Deli Deluxe: A Hidden Gem of Indian Delicacies and Comfort Food in Houston

Best Vada pav! Hits right in the spot. Also their breakfast poha and coffee is a must

10/10 for service. I initially tried chai from this place in the tunnels (can’t seem to find any other chai places in the tunnels) and the guy working there informed me that their chicken and beef is halal (turkey isn’t). Went back to try the food and portion sizes are very generous for the price. I was still a little skeptical about it being halal since there were no signs so I asked again before I checked out and he showed me evidence of the halal source! Appreciate the pleasant service

Fantastic Place to visit for Indian snacks.. Manishbhai, the owner very humble. Continuous flow of Indian people especially for chai. You get all the varieties like Vadapav, Samosa, Dalwada, Pauha, Chhole Bhature, Chai, Lassi etc etc… Opens early in the morning by 6:30. Must visit

Awesome service from the owner and his staff. Great choice of Indian and American food. Always very hot and fast. I am pleased so far this place survived the pandemic. I got the Spicy Catfish with Salad. It was top draw!

⭐ 5 Stars — A Hidden Gem in Downtown Houston This is easily one of the best spots in downtown Houston for fresh, flavorful food. Whether you’re craving classic Indian breakfast items like poha, upma, or a strong Indian coffee — or you’re in the mood for tacos, sandwiches, or something quick — this place delivers every time. What really sets it apart is the variety. Just ask Manish Bhai, and chances are he’ll whip up something special even if it’s not listed on the menu. That personal touch is rare and makes every visit feel unique. The staff is consistently polite, friendly, and welcoming. Lunch options are plentiful, and if you swing by in the late afternoon, you can even grab hot chai and pakode — a perfect pick‑me‑up. A must‑visit for anyone who loves good food, warm service, and a place that feels like home.

first time trying some of these Indian dishes for breakfast, vada pav and samosa pav. Great food and nice owner. Get the Indian coffee!

Great food & very friendly staff! If you’re not used to coming to this place, call before you come to check their hours for serving food. Google says they close at 4pm but I arrived at 2:30pm & the only food being served was samosa & snacks. Aside from that… I highly recommend this place!

Everything they make is amazing! They have plenty of vegetarian options which is great! I recommend everything!! Also if you’re in the mood for breakfast, they have homemade tacos and an Indian breakfast, it’s all delish!
