The 38 Best Restaurants in Houston, Spring 2025 | Eater Houston

"With its breathtaking design and opulent decor, Musaafer is a Michelin-starred restaurant you must see to believe. Made up of various dining rooms, including a room coined the Sheesh Mahal — or palace of mirrors — built with more than 220,000 mirrors, the restaurant truly transports diners to majestic India. The menu takes a modern approach to Indian cuisine, showcasing dishes in an artful way and reflecting the foods and flavors of the country’s 29 states. Must-try dish: The tasting menu offers a visually stunning introduction and overview, but diners can also venture into the à la carte menu, which features a beautiful, vegetarian lychee ceviche. Whatever you do, don’t miss the nihari birria tacos — corn tortillas stuffed with pulled lamb, Indian cheddar, and red onion, served with a nihari consommé." - Brittany Britto Garley
