I have traveled to this restaurant plenty of times. I first encountered this place when they were…read morein their old location, when they were down the street from where they are now. First I feel I should explain that I live in the total opposite area and outside the city so this place is quite a long voyage. Nonetheless, I feel as if I have to say, I love this restaurant. This new building location is way better than the last. No more random pot holes everywhere and no more worry of your entire car getting stuck in the parking lot because you happen to drive over a hole that's somehow three feet wide. I am such a big fan of this place infact when they closed to relocate I got depressed knowing I couldn't have their food for the time being. Now for the actual review. Walking into this restaurant you wouldn't expect much from it. A small buffet stand and a normal seating arrangement. They sat me down quite hastily and the waitress came immediately to pour water for you to quench any thirst you may have had before entering. Before I got my food I took a sip of the water she just poured and instantly the veil of the tandoor palace was lifted and it revealed its true nature. This place is a sanctuary run by the divines, the waitress a goddess. The water was the most refreshing water man could ever have. I felt like I was drinking tears that a god had cried over its subjects that just so happen to also land in the fountain of youth and this waitress is the only inhabitant in the mortal realm that has access to the said fountain. and she blessed you with this holy water by pouring it inside a piece of the holy grail. After experiencing pure ecstasy from the divine hostess I finally walked up to the small buffet to grab the same thing I have always gotten. Rice, with their chicken tiki masala. Shaking from the previous experiences I've had with this divine food I could hardly hold my excitement. Sitting down to finally have a bite, I felt a calling from heaven and the need to pray to god for blessing me with a sanctuary and meal such as this. With the first bite I am instantly face to face with the vision of this chicken I have swirling in my mouth. I've never seen such a chicken. He tells me that even though he has died, he is happy to have ended up in the hands of a chef that personally cooks for the gods on his free time and that the chef treated him such care he didn't even notice himself pass over to the afterlife and to be added to such an exquisite dish such as this and that he is happy to have brought someone like me such a feeling of immense joy. Hearing this from the sacred chicken I begin to cry tears of happiness. Pulses of oxytocin, dopamine, endorphins, and serotonin surge through my body and with every bite I experience pure heaven. I can't explain to you enough how I feel about this food more than what I am typing right now at this very moment. Then finally the Naan shows up, maybe a little late but just in time for me to experience a new joy of just having the chicken tikimasala and rice alone. Placing my fork down, I grab the piping hot naan and notice the slight glisten of butter over the surface of the Naan like a bar of pure gold, with pieces of what seems to be garlic and maybe cilantro and parsley. I continue to use its garlic buttery goodness to scoop the food on my plate and proceed to shove it into my mouth. I full heartedly believe an old man would say, "My stomach is jealous of my mouth for being able to have its way with it first." Plate after plate you would want to devour even if you would taint this holy sanctuary with the sin of gluttony, maybe try to hide your sin under the napkin they provide to you like the French do for ortolan bunting. Slowly I became full and still had some food on my plate. One shouldn't waste food here or more like who would want to. You'd rather sit there for an extra couple minutes so your stomach could settle and let the food get cold because you'd still wish to eat it. At this restaurant if one should find a hair in their food (not saying you will or i did im exaggerating!) you'd take it as a blessing from the divine in the kitchen and still continue to eat it. (Around it of course.) Meat balls were also pretty good.

I would assume it tastes authentic, but this is from a place of ignorance as I've never been to India. So I'll say it tastes like it was made with love and experience. I forget what this bread is but I ate all of the soups and stews with it. We were a legend party so we ordered everything. Some things are very spicy and the mild things are spicy. Keep in consideration that I like African level spicy so our tolerance may differ. The staff is pretty hands off. When it's time to pay and go you bring the receipt to the front to pay and if you need something you just flag them down.

Even late at night they were enthusiastic to serve food. The last orders in the kitchen had the same quality food you get anytime during the day or morning. Outstanding. Freshly ground coconut chutney with tomato chutney. Sambhar was excellent. Dosa was crisp, steaming hot. I even took a Bhai Kadhai Biryani to go! This place is consistent with food quality. Not overly spicy if you tell them to keep it to mid low. 5.

Until my friend came and got gum stuck to her pants. I get it this is unusual and very disrespectful from the previous diners but still I think it is the waiter responsibility to clean the table and booth after each customer.

Every South Asian restaurant I've loved in my life has been a health inspector's nightmare…read more In Berkeley, I used to frequent Kabana, where the bathrooms were disgustingly filthy, and the only source of light was my phone. Best food ever. Here in SATX, for years, I've (begrudgingly) frequented Madurai Mes a few blocks away. You enter the lobby, and it feels like the staff is having a competition over who can ignore you. It's cramped and dingy, and there are AC hoses snaked throughout the place, and I've never been able to eat there for under $30, but they make a pretty good thali. And so in my brain, the best indian food comes from Resturants you don't much want to eat at. Nawabi was huge and well lit and dare I say clean? It felt slightly dated, and culturally a bit off - like maybe it belonged to an Ethiopian restaurant before - but classy. So the food was going to suck. The menu is expansive and seemingly interesting. It was missing my thali. It did have a number of dishes that offered a few things to try. I haven't, as an adult, longed for food served from a bucket - but Biriyani seems like a solid choice with which to fill one. My kid doesn't care for dosas, but does he like chocolate dosa? I don't know, but were fixin' to find out. Some of the weekend-only options had me salivating. I ordered the Plain dosa with mutton curry. This is a novel combination to me, and maybe also to my waiter, who had me point it out on the menu. It was good, the dosa was thin and crispy with the right amount of edges, the sambar was just ok, the chutneys were good, mutton curry was excellent. I skipped dessert, and opted for chai masala. But I should have really gone with some of their kulfi which looked super tempting in its display case. In short, everything was pretty awesome. I have my next visits penciled in to try the lunch buffet, peruse the weekend menu, and track down the AYCE pani puris. The only problem was that this time - on a Monday night - I was the only customer there, which was weird. But the staff was super welcoming, no Deliverance vibes, so I went with it. If y'all could do me a favor and eat here sometimes to keep this one open, that would be awesome.
