Musaafer

Indian, Contemporary · ★ Michelin

$$$$

Dinner in a shopping mall doesn’t sound promising, unless you’re headed to Musaafer. The sheer scale of this grand hall, with its arches, towering windows, labyrinth-like layout and elaborate patterns, feels like a palace of its own. The setting is as thrilling as the food, with different menus reflecting the chef's travels around India. A crisp, delicate achappam is a lovely opener before scallop ceviche with green apple cilantro water. A short rib taco adds a little fun but do order the Malabari fish curry with a light and fluffy paratha. Desserts are delicate, subtle and skillful. The atten

Blood Bros BBQ

Barbecue, Asian · Bib

Few smokehouses celebrate the city’s diverse cultural footprint quite like this one, where Texas barbecue traditions merge with Chinese, Vietnamese and Korean flavors. Where else will you find banh mi with pho-rubbed beef belly, a swipe of garlic aioli, chicken liver pâté? How many pitmasters glaze their ribs in gochujang? Classic offerings of brisket and ribs satisfy, but the restaurant’s heart lives in the daily specials, which change with great frequency. Take a look around: A nearby table (indoors or out) will always have a dish you wish you had ordered. How’s the brisket fried rice? What

Mala Sichuan Bistro

Chinese, Sichuan · Bib

From Katy to Sugarland to Montrose, this Sichuan restaurant has spread its wings across the Houston area and beyond. The story begins at the original location, which opened in 2011 in Bellaire’s Chinatown. Whereas many Sichuan restaurants submerge everything in pools of chili oil, this kitchen takes a more measured approach. And true to its name, dishes boast a distinct thread of tangy bitterness and tongue-numbing heat but never so much that you’ll sweat. Don't ignore the classics like wonderfully balanced kung pao with soft juicy chicken, pork belly with broccoli or lotus root with a truly d

Nam Giao

Vietnamese · Bib

You could make an entire meal out of the appetizers at this beloved restaurant in Little Saigon, where the elegant cuisine of Hue in central Vietnam is front and center. Everyone starts with those little steamed rice cakes topped with fried pork rinds and chives, and some are content to order these until they’re full. But then you’d miss out on the pork and shrimp crystal cakes steamed in banana leaves or that thrilling banh khoai, a crispy rice pancake layered with beansprouts, shrimp and a riot of fresh herbs. Leave room on the table for the grilled flank steak, which arrives wrapped in vine

Mexican, American · Bib

With burnt orange banquettes, handsome tile floors and a covered patio that looks out across West University, this cozy charmer is more than just a watering hole for refreshing margaritas and chilled lagers. The finely curated menu is packed with delicious ideas inspired by both Texan and Mexican traditions. Tortillas are nixtamalized and pressed in-house so start with a mushroom taco loaded with tempura-fried mushrooms and a sunflower seed chili crisp. Other hits include roasted oysters with green garlic butter, grilled cucumbers with charred jalapeño yogurt, and a superb smoked pork chop bur

Pappas Bros. Steakhouse

Steakhouse, American

$$$$

Even after more than two decades of service, this Houston institution is as sharp as ever. The menu is focused, offering just a limited number of appetizers and salads to keep all eyes and appetites on the prime, in-house dry-aged steaks. Seasoned and seared properly, the cuts are complemented by generous, finely tuned sides like creamed spinach with ham or oversized onion rings (ask for extra crispy). Part of the genius here is the service: Veteran waiters and friendly sommeliers are effortlessly hospitable regardless of whether you order 1947 Petrus. Altogether, with white tablecloths, gloss

Hidden Omakase

Sushi, Contemporary

$$$$

Note: Temporarily closedTrue to its name, this dark, intimate space is sealed off from the strip mall outside—but when it comes to its reputation for a showy, immersive experience, the secret is certainly out. In the care of Chef Marcos Juarez, this 18-seat counter features a wide array of premium seafood prepared with a unique approach that bucks tradition. Chefs happily engage with diners, explaining each of the courses. Nigiri is at the heart of this meal, featuring fish aged in-house, and may include toro, uni and plump mussels. Come with high expectations and do bring liquor, if you're so

A home away from home, this Montrose favorite is impossible to resist. Set in a charming 1930s bungalow and decorated with vinyl records, the restaurant is as cozy as they come with a staff that treats you like a regular. The food impresses, at once creative and familiar. You could fill up entirely on the superb dilly milk bread with “everything butter” but then you’d miss any one of the creative vegetable offerings like grilled carrots with a coconut curry and peanut sesame crunch. The menu's tempting choices make decision-making difficult, but know that there must be pie, all of which are ba
