If you're not a fan of spicy, I would stick with level 1 or 2. I ordered mine with basil rice. Pretty good. I'll be back for sure. The restaurant itself is nothing fancy at all. Decor was very basic. I noticed one table that needed to be cleaned the entire time I was there. Bottom line - Really good Indian food. However, The lack of attention to detail in the dining area cost them a star. I'll be back. Bon appétit, y'all.

First time dining at Namaste…read more The food itself was delicious. They have a mixture of Indian and Chinese food options. We started with samosas, which were gobbled up immediately. So good. Then we ordered our entrees, which were full of flavor. I'd go back just for the noodles. They didn't have quite a few of the desserts I wanted, but they offered alternatives. It was okay. Not really a fan of fried foods, so it's not something I'd get again. The presentation was superb though. Each table has bottled water at room temperature. Service was good. Owner was friendly and kind. Located in a shopping complex so there is plenty of parking.

I had an alternate plan initially, but timing didn't work out for me, so I perused my bookmarks as I took the parking shuttle to my car and settled on Curry Masala. I called them once I got to my car and was told my order would be ready in about 20 minutes, as my GPS read out that I was 20 minutes from the restaurant. Everything was coming up Milhouse. Because I am a basic B, I ordered chicken tikka masala and butter chicken. It was ready about 3 minutes after I arrived, and off to home I headed. I enjoyed both, but thought the tikka masala was definitely the better of the two, and the wife agreed. We had a favorite Indian spot really close to here that has unfortunately closed down, so I have been on the hunt for a new one. Curry Masala did not quite match that level, but it's not a bad option when in the area.

If you don't like spicy or seasoned food, this place works for you and you don't need to continue this review. If you do care for those things and you try this place, you might agree that the flavor profile is catering to the demographic of the location that the restaurant is in and not the authenticity of the culture that it should represent. I know of another location, but this is not to take away business for one restaurant, but to help encourage this one to lean more into its authentic flavor. Even if that means moving locations because your demographic may not care for it. I had chicken Biryani (safe for an American) but the chicken was dry and with minimal flavor. The rice lacked flavor. The raita was ok, if you like everything blended together. The onions and lime/lemon you might usually have on the side was not offered with this. Fried cauliflower with chicken 65 seasoning, had a good spice level, but it was soggy.

Most of the customers during my visit were Indian, so that was a good sign. The name of the restaurant sounded a little familiar but it turns out they have over 20 locations in 4 different regions of the world. Their 1st US restaurant was in Houston and their 1st franchise restaurant was this location in The Woodlands. With so many choices on the menu, some items I've never even heard of, I took a chance on a new curry I had never eaten which the server said was spicier than the vindaloo. I chose the andhra curry with goat and a garlic naan. The dish was around $18, plus with the naan and it wasn't exactly a bargain priced meal for one. The curry was possibly a tad bit spicier than my usual vindaloo at other Indian restaurants and it had a very nice flavor. My biggest complaint was that the dish was smaller than I expected. I was able to eat all the curry and most of the naan, which I'm usually never able to do at most Indian restaurants. Service was very friendly though, so I will be back to try other dishes soon.

Well after checking out Indian Bazaar down the strip we decided to get some Indian food. Tried the…read morechicken briyani as the owner said it was the best. Got it spicy.

Also got the butter masala with chicken aka butter chicken. Comes with white rice. I liked it more than the briyani. Also got the garlic naan. Loved that one. The sole worker was running frantically between tables and doing take away and the cash register. Geez. Felt bad for him so I can't complain that I didn't get a water refill but I really needed it because of the spice. Sucks. Nothing really wow'd me here but it did satisfy the craving we had for butter chicken

Apparently my kids have entered their Indian cuisine era, and I'm completely here for it…read more We ordered Tarka Indian Kitchen to-go and everybody had their own pick. We went with three kids meals: the Biryani Rice Bowl, Tikka Curry Bowl, and Coconut Curry Bowl, paired with strawberry or mango lemonade. And because my kids have apparently decided garlic naan is an absolute requirement now, we grabbed a couple of those too. This was another HIT! Everybody liked their own choice so much that before long, they were splitting everything up so they could taste each other's dishes. The sauces were flavorful, everything traveled well, and each dish gave them something a little different without being too much for the kids. And the garlic naan? Gone. I feel like I barely saw it before it disappeared. Next time, clearly, we need more. I also really liked that the kids had actual flavorful meal options to choose from. Sometimes kids menus feel like the same few foods everywhere you go, so being able to order them their own curry and biryani bowls was a nice change especially when they genuinely enjoyed them. Needless to say, Tarka has officially earned a spot on the kids' To-Go Friday list. When all three kids approve AND everybody wants a bite of everybody else's food, we have ourselves a winner.

The chicken was perfectly cooked, super tender, and packed with flavor. Every bite had the right balance of spices without being overpowering. You can tell everything is made fresh and with care. The samosas were crispy on the outside with a flavorful filling, and their tikka sauce on the side took it to another level. The chicken pakoras were just as impressive -- crispy, well-seasoned, and not greasy at all. And let's talk about that desi spicy ranch... absolute game changer. It paired perfectly with everything and honestly made the whole meal a 10/10. This is officially my new favorite Indian spot. Highly recommend if you're craving bold, flavorful, and perfectly cooked Indian food. Also, the prices are out great and the service is extremely fast! I'm editing this review because I just tried the tikka masala and the coconut curry as well as the garlic naan at a different location and even their chicken Pecora's at the other location in Montrose was not as good. I would rather drive to spring and go to this location tasted better. coconut curry was good however it's not better than the tikka masala so I wouldn't get it again same with the garlic naan it was good but not something I need cause it comes with basmati rice and I need to remember next time to get the tikka masala at normal heat rather than hot. I feel like the hot overpowers the flavor.

I also noticed this truck doing Indian/Mediterrean eats and of course my food dopamine cravings called out to check this spot out and order some things. Not wanted to go overboard, I decided on an order of samosas and spicy chicken bites. First off, the people that operate the truck are kind and helpful in explaining spice levels and taste profiles. While this isn't' my first rodeo with indian food, I appreciate how they explained the spicy chicken bites. It has some char with a lot of species and peppers that'll make your head sweat. Well it definitely made me sweat but in an enjoyable way as the spices and seasonings are apparent on the chicken bites. Not to mention it's quite a portion they provide you. The samosas are also quite large with two per order and extraordinary taste with the fillings. For a split second, I wondered if I should've ordered from here primarily but that'll be for my next visit. Other menu items that looked appetizing were the rice bowls (i.e goat bowl, paneer bowl, curry chicken bowl, etc.) and the pakora. Read in another review they do a great goat bowl so that might be my next thing I order from here. And no doubt I plan on returning when I'm in the Spring area!

We had a family dinner--samosas (pea and potato), pakora, a paneer masala rice bowl, a special order of chicken over basmati rice, and a goat rice bowl. We accompanied it with chai tea and had rasmalai for dessert. The pakora and samosas were perfectly fried. Very crisp on the outside and tender inside. The pakora was quite spicy, while the samosa was mild. Served with a very tasty green chutney. You really need to start with these. The cook has excellent technique so I'm sure the Mirchi Bajji (fried green pepper) is good too. The staff was very accommodating with the chicken dish--they invented something on the spot that wasn't on the menu. Very good seasoned chicken and peppers over rice, they should add it. The paneer masala rice bowl was very good, the cheese was cooked just right and the sauce represented well. The goat rice bowl deserves special mention. The goat was incredibly tender and fell off the bones in the dish. I like goat but will avoid it at some places if you have to pick up the pieces to chew the meat off. Not necessary here! The seasoning was excellent, but quite mild. A good dish if you don't want too much spice. The rasmalai was an interesting finish. They serve rasmalai and gulab jamun as desserts. Both start with the same dough, but gulab jamun is fried and soaked in syrup while rasmalai is steamed and soaked in the same sweetened milk and spices as the more familiar Indian rice pudding. Rasmalai is made with rose water, and a little of that goes a long way. I was ok with it but some found it too strong. I enjoyed it as a finish. The dinner was marred by some choices by the venue, La Plaza de los Food Trucks. They had a Christmas event with costumed performers roaming. Would have been fun except they blasted Christmas carols at a volume that caused the speakers to distort. Nowhere to escape. If they were going for a nightclub vibe with dance music I might have understood, but Christmas carols don't need to be that loud. There were not many people there for a beautiful if cool Saturday night, and that might have had something to do with it.
