About Cowboys & Indians
Cowboys and Indians, or CNI, is a unique Houston restaurant blending Texan and Indian cuisines, reflecting the city's cultural diversity. Founded by Imran Khan, CNI's story began in 2016 in an old Texaco gas station in Montrose. Imran envisioned a place where classic Texan dishes and authentic Indian flavors could coexist harmoniously.
The menu features innovative dishes like the Steak Naan Quesadilla, Korma Deviled Eggs, and the Himalayan Heat Burger. One standout creation is the Naan-chos, a fusion of nachos made with naan bread instead of tortilla chips.
The restaurant is a family affair, with Imran's uncles working in the kitchen and his mom and aunts contributing to the recipes. The staff is treated like family, with everyone affectionately calling the uncles "uncle," fostering a warm and inclusive environment. CNI embodies the melting pot of cultures, bringing together diverse culinary traditions to create a unique dining experience. This family-oriented approach makes it a welcoming place for both locals and visitors.
CNI has become a beloved spot in Houston, known for its delicious food, friendly service, and unique offerings. Whether you're in the mood for a traditional Indian dish like Butter Chicken or a Texan classic with a twist like Chicken Fried Chicken, this restaurant offers something for everyone.
