The food is absolutely amazing! They have made an upgrade to the menu that is next level! This is exactly what we've been missing here and let me put yall on game! I got the chicken kabob and this is a MUST try! What better way to lounge at Aura Lounge than to enjoy this dish with company or some quality alone time! It's deliciously season chicken pieces with rice and a perfectly paired creamy sauce! It literally makes you feel like you're coming back from a long day from school or work, and being greeted with a warm home meal! It's perfectly balanced! Ask about them and they'll happy help you order and answer your questions! Next thing you have to try are the pani puri! It was my first time trying them and they have a flavor like no other! It's so good and what wowed me is that it's made out of vegetables! They're these Fred balls stuffed with veggies, topped with a wonderful sauce, and they give you a seasoned water dip. You dip 'em and eat 'em! It was so much food to try HIGHLY recommend!! I got a samosa, they're delicious especially the chutneys to dip them in! If you love some heat to try give these a go! For dessert I got the baklava, it was wonderful as the dessert is a safe choice, but if you want to elevate it also try the kataifi! It's got rose water, syrup, pistachio cream and cheese! It goes so well together it's the perfect thing to finish off your meal!

The owners are highly engaged in ensuring that you have an exceptional dining experience. From the fun room with all the superheroes to the outside to the main room with all the TVs it's just a unique dining experience, no matter where you sit. The food is top-notch we took on the mixed grill and had a delightful dining experience with humus and baba ghanoush that you could eat with a spoon. The chicken kebab were delicious. Had a nice texture to him very flavorful and not overly spicy perfect for children. Their french fries are absolutely worth getting no matter what the dining choice. They are fresh cut cooked perfectly and have an absolutely delicious taste and crispness. I would get them as an appetizer all by themselves. We are definitely gonna become regulars here as the price point is not too high has to be cost prohibitive, except on the most rare of occasions, yet the dining is white tablecloth with appropriate level of elegance. They're only being open a year, they have it dialed in right.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was shockingly bad…read more We were served burnt food -- not slightly overdone, but completely burnt. When the waitress asked if everything was okay, I told her directly that the food was burnt. She smiled, said nothing, and walked away. No apology, no acknowledgment, no attempt to fix anything. From that point on, she essentially abandoned our table. She never cleared our appetizer plates, never checked back, and we had to chase her down just to get the check. When we told her again that everything was burnt, she acted surprised and gave us a sarcastic pouty face, even though I had already told her earlier. She said she would "talk to the lady," and when I asked who that was, she said it was the manager. A few minutes later she returned and told us -- word for word -- that "the lady doesn't care, my manager doesn't care." I have never in my life had a restaurant openly admit they don't care about serving burnt food or about their customers' experience. To make matters worse, when I checked the receipt afterward, we had been overcharged by $30. Between the burnt meals, the dismissive attitude, the lack of service, the bizarre unprofessional behavior, and a manager who apparently "doesn't care," this was one of the worst dining experiences I've had in Houston. There are too many excellent Mediterranean restaurants in this city to waste time or money at a place that treats customers like this.

Even as yesterday was a holiday, they had some great specials and it was really nice to see a restaurant still provide this on a holiday. They had by any burger and get their regular cheeseburger for free. So we got two hamburgers and they were absolutely fantastic. The burgers were perfectly cooked and fresh and tasted amazing. Every burger is served on a brioche bun and it was perfect. They came with fresh french fries that were seasoned perfectly. Our server was super friendly and answered any question that we had and she was very attentive. She also offered us to go drinks and we really appreciated that. The restaurant was crowded, but you did not realize it because the service that you were provided was top-notch. I highly recommend this restaurant for anybody who wants a good meal at a great price. Their menu has also grown a little bit and the choices are unlimited. I am so glad that we chose to go to Texas borders yesterday and I will be back really soon. Great job Texas borders you guys absolutely know what you're doing.

The person dining with me had the Catfish and salad with her meal. The catfish honestly looked better. From Oklahoma , the filets look like Swai, Asian catfish, I used to work for US foods and had to learn the difference. If it is real catfish that was a big fish. It only matters if you'll care as it still looks good and there isnt a flavor difference. We had Chips & Salsa with Queso. $10 Chips & Salsa add $4 for Queso. I asked for Chips & Queso assuming the salsa came with it. Still waiting for the check to see if they charged me extra. All being said, it was good, but not sure it is a solid recommend. Its not cheap for a cheers style wooden Bar/Retaurant.

I haven't been to this spot in years. I forgot how good this place was!…read more Music is always popping here. I came in on a Friday night, and they had a live DJ playing. The music is a mix of EDM, Hip-hop, Rap, and R&B. They have tables and bar top seating. If you have a bigger group, I'm sure you can find a table depending on the time you arrive. There is a lot of seating. To start off, I ordered the Matcha Martini. It was STRONG omg, definitely a sipper, but it was so good. It was creamy and had a good matcha flavor. I love how they added matcha powder on top. For drinks, I also tried their espresso martini and Bubbly Pineapple. The espressos here are good, no complaints. The Bubbly Pineapple is so cute; it comes out with a bubble of smoke you can pop. The drink is very refreshing; it really tastes like pineapple. FYI, the drink has little black seeds, so if you don't like textures in your drink, maybe this one isn't for you. Also the drink came with a little frozen pineapple you can add to your drink once you pop the bubble As an appetizer, I got a dozen raw oysters and decided to add the $5 tobiko (fish eggs). Let me say, they were not stingy with the Tobiko, there was so much on my Oysters, I mean a lot! The oysters were good, and so was the tobiko, but I feel that with so much tobiko, it kind of took away from the oysters. Still good though, especially for $21 for the dozen with the tobiko! It was very filling I'm not gonna lie, I got pretty full with the oysters, but I still had to eat my entree As an entree, I ordered the Short Ribs, which came with rice and a side salad. I didn't think I was going to eat much of my entree since the oysters had filled me up, but I ate the short ribs down to the bone! Every single one of those ribs I devoured, no meat was left on my plate. I didn't have space to eat, but my stomach made space for this. 10/10 would recommend the short ribs, especially with the delicious sauce it came with. I think it's like a fish sauce 10/10 for food and drinks. Bonus: the staff here is really friendly. I really enjoyed my time here. I need to come more often for sure, this is definitely a Katy gem

Had no reservations anywhere on a Friday night but called GiAu Bar n Bites & they said come on in, we don't get our crowd till late night. It was fairly empty at 7:30p but by the time we left at 9:45p there were a few more ppl. Funny thing is, the age of most customers was 40-60s. The music is pumping loudly with no DJ but at 9p the DJ came in & took the music up another level! I think the older folks come out early & likely the younger people take over after 10 or 11p. ( I won't be able to confirm that theory cause I'll be home by then!) Food & services were good as usual. The bartenders do a great job check them out!
