Verandah

My beau and I visited Verandah for the first time Feb. 25, 2024 and we were quite pleased with our experience. Being of Trinidadian descent, I am quite familiar with the Indian influence in our cuisine and I was excited to explore Verandah's menu. We had a large breakfast earlier, therefore for lunch we had the following: - Samosa - Kerala Shrimp - Verandah House Salad - 2 cocktails (not listed on website, but listed on menu in house) Chefs Sunil and Anupama were both in house and took the time to share details about our menu selection and even provided a tour of their restaurant. Sunil and Anupama were very kind with beautiful energy. It is quite apparent that they both love what they do, which is evident in the attention to detail in both the decor and cuisine. Of the 3 items we had, my favorite was the house salad which is so much more than any house salad I've had! The salad was presented beautifully in a gluten free shell with vibrant veggies and the chef's special vinaigrette (with a nice spicy kick) drizzled. This level of attention to detail, even for the house salad speaks to the level of intention Sunil, Anupama and their staff place on ensuring their guests feel seen, valued and appreciated. With Houstonians having so many choices when it comes to cuisine and restaurants with excellent food; customer service along with ambiance are areas that really allow restaurants to stand out. Sunil, Anupama and their Verandah team have these down! We look forward to experiencing dinner at the restaurant and how the ambiance feels at night with all of the beautiful glass and soft lighting. Thank you for having us Sunil and Anupama, we thoroughly enjoyed our lunch and will definitely return. Cheers! - Misha & Langston

We've been fans of Chef Sunil's food since the Great W'kana days on Airport Blvd. He continues to excel here at Verandah as well. We have tried the tasting menu several times (just call and tell him what theme you want!), and it has always been brilliant. Chef Sunil also makes modifications for me (Celiac and dairy free). And I absolutely love the pretty decor as well.
