    Paneer Tikka, Garlic Naan, Kadai Paneer , Dal Makhani

    Very poor in taste 1/10 food, lots of chilli pushed into your dishes for no reason. Hygiene and other constraints as well, it is a food truck rather than a dhaba or a restaurant. Very bad experience over all.

    First food truck I've come across in Houston that sells Indian, but there were always a few people dining there whenever I drove by, so figured it was worth a shot. Ordered chicken tikka masala (spicy) with garlic naan, both freshly made when I ordered. Very tasty, and went well with the cold weather outside. Only complaint is that it is expensive for food served out of what looks like a converted U-haul truck. Probably won't go every week due to the price, but its worth coming back for a second trip.

    My friend (a fellow Elite Yelper) and I were in the area and she suggested we get some Indian food from this food truck. She kept ranting and raving about how good it was and all I could think was... INDIAN FOOD FROM A FOOD TRUCK?! Smh & Lol. Well, I'm glad I tried it. I ordered the tiki masala chicken and garlic naan bread. That was probably the BEST Indian food I have ever tasted in my life and yes it came from a food truck. This little truck is parked in a gas station lot and has tent covered seating for your finding pleasure. It rivals any restaurant. Promise! The ingredients are fresh and the food is DELICIOUS! If I lived closer I would probably eat here every single day!

    A food truck that don't move, like a bird in a cage. We were tied down at the mechanic shop next door, so choices were limited since walking is obviously out of the question without ac. The recognizable choices: Tandoori chicken is bland like a grey sparrow. Much more expensive than Popeyes a few hundred yards away. C+ Chicken ticks masala. Creamy, tasty, just enough spices and smoother than a rollsroyce. A Naan. Fluffy bread, just what Dr Atkins warned us about. 3 extra servings later, still A. Good spot to munch, weird atmosphere with lots of quiet drunken people. Spooky but enjoyable.

    Mix the fascination of food trucks and the wonder of Indian Food and you get Tandoori Nite. A little out of the way from central Houston, but well worth the drive out to their location. This truck sits next to a gas station and has several picnic style benches under a canopy. On cold nights they have outdoor heaters and a fire pit going to allow customers to still enjoy the outdoor seating. The men that man the truck are always friendly and offer great suggestions. Unlike most food trucks, you place your order, eat and then pay for your meal. Their prices are reasonable and the food is great tasting.

    I hate food trucks, I think they are a pretentious trend, but for some reason I was drawn to this place. Even still I really wanted to try this place out. Maybe because you don't really see that many food trucks in Alief and Indian ones at that, or maybe because I am just a fat ass... Some things going for this place is that it's really unique, it has a real working tandor in the truck, the menu is huge and diverse, and the family working there is really nice. Also the night I went there were lots of Indian families enjoying dinner...always a good sign. Even with all these positives though, the food just wasn't that great in my opinion. I ordered chicken vindaloo and told them not to take it easy on me. I love this spicy dish and this one just didn't bring it. It was pretty mild and had a very citrusy note which I'm not used to, plus there were only a few pieces of chicken in the order. Also I was thinking that since it was a food truck it would be pretty cheap, but the price is only slightly less than average, and you get less food than if you were to go to a real restaurant. I really want to like this place and maybe I just had a bad dish. I'm going to try this place a few more times with a few more dishes before I dismiss this place as just another trendy food truck...

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.

    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.

The restaurant itself was clean and well kept. Will return for the buffet one weekend.

I found out later that Thursdays are apparently when they have the Chinese buffet? The fried rice and chow mein were just okay to me but I did like the mixed vegetable dish and the egg drop soup. The chai was good and I also enjoyed the rice pudding for dessert. If you like Chinese-Indian food, the Thursday buffet might be worth a try. I came in not knowing about it so I was a bit disappointed since I was expecting more Indian/South Asian food. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was casual and lively. It seems like the Thursday Chinese buffet is really popular because it was packed when I came. If you're trying to go for dinner it might be good to call ahead. If I'm in the area I might stop by to see what they offer for the lunch buffet.
