"This a completely vegetarian Indian restaurant ironicly right next to a meat shop and deli. My husband and I live two hours from Woodlands but it 's more than worth the travel and gas. The food is like magic and we moan with pleasure and grin like idiots while eating. The Kofta, which are spiced potato 'meatballs ' in a tomato curry sauce sprinkled with fresh parsley and cilantro, are so marvelous the English language suddenly seems clumsy and incompetent and falls hopelessly short. The samosas are applause worthy, they are potatoes, peas, coriander, and turmeric in a deep fried triangular pastry served with chili-tamarind sauce. The coconut rice is over priced but still very hard not to get and we 're always trying to figure out what the little balls in it are. They don 't taste like peppercorns but they are about that size, whatever they are they 're good. The waiter seems deeply depressed and never smiles but is not rude. The restaurant is relatively small and cute and always has lovely Indian music playing. The menu is a very good size and the portions are generous but not ridiculous. Even the fried food is never greasy and you always feel good when you leave. It 's mostly Indian people eating here so that tells me it 's probably pretty authentic cooking. It 's not vegan friendly, there 's only about two dishes without dairy but that is what Indian food is known for. I introduced my husband to this place and he 'd never tried Indian food before, but now this is where he demands to be brought every year for his birthday. Even my four year old loves it! Can 't say enough good things about this place. It had better always stay in business."

"really delicious Indian food in cranberry. I didn't order much today, but everything I had was more than satisfactory. today's order consisted of channa bhatura (chickpea curry with big puffy brot) and kheer. the actual kicherbsenkur was very good. I'm sure the full channa masala meal is also amazing because the soße has for me exactly the right amount of seasoning, which is great because I couldn't find a way to add seasoned online. there were big cockerbsen in the curry and it was not too oily. his toppings were interesting: cilantro and rohe wobbles. not a big fan of tweeting. also the part of the curry is a little small. the Bhatura-Brot, on the other hand, was very big and as the description said it was quite puffy! some parts of broth were on the oily side, others were crispy. I think it was perfect overall close. it is particularly delicious when they warm it up; then the tasteful oil and salt is more obvious what I enjoy. it gets a bit crispy when it warms. I loved the guy. usually my way to Indian dessert gulab jamun. but I have heard that tamarinds gulab jamuns are very small and are not worth the price. the Kheer share was fair for the price (not small, not big) it was super creamy and sweet! I loved the addition of all nuts, such as cashews and rusts as well as some other almost juicy fruits. overall I have tamarind on my cranberry radar. eating is not too expensive and it is high quality. Although I have not tried much, I can still say that it is a solid restaurant that I would recommend."
