There are Indo-Pak buffets all around town, but somehow Mezban has managed to stick out with its…read moreunique setup, interesting interior, and not so stellar food. Located in the heart of the the Little India section of Houston (#1), it is semi-hidden in a cluster of desi businesses, neighboring a grocery store and adjacent to a sari shop. Despite all the lackluster experiences, I somehow find myself here one way or another every few months. The dining room feels smaller than what the exterior of the building would have one believe. They do have a larger private room in the back for big groups. The eclectic decor and layout of the buffet is different in comparison to similar spots. It has a cafeteria like feel, but there is really no place that looks like Mezban. On the food front, there is much left to be desired. The salad bar is a little on the sad side but it's made slightly worse when I'm fanning away our winged friends. The samosa chaat looks impressive but it still falls flat a bit. On occasion there are many sandwiches and pani puri, but even those have been disappointing. There hasn't been much relief with the hot foods but there are some areas where they do stand out. They do have a pretty outstanding weekend selection of proteins, whether it's tandoori chicken or seekh kebab. There is fish curry, chole, and korma based curries usually in the mix. I'm not feeling the haleem, which is a popular Pakistani dish; it was just too oily and unappetizing. Almost always they serve kheer or halwa for dessert. It might not seem weird in a dive, but in a restaurant it does seem strange to only serve foam cups for water. This is by no means a deal-breaker but it would go a long way for folks to be able to have slightly larger cups. I think for the price it's a fine choice for a casual lunch or an easy meal. The service could kick it up a notch, but most of the time, the only staff I interact with is whenever I'm paying in the end. __________ (#1) Mahatma Ghandi District aka Hillcroft

The special platter included bihari kababs which are a more pasty preparation. We probably would have preferred the grilled platter which includes boti. Overall the food was very good.

Very disappointing experience. We called to place an order after seeing the BOGO offers. The…read moreemployee told us the offers were incorrect and then claimed they were completely out of chicken biryani, butter chicken, beef haleem, and almost everything else, saying they only had dal tadka left. However, we called back from another phone a few minutes later, and a different employee immediately said they had the full menu available, including chicken biryani and the other dishes. This made it seem like we were intentionally being misled to avoid honoring the BOGO offer. If you don't want to offer a promotion, remove it from Google instead of giving customers conflicting information. Please be honest and consistent with your customers. It made the whole experience feel confusing and untrustworthy, so I ended up ordering elsewhere.

My mom and I splitted that and the bun kabob double Patties in half so we can try both. The 10 chicken sandwich was undercooked. It was raw. I immediately told the guy and he made me a brand new one and gave my mom and I a free mango lassi. The bun kabob was good, but not the best. After I brought the food home, the burger was cooked. But he gave me the thinnest chicken Patty compared to the ones they usually give (which is pretty big or atleast bigger than the chick fila chicken patty). So I'm a bit disappointed. One the positive side, my husband has never had Bismillah before, so he loved the sandwich and the 10 sauce they use. So we may or may both return. It's up for a debate.

My order was for the butter chicken for $15 and I added some garlic naan for another $3.50 along with some lemonade ($3). Both food items were delivered together about 10 minutes after ordering. The food was delicious. The butter chicken was made with tandoori chicken bathed in a slightly spicy and creamy butter and tomato sauce. The naan came with very 2 large slices and tasted as advertised. Garlic and butter always go together and this bread was well worth it. This meal tasted very good and satisfied my hunger. Table service was good here. I would order this meal again and be happy to return.

Our order included potato samosas (BOGO), the chicken 65 (BOGO), goat curry, palak paneer, and garlic naan. Samosas and the chicken 65 were both delicious; dip both in that mint sauce with the samosas to kick up the flavor. Be careful as the chicken 65 (mini fried chicken bites) have spiciness to it with a good amount of chili powder and pepper kicked in. The goat curry was alright, don't know if I would order it again as the grease was overwhelming. I wasn't a fan of the palak paneer, found it too runny and it was leaking when it was delivered to us. Also the garlic naan was a bit hard in the middle; maybe it's due to the packaging? Wouldn't mind ordering here again but we'll definitely do some different items. Hopefully the samosas and chicken 65 are still on the BOGO status cause we'll definitely take those again.

I did have some concerns with a few dishes but it was hard to tell if it was a lot of spice or sesame, which can also trigger a light reaction. I'd be a bit careful but overall, I had a good meal. Time-to-Food: ~12 minutes We came for early dinner around 4:30PM and it was not that busy, though it got busier later in the evening. The restaurant layout is a mix of booths and open tables, pretty suitable for large parties. I will preface by saying that I am not at all familiar with Indian cuisine. I rarely eat it because I grew up thinking that Indian food had a lot of nuts. Only partially true (kind of a gamble on things). I ordered the Royal South Indian Thali and a Masala Chai. First, everyone was served a spicy soup-like dish that was a great start to the meal. The Royal South Indian Thali was massive. I got some slightly different sides than my friend that ordered the same, perhaps because of the nut allergy. The curries/sambar were great with the rice and roti and the vegetables were delicious. I thought that the Halwa was my favorite dessert. The yogurt rice was more of an acquired taste (I was advised to mix it with the pickled spices, which I am not usually a fan of), as was the salted lassi. Others enjoyed them more than I did, but I was delighted to finish my meal with the masala chai. There is a small upcharge for paying with a credit card. Overall, pretty solid vegetarian cuisine and I'd definitely come back for some authentic food. One of my friends has been going here for over 10 years, so it definitely came recommended!
