    I walk past this restaurant often on my way to Krogers and based on what I see when they are closed, I could never eat there. Plates of half eaten food sit on tables overnight, it is disgusting. They have to have rodent and pest issues Multiple tables like this often

    Mini Chicken Samosa

    I've only been here once and I'm definitely going to come back to try some more items! The lady at the front was so sweet and patient with me I got the chicken samosas for my friend and I to try and it was so good and stuffeddd with filling!

    Saturated in oil, soggy, and dried up old chicken inside.

    This place is a disgrace to Indian food. First it took over 30mins for Togo order with literally no in the restaurant. I paid $34 for 4 somosas, 1 chicken, dish and 1 nann. It he chicken dish only had about 6small cubes of chicken clearly not made that day. The somosas were saturated in oil and you can also tell the chicken inside was old. First and last time in this place.

    I would have loved to give this place another star but they need some improvement. This review is based on a Friday 12:30 PM arrival for lunch. First of all - all the dishes I had were very tasty, and that is a good thing. Problem is, the buffet selection, while small, tended to be not refilled in a timely manner. It as if they were either slow in the kitchen or rationing the food, and only bringing out more food when each station was completely empty ... for some time. Food seemed to be mainly vegetarian although there was tandoori chicken as well as chicken in sort of curry dish. No fish and no soup. The plate you see in the picture was my first and that was from the bottom of all of the pans. The food on the initial plate was essentially cold. But remember I said it was tasty. The garlic naan was very hot, and no refills were offered. We kept wondering if they were going to replenish the food and finally the kitchen was advised and maybe after 15 minutes fresh hot dishes stated coming out. The decor of the place at the end of Kroger-anchored strip mall had nothing of an Indian theme so don't expect that sort of ambience. There are about 7 tables inside and maybe another 6 or so outside but this is summer in Houston so no one was outside. The sole waitress was friendly enough but probably overworked ...? The guy from the kitchen was very pleasant and friendly as he brought out more food, and asked if everything was OK. If they improve on the logistics regarding the food supply and maybe create a little ambience, then they would have something to really recommend. For now, it's average.

    Lunch buffet

    My go-to for Indian lunch buffet. The restaurant is small and quiet, with a good selection in the lunch buffet, the space is clean and the food is delicious. The naan bread came out piping hot to the point I could barely touch it...crispy yet soft. The buffet has all of my usual favorites; chicken tikka masala, palak paneer, vegetable korma, multiple kinds of biryani (vegetarian or meat eater), tandoori chicken that is very nicely seasoned and numerous other selections. One critique I have is that I like my paneer and tikka masala a bit thicker, these run just a bit, but still taste great. Something else that I don't remember from previous visits was the unsweetened iced tea - this is very good and not just your run of the mill iced tea. I detected cloves and possibly all spice in what appeared to be a black tea. It was super flavorful and slightly surprising. Definitely check this spot out, it's one of the best in the area.

    Garlic Naan and Bullet Naan

    This is definitely been one of my favorite Indian experiences in Houston since I've been to Aga's down in Mahna Gandhi district. However, if you're in the northwest area of Houston, this is definitely a spot you want to come to. The Indian music sets a great atmosphere in this small little quaint, almost café kind of feel. there's about 10 tables And during the lunchtime between 11 AM to about 3 PM they have an unlimited buffet. And I definitely want to return back for that. The family and I went there on a Friday evening and had a wonderful authentic Indian meal. The nice thing is that they could adjust some of the dishes to fit the various spicy levels of those in my family. We started off with vegetarian samosas and chicken. We also ordered chicken curry, chicken vindaloo, goat Rogan Josh, shrimp madras,, garlic naan, bullet naan. We were all thoroughly satisfied with every single dish that came out. The services was kind, friendly and thoughtful. They even brought out ice cream for my 2.5 y/o daughter. I highly recommend this if you like authentic Indian food. And I'll definitely be back looking forward to hopefully a lunchtime that I could really unleash my appetite.

    Food 2/5 Service 1/5 Ambiance 2/5 This was my second visit. The buffet is $15.99. The best thing was the chicken biryani. The tandoori chicken looks good but wasn't seasoned well. The chicken tikka and chicken curry was extremely watered down. The chunks of chicken itself (chicken breast) were dry. Not even the watered down curry can bring the dry chicken breast chunk back. The saag paneer was like baby food. The service both times was non existent. I was really hoping the second time would be better, however it somehow was worse than the first experience. I will not be coming back.

    Very nice and quiet restaurant. The attendant was very attentive and friendly.. The food was great and very authentic. Will definitely come back

    Lunch buffet total $12.98 Located near Kroger, the sign on the outside still says "Tandoori Hut". There was a good variety of dishes to select from and I enjoyed them all. They have have goat curry, which seems to be a popular item at this location. Other items include chicken tikka masala, tandoori chicken, chicken biryani, palak paneer, yellow dhal, and carrot halwa (yum!). Service was friendly and attentive. Our water glasses never went empty and they promptly clear away used dishes. Outdoor seating is available. ....| \ _ , , , - - , , _ , .../ , ` . - ' ` ' . _ \ - ; ; ; , _ ..| , a - ) ) _ . ; .

    Lunch buffet choices, love the carrots, and we'll, all of it
    Denise L.

    I appreciate the fact that they say they have a buffet and they actually do. Plenty of traditional choices and everything was very good. They do request people to wear masks not masks gloves at the buffet line but watching somebody dishing up right now, clearly not enforced/important. I'm okay with that however ; I think we are all past this covid crap by now. The food is very good and it is kept fresh looking. They have a little carrot side dish that I love. Between the rice and the carrots my meal is complete after I add a little butter chicken. Very friendly staff and if you pay cash you get 5% off. Lunch buffet is Monday through Friday 11:00 to 2:30. Definitely recommend and definitely will be back

    Aga's Restaurant & Catering is considered one of the best Pakistani restaurants in all of North…read moreAmerica. 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!

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.

This is a hidden little gem in the back of a long strip mall and definitely a place you should add to your try list. It's not fancy to look at, but I always feel comfortable coming in here, and they can easily accommodate large parties. As usual, they brought a refreshing lettuce salad. Once I finished that off I ordered the Mantu appetizer. Mantu is stuffed with a wonderful ground beef filling, a little pocket of deliciousness, a tiny spicy heat to it, and a moist sauce that rounds out the flavor, and is finished with a generous sprinkle of sumac. It's a delicious light dumpling!! My favorite dish that I keep ordering over and over is the Showra. This is a super flavorful broth in which a lamb shank sits along with a potato. It sounds so simple, and it is, but I think it's absolutely wonderful. I've never seen a naan prepared the way they do their version. Pull off pieces and dip that into the broth so that it gets all soggy and delicious :-). They serve it with a small side of onion and lemon, and I squeeze the lemon juice into it and dump the onion into the hot broth. I like to finish the meal with the light Firni milk pudding sprinkled with chopped pistachios. While eating here, you could run next-door to the market if you need some Halal meat. I think the above is my favorite meal here.
