Established in 2015, this Indian restaurant has operated for approximately 10
years in the greater Houston/Humble market and offers a strong opportunity for
an experienced restaurant operator, chef-led team, or restaurant group.
Restaurant achieved over $1.4M annual sales under stronger operations.
Owner now
resides out of state and seeks a qualified operator for acquisition or
partnership.
The restaurant serves a broad local customer base, with approximately 90% of
clientele coming from local non-Indian customers and approximately 10% from
Indian and Asian customers. The cuisine has been adapted to appeal to the local
market, with mild, approachable flavors that have helped attract repeat
customers.
Popular best-selling items include butter chicken, chicken tikka
masala, and garlic naan.
The restaurant is approximately 3,000 sq. ft.
and has been extensively renovated
and upgraded over the past several years. The facility includes a full
commercial kitchen, stainless steel kitchen and dishwashing room walls, updated
dining room finishes, newer ceiling grids and tiles, upgraded hallway and
bathroom tile, wallpaper/mica finishes, fresh paint, upgraded electrical,
dining-room ceiling and hanging lights, newer A/C units, a brand-new walk-in
cooler, brand-new walk-in freezer, two new make-up air units for the kitchen
hood, new hood motors, full cooking line, restaurant equipment, furniture,
fixtures, and a commercial van used for purchasing and delivery.
The business has a history of strong sales performance.
Monthly sales were
approximately $60,000 when current ownership acquired the business in 2021.
After major renovations and operational improvements, sales grew to
approximately $80,000/month in 2022, approximately $115,000/month in 2023 &
2024, representing annual sales of over $1.4M.
Current annualized sales are
approximately $960,000 under absentee ownership.
In mid-2025, the business experienced a major staff transition, which affected
food consistency and operations. Current ownership lives out of state and has
worked to stabilize the restaurant from a distance, but the business has not yet
returned to its prior sales and profitability levels.
This creates a meaningful
opportunity for a hands-on owner-operator who can provide strong kitchen
leadership, service management, staff oversight, cost control, and consistent
daily execution.
The restaurant currently has staff in place, delivery-platform presence, an
established customer base, and a fully built-out facility with major capital
improvements already completed. Growth opportunities include improving food
consistency, strengthening kitchen and service operations, rebuilding customer
confidence, increasing catering, improving online reviews, expanding local
marketing, optimizing delivery-app menus, improving labor and food cost
controls, and moving sales closer to prior historical levels.
Rent is approximately $7,500 per month including CAM, with approximately 7 years
remaining on the lease. The business is best suited for a buyer with restaurant,
chef/operator, or food-service experience who can take full operational control.
Seller is open to an outright sale and may also consider a majority partnership
with the right qualified operator.
Detailed financials, lease information, equipment list, and operating records
are available to qualified buyers after NDA and buyer screening. Please do not
approach employees, landlord, customers, or vendors directly.
