    Bullet naan

    We were looking for restaurants open at 10pm and found this place. There were a lot of people at around 10pm which was surprising to me and a lot of Togo orders. We loved the butter chicken. it's flavorful and its different unlike the regular butter chicken. Schezwan chicken lollipop was not great and it was very mild on spice. In menu, it says lollipop but it was actually large drumsticks. The wait time was horrible. We had to wait 45 minutes for the food. The server didn't mention a thing and we had to keep asking when the food would arrive.

    Great indo-pak food. Highly impressed at the service, flavor amount and quality. And close to home with great hours!

    Cumin rice, fluffy, bright and fragrant
    Blake W.

    I was unexpectedly in the area and needed lunch, and I am glad I had the opportunity to try this place! Inside is clean and staff very friendly. I placed my order and waited under 10 minutes. I got the dal fry, butter naan and cumin rice. The fragrances are enticing, and food is flavorful and served HOT. Easily enough time for delivery or take out to get home and still piping hot. The dal borders on too oily, but fresh herbs brighten it and keep it from being too heavy. Definitely planning to go back and try other dishes.

    This is a small restaurant. There is some more parking spots in the back. Service was ok, but I find the veggie dishes a little bland. The chicken dishes were good, but it's not so good that I must go back soon. In any aspect, it was a decent lunch.

    Best Bombay style butter chicken!!! Food is great !! We ordered Indian Chinese food and butter chicken ! Soup was good but not the best (3/5). Triple Schewan (3/5) was all right too. However the show stopper was butter chicken . It was like eating in a restaurant in Bombay ! The only downside of this place is the ambience and oil! They use too much oil in their food and so I am giving them a 4.

    Garlic naan and beef nihari. Too much gravy not enough meat
    James K.

    I got the lunch special beef nihari $8.99 and added a garlic naan. I didn't think there was much flavor to the beef and there was maybe 3-4 actual pieces of meat in it. Those pieces were heavy in fat too. When I was done eating there was still half a bowl of gravy. Definitely need to serve decent portions . I might try something else on the menu if I ever come back. Plus side is they are open til late

Since we were set on Indian cuisine, we decided to stick it out, and it did not disappoint. The food was absolutely delicious and packed with flavor. The drinks were tasty, refreshing, and complemented the meal perfectly. The service was also some of the best I've experienced in quite a while, which made the long wait much easier to overlook. If you enjoy Indian food, I highly recommend Aga's Restaurant. Just be sure to avoid Saturday nights unless you're prepared for a very long wait!

    AMAZING!!! I have…read morebeen here a handful of times and finally convinced my husband and his family to try it for the first time. I joined the waitlist online before arriving because if you know Aga's, you know there's always a long line of people waiting outside! It took about 40 minutes for our group to be seated, but once we were sat down, the service was pretty quick and the staff was very nice. We started off with a pitcher of mango lassis for the table. It was delicious! It's basically like a really thick mango smoothie. It is pretty filling though, so I suggest taking it slow to save room for the main courses. I'd give it a 9/10 -- it would've been a 10/10 if it had been a little colder. The chicken lollipops are a MUST every time I go. The color is a little intimidating because you'd assume they're extremely spicy, but they really aren't. They're super flavorful on their own, but the side of chili sauce takes them to another level. 10/10. We tried the dynamite shrimp for the first time, and they were amazing. The shrimp were crispy, juicy, and full of flavor. 10/10. We accidentally ordered the wrong thing and ended up with the samosa chaat (not pictured). We were a little skeptical at first, but ended up pleasantly surprised. The combination of flavors complemented each other really well. 8/10. For the entrees, we ordered the chicken Peshawari karahi, chicken tikka masala, signature chops, and Aga's platter. Everything was great. For beginners, the chicken tikka masala is a great choice. It's a tomato-based curry with a little bit of spice. 10/10. The chicken Peshawari karahi was my first time trying it, and I loved the flavor of the curry. Something about it tasted very homey. I just wish they had a boneless version because it would definitely become my new go-to dish. 9.5/10. I didn't really get to try much of the grilled bbq entrees, but everyone else at the table really enjoyed them. 9.5/10. We paired everything with 1 large white rice and 4 garlic naans, which was enough for our table of 5. Overall, I love this place and will definitely be back! 10/10. Note: we did try the Fresh Paan outside, unfortunately it was not my cup of tea. But the floral notes left a really nice fresh feeling to my mouth lol.

Ok and now the burger story, and so many other good things to eat here for the palate. Although the inspiration for the Pac-Man character was the image of a pizza with a slice removed I would say the Pak-Man burger was the perfect Puck-(in a burger)-Man. The Pak sauce is for real and just the right taste to go with the seasoning. The brioche buns held tight together even with the dripping sauce and flavors coming out of this fantastic meal. I love Samosas too and the truck says it all. Next time I'll get some of the Nutella samosa and or kulfi ice cream if they have it. Glad I stopped in to try this truck out and the staff was supper friendly and efficient.

    There's a moment that happens in every desi person's life in Houston when you stop apologizing for…read moreour food and start evangelizing it. The biryani isn't "kind of like jambalaya," the kababs aren't "Pakistani street meat," and the chai isn't "spiced tea." It's just biryani, kabab, and chai, full stop, and if you're lucky enough to live in this city, you have access to two operators doing it at a level that demands attention: Chef Saadat and BBQ Tonite Katy. If you grew up watching ARY Zauq or Hum, you already know the man. Saadat Siddiqi is a MasterChef Pakistan judge, hosted travel-and-food programming across Pakistan's biggest networks, and built a global following while half the rest of us were still figuring out how much haldi goes into daal. Now he's based stateside, and Houston has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of that move. What separates Chef Saadat from your khala who "could open a restaurant if she wanted to" (every desi family has this woman, may God protect her) is that Saadat actually trained. Australia, formal kitchen work, years of broadcast cooking that demanded consistency. So when he runs a pop-up or a curated dinner in Houston, you taste the difference immediately. The masalas are layered instead of blunt. Proteins hit the right doneness without going leathery. The chaat isn't drowned in chutney; it's balanced. It's Pakistani food cooked with the kind of precision that French and Italian kitchens take for granted, and it's a revelation when you realize our cuisine has always deserved that treatment, just nobody was bothering. The man is also genuinely warm. Walk up to him at an event and he'll talk you through what he made, why he made it, and where the recipe came from. That's not nothing. Most celebrity chefs would rather you take a selfie and move along. Tucked into Park Row in Katy, BBQ Tonite has quietly become one of the most reliable Pakistani spots on the west side of greater Houston. The Katy location runs on the same DNA as the broader BBQ Tonite family; charcoal grilling, generous portions, halal across the board, weekend buffet ambitions, but it caters specifically to the Katy desi diaspora that has exploded in the last decade. You're as likely to hear Urdu and Punjabi at the next table as English, and that's the highest compliment I can pay a Pakistani restaurant in America. The mixed grill is the move. Bihari kabab with that papaya-tenderized melt, beef seekh that holds together without being a hockey puck, chicken boti with proper char and yogurt-marinade tenderness, and a tandoori chicken that's actually red because of masala and not food coloring (the cardinal sin of lesser kitchens). Pair it with garlic naan straight out of the tandoor and a side of green chutney, and you're operating at peak efficiency on a dollar-per-flavor basis. The karahi game is strong. The goat karahi has the proper tomato-and-ginger backbone, and they don't drown it the way Americanized desi spots do when they get scared of their own cuisine. Order it with a roghni naan if you're feeling indulgent. Houston's Pakistani food scene has always been good. With Chef Saadat doing his thing and BBQ Tonite holding it down in Katy, it's now genuinely great. Bring out-of-towners. Bring skeptics. Bring the colleague who only knows "tikka masala." Both of these will do the convincing for you.

    Amazing food and incredible service! Love the goat karahi and garlic naan. Chai is yummy. Beautiful…read moreambiance. Would highly recommend!
