    Had my first visit to Kati Roll Wala located inside of Lyric Hall. They offer a wide variety of Indian inspired wraps and protein bowls. All of the food we tasted were very well seasoned and the indian flavors were prominent. My two favorite items were the chicken Tikka kati rolll and the Peri Peri fries. They both had a nice spicy kick that wasn't over powering. The food came out quickly and our server was very pleasant and asked about any possible allergies which is always nice to see . The location inside of Lyric Hall was also fantastic. The atmosphere is very casual and there was plenty of seating available.

    Kati Roll Wala - paneer protein bowl
    Aruna K.

    Stopped at the Kati Roll Wala, a part of the food court in the Lyric Market in downtown opposite the Worthom theater. This place has westernized Indian street food including samosa chat. Took awhile to decide what I wanted to eat, finally settled for a Paneer protein bowl. It came with a base of basmati rice or lettuce for the ultra diet conscious. I chose rice, for protein it was paneer, with a dash of all vegetable options they had except onion. For drinks it was mango lassi. I was very hungry and was wondering how long it would take but the buzzer buzzed in about 5 min and the food was ready. It came hot and looked inviting enough. The presentation justified the taste, it was really good. So also the lassi, yum... Am glad it was open on a Sunday, or would have had to watch a 3 hour performance on an almost empty stomach and am not a sane person to be around when am hungry.... :) The girls that work there so very friendly and patient and explained about every dish we asked. They knew what they were doing because they used the authentic Indian name for the spice. The food court itself us maintained very clean. Overall, a great food experience, can't wait to go back to enjoy more items on the menu.

    Complimentary Indian Dessert

    Located in Lyric Market, this Indian restaurant offers various types of roti, an Indian flatbread and other dishes. They have samosas, bowls, and roti. I was able to order from my table and have it received at my table which was a great option, they also accept apple pay through the QR code ordering. I ordered the egg roti and chicken roti both spicy. And they were actually spicy! The roti was rolled outside of the egg and it was tasty. I really enjoyed it, it was my first time having roti. The chicken was also great, nicely seasoned, spicy, and had sliced onions and cilantro in the roll as well. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal, I could've just had one but got greedy. It is served with a tangy sauce, I wasn't too sure of what it was but it definitely compliments the roti. I also got a serving of a small round Indian dessert, it was like a fried dough ball soaked in a sugar syrup, it was a nice touch.

    Chicken Tikka Bowl
    Maya G.

    I stopped by Kati Roll Wala at Lyric Market before a theater performance, looking for something quick to eat. The Chicken Tikka Bowl was reasonably priced and prepared quickly, which was convenient. While I enjoyed the chaat-style seasonings, the dish itself wasn't particularly impressive. It was filling, but nothing out of the ordinary. It served its purpose as a quick bite, but the flavors were just okay.

    Chicken kati roll with egg
    Audrine M.

    I tried out Kati Roll Wala in Lyric Market. It's one of the many restaurants in the food court there. I had the chicken kati roll, and I got an egg added in the kati roll. Overall, it was ok but not something I would go to Kati Roll again for. The roll was a bit dry, the sauces they provided added flavor, but it wasn't enough.

    Cilantro Chicken Bowl
    Evelyn L.

    I've been to lyric food hall before and I wasnt super impressed. I figured I'd give it a second try since this is the closest dinning option from work. I ordered the cilantro chicken bowl and I thought it was pretty good. I thought the service was nice and friendly. The food came out fast and the bowl was big! I will def be ordering from this place again.

    Cilantro Chicken Roll & Masala Fries
    Josiah M.

    So this is my first time trying Indian cuisine! I wanted to be adventurous with my food this year because I grew up a chicken tender kid! So so very glad I chose this place because guys....it's two men with God-given ability to season the f*** out of some chicken. For an institution that had the square footage of a walk-in closet, the two men working that day were cooking up some HUGE flavors (I forgot to ask for their names, so whoever was working 10th of August, Mr./Mrs. Manager, shout them out!!!). Anyway, I got the Cilantro Chicken Roll with Masala Fries. The chicken was seasoned to perfection, it was cooked to perfection, everything was perfect man....a blend of spices I was trying to replicate when I got home that same day. The fries were crispy and I loved the seasonings on that item as well. This location is found inside Lyric Market, a food hall in downtown Houston. I loved the interior of the space as it was very light and inviting (in the area where I ate) and it had plenty of seating. I want to highlight their customer service as well; I remember coming to them about 5 minutes after my order was placed to ask for extra crispy fries and man they still delivered! I love it when these guys go above and beyond because I definitely would've been ok if it was too late and they had to say no. All I gotta say is, this spot is FOR SURE gonna be a regular go-to for me! So guys, if you're into cuisines that don't hold back on their spices like Hispanic and Asian foods, I'd take a crack at this spot! They are super friendly with some MEAN food ("mean" is meant to be seen as a compliment :D).

    Indian coffee and mango lassi
    Bargavi K.

    I've already been back here 3 times to get their paneer Kathi roll with the egg base, an Indian coffee and a mango lassi! The Kathi roll is basically like a wrap and the egg base is like a thin omelette layer in it. You can do vegetarian or non veg. If you ask them to make it spicy they can add chili powder to the wrap to give it a kick! The sauces that come with the Kathi rolls are sooo good with the paneer. Borderline addictive. The Indian coffee comes from a machine which isn't how it's traditionally made but it's somehow perfect. Add sugar as needed and it's so good. The mango lassi also has a perfect level of sweetness and tang. Fast and friendly service and I love that it's a quick walk from my downtown office. The space is in a food hall called Lyric Market and I would say it's definitely my top choice so far out of the restaurants Lyric offers. :) I may be a bit biased since I'm Indian and love Kathi rolls.

    The service is extremely slow, the roll was overloaded with the sauce and the chicken itself lacked any flavor.

Several different street food options or bowl options for an authentic experience. I didn't too much like the butter chicken burger as it was just a slab of dipped butter, chicken with tomato and a huge onion slice about half an inch thick but overall it was okay. Would not get again. It also came with French fries and these were extremely basic from a frozen bag. Very dull. Unfortunately I didn't realize the burger came with fries and I additionally ordered loaded tikka masala fries so instead of it being a replacement for the fries with a burger I just had two huge orders of fries. Seemed like something that the person taking the order could've mentioned before I ordered it. Also had the lamb baryani, tikka masala and garlic naan. This was amazing! Tasted so good. Deep in flavor and of course spices The naan was amazing And everything came out really hot! You can smell the flavors and the spices when you walked into the restaurant. We'll definitely be back to try different things on the menu

Honestly, every dish we've ever tried here has been fantastic--it hits exactly the right spots. The Flavor Profile: A quick heads-up for those seeking "authentic" traditional Chinese--this isn't it. This is the Indianized version of Chinese food (Indo-Chinese), so prepare for bold spices and a serious kick. If you grew up loving those specific flavors, Monk's is the gold standard. The Verdict: The heat is on point, the portions are great, and the flavors are nostalgic and bold. It's the kind of meal we look forward to all the way down I-10.

It's a small space with a register and seats to wait for your order or you can wait in your car. Food: 4/5 Chicken Tikka Masala it was creamy and velvety, I'm not a big fan of tomato but know is a core part of it, which I did distinguish the taste in this order that I haven't usually tasted in others. The garlic naan had good flavor however it was a bit tough and crunchy when biting into it. Which wasn't my favorite, but got the job done to dip into the sauce.

Kitchen Rumors has a $75/person tasting menu (very good value for ALL that you get below), and it includes what seems to be the restaurant's top items.

It had a sweet dressing but was also savory with the potato. -Lobster dumplings: Great, very flavorful, particularly the curry, which was nice and spicy. -Blue cheese chicken kebab: I was pleasantly surprised by this dish--while I probably wouldn't order it again, it wasn't too blue cheesy, which I liked. -Lamb chop: OK, this appetizer was not on the tasting menu, but it's a MUST ORDER too--very tender, perfectly cooked. -Branzino: I liked it, nicely prepared. -Goat biryani: If you like traditional goat biryani (I do!), this dish is perfect for you. -Sichuan eggplant: I like eggplant, but this item was just OK--we each tried one piece but didn't go back. To be fair, we were clearly getting very full by now... -Garlic naan: Delicious and classic! We had to order more. -Garbanzo beans curry: Another not on the tasting menu item, but I liked having the curry to dip the naan. -Dessert: Pana cotta and gulab jamun were the two desserts of the night. We were clearly very full by then and thought the desserts were both great but only managed a few bites before we rolled out of the restaurant.

We picked up our order about 3-4 minutes after getting the "ready" text and it was still before the estimated pickup time, but the food honestly wasn't that warm which is wild because everytime I pick up Indian food from any place even if I am a bit late it is piping hot or pretty hot. I don't think they even have a heat lamp or have the AC on too high. The smell of garlic when we walked in had me excited, but unfortunately the garlic naan ended up being the best part of the meal. We ordered medium spice since we were sharing with a younger family member who likes spice but doesn't want to sweat through dinner like we do. What we didn't expect was how sweet everything would be. The tikka masala tasted like sweet yogurt with a little garam masala for color. The chicken vindaloo was even more confusing. Vindaloo is usually tangy and vinegary, but this one was also sweet. It honestly tasted more like sweet tomato sauce than anything resembling a vindaloo. Nothing tasted bad in a spoiled sense, it was just very Americanized and very very sweet. The two stars are for three things: the clean location, the fast friendly service, and the garlic naan. If you have a very mild palate or prefer sweet food, you might enjoy this place. But if you're hoping for bold, tangy, flavorful Indian food, this probably won't be it.

The grounds of the temple is well manicured and neat with flowers. A big red sign read, "Govinda" was positioned so that I wouldn't miss it.

There was a strong lingering smell of pine-sol and Mr. Clean in the air. Of course, that indication told me that the restaurant was clean. The items on the buffet line was plenty, but limited. I got the rice, tofu curry, chaat marsala, and some vegetables. Everything except for the chaat was bland. It wasn't very easy to eat while the smell of cleaning supplies was in the air. It reminded me of sitting in a bucket of cleaning chemicals while eating a meal. The tofu curry tasted only like turmeric, but no salt or pepper or anything. The rice was super bland. The chaat marsala was very tasty and well seasoned. I finished off with desserts which both options were tasty.

I will say that there's a nice variety of salad, soup, and homemade feeling Indian dishes that everyone really liked. I particularly enjoyed the salad dressing (an avocado cream), the veggie lentil soup, and the spinach potato dish. Unfortunately, the special of the day or a dish near it (the soya Manchurian? Or the curry?) triggered some kind of inflammatory allergic reaction for me, so I had to stop eating. I did try some of the mango cake, which had a great soft and moist texture that I'd definitely have again. -1 star because of the allergic reaction but overall, everyone I went with really enjoyed the food and the service was welcoming and attentive for a buffet. The ambiance is great and it's a lovely setting all around.
