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!

Visiting Houston and stopped in True Food Kitchen, which I always go to in my hometown. The service was spectacular! I enjoyed the impeccable dining experience from our bartender Ruslan!! He is a very knowledgeable server and you can tell he enjoys his job. The food was tasty, but the service provided by Ruslan was a memorable experience!! Thank you.
