The Scene – Neighboring workers swarm for plates of exotic food at Gourmet India's affordable lunch buffet. A bonus: pleasantly polite servers work the room with refills of just-baked pillowy naan and sizzling tandoori chicken platters. Unlike many other Indian restaurants, this clean, unpretentious hideaway classes it up with table linens, decent wine and a well-tended buffet that beckons your return. – – The Food – Jewel-toned chutneys are worth a dollop: Try the sinus-clearing green or the beet-red blend of bananas, apples and tamarind. Silky saag paneer is a dream;…

No thanks...not for us
by Bugsy55
We quite fancied an Indian meal last night..the starters were fine but all the main dishes were very very salty...it spoiled the meal completely and ,12 hours and an uncomfortable night later,we can still taste the salt.Even after bringing out another portion,freshly cooked,it was still salty.Not for me, thanks
- Pros: Good parking,friendly staff
- Cons: Very salty food

this place IS like the old Bombay Palace!!!!
by checkerhead
thanks to another reviewer below, I was able to find my long lost love.......Bombay Palace!! the lunch buffet is practically identical to what use to be offered at Bombay Palace.....I am so glad to have found this place. go to their website and print off a coupon for 10% off lunch, 15% off dinner....service is excellent, waitstaff very attentive........nice quaint atmosphere.....it is far out on the west side of town, but well worth the drive!
- Pros: excellent service, great food
- Cons: out on west side of town, area is somewhat run down

Great Indian Dishes
by TheBestCritic
I've been to Gourmet India several times and have enjoyed the lunch buffett and the dinner menu. The food is excellent and service is good. I just wanted to tell eatit2008 that you don't have to drive to far out Westheimer to get the EXACT SAME FOOD AND MENU, just go to India's on Richmond a couple of hundred yards west of Chimney Rock. IT'S IDENTICAL, must be the same owners (I never asked) as Gourmet India. So save yourself several miles and dozens of traffic lights and go to India's you never know the difference. All the dishes are excellent and they use plenty of cream and butter as well, very rich sauces. But just like Gourmet India, their wine list is terrible and it's overpriced.
- Pros: Chicken Tiki Marsala, Sag Paneer, Quiet, Lunch Buffett
- Cons: Parking
