“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“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“

“Very tasty food !!! Must be visited in Houston“

“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.

Desi Junction isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a celebration of Indian culture and cuisine. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a one-of-a-kind dining experience in Houston. It’s a place I’ll return to again and again!“

“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!!!“

The best dish was the chicken lollipop! And the rest were good too!

“July 2025

This wasn’t just dinner. It was therapy. This place isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a love letter to every Indian soul who has ever craved something chatpata at 7 pm and ended up ordering five things instead of one. 😋

Finding a pure veg gem like this in today’s culinary jungle is like finding your long-lost childhood tiffin box—still warm, comforting, and full of familiar flavors.

What truly won me over? The menu. It’s not just a list of items—it’s a carefully curated cravings checklist. From South Indian classics to Mumbai street magic, everything is there. Honestly, it felt like the chef looked into my brain, wrote down all my midnight food dreams, and turned them into reality. 📜✨

Here’s what we gobbled down (don’t judge, we were emotionally invested):
• Rava Masala Dosa – Crispy, comforting, and had that golden crunch you hear before you taste.
• Dahi Puri – Little flavor bombs. Sweet, tangy, and that oh-so-satisfying puri explosion.
• Samosa Pav – A chaotic good. It’s Mumbai in a bite. Carb-on-carb crime? Absolutely. Regrets? Zero.
• Pav Bhaji – Mashed dreams served with butter-loaded buns. Could’ve used a tad more spice, but hey, my spice tolerance is slightly psychotic.

Now here’s the honest truth: Not every single dish was life-changing—but that’s okay. Some hit the high notes, some sang backup vocals. But the whole band played well. 🎶 And in a world where taste is subjective, there’s something here that’ll absolutely steal your heart (and maybe your last piece of pav).

✨TL;DR – If you’re a die-hard fan of Indian veg delights, don’t walk—run to this place. It’s nostalgic, soulful, slightly chaotic, and absolutely worth it.

PS: Tomorrow, we go in for Round 2. May the cravings be ever in our favor. Will report back—fully fed and emotionally overwhelmed.“

“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 . 👌“

“Amazing food.. just absolutely amazing! Full of flavor and spice! We bought so many dishes and we’ll be back! The mango chutney is to die for and so is everything else! Highly recommend 10/10“

“Best momo in town and large buffet selection“

“Arrey bhai, felt like Charminar shifted to this side of town.

Dropped in when I was shooting . The aroma hit us at the door, and the staff — full mehmaan-nawaazi — pulled up chairs before we even asked.. goat biryani. Full dum, masala right to the core, meat so soft it slipped off the bone. Extra raita and mirchi-ka-salan? They brought it with a smile, no extra charge.

The owner himself is a gem — humble, soft-spoken, and clearly takes pride in his food. He didn’t just check in , he actually listened. Even the staff spoke with respect and made us feel like we were eating at a friend’s house, not a restaurant.

For this quality and hospitality, the price is more than fair. If you miss real Hyderabad taste and old-city warmth, this is the spot. Full paisa vasool. Will be back again,, THANK YOU.“

“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.“

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

“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!!“

“One of the best food experiences I ever had. Ordered food for a family function and every individual cant stop praising about the food.A must visit and a perfect place for bulk food orders. Special mention to the owner for his hospitality and humble service. You guys deserve our respect.Keep up the consistency going forward.“

“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.“

“Good food, service and ambiance.“

“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.“

“Awesome place to be. Their staff is great. Very accommodating. Clean atmosphere. As a vendor this matters. facebook.com/decoarteventplanners www.tiktok.com/decoart650 instagram.com/decoarteventplanners Https://g.page/decoarteventplanners“

“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. 😋“
