Mayuri Express

The taste of the chicken biryani is off. It's bland but also a little spicy. And the rice was a little mushy/overcooked. But the chicken tikka masala, the gulab jammun, and the mango lassi were very good.

I'm no Indian food expert, so I don't want to be too definitive in my statements regarding the quality of a restaurant in a food court of the downtown Houston tunnel system. What I can say is that the line is always long at lunchtime, with many Indian employees of downtown offices present, so it is at least decent enough for them to dine there compared to other options.This location offers your basic Indian selections such as chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, chicken vindaloo, goat curry, biryani, and different kinds of dosa, with all meals coming in relatively decent portions . On this occasion, I got the chicken tikka masala, which was decent, though I wished the flavor and spice had been a bit more notable. The naan was excellent (and in my experience, almost always is). For a quick, relatively cheap (~$9) meal that I am able to obtain by walking from my building without having to go outdoors, this place gets the job done.

The food from here never disappoints and while I've never been, Uber Eats delivers. Always hot, large portions fair price and delicious. Great choiceswe have not had anything we regretted! It is our go to place for Indian food!

Our team went here for team lunch and good thing we came early! Around 12 pm, the line is out the door! It's out the door for a reason. The food is really good and is packed with flavor. It tastes really authentic and the price is great. Getting a lunch under $10 in downtown Houston is a miracle. My lunch was $9.73 with tax. The staff are quick and so the line moves pretty fast. This place is the only place in the plaza with a line, which says something about their food. I would for sure come back again if I ever forget to bring my lunch from home haha.

Always delicious! The Nan is irresistible its made fresh hot every day! The butter chicken is my favorite

I took a break in Houston Tunnels. I got lunch at Mayuri. I ordered Biryani around $8. The portion was big. But it was so spicy for me. Due to COVID, many stores and restaurants are closed. Hope Mayuri can survive!

This authentic and flavorful lunch spot should be a staple for anyone around downtown. The value is also great here and super fast

A GREAT spot for lunch in the tunnels.Head's up, the line is generally 10x longer than other spots nearby, so make sure you add some time to wait. It's worth it.The goat and chicken were tender and juicy. Highly recommend.

It's been a few months since my last visit because I've been packing food from home. I forgot to bring lunch so I had a chance to go back into the tunnels to grab Mayuri's.I always get the chicken biryani. This time I noticed a big difference from the last time. There's noticeably less of the colored rice, the reds, orange, and yellows that mark the rice, just a lot of plain white rice. The lime wedge was smaller and there was less sliced onion, shrinkflation strikes again!The coup de grace? I found a 1 inch-ish long hair in my biryani. That kind of grossed me out. To spare your stomach, I won't attach the photo I took.I'm sure the hair was a fluke, but unfortunately I can't give Mayuri the 5 stars based on its current offering.

They run out of food at 12:15 everyday. Blows my mind how a place downtown open only for lunch runs out every single day, 100% of days of food at 12:15. You'd think management would be more competent to have enough of the goat curry or something else until end of lunch. I've never seen such a poorly run restaurant in the most basic level of even having food available
