Best ribs I’ve ever had!!! I’m celiac and I ordered the ribs with bbq and broccoli. I didn’t see it advertised but they do have a separate menu for gluten sensitive food items. The ribs were SO good. Only bad part of our experience is as we were getting ready to leave, there was a homeless guy banging on the restaurants doors/ windows. Nobody seemed to bat an eye so maybe that’s not out of the ordinary. Little scary but other than that, 100% recommend this place

The owner was super nice. Great customer service, they explained the different sauces and how they could be used for the dish. The Magic idlis were very scrumptious and we'll seasoned and paired well with the more creamy sauce. The stuffed idlis were very delicious as well, with the curry inside I felt like I could eat them without sauce at all and the fact that both idlis were made with rice is fantastic! I started loving samosas because of whole foods but Flying Idlis took it to a whole new level. The Crepe was huge and we'll seasoned, honestly all the meals were huge and could have been eaten by themselves. The price point on these meals can not be beat in comparison to other offerings and the density of nutrition is astounding we were full for hours. They add an amazing Vegan and Gluten free option to the city that I have come to enjoy. 😀😋

We went during Houston’s restaurant week and wow I was blown away. The service was top tier to start off and the food was immaculate. I’d like to preface that I have a gluten and dairy intolerance and the server was kind enough to accommodate this. Mind you I hate to feel like I’m being difficult but he made me feel like it was no problem at all. He was so sweet and friendly. I had the short ribs as the 1st course, 2nd course was the steak with green beans, and finished the meal with a limoncello gelato. This is probably the best steak I’ve ever had. Everything tasted so delicious and was cooked to perfection. This experience was definitely a memorable one.

Ate here every morning as part of my stay at the Hotel and honestly it might be the best part of my stay. Food was divine whether from the full buffet or ordered off the menu! Service was exemplary. They grow their own herbs on site and use local goods for eggs and such. They also have gluten free and vegan options which was a huge plus.
