Cowboys & Indians Cuisine & Cocktails

A friend highly recommended CNI's samosas as well as several members of my foodie group have raved about the restaurant, so I came in one night to see what all the hype was about. I am so glad I did!Everything was impeccable, from the service to the food. I started with the beef samosas which were perfectly crisped to the Pakora. I did wish the crunchiness of the batter lasted longer, but nonetheless, still delicious especially with the two dipping sauces. For my entree, I ordered the short rib which was mouth-watering good! I also ordered the Brussels sprouts which the sauce that they were covered in had the perfect amount of tanginess. My son loves garlic naan with honey, and they accommodated my request to drizzle some honey on his order. He enjoyed it so much that we ordered a second one for him!Their manager, Tom, is great! He walked around to the tables and made sure everyone got what they needed, and our server was awesome as well. We will definitely be back to try the other delicious entrees!

I came here after seeing so many Instagram videos promoting this place. I thought the concept was super cool, but it didn't live up to my expectations. The restaurant itself is very cute for Instagram photos, but the food wasn't the best and the servings are small. I had the saag paneer which was loaded with paneer, just too small of a serving. Wasn't really a fan of how they seasoned it either. The service was good though. They also have a bar that looked nice inside the restaurant so may be worth coming back to check it out. Be prepared to have a tip for the valet if you come here.

We use to go a lot to the old location but today was my first time at the new location. So many great things to say about this place from the service, ambiance, and the food. This place is truly one of the best fusion restaurants you can eat at. We got the nachos, chicken fried chicken, and quesadillas. Although I wasn't a fan of the nachos, I thought everything else was very good.

One of the best happy hour places inside the loop! The food is always phenomenal. I think we got one of everything from the happy hour menu and I got the curry flight as well. It was so good we forgot to take photos. The staff is very attenative and we will definitely be back!

I came here for the Eat Drink HTX. That menu is short and sweet, but has everything that I want to get. I had the beef samosas, and pani puri for first course. I had the butter chicken and chana masala, and saag paneer and lamb vindaloo for second course. The beef samosas were crispy but the fillings were little. The pani puris were crunchy, yogurt mousse had a good flavor contrast, but the trial mix inside did not go well with the sauces. The butter chicken was cooked ok but the gravy was watery. As for the lamb, it wasn't tender and it was dry. Though there was a good amount of spiciness in the dishes, both dishes lacked the deep spice flavors in the gravies. I had the Calcutta cocktail too which was ok. Service was subpar. The male server was nowhere to be found. Then came the female server whom was more attentive. They have brunch menu on Saturday and Sunday from 11am to 3pm. There are outdoor seatings but today was too cold for that. Parking lot is small but there is street parking. Complimentary valet parking is also available just outside the restaurant.

I ordered this butter chicken through Uber Eats. It has such a great reviews, so I was looking forward to it. Unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed. I didn't think it was that good. I ordered it medium spicy, and it was much too spicy for me to truly enjoy, it wasn't as flavorful as some of the other butter chickens. I've had other places around town and it wasn't in the bag so some of it had spilled , with the Uber driver. I also ordered samosas, which were also extremely spicy. And I had also ordered a garlic naan bread. The bread was extreme definitely enough for me to eat with my meal although I ordered it through Uber Eats, I wouldn't even want to go to the actual restaurant to eat because I just didn't enjoy it enough.

Ok, I've visited enough times to say that Cowboys and Indians is good. Really good! Their menu is eclectic (Tex-Mex, Indian, and more) but you can definitely order the old faithfuls if you ask nicely. The butter chicken is great and tender. The short rib is epic in both flavor and tenderness. Everything I've tried is yummy. Ordering via phone is a bit of a struggle but they get the job done. Parking is easy which means a lot to me. It's tasty and convenient which makes me a repeat patron.Cheers!

So, a month or so after enjoying our delivery meal from Cowboys & Indians, we went in person late afternoon on a Saturday. There may have been one table occupied, we sat at the bar. The food was excellent - love the Texan/Indian fusion! I'm usually not a huge fan of Indian but I like this twist. Drawbacks: Atmosphere is lacking. It's as if they just threw some tables in there without much thought. And, although the drinks were tasty, the bartender was openly rude and generally unhelpful, unable to describe menu items. Perhaps he was having an off day, but we're unlikely to go again in person.

Stopped in for lunch, they do have separate menus for Lunch and Dinner. Chef Vinnie is such an amazing cook as well as a wonderful personality. The owner if you get the chance to meet him is someone you will find you definitely cares about his business and your experience. The vibe is very laid back, family oriented but can also be vibrant, upbeat & upscale if you choose so this venue is very versatile which I love. Perfect location for happy hour, business lunch/dinner or birthday party or wedding reception. There is a beautiful outside patio with murals that are inside as well. Naanchos - Naan topped with BBQ sauce, cheese, grilled chicken, etc...it was a nice twist on stand nachos, not as heavy but very filling. Chicken Garlic Naanwich - Wow, the coleslaw on this wich is a star! The garlic Naan filled with flavor accenting the chicken, you can't go wrong with fries, you'll probably only finish half the sandwich. Very filling. The bar is fully equipped and boy their bar menu is delicious. I went with the GOOD KARMA because who doesn't want that! So refreshing and popping with fruity flavors and tang, total delight! Definitely support this local business vs. the Tarka or other chains, you won't regret it!

Our server Rashad was fantastic! It was our first time here and he walked us through the menu and described flavors, incredibly helpful!We tried the Butter Chicken and Short rib Nihari. Both were incredibly flavorful and the short ribs slid right off the bone. The butter chicken curry is available is your preference of heat, so we liked that option. We also ordered the Naan flight to try the different varieties and enjoyed them all. Service was very attentive, food and drinks were good, and good ambience. Only reason for losing a star was the temperature... the a/c is cold here. The Manager initially adjusted it a bit for us and it did get more comfortable. But as more diners filled tables it was bounced back to cold and I wished I had brought a sweater. And, yes my male guest felt the same Can't wait to go back and try more items. This is a fabulous, neighborhood gem!
