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.

    When making reservation, I did put in it is for birthday event, and my friend called couple hours before reservation to let them know it’s for bday celebration. When we checked in the host once again asking what occasion it is, we said birthday. NOTHING was done for the occasion even though we mentioned it 3 times. It is very disappointing even the dessert we ordered had no happy birthday or candles. Food was good but we are not coming back for any special occasion

    Concentrate on the apps. The meals are “deconstructed” & you’ll end up cutting into a big fillet of fish or meat.

    I’ve been twice. First time was great service and food. Second time we ordered immediately after being seated (due to time constraints with work) and still waited over 2 hours for our dining experience. Extremely slow to receive food and check. Disappointed and frustrated

    A wonderful experience with the best, most creative Indian cuisine I’ve ever had, infused with local elements that made each dish a journey worth savoring. Our favorites were the 72-hour Dal, the butter chicken experience (like you know it but with a twist!), the chipotle chicken appetizer, and the artistic and tasty lychee ceviche to start. Highly recommend everyone who enjoys Indian and related cuisine check it out.
