I really enjoyed the food here, I think it would be safe to say it was the best goat biriani that I've had, they brought fresh naan to our table, it was a buffet , selection was decent, location and atmosphere was good for me. Lunch buffet on Saturday was $19.99.

I visit Houston 2-4 times a year for family and job reasons, and recently started exploring Pakistani cuisine in the area. Tampura Buffet stands out as the best Pakistani buffet I’ve tried so far. Each dish is made with authentic spices and tastes as close to homemade as possible. The meat in all the dishes is juicy, tender, and has the right texture—not overly soft and limp, but perfect for enjoying every bite. The service is also outstanding; the staff is extremely attentive, ensuring your table is clean and your bread basket is full. I loved the place and will definitely return. If you're looking for genuine Pakistani food, visit Tampura Buffet and support a business that offers delicious food at a fair price.

Had an awesome dinner at Tempura with our close friend yesterday! The buffet had such yummy options, the taste was on point, and the service was great too! Giving it 4 stars because of the missing Wi-Fi, unlike places like Aga's that usually offer it. Hopefully, they'll add it for an even better experience!

We went here as guest. I was really looking forward to it. I would always see a pack of people coming here but buffet was never my thing. Anyways the display and presentation was good. Servers were very prompt to refill. Everything looked scrumptious. But when I tried the food it had no taste. Almost everything tasted the same regarding spice level. It was not spicy nor hot. Just some bland food. I liked the kabab. It was soft and juicyI had it with the green chili deep which gave it some zing to it. Others said the same too. I didn’t try the paya but family said it was good soup. Suji halwa was good with fried bread. Tea was good according to friends. I love they have a separate salat/prayer area. Everything was neat and clean. However there was some water dripping from the ceiling. Later it crushed down. Luckily the manager told us to move as they anticipated it will burst and fall down. It did after we moved from there. Plenty of space for wheel chair friends. Also for kids who are in strollers.
