I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel this one is important to share. We ordered Malai Kofta, Papdi Chaat, Veg Fried Rice, and Paneer Tikka Dosa. Out of everything, the Paneer Tikka Dosa was probably the most decent dish — I’d rate it about 3/5. It wasn’t exceptional, but it was okay. Unfortunately, the Papdi Chaat was very disappointing (2/5). It didn’t resemble traditional papdi chaat at all. It was mostly papdi topped with onions and tomatoes, lightly finished with shev and chutney — missing the balance, texture, and flavor you’d expect from a proper chaat. The Veg Fried Rice was also quite underwhelming. It didn’t taste like Indo-Chinese style fried rice. Instead, it felt more like basmati rice tossed together similar to a mild veg pulav. The flavor profile just wasn’t there. On top of that, both my spouse and I experienced stomach discomfort afterward, which made the experience even more concerning. After living in Texas for over 10 years and trying many Indian restaurants, this is honestly the first one that left me this disappointed. I truly wanted to like it, but unfortunately, we won’t be returning

Cosmic Kitchen is a hidden gem that truly feels like an extension of a warm, welcoming home. I tried their home-style idli with chutney, and it was comfort food at its finest — fresh, flavorful, and Jain-friendly, which is a big plus. The cozy setup adds to the charm, and the staff are exceptionally polite and friendly, making you feel right at home. And I have to mention — their coffee is absolutely outstanding! Smooth, aromatic, and perfectly brewed — it’s a must-try when you visit. If you’re looking for authentic flavors, homely vibes, and genuinely kind service, Cosmic Kitchen should be on your list.

The puri was fresh and made with whole wheat, and the samosa chaat was really good with a fresh samosa. They also gave complimentary sweet rice, which was nice.
