The 38 Best Restaurants in Houston, Spring 2025 | Eater Houston
"Crowned Eater Houston’s Restaurant of the Year in 2022, this modern Indian restaurant is helmed by chef Jaspratap “Jassi” Bindra, a Chopped champion who was named one of the “World’s Best Indian Chefs” by the Hindustan Times. Bindra takes a playful and whimsical approach to the menu with dishes like A5 wagyu grilled on white charcoal, finished with house-made spice butter, tandoori-stuffed quail, beef short rib served nihari-style with chimichurri, mashed potatoes, and pickled onion, and Hokkaido scallops, paired with roasted corn, charred pepper, and a curry leaf sauce. Desserts and cocktails, presented in all sorts of unique vessels, are just as imaginative, with an immaculate cardamom chocolate mousse cake garnished with an edible 24K gold kiss, and a New Old Fashioned made with a cardamom syrup. Know before you go: If you still want to experience the glitz of the restaurant, but street food is more of your style, reserve a seat at Armina’s tapas bar. Order à la carte for $10 per dish, or opt for the tasting menu for $60 per person for a curated, spice-laden lineup of snacks and morsels, including golgappa and papri chaat." - Brittany Britto Garley
