India's Restaurant — Restaurant in Houston

Where do I begin? I just went here recently and the experience of dining here is getting worse, at least for the desis.

1. I really think they are racially biased. They do excellent service to the non desis or those who look rich by their clothes, expecting to get big tips from them. I don't care if they wanna do excellent service to the westerners just to get high tips but at least they gotta do their basic duty as a waiter for everyone, otherwise it's called bad service and a bad employee and they should get written up or fired for that. I have also heard the same thing from my friends that went to this restaurant how they ignore the Indians and serve excellently to the westerners, and some of my Indian friends are big tippers. But thank God they didn't tip them or didn't tip good for this awful service.
2. Bad bad service- We ordered naan, and they gave us like small pieces of naan while I noticed the non desis naan were quite big and soft. Okay I can let that one go. Next thing I noticed, the tables that were behind and next to our table were all non desis- the waiters refilled their drinks and asked them if they needed naan whenever it was getting almost empty but just ignored our table completely. We tried hard to call the waiter to serve us but they never made eye contact with us. Finally we got their attention and asked them to refill our drinks and naan tray. Naan took too long to get to us and this time they brought us very tiny stiff naans. I am not even joking. I really wish I could have taken a picture. Maybe next time I will keep that in my mind if I go there. Tiny meaning like tater tots size. I laughed sarcastically and asked my friend, what is this and my friend got so furious and said what kind a stupid service is this?
3. My friend was still eating and the waiter took his plate without even asking if my friend was done or not.

Only good thing I can say is- few items tasted good but rest was bland and nothing new or exciting. The place is clean.

I have dined here in the couple of times in the past and they were biased those times too but I ignored it until now.I thought they would change their stupid attitude by this time. I used to recommend both my desi and Western friends to dine here but not anymore. This time they really pissed us off and heck ya they don't get any tips for their stupid...

Disgusting experience- rip-off: On January 04, 2015 I have called for the food quote for 30 people gathering for Birthday party out of which food for 5 people to go. I was very much specific about the food items we were needed and the manager got that item written down, he put me on brief hold and quote me the total cost of $450for total of 30 people with 25 people dining in restaurant and order for 5 people to go, he said that this will include the tax and tip since it is a large order, Then the person name “Satish” came on phone he said if you order anything extra that will be extra charge. I also said please make sure that the food is enough for 30 people, he said don’t worry we will take care. I agreed with that. At the end of event, I got the bill that shows they charge 20% Gratuity ($104.98) and food/ tax of $43.30, when I went to discuss this in person with “Satish” he said my employee made mistake when he quoted $450!!! and he has to charge Gratuity and food tax regardless . I said him repeatedly that this was not quoted to me but he did not want to do anything saying you have to talk to Mr. Dube the owner. I called next day for Mr. Dube he never called me and later on “Satish” called me and said they cannot do anything!!!! The food was not even enough for 25 people dining so they forced us to order extra items and the tab come out to $673.18!!! I personally believe that this is clearly rip-off, Thy charge $148.28 which should not be at first place. I wanted to share this info via review so this will not happened to any one other customer. I don’t know how this will impact to his business when I talk to my circle which I will do loud and clear, and if it does- they...

I went there with my family yesterday for their lunch buffet and totally hated it. This was my third buffet in Houston after moving from Minneapolis a few months back, the previous two being Bombay sweets ($8/person) and Maharaja Bhog ($19/person). I had previously hated Bombay sweets buffet, but after having India's restaurant buffet ($15/person), the one at Bombay sweets seems pretty much good for their buffet price. All the Indian lunch buffets that I have gone had some breakfast items like idli, dosa and vada, chats, lunch items from north and south, samosa (yes, all of them had samosa), and 2-3 dessert items plus drinks all for less than $14 on weekends. However, at India's, they didnt have any breakfast items, samosa and drinks. No samosa!!!. And still $15. They had sagu paneer which tasted exactly like milk, cabbage kofta which had more salt. I dont want to talk about their naan. The only item my entire family liked was only the desserts. No wonder there were only couple of other Indian families in the whole restaurant during peak lunch hour. More than half the restaurant was empty and the remaining tables were occupied by non-Indian's. Usually after going to an Indian buffet, we actually feel so full that eating a piece of gulab jamun would seem extremely difficult. However, yesterday at India's, I could gobble up 4-5 gulab jamuns, thanks to their main course. I wonder if all the good reviews they have displayed on their walls are true or not. This is my honest review about having food there...
