Christmas Buffet is perfection! All the food is delicious, but save room for dessert. This is a lovely way to spend the holiday.

About the restaurant

"Pacha Nikkei will introduce the unique flavors, philosophy and techniques of Nikkei cuisine to Houston. In doing so, it pays tribute to a successful integration of cultures that goes back 124 years in Peru, and that has significantly contributed to the gastronomic wealth of the country. Pacha in the Quechua language of Peru means “world” and Nikkei is a Japanese word, widely used in Peru to refer to Japanese-Peruvian people. The encounter between these rich cultures has given rise to a delicious culinary expression that we would like to share with the world."

The food service and food exceeded all my expectations. Our server Mark was extremely knowledgeable on all the menu items and explained how each meal was prepared ! We ordered appetizers, main , desert and a chai ,I can’t say which of the items I enjoyed the least . Every item was a delight . I don’t think any other Indian food restaurant will live up to the expectations set by Musaafer .

About the restaurant

Mixing all these ingredients is so exciting for Houston’s wonder-Chef Bruce Molzan and his partner Neera Patidar! The concept and food at Ruggles Black is modern and fun: a fusion pushing Indian, Asian, and American flavors to whole new boundaries in terms of taste, but keeping it accessible in terms of price. Ruggles Black is THE place to be for conscious eating foodies, as Bruce “The King of Paleo” cooks his amazingly delicious treats with local ingredients from farmers, while embracing the Paleo principles.

Last night, so many people were at the restaurant and service was slower than normal. But you have to take into consideration time of the year. If you have not tried this restaurant , you should.

Best sushi in Houston Texas! The japanese fish arrivals are just perfect and vary with the seasons. The more sophisticated menu dishes such as the Kampachio or Hamachio that combine fish with citrus are just a delight. If you are into meat the hot rock beaf just melts in your mouth. Even the deserts are delicious at Kuu! The only small downside is that it is a little bit expensive, but the quality of the ingredients just makes it all worth it!
