Pondicheri

Love this amazing Indian restaurant that even serves breakfast ! Amazing naan , pani poori, paneer Frankie and Texas beer flight . Check out the bakery and cafe upstairs.

Try gluten-free Indian food in a traditional indian thali at pondicheri. Their paneer curry , pumpkin-coconut curry , smoky eggplant , sautéed greens, dal, pickled apples , kheer with naan is delicious!

I read on culture map that all the awesome pastries are going to be available upstairs once they finish building out their bakery up top. Try the Sayel Lamb !

We recommend you visit for brunch or breakfast , and start with the Hopper, a Sri Lankan inspired, crisp coconut , chia seed and rice shell filled with masala eggs and a peanut + coconut + spinach salad Read more

Please go here! Breakfast is amazing and fresh. Love their lunch burgers both chicken and lamb . Great drinks and good amount of outside eating space.

Very low key place, perfect for a mellow night. Interior will relax you and the outdoor patio is chill too. Oh and amazing organic juices . I split the Habi and the Naka with my best friend. Delicious.

Can’t-miss dishes include the breakfast Thali sampler (an invigorating Indian smorgasbord ), the lamb mint burger , and shortbread pistachio cookies . Read more

Watch for the coveted booths . Special breakfast menu during weekends: brioche ! It's a must. The thali is delish, but gets rather spicy . Oatmeal & yogurt are both surprising and tasty.

Can't go wrong with the butter chicken and a side of naan bread . Off the menu , try the black drum fish . It's awesome!

Don't miss: Breakfast Thali ; Frankies (roti wrap sandwiches ); Bostok pastry ; Pondi bar ; Earth Thali of local and seasonal vegetables ; Friday vindaloo ribs special. Read more

Order the shrimp chutney salad with cilantro chutney sautéed shrimp , roasted beets , avocado & mango AND Texas shrimp chaat with pickled shrimp , roasted corn , avocado , and black salt. THE BEST! Read more

Elevated Indian street food and well executed fusion. Really tasty. Definitely worth a visit

In addition to all the hoity-toity fusion stuff on the menu, they perfectly execute a butter chicken with the right amount of heat.

The bake lab upstairs has awesome treats and even some savory items if you want a more cafe experience rather than restaurant .

Don't let the swankiness fool you, the food is damn good. Breakfast and lunch are counter service while dinner is tableside. [Eater 38 Member]

Anita is the most amazing and creative Chef in the USA. Her fare is extremely delicious and the true India's offerings of wonderful food!

Pondicheri has Houston's only "pondi exchange," a delivery system based on the tiffin carriers of India. For a $25 deposit, get takeout in sleek, stacked steel containers.

Healthy food with a casual vibe and good flavor. A great way to introduce someone to Indian food who may be scared.

Wonderful place. We chose to celebrate our anniversary here and told them so. They kindly gave us free dessert !

You might not expect it because of the location and the awesome interior design , but this place does pretty solid food. No need to haul yourself to Hillcroft- ingredients here are really fresh.

Go the the bakery upstairs after your meal for tea & something sweet.

Edgy food, and great beers .. The best dishes are often street-food appetizers and thali combination plates. Indian food with atmosphere.

Go upstairs for the bake bar - and try all of it

Everything. Must get Madras Coffee and chai pie .

Fried chicken in “The Texan” makes a filling breakfast . Green dosa is great as well !

Inside track : On Tuesdays, the fried-chicken platter for two puts a clever Indian spin on a Deep South classic. Read more

I had the Earth thali , so tasty and spicy ! 😋😋😋

Best butter chicken !! Also visit the bake lab (lemon tarts ) and order fresh orange juice

Breakfast thalis are amazing!! Meatless Monday started today. Wish they had table service all day instead of counter in the a.m. But favorite place in west ave.

Vegan options ! Everything was delicious and the cocktails are great.

Great food. Their Indian sweets and snacks are even better. Bit pricy but worth a visit once in a while

If you like spicy , go for the Sayel Lamb . It's good with a cool glass of their mint lemonade .

Vishnu Thali plate is to die for! Great outdoor seating on a breezy day!

You cannot go wrong with any of their delicious cookies . Also obsessed with the mango soda with fresh blueberries :9

They also sell spice mixes and different oils as well in the bake lab upstairs .

The Buddha burger is the best veggie burger I've ever had.

Unique modern indian food . Try the thalis !

For me is The best Indian restaurant in Houston

The morning thali is excellent. Parking is slim, though, so time accordingly.

Gulab jaman donut - delicious

Awesome food - very affordable - great service - try the Chicken Frankie

Thali and lamb mint burger was really good

The bake lab produces some of the most imaginative confections and their breakfast is crave worthy!

Unusual Indian food . Quinoa khichri is yum!

The paneer curry is yummy!!!

Deliciously traditional with a twist...
