“Great food and good service. Nice ambiance as there are two big patios and tables are spread out so your not sitting to close to others. They do sell hookah but the smoke wasn't overwhelming like some other establishments and plus the patio is wide and open. No alcoholic drinks but some very tasty mocktails. I subtracted one star due to the valet being so unorganized.“
“As A TRANS person I was never misgendered at KASRA today . The server I believe is of Turkish background and addressed me as Madam not sir or monsieur . Which happens frequently even if I am in very Feminine attire. And always it’s American born millennials. It’s people from foreign countries who have a thing or two that American Born Hospitality workers need to take note of.. I am not someone that demands to be addressed in my correct Gender. I don’t let it bother me. However your tip does depend upon more than you refilling my tea glass . KASRA has impressed me with their Food more than once already. Todays visit we ordered Lamb and the vegetarian sampler with #’s 1,2,3 The Lamb shank is a fall off the Bone tender succulent piece of meat . The flavor is not overwhelming but in the right proportion. My friend added salt to her rice but I did not. The rice was perfect for me. I saw a review of another place that was critical of that places rice because it wasn’t salty enough. And while eating at Bludorn the table next to me was complaining about the rice being unsalted. Note:Don’t believe half the reviews you read on google . Some people have bad taste and do not know what good food is . But I do … if I say GO! You need to Go! I did 4 FOUR reviews on restaurants in Houston that are James Beard Finalists BEFORE THEY MADE THE LIST !. I broke my Fast of Five (5) Days at KASRA on Sunday , 17th of March . This was a time for inner reflection . I Am 90 days Sober now . . This just was a pure coincidence my fast took place the same time as Ramadan. . First off the starting line ?Thank you for your warm hospitality your food could have been terrible and I would still give 5 stars . I had such an incredible experience, everything was perfect. And the place is beautiful with other happy people. I’m hoping that reading this you will go and spend time here and money. This restaurant should be supported because of the great food and hospitality. The staff just aren’t order takers they are Oder coaches I have a personal life coach that I consult with and now I can count on the staff here to help out with my decisions on food items I have no idea about.“
“I tried this food truck today for the first time, wanted some good .shawerma and falafil raps. I'm telling everyone this place is a GEM I highly recommend this authentic palestinin food truck. Food was delicious and most importantly it was fresh made to order. My family and I will be ordering from them again.“
“It was my first time eating here yesterday and I must say the hospitality is impeccable, the man that was assisting us unfortunately I didn’t get his name, but he gave the best service and went beyond expectations to ensure that we felt comfortable and enjoyed our food. Will definitely be visiting again.“
“Our family of ten folks thoroughly enjoyed the food! We were recommended to try the tasting menu - and it was a hit! We got to sample so many of the delicious appetizers and entrees and we all were stuffed. Highly recommend the food and service - we were treated like family.“
“Recently got invited to b' day dinner there and gosh the food was good. Perhaps I was hungry but I felt the portions (rice) was small, but the lamb with combo basmatti rice with grilled tomatoes was heavenly ?. They substituted the original onions with carrots, which were grilled, and it paired so well!!“
“Everything is delicious, it is a very good option for all those who want to maintain the diet without sacrificing flavor, the employees are very friendly and respectful, the atmosphere is very pleasant and warm, ideal for going alone or with a group. You will love it.“
“Friendly attentive staff, delicious food, and incredible atmosphere. We ordered the Sarma which was hearty and delicious beef and rice cooked in a delicate tomato sauce. Don’t leave without ordering the beef, cheese, or spinach Burek. We will definitely be returning soon!“
“There is no other place that brings Israeli food to Houston like this!!! First of all it is clean which is very important to me that this is homemade food, secondly you can see that the owner of the place does everything with love and from the heart and this is also reflected in the taste of the food so thank you for delicious food and the affordable price.I will definitely come back again!“
“I was driving by and decided to try it for dinner. The food was excellent. Service was great. They were very accommodating to my friends need for a low sodium meal.I had the Adana Kabab the flavor was amazing. Give it a try, you will not be “
“The Ramadan iftar at Ayintap Mediterranean Grill was absolutely splendid! The food was exquisite, and the ambiance was incredibly serene. The staff were courteous and attentive, making our evening truly enjoyable. Bulent Chef went above and beyond by personally preparing and serving me the spicy kebab from the menu in a mild, non-spicy version. It was a thoughtful gesture that made my dining experience at Ayintap Mediterranean Grill truly exceptional. I appreciated the extra attention to my preferences. Had a wonderful time with my wife. Can't wait to return for more culinary delights!“
“Today we had a group meeting lunch, I chose Kasra Persian Grill for its wonderful atmosphere and friendly staff. Thanks to Mehrdad who helped us having an unforgettable moments and my special thanks to Maria who took care of our orders. She patiently gave us a great service. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for great and high quality food.“
“Excellent beef suya sandwich and sweet potatoes fries, but pricy. Menu prices are not updated so look in the website for current prices. The difference is about $10. Gratuity of 20% is included even if you are only 1 person. I spent $39 for an excellent hamburger with sweet potatoes fries and 1 beer. ?, but only 1 person.“
“We went for iftaar and everything in the buffet was so fresh and so authentic! It was really good! The customer service was top notch as well! The manager and head chef served up even though it was a buffet they kept bringing up drinks and soup! I definitely recommend trying it out!“
“The place was nice, and the waiters were great!! The food was amazing. I would recommend the tasting menu but go there hungry because it is a lot of food. However, we did not know the place became like a nightclub after 10. We did leave earlier because it was too much. So, if you are not looking for that scene, I would get there earlier.“
“Chicken Charmoula bowl. The food here is good, the chicken is tender and the food tastes very fresh. However, the protein portion is pretty small. Not the same case for the sides or rice, but the protein portion is quite small, which is why I gave 4 stars. If the protein portion increases, this would be my go to lunch spot!“
“This is a laid back family style place that is so delicious. There are some food items that are a little different than the Mediterranean food we are all seen. It’s fairly priced and all the recipes are flavorful fresh and fun to try. Love this place. And pretty day on the patio. This is a great place to be!“
“We had recently gotten married at the wine cellar here, followed by the nine course menu with the Premium wine pairing. We were beyond pleased with every aspect of the evening. The food was phenomenal. The wine was wonderful, and so perfectly paired. And to top it off, the service was outstanding. Also, watch out! The bar makes such tasty drinks! You would think you wouldn’t drink more in addition to a 9 course wine paring…but the cocktails were so fabulous we just kept drinking up!We couldn’t be more grateful to Mae, who helped us coordinate the evening weeks before. She is very lovely and helpful. And the night wouldn’t be what it was without Cody… He led us through the cocktail room down to the wine cellar, and then to the private room for the remainder of our evening. He has amazing personality, I felt like he was part of our party!Thank you so much for making our evening perfect!“
“Wow. Ordered this on Uber eats cause I seen a reel on IG. And they were not exaggerating about how good this is!!!! So much flavor in each bite. Had the tacos, wraps and chicken wings over rice. My fav were the wings. Smoky and delicious!!!! I will definitely be getting this again.“
“I have a nutrition certification and this place passes all of my tests for good quality food. I got decaf coffee and the eggless pancakes. Great! You must try it. They make all of their food from scratch and make a lot of homemade sauces. So worth going!“
“A group of 8 of us came and glad we picked this place to have lunch.Kids preferred double rice and I got the gyro beef. Staff is friendly and accommodating as we were trying to figure out if the kids wanted vegetables or toppings (parent life).Very generous with the white sauce and actually asked if we wanted more while we dined, which was very sweet of her.Remember to download the app and scan your account at checkout. We forgot and the app doesn’t allow for receipt scans.Clean store, quick service, and the order ahead feature someone used seemed pretty quick.Only suggestion would be to find a way to keep the rice and meat a bit hotter (temperature).“
“Was here last Friday, lunchtime. The food is good, the service is ok. Location if you work in the area is practical. Ordered 1 protein and 2 half sides, chicken kabob, tabuli and ganush. Will be back a second time and try something different“
“My daughter made a mobile order and she ordered to the wrong location. Even though they had prepared the food at the other location , Cis helped us out and made the food at Bellaire with no extra charge. Great customer service, highly recommend!Vegetarian options: My vegetarian daughter eats here a lot so it must be good!“
“This is more of a buffet place. Definitely spacious and it gets busy. You choose your food, pay and then sit down to eat. No frills. Food was good (had fish rice, which got cold quickly though). I'm not crazy for Middle Eastern food but food was good and came at a fair price. Good place for a quick meal.Vegetarian options: Lots of veggie dishes available.“
“We stopped here to eat lunch after an appointment we had on their side of town. I was leary at first because I don't drink and initially thought from the name that it would be more along the lines of bar food. Pleasantly surprised at their extensive menu. The food was good. Interestingly enough, the menu and plates mimic that of Local Table - almost to a "t". I had the kabob plate and didn't see a difference in the presentation or flavor. I wonder if the owner of 401 owns Local Table.“
“This is Mediterranean style fare with great steaks. It is a laidback pace and the food is seasoned but not Texas hot.Our waiter was great his assistants were constantly refillng our water and busing amd cleaning the table.Get the cutting board to share your entrees and enjoy the flaming bone marrow!“
“Me and my family went there after a day at the Rodeo. I ordered the Island Greek Salad, which was delicious! I think my husband ordered a burger, and my mom, I think the Caesar Salad with Cod. At first, they forgot to add the cod to my mom's salad, and she had to wait a while for them to bring it out, but other than that, it was pretty good! It looked like a good place to get healthy food. I'd probably go there again if I'm in the area.“
“It lives up to the name, Fresh! I would certainly give this place more than 5 stars if I could. Not only is the food here delicious, the service is great and the facility is clean & convenient. They have numerous food choices for everyone's palate, including Halal meat choices. The prices are fairly reasonable and they do not skimp out on portions either. I've tried the Philly Cheesesteak with Fries and the Spicy Southwest Chicken Sandwich, both of which were delicious! If you are looking for tasty, healthy, and affordable food, do give this spot a try!“
“Adored this Arabic cafe! Exceptional food and service. They offer a delightful mix of Turkish, Greek, and Arabic cuisine.The lady serving us is both professional and kind, making the experience attentive and easy to enjoy. The outdoor ambiance is cozy, perfect for late-night gatherings with friends and family. Plus the prices are exceptionaly fair. Highly recommended.“
“Affordable authentic Turkish cuisine. Convenient location near TMC.Lentil soup a must, we tried home delivery and selected various kabob meals and sandwiches.Vegetable, cheese Turkish Burecks good to try as appetizers.Lamb, beef & chicken selections are fresh with good seasonings.?“
“EXCELLENT food and service!! I had cataract bread that came out after I took this pic, but it was delicious and full of the spice!! So tasty! BUT … I do like the Zatar bread with a lil more crunch. Everything was delicious though!! The pita chips (very flavorful) too!! AND it was happy hour so the bill came to $10 off with tip included!!“

“Talk about an amazing experience! Late night reservation for two. Such great service from hostess to a very clean bathroom . Food was delicious , hot and presentable. I wasn’t expecting this level of elegance connected to the Galleria Mall. .“
“Everything is delicious and the service is great. I'm gluten free and it's very easy to find something here.Dietary restrictions: Everything on the menu is clearly labeled, which makes it easy to see what's vegan or gluten free.“
“Hungry so stopped by for quick lunch in the galleria. Large indoor space and ample patio dining. Chicken sandwich was tasty with juicy chicken and it was nice and warm. The fries are more big potato wedges but also fine Casual, clean bathrooms, full stomach Recommended if you are close by! Pricing is $17.58“
“Cheese with parley mannoushe is amazing. The cheese and bread are fresh and delicious. Best to eat as soon as it comes out of the oven.I was told the shawarma here was one of the best in town but unfortunately it didn’t live up to the hype. It was cold and the chicken didn’t have any “OG” shawarma sear on it.The sujjok wrap was also served warm/cool and was basically minced beef with sujjok seasonings.“
“Ward Café surpassed all expectations for our recent event, particularly our Ramadan Iftar celebration. The food was exceptional, bursting with flavor and expertly prepared. The café's ambiance, with its charming hemisphere setting, provided the perfect backdrop for our gathering. The owner and staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring a memorable experience for all. Highly recommended for any occasion. We look forward to returning soon!“
“Al Hawi Food Truck is a hidden gem in Houston, undoubtedly a top 10 spot to eat! Their lamb and beef skewers are the best, boasting very tender meat and perfect cooking. The staff is exceptionally friendly, and although there's no seating, parking is usually hassle-free with ample space behind the truck at the supermarket. The food, always freshly cooked, might take a bit if they're busy, but it's worth the wait. Open till late, they consistently serve hot, delicious food. A must-try for food enthusiasts!“
“It is a very nice place, I could say fancy, very suitable for making reviews, or uploading content to Instagram or Tik Tok, they have a Hookah service, the food is a different concept and if you like to try new flavors you can go there. I loved the fact that they had colorful NON-alcoholic drinks, they tasted delicious. That place is highly recommended to me.“
“I shop here weekly and have nothing but good things to say. Mostly I purchase pita bread (in varying sizes) along with Zaatar Manakeesh. The bread is always fresh, delicious and well priced. They also have the ability to take orders for large purchases if you need it for an event or just have a large family. For other items I would recommend the date maamoul , labneh, hot sauce, or tabouli which are all made in house. Droubis also carries various mediterranean cheeses so I make sure to grab some from their deli. The owner and staff are great people and I always enjoy the conversations I have with them.“
“Came in and was honestly just so appreciative of the service and hospitality. Asked me what I wanted on my bowl, gave me great portions and the food was amazing. Seasoned perfect, veggies were cold and crisp just everything was on point. I'm from Austin but will definitely hit this spot up next time I'm in Houston!!!“
“Went there for a charity function to raise money for orphans. Outstanding Banquet hall. Service was amazing and timely. The food from the appetizers, main courses, and dessert was delicious. The Sayadia - Fish and rice dish was the star. Highly recommend for special event functions.“

“Ahmed is the guy. Abu Omar food doesn’t need any review because it’s a brand of quality but i will talk about the immense effort that Ahmed pays in customer service. His attitude and performance is second to none.Keep the good work AhmedThanks for the splendid effort.“
“We loved the food at Cava. These are bowls which you can customize to whatever you want. The vegetables are so fresh. Don't miss out on the yogurt dill, it's healthy and delicious with any bowl or pita wrap. I have had the spicy greens, Harissa avocado and spicy falafel bowls, and have no complaints on any of them. Also, don't miss out on the FREE side of warm pita bread, it just adds an extra Mediterranean experience to it. The ambience has a more fast food feel, so it's not a fancy place to sit, however the food makes up for it. The employees at this store are so helpful and quick.“
“This place just opened, and they are so nice and friendly, it's inside the Dudestop new gas station, I ordered a Philly cheese steak with no onion or bell pepper, and add mushrooms due my food allergy, and they fixed it with no complaints and were happy to serve me. My daughter had the chicken sandwich, it was so delicious, hot fresh and fast. They stay open till 2 am on weekends and midnight during the week. He made sure to let us know they take phone orders and will have it ready as soon as we arrive. Definitely will be returning, as I was so hungry 8 forgot to take pictures. It's a 10 out of 10. Come on in and try them .Vegetarian options: They have falafel and just vegetarian options as well as regular foods. Dietary restrictions: They will customize your order with joy. I am allergic to onions and they made sure to not put onions anywhere near my food. “
“Amazing amazing spot!! The food is full of spices thus oozes with flavor!! There are great menu options including raw juices. The inside is a very cool, contemporary atmosphere — it’s the best place in the strip mall! Give it a go; it will not disappoint!“
“Best grilled chicken EVER! My 1st visit but I'll definitely be back to try other items. The chicken, rice, bread and humus were fabulous!Parking: Located in a small strip shopping center with other businesses. I went during mid-afternoon and had no problem finding a parking spot.“

“Today was my first time trying Dimassi's. The food was nice but I can't say the best. I loved the different salads and lots of veggie options. I ate some undercooked kebabs and chicken because it was quite chewy and weird. So watch out. I'm not sure if I can return back to this location.“
“This place is amazing. I'm basically here once a week and am always greeted with warm smiles and food from Sidra, Pablo, and every other employee.The food is always fresh and filling and the atmosphere is not too packed/busy for my dine in experiences. Both have become my new guiltless addiction and I hope it can become a haven for others as well.“
“Good restaurant. I went with a group of people. I wish there was more selection other than Mediterranean food. Service was a little slow when getting our food, and there weren't that many people in the restaurant. One of the women in my group had to get her food remade because the server didn't go down all the tables to make sure a dish was one our group ordered. I had a Chicken Pesto Panini since I don't care for Mediterranean food.“
