Jay Bhavani - Indian Vegetarian Restaurant — Restaurant in Houston

This is, without a doubt, the worst food I’ve had in the Houston MG District.

The paneer butter masala is excessively greasy, swimming in butter and oil, while the chole masala was a complete disappointment—arguably the worst I’ve ever tasted. Even plain cooked rice mixed with raw vegetables and spices would be more flavorful than any of their Chinese dishes.

Since it was getting late, we asked to have it packed to go, but even then the order ended up being incorrect. After such a long wait and repeated delays, I wasn’t able to enjoy the food at the restaurant at all. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously, because the constant delays and miscommunication made what should have been a nice family meal into a very...
