How many international meals have you had? I am not talking eating a Kolache and saying you have had a German meal. I think my palate has been limited to: Mexican Italian Indian Chinese Thai Vietnamese Jamaican / Caribbean What are some restaurants in Houston - international cuisines - that represent their country well and that one should try? Rocket River
In a particular time period? I eat international most of the time. I might get some East African food tonight.
I eat all kinds of food Aga’s Restaurant & Catering off 59 and Wilcrest is my Indian fix...their chicken tikka masala, karahi gosht, and naan is very good Gyro King off Hwy 6 is my Mediterranean fix...their chicken and lamb combo with the sauce hits the spot...they also have good Tiramisu there was this really good Nigerian restaurant in Bellaire that I used to go to a few years ago, but I think they closed...their jollof rice, chicken, and plantain was so on point pupusas from El Salvador Papusas Y Mas is my Mexican fix...cheap and always very good...I haven’t been in awhile tho, I hope my guy is doing good...Covid-19 has been devastating to some of these smaller establishments Thai food from Thai Cottage in Bellaire...been going there for years...the owner is real sweet Pho from Pho Ben things like Italian food I don’t go to a restaurant for...I haven’t seen any Italian dish that’s made me think that I must go out to a restaurant and try
Sounds good Is it significantly different than Mexican I always wonder about cuisines near It could be . Rocket River
Does Nikos Nikos count as Greek food or is that just fast food (Like I don't consider Panda Express chinese food) Rocket River
Sushi and Thai are the only things I've been out to get in the last couple of months. But manana is TexMex day...fajitas and all the trimmings.
True. Czech/Polish/Slovak Kolach is the fruit filled singular of kolache, btw Klobasnik (klobasniki) is the "pig in a blanket" sausage stuffed delicious thing The more you know...
oh man, where to begin... I love most everything. These are my personal favorite spots: Mexican - there's so many great places in Houston and everyone has a favorite or three - I've got too many to name Argentinian - Marini's Empanada House or Argentina Cafe Brazilian - Fogo de Chao Chinese - like Mexican, there are a ton, but Xin Dynasty is great Thai - either Thai Gourmet or Konomwan, both are amazing Vietnamese - Vietnam Coast, personal favorite, but I also have been a Kim Son fan for 30ish years Japanese - Ginza has the best sushi I've had in the city Indian - friend of mine from India introduced me to Biryani Pot and Bombay Sweets (the latter is an all veg buffet that this carnivore is in love with) Greek/Mediterranean - big fan of Dimassi's buffet and Ekko's deli, Fadi's is really good too Italian - love the food but find most restaurants boring, but Antonio's Flying Pizza is pretty damn good - despite the name, it's a legit Italian restaurant. Cavatore always seemed pretty legit too, plus it's in a converted barn, which is pretty cool Swiss - does Melting Pot count? French - had a favorite in Denver but not one in Houston Spanish - same as French Moroccan - same as the two above (all 3 of these places in Denver were really excellent) I've had Cuban, but not El Rey. May have to try that. Nigerian and Ethiopian sound intriguing. I'm always looking for new things to try. Technically American, but so exotic, it's kind of international... Hawaiian - Tako Poke
Gotcha. Has it changed? It was a pretty legit place years ago. Helen, if it's still open, was really great.
