Ghazal India Cafe is widely praised for its authentic Kerala cuisine, offering a diverse menu that includes chicken, beef, fish, and vegetarian dishes prepared with traditional flavors.

The Malabar-style biryanis and unique parathas receive particular acclaim for their distinct taste and proper portion sizes.

Unlike Desi kitchen next door that refused to sit us as they were prepping for an event tomorrow, Ghazal not only switched on their entire guest seating area while they had an event, but accommodated my 3.5 yo and myself very well as the only non-event patrons. Would go, again!

It's the best! Somebody said that all they have is chicken, it's COMPLETELY wrong. They serve authentic Kerala food, they have great beef, chicken, fish and veggies, variety and special dishes with all these. The thing is you can find a dish you'd like better, you don't have to be stuck with spicy fish curry, you can get mango fish curry or fish fry (pan fry), so that's great as well. Really yummy and authentic Kerala food, which we cannot find anywhere here in Texas, and compared to many other US Indian restaurants, their food is the best! Great venue for events and parties. Great consumer service! Lots of space! Really spacious, there are 3 huge rooms for different groups. They do mainly catering, but you're welcome to eat there, it's usually very quiet and nice, unless of course there's a party in the hall, you can hear stuff through microphones but not too distributing. The food is super super super great, did I mention that already?! It tops all the other restaurants here since it's made with fresh ingredients!

I ordered a boneless chicken biriyani, and the portion size was adequate. It had an appropriate amount of chicken in it. Very authentic Kerala taste.

The best Kerala restaurant in the Houston area. Authentic and delicious. Make sure you try the paratha. Biriyanis are unique and different from what you typically get in an Indian restaurant because it is made Malabar style.

I went here on 09/22/18 after finding this restaurant on google. The food was amazing and the staff were very attentive. There were 3 parties going on at the same time and my friend and i along with another table were the only guest dining in. However, the servers never forgot about us and they checked on us frequently. We ordered several dishes and we shared it among 2 people. We ordered Keral Porotta, Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Varutharacha Curry, Goat Curry and White Rice. We asked for the dishes to be spicy. I love spicy food so I thought by asking for it to be spicy it would have a lot of kick to it. It didn't even with the added spice. So if you want to try it a little more spicy you can and will still be fine. We also ordered 2 sodas. Our total came out to be about 38. Definitely a reasonably priced restaurant. We could all easily spend that amount on one meal by ourselves. Of the 3 dishes, my favorite was the Tikki Masala. Then the goat Curry. The next time I go, I will try the curry fish. The food was amazing. I would recommend everybody give this place a try, it is definitely a hidden gem.
