Crystal McBradyDecember 5, 2013Do not leave that place without getting the fried cauliflower! It's the only thing that is permanently on the menu. It changes every 5 weeks. This place has one of the best 90's hip hop playlists too!Upvote1Downvote- Houston PressAugust 4, 2014Kevin Naderi has created Roost as a reflection of his own culinary inspirations: It’s farm-to-table, by way of Persian, Japanese, Thai, Korean & Mediterranean flavors alongside local craft beer.

Adrian PhillipsMay 14, 2015Stopped in here driving from New Orleans to Austin. Fantastic meal. The fried cauliflower was amazing, beef short rib incredible and the gulf fish with cheesy grits was delicious. Menu is seasonal.UpvoteDownvote- Andres NovoaNovember 1, 2015Very nice, casual and intimate place. Their signature cauliflower and bread/butter flight appetizers are amazing! The menu is seasonal and I've yet to be disappointed!!Upvote1Downvote
Kenny MaukApril 21, 2013Well priced, cozy -amazing smells from the kitchen spur menu curiosity. My friend had the pork chop and I had the oven roasted chicken breast. Both are recommended along with house wine selections.Upvote1Downvote
EaterJuly 30, 2012Small, casual and well priced, chef Kevin Naderi deftly balances New American techniques with his Persian heritage to make dishes like roasted cauliflower topped with bonito flakes. [Eater 38 Member]Upvote5Downvote
Yueyue GuoJune 9, 2015Cauliflower rightfully deserves the hype. Crab cake is pure crab, no added flour nonsense, so definitely get that, too. Scallops were super tender and well seasonedUpvoteDownvote

Leah JohnsonNovember 3, 2012They change out the menu every 3-4 weeks so you always have new items to try. But the roasted cauliflower -It's always there & the sauce is amazing!!Upvote1Downvote
Otilio Reyes RdgzJuly 18, 2013Great little place, the food was even better. Overall a very pleasant experience. Check out their wine variety and seasonal menuUpvoteDownvote
Jeffrey WootenMay 4, 2013Pork chop rivals Feast's. Get the buffalo sweetbread if it is on the menu. Mussels w/bread pudding in the middle are excellent also.UpvoteDownvote- Houston PressOctober 10, 20122012 Best of Houston Winner: Best Bistro.Check out more Houston Press Winners here:http://www.houstonpress.com/bestof/ Or go moblie with the free Best Of app.Upvote1Downvote
