Restaurants near Museum of Southern History at Houston Baptist University

Brought friends/family in from Melbourne Australia and had excellent service with Jonathan . He gave great recommendations. James the manager came over and said was lovely as well. It was our 1st time and we will be back!

We had an early Thanksgiving celebration with my brother-in-law at Musaafer's. We had eaten there before but everything seemed even better this time than before. For appetizers, we had Mithu's Coriander Shrimp, Seekh Kebab (beef), and Shammi Kebab. For the main dish, we had Butter Chicken Experience and Rizala Lamb Chops (my favorite). We also had basmati rice, garlic naan, and tandoori roti. And if that wasn't enough, we had 2 wonderful desserts that were beautifully presented. Everything was tasty, the ambiance was stunning yet quiet, and we will be back again, for sure. The waitstaff was great!

I have dined at Le Colonial more than 20 times, and the quality of the food has been consistently outstanding. The ingredients are fresh, and the flavors are delicious. The service is impeccable—it is always a pleasure to be warmly greeted by Clark, the exceptional host, and served by Edwin, who is incredibly professional and friendly. The cocktails are fantastic, and while the wine list is not extensive, it is thoughtfully curated. Overall, Le Colonial never fails to provide an excellent experience.

Once again a wonderful evening at Pappas Bros.. Perfectly cooked steak, excellent service with that extra attention for a special occasion. Each time I visit Houston I go to Papps Bros for this great experience.

Amazing Experience!!! We had an absolutely delightful dining experience at Rumi’s Kitchen in Houston. The ambiance of the restaurant was stunning—warm, inviting, and sophisticated with beautiful lighting and decor that set the tone for a special meal. The food was simply outstanding. We enjoyed a variety of dishes, and each one exceeded our expectations. The Lamb Rack was perfectly cooked, tender, and flavorful. The Chicken Barg was juicy and seasoned beautifully, while the Koobideh was richly spiced and paired wonderfully with the aromatic rice dishes. The Zereshk Rice added a unique tart and sweet twist that complemented the proteins. We also tried their appetizers, including the Mast Khiyar and Lamb Hummus, which were fresh, creamy, and packed with flavor. To end the meal, the White Chocolate Cardamom Cake and 8-Day Budino were heavenly desserts—light, sweet, and the perfect way to finish. Rumi’s Kitchen truly delivers a fantastic combination of food, service, and atmosphere. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just looking for exceptional Persian cuisine, this place is a must-visit. Thank you, Rumi’s Kitchen, for making our lunch unforgettable. We can’t wait to come back!
