The restaurant impressed me with its cleanliness and inviting atmosphere. The food was delicious, showcasing a rich variety of flavors. I particularly enjoyed the lamb and goat biryani; both dishes were spiced and cooked perfectly, making for a truly satisfying meal. Additionally, the masala tea, which was made in-house, stood out with its aromatic blend of spices and smooth texture, enhancing the overall dining experience. The friendly staff added to the warmth of the place, making us feel welcome and well taken care of throughout our visit.

Very delicious, I’m so glad I found this place! I’m in town from Chicago and have been craving Indian food, and I was excited to see one in southeast Texas. The paneer tikka masala is delightful, very comforting especially on cold days. The garlic naan is excellent. I look forward to visiting this restaurant again!

Small family owned Indian Restaurant. Everything is made from scratch, so yes, it does take a little bit while they prepare it fresh. Grab some Garlic & Butter naan and an order of Vegatable Samosa with Masala Tea first. The Chicken Curry with extra Curry sauce, medium spice, and the Chicken Biriyani was Excellent. It's definitely worth the business at a super affordable price.

Venya’s Kitchen is Nederland’s first and only Indian restaurant! The inside is quaint and clean, and the servers were friendly. I ordered the butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, goat vindaloo, and vegetable samosa. You can choose the spice level, and because my boyfriend’s spice tolerance is in the negatives, we got mild (the lowest) for all the dishes. The dishes were well portioned, and each dish comes with a big bowl of rice. We only got three main dishes for four people, and I think it was perfect. The butter chicken and chicken tikka masala were creamy, and the flavor seeped through the chicken. The goat vindaloo was my favorite. It was spicier, had hints of a limey flavor, and comes with potatoes. The samosas were also good and crispy and came with two sauces, one sweet and one savory, to dip in. They also gave us two masalas chais, which I believe came with the samosas but not sure. I also got the mago lassi, and it tasted like a creamy mango smoothie. Overall, I think this is solid and pretty good Indian food, especially for Nederland.

Prices were a bit high for protein to sauce/gravy ratio, not enough protein. Rice was good, garlic naan had great texture and was really fresh, favorite portion of the meal. Great customer service, very friendly.
