Okemos Restaurant Guide

Travelers Club, International Restaurant and Tuba Museum was born from the idea of Jennifer and William's travels and passions. The idea for the "traveling" menu was born of the tastes of these two people, who loved to cook feasts of ethnic food - but didn't like to cook the same thing too often! Jennifer's affinity for exotic cuisine began as a youngster living for three years in Iran and two years in Africa with her parents. Their extensive travels through Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Asia gave her ample opportunity to explore local markets and regional food specialties. William developed his taste for Mexican, European, and Indian foods from his travels abroad and the ethnic mix of the Detroit area. The collusion of these epicurean omnivores made for a never ending discourse in feasting technology. Consequently, the food served here represents authentic cuisine of the region - cooked and presented in a healthy, well balanced, and aesthetic fashion.

Some of the details you may not notice - many of the herbs, greens, and flowers we use are grown in our organic gardens throughout the property, which includes the historic Dr. James Smiley House (one of the first Township Supervisors, built c.1870). We are one of the very few restaurants that recycles all our cans, bottles, and plastic. Also, unlike most places, we don't generally use pre-made products. Even our soup is made from scratch, and we use as many local and Michigan-made products as possible. We hope this attention to detail leaves you with a delicious and enjoyable experience!
