    Stuffed Butternut Squash
    Ashley Y.

    You lost if you didn't stop by Cafe Lili today to get the stuffed squash special. Absolutely delicious! We go here regularly for lunch and it never disappoints!

    Loved the kibbe and coffee, wish I had ordered more kibbe. Very friendly staff. Will be back!

    My buddy was hyping Cafe Lili up and it did not disappoint. I have never had Lebanese food before but I can say that I am definitely a fan now. The fried kibbie was delicious and full of beef, spices, and pine nuts. You can never go wrong with anything stuffed with cheese so the cheese pie was automatically a winner in my books. I ordered the steak kabob half order and it came with five slices of pita bread and a side of hummus. Both were perfect. My buddy got the side salad with his kabobs and that portion was huge! It could pass as an entree at most restaurants. I loved how tender my steak kabobs were and the vermicelli rice was so delicious. Overall I can understand why Guy Fieri chose to visit this restaurant!

    This is vermicelli rice very good delicious meal.

    Love the family owned business! Been a customer for years and that will remain the same as the food is already prepared at a high level that you can taste in the dishes. The ambiance is filled with kind regulars and the employees are great! Recommend getting the chicken kabobs with fattoush salad, garlic sauce, and hummus, you won't regret it!

    Great food and service, I had chicken and rice was great and flavorful. they allowed my pet in patio area Restaurant was very clean

    Hummus
    Sarah R.

    One of my Houston favs! Hands down the best Hummus and Baba Ghanoush and olive oil. This time I got a chicken kebab with rice and hummus with a lemonade. Everything is so high quality and served very fresh. There's lots of seating and is usually pretty quiet. Try the Lebanese lemonade, amazing! Thanks Cafe Lili.

    I haven't had a lot of Lebanese food in my culinary adventures. This Mediterranean cuisine is very light and refreshing. My wife and I shared the chicken with a plate of hummus. The fried kibble were out of this world delicious. We went right around opening and place was pretty bare. By the time we finished to leave the place was packed with a hopping lunch crowd. Super clean and well run. Highly recommend.

    This place is an absolute Gem! We randomly stopped here for lunch. We ordered stuffed grape leaves and fried cauliflower to start. Both were very delicious. Then we ordered the cabbage salad and Kabobs for our entree. Literally everything was fresh and flavorful. Will definitely return again.

    Amazing spot for some delicious Lebanese Mediterranean food. Very friendly staff and quick with their service. Tried it twice already. And will definitely come by again when I'm visiting Houston again.

    Best food in the galleria, probably the city! Get the vermicelli rice with any order and the garlic dipping side sets off any dish!

The cocktails are unique, beautifully presented, and well balanced. We started with the paani puri, which was also presented beautifully. It comes with five different fillings, making it a fun and interactive dish, although we had quite a bit of filling left over after finishing the shells. The crudo was a refreshing way to begin the meal, while the shrimp added a nice savoury contrast. The highlight, however, was definitely the butter chicken experience. I would come back for this dish alone. The chicken was cooked perfectly, and the sauce was incredibly rich and delicious, especially when paired with the naan. I honestly haven't had a better butter chicken since. Overall, Musaafer delivers a memorable experience through its atmosphere, presentation, and standout dishes. Highly recommend for a special occasion or anyone looking for a more elevated take on Indian cuisine.

All dishes looked very creative, especially the dessert. It's really pleasant to look at. And you know what they say, the eyes eat first ! The service was excellent as well. I wasn't given the history of the place as a first timer, so might have missed out. My party told me that they opened a second location in NYC and it's always fully booked there. Overall great experience and definitely a place to impress.
