Rio Verde Cafe - Houston

I submitted a few reviews, and as always, this restaurant serves amazing food. The flavors are exceptional. They have the best Samosas I've ever tasted. The crispy lamb is a must-try, and the garlic naan is simply delightful. This place is definitely a must-visit in Houston. The owner personally takes your order and makes excellent recommendations based on your preferences.

We hosted a party at our home and ordered catering from Himalaya, and it was a tremendous success! Our guests absolutely loved the food, and many took leftovers home. It was delicious and perfectly balanced—not too spicy at all! Thank you for your warm hospitality, and we look forward to using your services for future events!

My friends and I also tried the goat masala, which was by far my favorite dish! It was packed with robust flavors and just the right amount of spices to give a little kick, but not too overwhelming. The goat meat was incredibly tender—literally fork-tender! Pair it with some garlic naan for dipping, and wow! It was amazing! We also got the grilled BBQ special combo plate, which had several different types of meat. I can’t recall everything, but most of it was really tasty—very delicate and juicy. It's definitely worth a try! I expected this meal to energize us, but instead, it left me in a serious food coma! Haha, but honestly, that's not a bad thing; only good food can do that! The owner himself was taking orders and he was super friendly. I’ll definitely try to come back more often. If you want to get the full experience, I recommend arriving a bit before lunch. The place filled up quickly, even for a Tuesday!

On my To-go order there was a little waiting time (Friday-Dinner-Rush). They gave me a free delicious and very appreciated samosa while I was waiting. The food was some of the best I ever had. I never buy fried chicken again. This is a great restaurant and I look forward to my next visit.

Extremely tasty, but hard on the system. Staff was friendly and food was quality. Overall cleansliness wasn’t up to 5-star standards, but I would still go back based on flavor and cultural experience.
