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.

If they had aloo chana chaat with yogurt this would be the only Indian restaurant I go to locally. We were originally going to go to Mare e Monte but the line was too long and we all were simultaneously craving Indian cuisine. This happened to be right next door. Ambiance is more like a family restaurant so definitely expect kids and multiple family affairs but the noise levels didn't take us away from how excellent the food was !! If it matters to you they do serve water with water bottles. I personally love a nice iced cup of water esp to help refresh my mouth from the spices. that would be my only ding and that's nitpicking. Service was very good to us!

It comes with two sauces, one is like a creamy yogurt and the other is very flavorful and spicy. The lamb and rice were seasoned well and cooked to perfection. Additionally, the meal was big enough to take home. Overall, I liked this place and I'm interested in trying more of the menu.

However the service was ok simply because I had to ask the server to clean the booth it had water and drinks spilled all over it. He cleaned my side and didn't clean the other side. 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. They were very apologetic and honestly didn't know how to make up for it It is always a fun experience going to this restaurant. Specially they have the cane sugar juicing machine. We ordered it and half of the restaurant was standing there watching them make it Also I tried a new style of biryani Gongura biryani it was delicious.

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.

It seems like along with the seasoned meat, there are red onions, herbs, and spices as well as a garlicky sauce. I will be back since I had such a pleasant experience eating this!

Each tray comes loaded with a variety of curries, rice, bread, and sides so you get to taste a little bit of everything instead of committing to just one dish. It's the perfect sampler and a great way to explore different flavors in one meal. I also love their samosa chaat. It's messy in the best way possible, with crispy samosas, chutneys, yogurt, and crunchy toppings that bring all the textures together. Super flavorful and satisfying. The setup is casual and easy: you order at the counter, grab a table, and they bring the food out. The restaurant itself is clean and relaxed. Great option for dine in or takeout.
