The fried fish appetizer tastes way better than it looks, and it comes with two sauces. I would definitely get that again. I ordered a dish that was marked vegan, but it arrived and looked very creamy. So I asked whether it had dairy and was told no. So I asked whether it had coconut milk. The waiter said it did not...so I asked why it looked creamy and the waiter said it had heavy cream...and I explained that heavy cream is dairy and not vegan. So the waiter gets the chef and the chef apologizes for the mistake on the menu. Then the chef offered to make me a custom non dairy dish and it was sooooo good! It was so good that I got distracted and didn't take a picture smh In terms of the atmosphere, we were there close to it closing. There were one or two other groups there. It was very casual and a bit cold. Parking was ample.

The lamb chops were flavorful, but as you can see in the picture, it def was a bit burnt which was disappointing. The butter chicken was just okay.

It reminded me of a very creamy mango smoothie. I can't say much about the service or ambiance since I ordered online. Overall, the food here was just okay to me. I think it has potential though

Tikka masala was flavorful and tender and not greasy. Mango lassi was like eating a mango with yogurt on top-so good! They had all of the classic dishes. I hope they do well so they can continue to expand the menu and grow into a bigger space.

Located next to Woodland Mall, Amrina is an upscale Indian-inspired restaurant. Valet parking is…read moreavailable, though you can also park at the mall if you don't mind a short walk. The neo modern interior is stylish and chic. Our group opted for the 10 course Chef's table tasting menu with wine pairings. The Chef's table is in a semi private space right in front of the kitchen, separated from the main dinning room by curtains. It was fun to watch the kitchen in action, but the area felt a bit warm at times. Presentation was definitely one of the highlights of the evening. Each dish arrived in uniquely designed serve ware and each wine was presented in a different glass. The ingredients were top-notch, featuring Hokkaido scallops, Wagyu beef, yellowfin tuna, etc. That said, while some dishes highlighted the Indian flavors we were expecting, others leaned more towards American fusion. The wine pairing complemented each dish well and the sommelier provided detailed explanations for each wine. My favorite dishes of the night were the chaat and the lamb chop. Overall, we enjoyed the experience and appreciated the quality of the ingredients, the service and presentation. However I wish there's more emphasis on the Indian flavors. Based on the glimpse of the flavors we experienced in some of the courses, I suspect I might enjoy a simple bowl of vindaloo or curry from their regular menu more.

Aga's is a local legend for a reason. With over 20,000 reviews, it absolutely lives up to the hype…read moreand serves some of the most authentic Pakistani and Indian food I've had. We started with the Chicken Lollipops, which are a great Indo-Chinese fusion dish. They were perfectly crispy and fried without being greasy, served with a delicious sweet chili sauce that kept us reaching for more. The Chicken Tikka Masala was exactly what you want from the dish--rich, flavorful, and packed with depth. It also came with plenty of chicken, which isn't always the case. My favorite dish of the night, though, was the Goat Chops. They were incredibly tender, flavorful, and practically fell off the bone. Don't sleep on the Mint Lemonade. Unlike many places that simply toss a few mint leaves into the drink, Aga's actually grinds fresh mint into the lemonade, giving it a bright, refreshing flavor that stands out. The naan arrived piping hot, and the rice tasted fresh and perfectly cooked. One thing that surprised me was that neither rice nor naan came included with the entrees, so keep that in mind when ordering. Despite being extremely busy, the restaurant runs like a well-oiled machine. The space is massive, with a huge dining room, attached banquet hall, catering operation, and takeout service all running simultaneously. Even with the crowds, everything moved quickly. Service was also notably great, the staff did a great job explaining the menu and checking on us regularly without being overbearing. There's also a huge parking lot, and while it's located in a strip mall and definitely isn't fine dining, that's not why you come here. You come for the incredible food. Highly recommend. Aga's is one of those places that's worth going out of your way for especially if you are just visiting Houston.

My group of 6 walked in early on a Thursday evening without reservations and were seated right away in one of their massive dining rooms. By the time we left after our meal, a line was already forming out the door. The fact that this place is so massive and still commands crowds is impressive. Their hospitality and food were also on point, which is difficult to maintain at this scale. We enjoyed samosas, many different kebabs including the bihari, biryani, aloo masala, saag paneer, and their famous goat chops. I don't eat red meat but tried the tiniest of bites to see what all the buzz was about and could tell it was very well prepared. We ordered pitchers of mango lassi that were downed by our table immediately. Our water glasses were always refilled, and our server helped me discreetly pay the bill out of sight of my dining companions before anyone could fight me for the check. This was an excellent meal to round out our family trip to Houston, from a food, ambience, and hospitality standpoint.

Why 4 stars? Because it was a perfectly fine experience…read more --- --- --- After landing at IAH, I was on the hunt to grab something quick on the way home. I had an alternate plan initially, but timing didn't work out for me, so I perused my bookmarks as I took the parking shuttle to my car and settled on Curry Masala. I called them once I got to my car and was told my order would be ready in about 20 minutes, as my GPS read out that I was 20 minutes from the restaurant. Everything was coming up Milhouse. Because I am a basic B, I ordered chicken tikka masala and butter chicken. It was ready about 3 minutes after I arrived, and off to home I headed. I enjoyed both, but thought the tikka masala was definitely the better of the two, and the wife agreed. We had a favorite Indian spot really close to here that has unfortunately closed down, so I have been on the hunt for a new one. Curry Masala did not quite match that level, but it's not a bad option when in the area.

Cleanliness Service…read more Family friendly Flavor I loved the staff and their attentiveness. But the flavor, seasoning, and execution of the food needs work. If you don't like spicy or seasoned food, this place works for you and you don't need to continue this review. If you do care for those things and you try this place, you might agree that the flavor profile is catering to the demographic of the location that the restaurant is in and not the authenticity of the culture that it should represent. I know of another location, but this is not to take away business for one restaurant, but to help encourage this one to lean more into its authentic flavor. Even if that means moving locations because your demographic may not care for it. I had chicken Biryani (safe for an American) but the chicken was dry and with minimal flavor. The rice lacked flavor. The raita was ok, if you like everything blended together. The onions and lime/lemon you might usually have on the side was not offered with this. Fried cauliflower with chicken 65 seasoning, had a good spice level, but it was soggy.

Ordered a nice hookah with a flavor that was sweet, yet tangy strawberry/kiwi flavor that was pretty solid. We ordered Madras Prawn Curry and it was the best dish as far as tasty and were fresh, yet mild though we had asked for medium. Also a Chicken Hakka Noodles which were equally good. Chicken Lollipops were also ok but kind of small yet great as a sharing item (5) per order. So, service was friendly and top notch and provided at first by Chandan from Goa, India and then a local Hispanic lady who was pleasant but seemed in a hurry. Overall we enjoyed the experience and will be back. Only issue was they allowed some of the regular patrons to play soul songs and dance and that was fun to watch them do their dancing in sync like a urban boot scoot but when some with bad voices did karaoke it was painful. But we were done so we left by 10:45 before their off key voices killed our vibe. We will be back if in the mood. Food 4.5/5 Service 5/5 Ambience 5/5

We started with vegetable samosas and gobi Manchurian (cauliflower fritters). Both were delicious. For our entrees we ordered chicken tikka masala, chicken vindaloo, chicken biryani, and chicken fried rice. The chicken tikka masala was spicy, but so good. The biryani had a side of yogurt sauce that was so good on it. We also ordered bullet naan and garlic naan. Our waiter was attentive and helpful. He filled our cups quickly. The inside is modern and like a club vibe. We enjoyed the music. We will definitely return!
