Meet the Visionary Behind Tempura

Meet the Visionary Behind Tempura
Tempura means authentic Pakistani food with a Japanese fusion, marinated and cooked with the best spices Pakistan has to offer, right here in Houston. In 2009, with God’s help, I opened our first location in the north side of Houston with a commitment to use the same passion and recipes of my mother. Since then, we have grown to three locations and have formed semi-exclusive partnerships with hotels such as the JW Marriot, Hilton Americas, and others for catering.

Fresh Ingredients, Timeless Tradition

Fresh Ingredients, Timeless Tradition
We only pick the best vegetables, spices, and flour for our dishes and we’re committed to fresh. Just like mom and Grandma made it! Our recipes are rooted in tradition, and remain unchanged! Hand-blended spices, passion, and a little love by the same chefs are the reason our food is always consistent!
