Opinions de Da Gama Canteen Houston
it’s a 4.5 for me if i’m being very picky with details. I loved my food. I got chicken curry, peanut chicken tikka, the gun powder fries and boondi raita. (they were out of mango lassi which was sad but understandable). Fiancée loved the crab panipuri but didn’t like the goan fish curry given he got a potato in it whilst it wasn’t mentioned in the menu. Wish they had the tables a bit apart.
We always love coming here. The cozy atmosphere, excellent food, and attentive service never disappoint. Their tiramisu and sangria are absolute standouts—highly recommend! There happy hours is till 6pm and worth checking out.
The Da Gama Canteen is a fantastic spot for family or business gatherings! I absolutely love their unique blend of Portuguese-Indian cuisine, which keeps me coming back to explore more delicious menu items. Their butter chicken has a lovely hint of sweetness that perfectly balances the spices, making it a treat for the taste buds. And don’t get me started on the Portuguese egg custard—it's simply delightful and reminds me of the Chinese version I adore. I can’t wait to revisit Da Gama and try even more of their amazing dishes!
This place is top tier and has a great atmosphere. Very attentive service at the bar. We went for “social hour” (happy hour) and the prices couldn’t be beat. The pizzettes (naan pizzas) are a steal, the $4 sangria is delightful, and the pakora portion was excellent. We also had the fish goan curry- the flavor was rich, even if portion isn’t huge. Be prepared to share a bunch of small plates and you won’t be disappointed. This has to be one of the better happy hours in Houston in my opinion. Definitely a solid choice for upscale Indian food in Houston.
We were so happy we came across da Gama! Located in the MKT Plaza, they fuse Indian and Portuguese cuisines beautifully! We came for lunch, ordered the lunch specials which include an appetizer, entree, and dessert for $25! If you’re ordering the power bowl, just a heads up that it is served cold. We wish this was notated on the menu (the reason we took it down one star for food, but it was still good, just unexpected). The portions are larger than what I would normally think for a lunch meal, so there was food to take home for leftovers. All in all, we’ll be back!
What an absolutely delightful food experience! From the starters to the creamy masala chai at the end of the meal, as well as the welcoming, warm environment and the knowledgeable and attentive service, made this one of the best restaurant meals I’ve had in a very long time. Highly recommend.
Samosa Spicy and crunchy really tasty complementary tomato sauce Prego comes with fries and sauce Very tasty soft homemade bread. Tender stake and very well seasoned fries Pastel de nata Crunchy outside and soft inside and sweet this is must try! I also got a capuchino very tasty and foamy My server was Ruben very kind and advising on what I should get! Definitely planing on coming back!
I enjoyed everything we ordered! The pani puri and salad were my favorites. Can’t wait to come back and try more of their menu. Parking is available in the MKT lot, though it can be a bit hectic. No wait for a table for 6 at 6pm on a Friday (plenty of seating available that early).
Very close to Aquarium. Very fresh pizza, the naan dough was fresh too and we loved it. Goan prawns had the authentic Goan flavor and chili paneer was something different from other restaurants and I absolutely loved it and I must say the paneer and prawns were very fresh. The Goan old monk cocktail was the best. We sat outside even though it was very hot outside they have lot of fans around to cool the atmosphere down. Our server was very nice and very friendly and the food came within 10 minutes. They really have the fastest service. Anyone visiting the downtown area must visit this beautiful restaurant!
Bright, airy, open and comfortable w nice dining views of the adjacent parkway. I really like the combination of culinary flavors and traditions that come together here. The quality of the ingredients, the thoughtful nature of the seasonings, always leaves me wanting to have just one more dish added to our order even though I know I couldn’t possibly finish everything. Bring friends to share plates is my recommendation, and explore the menu w pleasure. Service has always been friendly for our lunches and we have occasionally stopped by in the morning to order espresso bevs from the walk up window on our rides as their beans are solid. Enjoy.
Da Gama delivers an incredible brunch experience with bold flavors and a sophisticated, artsy atmosphere. Highlights included the French toast with blackberries and pistachios, paratha tofu and chorizo tacos, and the Prego. Pair your meal with a chai tea, mimosa, or their crisp filtered water. Service was exceptional, especially from our waiter Daniel. We’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend. The food is fresh, absolutely delicious with explosive flavors. Something for every eater picky or not.
da Gama is located in the MKT plaza, and is an Indian-Portuguese fusion restaurant. I have been a few times and have only tried the Indian dishes, such as Mum’s chicken curry, pork vindaloo, garlic naan, sh pani puri, and gulab jamun. I also tried their cauliflower naan pizzette and the kale and goat cheese naan pizzette. Their social hours aka happy hour deals are pretty good; you can get the naan pizzettes for half off along with some wines by the glass. The garlic naan and the naan pizzettes are crispy, light, and airy. I like to dip the pizzettes in the curry for an even more fusion twist~ My favorite curry is the pork vindaloo; it’s spicier than the other curries and has the most flavor. The others are chicken-based. The pani puri was pretty big, but you can eat them in one bite and only come with two. They were refreshing, but I do wish they came with more. The gulab jamun sundae was okay. The balls were a bit hard from being sandwiched in ice cream. I have had gulab jamun where the ice cream is placed on top and the balls are still soft and warm and would have preferred it more that way~ The inside is spacious, and they also have a good amount of seating outside, too, for when the weather is nice. Service can be a little slow when it is packed, and the food takes some time to come out both when it is busy and not too busy during lunch time. I think da Gama is good for shareable dishes, and the deals during their social hours would be a great time to try their dishes. Their naan and pizzetes are my favorites, especially with the pork vindaloo. Hoping to try their other dishes next!
Went there for restaurant week and it was really a culmination of two different cuisines Portuguese which is primarily seafood based with some potatoes and other issues and also Indian. For example, we have muscles and traditionally they are in white wine but this was in a curry sauce which was great. The wait staff was great. Very accommodating. Food was good on time. Prepared seasoned definitely recommend them.
Good food, interesting fusion of ingredients. We ordered the Goan Fish curry, lamb ribs, aloo chat, dhokla, piri piri chicken- food was flavor full. Ras Malai cake and Bolacha cake tasted great too! The portion size is small for the price and is not shareable. The restaurant has a nice vibe and good locality. Plenty of parking.
I really liked their breakfast that I enjoyed on the patio with my dog! We ordered tacos that were $9 each but were really big, almost the size of a burrito. My mocha was tasty as well. It’s a dog friendly patio and there’s a walk up window to order your food, so super convenient if you want to stop by really quick with your pup! 🐶
The menu here is a fusion of Portuguese and Indian. I had a gem salad and a steak sandwich with gunpowder fries. The steak was surprisingly tender and very tasty. The fries were lightly dusted and crispy. The food was good and the service I received was absolutely outstanding! I ended with an alfajores cookie, one of the best I’ve ever had!
As a desi who is familiar with Indian cuisine and has tried various flavours from India this restaurant left me wanting a bit more. I was excited about the pain puri, but really disappointed with the crab filling and the accompaniment water, both tasteless. The server later told us that we could have gotten a vegan option which she thought was much better than this option on the menu but it’s only available if you ask and are aware. We also ordered a patatas bravas appetiser which was essentially aloo gobhi with complex taste and just didn’t cut the mark and seemed really overpriced. We also ordered the Goan curry the fish curry for which the restaurant actually received the Michelin star for and it seemed like most of their curries, including the curry as well as the MoM’s chicken curry had more of potato in it than the protein and that was a little bit disappointing. I did however, enjoy the taste of the mom‘s chicken curry and the naans were great but just seemed overpriced overall for the portion sizes. The masala fries were also burnt but the aioli tasted really good. Both our server and the host who seated us were very nice.
I’ve surely never heard of Portuguese Indian spot — what a combo! And a combo that delivers! Insane pairings of flavors and spices, along with the textures. It’s a treat — no wonder Michelin has made its way here. Highly recommend the cauliflower pizzette, also don’t skip on the dessert. Sadly the service is very sub par, going from too much and too often to quite careless and pushing us out when we weren’t ready to pay and leave. Would recommend still and return!
