I had the most wonderful birthday dinner at Musaafer! The interior and decor were absolutely stunning, creating such a warm and inviting atmosphere. The food was incredible—each dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The service was impeccable too, with the staff making us feel so special and well taken care of. I'm so happy with the entire experience and couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate!

From the crispy shrimp and beet salad to the flavorful steak, caramel cake, and great coffee, every course was phenomenal. By far one of my favorite dinner experiences of the year and favorite steakhouses in Houston. Ask for MICHELLE A - Stellar waitress who was above and beyond and served with excellence and a great, fun attitude. Only complaint was the volume of the people sitting in the booth that is connected to ours.

We love melting pot. Has been a destination for many of our special dinners. Since the chain left California, we always search it out when we travel. The Houston location was great. The food it always good but our server was top of the mark. Friendly, professional, knowledgeable, couldn’t have asked for a nicer experience. Highly recommended
