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.

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.

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.

It like eating a crumbly tofu wonton dumpling that's been pan fried as it was slightly crunchy. The mango lassi is creamy yet thin enough to drink. They only have bottled water. An ice cup can be requested. The Sichuan fried rice with chicken was tasty and is a good dish to taste a version of basmati fried rice. We tried sitting in one of the booths, but it was very chilly.

Probably the best Indian in Galveston.

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.

Drinks: my gf had an old fashioned, my friend and I got the petal punch and a fourth friend got a European beer I think and we all enjoyed our drinks. My friend and I agreed that the petal punch was the best cocktail we had both ever had. The lychee and mint is just PERF! Food: we tried as much as we could. The momos was yummy and came with a great sauce. The tandoori chicken drumsticks with the sauce, YUM. I knew it was going to be great. The veggie samosas were also wonderful. The mint chutney is my preference over the tamarind, but both were good. Chicken mungfali- 10/10 but wish it were a little spicier. Chicken korma- spicier than I thought but delicious 10/10. The Nutella samosas were the only thing that was disappointing. They were way crunchier than we expected. The picture of them made it look softer and flakier than it was. Especially with the price point of $16- was not worth it. Service: our server, Magic, was great to us and showed us all his faves. Inside: very lovey inside and very clean. Can't wait to come back again! I heard they have a lunch buffet but didn't see it on the menu. I need to do some research on that!
