    Butter Chicken  Garlic Naan Mango Lassi

    The food is absolutely incredible i've tried plenty of Paskistani places and this one definitely stands out. too bad im not from the area otherwise I would be coming here everyday. Service is great the people are incredibly nice and care about what they they put on your plate. And the environment is so calm and welcoming. the TV shows they put on are entertaining even though I can't understand them. I love stained glass lamps

    Ordered a naan roll and some other stuff everything was fresh and taste keep it up great job

    New on the menu

    The food was amazing! I had the lamb chops and a karak tea that was delicious! Very friendly service will definitely go back!

    Butter chicken with rice

    The food was amazin! Ordered some samosas that are absolutely a must as an appetizer. Our main dishes were a plate of butter chicken (creamy mildy spice Currie with flavors that fill your mouth. My favorite ) and chicken tikka botti (which is similar to grilled chicken with its unique and tasty flavor) paired with a mango lassi. The man who got out order was very nice and patient with us. He answered questions over the menu and waited patiently for our decision, so don't be afraid to ask him for questions or suggestions.

    Garlic naan

    Stopped in with the husband. Family owned. Friendly service and food was tasty. We didn't have to wait long either. The place was empty so we enjoyed eating in peace. Samosa and the sauce it came with was fire! So delicious! We spent about $60 for 2 samosas, goat curry with rice, beef kabob with garlic naan, small lentil soup, salad, a coke and water. We did have leftovers :)

    This was my first time to ever eat Halal food. As a special request from one of my customers, I decided to get Halal food today. I relied solely on yelp reviews for the area I was in and decided on Maza Pakistani Grill based on those reviews. The location is conveniently located about 1/2 mile north of Beltway 8 on JFK Boulevard close to Bush Intercontinental Airport. When I first walked into the restaurant, I immediately noticed how spotless everything was. This place is really clean. I also noticed how good it smelled. The spices used in this restaurant smelled wonderful and the aroma filled air. I ordered the lamb curry. I was not expecting the lamb to have the bone in it. As my Pakistani customer told me, it's best just to eat it with your fingers instead of trying to use a fork and knife to cut the meat off the bones. He said eat it with your fingers and that way you can bite around the bone easier. I was almost finished when he suggested I do that so I ended up eating the whole thing with the fork. I did have to remove bones from my mouth with my fingers throughout the process. The taste of the lamb along with the curry and white rice was the perfect amount of spice and an awesome flavor. It also came with tzatziki sauce. Based on the lamb that I had today and not knowing what fully to expect, I would like to try other Halal meals with chicken and beef. The owner was there and introduced me to his two business partners as well. Suneel Khan was very friendly and represented his restaurant very well. Bottom line - If you are in the general area of Bush Intercontinental Airport and would like to try some really good Halal f, do not be afraid to give this place a try. It was my first experience but I thought it was very good. Bon appétit.

    Masala Fish

    Fish Masala over Rice is the dish I get almost every time.... It was even my Christmas dinner once!! (I'm a pilot, often stuck at IAH) It is always cooked exactly as I like it, which is of course the best way; crispy and loaded with masala spices... yum yum yummy!!

    lamb curry
    Bryandt D.

    Great spot to check out if you're staying at the Hilton. It was in a little shopping mall not too far away. All I have I have to say is that the food was amazing and hit the spot! I ordered the butter chicken combo and she ordered the lamb combo. The lamb was everything I thought it would be and the butter chicken was bomb. It's a nice mom/pop restaurant with great service. I don't think you can really go wrong here I will definitely check this place out again when I'm back in Houston. The only downside is that the side salad wasn't really a salad. More like a few pieces of tomatoes and lettuce. Overall, I would highly suggest this restaurant.

    Butter Chicken - delicious!!
    Ellen L.

    If you are reading this, EAT HERE. We pulled up Yelp after AAU Jr. Olympics. Oh my stars, the food was incredible! We had fresh, hot, crispy, delicious samosas with just the right amount of spice. We ordered lamb curry, masala chicken, & butter chicken. Made fresh, great service! We had a Nutella paratha for dessert which was incredible! This is some of the best Pakistani/Indian food we've ever had! We will definitely return when we're in the area!

    Great service and menu items here. If you're more for the spicier side of things this is just the…read moreplace for you. (This is my opinion though as every meal I tried was spicy) but non the less they were delicious. Wonderful and helpful staff and great portion sizes. Things to definitely try is first the mango lassi drink! Delicious!!! Don't knock until you've tried it! Then the burnt garlic fried rice with dynamite chicken or the chicken tikka masala also enjoyed the lamb masala. Their menu is a mixture of fusion and traditional Indian foods. The only thing I didn't enjoy that much was two of their deserts, the gulab jamun which is like donut holes soaked in sugar, it was overly sweet for me and then the gajar ka halwa which was like a sweet potato desert. Everything else was tasty and delicious and I truly had a great dinner.

    On my first night after arriving in Houston, Texas, my friend, her husband, and I decided to have…read moredinner at an Indian restaurant in Humble. It was a Friday evening, the day after Christmas 2025. We arrived here around 6:30pm and found parking fairly quickly. The restaurant at the time was not busy and we were seated almost immediately in the middle of the room. We spent about 10 minutes to decide on what to order and we opted to share family style. Our time here was about 1 hour or so, finally leaving around close to 8pm. It was definitely a nice place to be in, especially with Indian cuisine. The ambiance was nice and quiet. I guess we got the jackpot or avoided any dinner rush on a Friday night. We ended up ordering individually between us and added more food if needed. We ordered biryani, lamb korma, some spicy dumplings, tandoor chicken, which was nice and spicy, an order of veggie samosas, and of course, garlic naan to smooth things out. It was a feast for the eyes and taste buds. The staff here was very professional and dedicated to the food and cuisine that they serve every night. I did enjoy the restaurant's decor while we dined. The quality of the food and portions were adequate. You might want to do yourself a favor and come here, if you are in the Houston area and want to give tihs place a try. The overall experience here at The Monk's Indian Bistro was very good and quite a magical actually. It felt like a good place to go to when you are feeling Indian cuisine but don't want to drive around Houston looking for that sweet spot for lunch or dinner. The restaurant itself is visually beautiful and they try to make it upscale while being a good place to have your next meal. I particularly enjoyed the lamb korma and the tandoor chicken. They had forgotten to make the tandoor chicken after the rest of the order had been delivered already. We ended up having the tandoor chicken at the end of the meal. Everything was amazing and full of good flavors. It was a meal that filled our bellies and definitely was awesome. Maybe my friend decided to celebrate Christmas with us a day later. Who knows. Only thing I do know is that this place is very good and you should try it out sometime, if you are in the Humble area of Houston, Texas. Give it a try and you won't regret it. The Monk's Indian Bistro is located at 9626 FM 1960 Bypass Rd W in Humble, Texas. They accept major credit cards as well as cash. As far as parking goes, they have plenty of parking here for anyone and everyone who wishes to go here to have their slice of Indian fare. It's not too far from the Houston (IAH) international airport. There is always Uber and Lyft at your disposal, if you need them on demand. For the most part though, it was a delicious meal that will captivate you and your senses, not to mention your taste buds and everything that you are. While I have yet to immerse myself in the biriyani's, I know for a fact that the curries are amazing and I do enjoy the basmati rice and the garlic naan. My absolute favorite would be the tandoor chicken. Might need to see if I can find a recipe for that. In the meantime though, The Monk's Indian Bistro here in Houston, Texas is legit and definitely one you'd want to come to while you're traveling through Texas. It was definitely delicious and hope it will be for you. My friends and I enjoyed it. The spices can be overwhelming but it was good and helpful. 5.0 stars for the overall experience. Support local!

If you're not a fan of spicy, I would stick with level 1 or 2. I ordered mine with basil rice. Pretty good. I'll be back for sure. The restaurant itself is nothing fancy at all. Decor was very basic. I noticed one table that needed to be cleaned the entire time I was there. Bottom line - Really good Indian food. However, The lack of attention to detail in the dining area cost them a star. I'll be back. Bon appétit, y'all.

    The Best Indian Food Experience of My Entire Life…read more Listen... I thought I was about to order some basic, predictable Indian food. But the owner stopped us mid-menu and said, "No. I've got you." And THANK GOD he did, because what he brought out changed my entire understanding of what good food is. First came the cauliflower appetizer and I'm not exaggerating when I say it was the single most amazing thing I have ever put in my mouth. Perfectly crispy, perfectly sauced, perfectly everything. I will be dreaming about that cauliflower for the rest of my life. Then he brought out two more dishes that were so good I had to just sit there in silence like I was having a spiritual awakening. You can feel the love and passion in his cooking. This man didn't just serve us food he served us his heart, his culture, his everything. The hospitality? Immaculate. You can tell this is his passion and it shines through every second you're there. Nicest man ever, best food ever, best experience ever. I am genuinely thankful to the universe for leading me to this restaurant. If you're wondering whether to go GO. And let him pick your food. Just trust the process. Absolute perfection.

    It's been about a decade since my last review of Govinda's shortly after they first opened so it's…read morehigh time that I finally update that review after being a repeat customer over that time. Lots of things changed but Govinda's largely stayed the same. The decor hasn't changed but there is some wear and tear on the walls. Still clean, food still reliably good and has the homemade taste. They change up the menu daily and now they have 3 all vegan menu days to the week: Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. Plus, weekdays have a themed specials that aren't necessarily Indian. They post their menus online but weekday menus are posted the day of on their menu Instagram "ghmenu". Weekend menus are typically posted on Thursday. They are still a buffet so service is minimal but it is pretty good but no frills. Unfortunately, they got rid of their salted lassi years ago so they only have mango lassi now along with mint lemonade for cold drinks. Price has gone up as well to around $18 (a little more for holidays and weekends) per person but that's to be expected. Carry out is $16.95 per meal (large take out container plus a soup, roti, salad, papadam, and dessert). You can opt of out of items but you'll still pay the same price. In the past decade, I still love their food but I can no longer eat as much to make it worth it to dine in so we've been getting take out (we took a brief break from buffets but I missed them so we went the take out route). One take out meal lasts me 2 meals at home so it's a no brainer (husband finishes the take out container in one sitting though). Plus, I have kids now and they definitely aren't good eaters so it didn't make sense for them to eat in. Over the last few months in Houston, we typically go once every 2-3 weeks because my picky kids absolutely love their saag paneer. I got them al a carte saag paneer ($10 for a half container, $5 for a half container of rice, $7 for a small container of an entree) until someone there suggested I just order an entree because it's the same price but you get more. And their plastic containers are limited. I started doing it but then one day, the main guy (manager?) wasn't happy since the big container was just rice, saag paneer, and maybe a little bit of dal makhani. I was a little miffed because if we ate in and all they ate was saag paneer, it would be okay. That aside, I noticed someone mentioned food allergies. The reason why I order Al a carte and segregate their take out container is because my youngest is allergic to wheat, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, avocado, pineapple, and kiwi. Their food is usually labeled but I like asking to be sure. On days they serve something that contains nuts, we just don't go (unless it's only in the dessert). My kids usually like the same things and we only go on non-vegan days. The general consensus is vegan days' food tends to be spicier. My youngest is okay with spice, but my eldest who is super picky won't eat it if it's too spicy. Plus, I love their makai kofta. If I'm in town and I see they have makai kofta, we are THERE. However, I noticed that their menu isn't always set in stone. One day, they didn't have my favorites but we went because I didn't want to cook and THEY HAD MALAI KOFTA. I was so pleased. If you love potatoes, their batada vada is divine (but moderately spicy). I also enjoy the BBQ tofu but they usually only offer it on vegan days so I haven't had it in a long while. They have special menus on holidays but they're vegan so I have unfortunately never tried any holiday menus. We moved but when I'm in town, we make sure to drive up north to eat here at least once. We absolutely miss Govinda's and my kids ask for their beloved saag paneer even when we're not in Houston. I should ask if they can part with the recipe! Haha.... We ordered catering in 2024 for my eldest's birthday! Even the non-vegetarians enjoyed it and you get a lot of food for less than $500. You choose from certain dishes but it still covered many of my Govinda favorites, if not all. Honestly, we'd do it again just for fun with close friends and family and have leftovers for at least a week after splitting it up with everyone. Price has probably increased though.

The grounds of the temple is well manicured and neat with flowers. A big red sign read, "Govinda" was positioned so that I wouldn't miss it. As soon as I walked in at lunch time, the restaurant was damn near empty with only two families. The host immediately sat me at a table front of the buffet line. There was a strong lingering smell of pine-sol and Mr. Clean in the air. Of course, that indication told me that the restaurant was clean. The items on the buffet line was plenty, but limited. I got the rice, tofu curry, chaat marsala, and some vegetables. Everything except for the chaat was bland. It wasn't very easy to eat while the smell of cleaning supplies was in the air. It reminded me of sitting in a bucket of cleaning chemicals while eating a meal. The tofu curry tasted only like turmeric, but no salt or pepper or anything. The rice was super bland. The chaat marsala was very tasty and well seasoned. I finished off with desserts which both options were tasty. I hope to return to try their holiday menu, but I think today was a bad day for the cooks.
