Here are what we think are the top five restaurants in the Clear Lake area, in alphabetical order:

Cuisine India
Established in 1989, this family-run restaurant features authentic North Indian and Nepalese cuisine from time-honored recipes that have been passed on to succeeding generations. Traditional favorites include Tandoori chicken, Nepalese achari fish, masala, freshly baked naan, fish curry, saagpaneer, basmati rice, and more. Try their combination dinners, which give you a sampling of various dishes like kebabs or an all-vegetable spread.

Frenchie’s Italian Restaurant
Frenchie’s has been a popular dining spot since the 1980s, and is practically considered an institution in these parts, mostly with NASA employees, whose pictures of its astronauts and space vehicles adorn the walls. It’s a family-owned restaurant that serves Italian staples like lasagna, gnocchi, fettuccine Alfredo, manicotti, eggplant parmigiana, meatball casserole, chicken piccata, and many more, in huge portion servings that can be split among several people. The small and cozy neighborhood eatery atmosphere seems just right for a good, family-friendly meal, and it’s not surprising why folks keep coming back.

Masa Sushi
A Japanese fusion restaurant and sushi bar, Masa Sushi incorporates a blend of cultures that combines traditional Japanese recipes with splashes of French culinary influences, all within a homey, peaceful and welcoming atmosphere. Chef Michael Zhou does Texas-style sushi best, which uses big pieces of fish as compared to Japanese style sushi that has smaller portions. Diners can pair their meals with beverages that include a variety of wines and beers, as well as some rare imports.

Mediterraneo Market & Cafe
Tucked within a Tudor-styled strip mall is this classic Mediterranean dining establishment that serves traditional Middle Eastern dishes like hummus, baba ganoush, gyros, falafel and kebabs, along with baklava, moussaka, chicken marsala, ossobuco, and more, with a diverse wine selection that features vintages from Bulgaria, Croatia, Turkey, and Russia, just to name a few. The “market” in their name actually refers to a grocery store inside where you can buy imported snacks, coffee, chocolates, and other specialties. Mediterraneo has a charming outside patio with lush greenery, but it’s the atmosphere and ambience that makes it noteworthy, making you feel that you’re somewhere in the Mediterranean.

Perry’s Steakhouse & Grille
One of the premier steakhouses in the country, this family-owned and operated restaurant started out as a meat market and was founded with a mission of serving only the finest cuts of hand-selected USDA-aged prime steaks. These are cut fresh daily and Perry’s is known for its outstanding service. For over 20 years, Perry’s Steakhouse & Grille has been a local favorite in the Clear Lake community with its distinctive signature dishes that are carved tableside, including specialties like Perry’s Famous Pork Chop and an award-winning menu featuring symphony kabob, chateau briand, fried asparagus, and other classics with a modern twist, paired with wines that perfectly complement the menu.
