I checked out Nirmanz after a recommendation from a colleague at work, who insisted I had to try their chaat and fusion dishes. As someone who's always on the lookout for good Indian street food, I couldn't resist. I stopped by to satisfy my chaat cravings, and I left genuinely impressed. The Bollywood-themed décor adds so much character to the place, and the cute taxi booth is perfect for snapping a fun picture while you wait. The service was quick, and everyone on the staff was friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. While the prices are a little on the higher side, the beautifully designed interiors, lively atmosphere, and overall vibe make it feel worthwhile. It's one of those places where you're paying for both the food and the experience. Between the fun ambiance and delicious food, Nirmanz is definitely worth a visit if you're craving Indian street food with a modern twist. ng more from their menu. read more

Here today! My FIRST time eating Indian vegetarian food and I can't deny it was scrumptious! Indian spices adds such a taste to the palate that almost made me get up and shake my hips while clanging the bells with my fingers. My goodness, it didn't bother me that I wasn't eating meat because it was all in the spices that kept my attention. I let my friend do all the ordering and truly appreciated eating like their culture and just put everything on the table. I learned a lot about Indian culture while dining with her and appreciated the sharing between friends. I couldn't remember what she stated each dish was but took plenty of pictures for my next visit. All I will do is say, I want what's in this picture. Here today. There tomorrow! read more

Old restaurant. Quality went fully downhill. Avoid this place. Even chairs are broken and not comfortable.

We love this place so much. It has Indian street food, Punjabi food, south Indian food and Indo Chinese food, which means that we can just come to one place and everything is there. Their food is phenomenal as well. My kid loves the hakka noodles mild. The paneer burji and gobi Manchurian is the BEST. HIGHLY RECOMMEND as well as the dahi puri. Only thing is South Indian food is okay We will be back again for sure!!! read more

I would give this place 3.5, but bumping up to 4 since food was absolutely delicious but there's areas needing improvement for sure We got paneer tikka masala which was so delicious, probably my favorite stew/broth I've ever tried in terms of tikka masala and that includes Aga's and others!!! Love how it was sweet, hearty, flavorful, and a hint of hot. Such a rich flavor and cheese was cooked well. Only complaint is they didn't give us that much paneer... it was a lot of vegetables instead. Also we asked for medium and it was hardly spicy The pani puri was absolutely scrumptious- you have mild/mellow water, sweet heat sauce, and earthy and zesty from the potatoes. It's a dish I would recommend to anyone. The naan was good but don't think the rosemary was added in the most harmonious way too mix with the naan The vibe inside was so cute, modern, and artsy. The service was very ok- the server seemed pretty impartial to us Water was interesting, we started off with splitting a whole 8 oz water bottle between two people. Thankfully refills were free but that was odd read more

This place is a food heaven. I have been to this place multiple times and have tried almost all their items on the menu. Loved each and every item more than the other especially chole bhature, dahi puri and raj chowri. Ambience is cozy and service is fast. Overall a great place to treat your taste buds. Kudos to the team for meeting and exceeding the expectations. read more

Overall, we had a good experience. The restaurant decor is punchy, vivid, and beautifully painted. There is so much to look at while you're waiting for your food, which took a remarkably short time considering the Friday night crowd. Service was quick and pleasant. However, the servers seemed stressed--I hope it was just a busy night and the restaurant is normally staffed well. The best item we ordered, by far, was the Shaam Savera--spinach kofta stuffed with paneer. It was so soft and perfectly seasoned, and went so well with the naan. We'd never tried this curry before, and we will certainly be back for it. The rest of the food was well prepared but not to our taste. Paneer Biriyani was bland and seemed rushed, Dahi Vada was tasty but the vada itself was hard and bland, Gobi Manchurian was crispy but too sweet. Food was good, but for the price of $75 for four dishes, I wish the other dishes were as tasty as the first. :) read more

I'm shocked at how people are not blasting this spot all over social media. I had seen it posted once or twice and thought I'd try it out with a few cousins. This place is a bollywood themed, family owned Indian restaurant. The head chef and dad, Nirman actually designed all of the bollywood posters on the wall with the help of a graphic designer. We all ogled at how clever each of them were. The chaat and snack foods, drinks are very much worth it. The chaats you really cannot go wrong with at all. The presentation is absolutely out of control and the concept of "eating with my eyes" really shined here. I had actually never tried Kalkatta soda and I was shocked at how tasty it was. A brand in India, combined with a custom masala mixture. The butter paneer was amazing although could've used a little bit more paneer in it. The only thing that could be improved IMO is the rice. It was a little hard. read more

Such a neat concept - tonnes of Bollywood poster as motif and eventhe front part of a rickshaw (South Asia's tuk tuk) with customised license plate! I love Indian street food, espcially chaat and this place has pretty nice dishes for when I want a sit-down experience that a little eclectic! I recommend the chaat platter if you want to try a little bit of everything; it's got sweet and savory flavours, mixed with the creaminess of the yoghurt, and the crunchiness of all the toppings. I think this is a fun spot to get food from. Parking isn't a problem since it's in a strip mall of sorts with plenty of parking spots. read more

Not sure if the paneer (cheese) should be totally tasteless, but it was. I miss the chicken and the rice that used to come with the entree. The garlic naan fortunately did not change and was deliciou. The medium spice sauce was missing that "tang". Not sure why or when menu changed but i am bummed. Service was great! read more

Really pleasant experience. Reasonably priced, but a bit small in portion size, except the breads because the Naan and dosa were generous. The bread basket was ok. I would definitely a stick just to the garlic Naan in the future. The pav bhaji and butter chicken were both great tasting and thick. The chicken biryani had good taste, but the rice was a little old and stale tasting. The samosa chaat wasn't the flavor I was hoping for and the samosas were kinda small for the price. The Bombay sizzler had really good flavor at the bottom. But the large cubes of paneer were not that great. Overall, this is somewhere I'd def come to eat again, but maybe be a little picky about what to order. Great service all around and the food came so quick. read more

I do not recommend this restaurant unless you have money to waste. They are simply a "looter", they overcharge for every single item including simple salad like small lemon pieces with onions slices (salad-- just slices of onion & couple of small pieces of lemon $3), usually no Indian restaurant charge for such salad items. Even they overcharge for very small bowl of plain rice $4 in the price of masala rice or pulav rice. Interesting is that their taste is not extraordinary with respect to the price you pay for their shabji and other menus of their recipe. Their shak or sabji price is ~$3 to $5 more than Suvarna Bhavan or Biryani Pot or other good restaurant in the area. The service is not excellent choice, better to go to Hilcroft area for more Indian restaurant with better price and great menus. I would not waste your money to go to this restaurant. This is really one of the bad choice. read more

Whenever I order Indian food, I usually get to eat it all by myself. No one else ever wants naan. Okay not really. We love Indian food at my household so we've been trying different restaurants all around town to find the best of the best. Hashing seen the rave reviews at Nirmanz, we decided to give this place a try. We ordered the butter chicken, saag paneer and masala dosa. The butter chicken and saag paneer were pretty standard dishes. Both were packed with flavor, creamy and filling. The butter chicken had plenty of chicken and the saag paneer had plenty of paneer. The masala dosa had spiced potatoes with two dipping sauces and sambal. Since we did take out, the dosa wasn't crispy like it would be if we dined in. The serving sizes were very fair for the price! This served 3 of us with a little bit leftover (for some miraculous reason, Indian food tastes even better the next day). Nirmanz definitely served us a good meal, but it was nothing exceptional. It did feed the craving of Indian cuisine, and I would recommend trying it out for yourself! read more

June 2021. This restaurant has an amazing desi style decor which immediately catches your attention. The wall arts, paintings and the walls and spaces in between are creatively designed, and I must give credit where credit is due for the effort. Let's talk about food. This department also didn't disappoint. I came here with family and we almost ordered one dish from every section, almost. Let's talk about the things that we ordered and then I'll go from there: gobi manchurian, amritsari kulcha cholay, maysore masala dosa, chicken chetinad with garlic naan, baingan bharta, dahi puri, chikoo shake sitafal shake and sugarcane mojito (salivating just by thinking about these) The kulcha cholay was amazing, chicken chetinad was decent, gobi manchurian was a hit, dahi puri and baingan bharta were delicious. The chikoo shake tried to be the best imposter of the original, fresh shake that's available in India. The maysore dosa was a big miss though. Long story short, the food is absolutely above average and it won't burn a hole in your pocket. read more

Incredible variety of dishes, far more than your typical North Indian fare - South Indian, and street food dishes as well. Amazing.

I was scrolling through grub hub, looking for dinner, when I came across Nirmanz. I was pleasantly surprised that they had a 25% off promo for first orders. I had this restaurant on my radar for a couple of months, so I had to give it a try. I got butter chicken and lamb korma. As soon as I received my order, I could smell the nice aromas. But, when I reached in and pulled out my order, I instantly felt UTTERLY DISRESPECTED. Two small Wendy's chili sized cups of curry and two small rice cups. The rice was fine, but we're talking an $18 curry, and a $16 curry. Like, ain't no way they were serious!!! I actually had a leftover AGA's curry takeout container in my fridge, washed it and dumped my Nirmanz butter chicken in the container to compare. It barely filled half way. The butter chicken was okay, as was the korma. The few little morsels of lamb were tended. Honestly, though, it wasn't ANYTHING extraordinary. My main complaint is the small amount and price for just okay food. At first, I thought maybe they gave me such small portions because I used a PROMO code. But, looking through reviews, others have complaints about the portions. It was an overall disappointment. read more

Omg! I'm a sucker for Chaat, and I have to say this place has taken the top spot and has become a quick favorite!! The Raj Kachori is divine, and Chaat platter is a great option if you can't make your mind and want to try a little bit of everything!! The sweet and savory flavors were on point, the rich and creaminess of the yogurt and the crunchiness of all the toppings creates a beautiful melody of textures!! The Chikoo shake was nostalgic. I highly recommend this spot. I can't wait to go back and try other entrees items. The interiors are impressive and it make you feel like you're sitting in a cafe in Mumbai and not a restaurant in Houston! read more

I was very disappointed with my Nirmanz experience and this picture depicts how excited I was to eat this food that looked and smelled wayyy better than it tasted !⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ What's weird is they have AMAZING reviews online and I've tried their catered food (in store) 2 years ago following an event and it was good. Idk if the recipes or chef changed, but everything tasted like they took meat and dropped it into the masala without flavoring first and definitely not adding enough spices or salt ‍. The only thing I'd recommend is the Gobi Manchurian as everything else we got was not good. read more

This is one of the place I was planning to visit, when I come to houston. Totally disappointed that the food and quality of it. Ambiance was good - 4/5. It was nice and clean. Presentation was good for food as well. Service - 4/5 the girl in the front was ok. She suggested dabeli or vada pav or chole batura to be one of there popular items. My friend got Paneer Kathi Roll- 2/5 the paneer was hard and felt like we were eating a frozen paratha. Sitafal shake - 2.5/5 it was ok not that great. It could have been much better Veg Frankie - 2/5 same thing they had frozen paratha with chips (Lays Classic) I wish they made there own chips instead of serving a packet one which is available to us. There is no point in paying and eating a food product which is available for us at a lesser price outside. I would suggest you to stop serving these and do your own product. Hot Ragada Dahi Puri - 2.5/5 it was ok but not that great. Should have been better. Dabeli - 2/5 it was ok and not that great. Sugarcane juice mojito - -ve2/5. It's a negative 2 rating. It's a disgrace to a sugarcane juice. You don't even know sugarcane in it and not even tasty. Totally disappointed with the food as it was not upto the expectations. When you have nice ambiance you need to improve the quality of the food and need to stop serving frankies and kathi roll with frozen parathas and lays classic. Can do better guys. read more

Visited last night super excited to see pani puri in the menu, I been waiting to try it for a while and was not disappointed. I want to make a few point about mine and my boyfriend experiences since there we completely different. First the waiter that sat us was borderline rude but the lady that ended up becoming our waiter was expectational, she explain us what the item on the menu were and I want to clarify that i was eating the pani puri properly since it was my first time. She was super nice all my embarrassment of not knowing went away. My other comment would be I would love an option where I can have an open tab to keep ordering drinks when needed. Maybe there is one since it was our first time we didn't really asked. I'm do want to visit a again during the day to also take advantage of there set up, is super colorful great for pictures As for food Pani Puri 10/10 great flavor, excellent presentation very fun Panner Tikka Masala 8/10 I love panner in my opinion there was very little panner compare to the vegetable, only wish it had more. As for the rice needed more salt or seasoning without the masala is was quite bland to it by itself. Moong Dal Halwa 10/10 Mango Lassi 10/10 Masala Lemon Soda 4/10 This is probably the biggest issue we had, this was my boyfriend drink, he said the drink itself was good the issue was the glass, the glass itself smelled bad like wet cloth? if that makes sense he said he couldn't really taste it but every time he brought the cup close to he's face he was greeted by that awful smell. tiktok video @onlymagical read more

So thankful that my friend brought me here to experience some trendy and highly authentic Indian food! The menu had a lot of items I didn't recognize but were followed by descriptions that were easy to understand and all sounded so delicious! My friend ordered the pani puri, which are basically mini tostadas of potatoes, onions, and some yellow crunchy strings. This had a little bit of a kick, but were so yummy - strangely reminded me of ceviche idk since it's just potato. She also ordered the samosa pav, which were 2 mini sliders with samosas in the middle of the buns! So yummy and even came with a little wire basket of potato chips. She said this was "street food" and let me order a more traditional item since I don't get to eat Indian cusine at home like she does. I knew I wanted a coconut milk based curry since it's my absolute favorite. I had heard of madras curry before and the description was very similar to that of the chetinad, so I decided on the latter to try something new. The only difference was that the chetinad curry had "South Indian sauce" - pretty vague but this was some of the yummiest curry I ever had! With the quantity of curry and the added lamb/goat and the side of rice, I had plenty to take home! The cashier suggested that I get the medium-level of spice, but it was very very mild to me, and I have a pretty low tolerance for spicy foods. read more

I saw some pictures of this restaurant and was intrigued by the interior setting. Seemed like a cool place to visit and eat so I finally went with my bros. Wanted to try some desi street food. The food was nice and warm, came quick as well. Didn't have any hygiene issues like the ones mentioned in other reviews about this place, so thank god for that. This place has potential to be 5 stars if it wasn't for the ridiculously high prices. I can understand if your charging more for like the main course stuff but 7 paani puri for $7??? The small mango lassi container was. I thought maybe I'm in sugar land so these prices are expected but clearly I'm not the only one based off other reviews. read more

Recently, we went here to order takeout and to our surprise, they have gone vegetarian. No chicken tikka masala or buttered chicken; aligning themselves to their other restaurant in Richmond. We instead ordered the paneer version of the dishes (or equivalent). This is disappointing as we enjoyed having the option to choose in the past. The food was good, but we felt underwhelmed. As a matter of convenience, I think we prefer the Richmond location more due to its proximity to our home and that the ambiance is more bright and lively. read more
