Tandoori Grill

I recommend this place!!! Good food!!! Not a very big place, keep that in mind!!! They have a buffet that serves a great variety of foods!!! If you never had Pakistanian food, I think you should give it a try!!! 5 stars well deserved!!!

This place deserve the recognition for their excellent and delicious food, 5 stars service and 5 stars ambience ! This was worth the drive and eventhough we came in 10 minutes before buffet hour is done she gave me papadom at no charge which i really appreciated .

This was my first time trying Indian food, and wow-Tandoori Grill did not disappoint! Everything on the buffet was packed with flavor, from the creamy curries to the perfectly spiced rice. The naan was fresh and warm, and the variety of dishes made it easy to try something new. The staff was friendly and the place had a great vibe. I'll definitely be coming back!

Flavor is great. Spice level tasted authentic. Butter nan was good though a little too crispy for me-I prefer more tender. Will be even better if butter chicken and tikka masala have more textures. Will be even better if the portion is served a little more. Nevetheless, great flavor, authentic taste, five stars. Akhi has been helpful. Thank you

Akhi took great care of us over our meal. The weeknight buffet was excellent. Good spice levels. All the meats were cooked perfectly and still tender. Fresh flaky naan. Definitely check this place out.

Everything was so good!! Akhi was our server and she did an excellent job, so attentive, kind, and sweet!! We will be coming back as the food was delicious!! We tried the butter chicken and the chicken tikka masala, and wow everything was exceptional!! Thank you to tandoori grill and Akhi!! I will recommend to everyone :)

Great small Indian restaurant with a variety of options.. I liked their services as they offered great customer services. The tables and place are clean and well organized with lovely decorations.. great Indian restaurant atmosphere.. The food was ok not up to the expectation but it is ok and a bit pricey..

Best Indian food in Houston “Katy” Today’s special is Kathiyawadi thali. OMG food was so tasty, homemade pickles and chutney too… Food, Service and Atmosphere is Excellent.

Super good Indian food, very fast to pick up n eat at home stayed extra warm and even for leftover it was very good.

I really wanted to like this place, I really did. I was so excited to come but was disappointed. I'm no stranger to Indian food but I'm also no expert. I've been to many Indian restaurants in the past but I've never been to an Indian restaurant that was so overly salted and overpowering. For starters, I came for the lunch buffet on a Sunday. There was no wait, but the restaurant was a bit more than half full. We were seated right away but as soon as we were seated, we were essentially moved because there was a couple already sitting there. The staff just didn't communicate that to each other. It happens, miscommunication is normal, but definitely didn't help my first impressions. The buffet did offer a variety of options which is great. However most things were really salty. Some options were decent on the first bite any bites after that were gross. The jeera aloo was inedible from the first bite. The goat curry was good the first bite but you get hit with the incredible saltiness, even with naan and rice. This was the theme with the majority of the curry's actually. The veggie patty was dry, stale, and inedible. The only good items were the naan, tandoori chicken, and the chicken tikka masala. The chickens were surprisingly not dry though, despite some of the other reviews. The items on the cold bar were room temperature too. I'm not sure if there wasn't ice on the bottom but it definitely wasn't cold. I'm sure food is 100% better if you order a la carte but yeah just not a great experience today.

We came in for a lunch buffet and like always, I was excited to try a new Indian restaurant. The buffet had quite a bit of food to choose from, I got a little bit of mostly everything. We ordered a mango lassi that was very good. The butter naan they brought to the table was flaky and crispy the way I love, however it had no salt and didn't have a taste. Most of the meat was dry and overcooked, the flavors were ok, but nothing great. None of us were fans of this place and won't be back.

We searched for an Indian restaurant and stumbled upon this hidden gem. Service was great loved their music choice and Amazing food. Definitely will be returning.

Ten second summary: -Not worth a destination trip, but if you are around the area, it's worth a try. -Butter chicken is below par, but the saag paneer and naan is fantastic. One of the best naan in the area. -Service from our waitress, Mahi, was spectacular. She was very polite and came by often to check on us. The saag paneer was flavorful and had a plentiful amount of paneer, but sadly, the butter chicken lacked flavor and was a bit watered down. In a way, it kind of balances the score. The naan was amazing. It comes out freshly made so it's hot, crispy, and lightly buttered. There is no wow factor to make this a destination Indian buffet, but if you are around the area, it's not a bad option.

I was pleasantly satisfied with the food and service at Tandoori Grill. Everything was delicious and flavorful. I have always been a little stingy about sharing my rice so I'm not a fan when establishments combine the rice serving, but they do not charge for extra rice which is such a relief because there is such a healthy serving of curry! Again, great portions, delicious food and great service. Would recommend

Amazing Food! Buffett is great, try what you want or don't. Very cleanThis place never disappoints and the service is great! I'm shocked it's not packed.

VEGETARIAN REVIEW: Like most Indian places, this restaurant has many vegetarian options. Yay! This is s cute little restaurant in Katy with some seriously delicious Indian food. I was here with my daughter a few weeks ago, and I intended to try the buffet, but we ended up ordering baingan bharta and malai kofta. Those are my two favorite dishes from Tandoori Grill, and since neither were on the buffet, we decided to order those and skip the buffet. Because my little girl was with me, I ordered mild. I think that works for someone who doesn't like spicy food, but I prefer their medium or hot. I ordered hot baingan bharta once, and it was great if you like spicy foods. Unfortunately, I was the only one in my group who was able to eat it. So - even if you like spicy foods, be aware that at this restaurant - hot means hot! Our server was very nice, and brought me some red sauce to spice things up. That was nice, but it didn't make much difference. Next time we go, I intend to try the buffet. Cute place. Nice people. Great food. Highly recommend!

GREAT food & service! The garlic onion & jalapeño naan was wonderful. The chicken masala & biryani had excellent favor. The fresh lemonade was refreshing. 10/10 recommend! Will definitely be going back.

The saag chicken was so full of flavor. Was really tasty. I got a medium heat which was perfect. The chicken was in big chunks, so I cut them up to make it go a little further. The rice was good, not over or under cooked. Naan bread was also good. Also got chicken masala which was also full of flavor. Definitely recommended place to go!

Oh shall I say great and considerate people from the top of my lungs!! The food was amazing I have the lamb briyani rice dinner and they put everything you needed in the bag down to the napkins nothing was missed. In the inside of the establishment was warm and everyone made me feel happy of course I tipped I wouldn't be me if I didn't.

Good lunch buffet from 11:30am-2:30pm. $14 on weekdays, $15 on weekends. Just note they're closed on Mondays. The buffet is on the smaller side so don't expect anything extensive, but there's just enough options to get a decent variety. They change up the buffet selection a bit so you're not getting the same items for every visit. My favorites were the chana masala, saag paneer, aloo methi (stir-fried potatoes), and lamb curry. All of these dishes were flavorful and perfectly seasoned. They had a mango mousse for dessert and it was so good. Naan is unlimited and brought fresh to your table. There's also a salad bar with different veggies (mostly cucumber, carrots, and onions) and sauces (raita, mint chutney, tamarind chutney). I loved their spicy onions (laccha pyaaz) because it's the spiciest item on the buffet. Everything else is catered to a Western palette, so nothing was spicy and leaned a bit sweet. I wish the food had more heat but I get that they have to appeal to a wider demographic and for families with kids. My main critique is the chicken in the buffet was so dry, especially in the chicken tikka masala and chicken biryani. Kind of a let down since those are such staples in an Indian restaurant, but the chicken was old and tasteless. It felt like it had been made several days ago. Usually, I would just chalk it up to an off day but the friends I went with have been a couple of times and said they've run into the same issue. That being said, I still think the buffet is worth it even without the chicken dishes. Most Indian restaurants will charge you $12-16 for just one entrée, and that's not including naan. As long as there's 1-2 dishes you like from the buffet, you're getting your money's worth. Tandoori Grill is located in a strip mall and the restaurant itself is small. We went on a weekend and it was half empty at its busiest so the space wasn't a concern for us. The inside is also really clean. Service was friendly and attentive; our main server was Simi but we were checked on multiple times by other people. There was always someone monitoring the buffet to make sure it was clean and that food wasn't running out. Overall, it's worth checking out if you want a variety of Indian food at a reasonable price. Good option for vegetarians since I preferred those entrées more anyways.

Service was awesome. Greeted immediately. Our waitress was nice and repeated our order and served us well. The food is phenomenal. We ordered chicken masala and lamb vendalu probably spelling that wrong. We had mango lassi which is a mago smoothie and it was perfect! The food was cooked perfectly. Tender and so juicy. 10 out of ten i recommend

Orders: Vegetarian Thali My mama doesn't ask for much, so in the rare moments that she requests a favor, I truly try to be all ears - she asked me to Yelp this restaurant because she & my Pop loved it so much!! The food was stunning (see attached glamour shot for proof). She reports that the Vegetarian Thali included 5 or so different dishes which were delicious and plenty to satiate my Father's massive appetite, which says a lot! Direct quote: "Ryan was our server & he was great" - Kerry I will be on the lookout for this gem of an establishment when life brings me out to Katy, TX!! Thank you guys!!

Located next to Katy halal and meat restaurant, which btw has a great Sunday only Buffet and probably one of the only restaurant in Houston to have a footlong Kabab roll!, Tandoori grill is a mixed buffet as far as the flavors go. Some of the items on the menu like the chicken tikka masala and eggplant potatoa (tad oily)shines way beyond expectations, on the other hand the Tandoori chicken though nicely spiced, is a little dry on the inside, so is the chicken biryani. They have a side counter for salads which includes pickled onions (Lachedar ), Don't see much of that in a lot of restaurants. The Naan is hot n fresh and that adds value to the buffet. At $15.75(lunch) ,the price seems right.

Seriously amazing food!!! I would even go as far as saying the best in Houston area. And they bring fresh naan to your table. Service is also great.

Although I ordered Take out food I can comment that the ambiance inside the restaurant was very pleasing. The food was very good although the lamb meat in the lamb tikka masala was not quite as good as I expected. All other food items were excellent.

Solid place for Indian food. I liked that you can customize the spice level for each dish that you order. The Aloo Gobi was super flavorful, although I wish they were more generous with the cauliflower. My friend and I both enjoyed the variety offered by the Chicken Thali.

Went there for a lunch buffet on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't crowded. I had my puppy with me and they graciously allowed him inside. I was so glad about it. The buffet has a lot of veg and non- veg options. Everything tasted good and the highlights were - aloo subzi, mixed veg pakora, fryums, munchow soup, gulab jamun and freshly served hot naans. I visited this place coming from Austin and it was definitely worth it. I will definitely visit again.

Ordered takeout via Yelp on a Thursday night - the restaurant wasn't busy but I still had to wait 30 minutes after ordering for my food. That was frustrating for sure - especially when it was expensive and not very large portions. The flavors were fabulous though - warning that medium spice is prettyyyy spicy still. The raita was great to cool down the medium tikka masala - which had a higher sauce to chicken ratio than I would have preferred but probably a 8/10 overall. We also tried veggie pakoras which were a 10/10, lamb biryani which was 8/10, and garlic naan - 9/10. It scratched the itch for Indian food, but I won't order takeout again due to price and the wait. I would like to try their lunch buffet though!

I was really craving Indian food but I did not want to go to masala wok so I stumbled upon this place and I'm glad I did. We ordered the tofu curry, butter masala, and another dish (forgot the name). Everything was delicious. I thought the butter masala was pretty spicy considering we did not request it to be spicy. Overall I would go back and recommend the place!

This was my first time trying Indian food, and I 100/10 recommend this place. I've always wanted to try and I wasn't disappointed. The service was great. Our waiter helped us pick food and recommend different items to us including the lunch buffet that offers all their different cuisines. He recommend that we get a spicy level medium since this was our first time, and it was not too spicy/hot. The vibe of the restaurant was calm with good music selection. It gave family owned vibes. It is a small place btw. The curry chicken was my favorite. It held so much flavor in the sauce and with the naan *chef's kiss*‍ it was the spiciest of all the dishes but it's worth it. The butter chicken was all our least favorite. It was still great but it was more sweet and savory compared to the curry chicken. It did work as a good palette cleanser when the curry chicken's heat started to build up. The goat biryani was also good. I only tried a piece of goat and a little rice and it wasn't bad. The goat was very flavorful compared to all the dishes and the rice had a hit of lime on top of the spices. It was ALOT of food... my friend finished it all but it's enough for a 3 people to share honestly. Though the curry chicken was my favorite, the garlic naan topped it all. Idk how to explain the flavor but it was some amazing bread. At one point I was eating it by itself with nothing else. Overall, this is a great place to go if you want to try Indian food for the first time or if your in the mood for it. It will definitely satisfy your hunger. Curry chicken: 8.7/10 Butter chicken: 7/10 Goat Biryani: 9.1/10 Naan: 9.6/10

I had such a craving for Indian food and I decided to stop by after rummaging through Ross dress for less at katy mills. I was STARVING and excited. The young man who serviced me was very friendly and welcoming. I tried their fresh lemonade that comes with mint and it was so refreshing. Their vegetable samosas were AMAZING. I also ordered their chicken tikka Masala on level 3 spice... ALSO AMAZING. If you have a craving for Indian food then you have to try this location because you can't go wrong. The flavors were bold and piercing in such a good way. Even when it came down to their lemonade. 100% recommend for take out or sit in. The service was awesome!

Since moving to the area more than four years ago, we've visited and ordered take-out from this place more than a couple times just to give them another chance. Sorry to say that it is definitely NOT in my Top-5 of places in the Houston area. Needless to say, I'm still in the hunt for an "indian food" place in the area for us because driving all the way to Sugarland for one of the best places in town is just not something to do normally when we have a craving.

Very very good stuff, i came to do some work and found them on yelp. I saw the reviews and had to try it. I had lamb curry, chicken fried rice, and two garlic nam breads. I will come back if im in the area. Waited about 15mins which is not bad considering they are cooking it. This is only my first time here as well!!! Good food fair prices for the amount had lots lots left over.

Sooooo good. Some of the best chicken tikka I've ever had in my life I highly recommend!!!

We tried the buffet and it was good but could be better. I suggest the a la cart more than the buffet. My hubby is Indian so he gave the thumbs down on this one. I say it's a la cart is better. Ambiance is nice and they have music and YouTube music videos of Indian songs playing.

First let say Mahi was our great waitress, she was very kind and helpful. I like spicy food but she gave me the exact number where it was not too spicy. Went in the afternoon not really crowd music video playing. There was a good selection of food on the menu. Now I have ventured in the area but never really saw those place. The butter chicken was nice and flavorful with the rice and dipping the naam bread just great! We had the regular naam and stuffed cheese naam ver good. We the chicken samosa, nice and crisp. The sauce the was paired with have a nice taste a little spicy for me. It was almost like a sweet and sour with a punch. I saw they have a buffet but not offered on the weekends, it looks a little small but I can see visiting for lunch. The fresh lemonade had mint in it and it was not to sour. The mango lassi was nice and creamy this one I wish was in the lemonade glass. They have been open for a while so hopefully if you are on the side a Katy definitely check them out.

I went back for Mother's Day and it was just as delicious! I ordered the saag paneer, the tandoori chicken, and the lamb curry. Everything was amazing! The lamb was so tender and the curry sauce was so good! The saag paneer was heavenly and the tandoori chicken was moist and perfectly seasoned! Can't wait to go back!

We came for the lunch buffet. It was pretty good. They brought out fresh, hot naan, so that was a nice touch. The food was pretty decent; not the most spectacular I have had, but certainly not the worst. I could see myself coming back here. Also, the service was top-notch. My favorite was probably the lentil soup. It was very well prepared and delicious!

Excellent food and service ! We highly recommend! The naan was fresh to order and we ordered extra to take home. we all ordered spicy level three that was perfect. Saag paneer was the best I've ever had.

Best Indian food in Katy. We've been here twice and the chicken tika masala, saag paneer, and other dishes were awesome. Very friendly staff also

Good food but limited choices. Service was ok - not great. Ambiance was good for an Indian food buffet.

Great food and service I always enjoy their lunchtime buffet It's not a large buffet but the selections they have are always good

Been going to this spot for the past 9 years and the food has always been AMAZING!! The place is older because they've been there for the longest time but it never smell like other old restaurant where the moment you walk in, it smells like degreaser mixed with fabuloso and grease. Service is always good and fast!!

My first time trying. The food was very good! Loved the atmosphere with friendly service.

I've been to this restaurant about 5 or 6 times now since 1st being introduced to Indian food (about a year ago) and every single time it's been delicious. The only complaint I have is I wish they'd have more of a variety of fruit on the buffet. They used to have more fruit to choose from when I first started going, now it's mostly watermelon. Their garlic Naan is so damn good... dip it in their tomato soup or the Chicken Tiki Masala....OMG. Mmmm!!

Food was very tasty and freshly made , and of course as a buffet not much meat to chose from . Mostly chicken . No fish much

Ordered the Saag Chicken, Chili Chicken, and Butter chicken with garlic and Basil naan to go. We really loved all of the chicken dishes (we got them all spicy), but the naan was small and pretty thin and not as flavorful as we were expecting. It was still good, but not what we were hoping for. Can't wait to order here again.

My wife and I have enjoyed Indian food for many years and always enjoy checking out a "new" restaurant, especially close by. I saw an ad for Tandoori Grille on Facebook recently and the reviews looked really good so we decided to try it. We were pleasantly surprised. Mahi was our server and was very conscientious about seeing that we had everything that we needed, she is a budding artist. This is a family owned business and the guy who seated us, his name is Joy, told me that his aunt is the cook. It's North India cuisine and Joy's auntie is an excellent cook. They have a traditional noon buffet on the weekends. Love the food!

Came in on Saturday night through the Groupon for dinner. We were served by Chhavi who gave us outstanding service. I asked if this restaurant was Tandoori Garden before, and she said yes, but due to new owner now it is Tandoori Grill. We ordered the spring rolls for appetizer, Malai Kofta, Vege Jalfrezi, Garlic naan and Paneer Kulcha. Everything was delicious, especially the Malai Kofta and Garlic naan, highly recommend. Latest upbeat Hindi music was also playing on the speaker.

I've been coming here since 2016, and the place has had several management changes, but the food has always been consistently good! It's in an unassuming strip center, but it's cleans and the food is SO good. We always come for the lunch buffet! The staff is friendly and always greets us as we are regulars and we always leave stuffed and happy! The buffet is about quality, not quantity. This is my son's FAVORITE restaurant...he wanted to come here to celebrate his 10th birthday! They were very accommodating even though we could not make a reservation. Definitely worth the try if you're in the area!

The thali wasn't great to be honest. It was good but it's comparable to every other Indian restaurant that I've been to that tries to cater to a western palate. My biggest thing is that there wasn't a ton of flavor. The curries and sides were on the plain side of things. The rice wasn't flavored with any cumin or anything. The onions were raw, no pickles. And that's a thing of ketchup on the bottom left. Not great. And they had egg rolls that unfortunately tasted like they were from Sysco. Not pictured is the Masala chai which was quite good. The service was good too which is why I gave 4 stars instead of 3. Hopefully they'll be able to improve once this pandemic stuff is over and done with.

I really am impressed how they innovated during COVID to still serve buffet as an option. My husband and I went on a weekday for a late lunch on my birthday. I've been craving for Indian food but I don't want to eat the same flavor for every bite so we found Tandoori Grill for variety of flavors. I am so grateful! The food was hot and delicious! I had a chance to try many different flavors and I was able to have unlimited re-orders on my favorite items. The naan and the veggie fritter was hot each time. I much preferred this over the traditional buffet where it's been sitting out for a while. Great customer service and attention to detail. Good ambiance as well and we liked the booths. The only thing I would recommend is having one or two extra options for the buffet just in case someone really doesn't like one or two of their set items. We will definitely be back.

My dad loves Indian food so our family came out to this place for the first time. We don't live nearby but it was worth the drive. On google it showed that they open at 11am so we got here around 11:15am. They had i believe around 12-14 dishes for the buffet not counting the desserts. When we got there maybe only 4 dishes were still being made because we were early. They said menu items can be ordered starting at 11am but the buffet is actually served at 11:30am. It is hard to name each and every dish that i enjoyed but i liked almost all the dishes they had at the buffet. Chicken Biriyani rice is great and Arloo dish was amazing. Assorted vegetables mixed with chickpeas and deep fried was everyone's favorite for sure. Guess what? Only $15 per person for the weekend lunch buffet. For that many dishes being served , I even think they can charge more on the weekend buffet. The server said they have less dishes for weekday lunch buffet and I am sure price will be slightly lower. If you guys live in Katy or even you are not from Katy but love to eat Northern Indian food, please check this place out and support them. I will come back and eat here again whenever I crave for Indian food. Two thumbs up from my family.

Great buffet, best value in houston,m. I will definitely be back for more. Lentil soup and tandoori chicken were the best

Excellent lunch buffet! Everything was flavorful and a good variety of vegetarian and chicken dishes. Loved the naan!

Bathroom: Didn't use Dining Area 5/5: It was very friendly and spacious. The booth was quite comfortable. The paintings and flower decor above the entrance were beautiful. The owners definitely put some thought into how they decorated this place. I've never been to India so I can't tell you if it's an authentic representation nonetheless, it was lovely. Customer Service 5/5: I went during lunchtime. When I first walked in there wasn't anyone at the host's table but I was attended to by someone quite quickly. They made sure to explain what dining options I have. Both of the male waiters were nice. Food/Drinks 5/5: The food was sooooooooo f**king good. I went two days in a row. I recommend everything on the buffet line. I've never had Indian food before so this definitely set the standard! The Mango Lassi was delicious! Price 5/5: The price isn't bad at all! I'm willing to pay for quality food. Vibe 5/5: The place had calm music. The tables had tablecloths. It's a mom-and-pop luxury vibe. Perfect place to bring a buddy or small group to enjoy some Indian Food. Overall 25/25: This place is definitely on the list for the next time I'm in the Energy Corridor.

Omg I was heaven when I came here! Everything here from the curry to the naan and rice were flavorful and hot. Service was wonderful. I definitely will be coming back!

This place is so amazing and it's extremely underrated. They have the best food with great customer service and it's very affordable!
