Portuguese and Indian flavors live in harmony at da Gama Canteen, located in Houston Heights. Named after the Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama, this restaurant from Chefs Shiva and Rick Di Virgilio draws inspiration from the Portuguese Indian territories of Goa, East Africa and Portugal. Expect a tapas-style menu displaying a fascinating fusion of the two cultures with bold and vibrant flavors. Must-orders include chana masala, or braised chickpeas and potatoes served with basmati rice, and beef mishkaki, an East African-style marinated beef tenderloin with fried yuca, kachumber and raita. A piping hot pastel de nata with flaky shell and rich, creamy custard is the perfect send-off.
