POK POK PO was born from a simple kitchen experiment that quickly turned extraordinary. When Chef Jassi created a game-changing hot sauce to pair with perfectly crispy fried chicken, it sparked a new culinary adventure. Partners Preet and Surpreet were instantly hooked by the bold flavors and knew they had something special to share with Houston.
With the same passion we poured into our fine dining venture, Amrina The Woodlands, we’re building POK POK PO as a community-driven brand. It’s more than just great food—it’s about crafting memorable experiences that bring people together to celebrate good food, good company, and the joy of sharing.
Chef Jassi Bindra is a trailblazer in the world of modern Indian cuisine, celebrated for his innovative and artful approach to cooking. As the executive chef at Amrina in The Woodlands, Texas, Chef Bindra seamlessly blends traditional Indian flavors with cutting-edge culinary techniques, offering a dining experience that is both adventurous and rooted in authenticity. His expertise spans years of experience, including a prestigious role at Washington, D.C.’s Michelin Guide-featured Punjab Grill, where he honed his ability to elevate Northern Indian dishes with a contemporary twist.
Bindra’s creativity and talent were spotlighted when he won an episode of Chopped, showcasing his ability to craft sophisticated and daring plates using Indian ingredients. He has become known for his mastery of bold, layered flavors and eye-catching presentation, which he brings to life in dishes like charred octopus and modern interpretations of Indian desserts at Amrina. His culinary journey is a testament to his passion for pushing the boundaries of Indian cuisine, making him one of Houston’s most exciting chefs. With his appearance on Chopped Legends further cementing his status, Chef Bindra continues to captivate diners and critics alike

Fried chicken concept from fine dining Indian restaurant Amrina is headed to Midtown
Amrina in The Woodlands flies under the radar, even though it's a rare fine-dining Indian restaurant in Houston serving Petrossian Tsar Imperial at $350 per ounce and entrées, many of which look they come straight from a Michelin-starred kitchen, priced anywhere between $26 (a "compressed" version of matar paneer) to $100 (a whole roasted duck served with roti-like pancakes).
