Paneer Tikka, Garlic Naan, Kadai Paneer , Dal Makhani

Very poor in taste 1/10 food, lots of chilli pushed into your dishes for no reason. Hygiene and other constraints as well, it is a food truck rather than a dhaba or a restaurant. Very bad experience over all.

100% Halal

First food truck I've come across in Houston that sells Indian, but there were always a few people dining there whenever I drove by, so figured it was worth a shot. Ordered chicken tikka masala (spicy) with garlic naan, both freshly made when I ordered. Very tasty, and went well with the cold weather outside. Only complaint is that it is expensive for food served out of what looks like a converted U-haul truck. Probably won't go every week due to the price, but its worth coming back for a second trip.

Spice rack

A food truck that don't move, like a bird in a cage. We were tied down at the mechanic shop next door, so choices were limited since walking is obviously out of the question without ac. The recognizable choices: Tandoori chicken is bland like a grey sparrow. Much more expensive than Popeyes a few hundred yards away. C+ Chicken ticks masala. Creamy, tasty, just enough spices and smoother than a rollsroyce. A Naan. Fluffy bread, just what Dr Atkins warned us about. 3 extra servings later, still A. Good spot to munch, weird atmosphere with lots of quiet drunken people. Spooky but enjoyable.

My friend (a fellow Elite Yelper) and I were in the area and she suggested we get some Indian food from this food truck. She kept ranting and raving about how good it was and all I could think was... INDIAN FOOD FROM A FOOD TRUCK?! Smh & Lol. Well, I'm glad I tried it. I ordered the tiki masala chicken and garlic naan bread. That was probably the BEST Indian food I have ever tasted in my life and yes it came from a food truck. This little truck is parked in a gas station lot and has tent covered seating for your finding pleasure. It rivals any restaurant. Promise! The ingredients are fresh and the food is DELICIOUS! If I lived closer I would probably eat here every single day!

Mix the fascination of food trucks and the wonder of Indian Food and you get Tandoori Nite. A little out of the way from central Houston, but well worth the drive out to their location. This truck sits next to a gas station and has several picnic style benches under a canopy. On cold nights they have outdoor heaters and a fire pit going to allow customers to still enjoy the outdoor seating. The men that man the truck are always friendly and offer great suggestions. Unlike most food trucks, you place your order, eat and then pay for your meal. Their prices are reasonable and the food is great tasting.

Chicken vindaloo
Johnny M.

I hate food trucks, I think they are a pretentious trend, but for some reason I was drawn to this place. Even still I really wanted to try this place out. Maybe because you don't really see that many food trucks in Alief and Indian ones at that, or maybe because I am just a fat ass... Some things going for this place is that it's really unique, it has a real working tandor in the truck, the menu is huge and diverse, and the family working there is really nice. Also the night I went there were lots of Indian families enjoying dinner...always a good sign. Even with all these positives though, the food just wasn't that great in my opinion. I ordered chicken vindaloo and told them not to take it easy on me. I love this spicy dish and this one just didn't bring it. It was pretty mild and had a very citrusy note which I'm not used to, plus there were only a few pieces of chicken in the order. Also I was thinking that since it was a food truck it would be pretty cheap, but the price is only slightly less than average, and you get less food than if you were to go to a real restaurant. I really want to like this place and maybe I just had a bad dish. I'm going to try this place a few more times with a few more dishes before I dismiss this place as just another trendy food truck...

Dined at Aga's today for my birthday dinner, and it was a phenomenal experience. I had set a…read morereservation for 6 p.m. My family and I arrived at 5:55. Once inside, we were greeted by the hostess, who, once I told her of my reservation, took us to our table. Once we were seated, we were promptly greeted by our server, Saman. She told us she would give us a minute to decide on what we were wanting and that she would be back. I already knew what I was wanting as I was very excited to eat here, but I wanted to give my family a chance to look over the menu in case they wanted to pick out something different. We were brought water by one of the other servers, and then Saman came back and asked if we were ready. I ordered: -Chai with Jaggery: 7/10 was good but not something I would order every time; it's an acquired taste. It was sweet but with a mild bitterness at the end. -Daal Matka 10/10; this is one of my favorites. -Chicken Tikka Masala 10/10; another favorite of mine. Ordered this a bit spicier than it already is. -Butter Chicken 10/10 no notes it was delicious -Garlic Naan very 10/10; very soft and flavorful. My husband ordered: -Goat Kabab White Karahi 8/10; first time having this; it was good and I would order again in the future. My parents ordered: -Chicken Briyani 10/10; very flavorful and chicken was very tasty and tender. -Plain Basmati Rice 10/10; for white rice, it was good, wasn't overcooked or mushy. Cooked very well. -Aga's platter 9/10; has a variety of meats to try; all delicious. -BBQ Chicken Wings; 8/10 was good for an appetizer had great flavor and they were fall off the bone tender -Mint lemonade pitcher 10/10; this was the best lemonade I've ever had; it was very refreshing. My kiddo ordered: -Chicken Nuggets with Fries 10/10; he ate all his food with no complaints. -Mango Lassi 10/10; very delicious, I would order this every time -Pistachio Kulfi 10/10; had never had this before and I would definitely order it again in the future. Very creamy; not too sweet but you can taste the pistachio which I loved. Btw these are all his ratings and I have to say I agree with them. The food came out very quickly I'd say within 15-20mins for all the food. Taher (another server) saw I was taking pictures of each dish and asked if he could take our picture and pictures of all the food on the table. That helped us out a lot and he honestly didn't have to. Once the food was placed on the table we dug in and everything was absolutely delicious. A little while into our meal a gentleman who looked like a manager or upper management (unfortunately I didn't get his name) stopped by and asked us how we were doing and how we were enjoying our meal and how we heard about Aga's. He mentioned one of our dishes on the table was what they were known for and told us he appreciated us dining with them tonight. We continued to eat and after a while we were all pretty full and decided it was time for dessert. We asked Taher for to go boxes which he promptly brought us and we packaged up our left overs. Saman came back and helped us decide what to pick for dessert and my son decided on (the white blocks) or the Pistachio Kulfi. Our entire experience from beginning to end at Aga's was perfect. You are greeted by everyone once you walk in and everyone you pass on your way out the building thanks you for dining with them. We honestly weren't there that long the service was so quick it's like a well oiled machine. The vibe is nice in the restaurant it obviously will get louder as more people come in but you are still able to enjoy the conversation at your own table without having to be too loud. I will most definitely be back in the future to enjoy some more delicious dishes.

The crowd kept coming, and by the time we were done, the line appears to have grown to 1+ hour. Tip: Come early, especially on weekends! There was a sign saying that dining time is limited to 1 hour - completely understandable. Most of the clientele are South Asian - a good sign. The interior is clean and pleasant. The weekend buffet doesn't come cheap. We paid around $27 per person before tax or tips. But you get what you pay for - probably around 40 items, more than any other Indian buffet we have been to. This includes vegetarian items, meat dishes (chicken/lamb/fish), dessert, and drinks - including chai tea and rose milk. The quality is very good. We left absolutely stuffed.

The spread includes a good variety of South Indian dishes, mainly Tamil and Telugu cuisine, with plenty of vegetarian and non-vegetarian curries, rice, dosas, and other traditional favorites. The food was definitely on the spicier side. While there was a decent selection, I found the overall taste to be fairly average. Nothing was particularly memorable, and I didn't feel it justified the price. The restaurant itself was clean, the ambience was pleasant, and the staff was courteous. The biggest downside for me was being handed the bill while we were still eating. At an unlimited buffet where you're paying a fixed price, it made the experience feel rushed and took away from the relaxed dining atmosphere. Overall, it's an okay spot if you're specifically looking for an unlimited South Indian buffet, but for $25 per person, I expected a more memorable meal and a better dining experience.

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.
