Venya’s kitchen 916 South 27th Street, Nederland, TX 77627

"Good food, unique service, beginner atmosphere. This place has so much potential I hope to see it one day after it grows bigger. To dine in you have to grab a menu and then go to the cashier and order your meal. The food spiciness is American level, so if you truly want spicy let them know. Overall the food was awesome though wish I knew about the spicy before hand (barely to non felt the heat). Over all would come back."

"We had the Dal tadka and Chicken Tikka Masala. Both were very delicious! If you like spicy though you need to get them to kick it up for you. Both were extremely mild to almost no spice. Definitely will be back again."

"A small no frills but nice & clean restaurant. We ordered the Venya's special biriyani & Butter chicken at a medium heat level. Both were very tasty & gave us a nice slow burn without being crazy. My friend had a masala tea & really liked it. I'd definitely go back if in the area."

"I live nearby and this is one of my girlfriend and I's go to dinner spots. Portions are pretty large and the food is very well spiced and flavorful. The spicy special biriyani with goat and lamb is delicious. We both love the tikka masala and butter chicken as well. Can't wait until they get their naan oven installed."

"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. I cannot wait for them to have naan, as well!"
