Great service and menu items here. If you're more for the spicier side of things this is just the…read moreplace for you. (This is my opinion though as every meal I tried was spicy) but non the less they were delicious. Wonderful and helpful staff and great portion sizes. Things to definitely try is first the mango lassi drink! Delicious!!! Don't knock until you've tried it! Then the burnt garlic fried rice with dynamite chicken or the chicken tikka masala also enjoyed the lamb masala. Their menu is a mixture of fusion and traditional Indian foods. The only thing I didn't enjoy that much was two of their deserts, the gulab jamun which is like donut holes soaked in sugar, it was overly sweet for me and then the gajar ka halwa which was like a sweet potato desert. Everything else was tasty and delicious and I truly had a great dinner.

On my first night after arriving in Houston, Texas, my friend, her husband, and I decided to have…read moredinner at an Indian restaurant in Humble. It was a Friday evening, the day after Christmas 2025. We arrived here around 6:30pm and found parking fairly quickly. The restaurant at the time was not busy and we were seated almost immediately in the middle of the room. We spent about 10 minutes to decide on what to order and we opted to share family style. Our time here was about 1 hour or so, finally leaving around close to 8pm. It was definitely a nice place to be in, especially with Indian cuisine. The ambiance was nice and quiet. I guess we got the jackpot or avoided any dinner rush on a Friday night. We ended up ordering individually between us and added more food if needed. We ordered biryani, lamb korma, some spicy dumplings, tandoor chicken, which was nice and spicy, an order of veggie samosas, and of course, garlic naan to smooth things out. It was a feast for the eyes and taste buds. The staff here was very professional and dedicated to the food and cuisine that they serve every night. I did enjoy the restaurant's decor while we dined. The quality of the food and portions were adequate. You might want to do yourself a favor and come here, if you are in the Houston area and want to give tihs place a try. The overall experience here at The Monk's Indian Bistro was very good and quite a magical actually. It felt like a good place to go to when you are feeling Indian cuisine but don't want to drive around Houston looking for that sweet spot for lunch or dinner. The restaurant itself is visually beautiful and they try to make it upscale while being a good place to have your next meal. I particularly enjoyed the lamb korma and the tandoor chicken. They had forgotten to make the tandoor chicken after the rest of the order had been delivered already. We ended up having the tandoor chicken at the end of the meal. Everything was amazing and full of good flavors. It was a meal that filled our bellies and definitely was awesome. Maybe my friend decided to celebrate Christmas with us a day later. Who knows. Only thing I do know is that this place is very good and you should try it out sometime, if you are in the Humble area of Houston, Texas. Give it a try and you won't regret it. The Monk's Indian Bistro is located at 9626 FM 1960 Bypass Rd W in Humble, Texas. They accept major credit cards as well as cash. As far as parking goes, they have plenty of parking here for anyone and everyone who wishes to go here to have their slice of Indian fare. It's not too far from the Houston (IAH) international airport. There is always Uber and Lyft at your disposal, if you need them on demand. For the most part though, it was a delicious meal that will captivate you and your senses, not to mention your taste buds and everything that you are. While I have yet to immerse myself in the biriyani's, I know for a fact that the curries are amazing and I do enjoy the basmati rice and the garlic naan. My absolute favorite would be the tandoor chicken. Might need to see if I can find a recipe for that. In the meantime though, The Monk's Indian Bistro here in Houston, Texas is legit and definitely one you'd want to come to while you're traveling through Texas. It was definitely delicious and hope it will be for you. My friends and I enjoyed it. The spices can be overwhelming but it was good and helpful. 5.0 stars for the overall experience. Support local! A+

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.

Their naan is fire. I have never ate there but there are tables if you wanted to but it is inside a gas station.

Chicken tikka masala is good very flavorful and they give you good amount of meat. My grandson is vegan and he has tried many of their vegan options and really likes them all. The only issue he has had is them being out of cauliflower for a dish he really likes. If you have a craving for indian food in baytown this place is the spot to check out!

YES RIGHT ! VERY RIGHT. The people taking your order are actually really nice , the place is clean and the food! Omg ! Rich in color and flavor. You can taste the freshness. Comes VERY HOT, so be cautious. There's tables to eat inside if you'd like but we took it to go down the street to a local little park down the street and try it. Serving size is nice. Could use more chicken tbh but for $15 an order I'm definitely not mad at it. My boyfriend and i got butter chicken and chicken tikka masala, we also tried their 2 types of nan. Personally i prefer the butter nan over the garlic nan since it came out a tad softer and more pillow like than the garlic but both were warm & the perfect sharing size. Very tasty. Overall a great first time experience, will definitely be coming back.

If you enjoy Indian food, I highly recommend Aga's Restaurant. Just be sure to avoid Saturday nights unless you're prepared for a very long wait!

AMAZING!!! I have…read morebeen here a handful of times and finally convinced my husband and his family to try it for the first time. I joined the waitlist online before arriving because if you know Aga's, you know there's always a long line of people waiting outside! It took about 40 minutes for our group to be seated, but once we were sat down, the service was pretty quick and the staff was very nice. We started off with a pitcher of mango lassis for the table. It was delicious! It's basically like a really thick mango smoothie. It is pretty filling though, so I suggest taking it slow to save room for the main courses. I'd give it a 9/10 -- it would've been a 10/10 if it had been a little colder. The chicken lollipops are a MUST every time I go. The color is a little intimidating because you'd assume they're extremely spicy, but they really aren't. They're super flavorful on their own, but the side of chili sauce takes them to another level. 10/10. We tried the dynamite shrimp for the first time, and they were amazing. The shrimp were crispy, juicy, and full of flavor. 10/10. We accidentally ordered the wrong thing and ended up with the samosa chaat (not pictured). We were a little skeptical at first, but ended up pleasantly surprised. The combination of flavors complemented each other really well. 8/10. For the entrees, we ordered the chicken Peshawari karahi, chicken tikka masala, signature chops, and Aga's platter. Everything was great. For beginners, the chicken tikka masala is a great choice. It's a tomato-based curry with a little bit of spice. 10/10. The chicken Peshawari karahi was my first time trying it, and I loved the flavor of the curry. Something about it tasted very homey. I just wish they had a boneless version because it would definitely become my new go-to dish. 9.5/10. I didn't really get to try much of the grilled bbq entrees, but everyone else at the table really enjoyed them. 9.5/10. We paired everything with 1 large white rice and 4 garlic naans, which was enough for our table of 5. Overall, I love this place and will definitely be back! 10/10. Note: we did try the Fresh Paan outside, unfortunately it was not my cup of tea. But the floral notes left a really nice fresh feeling to my mouth lol.

If you're not a fan of spicy, I would stick with level 1 or 2. I ordered mine with basil rice. Pretty good. I'll be back for sure. The restaurant itself is nothing fancy at all. Decor was very basic. I noticed one table that needed to be cleaned the entire time I was there. Bottom line - Really good Indian food. However, The lack of attention to detail in the dining area cost them a star. I'll be back. Bon appétit, y'all.

First time dining at Namaste…read more The food itself was delicious. They have a mixture of Indian and Chinese food options. We started with samosas, which were gobbled up immediately. So good. Then we ordered our entrees, which were full of flavor. I'd go back just for the noodles. They didn't have quite a few of the desserts I wanted, but they offered alternatives. It was okay. Not really a fan of fried foods, so it's not something I'd get again. The presentation was superb though. Each table has bottled water at room temperature. Service was good. Owner was friendly and kind. Located in a shopping complex so there is plenty of parking.
