Brand new south Indian restaurant in Houston, the buffet spread was great and quality food. The spice levels were on point. Hospitality was very good and I will sure visit more.

We were a little skeptical about this place as we were the only ones in the restaurant on a Friday night.But the food was amazing. Very fresh and tasty. Rava onion masala dosa was yum. We also ordered baby corn appetizer, Andhra dosa( huge size), Puri channa. All of them turned out to be pretty good. Dessert drinks Falooda and Mango lassi were great too. Staff were very friendly and the service was quick. Overall a great experience.

Amazing little place! Quiet atmosphere and only a few people dining in on a Thursday afternoon. We went for the lunch buffet and everything we had was delicious. I would recommend to anyone looking for great Indian food at a great price. Will definitely be back.

Loved the dosa buffet! Lots of varieties and everything tasted authentic and perfect. We loved the balance of spices which satisfies our craving for a good home cooked meal. Excellent customer service and attention to detail. The food was served without much of wait time. This is a hidden gem yet to be found by many. Glad we tried it by chance and now it is a favorite go to place.

Great deal on the buffet for lunch with selections changing every day. Everything I've tried has been delicious and the wait staff are extremely friendly and attentive. Vegetarian and non-vegetarian options in buffet as well as on the extensive menu. Dosas are made-to-order and come with the buffet. Huge, crispy and amazing! So glad to have found this place since I never know what to order when going to Indian restaurants. Now I can try several different appetizers, biryanis and curries each time I go to Samy's...and end the meal with a great dessert too!

My wife and I came in for lunch on 10/29/19. Friendly staff. Lunch buffet had about 12 entrees with a balanced selection of veggie and chicken or goat. No plain basmati rice on the buffet. Ordered a dosa which went soggy half way through the meal. The meal was OK but not worth the price. The worst part is that both my wife and I ended up sick all night with food poisoning. Me worse than my wife who opted to eat mostly vegetarian options. Maybe this is why there was only one person there when we came in? We will NOT be back. Houston has so many great Indian restaurants that this one will not last long against much better and safer options! Just down Westheimer! Stay away for your health!

Got to eat their food in a birthday party and I totally loved their loved. Felt like I was back in India eating at a local restaurant. So freakin authentic. Loved their samosas, noodles, baby corn Manchuria, veg briyani and paneer curry. Few items were a little oily and soggy but the taste was at The best when compared to other restaurants at much expensive price !!! Super affordable price, would definitely recommend them for any event ! Definitely a must try for anyone and everyone craving for authentic Indian food. Amazing!!

Super yummy cuisine from South India! They switched owners and was called Taste of Chennai before. Great quality and selection of food to satisfy the veggie, seafood and meat lovers! Usually I only get served naan, but they also include dosa. This is a very cozy and clean place to have a meal, and also the server and management were friendly.

Went in for the lunch thali the other day and really enjoyed it! Had the Chicken Thali with a few additional items like samosa, naan, and iced tea which were all delicious! Will definitely be coming back to try the weekend buffet

So heard a lot about this place and we were really looking forward to try it out. As soon as we entered a pleasant looking gentleman greeted and who seated us promptly. There was some unpleasant odor around the restaurant. We ordered mutton biryani, vada, Dosa, parotta and pepper chicken. They almost took 45 mins to get the order. Firstly the mutton biryani was good in flavor but had hardly any pieces in it. The vada was not cooked properly and the dosa was average. The chutneys with the dosa seemed not to fresh. I would strongly suggest you to go to either sangam or kumars for some good food. Overall we were disappointed with the food and the service.

My husband and I wanted to try out the new Indian restaurant that came in where the previous new restaurant suddenly closed. We were a bit worried that there was only one person there at straight up noon. There was a small buffet with vegetarian and chicken and one goat option. I ordered a dosa. No plain basmati rice offered on the buffet. We both thought it was decent. The dosa went flat pretty quickly. So not the best IMHO. The worst part is that both my husband and I have been sick all night. My husband worse than me. He ate more of the chicken dishes than I did. It's not the spices. We are used to eating Indian food. Stay away from this place!!!!

The lunch buffet here is amazing both in variety and quality! Great price too. You will get so full just trying a little bit of everything... 3 types of biryani, lots of curries (paneer, goat, chicken, fish, etc), plenty of vegetarian options, several sauces and desserts... the naan was cooked so perfectly and the tandoori chicken is fresh (not dry like some places). The service is friendly and the restaurant is very nice and clean! Would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting a decent lunch buffet!

Horrible!! I tried two items twice : dhal tadka and navratan kurma. Both times it was totally different dish, totally ! Poor quality add very inconsistent in dish preparations . Not professionally run !!

Don't even bother going, they are just rude and unprofessionals. The food is ok and you will be waiting for long.

worst food i ever tasted ! also they have items on menu ( Naan) , they cant prepare - like the tandoor - but accepted order and delivered paratta ( upon calling , they mentioned they dont have the tandoor) ; very poor quality food ; Goat biryani had charred pieces ( very few pieces in the order ) of goat ; and their chicken curry dosa didnt look like anything on the menu - it had egg instead of chicken and was uncooked - i could taste the uncooked dough !! i enjoy all kinda of cuisine and am pretty forgiving about food - but this deserves a mention here - i dont want anyone else getting fooled by this place !!

The food quality and taste have gone down since the change of management, and you better be there at 11:30 if you want to get anything to eat. Once it is gone they take too long to replace it and if you are are on a lunch schedule you are out of luck

Excellent food, courteous and prompt service. I would highly recommend Dosakall for those who really appreciate a good dosa. We had the samosas and Manchurian chicken as appetizers......both very good. My wife had the masala dosa and I had the dosa with lamb curry.....as good as any we have had in the south in India. You won't be disappointed.
