Customer Review
I love this spot because there’s an incredible restaurant downstairs for some really great authentic Indian food and then upstairs there’s a really quaint coffee shop where you can go and get work done plus the coffee is incredible. I got the Choco latte last time. I was there and it was one of the best cups of coffee I’ve ever had. It got really great pastries and snacks as well healthy options. I’ve even gotten a chicken with salad there before and if you need a spot to work and come to get a great cup of coffee, there’s no better place in town.

I had an amazing experience at Musaafer in Houston. This restaurant beautifully combines Indian and American flavors, creating a unique fusion cuisine. With a Michelin rating, it’s definitely worth a visit if you’re interested in exploring different culinary styles. The food is incredibly tasty—not overly spicy like traditional Indian dishes but perfectly seasoned to enhance each flavor. There are several dishes that you simply cannot miss, and the restaurant itself is stunningly decorated. The staff was very attentive, especially the person who was waiting for our table, who explained everything thoroughly. Overall, I’m truly impressed and highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.

Customer Review
Food was excellent . We enjoyed it thoroughly. Everything came out quickly. We ordered Delhi chaat, tandoori Quail,tandoori chicken Chicken tikka masala, Rogan Gosht, rumali roti, chapathi, peshwari naan and crème brûlée . Quail was super tender , tandoori chicken was very good( could have been spicier but was flavorful), rumali roti was big and chapathi comes as 4 to an order. Crème brûlée was with saffron and mocha macaroon and was excellent. Rogan Gosht was tender and very flavorful. Would surely go back and highly recommend the restaurant .
