Home Chef: Chef Usha

Shivam Patel

The only impressive thing about this restaurant is its ambiance — the décor and setup are definitely eye-catching and give the illusion of a fine-dining experience. Unfortunately, that’s where the luxury ends. The food is extremely overrated and far from what they’re trying to showcase as “premium.” The flavors are mediocre at best, and presentation alone can’t make up for the lack of taste or quality. What made it worse was the untrained staff — they struggled to pronounce the dishes correctly and had no idea about the ingredients or menu details when asked. For a place that positions itself as upscale, this was very disappointing. Overall, it’s a one-time visit for the ambiance only — not worth the hype or the price.

Had dinner tonight at Mahesh’s Kitchen. The ambience is modern and clean-lined, with a full bar and a relaxed but elevated vibe. Ordered: Mango Lassi (excellent, rich and smooth), Avocado Bhel (fresh, crunchy, tangy), Paneer Shashlik (well-grilled paneer with vegetables), Paneer Makhani Curry (creamy tomato gravy classic), Mushroom Masala (well-prepared), Garlic Naan, Lacchedaar Paratha (layered paratha), Butter Roti. Everything was well-paced, the flavours were clean and confident, spice level balanced (I asked for medium). Service was attentive. If you’re looking for a fine-dine Indian meal in the Houston/Stafford area this is a strong choice. I’ll definitely return.

We went in for an early dinner and as soon as the door opened it smelt amazing. The serving sizes are perfect for family style sharing. We ordered a naan pizza and lamb saagwala. And the garlic naan was amazing. The staff was friendly and attentive. We will be back.

The food was wonderful. Finesse in presentation and atmosphere. Butter curry was rich and flavorful. It would have been nice if they serve with rice, but you have to order it separately.

We celebrated my cousin’s 25th wedding anniversary at Mahesh’s Kitchen, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Every dish was a hit with our family and guests. The décor was beautifully done and created such a warm, festive atmosphere, making the celebration feel extra special. The staff was attentive, accommodating, and ensured everything ran smoothly throughout the event. Mahesh’s Kitchen is the perfect place for family celebrations and special occasions. Highly recommend for great food, lovely décor, and memorable experiences!
