment of onions, tomatoes and cucumber. The sauce packed that nice garlic punch which the steak absorb. The fried rice is a nice upgrade from regular white rice but both would be good choices. Overall it was a nice visit to Pho Hoang. It was very straightforward and our server was nice too. No complaints. From my personal experience of drinking Vietnamese coffee for years, I think my tolerance is much stronger to it and found this one today as concentrated but not as bold like I am used too. But this is still very good. There are some staple dishes offered and seen also include a fried fish platter and a few other additions. No desserts on the menu and strictly just classic Vietnamese dishes.

It is extremely rare for me to score a restaurant this low. However, this one barely eked out two…read morestars because of two things: The server was terrific; she so deserved to be in a better restaurant. The other saving grace was the broth of the beef pho. It was just right...perfect flavoring. Unfortunately, the flank steak was obviously old and dried out and contained unappetizing pieces of gristle and fat. The spring rolls were almost inedible, due to shrimps that were well past their freshness and a wrap that just fell apart. The grilled pork bahn me was the worst. It was not served on the traditional French roll but a bolillo that was just grainy and flavorless. I regret having to report that, after decades of enjoying Vietnamese cuisine, this experience was, well, the most unfortunate of all.
