The Monk's- Heights

Carryout place only. Buyer beware. Extremely expensive for very small portions!! Ordered the ta doori chicken for $17.00 and I literally think they gave me a pigeon. This is the smallest chicken legs and thighs I've seen in my life. Literally less than $1.50 worth of actual poultry. Good Indian cuisine is hard to find and you will not find it here. Definitely the last time I'm ordering from this place. Very disappointed.

I've only ever ordered from here, but the food is always really great. The butter chicken is so creamy and has that perfect, balanced sweetness. It's maybe my favorite butter chicken out of all of the many butter chickens I have had. The green chili chicken is also a favorite. It comes with plenty of thinly sliced jalapeños for an extra kick. Good contrast to the creaminess of the other curries. The samosas are good, softer than they are crispy, and served with a tasty sauce. My comfort food 😋

Update: I flew back here to Houston after a long gap and the first thing I did was order food from you guys. I absolutely love love love the taste, quality and presentation. Vijaywada biryani is top class and chicken dynamite although a bit different than I remember, it’s still good. Huge compliments to the chef and the owner. Previous review: Hands down my favorite restaurant in Houston! My regular order being vijayawada chicken biryani and dynamite chicken is just the best 2 dishes from my favorite restaurant! It's a pick up or delivery location only no dine in

DO NOT GO! I wanted to try this place. I have to say that the food is bad. I purchased spring rolls,malai chicken and butter chicken. The eggrolls were raw on the inside, the malai chicken was supposed to be garlicky but it was all onions! Both entrees were dark thigh meat and had hardly any chicken. I waited 22 minutes to receive cold rice, raw eggrolls and cheaply made entrees(thigh meat, watery sauce and barely any meat). For 39.29.

We came in thinking that there’s seating inside and we were wrong. Even though the wait was not short, the food was so delicious that the wait was worth it. I loved tikka masala with chicken. The chicken was perfectly tender, juicy and the sauce was flavorful, creamy, tangy, with a hint of heat. Garlic naan was another star. Super soft with a bit of chew, bursting with garlic flavor. We also got manchuria, which is fried rice with chicken and lots of spice. This will be our go to indian take out place. The momos was our least favorite, too spicy and not much filling.
