Best Indian food in Houston hands down.. very nice atmosphere, peaceful and the People are totally awesome!! very attentive and genuinely awesome.. every time I eat out somewhere else I think of India's ( like I could be eating there and it would be AWESOME!) I recommend this place for any occasion. it is in a great spot and they also have a Buffet that is out of this world!!

A local favorite nestled back from the street, I almost missed this restaurant that met all my expectations. I went on a Saturday, early afternoon, and the front parking lot was full, but there is more parking in the rear of the restaurant. The customer service was very friendly. Diners from many walks of life came as they were, and were made welcome. I can see why this place is so popular. The dining room is classy and they accommodated a very large party while I was there. There is plenty of seating. The buffet line was very long and wrapped around the wall. There is a view through the kitchen window where you can watch the doughy naan being made, and the baker will give you a friendly smile. The buffet dishes were clean and shiny. That is really hard to find! And the table and chairs are well built and comfortable during a meeting I was in. The linens are a very nice touch. The waiter was a gentleman and pulled the chair out and seated me. There is a good variety of meats, vegetarian and vegan options, from spicy to non-spicy. There are also a few well known desserts. Everything including my mango lassi tasted fresh and substantial. I only could handle one plate! The waitstaff are experienced and friendly. The buffet is slightly more expensive here (in the twenties), but you really do get what you pay for here! I would be back for a treat and special occasion if I were back in the area. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have. Thank you for a great experience, India’s Restaurant!

When I walked in I was promptly greeted with a smile and I felt very welcome! They were so nice I felt super important. The food was delicious and fresh. I love the saag paneer; the paneer cubes are bigger than what I have had at other restaurants. I love how covid cautious they are; there’s hand sanitizer and gloves available at the buffet and all the employees wearing masks. The servers came to refill my water frequently which I appreciated. Will definitely be back soon!!

You know how it is when you want to say a restaurant has the best of a certain type of food. You can't most of the time unless you eat their foods side by side I will say that I don't remember having any better Indian food than is consistently served at India's. I've forgotten how long I've eaten there but it's a very long time. The quality of food, table service and courtesy of every employee has never wavered.

India’s Restaurant – Houston My wife has been coming to India’s Restaurant for over 45 years, and now she’s brought me into the tradition—and I’m glad she did. This place truly stands the test of time. The afternoon buffet is a favorite of mine, especially the tandoori chicken and butter chicken. The onion salad is crisp and fresh, and the naan comes out hot, straight from a traditional oven, which makes all the difference. For dinner, my go-to is the spicy lamb vindaloo, paired with fresh rice and naan. Bold, rich flavors done right. There are plenty of other excellent dishes to explore as well, all consistently prepared. Don’t forget the orange mango dessert—rumored to be the owner’s wife’s recipe. It’s the perfect way to cleanse the palate after all the wonderfully spiced dishes. The service is always great—friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Overall, an excellent dining experience and a Houston classic for a reason.

Always such a pleasure when visiting Food is delicious, Chai is superb, lamb dishes and spinach paneer are one of the best in H town. Service kind of slow, but always respect and clean. Bathroom are good, clean and on point Highly recommend, if having small children, use caution, most dishes are spicy hot. I will advise and call beforehand to Inquire about this.

Hands down some of the best Indian food in town. We choose this place for dinner. The waiters are attentive and will help you order if you don't understand the menu. They always make good suggestions. The owner will stop by your table to make sure that everything is to your liking. Never had a bad meal here. If you crave Indian food, you must give this restaurant a try. I wanted to add this - my wife lost her Emerald and Diamond ring and was devastated. She realized she may have removed it when she cleaned her hands at our table the night we visited. They give you a wet towel to freshen up before you leave. We called India's the next morning - a Saturday - and they had found it and put it in the office for safe keeping. In todays world it is important to be able to trust. In our case the person who cleared our table was honest and did the right thing. Again, we thank India's and their staff !

Local Reviewer

Food was excellent. We had the buffet, which had the spread of the usual Punjabi offerings including saag/palak paneer, butter chicken, tandoori chicken, mutton/lamb/goat curry, kheer, mango mousse All of it was fresh and very tasty. The owner is extremely nice and hospitable and came over to chat a couple times. The wait staff was very professional and very easy going. We had a child with a severe egg allergy dining with us and the wait staff host and owner knew all of the ingredients in their food. It was obvious they make things from scratch there. So we dined with ease and peace of mind knowing what to eat and what to avoid for the child. The restaurant was also very clean and give the retro 80s to 90s feel It's obvious why they have been around for 45 years. It's a Houston staple.

The best part of the restaurant is the hygiene and the service of the staff that’s fabulous they’ve done a great job kept checking us with the food service. You won’t be disappointed with the food and the dessert overall they could bring in some more vegetarian options in their buffet.
