2 miles away. Here's a recent review (April 2016): Not only was this an experience because of the quality of food that I had today but also because of the service and atmosphere. I have been to some of the top restaurants in the world and this little place is second to none, I mean nobody, none, zip ziltch zero nobody! Also, the food kept coming until you told them to stop! Be afraid not to try this place, be very afraid. Would definitely recommend. I gave it 5 stars only because Yelp won't let me give it 10 stars. http://maharajabhog.com/

About 25 miles southeast of Houston on the west side of Clear Lake, the Houston Space Center - the official Visitor Center of NASA's Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center - is the city's most important tourist attraction. Little wonder, as this is the home of the world-famous Mission Control, the monitoring center for all NASA manned space flights. The Visitor Center boasts an excellent space exhibition with film shows, models of space capsules, astronauts' rations, samples of moon rock, and a variety of objects collected during the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo space programs. Visitors can try on astronaut helmets, steer a spacecraft in a fun simulator, wander around huge rockets, and even have lunch with a real astronaut.
