  Ordered chicken noodles, chicken fried rice, and chicken Manchurian to go. Instead, I received egg noodles with a spoiled egg, chicken fried rice that also seemed to contain expired egg, and Gobi Manchurian instead of chicken Manchurian. One of the worst experiences I’ve had—extremely careless and disappointing. Hard to imagine a restaurant being more irresponsible.

  Food was cold and microwaved. Basmatti rice was dry and microwaved. They made chopping sound effects, from the semi-open kitchen to make it sound like they were actually cooking the food. Nobody there can speak Any English. I'm really trying Not to be culturally insensitive here, but people have a financial right to be forewarned Before they lack the common sense to pick ANY other Indian place in Katy Or Houston than coming here. We asked for a refund, and said we wanted to leave because the food wasn't hot, and they couldn't comprehend a word we said. Finally, we simply left like eighty bucks short, since they make you pay BEFORE you even consume one grain of rice. If you value your hard earned money,.......JUST DON'T!

  Never again. We dined in and waited a VERY long time for our food. Atmosphere is uninviting and the kitchen staff is the same as the server…so there was no server in site for most of the time we were there…which meant we couldn’t even get another can (yeah can) of soda as we waited forever for our food. The food was below average and pricey for the portions. Not EVER going back. I predict this place won’t last long as the owner needs some serious lessons on how to run a restaurant here in the U.S.

  One of the best places in Houston for Indian food! Spice Mantraa truly stands out for being affordable and great value for money. The quality of the food is consistently good, and everything feels fresh and well-prepared. What makes this place special is the warm, family-like atmosphere. The staff are incredibly friendly and treat you like family rather than just customers. The food has a real homemade taste, and you can tell it’s cooked with care. I especially appreciate that they use very little oil, which is a big concern for me when eating out — but not here. Highly recommend if you’re looking for tasty, healthy, and reasonably priced food in Houston! 👍

  Do not recommend. I was cheated during a self-pickup order—received more than 30% less than the advertised quantity for a family-pack Chicken Biryani. When I reported the issue, the manager responded with rude and unprofessional behavior, stating that the advertised 64 OZ quantity does not necessarily match the OZ quantity delivered (41 OZ). Very disappointing experience. Update based on feedback: No customer is expected to bring a scale to a pickup; there is an inherent trust that the advertised weight matches the delivery. However, when weighed, the container was only 41 oz instead of the promised 64 oz. When I reported this by phone, I was told this discrepancy is 'normal,' which suggests a known and systemic issue. You are free to use any packaging you choose, but the product weight must be accurate. Once that trust is broken, the relationship is over. Consider this a cautionary note for others.
