    Tandoori chicken

    The food was outstanding and packed with flavor. The service was great as well. Our waitress explained the dishes to us which helped us decide what to have.

    Unfortunately, they were out of chicken when we went, but the paneer was delicious. Highly recommended.

    On our way back from Beaumont, we stopped at Desi Dhaba, located right off I-10 in Winnie, and this…read moreturned out to be a great road-trip food stop. The place has a fun, laid-back roadside dhaba atmosphere with plenty of space, both indoor and outdoor seating, plus a playground for the kids. The menu is huge, so naturally we had to try a little bit of everything! What we ordered: * Cholay Bhature * Gobi Manchurian * Chicken Lollipops * Butter Chicken * Chicken Curry * Tandoori Whole Fish * Daal Tadka * Fresh naan & roti Everything we tried was flavorful, but the Tandoori Whole Fish was easily my favorite. Nicely charred on the outside, well seasoned and packed with flavor. The biggest surprise, though, was the Gobi Manchurian. Crispy cauliflower tossed in that sweet, spicy and savory Indo-Chinese sauce--I honestly never knew gobi could taste that good! Definitely something I'd order again. The Cholay Bhature came with those big, freshly fried, fluffy bhature, while the Butter Chicken, Chicken Curry and Daal Tadka gave us plenty of rich, comforting flavors to enjoy with the breads. Overall, Desi Dhaba is definitely worth stopping at if you're traveling along I-10 near Winnie or heading between Houston and Beaumont. Good food, a huge selection and a relaxed family-friendly setup make it much more than your typical highway food stop.

    Tucked away on the service road, inside the turn where I-10 westbound turns at Winnie to take…read moredirect aim at Houston, you will find a restaurant with some of the consistently best Indian dishes I've ever had. The extensive menu has a wide variety of both vegetarian and non choices. I love saag paneer, but I don't think I've ever had tikka masala paneer (in most places in the US, this seems to be a chicken dish). Perfect spices, proportion, texture, and heat in both the temperature and pepper sense. Do be careful temperature-wise; I fumbled the plastic container while removing the lid, sloshed from some of the just-served dish on my thumb, and burned a spot. The food comes out like that, casually with plastic dinnerware. What these containers and trays hold could be served on china in any fine Indian establishment. If you can get past the takeout containers, you are in for a real treat. I accompanied my paneer with a garlic naan and an aloo paratha. Both were excellent and so fresh from the oven I couldn't touch them for 5 minutes. They offer a range of beers and soft drinks but selection is behind the cashier across the room and hard to decipher at distance. When I did spot right away we're both mango and sweet lahssi. I chose the sweet and it was delicious. The dining facilities are split between a large open well lit yard that reminds me of rhe Shed in Mississippi, and an air conditioned enclosed dining room. I chose the outside area which turned out to be a little optimistic with 85° Texas heat at 8:00 p.m. Winnie is not a town where you would expect culinary excellence. But if you are looking for a place almost an hour from Houston on the wastern side, it's a perfect place to stop.

Despite being remarkably vibrant and busy for a Saturday afternoon, arrival was delightfully seamless thanks to the ample, convenient parking right outside. Stepping inside, the ambiance is rich, cozy, and impeccably curated. The venue radiates the authentic charm of a fine Indian establishment while maintaining an atmosphere that is pristine, polished, and spotlessly clean. The service was top-tier from the moment I arrived. My server, Magic, was extraordinarily gracious, warm, and attentive. Upon his endearing recommendation and friendly demeanor, I began with the Tamarind Storm cocktail, which was expertly crafted, complex, and extraordinarily refreshing. Magic also informed me of their splendid buffet offerings, which I simply could not resist exploring. The buffet setup was an absolute triumph remarkably fresh, pristine, and constantly replenished. Each dish was served piping hot, tasting as though it had been individually cooked to order just moments before. The vibrant colors, rich aromatics, and exquisite spices were nothing short of sensational. Between the immaculate environment, vibrant Saturday atmosphere, divine cuisine, and Magic's stellar hospitality, Noon Mirch earns absolute full marks from me. A complete hit I shall most certainly be returning
