“ Monk's has been my top choice for Indian cuisine in Houston for quite some time, so when they opened a location in Humble, I couldn’t have been more excited. Fortunately, the experience has lived up to expectations every single time. The restaurant offers a fantastic selection of dishes, all bursting with bold, authentic flavors. The Indo-Chinese style fried rice and noodles are standout options, each bite as flavorful as the last. The biryanis are perfectly spiced and incredibly aromatic, and I can’t recommend the non-veg starters enough — they’re consistently outstanding. For a refreshing finish, the mango lassi and masala tea are both excellent choices. The servers are always friendly and accommodating, making the overall dining experience even better. Monk’s in Humble has quickly become my go-to spot for satisfying, high-quality Indian food in the area. Whether you’re a regular or a first-timer, you're sure to be impressed. ”
“ Yesterday, our ongoing trip from Houston got cancelled due to weather and we were forced to spend a night over. By the time we got through all the formalities of hotel and rental car. It was closer to 10 PM. We called the restaurant and asked them to see if they can accommodate four of us, and we will try and be there before they close. We reached 10 minutes prior to closing and they accommodated us. We saw the cooks and most of the staff leaving and assumed the worst and thought you would get some stale food. But surprisingly, the food was excellent. cold Taj beer, followed by hot garlic naan, tandoori roti and We ordered the Paneer Kadai, chettinad spicy chicken, and chicken biryani. Biriyani totally floored me as it was fluffy and spicy, and so tasty that we went gaga over it and completely wiped the plates clean. The guys behind the counter, very helpful, cheerful, and had the patience to take eight of our meal vouchers given by United and they entered of the credit cards manually. All in all, highly recommended, both for the food, the ambience, and a good nature folks behind the counter. Five stars all the way!!!! ”
“ Absolutely love this place first time here and definitely coming back. Great prompt service from Navneeth. The dynamite chicken, paneer saag, street-style fried rice, spicy masala noodle, monks special fries, shrimp vindaloo highly recommend. ”
“ 5 STARS ALL DAY!! Navaveeth was our waiter and he was AMAZING! It was my friend’s birthday. From the moment we walked in I was greeted warmly and treated as a VIP. Love the atmosphere. The place was clean and I loved the decor. Perfect for a quick lunch, girls evening, business lunch or just bringing the family for delicious food. Omggg the food.. Amazing! We ordered the monk’s special fries, samosas, tandoori chicken, butter masala paneer, garlic naan and my friends had a Jack Daniel’s and coke and a glass of wine. Service was impeccable but that food was amazing. It was my first time here but we felt welcomed and had a great time. Food was so good and spiced just right. If you want it spicer or less spicy they can accommodate. Truly a gem in humble and lucky for them a standout with all the bland food options around. Soooo good!! We want to take Navaveeth to a party. He as so freaking cool! ”
