Desi Adda@NRG

Loved coming here with my Indian friends after work! Great selection of healthy snacks and the Chai is just delicious! You feel great ambiance and sense of community here.

If you are looking for authentic Indian snacks, and foods at reasonable price, this is the right place for you. It feels like college canteen. Their snacks are too good, special addition would be the Deshi Chai. Chicken 65 biriyani is highly recommended. A small deshi corner at Houston.

I've visited this place a couple of times, and I’ve consistently enjoyed the food. My favourite always pulao’s Even though it was busy last night, I received my order in about 5 minutes. The staff were incredibly helpful, This level of communication is refreshing, as I've experienced delays at other places. The atmosphere is also enjoyable, making it a great spot to dine. Overall, a wonderful experience!

I am not interested in writing a review, but after trying this place 2-3 times and having a bad experience each time, I feel the need to share. The food was disappointing, especially the snacks. The Punugulu and Mysore Bonda were not hot and didn’t taste good. The chutney was also bad. I even tried the Uthappam, but it didn’t look like Uthappam at all—it was more like a dosa tossed with onions and was too hard to eat, just like the Bonda. The taste was very inconsistent; every time, it tasted different. The chef should at least taste the food before serving it to customers. I hope they improve the taste in the future.

Tried their breakfast buffet. Very tasty and worth the price. Must try breakfast buffet. Good customer service. 5/5 for taste and restaurant. 100% recommended.

Exceptional South Indian Experience! If you're craving authentic South Indian flavors, this place is a must-visit! The breakfast buffet is a feast with Dosa, idly, Poori, pongal, upma, and mini uthappam, all served with flavorful sambar. Don’t miss the crispy Mysore bonda or the soothing Irani chai. The biryani, both veg and non-veg, is flavorful and aromatic. Their custom cakes and pastries are also a treat! The customer service is equally impressive—cute, friendly, and attentive. Whether it's for a hearty meal or evening snacks, this restaurant never disappoints. Highly recommend for anyone looking to indulge in traditional South Indian cuisine!

Love the variety at this restaurant. This area was missing a really good Indian restaurant and this adda finally completes it. Their menu is huge!!! I enjoyed the fresh puffs and bajji items recently along with chai. The only problem is the entrance of this restaurant where students prefer to smoke and have their chai, which spoils the experience.

I've been a regular customer of this restaurant since its early days, when the food was consistently excellent. However, over time, the taste has noticeably deteriorated. What was once a flavorful experience has become increasingly bland. My today’s visit was particularly frustrating. I specifically ordered a 'raju gari kodi biryani' with less masala for takeout, but received the wrong order. Too tired to return, I tried to make the best of it, only to find the biryani was nothing more than overly spicy rice with tasteless chicken. It lacked any depth of flavor, and the chicken itself was subpar. This isn't a one-off issue; I've experienced multiple disappointments recently. I sincerely hope the restaurant addresses these quality control problems and returns to the standard they initially set.
