“The best! Exquisite food, service and ambiance. Great value for the experience. Can't wait to go back!“

“Great food & great service!“

“My parents and I visited Aga’s restaurant and were amazed at not only the quality of food but also the service. This is easily one of, if not the best meal we’ve ever eaten. I cannot recommend this place enough! Such a warm and welcoming environment! Everything about this restaurant was great. The place was clean and smelled good. The staff and greeter were very nice. Our waiter Khatija was awesome, the staff also worked as a team in bringing and cleaning up our food. The food was fresh and awesome. Great atmosphere with really nice people. The floor manager took his time to welcome my family and made it his main priority to adjust everything to our liking. Especially nowadays with COVID-19, it’s hard to find a clean but comfortable restaurant environment I felt like my family was number 1. Also, it felt like I was over at family or friends. So I would like to take the opportunity to thank Mr.Sufiayn, Mr.Shawqat, and Ms.Khatija from the bottom of my heart.“

“really good and flavorful chicken tikka rolls! Came with a green chutney sauce and a tikka sauce! The owner was nice enough to give a mango lassi on the house and everything’s halal so that’s a plus too!

Dietary restrictions: Had veggie options like paneer

Parking: free parking in the garage for 2 hours if u buy anything at the lyric market

Wheelchair accessibility: open space with multiple food options, enough walk space for wheels chairs“

“Amazing tikka masala, saag paneer, samosas, fries, and garlic naan! My new favorite restaurant! Please add a sampler platter to your menu!“

“I had a great visit today! We were 6 people in total and ordered behari kebab, chicken malai boti, naan, paratha, daal, chawal, chicken rashmi kebab and gulab jaman. The food was great, however we weren’t aware that we had already been charged 15% of service charge, which I’m assuming goes to the staff at this location, additionally my husband tipped 18%, only because he thought that’s the way to tip the servers and there was no service charge included. I think the store should state upfront about the service charge, so the customer puts an additional tip accordingly.

Thanks!“

“Food and service was excellent!!“

“Awesome food. Great service“

“We were here for my boyfriends birthday tonight and my birthday last month. We will make this our date night at least once a month.“

“Tried the following
1. Jilebi - fresh and yummy, made daily, excellent taste
2. Samosa - though it is made fresh, it is very oily, stuffing is no good
3. Pakoda - not that good
4. Ompudi / Sev - no good and over priced“

“A Culinary Gem in Houston – Desi Junction Indian Cuisine

If you’re on the hunt for authentic and flavorful Indian cuisine in Houston, look no further than Desi Junction Indian Cuisine. This place truly stands out for its exceptional food, stellar service, and attention to quality.

From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted with warm hospitality and a vibrant ambiance that sets the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The menu offers an impressive variety of dishes, each prepared with care and bursting with the rich, authentic flavors that define Indian cuisine.

One of the highlights of my visit was the pani puri and dosa, both served just like the iconic street food in India. The pani puri was crisp and tangy, with perfectly spiced water and fillings that transported me straight to the bustling streets of Mumbai. The dosa was golden, crispy, and paired with chutneys and sambar that tasted like home. These dishes alone make Desi Junction a must-visit for anyone craving the true essence of Indian street food.

What truly impressed me was the attention to detail—every dish felt like a masterpiece, made with fresh ingredients and an evident passion for cooking. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, ready to guide you through the menu and ensure your meal was perfect from start to finish.

“The food is amazing! I drive almost an hour just to pick up food for me and my son. I recommend the chicken and goat karahi and daal and rice. Super spicy and delicious 🤤“

“Wonderful food exceptional service“

“Nice and friendly place but not attentive. The restroom is not up to the mark - 3.5/5. The plates and spoons are closer to how food is served back home, which is nice.

Dahi Puri - 5/5 Nice and tasty. 5 pieces came to a plate.

Lemon Juice - it is a combination of lemon, ginger and some other ingredients. 2.5/5

Chole Bhature - 4.5/5 it was nice and tasty. I think the oil was a bit old.

Mysore masala dosa - 3.5/5 it's too crunchy.

We asked for the tea after the food but it came out before the food.

Would visit them if I get a chance to try to taste rest off the menu.“

“Samosas were amazing, and teachers LOVED them! Thank you so much!“

“Great food. Quick service. Amazing setting. All the staff very warm and welcoming“

“Wonderful little deli in the Houston tunnels. Continuous flow of business men coming to get authentic chai. The paneer tikka masala was very flavorful. Appropriate serving size. Fresh tender naan was included. I would be a regular customer if I worked/lived in the area.“

“Amazing tikka masala, saag paneer, samosas, fries, and garlic naan! My new favorite restaurant! Please add a sampler platter to your menu!“

“Best maghuz nihari and nalli biryani we had also ghazala provided best service . 👌“

“We got to try some samples at the Bay Area Farmer’s Market today and everything was so yummy we had to buy pretty much everything we sampled! Brought it home and it was just as good heated up for our dinner! Just the right amount of spicy. We’ll be back to get more!“

“Must visit….tasty food…I loved it all..👌👌👌“

“The Shinwari Chicken Karahi was exceptional, perfectly complemented by their freshly baked naan. The naan was impressively large, with a single serving being sufficient for one person. While the Chicken Banjara Boti Kabab was decent, it lacked the expected spice level and could benefit from a more robust seasoning approach.“

“Very delicious food. This little hole in the wall restaurant has become a favorite of ours. The food is always flavorful, soo delicious! The best Spicy Saag Paneer, Spicy Chicken Tikka Masala and Garlic Naan! Reasonably priced. Love it! The lady that waits on you is also very sweet and makes sure to ask if everything is too your liking! They also allow you to take a bottle of wine to enjoy and provide the wine bottle opener and wine glasses. There's also a liquor store next door where you can purchase wine from their cooler.

Kid-friendliness: Our little one hasn't developed the taste buds for Indian food, but they don't mind us taking her Happy Meal to enjoy while mom and dad enjoy the good stuff.“

“Great food with the new menu! Great taste“

“The food was great. Manager spoke to us and he was wonderful any questions we had he was happy to assist. The server didn’t really want to assist did care to explain food items and quick to cut us off. Was nice as long as we didn’t ask questions on the food.“

“The customer service was outstanding, and the Chicken Curry was exactly what I was looking for.” “I was so pleased with the service. They went above and beyond to help me find the perfect Dish.” “I was very impressed with the quality of the curry, very fresh I received. We will back soon“

“I have been going to Shiva for years. The consistency of the food is better than the majority of the restaurants across Houston. The move to the new location has not had a negative impact on the quality of the food. The lamb is always very tender, the chicken succulent, and always full of flavor. The staff are always friendly and the owner is a really nice guy. I have recommended this Indian restaurant to family, friends and work colleagues.“

“This has always been one of my favorite go-to places for Indian food! I love the atmosphere and Helen always takes great care of my family when we come in. Love it!!“

“My favorite Dhaba in Houston. Jassi paaji makes authentic Punjabi food which always hits the spot. He can always customize your order to your liking. One of my favorite spots in Houston.“

“Ordered Tikka Shack via Uber Eats Monday evening. Where do I start? The samosas were the bomb 💣 so filling. Secondly those Hot Coconut Curry wings were made with love with a unique taste that left you wanting more. Lastly that Chicken Tikka Masala plate was 🤤, the real deal. The only disappointment is that I pulled up to this place over a year ago to dine in a a since I never been we ended changing our mind to go elsewhere. Why???? I missed out on an awesome gem but now will definitely be coming into dine in soon. Keep up the great food coming. Apologies, I meant to take pics to post but we were to eager to dig in. It definitely did not disappoint. 😋“
