One of the oldest Indian restaurants in Houston, Raja Sweets in the Gandhi District opened in 1986 highlighting confectioneries and desserts from the subcontinent. While sweets like jalebi, burfi, and laddoo made from scratch are the focus, this humble establishment also specializes in street snacks like samosas, pakora, and pani puri. You’ll see plenty of customers stopping in for desserts and snacks to go, but Raja Sweets also has standard lunch and dinner menu items like curries, daal, naan, and tandoori.
