Delicious! As soon as you walk in you are smacked in the face with an amazing aroma of spices. This was my first time ever eating Indian food and it will definitely not be the last. We got Chicken Ghee to start, which had such deep flavor …
⭐ Honest Review – Monks Indian Restaurant I visited Monks Indian Restaurant for dinner and ordered a family pack goat biryani (spicy). …
We dined at Monk’s in Cypress couple of days ago and were pleasantly surprised to see a newly added bar. It looked very nicely stocked and well decorated. We enjoyed some delicious Indian-Chinese food and wonderful service from Jay. The portions were huge. We will be back!
Decided to try this place out and it was great. Jay was helpful and attentive, made sure to accommodate my allergy, and was generally a great server. We had the chicken vindaloo and was super tasty and just right amount of spice (med). We …
Very disappointing experience. The Benne Dosa was hard and difficult to chew, the aloo masala smelled bad, and the sambar was too watery. The order also took a long time to prepare. I would not order this again.
We had lamb curry, chicken tikka masala, butter naan, and samosas. Everything was soooo good! Oh, and the complimentary soup was great too! Will definitely be back!
Excellent place for lunch or dinner. The menu is high and there’s plenty of choices for people who love Indian food plus for those just trying it out. If you’re new to this cuisine then try any of the fried rice dishes. I love the veggie spring rolls too! The service was quick. They can accommodate large groups as well!
From the moment we walked in the customer service was wonderful. I love friendly engaging, helpful waitstaff. They asked had we been there before then kindly volunteered to help us navigate their many delicious items. We were quite pleased …
Delicious Local Indo-Chinese Restaurant. I recommend the drums of heaven and the goat fry biryani! You can tailor the spice level to your liking and they really adhere to it. I cannot tolerate too much heat and I find the mild / medium heat …
The food is PHENOMENAL! Best Indian food I’ve had in the US! The flavors were perfectly balanced. The service was great also. So delicious, we’ll definitely be back!
Today I visited the The Monk's Indian Bistro on FM 1960 with my partner. We received exceptional serviced by Praveen, and even better food. Since my partner and I are both vegan and new to the restaurant we had many questions. Praveen was …
I had been dining here regularly for the last 1.5 years. All I want regarding the food is quality, and here at Monk's, the taste and quality are at the top. Apart from that, the prices are also standard. I have tried many other restaurants …
We went here for dinner and Dave took care of us. The garlic naan, chicken masala and saag paneer was delicious! We got plenty of food that we took the rest home. I forgot to take a photo so I took photos of our take out containers. I can’t wait to eat it again!
Really delicious Indian food! Everything we ordered was full of flavor and tasted fresh. The spices were perfectly balanced, and you can tell a lot of care goes into the cooking. We’ll definitely be back.
We love the food here. The only thing I absolutely hate at this place is this FOOD COLOR. We have told them many times this feed back. But they keep adding this food color. CHEFS, common you cook amazing. You don’t need a food color. Your cooking taste itself is wonderful. Stop food color please
Monks Indian Bistro in Cypress, Texas, offers a delightful fusion of Indian and Chinese cuisines, providing a unique dining experience. Located at 24120 Northwest Freeway, Suite 100, the restaurant is open daily from 11:30 AM to 9:45 PM.  …
Do NOT order catering from them. When you go to pickup, the portions will be very small for your party size. They will claim that this is enough for your party size but we had 9 pieces of kofta for a party of 15. We then had to order again …
Amazing food! Dave is always so kind & patient when I have questions. What a cool spot! It has become a weekly staple for me! Chettinad, Malai, Dal Tadka, Briyani Masakali, Biryani Kheem... i could go on and on! Every single thing has been better than the thing before it. Absolutely LOVE this place!
Food and service were amazing! Their food tasted so authentic! Orders were good portions for price! Atmosphere was a bit too tepid. Maybe a little ambiance music could pick it up some, and then it would get a 5 for sure!
Worst biryani’s I ate in my life. Both chicken and goat are tastes bad. Chicken biryani says dum but no, it a curry with lot of sauce and colorful rice on top. The spices they had in it burns my stomach whole night. I don’t recommend eating here.
I've been here multiple times now for dining in so it was high time I posted a review! They have a large menu and numerous vegetarian options. This is my go-to for momos and Indo Chinese cuisine. …
Food is great. Service is very bad, not due to untrained staff but not having enough staff to handle the work load. One person handling everything from cleaning tables, seating customers, taking orders, online orders, billing, as well as …
Had to go order of Maggi rolls, garlic fried rice and butter masala with paneer. All tasted good. Fried rice was the best amongst all. Had maggi rolls for the first time, sauce given with that was good. Paneer butter masala just tasted okay, not so special, I guess. Portions were good for the charge.
BAD SERVICE!!!!!!!!!!!! We had a really frustrating experience. We arrived at 8:30 pm, well before the restaurant’s posted closing time of 9:30 pm, expecting to have enough time to …
It was pretty busy and only 1 server. We had to ask for water and wave him over when we had a question and to place an order. We found out that alot of the pictures posted on here are from the previous restaurant in this location. So a lot …
I recently celebrated my birthday at The Monk’s in Cypress, Texas, and it was an unforgettable experience. The restaurant’s inviting ambiance set the perfect tone for the evening. …
Wonderful food! Spicy level 3 is excellent. Full of flavor.
I tried manchow soup, mutton cheinaad and butter naam trust me guyzz its not even low average. …
This establishment does not receive the deserved recognition it requires. It is without a doubt the finest Indian cuisine I have personally experienced. The team is consistently amiable and highly attentive. The food is consistently fresh and prepared to order.
Very delicious food !!! Ordered the Chicken , Goat and Lamb Biryanni and it was so good . The portions are really big and the yogurt sauce that come on the side is very tasty , the spicy level is very reasonable so you really get to enjoy …
Delicious food anytime you visit them. We usually get their fix indo chinese lunch and ask to make it extra spicy. It always turns out good with nice flavors. Their ala carte menu choices ranges from indo chinese to north indian dishes. The best and our go to Indian restaurant in Cypress for sure.
Quite literally the best Indian food I've ever had. The flavors and spice all compliment themselves perfectly. The only complaint i have is the inadequate size of my stomach when it comes to Monk's
Hidden Gem Located in a very quiet parking lot Don’t over looks. Beautiful colors and decor. Good food, moderate portions, and lots of fresh naan.
Food is excellent and typically ready within 30 minutes of ordering online. We typically get the Vijayawada Special Chicken Biryani and the Chicken Tikka Masala with Butter Naan and kinda mix it together, might not be right but it’s …
This place was absolutely amazing! Kumar came by and made sure our food was good, as if he had to ask. The food was HOT, right off the stove and the garlic nan was delicious. Rice with every meal and appetizers came out promptly.
Because I’m such a lightweight when it comes to heat/spice, I was told to try this place. Except the day I visited, they really kicked it up. My friend said it wasn’t …
Great Food and Service. The complimentary soup was spicy but really tasty. Love the dynamite chicken and the monk special fries. Would recommend and come back again.
Came for dinner with a group and tried a few of the dishes, both appetizers and entrees. The food was quite average, but the restaurant itself and its staff are very nice (so an extra star for that). We got chilli chicken, chicken 65, idli …
An excellent Indian restaurant the service was friendly and quick, food was freshly prepared and spiced well and burst with flavor, they do have lot of South Indian and info-Chinese dishes to choose from, the chettinad veg masala was …
Had lunch at Monk’s Indian Bistro located off 290 by Cole’s Crossing. We decided on the Desi Combo with Tikka Masala and chicken. Flavor was great! Had the right amount of heat! They even accommodated us with our request of less salt. …
Food was average, nothing that I would go back for. Did not like the ambiance. Cutlery and crockery looked overused and old.
Wow this place is amazing! The flavors are so genuine and everything we tried had such amazing flavors - like they actually made the food from scratch! Amazing
We recently visited monk today and we were blown away by the food quality. We ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala, Goat Korma, and Vijayawada Chicken Biryani.Everything was bursting with authentic flavor and cooked to perfection. …
Driving through Houston, came up on this place. They definitely need to adjust the thermostat as the place was freezing. Staff is very nice. They have a lunch buffet. I was there for dinner, ordered chicken biryani and it took about 30 …
I just ordered chicken biryani, but it was very disappointing. It had too much gravy and very little rice. This didn’t feel like proper biryani. Please improve the quality
Pretty good Indian food the chicken was spicy and the lamb was good too try it out if ur in the area
Great South Indian Items! Especially the Sambhar curry is one of the best in Houston… should try once and pretty sure you’ll visit often then after ☺️ Tandoori chicken will also satisfy your taste buds + Grilled fish will really tickle your senses and makes you feel having a great sea food! Bon appetite .
They give peanut quantity of food at price of exotic entree'...price to quantity of food was a joke...NOT recommended for vegetarian. Food was prepared in haste and NOT GOOD. VERY PRICEY FOOD compared to quantity.
First time at this restaurant and everything was delicious! We had the buffet for lunch. We tried a little of everything and we were pleasantly surprised how great the food was seasoned. We will definitely be back again. The staff was friendly and the bathroom was clean.
Update: THIS IS THE CORRECT LOCATION! I might have heard incorrectly about your chef but my review still stands. My wife and I were there during the tornado and we were the ones that ran to the bathroom. So check your register for my last …
Indian Fried Rice is a robust, hearty meal blending traditional spices with vibrant vegetables, offering both nutrition and satisfaction. Maggi Rolls provide a playful, convenient twist on classic noodles, combining familiar flavors with …
I’m loving this place recently. If you guys want to try Indian, Chinese or Indo-Chinese fusion i think this is the place. I really like their Tandoori Momos and Thalapakattu Biryani. Good Ambience and Hospitality.
I came to pick up an order of food and they kept telling me 5 more minutes, 5 more minutes , 5 more minutes , etc... until we got to 50 minutes. Other people who came after me left before me. This place does not care about time. They will …
Quality of food wentdown. Need to followup multiple times to refill the food. Don't care attitude. very bad service. I won't go again.
The music, the smell and the lighting set up the ambiance for a unique experience! This place offers a lunch Buffett with a variety of items and at a great price. The staff is very friendly and the food taste delicious! I will definitely visit more often!
Food was delicious jay was an amazing server authentic authentic super good Indian food would definitely come again !! (:
Terrible service. The woman who took our order thought she was smart enough to remember the order, but she forgot the entire kid menu to put on. We were there on Tuesday night and we were the only table there dine in pretty much the whole …
SO MUCH DELICIOUS FOOD for such a reasonable price! We had the lamb biryani, chili garlic chicken fried rice, channa masala, and garlic naan. We’ll be back!
Absolutely delicious food and great service! The spices and flavors are to die for. We have been here 2 times and will make it a regular stop!
Jay is amazing! The food was beyond amazing. Thank you guys for another great experience!
We found this place driving around. The name drew our attention. We decided to try some of their food to go. …
My favorite Indian restaurant. We try to go every week. Delicious buffet with great selection. They have my favorite sambar.
Very good Indian food, and service was really good as well. We ordered the Chicken Tikka and Veg Samosa appetizers, both were very good and the chicken was very large pieces. We also got Shrimp 65 Masala, and Chicken Vindaloo. Both were …
Exelente servicio!!! Food was super delicious my first time , will be coming back, butter chicken spicy 😋 , kids love the regular butter chicken.. The service was amazing... …
Amazing dosa! Veg pakora and tandoori chicken were some of the best I have ever had through my travels. Will return.
Staff was really nice and helpful to newcomers, if you're wanting to try authentic Indian food for the first time this is the place to be!
Food is always so excellent. Especially the biryanis. From the samosas to the naan, added to the excellent entrees, you won’t be disappointed.
Awsome restaurant, great taste, great variety of veg and non-veg and typical indian taste which u dnt see here in US.would love to visit here again..😃 …
We’ve been coming to Monks for years now. It’s by far the best food we’ve had. We’ve tried different Indian places and nothing compares.
I had the worst experience with this restaurant. We heard positive reviews about the food from our friends. This is the first time we visited this place after my kids' last day of school. The kids were hungry, so we chose a table and waited …
Very good biryani, good veg cutlet... but gave us burnt tandoori chicken, chicken lollipops are not lollipops they are regular fried chicken served...
Place stinks. Very slow service. I want to clarify that I am not a competitor and do not own or run any business …
Ordered thru uber eats. Very disappointed with the Quality of food delivered. Dine in service was good but not online order one from my experience. The appetizers the ordered where all burned and too much salt in it. Did not expect this from them.very very unsatisfied with the service.
My family always orders take out here. Our favorites are the Chicken Tikka Masala, Lamb Curry, Garlic Naan, and Samosas. For family of 6 we have 2 orders of Chicken Tikka Masala (medium), 2 orders of Lamb Curry (1 medium, 1 spicy), 3-4 …
Food was outstanding. Service was fast and very friendly. Highly recommend this jewel.
Overall I really appreciated the service, the waitress was super sweet !! And the food was amazing !! 10/10 would recommend
We ordered dosa , order was not only cancelled but they did not update on the food apps. Shame on this place. Fooling people when they can not deliver.
The restaurant closes at 9:30 p.m., and I arrived at the restaurant by 8:45 p.m. Despite this, they still refused to take my order, and this has happened to me three times.
Food selection and taste are really good and authentic. Service is good and I loved all about this place. For vegetarians it's more of breakfast menu compared to variety non-veg enjoy, which can be improved.
Donne biryani is not authentic Bangalore style. It’s very very very spicy.
Good menu options. Waiting for them to open in College Station, Texas
My girlfriend and I came here for the all you can eat lunch. The food was limited, but all of it tasted delicious. Sodas come in a can, so that's limited too (and pretty expensive). …
The food was great and the staff was very warm and friendly. Would certainly come here once again! The food is priced very reasonably and portions are very generous. I would rate it 10/10 :)!!
Waited an hour for a takeout order of two entrees only to have the lamb korma be incredibly overcooked. Extremely mediocre food at premium prices. Also no utensils after making me wait a full hour really tore it.
I recently visited Monk Indian bistro, and the Portions were generous, prices fair, and the overall atmosphere felt cozy yet vibrant. Whether you’re new to Indian cuisine or a longtime fan, this place is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back!
Worst biryani ever..Ordered biryani and they gave me rice with some sweet boneless chciken after asking for it to be spicy. If you want actual biryani dont go to this place you will get rice with chciken chili ..sorry but not the same step up your game guys.
Love the food here, but was so understaffed last time I went. 1 guy was serving a basically full restaurant
Incredible experience and incredible food, Jay was an absolutely amazing server and definitely plan on coming back with friends and family.
We recently hosted a party and ordered food from this restaurant. The staff was very attentive and made sure everything was served properly. The food was delicious — thank you for the wonderful experience!
I am a regular customer to monks. But not any more now… while placing the order I clearly mentioned. Even though I mention in a comment to the chef they make food taste less and burnt again. Very disappointed with monks
I had a bad experience. The staff stopped accepting customers well before the stated closing time of 9:30 PM. It happened to me twice.
The environment feels very friendly, and the staff was very kind. When you come in it smells so good! They have a complimentary soup in the front and is really fresh hot and spicy! Very good food!! Thank you guys for making amazing food!
One of the better options in Cypress. Biryani solid as were the other dishes.
Food taste And quality both very good.
We got the Tikki Paneer lunch special, Gobi Manchurian lunch special and the veggie vindaloo lunch special. I also got a mango lassi which was tasty. All super good. Definitely would recommend.
I ordered Garlic Naan it’s garbage, I attached the picture, if anyone order there please when you pick up order you need to see before and I have my credit card receipt too
Service is fast and friendly. The food is top notch. I will be back with more people!!
Multiple problems not just with this Restaurent but with any Indian/pakistan Restaurent. 1. They cook biryani’s and pack them already for delivery. Once you place an …
Food and services are really good, thank you all. Well done. It’s highly recommended 😉 …
Very friendly and inviting atmosphere Amazing food especially Saag Paneer and Tikki Masala.
Mediocre Indian food with bad service…. Everest curry bar down the road is much much better
Love this place. Their vijayawada special chicken biriyani is a must try - its my go to dish. Flavours are really good and the portion size is generous. The starters and other main course are also worth exploring. Highly recommend this restaurant.
A nice restaurant with delicious food and excellent service. We will definitely be back.
Food AMAZING!!would have liked to have used dishes picked up earlier so more comfortable while chatting with friend.
Worst service. We sat for hour and half and dinner was not served. Low on staff. Unable to manage. Pathetic.
Fresh and authentic. Portions are just the right size. The staff are always very attentive and friendly.
Jay is wonderful! Thank you all for the amazing experience every time I come dine!
This was our first visit and we will definitely be back! Everything was delicious! The waiter was very helpful answering our questions about the extensive menu and making recommendations. We had Tandori Momos, Dynamite Chicken, Butter Chicken and Street Style Noodles. Saw many other dishes on their menu I’d love to try.
Food at Monks is good and staff is really good! Good place for a family dinner.
I always visited frequently, because it’s kitchen likely home. Excellent preparation. Clean atmosphere, friendly service.
This is my second time dining at Monks Bistro and each time has been amazing. From the moment we walked in we were impressed. …
The staff at this restaurant is incredibly friendly, honest people, and very helpful! I definitely will be coming back and tell all of my friends and family to come and try the delicious food! The restaurant won me and my husband over with …
I spontaneously tried this place out, on my way to a meeting in the area. It's the best Indian food I've had in all of Houston. The rice was fluffy and the naan bread was fresh. I never do reviews but they really impressed me.
First time coming in here and I have to say from the time I opened the door the experience was outstanding. The place looked amazing. Customer service was excellent. Being my first time here I asked the gentleman who sat us down what he …
Great Indian cuisine! Prices are good.
everything was amazing the butter chicken was 100/10 mango lassi was 1000/10 JAY SERVER WAS 10/10
Great food! The servers were friendly and sociable making the experience that much better.
Visited the Humble location. The food was delicious! We got the chicken korma and spicy chicken biryani With the garlic naan. The biryani serving was enough to feed two people. The service was wonderful. Don’t let the outside fool you. …
Amazing food. This is my favourite place in all of houston.
Made plans for lunch and wanted to try some new places wirh a colleague from work. Nice atmosphere, very clean and inviting. Service a bit on the slow side but not too bad. Lots of “I’ll be right there or give me a sec” from the server. …
This was by far the worst dining experience . The waiter said we could not get biryani but our neighbors got after us. We waited 1 hr for fried rice . The food was served in 15 min increments. The tandoori chicken was obviously a few days …
I’ve been looking for a good Indian restaurant in Houston and let me tell ya, I found the best one here at Monk’s. The gobi Manchurian is perfectly crispy, and the garlic naan is a great balance of crispy and soft at the same time. The …
I bring everyone I know here. Best food flavors and quality in the area. Deb is a great waiter, very friendly and the chef is great too. …
Online dynamite, chicken and some other people order some other stuff, but the chicken was so bad. It looks like old saggy chicken, and taste bad with a lot of oil. Looks like the oil is old and taste this bad. I was feeling nauseous. I will not recommend this restaurant and I will not order anything in the future.
I ordered Biryani with boneless chicken, AMAZING! Soft, Juicy and full of flavor in every bite, highly recommended. Portions are big too.
We love this place. $10 lunch buffet with a large selection of fresh, diverse dishes. If you're sensitive to spicy foods be sure to ask which ones are hot. We love them all but have to taste them before my heat-averse mother fills up her plate :) So glad to have such a great Indian restaurant in Cypress.
Really good services and the food was delicious! We had a good variety of plates and basically try a lot of different things. I personally loved the vegetables samosas,in my humble opinion there were one of the best samosas that I have ever …
This place is REALLY good and the people here are really nice. Would definitely come back here in the future.
Loved it! Me and my friend went for a late lunch and we had a great time. Food was amazing especially the garlic naan and service was great. We even got a dessert for free. 10/10 would recommend
A very authentic Indian food! Friendly and professional staff. Will definitely come back again real soon!!! Saag dish was flavorful and high quality ingredients, also tried the hot and sour soup was really really good! All Naans are flavorful as well too. Don't forget to try the monk's fries!!
Wow! The food was great. We don't usually eat Indian, but we are already planning our next visit here. The spice level was just right for us (we had medium). The flavors were outstanding (our group had four different dishes, including …
I'm impressed! The egg biryani was fantastic - perfectly spiced with crispy whole eggs. Their chai tea was also delicious, flavorful and aromatic. The service was quick and friendly.
Great Indian Food. The biryani is delicious. The weekday Thali’s are super good value for money. The service is excellent. Servers are kind and have patience to take the order. Place is clean. …
Ordered Gongura Chicken Biryani. It’s one of the worst I’ve had. I asked for 1 out of 5 spice when asked and it was very spicy still. Not gonna come back.
Great experience, the food was very good. I will be recommending to friends and family
**Buffet mentioned in other reviews is no longer offered.** This is a strip mall restaurant. Not much ambience to speak of, but the food is …
If I could give negative stars I would do so The WORST meal I’ve had. DO NOT come here. …
I went on a Tuesday hoping to enjoy their lunch buffet others had mentioned in reviews. I find out once there that it’s only offered Fri, Sat, & Sun, so I decided to try the tikka chicken lunch. Though it was slightly spicier than what I’m …
My wife and two children were regulars at Annam's Indian Bistro over the last 3 years and would rate it 5 stars. Recently however, we started to notice a difference in both the menu and the taste! We now can't get previous favourites. We …
Manoj was extremely helpful and kind. He recommended ideas that ended up being delicious. We love this place and it is our favorite Indian restaurant. They have amazing buffets on Saturday’s and Sundays which is a wonderful way to try new foods. I highly recommend Annam.
Second time we’ve eaten there, the first time was the lunch buffet and it was awesome! This second time they had a lunch menu and we were not disappointed. Plenty of food and everything was delicious. Service is on point, we’ll definitely be back! Thank y’all!
Such wonderful, lovely people working here. Close to closing and the kitchen is still bustling and the front staff is full of energy and kindness. I had a weird mix-up through an ordering app, and the men here bent over backwards to make …
Monks Indian Bistro in Cypress, Texas, is an absolute culinary delight. From the moment you walk in, the warm and inviting atmosphere sets the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The aroma of Indian spices fills the air, giving …
I have been here twice and these guys are awesome . I have had their buffet and it’s really delicious. It’s from Friday to Sunday and the price is very nominal for the quality in taste. The chicken is so tender and his veg curries are also …
They started out strong for several months with a fantastic weekend buffet. But over the past two months, they've gone the cheap route on the buffet options. And the place is so hot now that you can't eat there without breaking a sweat. The flavor is still great, though.
Excellent. Truly excellent. We had our 1st visit yesterday evening. We were a little nervous when we …
hands down the best indian chinese in Houston or even USA. The green chilli is very unique and amazing! …
The place was good but the food specially Manchurian was having too much added colour, and it was okayish. Momo was good.
Catered for a Christmas dinner and food was superb!!! Very delicious. Mouthwatering. I was really happy with their excellent services and got the food right in time. Their staff even loaded the food into the car for us. The amount of food …
The food here is fantastic. I came about 2:10 and the buffet closed at 2:30. Everything was still up to the quality of the restaurant, which is high. The staff shut the open sign at 2:16, and were starting to move the buffet at 2:30. …
We went in on a Friday night , place was packed ! That’s always a good sign . New owners and staff are welcoming and courteous . Now coming to the food , we ordered few varieties of fried rice , Hakka Noodles , Panner Butter Masala along …
Average Food, nice service. We dine in or order quite frequently as this place is close to our home. Nothing special about the food but will surely satisfy the Indian food craving. Service …
We really enjoyed the Sizzler Sampler this evening. We had great service even though we came in close to closing time. We always enjoy our food at Annam! It is such a calm and quiet restaurant and a relaxing delicious meal. So glad they are here in Cypress
My husband and I absolutely LOVE this place! We come once a week for the buffet, all of it delicious. The staff is very welcoming and friendly and we’re always greeted and seated immediately. The food and service continually exceed our expectations.
Used to love this place and their food. Now all of a sudden, they changed their menu and some of the food I loved are not in the menu. I think they have changed the cook and or the recopies for foods or management. Used to love their …
Went here after a very long while. We were there when they first opened and felt they made everything way too spicy. Decided to finally give them another shot. The taste was much better but not the experience. …
Great customer service. Affordable prices for the drinks and food with a pleasant atmosphere. You will no regret you visit
Zero star! Had buffet today! The worst indian buffet I ever had… not even worth for $1. …
Delicious food with very good service! They have lunch menu which I would definitely recommend. They have many options for vegetarian so you wouldn’t have to go anywhere else! Haven’t checked vegan options but I think they would have it for …
Just went there yesterday for the first time. Nice setting. Very diverse menu. Food was delicious! Not the regular Indian food restaurant! Food was not greasy, had amazing flavors and the portions were very generous. The service was really good too! Thank you for your special attention Manoj. You made us feel welcome.
I can vouch for lamb fry briany that i ate last bit of it.
My friend and I ordered soup and then entree. The soup never arrived but entree arrived. Finally when the soup arrived our hopes were high as soup was nice. …
we order 4 different dishes, 1st of all came out very late, all 4 dishes were same color, taste, consistence, ingredients. Even waiter was confused.
Best part of Monks that i like the most is that the dishes, if requested, could be made authentic and taste amazing. In the Houston area I'd definitely recommend Monks, especially if you live in the Cypress area!
My husband and I had heard that your food was good and worth trying. So we came in today (Sunday) for lunch. We were seated by a server and two plastic cups were placed on our table and he walked away without asking what we'd like to drink. …
I tried North Indian Veg special and I liked the portions and quality of the food. Lots of veggies in the veg curry and veg biryani. The butter Naans was thin and crispy. The food doesn’t bloat your stomach unlike other restaurants because …
A great place for indo Chinese cuisine. The ambience is awesome It's a fine-dine family restaurant. Food taste great. Must try are the various, great both veg and non-veg. excellent Service is fast. best place , and friendly staff are there. prices are also affordable.
I didn't particularly like the food because I am of S Indian decent and am used to the S African style of Indian food
This is an Indian buffet. There were several different options. Not like a Chinese buffet or Golden Corral where there are also American fried options. There were nine or ten Indian dishes. All were authentic and delicious. There isn't a …
Loved the food, it's difficult finding a restaurant with the authentic Indian flavor , however, this place will not disappoint! We traveled all the way from the lindale area in Houston. We ate the chicken lollipop biryani and the vegetable samosas. 😋 …
We went in around 1:30 pm for the buffet which ends at 3 pm. Food was warm closer to cold but the naan were hot and fresh. Bland food compared to some other Indian restaurants, it’s spicy but lacks flavor. We all have different tastes and …
First time, absolutely loved the food, cozy place with great service, will definitely be back and try more dishes the fried momo was outstanding and the butter Masala paneer superb.
I have had so many good experiences with this place. The management is always so accommodating. Really went above and beyond with me several times and I'm very grateful that they care so much. Everything I've had has been amazing. Highly recommend Monks.
Some of the best Indian cuisine I've tried! The restaurant is very clean and smells wonderful upon entering. The wait-staff is professional and very helpful in explaining the different regional dishes they offer. Highly recommended!
Delicious Indian food. Pretty welcoming service. Love this place. Waitress is so kind in giving us space though we entered nearby closing time. My kid loved this food too very much. Thanks for your service guys
Been coming here for years, when it was Annam Bistro. It has changed management and I can honestly say I will not be back. Got takeout tonight and ordered Veggie Korma and Chicken Tikka Masala. First off I got home and realized they gave …
Lunch buffet is not worth it. Only sambar and pakoda were fresh. Idly seems to be reheated and served. Paneer curry was terrible.veg biryani was actually veg fried rice without vegetables. All the meat dishes were mediocre. Not sure if they have a true chef in the kitchen. No plans to visit them again.
Great food. Free complimentary soup. Great quantity and quality of food for the price. Lunch menus are my fav.
Came here for a lunch date with my husband, it was amazing. We shared the Corn Chat Pata for appetizer, I had the Saag/Paneer and my husband had Jalfrezi/Chicken with garlic naan. Everything was mouth watering. We will be back. …
Good place to grab a quick bite. We went shortly before closing time on a weekday. They took our orders and were quick in bringing out the items that were ordered. Service was prompt and efficient. The dishes itself were okay, not too bad. I would come back another time just for their promptness and good service.
I don't usually write reviews. This one I must. Ordered Paneer Tikka Masala and Butter Naan. Tikka Masala was extremely salty, so I called the server and he tasted it and made a face, and we agreed that it's too salty to be consumed. He …
My review is based on my experience 1. Price is way high compared to others. 2. Taste is not real Indian especially curry and masala items. 3. Customer service Very poor and neglect attitude. 4. Wait time- More than what it should be. 5. …
Food was generally fresh, spicy, tasty and plentiful. It’s hard to find a decent indo chinese without driving an hour, so this location is convenient. One of our dishes did not come out as good as the others and they didn’t put it on the bill, good service.
Excellent food, right on time, great service and honest price. I'm still eating leftovers on the next day and everything still taste pretty good. I love it and have been coming back for some time and will keep coming back as long as food and service and price keep being great. Well done everybody at Annam indian Bistro.
Yummy! My dad and I have been on the lookout for a new indian buffet and we found it. Everything was so delicious. The Saag Paneer was honestly the best I've ever had. Only complaint was the restaurant was a little hot but I don't even care because the food was to die for.
With the help of the server, we were able to choose two impressively seasoned vegetable curries, an excellent tandoori kabob sizzling meat sampler enough for two, and a new bread that complemented the dinner perfectly! We still had plenty left to take home. I would consider our choices healthy gourmet food. Definitely going back .
Amazing food. Tried their chicken, goat, shrimp and tandoori Momos appetizer and all were delicious. Garlic fried rice and Chicken Manchurian were very good too. Will definitely visit again.
Fantastic! Great authentic Indian food. Dosas are awesome here!
"Food was delicious, Service is exceptional, and Atmosphere is cool." I like and always ordering Wijayawada special biriyani 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 …
I frequently order food from this place not because the food quality but this is the only Indian food near by cypress location. Food is just ok both taste and quality.. but today I ordered chicken tandoori momos and I was very hungry and …
This is a nice local Indian spot. The staff are courteous and friendly! We ordered tandoori sizzler, which was the best value - there was so much chicken. We also ordered palak paneer, chicken jalafrasi, lamb briyani, and naan. The chicken …
First time went here - that was Saturday dinner and just couple of tables were taken. It was very dull inside, no ambiance what so ever. Expected food to be good but it was absolutely below avg. service was the same. 3 different people were …
I've been looking for a good authentic Indian and Thai place didn't disappoint at all. Staff were courteous, attentive and the food was spot on. Ordered the garlic and butter nans and aloo Gobi along with the vindaloo and butter chicken and …
Excellent food and excellent service. I always have food from this particular place whenever I’m in cypress. I love fried rice and chicken 65 the most. Must try.. highly recommended…
Had lunch buffet here with my husband for the first time. I should say that I am a big fan of the original restaurant in the oil corridor. It is wonderful for the community that this very convenient location has opened. …
We have been here several time now and the food is always outstanding. Seriously some of the best in Houston. Love having great Ondian in Cypress. Manoj is an awesome server and was very helpful when deciding what to order and making recommendations. Definitely recommend.
Annam is probably the best Indian buffet within 10 miles radius. However, it’s not the best Indian restaurant in Houston. Naan and rice need to be better. Good food choices and location is good. $10 for lunch buffet is worth it.
I liked it when this was Annam. Biryani was my go to here over the last 2-3 years. Now with this being "monks", went in two weeks ago for lunch and the buffet was subpar. Food was bland. Not worth it will not be returning.
Not the same. Prices went up and quality of food went down. The Indian dishes are lacking all the tradition Indian spices the Vindaloo is supposed to have wine vinegar & garlic the vindaloo now taste like sriracha and tomato sauce. …
I've been to Annam many times and ordered many different menu items, and every time it has been exceptional. Too many of the reviews here are travesties, if you can't handle spice, TELL the waitstaff, there are plenty of good things on the …
Ordered dinner to tonight and could have save my $46. Usually the saag paneer is good but tonight fell flat as the cheese was very hard and tasted burnt and the sauce was pureed without any spinach just unflavored green water. Very disappointing as this is the only thing I eat from here.
Our favorite Cypress Indian food restaurant. The chicken tiki masala is very good. My husband has tried a few different dishes and still prefers the tiki masala. Used to be called Annam. When they changed names some menu items were …
Order pepper chicken, chicken 65 for take out. Chicken 65 was too salty and I couldn’t eat. Actually want to return and have them taste it , but it’s little far for me. Pepper chicken, i have asked to make gravy. There is no gravy at all other than half cup of oil. Will never recommend anyone.
This is my first Doordash order at Annam Indian Bistro. Food was amazing! The flavorful Veg Fried rice ,the crispy melt in your mouth Veg Samosa with the refreshingly cool mint sauce and tamarind chutney were all wonderful! The Gulab Jamoon …
Food is very authentic, tasty and subtle with just required amount of spices. Plain paratha was so soft and fluffy and kadai paneer was so delicious. Veg pulao is usually very mild at spices with some veggies. But I haven't seen much places …
Well, food is not so good now and have great difficulty (two weeks in a row) getting them to answer phone for a takeout order. Gave up and now looking at alternative. Shame... used to love the Indian food but obviously sauces and prep are now a merge of cuisines that simply doesn't work.
My family used to LOVE Annam! The drop in the food quality after the management change is insane. The food tasted like a bad chinese take out place, but Indian... greasy, not fresh, and gross looking :( so sad to see Annam go
This place is an absolute jewel! There are not enough good Indian food options in Cypress. This one took us by surprise! Many of the selections are as good as the much touted Kirans in the Galleria area, at a fraction of the cost. Great …
It feels like a sauna in the this restaurant for lunch, everytime I've come!!!!!!! The air conditioning isn't broken, they are just trying to cut cost .They must have the thermostat on 80 or higher. How can a person enjoy eating when he is …
We have been here twice now and loved all of the food. The portions are good also. Definitely our new favorite Indian restaurant. Highly recommend!
The Indian food at this restaurant was really tasty! We absolutely loved it. The Dal Makani and Vegetable Jalfrizi were delicious. We also tried the Chinese Bhel which was also tasty!
Excellent Indian Quisine. All items (~15) in the buffets are excellent. There is no single item which I can say it's not food. More than all above for 5 people we paid only 70USD which is very economical for a family outing
The food was delicious until I started seeing Nats in the rice and in the bread I grabbed my family and left immediately. Disgusting that they would have the nerve to respond asking me not to say anything false but I wouldn't state it if it didn't happen
We were very pleased with our experience here. The food was authentic, flavorful and the portions were generous. The dining room was clean and comfortable. We will be back.
The best Indian food I've had in a long time. The service was phenomenal. We'll definitely be going back
Me and my family came here hoping to try some great food, unfortunately this was the worst Indian food I have tried in my life! A majority of the items were simply rice and the chicken Tikka still being raw. Take my advice, save your money and go somewhere else.
This is the best Indian restaurant in the greater Houston area! Hands down!! I've been a vegetarian for a year now and this place makes it super easy to not crave meet. The flavors on traditional and staple Indian dishes, like masala and alo gobi are my favorite with eggplant and potatoes!!
Amazing dinner and service. Lamb Samosas were perfectly spiced, chicken tika masala was best I’ve had in the Katy/cypress area. Manoj treated us like family. Took the time to explain the dishes and flavor profiles. Check these guys out - and it’s a Bring Your Own Wine place.
A friend recommended this place, and we decided to try it out. It was definitely worth the drive. The food was amazing. The service was fast and friendly. I had the Lamb Korma. My wife had tiki marsala. Check it out!
We ordered Veg Manchurian, Noodles, kids plate (noodles and chicken manchurian) and chicken biryani through grubhub. Veg manchurian balls still needs to be cooked and didn't soak enough in the sauce. Veggie Noodles didn't had enough veggies …
My wife and I love Monk’s and will continue to keep coming back, I highly recommend. The food tastes great, portions are large and they have excellent prices. You will not be disappointed!
They asked me to pick up the order after 20 minutes. I reached there in time, and then they kept me waiting for another 30 minutes. Very poor service.
Food : Undoubtedly the best Indian restaurant in Cypress area. And probably one of the best in Houston. Food has great quality and is very delicious. We had paneer tikka, malai kofta, chhole bhatke and naan. All of them were mouthwatering …
Disappointed on our first take out. After reading some positive reviews, we ordered three vegetable dishes and two dosa meals to go. Vegetables were below average in taste. Seemed like it was Wal-Mart frozen vegetables thrown and cooked. …
Not a fan at all. Although just to be clear I only got the maggie eggrolls from them and this rating is only for that. They were very greesy, very little maggie filled inside and very small in size. …
Tried their Burnt Garlic Fried rice today but it turned out to be Vinegar Fried rice.. Not sure if it was made by a Chef as no one pours that amount of Vinegar.. I am a regular customer at this place but these days they are giving more surprises
Only got one star as zero was not an option.. Very very poor quality food and so so salty. Goat curry was completly thrown out, chicken Tikka Masala was somewhat edible, Nan breads tasted old and stale...very very disappointing. Will not be ordering again.
Good first time experience, the variety on the menu is great. Indian and Chinese- best of both worlds? Just delicious. Casual date worthy , love the jazz that was playing.
I have ordered nonveg food, the taste is really good. But the ambience is not so great, with basic amenities. You can order but I don’t prefer dine in.
Everything is great like usual. Wait times weren’t too long, but the consistency of food varies. Today our chicken wasn’t as good as it’s been.
Great food. We are excited to have a good Indian option in Cypress. However, if you go to an Indian buffet looking for chicken tikka masala, saag paneer, or rice pudding -- this isn't your place. After going several times, I have concluded …
Ordered chicken masala and naan to go. Service was great, small portion but was enough for one person. Food was hot, fresh, and very good. Overall great experience so I’ll be back!
This place went from excellent Indian food to just bad schlock food. Used to be called Annam, now called Monks. We’ve been getting the same dishes here and then some for years. With change in ownership and name their Palak Paneer is now a …
Have ordered from here many times. Tonight, it was part Door Dash and part Annam. Food was delivered 30 minutes late and cold. One of the chicken dishes was unsafe to eat as it was nearly raw. Not sure I will try again...
If you want an oil soaked appetizer with no flavors the place to be. The food tasted horrible. When I called the restaurant after taking the delivery they mentioned that it is expected that oil floats on your appetizers. My last time going there.
They serve stale food, ordered vijayawada spl chicken biryani family pack. Chicken in the biryani and the appetizer were stale and possible made few days ago.
Always go to Annam's for good Indian meal. Al their dishes are fantastic and the owner and his staff provide excellent customer service. Have been here so many times.
The manager Ashok was kind enough to bring us complimentary fried rice since what we ordered had to be made very spicy and we didn't know that. Thanks Ashok! Great service. Good food
Food made me nauseous. Asked for spicy and they gave us no spice. Food coloring in food.
Philip gave the worst customer service ever
Good South Indian food. Went for lunch on weekday, had thier lunch plates.. Great food at good price. Been there few times now. Recently opened this new location, they are based out at hwy 6 and i-10..
Clean, beautiful, great service, kind faces, and AWESOME dishes. Spices are on point. $10 lunch buffet worth every cent. We just found our new spot.
Really flavorful good quality food buffet with good selection and pleasant staff. Excellent experience. Wish it was closer to where we live. Will definitely come back if passing through.
The food was delicious, and our server, Manoj, was exceptionally friendly. The carrot halwa dessert was a great way to end a our dining experience. We'll definitely be going back!
I would give this place 0 stars if I could. The food was disgusting. After I ate my dosa there where hairs on my plate from them, no idea if I ate any and the staff where so unbothered by it when we pointed it our that there where hairs. …
The food at the restaurant was amazing, especially the tikka masala and butter masala with garlic naan. The service was excellent, especially thanks to Naveen, who gave great suggestions and was very helpful.
We have tried several dishes and have been very happy with the food and service. Kids also enjoyed lunch here. Friendly staff, nice place. Best Indian place around.
Excellent service in a very clean environment. I explore Indian food everywhere I travel, and truly favor the excellent flavorful dishes I routinely enjoy here! Very diverse menu. Thanks!
Ordered to go at 8.39pm. Got email saying food will be ready at 8.58pm. Reached at 9pm. Food not ready till 9.20pm, will take another 15 min. Wasted 35 min waiting. No manager present. Employee just says we are busy. No apologies nothing. Also, don't send email with the time for pick up. Really annoyed 😒 😑 🙄 …
Have been here twice, and both times have been topnotch! Lamb biryani, garlic naan, chicken tikka masala and saag paneer are not to be missed. The service is super friendly- they were very patient and answered all our questions about the dishes. Don't miss this Cypress gem!
Excellent service and food. We had two appetizers, two chicken entrees, and nan. Everything was delicious. Staff was very attentive and pleasant. Atmosphere was attractive and relaxing.
Kumar was awesome 👌. Food was amazing …
We wnt for buffet lunch . The staff is freindly . The expetience was nice . Not a great food i would say but it was decent . The sewaiya dessert was really tasty. We also had samosa and they were also good in taste . overall we had a pleasant experience and will like to go again .
We thought Annam was still in the business; however when we reached we saw Monks. So thought of trying their food especially India Chinese. It was just so amazing and brought back memories of having Indian Chinese on streets of india. One …
Spectacular Veg Biriyani! The best I ever had. Delicious and enough for 2nd serving! Excited for new management as they have made some good changes already!! Very highly recommended
Stopped by for dinner on this business trip and found the food delicious. The were plenary of vegetarian options (and meat options). Very clean place with great service. Manoj provided great service! Highly recommend.
We had to wait over an hour to get our food. When asked why there was a delay, we were told that they were filling carry out orders before serving the people who took the trouble to go to the restaurant. Terrible service, and even worse attitude of the wait staff and manager.
Updated review. Was named Anam but is now Monks. Still our go-to place. Very good meals and strong variety. Service friendly. Also a BYOB place so take a bottle of wine.
This used to be Annam. Monk guys no idea what they are doing. Buffet all empty, waited one 1h to get some food. My first and last time. Cook is good but seems like horrible management. Hire more people if you want to run a business.
Good food and good service. Best indian food in town imo....they will make it very hot and spicy. Pepper chicken is great, Biryani is excellent and best veg samosa in town...one of my favorite restaurants.
I ordered thru door dash and the tiki marsala is 15 bucks and it isiis a Togo cup . Was not enough to feed one person let alone two people. And its 4.99 for one piece of naan bread . I would not recommend this place to anyone huge ripoff . So my bill was 35 bucks and all I got was one naan and a cup of tiki marsala
This restaurant is excellent, suggested by our server Manoj. He is very nice and kind. He speaks very good English and he explained us about the food. We highly recommend this restaurant for everybody, the food is tasty, and they have vegan dishes and spicy delicious food.
I like spicy foods a lot. I ordered the curry chicken spicy and it was really spicy! I wouldn’t sleep on it. Make ya lips burn and nose run type of spicy.
So I've finally found a great Indian restaurant in Cypress!! The Dosa was cooked perfectly! It was accompanied by a delicious sambar and coconut chutney. I was also lucky enough to get to try one of their woudas, excellent! Last but not …
Taste is average. Serving size too small to justify the price. A normal adult has to order two meals to feel close to full. I don’t plan on going back here.
The food here is so good!! I usually get the chicken Tikka Masala and I haven't found a place that makes it better than them! And the staff is extremely friendly, that always makes the experience better.
Food was great. Server was polite and kind. It was a bit hot inside. Chop suey was absolutely delicious. Would rate 4.5/5
Excellent food and service from Manoj. The lamb was soo tasty and tender. The shrimp 67 was the perfect spice. We’ll be back it reminded us of our time in south India
Quite nice indian food , so tasty and delicious Taju is awesome in service .
OMG..worst Indian Food i have ever eaten. Fowl smell from rice. Spices all wrong, very dry chicken. Food tasted OLD. i think they save food from the day before. Very view customers, never busy. They wont last.
This restaurant is fantastic! Warm and welcoming, friendly environment, excellent food. BYOB makes it even more awesome! Ask for Manoj- great service! You don’t want to miss this hidden treasure!
They have the Palak Paneer! I've been looking for that everywhere. Love that it's buffet style and that the food are covered. The naan is ready and you don't have to wait to order it. They have the cauliflower vegetable dish. All my favorite dishes are here!
We use to go here for lunch buffet before Covid and the food was decent, however we recently picked up a to go and the food was horrible. We got chicken curry and palak paneer. The portions were very small and food did not feel fresh. We won’t be going back again. Very disappointed.
Very good fresh authentic food! My husband and I enjoyed the lunch tremendously. Thanks to all who is cooking and serving! We will be back soon!
Great food and great service. We have eaten here for the past three years and never a bad experience. Our server, Manoj was absolutely the best. Highly recommend Annam for great Indian food.
I ordered Kadhai lamb and a butter naan, but see what i got kadhai lamb which has 5 small cubes of lamb and rest all onion chunks and capsicum I should’ve called “veg kadhai with little lamb” and that for $15.99 ?? Really?? I never expected that. I will give 3 stars for taste.
The food is so good its on a different level
Best place for Indian food in cypress! The chicken tikka masala with garlic naan is my absolute go to! The samosa are excellent! Monaj Always does a great job taking care of us!
I ordered fish curry here and after tasting it I can strongly say that this is one of the most WORST curries. No taste, no salt, no spice and NOT INDIAN. I threw away the curry and ate with my home made pickle.
I ordered the goat briyani it was so good and well priced for the quantity!! Definitely coming back better than most Indian restaurants in Houston and Cypress in my opinion
Food was cold. Chicken Tikka were tough. Old Indian guy kept staring at us. New owners should look at this seriously. Fish was over fried. Not the reputable place it could be
Tasty food with a twist. Sometimes it is a hit or a miss depending on who is cooking. Gully Gobi, Monks Chop suey Veg and Fried Chicken Biriyani are my favorites.
Worst taste. Food is cold. No items even though waiting for 30 mins. The staff just smile and says 'its getting ready '. Not maintaining the proper temperature for serving food. Never want to go again.
Change of ownership recently and quality and variety has deteriorated badly. Meat quality is poor and food is unbelievably oily. Food is inedible and threw it away. Previous owners were much better.
Clean, and setup is avg. Food is not impressive. Not a repeat venue for us. …
I love monks they are one of the best in the Cypress area I recommend to everyone looking for good food and good service. I love the people their. I go their so much they know me by name Gabriel.
I like the Combo specials from their lunch menu which is 10$ ( veg & Non-veg ). Which is available 11:AM to 2:30 PM from Monday to Thursday. It’s delicious.
We loved our dinner tonight, met the owners they were welcoming and friendly. Food was good, we enjoyed what we ordered. Will definitely return for more.
I really wanted to like this place. I gave it two tries. Both times the food was salty and extremely oily. I miss Annam. Food was excellent at Annam and so tasty, less oil.
I don’t like gratuity tax. It’s an optional thing everywhere. But it’s forceful here. Never seen such kind of enforcements anywhere even as per law. Worst thing!
I went this place before and the food was good but yesterday the very first time I ate buffet .. items really so poor, especially I like to talk about butter chicken, it’s taste was so bad ! & chicken was not fresh..only I liked their zera rice & Alu gobie vegi...rest of items were disgusting ...
We cater from them all the time, best prices and great food, we don’t go to anyone else for catering. Ask them for their package prices. Always try to support local as well.
First time. ordered to-go. Friendly prompt service.
I tried two curries both were really tasty. Naans were crunchy and delicious. One must try their signature dish “Korma” (veg curry).
Went for a lunch buffet, even though no of items are less, each one is very good. Especially Gopi machurian. Thanks to the person who keeps on checking the food and refills it. Good customer service...
Sunday buffet was a culinary delight. Service as usual, customer focused. Manoj welcomed us like we're his friends. Great to be back!
Great food and service for a very reasonable price! Mr. Vishwanath helped us a lot to decide on the menu. Highly recommend!
Great Indian Food and Service. A must visit place in cypress
Glad I found this place. It's great for an inexpensive lunch with their lunch menu specials. Fast service, friendly staff. I've been here several times and plan on making this a regular lunch stop.
Manoi was my server this evening and the service was FANTASTIC! The service can not be beat. The food is always fresh and delicious. The best Indian food around!!! It is truly amazing :)
Good service, nice comfortable atmosphere. We have tried their dosas, muttar paneer, chicken tikka, and naan. Everything was very tasty! We have been three times now and the quality has been consistently good.
Had the Sunday lunch buffet. I found it to be just fair. I enjoyed a couple of dishes, but wasn't a fan of others. Didn't have a quality chicken curry or Rogan josh.
The food was good. Definitely an interesting menu. Half is Indian and the other half is Japanese. They offer lunch specials at a reasonable price.
Indian people cook good food , but their costumer service is the worst , I got lunch to go , they didn't even put a paper napkins in it
Gobi biryani was delicious and the portion was huge. Restaurant was really clean and service was great.
Very very disappointing We ordered through Uber First of all very late in preparing …
The food Was amazing. Try their Tikka Masala and garlic naan most recommended. Friendly staff and atmosphere.
👌 …
One of my favorite places. This location does a buffet everyday. The original location only does it on the weekend. Very consistent in food quality and a decent mango lassi.
Food was very yummy. Service was very quick. But one thing I didn't like was the taste of water they served.
Saturday lunch buffet was delicious. Editing : i gave a good review before, but we went back there on Friday for lunch , and we left after waiting for 15 min for someone to take our order.
We ordered food for our party and everything was great ! Chicken manchurian and chilli chicken were guest favourites !! 5 stars for taste quality and quantity !
Forgot about my Momo’s
Found this place last night and was very pleased. The food was fantastic and the service was great! Chicken Tikka Masala was to die for. Will definitely be coming back again. And again!
Not bad, but I think I prefer the lunch format of the Highway 6 store a bit better. But the food here is of similar quality and taste and there's plenty to fill you up.
Not Worth Going..Buffets are complete waste. Food was uncooked and not fresh. Breads served were uncooked. Desserts which are suppose to be cold...were served warm..Buffets not worth trying.
Very delicious food and nice restaurant
The food was ok but not the best. Maybe I’ll try something different next time. I’ve definitely had better Indian food
One of the best Indian food I have had in a very long time! Great staff, very friendly, excellent prices and not to mention but the food was awesome!!
Consistently good Indian specialties with unbeatable lunch specials.
Very flavorful food. My wife and I loved it. Naan with garlic was amazing!
Came for the lunch buffet on a Sunday. I've tried four or five Indian spots in the North Houston area, and this was far and away the best so far. The others weren't even close.
An excellent Indian place with all sorts of savory dishes. The ambiance is welcoming and the staff are very helpful. Highly recommend!
South Indian Kerala/ tamilnadu flavored spicy, tangy, tasty food. They need to serve appam in buffet too and it’s not served often in ala carte too
Ambiance is nice, but unfortunately the food didn't have taste. Was hoping for a good Indian food place near home!
Fabulous food. Great service. The lunch buffet is varied and delish! Manoj was our server he is very friendly and helpful.
Worst service we ordered food and waited almost 1 hr for getting my order. Better to improve kitchen service very slow
My favorite Indian restaurant now, great food and great customer service. The owners work the front usually and are some great people must try out, plus they have tap beers!
Delicious! We order 2 entrees and biryani and everything was outstanding. Definitely going back.
Yummy & clean! I went in for a buffet and it definitely hit the spot. Closest Indian food to me and I will be back.
Delicious Indian food . Good price $9.99 for Buffet on weekdays. I recommend the rosted cauliflower. So delicious
Delicious food, great service and friendly staff.
I ordered some garlic chicken fried rice and Hakka chicken noodles, They tasted stale. I will not be ordering again. Thank you,
The young Chef is awesome! He took some time to explain how he does his eggs that go into the egg biryani!
Friendly Service & Delicious Foods. From lamb samosas to the palak paneer to tikka masala and the mango kesari. Yummy for your smiling tummy!
Food test is good and testy.
Highly recommended.Tasty food.Everything we ordered was so flavorful.We enjoyed.Service was quick and amazing too.
I was there for the weekend buffet and the food is very bland and not tasty. I would not recommend this restaurant. Very very limited options for vegetarians. Expensive for the quality of food as well.
We love Annam's lamb biryani, aloo paratha, assortment of naan, chicken tikka masala, veggie rice, and rice kheer. Yum!
Monk has become one of my favorite Indian restaurants. Good food. Friendly staff. Clean dining area and bathroom.
Food was stale, service was mediocre and the atmosphere was a bit dull. Ordering food to go felt like it's leftovers warmed up and delivered
Had pretty bad serving experience....sat 45 mins waiting for order, asked twice at the reception about food getting delayed, but were told that kitchen was busy...and then learnt the order didn't go through...the server didn't even apologise..it was as if this was normal
I love to eat from here the atmosphere of the restaurant was very good the service was also excellent and thank you so much
We ordered this for dinner and it was very disappointing. The rice was very bland and the chicken was nothing but bone and fat. I will not be ordering from here again.
Everything we tried was delicious!!
Never disappointed at this restaurant. One of our favorites in the area. Good south Indian taste.
One of the best restaurants in Cypress. Veg dynamite is my most favorite item here.
Please don’t order Chinese food. Very bad manchow soup, street fried very bad taste. Wok fried rice ok.
Food is good, over priced$$$
I've ordered north Indian thali and my partner ordered south indian, it was OK, staff was kind enough to let us continue with our lunch even after closing hours.
Food was good and the price was very reasonable. Service was a bit disjointed, but it was fairly busy on a Saturday evening. We will more than likely come back and give it another go. If the staff gets into the swing if it this could be on the regular visit list.
Had an excellent dinner suggested by our excellent server Manoj. This is the second time here, both times with he took care of us. Looking forward to coming back again.
Expensive, not authentic indian food, limited options and poor service. The only reason someone would go there is because it is the only Indian restaurant in cypress.
Best biriyani I had in College Station period.
I ordered online and made sure the address was right, yet miraculously, they managed to deliver it to the wrong place.
Great Indo Chinese cuisine in the cypress area, we tried several veg options and they ALL were AWESOME!!, friendly staff and excellent service.
Goat fry biryani is pretty good.
Authentic Indian food. Limited variety in dishes and thali and buffet option. Cleanliness and good service. They serve both veg and non veg Indian dishes.
I especially recommend theirs Chineese Entree with Garlic Naan. It's the most flavourful dish I've recently had.
Manoj is the best here. Friendly and Caring. Made the best food recommendations and we also had a great conversations. …
Food was good... but especially impressed by the wait staff. The person went out of his way to help with the kids.
Tried the lunch buffet, and enjoyed it. Several selections, friendly attentive staff. We will be back for a dinner soon.
This place is fantastic! Excellent quality! If you like butter chicken or chicken biryani, this is the place! …
This is the best indian food I've ever had. It was awesome to see goat on the menu!!!
Really good food, really good prices, and really good engagement from the staff. I have definitely been back already and will make it a weekly stop.
Lunch specials are incredibly high value. Lots of food, solid variety, all well-executed for super cheap. Highly recommended.
I visted many times with family before food was great however they’re going cheap on food quality and test. Food tested like left over and price is pretty high.
Service is nice and friendly but the food is very mediocre and overpriced, you can get better indian more authentic food for such price tag
The best Indian food. It's the closest I have found to the great Indian cuisine when I used to go out in Leeds, UK!
Food is not at all good, we ordered kids menu chicken manchirian and it is just water and chicken. Not at all recommend this restaurant
Always order to go! Great food and customer service!
Tried their Paneer tikka masala and noodles. Both were amazing
The lamb samosa and lamb vindaloo was only exceeded by Manoj! The service impeccable! Thank you for an excellent dinner and time!
Still a No even with a new name and new management the food is still south indian taste and Not North Indian lucky for the once that like South Indian...also the new manager or owner is pretty koo!!
Food is really good. But be prepared to wait. Guess that's the price you pay for fresh homemade food.
Delicious food! Awesome service by Manoj, we will definitely be back to enjoy such authentic and tasty food!
Tried this for the first time, expensive compared to other restaurents, taste was bland. Wouldn’t be my first choice for a indian place, but will give them a try again and see.
The buffets were 11$ and was worth the money. PC: the taste is average but was definitely worth the money we pay for.!
Ordered food for dinner for family gathering. Guests felt ill after eating the food. Stomach was upset. Please don't order food from here
Biryani is a bit sweet. Not spicy like Andhra style. Expect that everything is fair.
I visited today for Lunch. Their Food was amazing. Give a try . I like it .
Good flavorful food, friendly staff and a cozy atmosphere. The above review was for Annam bistro, not this cheap knockoff.
We were so tired and went there for dinner. No one came to take the order, then we had to call them to take it. We sat there for about 45 minutes, they were busy serving other people.
My favorite place!
Got a quick take out. Momos were great. Spicy noodles were also good.
Excellent food and service. I highly recommend
I uber eats this place ALL THE TIME finally went in to actually eat at the restaurant and was blown away by amazing service. Great food, great service what else does one need??
Great food, plenty of vegetarian options, and a buffet. Considerate of covid precautions, but masks are optional currently, if recommended.
Food was good, but they are supposed to open @ 11:30 am on the weekend, the were open but not all of the food was ready until about 12:30, an hour later...
Food is good and that is all I can say. The cloth napkin smells, The wait is really really crazy and no one informs you on the wait time.
Best service. We enjoyed the papad the most. Manoj's service was very good. Had a great time. Food was hot and fresh.
Food and service were amazing! Their food tasted so authentic!
A good place for Indian food. Their buffet selections are good. They also have good variety of Indian chat items.
Best Indian food around. The flavors pop. Today we had the Buffett. It is a chill place.
Incredibly yummy, staff was kind. The garlic naan is to die for!
