This was my first time here. The staff were very kind and all the curries were delicious. I'd like to visit again.

Came into this traditional Indian restaurant and was surprised to find it nearly empty — but don’t let that fool you. The food was absolutely delicious and full of authentic flavor. Everything from the naan to the curries and rice was fresh and satisfying. The service was also great — friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Definitely a hidden gem worth supporting!

Just ordered a big lunch to go from Gourmet India for 8 people last minute and they had food ready promptly and the food was incredible! I knew it was a last minute order and they were so accommodating and the owners were super kind as well. I absolutely would recommend them!!

Exceptional authentic North Indian food made in dhabba style and served in. Buffet format ( which lets you taste wide variety). The food was perfectly spiced and we loved the dal makhani, paneer saag, baingan Bharta . Dessert were excellent and made in-house (gulab jamun, kheer). Love this place !

This was my first visit and the food was incredible. It was the best meal I have had in Houston. Don't let the location fool you, the restaurant is very clean, the service was great and the owner and his son were very personable. I will be back and so should you.

This was my first time having Indian food and it was a great first impression. We got the chicken and lamb samosas and they were both very tasty. I got the butter chicken and my wife got the lamb madras. They were both so flavorful and rich and went perfectly with the onion naan.

The food was absolutely delicious and full of flavor, with fresh ingredients and unique combinations that really stood out !!!! The presentation was on point, and you could tell that a lot of care went into each dish. I particularly enjoyed Chicken Tikka Masala, which had the perfect balance of spice and richness. 1000000% RECOMMEND THIS PLACE :)

We visited this hidden gem in Houston for my birthday and were blown away! Although we missed the buffet, the staff was incredibly welcoming, and the chef personally answered our questions about the menu. The food was the best Indian cuisine we've ever had—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Don’t let the older shopping center exterior fool you—the inside is clean, cozy, and inviting. This family-run spot is now a must-visit every time we’re in town. Highly recommend! — MJ
