50 Best Indian Restaurants in Houston

“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.“

“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!!!“

“Dyn-o-mite ! Excellent, wonderful, comfortable, tasty Indian food. Ive tried them all. Just better. And Mickey (the owner) may geting old (the restaurant has been open around 40 years) , he's still extra witty and sharp. Took my bride there for a first date. Rice pudding the way it's made in Nirvana. The #1 in Houston. Richmond & Kirby. Still married.“

“If you’re looking for authentic Indian and Pakistani food in Houston, Texas, Cafe Taj Indo Pak Restaurant is definitely a spot worth checking out! Located on W Bellfort Avenue, this restaurant offers a great variety of traditional Indian and Pakistani dishes, grilled specialties, and flavorful comfort food.

We tried several dishes, including the crispy samosas served with dipping sauces, sizzling grilled platters loaded with seasoned meats, bell peppers, and onions, and a delicious Indian-style pizza topped with chicken, melted cheese, and fresh herbs. Everything looked incredibly appetizing, with vibrant colors, generous portions, and a wonderful variety of spices.

The sizzling platters were especially impressive, with beautifully grilled meats and a combination of vegetables that made the presentation stand out. The samosas were a great way to start the meal, and the creamy traditional dessert topped with almonds was a lovely way to finish.

What makes Cafe Taj in Houston worth exploring is its extensive menu, combining classic Indian cuisine, Pakistani specialties, tandoori-style dishes, and unique fusion options.

Whether you’re craving Indian food, Pakistani food, halal dining, or simply looking for a new restaurant in Southwest Houston, Cafe Taj is a great place to add to your list.

Definitely worth checking out if you love flavorful food and exploring different cuisines in Houston, TX!“

“Raji Indian Restaurant – A Hidden Gem! If you’re looking for an authentic, flavorful, and truly delightful dining experience, look no further than Raji Indian Restaurant! The food is exceptionally fresh and absolutely delicious, packed with bold spices and rich flavors that make every bite unforgettable. The staff is incredibly warm and welcoming, creating an atmosphere that feels just as comforting as the food itself. Their hospitality is top-notch, making every visit feel special. I could easily eat here every single day—and I actually tell everyone at work about this place! In fact, I’ve brought many of my employees here, and they all love it too. One dish that stands out above the rest is the Manchurian—it’s simply phenomenal! Whether you’re craving something savory, spicy, or just plain delicious, Raji Indian Restaurant delivers every time. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for amazing food and a wonderful dining experience. Five stars all the way!“

“Great southern Indian vegetarian! Wonderful doses“

“I don't know how to give more stars. I also don't know what took us so long to come here because we genuinely do love Indian food and have been to a handful of restaurants around Houston. This is by far the greatest Indian food we have ever had. We started with the appetizer of the vegetable Momo's and they were incredible. Yes, maybe a little spicy for my wife's taste but still incredibly flavorful. The naan bread is next level, enough said. The lamb vindaloo if that is spelled correctly, and my wife had the daal. Both incredibly flavorful, perfect spice level. Got the mixed tandoori grill and it very good spice flavoring. We finished with of course kheer and a unique ice cream that I've never had had of, I believe it was spelled chookoo?? alongside the mango. Wow! If you're not a fan of Indian food for some strange reason or you do not believe anything I'm saying, just walk in and order the mango ice cream. Your mind will be changed, forever.
Thank you for excellent service and excellent food.“

“My to-go place every time I visit Houston. Hidden under lower ground of a building serving quality and affordable food at the best. The owner and his kitchen staff manage it very well even if it gets busy in the morning.

I just wish that they open little late at night for dinner as well!“

“Awesome food. Great service“

“Food and service was excellent!!“

“Christian took excellent care of us today. The food choices were beyond amazing! This is not your everyday dining experience. (Though we could easily eat there every day!) This is elevated dining in a casual, welcoming atmosphere. We HIGHLY recommend putting this on your must-do list. You do NOT want to miss this!“

“Exceptional authentic Indian food in a quiet atmosphere with great service! We ordered Salt and Pepper Shrimp, Butter Chicken, Biryani Goat, and several different Naan breads. Fantastic flavor in every dish! They have a weekday lunch buffet for $15.99 and Saturday lunch buffet from 11-3pm for $19.99. We will definitely be back!“

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

“A wonderful place for tea and conversations.“

“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.“

They still went above and beyond to deliver an amazing experience for us! Very professional! You can feel their love for feeding in the food and services provided!“

“Reasonably quick service, quiet enough to have a conversation, but noisy enought for it to be private.

Very hot (temperature) food that is tasty.

Still a lot of customers at 2:30, so not sure what it's like during the 12 to 2 lunch period.“

“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“

“What do I recommend about Tarka??? Literally everything! It’s fast, delicious and they make ordering online and pickup a breeze. My only complaint? They’re not in North TX so I have to drive down to Austin or Houston for it. Have I done so? Yes! Is it worth it? Yes! But I would eat Tarka more often it there was one up here.“

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

“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. 😋“

“Really good service, amazing food, the guy is really friendly and fun to talk to. Uncle shoaib always gives us great food and service. I always come here for qeema, bun kubab and the kulfis. Overall the best place to sit, chat and spend ur time. Every second spent here is quality time.“

“Good food, service and ambiance.“
