One of the best Indian/Pakistani places in the city, located in Houston's Gandhi (Little India) district. This restaurant has been featured by Anthony Bourdain and many other magazines, but you can say you've been coming here since before it was cool. BYOB. (If the wait is too long, try English-pub inspired London Sizzler in the same shopping plaza!)
