Desi Kitchen

This place is 10/10. It's a small, family owned shop & you can tell how much love & care they put into their food. Their naans are piping hot from their tandoor, their biryani, chicken charga, you name it. I haven't had something from here that has ever been bad. My personal favorite is their chicken kofte. It's seriously so good, I thought they gave me beef kofte instead. Treat yourselves. Go here.

My favorite dish is the dum keemah. I didn't even know it existed before this dining experience. While the place is small and a bit hidden the food has always been a god experience

Yum. Due to the quarantine I've been experimenting with restaurants on Grub Hub. This is one restaurant that I believe offered either a $5.00 coupon perk or free delivery. I got the chicken biryani and was pleasantly surprised. Not only was it extremely tasty but it came with a side salad and plenty of sauces. The portion was HUGE. For $8.99 I got enough food for 3 Meals. They were also very generous with the pieces of meat. Overall, will be ordering from here again.

If I could give zero stars I would. My husband ordered beef Biryani and it had no meat at all. I told him that we should've just made it ourselves. It's Ramadan right now how are you gonna be stingy with the meat?! Never coming back to this location ever. He's so disappointed and so am I! Hopefully this review helps fix the problem. Step up your game or you might lose buisness from others in the future.

When it comes to Pakistani food, I'm a picky guy. You either got it or you don't. Staying in the Mission Bend area, theres quite a selection of Indo-Pak options. Lately what I've been seeing is the quality going down or not being worth the price. Desi Kitchen is an exception. The food--at least what I tried--was delicious and the price wasn't too bad either.Desi Kitchen is a hole in the wall and doesnt stand out in a strip mall that has a day care center and Message parlor. If you're driving down HWY 6 you'd probably miss it. The place is a dive and doesn't look very dine-in friendly. When I went in, the place was empty. That's cause the majority of desi's order takeout anyways and eat at home. I decided to do the same.I ordered the goat biryani, the butter chicken and two naans. Price came to about 19 bucks. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality. The Biryani was flavorful and unlike some restaurants, they didn't skim on the meat. There were several big tender meaty pieces of goat meat mixed in. The butter chicken was also flavorful and the naans were warm and fluffy.I'd definitely try the place again and see how their other offerings are. This may be my regular desi takeout spot. Give it a try.

Kind of hidden in a shopping center is a restaurant with good food, good service, and a comfortable - if no frills - atmosphere. This is not a place for ambiance and mood setting, but it feels like home and the food is a bit more nuanced than the big-batch you'll see at other Indo-Pak restaurants.Had the chicken qorma, and the chicken biriyani, and both were wonderful. The biriyani stood out to my girlfriend, while I was a big fan of the qorma.Will try more stuff on the menu, but this is a GREAT first impression! :)

My goodness. The food here is indescribably delicious. Come once and you are hooked for life. I came hungry on a Saturday. Not only did the owners open up and invite me to sit down and eat, when their dining room was closed and doing to go only orders, they gained a customer for life. This is the place to go if you are yearning for some good home cooked Kerala food. Trust me the ambiance will improve once they get going. Call ahead if you want a large order. Show up in person and allow Uncle and Aunty to bless you with the most delicious food!! Make sure you tip, cause they deserve it!!

Removing a star because the curries are more watered down now and the quantity is less. Its only one star because i like the owner and i know he's been hit hard by vandals damaging his property and the inflation everyone is facing. The food is still very good, but it just doesnt taste the same as watery as it is and theres less of it to enjoy. Plus, we should get on raita and salad for each curry, not just one for the entire order.Im sure things will improve eventually once the economy improves. God bless you, my friend.

I'm surprised that there aren't more reviews of this restaurant. This truly is a hidden gem in Houston. Always consistent with taste! The chef is just amazing! He always experiments with different dishes. My husband is Caucasian American and vegetarian. After eating Desi Kitchen, he refuses to go to any other Indian or Pakistani restaurant. Chef' dal(mixed lentils curry) is like nothing else we have ever had. Our favorites are dal, aloo palak(spinach & potatoes), okra curry, bitter melon curry, and rice pilaf with peas. My personal favorite is Malai chicken boti/kabob. I can't eat anywhere else after eating this dish here.

Worst food I have ever had, please treat people with respect by not serving this kind of trash food. Yes, the prices are less, but the quality and taste of the food are worst. People, please don't go to this restaurant. BTW I ordered chicken biryani.
