What cuisine n veg/ non-veg? Lots of great non-veg places - biryani pot, bismillah, bundu khan (for kebabs). Veg - maharaja blog, Indian express (simple Punjabi), shiv sagar and chowpatty (chat etc). South Indian - sarvana bhawan on westheimer, udipi cafe. You can also go to hillcroft and try every single Indian restaurant - most r good

Galveston - crystal beach, water wall, AMA supercross on Jan 13th, monster jam (check dates), Houston auto show, Hermann Park, Washington Avenue bars, indoor skydiving, shooting ranges, rent a Harley, George ranch, nasa

Go to Bansuri chaat house on south 59. It’s the best chaat place in Texas. Kinda similar to Chai Paani from southeast US.
Himalaya is good for biryani or meat dishes. Shiv sagar is good for quick and cheap lunches. Yaal Tiffins is perfect for a buffet. Maharaja Bhog is no doubt the best. For non Desi stuff, try Torchys, hopdoody, fogo De chao, velvet tacos, hobbit cafe, bubba’s burger shack, Thai Gourmet is the best Thai place,
