    Puran poli
    Annie G.

    Food was really good! The restaurant itself is small and it was quite warm/stuffy when we went on a Saturday night. They turned on the fans later on. Food wasn't hot, it was like luke warm. But it tasted good! Puran poli seems over priced for $5 but it was delicious! Hadn't had it in a while. Paneer paratha, vege Hakka noodles and the vege manchurian were all great.

    Food was excellent! I will be back soon. The paratha was crispy and chewy, a perfect pair to dip in the saag and chicken tikka. The goat biryani was delicious and comparable to Aga's in my opinion. I was pleasantly surprised based on the small size of this location. Highly recommend.

    Giving this 5-stars based on food and service. Atmosphere, while clean, had a distinctly down market feel. The restaurant is located in a strip center just west of the intersection of Westheimer and Westpark Drive, in the Briar Forest area west of BW 8. We were welcomed and seated promptly. This being our first foray into Maharashtrian cuisine (although having eaten the odd dish previously), we took our time ordering - Kokum Juice (tangy, slightly sweet, with Chaat masala, etc.), Kothimbir Vadi (Cilantro plus other spices mixed in dough, fritters) and Sabudana Vada (Sago fritters) for appetizers; Maratha Vegetables, Bombay Masala Noodles, dry Cauliflower Manchurian, and Pithala/Bhakri combo (a Gram Flour-based gravy/curry with Millet flat bread). Food arrived after a while as it appeared to have been made afresh. Tastes were fantastic, and quantities were ample. A great first holistic intro to Maharashtrian cuisine. Prices were reasonable, with the whole meal setting us back approx $70 for 5 persons, with taxes All in all, an excellent outing - plan to return.

    The food was amazing and the service was fast. The workers were also super friendly and explained the dish to me and my family.

    We went there during Father's Day weekend. We got there just before noon, and there was a 20-minute…read morewaiting time. To get in line, you scan a QR code and join a virtual queue. The crowd kept coming, and by the time we were done, the line appears to have grown to 1+ hour. Tip: Come early, especially on weekends! There was a sign saying that dining time is limited to 1 hour - completely understandable. Most of the clientele are South Asian - a good sign. The interior is clean and pleasant. The weekend buffet doesn't come cheap. We paid around $27 per person before tax or tips. But you get what you pay for - probably around 40 items, more than any other Indian buffet we have been to. This includes vegetarian items, meat dishes (chicken/lamb/fish), dessert, and drinks - including chai tea and rose milk. The quality is very good. We left absolutely stuffed.

    I visited Naga's with a group of friends for their unlimited buffet and left with mixed feelings…read more The buffet is priced at $25 per person for both the vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, with drinks charged separately. The spread includes a good variety of South Indian dishes, mainly Tamil and Telugu cuisine, with plenty of vegetarian and non-vegetarian curries, rice, dosas, and other traditional favorites. The food was definitely on the spicier side. While there was a decent selection, I found the overall taste to be fairly average. Nothing was particularly memorable, and I didn't feel it justified the price. The restaurant itself was clean, the ambience was pleasant, and the staff was courteous. The biggest downside for me was being handed the bill while we were still eating. At an unlimited buffet where you're paying a fixed price, it made the experience feel rushed and took away from the relaxed dining atmosphere. Overall, it's an okay spot if you're specifically looking for an unlimited South Indian buffet, but for $25 per person, I expected a more memorable meal and a better dining experience.

Parking can be a little tricky if you don't valet since the restaurant is located at the mall. We decided to test our luck and parked in the Purple Lot, which is free and only a short walk to the entrance. It worked out perfectly for us! As soon as you walk in, you can immediately tell that this is one of the most beautiful restaurants in the city. The décor is imported from India, and every detail feels intentional. The restaurant definitely has an elegant and luxurious vibe. Now, onto the food--it was also very good! We debated doing the tasting menu, but at nearly $200 per person, it felt a little too steep for us, so we decided to order à la carte instead. Our favorites were the Lychee Ceviche, Laal Maas, Chaanp, and Daal Musaafer. The flavors were on point, and every dish was rich, satisfying, and full of depth. The Malwani Fish Curry was also good, but it didn't impress us quite as much as the other dishes. For dessert, we tried their version of rasmalai. It was sweet but not overly sweet and was the perfect ending to the meal. They also surprised us with complimentary bubbles for our anniversary and a signed card, which was such a thoughtful touch. Overall, we had a pretty great experience at Musaafer. Justin, our server, was excellent throughout the meal. He explained the dishes and their backstories and even gave us a tour of the restaurant. The service really added to the experience. I would definitely come back. Musaafer is absolutely deserving of its Michelin star!

    I came with a fairly large group of coworkers on a Wednesday for lunch. We arrived around 11:15 and…read morestayed until roughly 12:30 or so and we were the only party in the restaurant the entire time. Granted a group of 12 people showed up unannounced right around opening time, the service was still a bit on the slower side. We waited about 30-35 minutes to receive our samosas and another 15 minutes to receive our Thali plates. All twelve of us ordered the same thing--the Regular Thali. The Thali is a platter that comes with 3 different curries or stews, 3 types of breads, rice, dessert, and a samosa. While I am not very knowledgeable about Indian cuisine and have no basis of comparison, the three curries and breads were delicious. Of the three curries, the paneer masala was my favorite and I enjoyed all three breads. The vegetable curry and lentil stew were both equally delicious and offered a change of pace from the paneer masala. The samosa was a bit of a miss for me due to the shell being a bit on the thick side, but the spices and tamarind chutney were good, but not outstanding. The benefit of ordering the Thali is that it is an affordable way to sample a very good variety of foods with the option or order more of whatever included curry, bread, samosa, rice, dessert completely free as a part of the Thali set. Would I go back? Yes, I would go back to have the Thali again but I'm unsure if I would be adventurous enough to order a full portion of a single curry or dish simply out of unfamiliarity with Indian cuisine. However, I would avoid Gayatri Bhavan if my boss isn't taking an extended lunch break with us.

Filter coffee was good, not too sweet. Service; the one man working (we came at an odd hour between lunch and dinner) was helpful and friendly. Our food came out on time. The restaurant itself was clean and well kept. Will return for the buffet one weekend.
