Palette Indian Kitchen

10/19/2025. Visited this East Indian restaurant solo. The menu covers the typical range of masalas and curries, but the vegetarian and vegan selection is notably large, taking up an entire page. Spice levels were clearly labeled, which is helpful for ordering. I started with the Gobi, a fried cauliflower appetizer in ... a tangy, spiced sauce. It was light and fluffy, serving as a good, non-meat starter. The heat was mild and didn't linger. The dish included onions, bay leaves, cilantro garnish, and small components that appeared to be jalapeño skins. For the main course, I had the Mixed Vegetable Chettinaad, which was delicious. It's a peppercorn and coconut curry with a solid mix of vegetables, including carrots, peas, potatoes, and both green and red peppers. I would 100% eat that main dish again. The garlic naan I ordered wasn't crunchy, but the flavor was excellent, making it better than other naan I’ve had. Service from the server, Sai, was good; he was friendly and willing to talk about the menu. The ambiance featured background jazz music, which was pleasant, although I think some mellow Indian instrumental music would better suit the overall theme. It looks like they handle a high volume of takeout orders. I'd definitely return here. Read More

Palette is one of our faves! Always the kindest, most attentive staff. The freshest food (the assorted naan bread basket is to DIE FOR!), and my personal favorite is the specialty Chicken Jalfrezi, shown below - delish! You won't be disappointed!

This was my second time at Palette and I can confidently say it’s become one of my favorite spots in the area. The service is attentive and friendly. The ambience is peaceful and clean. The food is excellent- we loved the buffet and first time and had chicken biryani for dinner. Will be coming back!

First visit and we were not disappointed. Two at the table scarfed so fast I couldn’t get a photo! Butter chicken, lamb korma, and lamb biriyani. With garlic naan - all delicious!

We had the lunch buffet and ordered some items from the menu. Every single item tasted fresh with well balanced spices. The chicken and paneer were soft. Coconut rice was flavorful. Dosa’s were crispy with tasty sambar and chutneys. My kids loved the paneer tikka pizza. Place is clean and has ample parking. The ... standout dish was the chicken lollipops with chef’s special sauce. The sauce was so good, i could buy a whole jar of it. I have been to a ton of Indian restaurants, palette has to be my new favorite spot in Houston. I will definitely be visiting again. Highly recommend 10/10 for authentic Indian flavors. Read More

This is by far the best Indian Food in North Houston and possibly the whole city! We have been coming here from the beginning and love it. The owners are such amazing and caring people. I highly recommend trying it out! EDIT. I have had the honor and blessing of knowing the owners for years now and again blessed to ... work with them on new photos and video for the menu. I can not speak highly enough about these good people and amazing food. Read More

Went for the lunch buffet. Definitely coming back! The food was incredible and they had so many options. It was a wonderful way to try many different dishes. The people were so nice as well.

The service, as well as the food, were simply superb. Of the best Indian food I've ever had. My husband who is vegan, was especially happy about the dishes with tofu.

Love it! I literally tried a bit of every dish on the lunch buffet and liked/loved them. This is great for someone who likes to try new things or just doesn't know how to order these dishes--me. As per usual, be aware of the little bones in some meat dishes. Great selection of vegetarian and meat dishes. Full menu ... is available. Oh, and the Taj Mahal beer is excellent. Read More
