“Be prepared to eat with your hands! Their food and service was so good that I think we’ll become regulars. We got their lunch buffet. This was the first buffet I’ve ever had where the servers come to your table directly to serve you food. It was my first time eating Indian food with my bare hands and honestly, it wasn’t so bad.“

“Yum yum savory and such beautiful vibe! Saw on tiktok and added to my list of places to try and NO REGRETS! from start to end everything was amazing! Ordered a lot of food because I wanted to try it all but definitely trying other dishes on our next visit! Ofcourse I ordered the mango drink!! Mango lassi, so creamy and so tasty!! Can't go wrong with mango but the way it's prepared is just wow!!! You got to ask for the masala dosa!!! The potato filling is just so creamy and savory!! The exterior like a crepe is buttery/sweet but not too sweet!! And the dip sauces are a good addition. Spicy, creamy and savory!! Dip dip dip in each sauce and combine them!! The lamb fried biryani, medium spice level is perfect! Not spicy to where you can't enjoy! Enough for that kick and enjoyment in every bite!! Lamb was soft and delicious!!! With the rice omg can't go wrong!!! Malai kabab is the red chicken and let me tel you is not dry!! The sauce Im that is marinated with is a good and thick and savory sauce!!! We combined it with the garlic buttery naan!! Wanted to get dessert but omg we are full and have lots of left overs for tomorrow!!! Customer service is great!! Beautiful welcoming home feeling and positive vibe!! Owner is very sweet and makes you feel like family! We did come on the 1 year anniversary which we didn't know and we were given a beautiful gift "gratitude " Loved every moment and enjoyed every bite!! And every sip of that delicious mango drink!!!“

“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.“

“Our lunch was excellent! we had the chicken vindaloo and the chicken curry. the Naan bread was awesome.“

“Dined here for lunch in May 2025. A great nice little market with many dining options. This Indian Flair of cuisine is just right. Definitely for the office lunch crowd and very fast. Tasty too. Definitely recommended. Would eat here. It is open on weekends too. The larger market has a bar in there and other options for dining so great to have options. Parking in the build for a cost. If you are in town for a show at the theater or ballet, stop here and get a quick bite for sure.“

“Wonderful food exceptional service“

“Awesome food great service , friendly staff best food in town“

“Amazing food - we ordered the Vaishala thali and Pav Bhaji and the food was truly authentic. After trying and failing to find some good authentic food, the smile of satisfaction on the family's face post the meal was all that needed to be said. The service was top notch - the chef and our server, Riya made us feel right at home and gave us a true home away from home feeling! Will definitely be back to try the Khatiyawadi thali next time around.“

“I am so happy I found this amazing spot by chance. The owner, Manishbhai, is super nice and the staff ladies are great. They helped me pick out something good from their menu for lunch. The Chicken Biryani is great. Super fresh and perfect amount of spicy goodness. The samosa Pav is a perfect snack with their amazing chai. The owner and the staff make this place 10/10. I'll definitely be coming back again and again, especially for the chai. Thank you, Manishbhai.“

“I am definitely coming back. Food was flavorful and delicious. I did not know what to expect going in for the first time but I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t know what most of the food was so I will definitely be coming back to try it all. Wife and I ended up getting the veggie Biriyani and the Masala Dosa. Both were excellent. Then i saw the Bombay Sandwich. Had no clue what that was but when it came out it looked like the sandwiches that i see on youtube and tiktok that are made in India. This thing was phenomenal. Tasted great. Couldn’t even tell it was a vegetarian. Excellent food! Friendly Service! There is also a small sink in the corner so u can wash you hands which is great!“

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A truly special place.

Diwan has become one of my favorite spots because of both the food and the people. The atmosphere is warm the moment you walk in — everyone here brings their own energy that makes the experience feel personal and genuine.

Sam brings humor, humility, and real passion to everything he does. You can taste the care and skill in every dish. He leads with fairness, and it shows in how smoothly everything runs.

Tikka has such a kind, uplifting presence. She’s attentive, thoughtful, and always makes sure guests feel taken care of. Her energy adds so much warmth to the whole experience.

Meg greets you with a smile that immediately makes you feel welcome. She has a natural grace in the way she manages the front — professional, calm, and always on point.

Ali is consistently sweet, respectful, and quick to help. He pays attention without ever hovering, and it makes dining here feel effortless.

And the food? Always rich, flavorful, and made with intention. Portions are huge and very affordable.

Diwan isn’t just a restaurant — it’s a place where good food and good people come together. Highly recommend.“

“Good food, service and ambiance.“

“Best garlic Naan ever! The food was fantastic!“

“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!!“

“I don’t know why I never made it to this place earlier! I’ve been here 3 times and brought so many friends here. We all LOVE the food. The service was fabulous. We had Paneer Tikka, Daal Makhani, Bindhi Masala, Palak Paneer, Malai Kofta and Garlic Naan. All of it was super tasty. This is one of our favorite Indian restaurants now. Highly recommend!“

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

“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. 😋“

“Delicious food! 🔥 great and friendly service.“

“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.“

“Great food with the new menu! Great taste“

“Came across Biryani Hut at the Valley Ranch farmers market on 9/04 and after trying some samples, decided to pick up a couple butter chicken, tikka masala, and Beef & Chicken Kofta. My family and I love Indian food, and this is easily in our top five. The spice levels are perfect and the flavors are bright & pronounced. We served ours with homemade cilantro lime rice and store-bought naan, but would have been content to simply eat it straight from the to-go containers. The price is great, the proprietor is friendly and generous, and the food is better than you can imagine.“

“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.“

“Awesome food. Great service“

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

“I love this restaurant I come here every day for lunch“

“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.“

“First time eating here. Honestly I only wanted to try this place because of the chicken samosas. They taste just like how it would when my mom makes them at home so those were really good. The nachos were decent but I feel like if sour cream and guacamole or an Indian type of twist to guacamole would be offered it would make the dish 10 times better. Overall I would give it a 6.5 out of 10 for what I tried. Will definitely try this place again with different menu items.“

“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“

“its yoy to be good years ago under.ols managemwnt. This is now the worst of all the Monks in Houston. Small portions an big prices for substandard food“

“Love their menu and Dosa Franki as well as their Thalis! Chai and Deserts at Bake Lab are some of the best. 💕😘“
