The naan was good and the chicken curry was good but the chow mein didn't have much flavor. It was also supposed to be spicy but wasn't at all. We also asked for extra egg but didn't get any egg at all. It was also not too clean, I scraped food off of my shoes a couple times and the tablecloth wasn't cleaned well. Service was pretty good.

There were some birds kept so the kids could be entertained. The food was simple and tasty. Not too oily or heavy. It was just right. We tried their peanut chaat, a great appetizer or side if you're having drinks. Some paneer curry, dal tadka, and naan everything was good. We tried their soya chaap, which was yum too. Kids had the samosas that were mild, crispy from the outside, and well-cooked. Service was great. There were disposable plates and cutlery to eat the food to minimize the cleaning effort.

The parking lot is huge but be mindful that 18 wheelers will need space as well. We showed up one time during Diwali, and it was packed. We have had the butter chicken, lamb curry, and the cauliflower- all are very flavorful and delicious. We can't wait for our next Lousiana trip so we can visit again.

Fantastic, unexpected Indian cuisine in Nederland, TX!…read more We ordered a nice sampling for pick-up since my parents had never tried Indian food - Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Vindaloo, and Chicken Kadhai. All were a hit - especially the perfectly spicy vindaloo. Garlic naan was warm and flavorful. And of course, I had to get some vegetable samosas, which were incredible. The tikka masala wasn't the best I've had, it was a bit more on the yogurty side. But still great flavor and delicious to mop up with the naan. The men at the restaurant were very friendly! He made sure I had all my items and knew what was in each bag before leaving. Also, the entrees DO come with rice, so don't make the same mistake I did and order extra. I've got rice for days... SETX, please don't sleep on this place!

(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! A+

Probably the best Indian in Galveston. Located in a gas station (yes, definitely not something you…read moreexpect), with limited parking, a few seats inside (blasted by cold AC) and some amazing water views outside. Order at the counter - about as minimal service as you can expect. However, they had nonstop lines of people ordering or picking up so business is definitely booming. Ordered Chicken korma, garlic Nana, mango lassi, and the tandoori pomfret. Tandoori pomfret excellent flavor and cooked well. A bit hard to eat but manageable. Mango lassi was thick, delicious, and not too sweet. Definitely a fan favorite. Garlic Nanna about what you expect, fluffy and delicious. Chicken korma came with a ton of rice, and decent flavor. Would love to come back, just be prepared.
