Aga’s Restaurant & Catering to add second Houston-area location

(from Chron.com, a free site)

I’ve been to Aga’s many, many times, though not in several years. The change of ownership resulted in a big upgrade in service - I’m not sure how much the recipes changed. I always thought of it and neighboring Savoy as Pakistani but I guess Indo-Pak is more appealing/less threatening (?) than just Pakistani? There did seem to me to be an abundance of Paki restaurants in that general area some years ago.

I have had the goat chops - my portion was no where near as big as that pictured in the article.
