    It's was a pretty burrito definitely not a shawarma I was expecting off of Harwin Southwest Houston.
    Abner M.

    I was not very impressed, shawarma was wrapped in a flour tortilla the kind a Mexican burrito would be in. It's Harwin area I was expecting grandpa baking bread in a brick oven in the middle of the establishment. I had high expectations sorry. Pretty good chipotle burrito though.

    One of the rare desi restaurants in Houston that's open early if you love to go have chai and breakfast! The service was good and the ambience is nice and quiet. It wasn't too crowded, so a nice place to sit and chill. About the food: Maggi Noodles - plain noodles without any veggies, but hot and delicious. The weather and the nostalgia made it extra special. Aloo Paratha - served with pickle, yogurt and chatni, it was hot and yum. Definitely recommend. Chatni Cheese Sandwich - looked tempting, and the bread was fried just right. But the chatni was a bit too salty, and that kinda ruined the taste. And one of the reasons for star less. Tea - The masala chai was delicious, t

    Paratha

    Tried a bunch of things here and really enjoyed them all. The team working the restaurant were all very friendly and helpful as well. The Beef Patties were a good mix of crispy and flaky. The Chicken Club Sandwich was just a cheesy and creamy delight. The Keema was pretty flavorful and thankfully not too oily as I've had elsewhere. The Egg Bhurji was solid, but I wish it was a tad spicier (something I'd ask for next time instead of getting jalapeños on the side). And the paratha was the perfect way to enjoy those dishes. Wrapped up the meal with a great cup of chai that had an ideal mix of flavor and sweetness. Will def be back again soon.

    The restaurant decided to play a joke on me, look at the oil floating on top.. Enough to decrease my lifespan in one meal.. Not sure if they meant to play a prank on my to go order!!

    Chicken Tikka.
    Nicholas D.

    Ordered the Chicken Tikka over Rice for lunch. Really good. The kebab-style chunks of white meat were super tender and heavily seasoned with multiple spices, the most notable of which was paprika; it also had a kick to it. Served with jasmine rice with diced tomatoes, onions, and cucumbers. Served with cup of green cliantro-jalepeno dressing for dipping. Would order again. BTW, it took about 15 minutes for them to make it, but Ot was worth the wait. Note well: the picture doesn't show the full portion; I had already eaten two of the chicken pieces.

    Egg burji

    Usual customer here. Lately the quality has downgraded. I always order egg burji with pratha. Waited 20 minutes after opening so the workers can get settled. Called about 10+ times to place an order for pick up. Got to the restaurant and the parking lot was empty except in front of chai khana. About 4 or 5 cars by in front so I thought it was busy but when I walked in, it was empty and lackadaisical. The guy by the register was very nice and polite as usual. Worker from the back looked annoyed to be there. Got my food and double checked if my order was correct or n my car. Got home and the burji was extremely spicy and dark. It tasted like Shan karahi masala was topped off onto the egg. Too much salt. Picture included. Disappointed so gotta keep it moving. Probably gonna try another early bird spot. Maybe Hyderabadi chai on wilcrest. Would give 1 star but the register guy is always nice

    Visited Aga's with my family on the 4th of July. had called earlier for a table reservation…read morereservations require a minimum of 10 people, so we decided to just walk in. Oh my gosh... the place was absolutely packed! There were people waiting outside. We scanned the QR code, entered our details n waited for about 30 minutes before getting a table. The interior isn't super fancy or highend but once you see the crowd inside, you immediately understand why this place is so popular. It was buzzing with people, and every table was full. We ordered Chicken Lollipop, Chicken Bihari Kababs, Kali Mirch Chicken Curry, naan, rice and lassi. Everything was fresh, flavorful & absolutely delicious. The Chicken Bihari Kababs n Kali Mirch Chicken Curry were the stars of the meal. Despite the huge crowd the service was quick, organized, and very professional. That's something really appreciated. I've honestly never seen this kind of rush at any restaurant in the Dallas area. The food definitely lives up to the hype and now understand why people are willing to wait just to get in. Later found out their chops are one of the signature dishes, so that's definitely on my list for the next visit. Overall, great food, great service and a great family dining experience. just hope they open a branch in Dallas someday it would be a huge hit!

The spicy kick to those fried pickles will stay embedded in my brain because It gave a new twist on the fried pickle I had never imagined nor experienced before. Ok and now the burger story, and so many other good things to eat here for the palate. Although the inspiration for the Pac-Man character was the image of a pizza with a slice removed I would say the Pak-Man burger was the perfect Puck-(in a burger)-Man. The Pak sauce is for real and just the right taste to go with the seasoning. The brioche buns held tight together even with the dripping sauce and flavors coming out of this fantastic meal. I love Samosas too and the truck says it all. Next time I'll get some of the Nutella samosa and or kulfi ice cream if they have it. Glad I stopped in to try this truck out and the staff was supper friendly and efficient.

We had the family garlic naan I forgot which karahi but the chicken breast with a cream based sauce, mango lassi, chole (chickpeas), lahori fish. It took me this long to go because I kept looking at their prices and couldn't justify, but don't be like me and let it scare you away. The portions are definitely more than enough for 2. They are not stingy with their portion size. Looks like their weekday lunch prices are pretty decent so I'm going to have to go back for that for sure. Pretty much everything we had was great. I will say next time I want to try a more traditional tomato based Karahi. Family size Naan was $10 it's probably like 3 regular naan super fluffy not dense so it's easy to eat. Chole was perfect great flavor all around chickpeas were soft. Mango lassi was good but I think it was too heavy for me so I may pass on it next time and leave more room for food. Not sure what kind of fish they use for the lahori fish but the flavors were great, I feel like it should come with fries and I wish it was another type of fish but otherwise on point. The Karahi was chicken breast, really good flavor if you are introducing someone to Pakistani food,it's cream based so it's milder but still has great flavor. My bill was around $87 and I definitely had leftovers. I suggest not going alone if you are getting off the regular menu and not weekday lunch.
