I love me some Indian food so I had to come to this place for a second time. Both meals were super tender, flavorful and portioned very generously. You can taste the different spices and love that goes into a good meal. The restaurant is colorful, clean and well maintained. The prices are fair compared to how much food you actually get. The dishes can certainly be shared to try multiple things on the menu with whoever you're with. This would've been an easy 5 star for me if the service was more attentive. It wasn't until we were getting ready to leave when they came around to see if we needed anything, not so much before that.
This is absolutely sad. I ordered Uber Eats and I ordered goat biryani with bone in and my biryani was so sad and dry and there were a lot of meet but not a single bone. I am not looking for meat I'm sure some people would love that and if I wanted lots of tasteless meat I won't pay for goat bone in. I also picked extra spicy my biryani had no spice at all. Whoever made it is not a chef I could make it way better and tasty. We are regular customers for over 3 yrs now and we are absolutely disappointed. The quality is so bad. We will never ever come back or order again.
This is my 2nd time eating here and the food is always amazing. My lamb was very tender and nice portions. I had about 8 piece of lamb. The only thing I wish is that they fill both sides of the rice container. I believe the rice to meat ratio isn't even. Staff is always very friendly and it looks nice inside. I learned they have a buffet 11-2:30 daily for $15. Looked like nice options- I will have to try one day.
I really wanted to like this place, I really did. I was so excited to come but was disappointed. I'm no stranger to Indian food but I'm also no expert. I've been to many Indian restaurants in the past but I've never been to an Indian restaurant that was so overly salted and overpowering. For starters, I came for the lunch buffet on a Sunday. There was no wait, but the restaurant was a bit more than half full. We were seated right away but as soon as we were seated, we were essentially moved because there was a couple already sitting there. The staff just didn't communicate that to each other. It happens, miscommunication is normal, but definitely didn't help my first impressions. The buffet did offer a variety of options which is great. However most things were really salty. Some options were decent on the first bite any bites after that were gross. The jeera aloo was inedible from the first bite. The goat curry was good the first bite but you get hit with the incredible saltiness, even with naan and rice. This was the theme with the majority of the curry's actually. The veggie patty was dry, stale, and inedible. The only good items were the naan, tandoori chicken, and the chicken tikka masala. The chickens were surprisingly not dry though, despite some of the other reviews. The items on the cold bar were room temperature too. I'm not sure if there wasn't ice on the bottom but it definitely wasn't cold. I'm sure food is 100% better if you order a la carte but yeah just not a great experience today.
We came in for a lunch buffet and like always, I was excited to try a new Indian restaurant. The buffet had quite a bit of food to choose from, I got a little bit of mostly everything. We ordered a mango lassi that was very good. The butter naan they brought to the table was flaky and crispy the way I love, however it had no salt and didn't have a taste. Most of the meat was dry and overcooked, the flavors were ok, but nothing great. None of us were fans of this place and won't be back.
Ten second summary: -Not worth a destination trip, but if you are around the area, it's worth a try. -Butter chicken is below par, but the saag paneer and naan is fantastic. One of the best naan in the area. -Service from our waitress, Mahi, was spectacular. She was very polite and came by often to check on us. The saag paneer was flavorful and had a plentiful amount of paneer, but sadly, the butter chicken lacked flavor and was a bit watered down. In a way, it kind of balances the score. The naan was amazing. It comes out freshly made so it's hot, crispy, and lightly buttered. There is no wow factor to make this a destination Indian buffet, but if you are around the area, it's not a bad option.
When I first started going to Tandoori Garden years ago it was some of the best Indian food I ever had. As the years went by, I noticed the taste and quality declining. It's unfortunate, but I don't think I'll be going back again. I ordered a few dishes and none of them were good. They ranged from mid to downright terrible and I was embarrassed by the idea of sharing them with company. First of all, they asked how spicy for each dish, and I ordered mild to medium on each, but they all had the same level of spice, which was too spicy for children. Why ask and then ignore what was requested? If they can't or won't change the level of spice, don't ask. The biryani was some of the worst I ever ate. It was so salty, even dumping on raita on it didn't help. It tasted like they added shan masala and 4 cups of salt to the rice. I'm surprised I didn't go into hypertensive shock eating it. One serving was enough and although I hate to waste food, it was basically inedible and belonged in the trash. The tandoori chicken was bone dry and I was eating a thigh. I shudder to think what the breast was like. The korma was not terrible, but didn't taste like korma and was overly salted. The dal tadka was bland. It had no taste. In addition, they were stingy with the rice. Each entrée was large enough for 2 people to share, but there was only about 1 serving of rice per dish. I thought I would have to make more rice at home, but turns out no one wanted more or to finish any of the dishes. Things are too expensive these days to be wasting it on food that ranges from not great to terrible. Maybe they had a bad day, but it's not a risk I'm willing to take. What a disappointment.
VEGETARIAN REVIEW: Like most Indian places, this restaurant has many vegetarian options. Yay! This is s cute little restaurant in Katy with some seriously delicious Indian food. I was here with my daughter a few weeks ago, and I intended to try the buffet, but we ended up ordering baingan bharta and malai kofta. Those are my two favorite dishes from Tandoori Grill, and since neither were on the buffet, we decided to order those and skip the buffet. Because my little girl was with me, I ordered mild. I think that works for someone who doesn't like spicy food, but I prefer their medium or hot. I ordered hot baingan bharta once, and it was great if you like spicy foods. Unfortunately, I was the only one in my group who was able to eat it. So - even if you like spicy foods, be aware that at this restaurant - hot means hot! Our server was very nice, and brought me some red sauce to spice things up. That was nice, but it didn't make much difference. Next time we go, I intend to try the buffet. Cute place. Nice people. Great food. Highly recommend!
The saag chicken was so full of flavor. Was really tasty. I got a medium heat which was perfect. The chicken was in big chunks, so I cut them up to make it go a little further. The rice was good, not over or under cooked. Naan bread was also good. Also got chicken masala which was also full of flavor. Definitely recommended place to go!
I was pleasantly satisfied with the food and service at Tandoori Grill. Everything was delicious and flavorful. I have always been a little stingy about sharing my rice so I'm not a fan when establishments combine the rice serving, but they do not charge for extra rice which is such a relief because there is such a healthy serving of curry! Again, great portions, delicious food and great service. Would recommend

The veg buffet was decent, nothing outstanding. Some of the food items like pakoras were cold and not very fresh. The naans were served hot and fresh at each table. read more

I had such a craving for Indian food and I decided to stop by after rummaging through Ross dress for less at katy mills. I was STARVING and excited. The young man who serviced me was very friendly and welcoming. I tried their fresh lemonade that comes with mint and it was so refreshing. Their vegetable samosas were AMAZING. I also ordered their chicken tikka Masala on level 3 spice... ALSO AMAZING. If you have a craving for Indian food then you have to try this location because you can't go wrong. The flavors were bold and piercing in such a good way. Even when it came down to their lemonade. 100% recommend for take out or sit in. The service was awesome! read more

Food is always good here. The service is very good to excellent. The best way to come here is lunch as it is very expensive outside the lunch hours. They also charge for naan outside the lunch hour, one order comes with the lunch buffet. Meal total was 27.96 after tax and gratuity $34.81. The restaurant is clean but appears to be of a time gone by. Booths tables and chairs are nostalgic. read more

Located next to Katy halal and meat restaurant, which btw has a great Sunday only Buffet and probably one of the only restaurant in Houston to have a footlong Kabab roll!, Tandoori grill is a mixed buffet as far as the flavors go. Some of the items on the menu like the chicken tikka masala and eggplant potatoa (tad oily)shines way beyond expectations, on the other hand the Tandoori chicken though nicely spiced, is a little dry on the inside, so is the chicken biryani. They have a side counter for salads which includes pickled onions (Lachedar ), Don't see much of that in a lot of restaurants. The Naan is hot n fresh and that adds value to the buffet. At $15.75(lunch) ,the price seems right. read more
I came to kansar Gujarati thali over the weekend. These dishes are only offered over the weekend. It was extremely spicy. I ended up getting blisters inside my mouth. Bring tums! The food is flavorful but spice was bit much. They were friendly. Come on an empty stomach. Kinjal the chef also does catering! read more
Solid place for Indian food. I liked that you can customize the spice level for each dish that you order. The Aloo Gobi was super flavorful, although I wish they were more generous with the cauliflower. My friend and I both enjoyed the variety offered by the Chicken Thali. read more
Came in on Saturday night through the Groupon for dinner. We were served by Chhavi who gave us outstanding service. I asked if this restaurant was Tandoori Garden before, and she said yes, but due to new owner now it is Tandoori Grill. We ordered the spring rolls for appetizer, Malai Kofta, Vege Jalfrezi, Garlic naan and Paneer Kulcha. Everything was delicious, especially the Malai Kofta and Garlic naan, highly recommend. Latest upbeat Hindi music was also playing on the speaker. read more

The thali wasn't great to be honest. It was good but it's comparable to every other Indian restaurant that I've been to that tries to cater to a western palate. My biggest thing is that there wasn't a ton of flavor. The curries and sides were on the plain side of things. The rice wasn't flavored with any cumin or anything. The onions were raw, no pickles. And that's a thing of ketchup on the bottom left. Not great. And they had egg rolls that unfortunately tasted like they were from Sysco. Not pictured is the Masala chai which was quite good. The service was good too which is why I gave 4 stars instead of 3. Hopefully they'll be able to improve once this pandemic stuff is over and done with. read more
I really am impressed how they innovated during COVID to still serve buffet as an option. My husband and I went on a weekday for a late lunch on my birthday. I've been craving for Indian food but I don't want to eat the same flavor for every bite so we found Tandoori Grill for variety of flavors. I am so grateful! The food was hot and delicious! I had a chance to try many different flavors and I was able to have unlimited re-orders on my favorite items. The naan and the veggie fritter was hot each time. I much preferred this over the traditional buffet where it's been sitting out for a while. Great customer service and attention to detail. Good ambiance as well and we liked the booths. The only thing I would recommend is having one or two extra options for the buffet just in case someone really doesn't like one or two of their set items. We will definitely be back. read more

Orders: Vegetarian Thali My mama doesn't ask for much, so in the rare moments that she requests a favor, I truly try to be all ears - she asked me to Yelp this restaurant because she & my Pop loved it so much!! The food was stunning (see attached glamour shot for proof). She reports that the Vegetarian Thali included 5 or so different dishes which were delicious and plenty to satiate my Father's massive appetite, which says a lot! Direct quote: "Ryan was our server & he was great" - Kerry I will be on the lookout for this gem of an establishment when life brings me out to Katy, TX!! Thank you guys!! read more
I was really craving Indian food but I did not want to go to masala wok so I stumbled upon this place and I'm glad I did. We ordered the tofu curry, butter masala, and another dish (forgot the name). Everything was delicious. I thought the butter masala was pretty spicy considering we did not request it to be spicy. Overall I would go back and recommend the place! read more
This was my first time trying Indian food, and I 100/10 recommend this place. I've always wanted to try and I wasn't disappointed. The service was great. Our waiter helped us pick food and recommend different items to us including the lunch buffet that offers all their different cuisines. He recommend that we get a spicy level medium since this was our first time, and it was not too spicy/hot. The vibe of the restaurant was calm with good music selection. It gave family owned vibes. It is a small place btw. The curry chicken was my favorite. It held so much flavor in the sauce and with the naan *chef's kiss* it was the spiciest of all the dishes but it's worth it. The butter chicken was all our least favorite. It was still great but it was more sweet and savory compared to the curry chicken. It did work as a good palette cleanser when the curry chicken's heat started to build up. The goat biryani was also good. I only tried a piece of goat and a little rice and it wasn't bad. The goat was very flavorful compared to all the dishes and the rice had a hit of lime on top of the spices. It was ALOT of food... my friend finished it all but it's enough for a 3 people to share honestly. Though the curry chicken was my favorite, the garlic naan topped it all. Idk how to explain the flavor but it was some amazing bread. At one point I was eating it by itself with nothing else. Overall, this is a great place to go if you want to try Indian food for the first time or if your in the mood for it. It will definitely satisfy your hunger. Curry chicken: 8.7/10 Butter chicken: 7/10 Goat Biryani: 9.1/10 Naan: 9.6/10 read more

The food was absolutely delicious. There is no way to describe the taste of the food as it was pure gold. The spices were very rich and the flavorful. The workers there were also doing their best to take care of everything as quick as possible they stood by and watch everything happen which made cleaning the tables very efficient. The way the restaurant and whole place looked was simply calm and chill. The music put the whole restaurant in a good mood. Very good would recommend and would definitely go again given the chance. read more

Bathroom: Didn't use Dining Area 5/5: It was very friendly and spacious. The booth was quite comfortable. The paintings and flower decor above the entrance were beautiful. The owners definitely put some thought into how they decorated this place. I've never been to India so I can't tell you if it's an authentic representation nonetheless, it was lovely. Customer Service 5/5: I went during lunchtime. When I first walked in there wasn't anyone at the host's table but I was attended to by someone quite quickly. They made sure to explain what dining options I have. Both of the male waiters were nice. Food/Drinks 5/5: The food was sooooooooo f**king good. I went two days in a row. I recommend everything on the buffet line. I've never had Indian food before so this definitely set the standard! The Mango Lassi was delicious! Price 5/5: The price isn't bad at all! I'm willing to pay for quality food. Vibe 5/5: The place had calm music. The tables had tablecloths. It's a mom-and-pop luxury vibe. Perfect place to bring a buddy or small group to enjoy some Indian Food. Overall 25/25: This place is definitely on the list for the next time I'm in the Energy Corridor. read more
