Yeah! Really good experience! Went with a group of friends on a Friday night. Believe me, we are a pain to wait on but they did a really good job. Friendly, helpful, prompt. The menu is a good combination of dishes that'll be fairly familiar for anyone who eats out Indian as well as things that were more novel, many of them Nepalese. As a group, we ordered a bunch of different items. Standout dishes included the steamed momo dumplings with chicken, the chili lamb jerky, and the creamy spinach with basa fish. I thought it was really cool that many of the sauces could be ordered with any of a list of proteins including egg. They also had a lot of interesting vegetarian entrées. We were pleasantly surprised to find that they had a little bar. Already picked out some foods to try for next time. read more

I found the buffet very underwhelming. The meats -chicken and goat- were very dry. The different sauces and dishes were lacking flavor. The service was cordial. The place is roomy, but very outdated. When we arrived, I was surprised the place was not packed, what with the generally good reviews. Now I understand why. read more

Really enjoy the buffet. It gives you a chance to enjoy a variety of foods. The owner and servers are very nice.

After an exhausting visit to NASA, i stumbled upon Himalayan Taj which is right on the corner of NASA road. The food was amazing and so was the hospitality. Every item i ordered was delicious. Especially i would recommend the barbecue MoMo and chicken lollipop. They were unbelievably good. Check it out guys!!! It wont let you down. read more

Great authentic Indian cuisine. Staff is very attentive and kind. Highly recommended!

Good buffet with some familiar favs like Chana masala, tandoori chicken, palak paneer, daal, but several other curries that are less common at your typical northern Indian restaurant. Enough food for vegetarians to enjoy, but the majority of curries contain meat. Spice level is customized for a mostly non-Indian clientele, but dishes are tasty. The atmosphere is basic and great for a working lunch or for meeting friends. Service is excellent-- always refilling drinks and unlimited Naan. Good for the price. read more

Extremely rude encounter when my wife tried to order on phone. Asked about # of samosa per order. Replied rudely "EVERYTHING is on Website!!!" Hangs up. Then HE calls back and states "YOU G**D**N WOMAN, EVERYTHING IS ON WEBSITE!!!!" WHAT THE HECK?????? If you cannot answer simple questions from your customers, close shop! Never will go there and will support small businesses who are happy to take my money read more

Our favorite hole in the wall gem. The buffet is always well stocked, servers replenished our naan often, and such friendly service. The cilantro chicken and palak paneer is top notch. read more

Best Indian restaurant in the Clear Lake/Friendswood area. We order for dinner and cater food for parties from here often. I am so glad this restaurant is here. The most authentic food in the area. The owner is a gentleman and takes great care of his customers. read more

Have ordered delivery from this restaurant several times and always been consistent. Good taste and pricing.

Mouthwatering scent when you walk in. *Multiple* free mini-appetizers, this bread as well as a salad. Those plus an ordered appetizer, two main dishes, a nut soup dessert, a nut cookie, and fennel seed refresher, all under $60. Best food I had in months for $30 a person. Insane! My favorite place to eat in Houston by far. read more

Great Indian buffet. Spice as needed! Sag paneer has almond flavor- great mix of smell and taste!

Don't let the facade fool you - the food is incredible and the staff very friendly. I had the Chicken Tikki Masala and my Husband had the Tandoori Momo. Both were delicious. Definitely coming back! read more

I am from Toronto Canada I came to Texas for the first time and tried this restaurant. The food is phenomenal.The wait was about 5 minutes depending what you order. The staff are really nice there the place is modern fashion but overall I really liked it! read more

This food was AWESOME. One of my new local Favorites! I went at lunch and the buffet was on point. I highly recommend

When you order a meal there, it comes as just the main dish so if it is a meal that you would normally have rice and bread with it or something else they charge you like five dollars for each side that would normally come with the meal that you ordered and they counted as all separate dishes then if you order tea they charge you for each small cup of tea they bring you when I go to a place that serves coffee or tea and I order tea I don't get charge for all the refills the food and The tea was delicious, but I don't want to go to a place that's going to nickel and dime me for every single thing when it should come as a meal or if you order tea you shouldn't have to pay for every extra cup of tea you drink it was Lipton tea I could tell from tasting it it wasn't some special exotic tea. Or at least they should tell you upfront when you order tea or any other drink it doesn't come with refills. read more

My wife and I ordered the 'King of Texas' plus two lamb samosas and a side of naan. Neither one of us was that hungry so we thought it would be a good meal to split and maybe have some left overs. She went 15 minutes one way to go get it. It was half cold by the time she got back and I wouldn't have cared if it was ice cold. We went from not being that hungry to polishing off the entire order. It was so good we can't wait to eat it again. I'm just upset it's 15 minutes away from us! read more

This is a terrific new Nepali/Indian spot right near Nasa. I got both vegan and non-vegan options. They are able to veganize a lot of their options with tofu, soy chick'n, which is unique for Houston area Indian restaurants. My family said the meat entrees were great, too. They have a lot of authentic Nepali cuisine, which is a nice addition to the Clear Lake area. Loved this spot and highly recommend it. read more

Great foods and awesome service! I love that after you get your foods from buffet table,they always give you a fresh naan bread.They have a pretty good selections of foods from tikka masala,briyani,chana masala,palak paneer and to the dessert (rice pudding) was the best.I ate there at least once or twice a month b/c the foods are affordable with great Indian-Nepali selections. read more

We decided to try this place on a whim and much to our surprise and delight the food was very very good. Super fresh tasty food, very nice people and overall good quality food at a good price. Will definitely go back soon. read more

Really a great buffet. Food is extremely fresh and so flavorful. Service is the best. Our group really enjoyed our meal

Fabulous food! Loved the variety and lunch buffet. Very tasty! Definitely a must try place.

Great food. Got the paneer tikka masala and the chicken makhani. Highly recommend this place if you're in the mood for some good Indian food. Food was ready on time and delicious. read more

What a gem of a Indian\Nepalian restaurant find. We tried the lunch buffet here, last Saturday afternoon. We found the buffet offerings to be absolutely delicious, with a very creative flare. The goat curry was amazing, and was the Saag Paneer. There were plenty of options, including a vegetable dish with cauliflower and broccoli in a wonderful, creamy sauce. This is a wonderful, little restaurant with a plethora of fresh Indian and Nepalian dishes which we will definitely try again, very soon. read more

Great new restaurant on NASA Road 1 that has excellent Indian & Nepalese food. We visited on a Saturday, they had a great little buffet set up, we really enjoyed the tandoori chicken, butter chicken, homemade naan, rice pudding & lots of other great dishes. Great customer service and COVID controls rounded out a great dining experience, we'll be back again soon! read more

Food was decent however when we asked the waiter to have our check cut in half as my friend gave them half the payment in cash, the waiter gave us the FULL bill instead and then just proceeded to keep half the whole bill for themselves. Won't ever be coming back here again read more

Stopped in for the lunch buffet, food was exceptional! The restaurant is clean, waitstaff is very pleasant and they are taking Covid precautions. read more

This place is AMAZING!!! My Husband and I were out in kemah and happened to see this place and decided to try it out for the first time. And let me tell you it did NOT disappoint. Everything was amazing. We got both lamb and potato samosas, phenomenal. He got the fish vindaloo and I got the shrimp madras. Both were amazing. This place will be another must-stop whenever we visit kemah read more

Best Indian food in Webster area. My family and I have been to all the Indian restaurants in Webster area over the years and this newly opened location is the best of the best. There is a large variety on the menu and even though the Rogan Josh was not listed, they made it for my father- so if it's not on the menu, ask and I'm sure the chef will accommodate. They also noticed we were there eating for my Birthday so they brought out a dessert plate and even lit a candle! Great staff, great owners, wonderful service. Large portions, great prices. Great Job Himalayan Taj! read more

I had lunch buffet at Himalayan Taj. Had plenty of choices for non-vegetarian. Also had good choices of vegetarian dishes. I would prefer to have vegetarian cooked with no cream. Only one mixed vegetable was did not have cream. Otherwise food and servide were excellent. read more

We have been missing our usual lunch Indian buffet that stopped due to covid and are super excited to have found this place right down the street! Excellent service and the food was delicious. They have covid measures in place with hand sanitizer and gloves for the buffet, full bar and plenty of tables. You will not be disappointed! read more

The food is delicious and the service good, but the building roof was leaking by the buffet so two stars lost for disrepair and possible food contamination. read more

An excellent Saturday buffet with a mango lassi. I started with a salad plate. The lettuce salad was very fresh. I liked the spiced cold potatoes and the slaw. Tzatziki is my favorite dressing. I tried a dab of mint dressing. It was hot. But the lassi cooled it off. On my entree plate, I put a pile of basmati rice in the middle of the plate and then put other things around it. I like the sag paneer, makhani dal and the sauce of the butter chicken. Also, the spiced cauliflower and the tandori chicken. With fresh hot naan brought to the table, it is truly a feast of flavors. Service was excellent. The only off-putting was the 11:30 am start when the web site said 11:00 am. read more

OMG!! I love my Indian food. Came to try the buffet here for lunch and it was amazing! If you loved the old "Cuisine of India" on NASA Rd 1, it's the same food, same chef, same deliciousness! Please stop in and give them a try. You won't be disappointed. All health standards are being followed -plastic gloves, spacious seating, etc. I'm SO EXCITED to know they are here. I began my love of Indian food at Cuisine of India in the IHOP Shopping Center over 25 years ago! Followed them across the street to their next restaurant. They are now back across the road on NASA RD 1 with a new name but the same wonderful authentic northern Indian and Nepalese food that I remember. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. My family and I came in after a long day at the NASA museum, just trying to get a meal to fulfill our hunger. We wanted to try Houston Indian food and that was near by so we gave it a go. Knowing that my brother is allergic to nuts and that there can be cashews in some dishes, we warned the server and asked numerous times to ensure that there would be no nuts in our food. However, my brother (with the nut allergy) said he was feeling funny so we called the server over and asked if there were any nuts in our dishes. They assured us that there were not so we continued with our meal. After finishing our meal, we left the restaurant and ended up at the ER immediately afterwards. My brother had an allergic reaction and wound up sitting in a hospital bed for an hour receiving IVs. We called the restaurant, and the owner admitted that there were indeed cashews in our food, and they did not warn us of it beforehand. I'm not sure about y'all, but that's straight up negligence to me. Had this not have happened, this review would've been much nicer. read more

Excellent place for family. Lots of vegan options too , and food was delicious as well as on point. read more

I was searching on here, and found a new Indian/Himalayan place nearby! Great! I tell my wife to meet me there. She arrives and calls me... it's in that place where we went before for a Rueben. Ugh! I didn't like that place. My gut was saying don't try this, probably won't be good. Boy was I glad I didn't listen to myself! Amazing place. They really freshened the inside up. Added a really cute outdoor spot with 2 tables. Painted and cleaned top to bottom, looks great! We were expecting to order from a menu, but at 2:30 on a Sunday they had a buffet up! Lots of amazing dishes with a Nepalese twist of common Indian staples. The place was very busy with what appeared to be mostly Indian/Nepalese diners. (Waitress was conversing in her native language. ). My wife says, I know this is going to be good based on the diners and she was so right. Owner brings fresh naan to the table. Great bar area with several draft beers. We had a chai latte, perfectly done. Many vegetarian options. My favorite dish was the cilantro spinach spicy chicken curry! Also they do a spicy cucumber salad! Price was $14.50 per person. 2 plates and i was stuffed. I like how they organize the menu. They really simplify it. This will become a regular spot for us. read more

Delicious Indian food! Sag paneer was just the way I like it. The lunch buffet was handled in a very cautious manner, all patrons were required to wear a fresh pair of disposable plastic gloves each trip up. Good selection of items and fresh naan was brought to our table. We'll be back. read more
