100/10 would recommend! ?
Came in Saturday evening for dinner. They had just opened up so they weren’t busy and we were able to sit wherever we wanted. We started off with drinks and appetizers, I ordered the brujería and we had the milk buns and masala fries. The milk buns were just okay they didn’t have the best flavor. But the masala fries were fantastic! My friend ordered the lamb kabob and she really enjoyed her dish, the lamb was nice and tender. I ordered the Chicken 65 and brussels sprouts, the chicken was delicious. The flavor was incredible. The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful, the bathrooms are private, unisex, and very well kept. Our waiter Oscar was super friendly and he had some great recommendations. Overall, I’ll definitely be back!

GREAT happy hour - 50% off glasses of wine, and a perfect variety of small plates and actual meals. Try the chicken 65 and the masala fries!

I've come to Auden multiple times and every time has been phenomenal! The food is super flavorful and fresh, it comes out so quickly too. Service is amazing, I love coming to sit at the bar and getting drinks from Oscar. He even named a drink after me, "Pretty in Pink", to the parameters of what I like in a cocktail. Tonight, he gave me this beautiful Oaxacan old fashioned with lychee- absolutely divine. I cannot rave enough about the chicken 65, do not skip on it! Auden is THE place to be for happy hour, I recommend this place for everyone looking for good food, good vibes, & good people!

Love this place !! Chicken 65 is to die for and Oscar is the best waiter !!
Had brunch here today with a friend. We had such a wonderful experience. The food was delicious and our waiter Oscar was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The one question he could not answer brought the Pastry Chef out to our table to explain the ingredients in the seasonal lassi which was also delicious. He, too, was friendly, personable and cared about what we thought. I plan to encourage all my friends to try Auden.
Parking: Only $5 to park for brunch. Too bad the garage no longer allows validated parking.

Auden is a fantastic restaurant. Food and service are both top-notch. The Brujeria is a cocktail that is not to be missed. The octopus was the best I’ve ever had. My cheeseburger was nearly perfect with tomato jam and dijonnaise. I heartily recommend it.

Never knew this part of Houston existed. Love the ambience here. I have the feeling they get full during rush hrs coz the place is not very big. Wished they validated parking.

The food was wonderful and the dessert was great. The only issue was that our server would disappear for 10-15 minutes at a time. The record was 25 minutes after we got our dessert and we wanted to pay and leave.
They clearly didn’t have enough servers for the evening so more floor staff should be staffed.

The service is awesome but the food just wasn’t it for me. Every dish had a bit of an Indian twist to it but not done well enough. Thus it was just ruining the dish trying to do the most. One of the appetizers just didn’t sit right in my stomach and so I felt gross all dinner. The decor is also very much like a hotel lobby so I think all in all this may be a one and done.

Good restaurant, good food and service but THEY CHARGE ME MORE TIP THAT THE ONE I LEFT. I don’t care about the money, but that’s not right.

I recently dined at Auden and I can’t say enough good things about it! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. Oscar waited on us and he did a fantastic job at recommending dishes and drinks, so we kept ordering!
The food was delicious and unique. We started with the octopus and Chicken 65 which was perfectly seasoned and set the tone for the rest of the meal. For our main courses, we ordered the salad and pasta both of which were cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. You could tell that every dish was prepared with care and high-quality ingredients.
The dessert was the cherry on top! We tried the Chocolate dessert and peach cobbler which were outstanding.
Overall, Auden exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable yet elevated dining experience.

The food was amazing but the service was terrible. Everything took a very long time-for someone to come to our table, then to get our cocktail and glass of wine, then to get the food. I requested a simple martini (literally gin and a twist) but it was made wrong. I told them and they didn't offer to fix it-the server literally shrugged shoulders and walked off. We ordered an appetizer and one of us ordered a salad. The first thing that came to the table was one entree and our appetizer. (And no plates to put the appetizer on). We ended up cancelling the salad (because once the hot entree is there-why have it?). I sat there waiting for my entree and urged my spouse to eat his dish while it was hot. He was done before mine came out. None of the firing of dishes made sense. We would have ordered more drinks and dessert but at that point we just wanted to leave. It's such a shame because the food/the flavors/the sauces were outstanding. The restaurant was prob only 60% full so that wasn't the issue. I'd like to think it was just an off night for them but there are so many better places to go where the very basics of service are met, it wasn't worth the expense.
Picked this place to have my wife's birthday dinner per a friend's advice. Our waiter was funny and attentive. Food was excellent and cocktails hit the spot. Don't pass on this place.
