Saturday, 01OCT2021, was the (Indian) festival of the Chariot, a downtown display of the Hare Krishna sect of Indian Hinduism. Recently, I spent several months exploring that amazing country and was ready to once again enjoy the incredible tastes/sights/sounds/spirits. I’ll admit, the Northern Chihuahua Desert is a pretty far cry from the Subcontinent, but there was good effort…! Instead of enjoying the advertised free meal, my wife & I sought Indian food at a bona fide Indian restaurant on the West side. The marquee is a bit faded, but the even street number [4410 N. Mesa] places it on the Northside of Mesa and close (half-mile/km) West of the junction with Executive Center. This standalone building has a surprisingly large customer capacity/seating/tables on the perimeter of the centralized cooking area. Despite this cursed COVID19/delta variant still ravaging/hospitalizing/killing primarily unvaccinated persons, the Governor proclaimed no more required masking up, but this fine eatery/staff were still observing the common sense practices of masks/social distancing (as much as possible)/hand washing in addition to receiving inoculations. I had called ahead with my order; usually no less than a ~40 minute window is required for the fresh/delicious preparation, and I waited about 40 minutes inside, turning our phone order into a take out meal. It was a bit congested inside this clean establishment; we stayed masked/socially distanced, using the sanitary bathrooms (soap/running water available, but no paper towels for drying hands) and remained cautious. The food is fresh & delicious, the staff friendly/helpful/perhaps a bit overwhelmed as there is a near-continuous flow of transactions, both in-person/on-line/pickup/take away. I certainly give this excellent eatery my coveted “¡Wheel of Approval!”

I just went here last night and it was super good! The food is amazing and tastes very tradition which me and my family like! The staff are nice and the wait time wasn’t too bad. Highly recommend if you’re looking for some Indian food! (The butter chicken was my favorite)

My first experience with Indian food - and I’m definitely coming back!!! I am not one for spice and have always heard Indian food is extremely spicy, but they make your dishes to your preferred spice level. Friendly servers and so accommodating! Highly recommend - and make sure you get pakura!!

The food quality and taste is the only draw for this Indian restaurant. The food is absolutely delicious!!! The other reviews do not exaggerate. I could not stop eating and left feeling stuffed with yummy food. You will just need to deal with very slow, spotty service and an atmosphere that is dated and a tad grimy. We had garlic naan, cheese naan, chicken vindaloo (spicy), and chicken curry (spicy). The dishes were perfect, although the spice level is more mild than other traditional Indian places. They didn’t have any unsweet tea, which I hear is great. I tried the strawberry and mango tea but they were not good and tasted super sweet. The servers looked like they were struggling to keep up with all the tables. The bathroom and the area around the bathroom stunk really bad and was gross. But otherwise, I think the food is so good that it’s worth putting up with the downsides of this place.

It was one of those nights where we wanted to try something new, and this place didn’t disappoint at all. This was my first experience with Indian food, and I definitely want to try some more of their food! The servers were very nice and attentive, even though they seemed to be understaffed. Wait time for appetizer was around 8 minutes and the main dishes came soon after. The food was very good!! We got Spicy Lamb Curry and Medium Hot Chicken Curry (both decently spicy; couldn’t tell the difference..). The Chilli chicken appetizer was tasty but very chewy and rubbery, and the rice was bland, but the super delicious garlic Naan bread and the curry dishes easily made up for it. The high prices in the menu worried me at first, but it was worth it in the end.

The best Indian food I have had in a very long time. I can't wait to try more things off the menu!!!!!

We were welcomed upon entering the restaurant. There was tall young lady who ushered and served us. We had goat curry and plain Nan. The goat was delicious so as the Nan. They took the order and served food very promptly. They refilled the drinks without asking. We enjoyed our dinner in India Hut.

I got the butter chicken and fried vegetables. I started eating the butter chicken and it was delicious but then I opened the sauce for the vegetables and there was a bug in it. Like a little beetle. I couldn't eat anymore of the food after since I was so grossed out. I tried calling and they don't answer me. It's a shame because I spent $22 on just my meal and I don't get to eat out often because I don't have the disposable income to. I wish they would at least give me a refund or something because that's honestly inexcusable.

Came to eat here today I order and the plate that I order wasn’t available, but I decided to give the Chili chicken a try and honestly it was the BEST plus the prices are so affordable!! I would totally recommend this place to friends and family

Tried this place out today for the first time and it was so delicious. The service was a little slow but it was worth the wait. My favorite was the fresh garlic naan. So happy we found our new spot for curry. Craving fulfilled!

Really good freshly made food. We came for the buffet which was excellent and had lots of vegetarian options, and then came back for the dinner selections. It is reasonably priced, and everything tasted delicious. Can't wait to bring my friends here!

This is the best Indian Restaurant in El Paso. I enjoy the food. They have best taste of Indian Spices. They have many options and they come under budget. The customer service is very good and the service is great. I often go there with my friends and they also like it. You need to wait little longer but your wait is satisfactory. I really recommend you to try this place with your family and friends.

The food is excellent, the facility is an older building that they've converted into and Indian restaurant. It's well worn. But once you get the food and all the wonderful flavors that entails, you immediately forget about the decor and just salivate over the culinary treats before you. Located just off of Mesa, not very well lit so follow your GPS and you should be fine. Enjoy and Bon Appetit! 😋😋😋

Everything is cooked to order so the wait time is my only issue here but it’s well worth it! Coming from the Bay Area, CA it’s hard finding good Indian food in Texas but this place never disappoints! My go to order is Butter Chicken, cheese naan, samosas and I recommend getting two portions of rice so you can enjoy the left over butter chicken sauce.

Buffet is FIRE

This place was absolutely amazing! Highly recommend the samosas and the Navratan Korma. The people are also so nice!

Amazing food with great friendly staff. The Chicken Curry was great. The Gulab Jamun dessert mmmm wow!!!

Nice neighbourhood restaurant. Very friendly staff. Good food

Me and my husband were looking at this place for a couple of months we where very skeptical being that Indian food is not something that’s really know in El Paso. We should’ve came sooner ! This place is absolutely amazing, from the customer service to the food to pretty much everything! I will definitely be coming again , I even took a menu home to be prepared the next time I come. Definitely worth the drive if you don’t live by this place! I’d give 10 stars if I could !

The food is so amazing with a large variety. The price for the lunch buffet is great. A wonderful experience overall

$9.99 all you can eat lunch buffet and the food is wonderful.

Food was good, samosas were freshly fried. Garlic naam was soft and awesome

Very good food. People should taste this food and we'll want to come back again. But the desert were OK. They need to make more India deserts. I would love to try new deserts from there region.

Excellent food! Hot, fresh, tasty. Definitely recommend and will return.

Great food! Friendly service and the ability to bring your own bottle of wine make this place spectacular.

Very bad service. After ordering our food and waited for almost an hour and after multiple requests to bring the food ASAP, waiter comes and says some of the items we orders are not available. After that chef comes and says if we rush him he cannot give good food. In which world 1 hour is a rush. Tables are not cleaned and flies all over the place. Very bad experience... I wish i can give no stars at all..

The vegetarian food is very delicious!

Food was good decent. It took them almost an hour to cook it so know it was fresh. I little of bit pricey for what it was. The place was kind of dark and old. They could use a remodeling done to it.

Cozy Indian restaurant for non-indians.

*Scam Hut - DELIVERY orders BEWARE I paid 14$ for a very small cup of rice and some soup. The rice was NOT enough. I was expecting one of those stryo foam plates of rice for 14$, but instead got a cats bowl worth of rice- definitely a scam. You're better off buying from another store. Also, I had to add salt to the sauce to make it taste good. I bought delievery from a different Indian store before and it was cheaper with more rice. I recommend there -> India palace ( gonna need to add salt as well but at least it's a full dinner.) I was still hungry after spending 14$ from India hut total scam. I got chicken curry.

Nice delicious food at India Hut, lovely restaurant, food was fresh and delicious. Coming from California and visiting this place, there is no other authentic Indian restaurant around, loves this restaurant, also drank tea after having no Tea for 5 days. As there is no place here where you can go and have an Indian tea. Will visit again

We went with a big party and were seated quickly. We all ordered different plates and each one was delicious. The service was great and we were checked on frequently. The chicken in our plates was cooked well and the spices were not over powering. The plates may seem small but they are not. We all got full. Definitely going back!

Amazing food ! the flavors are wonderful. It was my first time trying indian food and i have discovered my new favorite food. i tried it yesterday and i loved it so much i’m going back today. You need to experience their food at least once!

Food was VERY delicious, definitely worth making the trip from the NE. Service was also great, considering it was mostly just the one lady and the lunch rush was just starting. we got the veggie samosas, chicken Tikka Masada, butter chicken, and kadai chicken, along with regular Naan, butter Naan, and chili Naan. the chicken dishes were mild, definitely would go with the spicy option bc the mild wasn't spicy at all. the chili Naan was spicier than the mild option. the mango Lassi was delicious as well, and the Chai tea was so so yummy.

Food took awhile to come out. Server was very attentive & sweet. Food was very fresh but not my favorite. My lunch date enjoyed their dishes though. We ordered the pastry ball dessert, samosas, chicken tikka masala, curry goat, with teas. Don’t forget the garlic naan it’s hot and delicious. Spent $44 total so not bad

So don’t judge a book by it’s cover. We had been hesitant to go because of the look of the building. We read the reviews and decided that we should be the judge ourselves. Had not had Indian food in a long time and we were craving something different so we decided to eat here. WINNER!!! What amazing food they served!! It was fresh and so delicious. We had the the chicken saag, lamb vindaloo, and the cheese naan(this bread was so fresh and yummy!!) Also the entrees were really fresh and good. We will definitely be going back again. This is a hidden gem and I would recommend it.

Service was A1 super fast & the cashier was really nice this was my first time coming here. When I walked in it smelled Sooo good ! I got my dishes spicy 🌶️ everything was seasoned real well so if you’re not a fan of heavy seasoning this Might not be of your liking but on my end I enjoyed everything, i think for my first time trying Indian food this spot really got It down perfect from the dishes to customer service ! I’d definitely come try out more of their menu ❤️

I had been to several Indian restaurants and this is by far the best. The taste on every dish is an explosion of flavors. The Naan bread is delicious. My personal favorite is Paneer Makhani, the home made cheese on this dish and the sauce is a perfect and flavorful combination. I highly recomend India Hut.

I have had Indian food all across the country, to include San Francisco, LA, Austin, Dallas, Denver, and even across the ocean in South Korea. This is right up there with all of them as far as quality, and taste! Ordered takeout through Uber eats and was not disappointed. Definitely the best we have had here locally. Ordered curry goat, butter chicken, vegetable samosas, and paneer bhurji. WOW. All excellent choices! The last two were new for us and we were excited to try something new that was a delicious vegetarian option. The naan fresh baked, and huge pieces cut in half. One is definitely enough for 2 to 3 people if you’re modest, but we opted for one each and were quite surprised at how huge they are! We did the chile snd original. Green chiles baked un to the dough, YUM. So happy to see this quality of diverse food in El Paso.

Forgot all the naan I paid for but their aloo gobi is delicious and flavorful though

i always used to just drive by but i decided to finally come inside and try it out. they’re definitely understaffed and not used to having dine in customers as i saw two ladies run around swamped by takeout orders so hopefully they get more staff. the dine in experience could be a lot better because we had to constantly ask for water refills even though our empty cups were lined up on the table. the food was pretty good considering how el paso barely has any authentic food and price was reasonable considering how everything is getting more expensive we got the chicken tikka masala (about $14 for the rice and chicken in the picture) & garlic naan satisfied cravings

I was a little hesitant at first from the reviews, but we came anyway. The food turned out to be really really good! Tandoori,samosa, lamb biryani, and the chicken tikka masala, were very good. Food came out hot and delicious .We’ll definitely return for more!

First off, great good. I really enjoyed it. But the service was substandard, I think we went half an hour without seeing our server. Will I go back? Of course, the food is outstanding, but I do hope that the service is better next time

Food quality was good, but the quantity is unbelievably low. I spent nearly $40 on two orders of chicken masala and THIS is all the rice they gave me (less than one cup). A cup of rice costs less than one dollar; stop scamming your customers on your cheapest ingredient

Very friendly staff and clean environment. Food is worth the wait, will be visiting again!

Omg so glad that I bumped into this place. Food was awesome. Ate Chicken Vindaloo because I enjoy the spicy flavor. This was hot hot 🌶️ but well prepared. Ate it up. Also had their dessert Gulab Jamun. Perfect. The place is kinda old and it was refurbished so don’t expect it to be super nice. It is not bad but classy. But, I was here for the food and it deserves a 10.

This is great food. I ordered food from the app many times and just got curious about the restaurant. Worth the drive if you want outstanding Indian food. I got the goat korma and it was so tender. Asked for spicy, and they delivered. So flavorful and the nan will help subdue the heat if you need it.

While driving on I 10 looking for a good Indian restaurant and found India hut. Had chicken kabob, dal makhani and butter chicken. The food was awesome and simply delicious! Never had this kind of taste in Dallas area. The Bengali chef was extraordinary. I definitely recommend this to everyone.

Fresh and Delicious, definitely recommended Butter Chicken Goat Curry Vegetable samosa Garlic Naan

A quaint mom and pop restaurant that understands Indian food and focuses on the food. The food is delicious, the staff stays busy because it's delicious...go to enjoy the food not atmosphere.

The food was great, just delicious! Waiting is not bad. They have a sign asking for you're patience, but it wasn't a long wait. The chai tea is super good. Only reason is not a five it does need some tender loving care. The service was awesome though.

Loved it such good food and great customer service ❤️

Found this restaurant on DoorDash and SO glad it was there. Since then I’ve eaten in the restaurant or ordered out several times. Various varieties of naan, samosas, and tikki masala are always fresh and perfectly cooked. Owner is very sweet and accommodating. Hidden gem for sure.

Delicious food served hot and in abundance. One of our family’s favorite restaurants!

Delicious! Definitely will order again! Vindaloo is to die for. I highly recommend!

Great food just make sure to specify spicy or else end up with bland food

I went to this restaurant today for lunch. The service was great and the food was absolutely amazing! So much flavor!I definitely recommend it. I cant wait to go again.

We had an early dinner today. This was our first time eating here. We decided to dine in. AJ our waiter was amazing! It was our first time here. We always drive over from the far East side when we're in the mood for Indian. AJ made some great reccomendations and we will definitely be back.

Delicious

Best Indian food in the bordertown. ?

Delicious omg!

The food (chicken tikka masala & naan) was excellent. The ambiance left a lot to be desired. I would recommend getting a to-go order.

If you've ever even been curious about trying this cuisine do! Super fresh, authentic, generous portions and just plain tasty!!

The guy that greet us was really nice friendly and the food was good in enjoying it

Really great food and excellent service

Delish!

It was good.. the food had a lot of flavor. The goat biryani and rice was good

This place was disgusting. The lady server literally dug her hand in her a** and then used the soda despiser to get an order of drink for the customers behind us. I didn’t say anything because how embarrassing in her part. Right? When brining out our sauces there was 2 THICK hairs in it. She didn’t think I saw but she immediately took the sauce back. Then when we received our rice, again thick hair in it. We didn’t get asked for a refill on our drinks, she kept forgetting things. She took forever to bring back our debit card. She was nice to us but her service really wasn’t great at all. Me, my mother and daughter got Diarrhea. Will never come back to this place. We as customers notice everything. Do better!!

You’ll pay some money at this place, but it’s the best Indian restaurant in El Paso. Highly recommend the VEGETABLE PEKORA! The chicken tikka masala is good, but I usually get the chicken vindaloo. More my style. The naan is just ok.

The food here is outstanding!

Not a lot of Indian options in El Paso but this place was definitely worth trying out

I love Indian food! Very fresh and tasty. Authentically made. Everything cooked to order. I will definitely be visiting again.

The food is really, really good! The woman who greeted us, made us feel very welcomed and was nice. I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala,P Naan bread, and it came with rice. I didn't want to try anything too much out there for my first go at Indian Cuisine (forgot to mention, it was my first time trying Indian Cuisine) So I felt the Chicken Tikka Masala was the choice for me. It was very slightly spicy, for those of you who perfer little to no spice, but I love spice so I kind of already knew it would be. What i also wanted to mention was how the food felt like it was cooked with love and homemade fresh, at least for me that is. It took about 20mins for the food to come out but it was well worth it. Another thing worth mentioning is my girlfriend doesn't really like to venture too much out of her comfort zone but even she really enjoyed the food. I'll finish by saying. You have to try it out for yourself. The building is dated but don't let it deter you. And I gave it a 4 only because I have nothing to compare to,since this was the first time trying Indian Cuisine. I didn't want to commit to 5,but it may have been.

I was craving Indian food and this definitely hit the spot! We ordered kadai chicken, butter chicken, and aloo gobi. It was delicious and I highly recommend their food.

Curry lamb was excellent, told them to make it Indian spicey, but no were near, they water it down for Americans, in London, I always get it Indian style spicy, I like this new restaurant in el paso, 3rd time now, I'll be back.

The food is amazing! I’ve had a variety of things including Paneer, lamb, yogurt, and their rice and it’s all super delicious. Don’t forget to order Naan ?I bought it for me and some other people and they fell in love with Indian food. Their customer service is great. When I went to pick up the food it was already done and still very warm when I got home. Definitely recommend trying it out ❤️?

Amazing food, the owners were really nice and helpful. The place is somewhat new so it’s still in the process of remodeling, bathrooms could use more cleaning, but overall a great place.

Didnt get to try the food as we arrived at 8:45 and they said they close at 9. Time on Google Maps is wrong it states they close at 930. Please update. ****reply to owner****** Yes this was at the N. Mesa location.

The food is good

(Translated by Google) The best Indian food restaurant in El Paso. Authentic and delicious flavors. The incredible price. 10 usd for the buffet. I recommend it 100% (Original) El mejor restaurante de comida India en El Paso. Sabores auténticos y deliciosos. El precio increíble. 10 usd por el buffet. Lo recomiendo 100%

Amazing cuisine! We ordered four entrees to share and each one was delicious. Our waitress was so helpful in explaining the menu as we were new to authentic Indian food. This is our new favorite restaurant and I highly recommend it!

We ordered only appetizers 2 different items since we were told their big size, the size was okay however kabob and tandoori chicken took a little over 30min just appetizers, only one item was brought out the 2nd item took another 10min. I understand it's cooked when it's order but you gotta do better on the time. I can only imagine how long main course would take. Also I'm not sure if it's because it's an old building but it looks dirty. Unsure if I would go back. 😕

Food is amazing, very hole in the wall type of place but sometimes those are the best restaurants. My only gripe is the tea was too sweet. Order takeout all the time was nice to finally eat there physically.
