Traveler’s Cart Restaurant Review

Nothing beats finding the perfect restaurant with various global cuisines for you to fulfill your foodie needs. Houston’s newest restaurant gem, Traveler’s Cart is a must-visit. Owners Matthew and Thy Mitchell, who also own Traveler’s Table, created Traveler’s Cart to bring Houstonians a taste of global street food inspired by their time traveling and love of international cuisine. From the moment you step inside, you travel into a vibrant world of culinary diversity. The restaurant’s modern concept is simple yet brilliant, providing patrons with a range of global cuisine in one amazing restaurant. Whether you want to indulge in spices from the East or savory, rich flavors from the Mediterranean, Traveler’s Cart provides patrons with a tasty, unique dining experience.

I had the pleasure of visiting Traveler’s Cart recently. The moment you step inside, you are immersed in an atmosphere that is vibrant and casual with decor that showcases different cultures. As you make your way through the restaurant you have the choice of dining inside or dining at the laid-back patio to enjoy the fresh air. I had the opportunity to explore the mouthwatering selection of dishes that highlight the restaurant’s commitment to bold flavors and amazing textures from across the globe. One of the standouts was the Pan-Fried Cumin Lamb Dumplings that is served with a crispy golden exterior that is the perfect amount of heat to make every bite better without being overwhelming. What made the Lamb Dumplings even more delicious was the black vinegar and garlic aioli sauce that is perfectly paired to dip into. Another great dish I tried out was the Falafel Bites, made up of chickpea fritters served with purple beet hummus and tahini with an herb salad. The Falafel was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. You taste the earthiness of the Falafel, which makes the dish well-balanced and makes me crave more!

Another must-have dish to try out at Traveler’s Cart is the beloved street food snack, Butter Chicken Samosa. This golden flaky pastry is crisped to perfectly right and is filled with smoked yogurt-marinated chicken that is bursting with flavor, served with tomato marsala to dip into. This comforting dish is packed with all the richness and warmth you are looking for in one bite! Another dish standout that is fresh off the grill is the “Head On” Shrimp Satay. This dish brings a rush of freshness with each bite, and the prawn is cooked to perfection and oozes a clean and bright flavor that is refreshing. It is the perfect dish to try out and cleanse your palate and is a standout compared to the complex and richer flavors on the menu. Lastly, if you are looking to indulge in something sweet, I highly recommend the Greek Apricot Soufra, This sweet pastry is as buttery as it is flaky, and filled with apricot, which brings the perfect level of sweetness enough to fulfill your sweet tooth craving without being overwhelming.

The Bar at Traveler’s Cart offers patrons a well-curated selection of drinks to choose from that can be perfectly paired with the diverse and bold flavors of the menu. Whether you’re in the mood for a refreshing cocktail such as Fast Boat to Havana which is a frozen passionfruit mango mojito, or a beautifully crafted classic such as Peaches Down in Georgia, which is a peach cobbler old-fashioned, these selections are inspired and created from global influences that can enhance your dining experience to another level. For those looking to sip on something laid-back, with the selection of wines and craft beers such as their Bodini Malbec, Frenzy Sauvignon Blac, and Draft Beer such as Pacifico & Karbach Love Street Light, there is a drink for everyone to enjoy!

In summary, if you’re seeking to discover a world of new flavors and global cuisine that feels familiar and fresh, Traveler’s Cart is the perfect destination to be at! Whether you’re a fan of seafood, grilled meat, or mouthwatering desserts, Houston’s newest gem offers patrons a globally diverse menu that promises to deliver something for everyone!
