About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Fancy
  • Great for creative cocktails
Two chefs of The Spice Route Co. were sent on this ambitious task of traveling 29 states of India; gathering stories and experiences along the way and bringing home age-old regional recipes, which have been translated into our eclectic menu. You’ll find Musaafer in Houston in the Galleria shopping complex, close to the city’s lively business district. The elegant two-story space with sweeping windows offers a luxurious and memorable dining experience. Guests are treated to unforgettable Indian cuisine, a world-class wine program and unparalleled hospitality.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Mayank Istwal

  • Award icon
    MICHELIN 1 Star2024

From the OpenTable editors: An opulent two-story space filled with carved wooden columns and brocade paneling sets the stage for regal Indian feasts at Musaafer. Expect elegant, à la carte dishes like kofta meatballs with Texas wagyu along with a decadent multi-course tasting menu starring the likes of caviar and a lamb chop with beetroot dust. Add in theatrical, tableside presentations and inventive cocktails like a paan-infused negroni, and it’s easy to see why the restaurant earned a MICHELIN Star.

    Beyond incredible. I’ve been coming to Musaafer since it opened. Special events, solo dates, friend reunions you name it…we come here. The food is spectacular. The service is amazing. Afzal and his team of bartenders are superb. Pastry chef Sumant makes the most beautiful and delicate desserts. Chef Mayank is a culinary genius. The details that go into everything is just over the top amazing. Vegan dishes are always superb. I have nothing but praise for this place. The Michelin star and all recognition is well deserved.

    Without a doubt, the best Indian food I've had outside of London. It was hard to resist, actually photographing it, the food was so beautiful. Not to mention the taste! It was a really wonderful dining experience, and I will not come to Houston ever again without going back.

    We had a bumpy start but the restaurant manager managed to turn it into an excellent experience, worthy of a Michelin star restaurant. Best decor I have seen for restaurant theme and the food, excellent from appetizers all the way to deserts. We would highly recommend Musaafer as a must go restaurant in Houston!!!

    The food was delicious and the service was excellent- our friend has a lot of allergies and they labeled the food so we knew what she could and could not eat

    Had the tasting menu and it was fantastic. The ambience is great and they don’t rush you. I had 6:30 reservation because 14 courses take a bit. There was two ladies at a table near. They were already seated and eating and still there at 8:45. They didn’t do the tasting. Food was fantastic and service was great. Only misstep was getting the check before asking if I wanted coffee. Manager came to chat a few times. Highly recommend!

    Incredible experience! I’d make the 6 hour round trip from Austin just to eat here again. The spice mixes were like something I’ve never experienced before.
