Love Noon Mirch? Help us share our story with the James Beard Foundation
For 37 years, our family has had the privilege of cooking for the Webster, Clear Lake and Greater Houston community.
What began with Monica Nanda and her family recipes in 1989 has grown through three names, changing times and a new generation, but the heart of the restaurant has remained the same: authentic Indian cooking, recipes passed down through generations, genuine hospitality and a belief that food brings people together.
Today, Navul and Annika Nanda are carrying that tradition forward at Noon Mirch Kitchen + Bar, honoring Monica's recipes while introducing a new generation of guests to contemporary Indian cuisine, creative fusion dishes and the flavors that have kept families coming back to our tables for decades.
Now, as the James Beard Foundation considers restaurants and culinary professionals from across the country for its next awards cycle, we would be honored if you would recommend Noon Mirch.
If Noon Mirch has been part of your family celebrations, your lunch tradition, your date nights, your introduction to Indian food, or simply a restaurant you believe deserves national recognition, please tell the James Beard Foundation why.
Recommendations close November 30, 2026, so please submit yours before the deadline. It takes 5 minutes and costs nothing.
