Good, no nonsense place for Middle Eastern food. It was clean and neat. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. There is also a market attached. Lots of wonderful spices to choose from. Definitely, a good experience.

This place had the best falafel I have had since Israel! If you're looking for street fair from the Middle East this is the place! They also had a tantalizing buffet menu with Indian cuisine.The grocery side had to many hard to find Greek, Indian, and Middle Eastern items to count!

I had the Wednesday special, which was spicy buttered chicken over rice. It was fantastic! Not too spicy, but enough to enhance the flavor. Staff was super nice, and the restaurant was clean. The market has an interesting assortment of stuff to buy too.

This is Mediterranean food. Period. No burgers no fries. But the food and soup is excellent. Fresh veggies and meats. I've been coming here for 35 years, not one complaint from me. I recommend this place for good food. Vegetarian friendly

Great to find basic Middle Eastern and Indian spices,among other things. Wish they were able to carry Amul cheese, oh well, mozzarella is a good substitute!

Tasty meal comprised of a gyro and salad. Generous portions, fair price and friendly staff.

Ordered delivery through Uber. Our samosas, falafel and hummus were quite good. Unfortunately, however, the rest of the order was incorrect. We ordered a shawarma trio, and received two kabobs made of chunks of chicken breast. I am not a fan of chicken breast because it is often dry and tasteless, which is how I would describe this dish. It went largely uneaten. Too bad, was looking forward to the shawarma.

Ordered 5 beef shawarma sandwiches through Favor. The beef shawarma was overcooked to a point that it was almost a cream of meat. I believe shawarma supposed to be like small chopped pieces of grilled/pan fried meat and should not taste like boiled and creamed meat. I had better experience before but not this time.

It was very crowded today , so food took a little longer , then I got someone else's order , it came with a side of olives , so I just thought that was new. I had a gyro , very good the inside was perfect , not to much of onion or tatziki, but it had lettuce that I took out ( rust spots) the French fries are some of best in town ( double fried and fresh out of fryer) also go next door great stuff.

I wanted to get some hummus & pita bread for dinner. Honestly their price for this is the most reasonable place to buy it, it is about the same price but you get about 3x more compared to Eirinis Gyros & More. However the pita bread is thin and not homemade. I also decided to try a Lebanese salad, Tabbouleh. I tried this long time ago with some Lebanese college friends, very similar taste except they had more bulgar in it. Very unique but refreshing taste. I also had a chicken shawarma wrap with sauce and Lebanese relish & pickles. The chicken was good, the pickles & relish brought some crunch to some bites. They have a special plate Monday-Friday.I visited again, this time on a Wednesday to try their spicy butter chicken on Lebanese rice and pita bread. This was a great dish, it had big chunks of chicken breast and the sauce was a little spicy but not too spicy. The rice had lentils in it, very good tasting. The only thing that would make this dish better would be to cut the chicken pieces smaller. I think it would bring some moisture to the chicken.
Tried it for the first time and loved it. I love the small family owned business atmosphere and the food was delicious.

The attitude of the cashier was enough for me not to return EVER. He told us it was only take out, which is not true. He's just a pathetic lazy kid. Hopefully management takes care of this, because they are losing so many clients.

I don't normally review like this, but this is a special case, the other day, my family and I went about 45 minutes before closing, driving far away to get there, we found on this app, they had more than 4.5 stars! so we decided to go. Once we got there, the guy at the front said in a real bad mood, I'd we knew what to ask, we just got there and we wanted to see the menu, (next time we're leaving from a place like that), he said they were about to close, like pointing out they wanted to leave. My huge error was to ask for some food we wanted and this guy said everything will be ready in no more than 10 minutes. So we went into the small market to buy some stuff, just next door, 10 minutes later we were picking our food, and let me tell you, WE ARE SO SICK, stomach ache, all of us, diarrhea, and the food was not what we were excited about. I'm attaching the amount of fries as side order, but anyway, the worst experience ever! I don't recommend, nor the place, not only the bad manners of the waiter/cashier, but the food, it was AWEFUL, horrible! The worst in many years! That's how bad was it!

First place I visited after driving into to corpus. Decent food but most def lacking staff. Be prepared to wait 20 + min for any order. It was very noticable as they were all struggling. Food was decent and they most def did the best they could. Pro tip: grab a pomogrante juice with your next meal. It was really different!

Great diverse store with lots of awesome finds. My only tiny wish is that they offered smaller containers or packages of spices. It'll take years for our family to go through 8oz of coriander. But overall thrilled to have this market. Also, best priced labneh in town!
