Parmesan fries with jalapeño ranch goes so well together!
Q

My fav spot for Parmesan wings and crispy fries with great selection of sauces, my top choices are jalapeño ranch and diablo sauce. Staffs are very nice and friendly! Highly recommended !

Turban Burger
Justin T.

I've had Twisted Turban on my radar for quite some time, but never got around to trying it mainly because of how far it is from where I live. I finally got a chance to try it out with some friends on a Saturday for lunch, right when they opened. The restaurant shares a strip with a few other businesses and has parking right out front. Parking was easy when I arrived, but was pretty full when I was leaving. We were the first to arrive so the place was empty and it stayed that way until halfway through the meal when it picked up a steady stream of customers. The owner of the place was taking orders and service was great. From the name of the place, I am sure you can tell this is a fusion burger spot. The menu had quite a few interesting items for being a fast casual burger spot. For apps they had items like loaded tots and fries, nachos and samosa chaat. You can also get the chaat twisted with a little Texas flair. The fusion did not stop there. They had fusion burgers, pasta, salads, tacos and quesadillas just to name a few. My mind was on a burger and usually when checking out a burger spot for the first time, I go with a traditional cheeseburger just to get a proper introduction to the place. If they can't execute a regular burger, then why try the elevated stuff. The unique burgers looked so tempting so I went with the Turban Burger which was highly recommended by the owner and one of their popular sellers. This burger consisted of a grilled burger, topped with brisket, muenster cheese, mango slaw and turban sauce. He said if I like a little heat, this is the burger to get. The burgers came out in timely manner and looked amazing. The burger was large but messy. The first bite had sauce dripping all over the place but a tasty bite it was. I was immediately impressed with all the different flavors working in perfect harmony. I've never had muenster on a burger but it worked so well with it. The mango slaw was a game changer as well. It added a sweet heat that I did not know I needed in a burger. I don't know what turban sauce is, but it was delicious as well. The fries that came with it was a small serving, but it was perfectly fried and seasoned. They only have bottled drinks here which is not a preference of mine, but it did the job. They have a few dessert items but we did not partake. This place is pretty far from my side of town, but I can see myself driving out of the way to come check out more of their menu. I will be back!

Chicken Peri Loco taco- tender chicken - a lot of it too! peri peri sauce a bit spicy for me. On a soft flaky paratha!

What a unique bite ! Went in there for a quick snack- ended up eating an entire meal and then some to go I love that most things can be made vegetarian. Fries were well seasoned with Indian spices. But not too overwhelming. 6-8$ for a taco is a good deal- each taco comes on a hearty puff pastry paratha which in itself is a meal !. - cauliflower paneer tacos were amazing. Not too spicy with a tangy tamarind slaw on top. - pico chicken taco I swear had an entire grilled chicken breast in there. Topped with a very spicy sauce- if you can't handle heat I'd still ask for it on the side because you don't want to miss it! - Samosa chat was also very good. But it definitely needed crispy texture and additional freshness that this lacked as a chaat. It seems out of place on the menu , but i mean what do i know, i'm not a chef. I'd skip this the next time. Service was fast & friendly. MINUS 1 star in total for - 2 meals we both found very heavy on the spice and because they were out of many fun things on their menu ( some savory and essentially all of their specialty desserts- they did have some frozen packaged kulfi ) Anyway - what a gem. cant wait to return!

Art lovers :)

We came as a party today to Twisted Turban. Food was amazing! Service was excellent 10/10. We loved the vibe of the restaurant and the tater tots are a must! Would absolutely recommend for you and your friends, great spot to hang out and have some burgers.

Finally tried a mac and cheese chicken burger after wanting to try it for so long since its a perfect combo of my 2 favorite foods and it was definitely as tasty as I imagined it to be I also tried Twisted Turbans samosa chaat (which I got as a free appetizer from the app Fivestars) and even though ive had better samosa chaats, it was still very good! All their burgers also come with masala fries so thats a win win In my opinion the prices are a bit high compared to other desi fast food type restaurants but the quality and portions of the food here make up for it :)

Samosa Chaat
Syeda H.

Came here for the first time last night. The cashier was great at explaining the menu and helping us decide what to order. We decided to order the Samosa Chaat, the Peri Loco Taco and the Turban Burger. In terms of taste, this place was decent. Out of all the items we ordered the Turban Burger was the best. There were a few things with each dish that were not completed per their description. The samosa chaat was missing the pomegranate seeds and included mostly chickpeas in the dish. While the Turban Burger was good, the fries with them were cold when we received them. Lastly the Peri Loco Taco, the chicken was cooked well and juicy, but did not look like other pictures I've seen posted of the taco. The wrap was a little undercooked and was missing the cucumber and tomato (aside from the one piece ) topping. Overall the service was good, the interior is nice and clean, but the food kind of missed the mark.

Food's getting destroyed man this is amazing This was very high quality, great service. Overall ambiance is nice, music isn't blaring. Very nice place to come with a group of friends or family!

Turban Burger
Amy B.

This place definitely gets points for uniqueness. I ordered the turban burger that comes with brisket, their turban sauce, Cole slaw, and mangoes. The burger was tender, juicy and full of flavor. The turban sauce tasted a lot like Buffalo sauce and complimented the Cole slaw very well. The mangoes and brisket were a bit too absent in flavor/presence. You can tell they use frozen mangoes but a lot of the flavor was lost. The fries were a bit subpar, but I think the flavor of the burger made up for it. Fair warnings: They don't offer free water. They only have bottled water and other beverages you have to pay for. If you have a party of three or more, they charge you 10% gratuity even though they're not really someone waiting on you, which I thought didn't really make sense. Overall despite some of the nuances, I would definitely come and give this place another try.

Turban Taco and wrapchic taco
Noreen R.

I love the concept of Mexican south Asian fusion. Pretty genius if you ask me so I was super excited to get down with the food fusion. A few things to note, the actual space is not very big but has some cool graffiti art on one of the walls. The bathroom can definitely use some upgrading and general cleaning. Nothing I hate more than using a dirt bathroom and then having no soap to wash your hands... pretty gross They have canned and bottled drinks for purchase and no alcohol is sold in the establishment. I was very unimpressed with the street corn, I actually threw it away. Tasted like canned corn with some Mayo and some weak sriracha sauce . I also did not care for the samosa chaat, the mix of chutney with the potato gravy and chick peas with the samosa didn't work for me. Positive notes: I did like the tacos, loved the paratha. It was a nice change from the normal tortilla. The turban taco had great flavor with the braised beef and cabbage. The wrapchic is made with chicken tikka masala which had some great flavor.

This place is nothing but greatness - from the food to the service, everything was excellent!! My sister was hungry and wanted Whataburger. I was so against it. I stood my ground and drove to Twisted Turban once she scarfed down her burger up the street. (*side-eyeing her in the car*) Once inside, we were greeted by who I believe were the owners. What a warm welcome. After perusing the menu, I quickly decided what I wanted. I chose the wings. My mother, nephew and niece were also with us. My mother chose the Peri Peri wrap, and my nephew the Chicken Quesadilla. My sister couldn't stand that I chose a good place to eat so she ordered the Cajun Blackened Chicken Pasta that she shared with my niece. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food. The food was so good! Not only was the food excellent, the portion size was just right. Of course, we felt like it was a lot but we definitely weren't complaining. While we waited for our food, we spoke with the guy that took our order. He was so nice and he took time to answer questions that we had about some of the menu items. We will definitely be back to visit. There are so many other yummy choices on the menu that we want to try.

Twisted Turban is awesome. I love it. A great Tex Mex Indian food. I have dined here a few times and the food and service has been great every single time. This last was no different. The place was completely packed and there was no spot to sit. We still went ahead and ordered with the hopes of somebody getting up soon. We ordered the turban tacos, the shrimp tacos, the turban burger, and the single wat burger. Loved the turban tacos, shredded beef and sauce. The shrimp tacos were good too, but they could add more meat to it so that the meat to tortilla ratio evens out. The turban burger was good too and so was the single wat. They were flavorful with nice size patty and fixings. My only suggestion is for them to add mayo or butter to the buns as the buns feel dry without it. Also, they need to grill the bun and not serve them at room temperature. Other than that, all is good. I've had their Chaat also on a separate occasion, and that's pretty good too. A good recommendation for yelpers, who haven't tried it out yet.

Cool vibe

Wow! Best burger I've maybe had ever. Fresh meat, amazing flavor...off the charts. It's messy but those make the best burgers. The queso was top notch too! Perfect blend. Very friendly and very helpful too.

Wrap Chic Taco
Cynthia E.

Wrap Chic Taco is easily one of the best things I've ever eaten. Love the flaky paratha!! The tandoori chicken is perfectly seasoned. The sauces and the carrot slaw - a perfect blend of mellow spicy flavors. I love it!!

Turban Burger and Seasoned Fries. Fries were crispy and burger was yummy.

I had arrived at Hobby (from Oakland) at a little past 7 PM. My bag came out relatively quickly,…read morethe Avis bus was right there, and a short time later I was on the Gulf Freeway heading towards my ultimate destination of Westheimer and Highway 6. Further up in College Station, Highway 6 does indeed run both ways. I previously made mental plans to stop at a recommended place inside the Loop for Dinner and then make a leisurely drive up Westheimer from there. However, as I'm hard wired to want to get to my temporary Hotel Home first, a better option was to stop at Specs for some wine, get Cuban takeout at a place near the Holiday Inn, and then relax in the room. The Specs part went just fine, as a picked up a nice Galacian White and a Portuguese Rose for the long days ahead. However, the Cuban place was closed, and by the time I settled into the room, it was late, and all I wanted to do was to walk a short ways for takeout and relax. Logan's Roadhouse was the nearest place, but the menu wasn't all that interesting and I didn't want that much food. Most everything else was a little far on foot, except for this Micky D's. So......which wine do you think went the best with my snack wraps and fries? Trust me, I'll do much better with my dining options over the next few evenings. But that's how it sometimes kind of goes on long distance trips.....

A big key to their success has been staying open late every day of the week, till as late as 4AM on the weekends. They pride themselves on being among the best tacos in Houston (#1) and love to showcase their chilango pride. To find them, just look for the blue truck in the Route 66 gas station parking lot along Westheimer. It's easy to miss for first timers, especially since they're not the only taqueria on wheels in the vicinity. Usually there are folks huddled around the truck during lunch time but the crowd tends to dwindle after 11pm. The waits are minimal and the staff is bilingual and friendly. While the $1.50 tacos sound like a deal, they're actually the smaller, two bite taquito (#2) versions instead. I don't mind them, even though they can be had for a $1 just further down the road. Of course they serve more than just tacos, there are sincronizadas, gorditas, burritos, quesadillas, and even hamburgers. Their claim to fame are their tortas, but it should be noted that they also sell machetes as well. The fajita meat is tasty. They've got one of the better variations that I've had along this stretch in west Houston and I would say the same for their campechano. Chicharron is also solid, as is their tripe. Their chicken and barbacoa is decent, but a slight departure from the rest of their meat lineup. I am fairly certain it's cash only. There is no outdoor seating and most everyone is doing takeout.
