The 7 Best Indian Restaurants In Houston

"Whether you grab dinner, check out the lunch buffet, or just get a couple orders of spicy chicken vindaloo to-go, Narin’s Bombay Brasserie offers dependable, consistent Indian food. While the restaurant resembles an old-school banquet hall at a hotel and seems to have a moratorium on playing any music, the food is what you’re here for. Narin’s makes choosing between its many dishes easy by giving you the option not to choose at all with the feast dinners. Try the tandoori feast with buttery, tomato bisque-style chicken tikka and micro-diced, tangy saag paneer or the Bombay feast with spiced, earthy lamb curry.  " - chelsea thomas, gianni greene

Love love love this place. It is always my go to Indian spot, and the food consistently hits. I came today because I saw the new renovation, and it did not disappoint. The new staff they hired are also a blast. My waiters name was Helen, and she was super helpful with all of my questions.

Exceptional all around! Each dish we ordered was perfectly balanced with layers of flavor. Loved each one! We learned from our waitress that they recently renovated, and I can say the atmosphere was very inviting… simple but wonderfully stylish. And the service was top notch - very friendly but refined at the same time. Overall a great experience and we’ll definitely come back.

This was amazing! We took a trip to Houston and googled best Indian restaurant and this place was top of the list. The food reminded us of home and the service was unbelievable. They were so courteous. Compliments to the chef (s) as this was amazing! Tandori Chicken, Yellow Dahl, Naan, and rice… we finished with the best dessert that melts in your mouth… it was fried dough balls, but this was like a pancake that soaked up all the syrup… it was heaven!

I recently visited Narin’s Bombay Brasserie after hearing about their renovations, and I’ve got to say — they did an amazing job. The space looks fresh, modern, and really welcoming now. It definitely adds to the overall vibe of the place. As for the food, it was honestly fantastic. The Vegetable Manchurian was one of the best I’ve had — crispy, flavorful, with just the right amount of sauce. I also tried the Achari Paneer, and it was incredible. The flavors were bold without being overpowering, and the paneer was super soft and fresh. Both dishes really stood out. Overall, between the great food and the updated atmosphere, this place is definitely worth checking out if you’re craving good Indian food.

If I could give more than five stars, I would! Narin’s Bombay Brasserie is hands down one of the best Indian restaurants in Houston. The Chicken Tikka Masala is absolutely incredible—rich, creamy, and full of flavor with just the right amount of spice. Every bite melts in your mouth. And the Lamb Seekh Kabob? To die for. Juicy, perfectly seasoned, and grilled to perfection. We also tried the garlic naan (fluffy and buttery), the saag paneer (smooth and flavorful), and the Amritsari fish, which had the perfect crisp. Everything was served hot and fresh. You can truly taste the quality and passion in every dish. On top of that, the service is top notch—friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The staff made sure we were taken care of from the moment we walked in. The newly renovated interior looks amazing, adding to the overall great vibe of the place. Whether you’re a long-time fan of Indian cuisine or trying it for the first time, this place will blow you away. Highly recommend!

The food is good, just wish there were some more options. Also, most places I've been for Indian buffet offer the samosas on the buffet. Here you have to order them separate. I really like that the food isn't super spicy. Lunch buffet is a great price as well.

I went for the lunch buffet and I was very impressed—the selection of vegetarian and meat dishes where amazing. My colleagues and clients (a mixed group of people) were raving about some of the vegetarian dishes, and I enjoyed the meat dishes and the dessert. The service is top-notch, and the atmosphere was stellar for a $20 lunch buffet. The food is primarily North Indian (tandoori, butter chicken, etc.). Mr Narain, the owner, stopped by a couple of times to see if we were doing ok. If you aren't the snobbiest Indian food aficionado, you will be fine. Take your wife, friends, or date for a weekday lunch, and you will leave happy.

The food was passable but lacked authentic Indian flavors, leaning more towards an Indo-Western style. The service and atmosphere were average. Not recommended for those seeking genuine Indian cuisine.

I've been going to Narin's for years. It's been a go-to for celebratory family dinners and has stayed consistent in quality and service. The inside is tastefully decorated, with a nice private dining area perfect for larger groups. The lunch buffet is still as good as the first time I tried it years ago. Stocked full of delicious vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, they truly have something for everyone. As a person who loves their goat curry, I was so impressed when, after informing them that the tray was nearly over, they immediately replaced it. Their to-go service is also very good. The saag paneer, chicken tikka masala, goat biryani and naan are just a few of the dishes that are both flavorful and well made. Whether at home or in person, we always enjoy the food!

i was very hopeful of this place, its very pretty clean and the staff is kind.. but the food doesn't have the robust flavors like other indian restaurants. still on the hunt for an alternative home indian spot.

This is my go to spot for Indian food. On this visit, however I came for a couple of reasons one was to buy a gift card for my boss to come and visit and you can't buy those online. You have to go in person cause they hand write them, which says something because it makes it more personal when the person comes to redeem because they remember who they wrote it for. I also came to try their lunch buffet, which had a lot of offers very fresh clean stuff was very friendly. Make sure our table stayed clean fresh forks, plates or drink state filled. I would definitely come back and always recommend this place to anybody.

While Narin's has been around for the better part of two decades, I can't help but wonder if their heydey has passed. My last few visits have been a little lackluster, marred by the subpar service and the skimpy fixings of their popular but ultimately disappointing lunch buffet. The kinks need to be ironed out, but the potential is still here. The first thing one will notice is their parking situation. It's a narrow lot, followed a tight and awkward backlot. Coming here during non-peak times might be best to get an ideal spot. The door looks like something out of a medieval decor leading into a place that screams old school brasserie vibes. Beyond the white tablecloths, well dressed wait staff, and bar, it can feel strangely feel little stale. Heat haters (#1) will appreciate their ultra cold AC temps. Like many places, the lunch buffet is a good starter for all the foods they offer. At $18, it's a solid lunch time but, despite not offering as many items as other places. I was surprised at how infrequently it was maintained: spillage around the buffet should be wiped immediately but the staff couldn't be bothered to oversee it. Food wise, there were hits and duds. On the plus side, the saag paneer was wonderfully creamy, naan was crispy and fluffy without being too oily. I thought the gobi manchurian was sweet in a good way and was pleasantly surprised with their tasty daal makhani. However, the basmati rice was incredibly dry, which is what happens when the sternos are on for too long. The same issue was happening with the vegetable pakoras and the tandoori chickens were very subpar. The tikka masala was lacking all around and the same goes for the navratan korma. Same issues are consistent during all of my visits. I really do hope they iron out these issues because I do think they can get past this and hopefully return to the reputation that I've always heard about. __________ (#1) Mmmm, ventilation. It's so cold, it's chilling down the food too.

The Butter Chicken with rice I ordered earlier for dinner was very delicious, mildly sweet and nicely aromatic with terrific blend of herbs n spices. The gravy had a great tomato base and the chicken pieces were all tender and meaty. The rice was very fresh, moist and good all on its own too. Great, efficient and welcoming service. This establishment is one of my favorite Indian restaurants. Great desserts here as well.

This place had been my goto for so long, but after my last several visits, I'm accepting this place has gone down. Buffet is pretty small and limited. They have solid staples like tandoori chicken, chicken tiki masala, and saag paneer, but there isn't much other variety or choices, so you really wouldn't want to come back too often. It's pretty cool they bring you fresh naan to your table, but now they only are willing to provide plain naan as complimentary. Service is pretty minimal and reasonably attentive, e.g. take your plate away, etc. Weekday buffet is $20pp, which I cant decide is cheap or expensive given how everything has gone up. All in all, its a decent option to try for Indian lunch buffet, especially if you are in the area, but if you are planning ahead I think there are better options around now.

Over charged on To-Go. Check my pics, all taken the same day. Watch out when you order via phone and what they charge you. We have been coming here for decades but have always dined in with their buffet. This is our first time getting takeaway, and probably last time visiting. After having issues paying for an order online, we ended up having to call and place our order. They charged me $11 more for my order vs what was online and what they published on their menu. I asked the manager about it, and after some hesitation, he "claimed" their prices just went up. If I wasn't in a hurry to get to a family gathering, I would have asked to see proof. Bummer, really liked the food here but not enough to want to get ripped off again.

Worst experience ever!!! There was no food in 3 of the serving trays I asked the server for the chicken and he said they would bring it out They did not when I asked the manager He had an attitude and then proceeded to tell me to leave the restaurant I would never return

Hmmm! I am Indian so I tend to be highly critical of Indian food. First, it's gorgeous inside! Dim romantic lighting, so this is perfect for a date night. The waitresses and waiter were all very nice and hospitable. There is one host? I'm not sure but he didn't seem to like his job much. We ordered the tandoori feast. Presentation was amazing, the tandoori came out sizzling. Now taste wise: everything was fresh, but the curries were lacking spice and flavor, and even the naan tasted plane. We also got a side of basically cut up cucumbers and tomatoes... I feel like at that point you should just sub it for raita? Especially if we're at an Indian restaurant. Overall the meal was good, but it tasted more like Mediterranean food than Indian. I do highly recommend the mango laasi, that was bomb.

This was our go-to Indian restaurant for years, at all of their many locations, fire and ownership The food on the lunch buffet was reheated and not fresh.

As soon as you walk in, the aroma hits you and you know you are in for an absolute treat! The restaurant offers the option of ordering a la carte off their menu or the choices from their buffet offerings. I have never been one to turn down a buffet so I always choose that option. At the front of the buffet, the first items to greet you are fresh veggies and two to three types of sauces. I tend to skip this section but others at my table gave it a try and quite enjoyed it. I like to load up my plate with rice and then top it with saag paneer, goat curry, butter chicken, yellow curry lentils, and this fried veggie concoction. Saag paneer: very creamy and flavorful. The cubes of cheese are bite sized and helps to break up the ultra creaminess. Goat curry: this sauce is a little thinner and the goat is so moist and tender. The meat practically falls off the bone. Butter chicken: amazing! I love butter chicken and this is one of my favorite versions. Chicken is moist, moist, moist! Lentils in yellow curry: this one was meh for me. Taste was good but I don't love the texture of lentils in general. Fried veggie balls: these appear to be sauteed veggies that have been dipped in batter and fried. Then they must be topped in some sort of sauce. Delicious on their own but dipping this in any of the sauces really elevates the flavors. Fresh naan is brought to the table and refilled as needed. Service is excellent. The staff is so nice and helpful. The only knock I have is I would like to see a few more options. If you're looking for a good indian buffet, this is the place to be.

I stopped by Narin's Bombay Brasserie for dinner on a week day. Located right off of the highway, depending on which direction you're coming from, you may miss the entrance to the parking lot. I did and had to circle around. Once I was seated, I was impressed at how large the menu is. Lots and lots of options to choose from. Since I'm all about variety, I went with the tandoori appetizer platter which comes with tandoori chicken, lamb, and shrimp. The lamb is ground lamb, which I didn't know ahead of time, and ended up being my least favorite of the trifecta. You don't often see shrimp at an Indian restaurant so this was a nice surprise. I also tried a bite of some saag paneer which was delicious. And naturally, I ordered some stuffed naan. No way you can go to an Indian restaurant without ordering some bread. The ambiance was nice and the service was standard. I'd return!

Bombay Brasserie has become a go-to spot for us, thanks to their outstanding vegetarian options. The texture and preparation of the paneer, their Indian cheese, are consistently excellent, and the recipes they use have clearly stood the test of time. We've relied on Bombay Brasserie for everything from wedding catering to date nights, buffet lunches, and even simple afterschool snacks. The food is always delicious with a consistent taste that keeps us coming back. I believe the managers and staff have been there for quite some time, and their warm, attentive service adds to the overall experience. While the classic North Indian dishes are always satisfying, it might be interesting to see one or two new items added to the menu each season. Bombay Brasserie remains a classic choice for North Indian cuisine, and we truly appreciate their focus on quality.

On doordash I ordered the chicken tikka masala which came with rice and the masala didn't taste all that good to me. It was not awful but it was lacking in flavor and authenticity. Also, normally when i've tried this dish it comes with white meat, but this place uses chicken thighs which I did not care for. I ordered supposedly garlic naan on doordash but this is what I received. The bread tasted fine, but where is the garlic? Overall I wouldn't recommend this place but if anyone has any great recommendations for me, please feel free to let me know!

Wow, I think this place deserves an overall rating of more than 3.5 stars. Their food is delicious, service is great, and price is fair for a week day lunch buffet! Weekday lunch buffet is great. Cost is about $17-18 dollars per person. Selection is limited to only about 8 entrees options, but that's more then enough for me because they still have my favorites such as Chicken Tikka Masala, Saag Paneer, Pakora, and (of course) Naan. The quality of their food was great. I thoroughly enjoyed the Chicken Tikka Masala and Saag Paneer the most. They were both full of flavor and tasted just like how I expected. If I had my stretchy sweat pants on, I probably could have eaten the entire tray. Service is really nice. We were checked on a few times to see that we were doing ok and our plates were cleared on a timely manner. Parking is very limited, even at 11:00am on a Friday. With that said though, I think there is another parking lot above the building because I saw a ramp that led upwards (not sure though). I would come back here for their lunch buffet any day!

I ordered from here through Uber eats. It was a bit delayed but hard to say on who's behalf. Nonetheless the food was sooo good! We shared a chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, and a chicken tikka. It was enough fir the two of us to fill up and have a little snack later. Prices are about what you'd expect for industry food (about $18/dish) and I would definitely dine again!

Decent value for the price I suppose. I ordered takeout from the buffet. I can't remember what all I got because it was about 4 different items (chicken tikka masala, a lamb dish, a vegetable dumpling, saffron rice). I also got some sort of rice pudding and naan which was packaged in the kitchen after handing a waitress my to-go container. My naan was charred in some places which wasn't a huge deal. The dishes were tasty but I've had better chicken tikka masala. I would come back but I would try other restaurants in the area who serve Indian cuisine first.

I honestly love this place. Went in with a big group of friends for dinner right at opening. The staff was so attentive and patient. Omgg this food is so good - one of the more authentic Indian food experiences in houston. I ordered a Mango Lassi and Chicken Tikka Masala. Both absolutely delicious. For those who can't handle too much spice - the chicken tikka was at a perfect (white person spice) level haha. Loved how the staff took great care of the guests and food came out SO quickly. Affordable prices and ample parking. Highly recommend for authentic Indian cuisine!

Great place to dine and entertain guests. Years ago this place was in Rice Village in the second floor of the main square. Quality and service has never dipped. Excellent food, service, and ambiance. Price is what you'd expect from a Galleria area Indian restaurant, but nowhere near what other cuisine in the same area will cost. Came here with my wife and we had a great time. I did order the chef's sampler appetizer as well, but ate it before we remembered to take pictures. Everything on the menu is good, you can not go wrong!

RUDE and UNPROFESSIONAL!!! I came here last night (Friday) at 9:15pm Walked in, was stared at by two men (one seemed to be the manager or owner) they didn't say anything until I said "hi" to that they looked at each-other and then me to say "kitchen is closed" (The sign on the door says 10pm) I said "ok np I'll just grab a drink then". Again both men looked at each other and one said "no not now you can't get anything now" I said "but your sign says 10pm, you should change your sign then" The one man responded "yea ok whatever". So unprofessional and rude. I am an industry worker also and just wanted a somewhat nicer place to decompress with a drink. He didn't need to be this rude and unprofessional. If you don't want to stay open until 10pm CHANGE YOUR SIGN!!!!

So so so good. My favorite Indian place in houston. The chicken dishes are tender and juicy. The goat is the best in town. The veggies are outstanding as well. Service is excellent and you always feel like you're welcome there. It's nice to go to a buffet with fresh linen tablecloths and responsive staff. I go every chance I get.

Great fine dining for Indian restaurant. Love the masala chai, it got a bit of a kick and you can actually taste the spices. I had the shrimp tandoori and it was cooked to perfection. My husband had the duck and it was delicious ( that was my second choice). The pad pad was fantastic. Ambiance and service was great. Price was very reasonable. Definitely coming back to try other dishes.

Incompetence and arrogance are dangerous traits for a caterer, Narin possesses both. While earning our business, Narin promised us the world. He was willing to put his decades worth of experience on the line to make our wedding events perfect. He promised food to our specified tastes, elaborate presentations, and more than enough food to go around. Narin's execution was the exact opposite. We were told our wedding events would be professionally managed. There was not a single English speaking employee working in a management capacity at any of our wedding events. It was complete chaos! Multiple dishes ran short for our baraat snack, cocktail hour, and reception. The food served at another one of our pre-wedding events was ice cold. Again no one was managing the event. The presentation was non-existent. The crazy part is we catered for more people than what showed up to our wedding (many last minute cancellations due to covid), despite this there were food shortages. When we provided Narin with feedback, his response was "I'm the best caterer, your guests ate too much food." Narin is a joke, he is a hack, a cheat, and incapable of empathy for your milestone event. Stay away from this business and man, he will ruin your event and not even be remorseful. I wish Yelp gave an option for negative stars, Narin's Bombay Brasserie is a disgrace to Indian food, culture, and quite frankly decency.

I was craving Indian food after shopping at the Galleria. We ate here for lunch and it was delicious! They have lunch buffet from 11-2:30, and had all of our favorite dishes like chicken masala and paneer etc. the kids loved the freshly baked naans, salad, chicken and rice pudding too. They are very reasonably priced for a restaurant so close to Galleria, we loved it! For dinner it's A La Carte, but lunch is always buffet, easy and convenient with lots of delicious and authentic Indian food to try!

My family and I dined here during our mini vacation to Houston. If i May say, their weekend lunch buffet is so damn good (excuse my language). By far the best Indian buffet meal I've ever experienced!! So why was this a great joint? They served the classic Indian buffet food like naan, butter chicken, samosas but they also offered things I've never tried like veg munchurian bonda in a light sweet and sour sauce. I ate so much that day, to a point my family were waiting for me to finish my meal so we can head home. Only criticism: the lamb curry was mostly bones, it was very hard to find meat in the dish. Overall, I am still salivating thinking about the finger-licking goodness I had at Narin's Bombay Brasserie. This will be my go-to Indian meal when I visit Houston again.

A couple of weeks ago me and a friend visited Narin's. It use to be a favorite of mine for lunch buffet, but they had stopped serving buffet for a while. I found out they were back to their usual s schedule. Their food is very tasty and they offer really good service. Foods I recommed: garlic naan ( so flavorful), Pakora, samosas ( they have veggie and lamb one's), Tandoori Chicken (so tender and flavorful), chicken tikka masala, lamb dishes (usually one on buffet of Rogan Josh, Lamb Korma, Keema Matter), Saag Paneer (homemade cheese in spinach), Daal Makhani (black lentils), Bombay Aloo ( potatoes in onion, tomato, and yogurt), Aloo Gobhi (cauliflower and potatoes with onions, tomatoes, and herbs). I just listed a few of their dishes...but they have a huge menu on buffet and off the buffet. I have been coming to this place for almost 6 years. Safety precautions for buffet: Patrons and restaurant staff are required to wear masks. Patrons can remove their mask once seated, however it must be kept on to go to the buffet line. You are also required to put on the provided gloves before touching any of the handles. They do provide hand sanitizer upon entry also.

We were shocked to see that an arbitrary 20% was added to our bill of $100 for 5 buffet lunches, as a "service charge". That's pretty steep for servers who brought bread and water to the table, and cleared away after the meal. We are usually generous tippers, and 5 of us went there on New Year's Day for the self serve lunch buffet. They couldn't serve us any alcoholic drinks that day- don't know why. The food choices were somewhat varied, but food was only fair. Most forgettable. Needless to say, we paid the bill; did NOT leave an additional tip and will never go there again. Short sighted for a quick dollar to lose a group who dines out regularly. There are far better Indian lunch buffets in Houston, with no surprise "20% buffet service charge" added, where we will dine in the future rather than at this sorry establishment.

Food, service and ambience are excellent. You won't regret going there. Their lunch buffet has a good selection of the most liked Indian dishes which are well seasoned. Their naan is delicious especially the garlic naan!

We ordered takeout (through UberEats) from Narin's Bombay Brasserie, and it was very good. Both the lamb rogan josh and chicken tikka masala offered tender meats with nice sauces. The naan is super fresh and soft, and each naan round is gigantic--a great complement to the main dishes. Also, tasty rice and papadam with sauces come with the meal, both of which were great--I especially liked the sweet plumb sauce that came with the papadam. We called and asked for curbside pickup, and they were super nice to accommodate us. Very good service too.

I tried the Vegetarian Thali and vegetable cutlets and every dish was a cut above ordinary Indian restaurants. The service is always top flight. They serve Flying Horse Royal Lager as well as mixed drinks from an ample bar. I took home a lot of food and it tasted even better the next day.

We ordered Tadoori Chicken and Chicken Tikka Masala to go today. Tandoori chicken was ok, but chicken Tikka Masala was too thick as if it was cooked too earlier before coming to us. Today their food was very disappointing and I don't think we are going to order again.

In a word: awful. The service is so far from good you can't even call it bad...it's non existent. The roof itself is okay, somewhat dated. The service was atrociously bad. My party was two people, we let the "server" know (first problem, everyone serves you and nobody introduced themselves as our server) that both of us are vegetarian. We ordered an appetizer (selection of samosas, pakoras etc). I asked when ordering how many pieces of everything come with it and was told two of everything. It comes out dropped off by another harried individual but had no dipping sauces and one samosa. I manage to call one gentleman down and he states it only comes with one. Okay, fine whatever, we can split it. The mains come out; we ordered the eggplant (baingan bhartha) and the saag paneer. They brought out the saag and other distinctly NOT eggplant dish. I let the harried gentleman know this isn't what I ordered and he exclaims "NOBODY TOLD YOU?" This doesn't sound good. He hurries off to fetch another individual. This guy says unfortunately they are out. It's fine, there are shortages I get it, but who the heck decides to send out another dish without at least checking with the guest‽ I was asked to take it multiple times and had to reiterate repeatedly I didn't want it. They offered to make something else - I asked if they could remake it all so both of us get to eat together and was met with a no. There was no contrition, there was no making it right, they came back near the end of our meal and brought out the second dish they made and offered it on the house but it was far too little and way too late (and plus, we had lost our appetite). The saag dish was not good. It wasn't well seasoned and lacked any taste. Bland is the best way to put it. This is thus far the absolute worst restaurant experience I've had in Houston. If you're reading this just move on. This isn't a restaurant worth wasting your money at. Food sucks, service is nonexistent and prices reflect the delusions of grandeur this proprietor has for his restaurant - perhaps at one point this place was good. If it had any glory days those have long passed.

I love Indian food. Love it. And I have eaten at Indian restaurants all over Houston (we are blessed with amazing restaurants here!) and Nairn's Bombay Brasserie is very highest on my list. I've been coming to Narin's for years and I can honestly say I have never, not once, been disappointed. I've been here for their amazing lunch buffet and for dinner. Whether it's just me or a large group of friends and family, I always leave very happy and very full. The food is delicious. The spices with the creamy sauces, and the cheese and the naan and the raita....I just ate but my mouth is watering. This place is a must have!! Stop by, savor the food and amazing smells, thank the very polite staff, and count your lucky stars that it is here in Houston!

We love the food and the crew at Bombay Brasserie and have been eating here since it opened -- and before in Rice Village. Our favorite items are the Navratan Korma, Saag Paneer, onion kulcha, tandoori chicken, mango lassi and the best kheer with crushed pistachios.
