Unique environment and great food. The small seating arrangement creates an intimate atmosphere. I highly recommend the pescatarian menu with the herbivore dessert. The green tomato cake with the cornflake ice cream exquisite.
My favorite meals were the crab with crispy shallots and the crayfish go
An amazing journey through neo-soul cuisine. Each dish an ode to African American History. Chef Rhodes creates a very intimate dining experience, eloquently describing the cultural and historical elements of his tasting menu. In particular, the
great depth of flavour and layering of multiple element
My first fine dining experience which definitely exceeded all expectations! I'm not going to lie, the first 2 courses of an oyster and delicious creamy crab meat were good but did you wanting more. I thought that this would merely be a tasting experience as opposed to an actual meal, and I was very
Great unique menu, atmosphere, and service. My wife and I frequented Indigo for our birthdays and couldn't be happier with our choice. The restaurant layout is unique set in a large "u" shaped table facing a sliding bookshelf that hides the kitchen. I really enjoyed observing the team prepare our di
Excellent...a creative, flavor filled evening intertwined with an exceptional Black American history lesson. Loved how Chef Rhodes took essential classic soul food and created such a memorable savory experience. It was their first sitting after the August break and the teams timing was a bit off res
Great food and a great EXPERIENCE.... This is about history, passion, and good food. Place is next to a convenience store in an old formerly abandoned building. Chef Johnny used to play on these streets growing up, and inspired him to open this restaurant in that same community. Fine dining in a tot
The place to go for a culinary experience without the whistles and bells. Located in a quaint shopping center in forth ward. Very simple ambiance (curtain window, no dining room ventilation). Food is the focus. A set menu, two seatings each evening, pre-payment online required. Chef would explai
Indigo is a remarkable, one-of-a-kind place that is well off the beaten path. We discovered this place through Eater Houston’s “16 Hottest Restaurants - January, 2019” (Indigo occupied the #1 spot). The service is highly personalized, and the opportunity to learn about the cultural history and con
One of the most amazing and inspiring dining experiences I have had in Houston. Chef Jonny Rhodes opened Indigo in the neighborhood where he grew up, transforming a space that had sat vacant for over 20 years. With only 13 seats at one communal table, Jonny has created an intimate setting to showcas
This was by far one of the best meals I’ve had in Houston/ever. Do whatever you can to get a seat to dine here. The chef puts his heart and soul into every single dish and it shows. Every dish has a story that the chef comes out and describes dish by dish. Best duck we’ve ever had! Ashcakes, yams an
Wonderfully imaginative and tasty food. Love everything from the glassware to the cutlery- and did I mention the food? Intimate atmosphere and friendly service. A memorable and onderful birthday!
Beautifully presented set course menu, with an interesting historical back story to each dish.
To bifurcate the evening into traditional categories such as "food", "service", "value", "atmosphere", etc is to completely miss out on the cumulative impact of the unique experience. The price feels VERY reasonable, especially considering that the restaurant is only configured to serve a couple of
Went to Indigo for the 6pm seating of the classic menu with a group of 5, I loved the food and it was a great experience. Usually tasting menus don’t fill me up but this one did. The portion sizes were good, and every single bite was delicious! I added the bread course and the okra seed coffee. I hi
The most incredible fine dining experience I have experienced so far in Houston. Johnny and his team were outstanding. Especially Bourbon who seemed to be a connoisseur of sorts. I love that throughout covid they have turned it into a grocery store selling the same quality of food. This place is leg
Indigo is a very unique experience. The passion the chef has for the food and his way of setting the historical context is unparalleled in any other restaurant I have visited anywhere. Multiple dishes had ingredients that took years to make so it is well worth the price tag for cost and quality.
