Restaurants near Holiday Inn Express Hotel and Suites Houston - Memorial Park Area

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!

Food and service was outstanding. We had so many folks checking on us, but it was not intrusive. They engaged with us about the food and how we are doing. The restaurant was gorgeous. A little too pricey to go every week but not terrible.

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!

The food was pretty good. I had the crab cakes, the seafood risotto, the chocolate hazelnut torte and a cappuccino. My server was very attentive, keeping my drinks filled. I went for Sunday brunch.. It was a little loud because there was a live saxophonist doing a mixture of show tunes, R&B, and yacht rock (he had a great tone). Will definitely return.

All the food was really good! Had a good time. My only tiny issue is that the restrooms were so far where the arcade was but other than that everything was fine!
