This is probably my favorite hidden gem in Houston that I have only grown fonder and fonder of over the past year I have been here due to one main reason: always available, steaming hot, karak cha (strong tea). The place is also open till 2am. So whether you need an afternoon pickup or want to satisfy a post-tarawee craving, their amazing karak cha seems to always be flowing. The staff has always been friendly, courteous and respectful. They also have all of the usual deshi snacks samosa, shingara, petties (alternatively called chicken/beef puff pastry), aloo chop that pair perfectly with that strong, steaming cup of tea.
just one disclaimer: don’t expect a coffee house vibe like filli or brass tacks (i basically just go in and out to satisfy my cha craving that only seems to be pacifiable by their unique recipe lol). the place is just a big room with a few office-room type tables with chairs near the front, two big screen TVs broadcasting news in various languages, and a couple of snooker tables in the back. also, if this matters to you, be prepared to deal with a strong desi uncle energy. just pretend you’re at a dawat and be on your best behavior and you’ll be fine as far as not unintentionally offending anyone (if the owner is by any chance reading this, would like to ask forgiveness myself if I have ever been guilty of not having the best manners with any of your patrons).

They don’t know they represent whole country. I came from Dallas today for the first time to Houston and don’t know whether this restaurant is Indian or Pakistani owned but shameful thing is they don’t have hand soap in whole store and you can see their restroom conditions.Restroom has no soap and I asked them angrily so they gave me dish soap to wash my hand after I used restroom. This means all staffs don’t use soap to wash hand after restroom? . No napkins, No soap, broken flush, unhygienic food. I will definitely complain food and safety department.

Delicious qeema and potato samosas, rolls, chicken wings and paan. We are their food somewhere and decided to pay a visit. We got some to eat there. The green sauce provided is very good. We also got some not fried samosas to take home for later. They sell them by the dozen. I’m giving four star because I don’t think this is a family atmosphere to sit and eat.

I had a terrible experience. I ordered samosas, and there was hair in them. When I complained, the older man at the front was extremely rude and unprofessional. They need to fire him and hire someone more competent.

The front desk person who is a manager and old guy. He is very very rude.
The place is not clean and the old guy charged extra amount for table tennis.
He was fighting with all the customers.
I would never ever recommend this place.
I was a regular customer here.
I request the owner of this place to take serious action with his behavior.

I’m writing it as a regular customer, I’ve tried behaving in the best possible manner but very rude ,arrogant, Illiterate and uneducated behavior towards customers by front desk management. The owner Baig sahab , needs to look after his business, it’s high time !! You can’t let your management behave this way with the customers , resolve the issue, be nice to the customers …YOUR LOSS NOT OURS . There are hundreds of restaurants nearby and places to visit . BE KIND & RESPECTFUL towards customers in order to grow your business .
