Tried their Gujarati thali. Such a great experience with the taste, mild and right mixture of spices. Great service, they explained everything about their menu while I was confused about what to order. Thank you. See you next time.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Raj Bhavan an Indian vegetarian restaurant that truly transported me to the vibrant streets of India. From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy ambiance that set the tone for a fantastic dining experience. The menu offered a diverse range of options and exceptional food, the service was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. Our server took the time to explain each dish and made recommendations, ensuring we had a truly personalized experience.

Definitely reccomend, it's great food that doesn't take stupidly long to come out. Food: We ordered the Vada Pav, Chole Bhature, Mysore Masala Dosa, Special Combo Dosa (Masala dosa with one vada and one idli), and had falooda, rasmalai, and Kaju Anjir shake for dessert The vada pav was ESPECIALLY good. Possibly in the top 3 vada pav I've ever had. The amount of chutney they gave was perfection. The pav was slightly crispy, so you could get a subtle crunch in each bite. Ultra satisfying. I was too busy eating it to get aesthetic pictures... The chole bhature was authentic too. Great flavor! Spicy too. Too spicy for me, but I have a weak spice tolerance. Anyone used to typical Indian cuisine won't have a problem. Very nice chole. The special combo dosa was great, but the vada wasn't completely cooked. Slightly doughey, It wasn't fun to eat. The idli was better, and was amazing the the tomato chutney (which I loved btw). The coconut chutney wasn't all that special, but it wasn't unpleasant in the slightest. The sambar was good, as expected. Not the best I've ever tried, but I wouldn't turn it down. Mysore dosa was the same, spicier (obviously) and really really tasty. I loved the texture of the dosa. THE RASMALAI IS CRAZY. Highly recommend!!!! Really really really good. I love rasmalai and it was perfect, not too sweet and not soggy. I actually typically hate nuts on Indian sweets, but thankfully they turned it into little slivers. I don't even like sliced almonds, but the little slivers were small enough for me to appreciate the flavor without having texture problems. Perfect taste! I didn't like the Kaju Anjir shake but that's most likely because I hate figs and dates. The falooda was perfect though. Food was all in all a solid 4.6/5. It didn't take overly long to come out, and I'm saying that after being super hungry and impatient when I walked in. Service was also nice. I appreciate that they leave extra cutlery and small plates, because me and my family share food a lot and need extra plates. It's nice we didn't have to ask. The place was clean and so was the cutlery. No complaints there.

Great meal. Reasonable prices. Enjoyed the atmosphere and there are menus with detail for people unfamiliar with the cuisine. Left full and with leftovers. Highly recommend the dosa.

OMG! I am so impressed with the taste of everything we ordered. The Amul Cheese Chilli dosa with masala was on point. The masala was not bland at all, it had great taste. The vada pav, almost close to the vada pavsi had in Mumbai. The Ragda lattice chat was as good as what I had in Chor Bazaar, Koti, Hyderabad.

Wow, so many options! First time here and will come back! Party of 3, but feasted for 6. Not sure what we ate, we ordered what we saw others eating and what staff recommended based on our food preferences. Appetizers and Entrees were flavorful and colorful. Definitely a fun food experience for those who love trying new foods!

Been here couple of times already over the last 18 months. Keep visiting this restaurant when I am in town, visiting family in Houston. Anyways, my recent trip was disappointing. Service was slow, food took I think roughly 25 mins after we ordered. And parathas were just too hot. Had to wait 10 mins to cool down. My fingers burned. But, otherwise in other earlier visits, my express much more positive

Today was my third time here. First time, i had the masala dosa to go and i was recommended the murukus on the counter. I was thrilled at how the masala dosa was packed to go. They had the good sense to pack the potatoes separately and the dosa was rolled to perfection. I cannot remember which chutneys were accompanied by the food but the sambar was just memorable. I even stored the remainder in my freezer so i could have them with my own breads at home for the week. The murukus were just nice in spices and flavour. I could not get enough of them after the first time and have kept coming back for those specifically. Today i found out from the lady ( at the cashier, most likely owner - it slipped my mind to ask her good name at that moment) that it was her mother making them and there's about four left till her mother returns! I am rationing them so i have enough till then because It is a long drive from where i am to this place. I cannot say much about dining in because we have just had my orders to go. Wishing your mother safe travels and hopefully this place opens up all over TX for others to enjoy. Always have room for improvement so i have to give four stars, plus would not be realistic for a five since we haven't tried dining in.

Nice and friendly place but not attentive. The restroom is not up to the mark - 3.5/5. The plates and spoons are closer to how food is served back home, which is nice. Dahi Puri - 5/5 Nice and tasty. 5 pieces came to a plate. Lemon Juice - it is a combination of lemon, ginger and some other ingredients. 2.5/5 Chole Bhature - 4.5/5 it was nice and tasty. I think the oil was a bit old. Mysore masala dosa - 3.5/5 it's too crunchy. We asked for the tea after the food but it came out before the food. Would visit them if I get a chance to try to taste rest off the menu.

Raj Bhavan is a decent alternative to Shiv Sagar (Hillcroft and Southwest Fwy) for those of us in Cypress, TX! I visited this restaurant recently with my sister and brother-in-law, and we had a delightful experience. We tried Pav Bhaji Dosa (Perfectly balanced flavors, crisp dosa, and Bhaji on the side), Chole Bhature (Soft, fluffy Puri/Bhature paired with well-seasoned chole) and, Gujarati Thali (While some items were great, a few could be improved. Paneer curry was okay, rajma curry wasn’t mashed properly, and the gajar halwa wasn’t cooked to perfection (milk residue at the bottom). However, the dal rice was exceptional (5/5), and the roti reminded me of home – easily a 100/5) Overall, I’m giving this restaurant a solid 4/5. It’s definitely going to be my go-to spot whenever I visit Houston, and my sister and brother-in-law (Cypress residents) are already planning to return! Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic and delicious Vegetarian Indian food nearby.

A pretty mediocre restaurant. Their snacks and chats are okay while any mains are definitely not good. Not sure how everyone was quiet about the food when dosas, sambar and chutney were bitter and sour. Mooli paratha was too bland, uncooked and unfit for consumption. Definitely not worth the price or travel.
