We went yesterday. The service was excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful in explaining the different dishes. We ordered 3 main dishes and 2 appetizers and they were all wonderful! I definitely recommend this place!

For some reason, we can't seem to keep a good Indian restaurant up here on the N/NW side of Houston. The one around the corner from me uses dark meat in their Chicken Tikka Masala. Yuck. The one on 1960 converted to a slightly different cuisine, and the food was never good again. They closed. Several off Veterans Memorial, but they're only kabobs/wraps. Meanwhile, Narin's is in the same location for a decade or more and only moved because the one on Sage burned down. Food is consistently excellent, but it's a long drive for lunch. Anyway... enter KurryWalah. I'm so happy. They have lunch buffet. Food is delicious. Location seems a little worn/small, but that didn't affect the food. I had Chicken Tikka Masala, Veg Pakora, Saag Paneer, Malai Kofta. Everything was delish. My sister texted me from there a week or two after I first tried it, telling me what she'd found and how good the food was. LOL Good stuff.

As of August 2022, the price for weekday buffet lunch is $15.99. The interior had just been renovated earlier this year, and is very bright, modern and clean. Buffet options are on the limited side - there's about 3 kinds of chicken dishes, 6 types of vegetable dishes, one type of rice, papadum, vegetable spring rolls, pakora, and gulab jamun for dessert. Fresh naan is also available on request. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. They should leave some bowls out for the buffet (we see only plates) - we couldn't really enjoy the gulab jamun to its full potential!

LUNCH BUFFET from 11-2p!!! Not many Indian restaurants have lunch buffets these days so this one surprised me. Went on a Thursday and had a few other tables. Selection was not huge but had all the staples like tandoori chicken, saag paneer, tiki masala, vegetarian curries. I didnt have the appetite to try everything but all looked great. Fresh naan for each table and a carrot dessert. I also ordered mango lassi. All was delicious. I'll take pics next time so already planning my next visit.

Our new fave Indian restaurant!! Many options for curry and choice of spice level are spicy food newbies friendly lol Surprised about the size of their Nann it was very tasty and definitely Texas sized!!

By far the best Indian food I've had in Houston! The owners are incredibly kind and the service is impeccable. 10/10 would recommend!

Walked in at 7PM on Sunday party of 2, was told they are not accepting dine in... plenty of empty tables in sight.

Excellent food quality! Even at the buffet! We came here for the first time today and opted for the buffet, since the items we wanted were on it. My boys are tikka masala connoisseurs and loved it. I am vegetarian and found many options, went for the tarka dal which was great. The staff were friendly and service was attentive. We will definitely be back!
My opinion and based on our dinner experience this evening. Giving this place 5 stars exclusively for service and food taste. Been wanting to visit for a while; heard good things about it from friends and reviews online seem to bear them out. The place is located in a typical Houston area strip center at the intersection of Grant Rd and Malcolmson Rd in Cypress, NW Houston metro. The ambience is utterly minimalistic - too much so, and resembles an ordinary cafe type restaurant. The walls were stark white and tables were undistinguished as well - all pretty ordinary/industrial looking. Quite belies they photos on the website showing the Katy location. The refrigerator containing drinks and the soda dispenser in the dining room were incongruous at best. The website implied a more upscale ambience. The restaurant was not full and seating was freely available - service was prompt and friendly/solicitous. We ordered Gobi Manchurian for appetizer and mango lassi - this after learning that out first preference, Lychee drinks, was unavailable - the big bottle Taj Mahal beer too was disappointingly unavailable. Had the Himalayan Snowman beer instead, which was light and smooth. Ordered Bhindi Masala, Malai Kofta, Cilantro Chicken and Peshawari and Bullet Naans (Chilli Naan). Food arrived promptly, was piping hot and tastefully displayed on white dishes. Napkins thankfully were of cloth and not paper. Everything was clean - service certainly stood out, attentive and friendly. Food was not very spicy (despite asking for it) but well-balanced. Tastes were on the mark - very flavorful. The Bhindi was a bit fibery to taste but overall, the food hit the spot. Prices were on the high side - roughly $13.99 and up for a main dish. Quantities were not huge, but entirely sufficient. We finished everything that was served and we left full. The total cost was $89, including an 18% tip. All in all, glad we visited - the tasty food and excellent service will draw us back soon.

Great Indian cuisine. The flavors are unlike anything else available in the area. I was very happy when the restaurant came back after Covid. If you like your Vindaloo hot and spicy, you can get it that way at Kurrywalha! BYOB too!

We really liked it! We started with samosas and hummus. The hummus was creamy and delicious, on the thicker side but yummy. Veggie Samosas we're good. I had the chicken tikki masala, delicious. Hubs had the goat and dd had the lamb. Everything was delicious and the owner (I think) waited on us so service was very good. Our youngest isn't adventurous, but liked the chicken and really enjoyed her mango lassi. We'll definitely be back.

Had to visit Texas for a work event. Luckily, Kurrywalah popped up on my google search for Indian food and all I have is one word to describe this place... PHENOMENAL. The service was TOP NOTCH. Got greeting right when I walked in the door, helped me pick the best items, and treated you so kindly and with so much respect. Now the food... if I could move to Texas just to eat this place all the time I would so do it. I wish they could deliver me there food to Michigan!!! Food was so hot, so fresh; so delicious with so much flavoring with just the right amount of spice. Ugh! So sad I won't be back anytime soon to eat at this place again. Thank you for making my Texas trip feel like a trip back home to India

We ordered the lamb kadai and paneer makhani. We also ordered the onion kulcha. Everything was absolutely delicious!! Spice level is perfect. The atmosphere is clean and welcoming. The owner and staff were friendly and engaging. Just a fantastic experience overall!!!
