    Fool me once, shami on me
    Fox E.

    Not too Shabby. But it is too Shami, if you can be such a thing. Absolutely delicious kebabs and wraps and some of the most delicious items available from a food truck in Houston. It's a Middle Eastern food truck and it's absolutely wonderful. It's part of the large Middle Eastern food truck Park on Westheimer so there are lots of great options here but this is actually one of the best ones. Big Chef is my fave, which is Turkish mainly, and this one is a close second at the moment since a couple of the other great ones disappeared. Get the Adana, I love it. The shawarma is delicious too! Open very very late which is also a massive selling point.

    Always hits the spot late at night. Anything on the menu can't go wrong with it. You recommend to anybody.

    This food truck stays busy. Always a good sign. We've enjoyed both the beef and chicken shawarmas and the adena kabab sandwich. The food is comparable to Abu Omar. I appreciate the affordability of this place, most sandwiches are under $10. solid option for lunch!

    Huge fan of shawarma, and I have to say this may be the best Shwarma in the city of Houston. The flavorful beef Shwarma is very tender and not dry. It has all flavors hitting throughout each bite. Comes with side veggies and garlic sauce. What more do you need? Must place to try!

    Best Arabi food truck in Houston. The shish tawook is the best. Must try! It will transport you back overseas if not to a better place.

    Small portions! Paid $20 and not even full. What a waste of money! The workers are so rude. Not clean. I will never come back.

    We had our Sunday lunch at Istanbul Grill and loved it. We got here by noon and there was no wait…read more The food came out quickly and everything tasted great. Our server suggested ordering a few dishes and he would prepare a family platter as we were 6 in our party. The Doner kebab was our favorite and we loved the Pastrami Pide as an appetizer. The restaurant was decorated with authentic Turkish mosaics and art work.

    Istanbul was an average experience for me. There are very limited vegetarian options and I was sad…read moreto see that falafel sandwiches are only offered until 4pm. The only two entrees I could see were a falafel plate and a cheese pida for vegetarians. I opted for the the cheese pida and a salad as I felt like my dinner needed some vegetables. The salad was plain tasting consisting of a lemon based dressing and cubes of tomato, cucumber, bell pepper. The dressing was not strong and I wished it had more flavor. I took it home and added my own dressing from home the next day. It's unfortunate that they charge an additional $1.50 for feta cheese which would have elevated the salad flavor. The cheese pide was good and a very large portion size. I wish there were some vegetables added however. The dough was delicious. Istanbul grill does make good bread. The pita bread was also good, very soft, and tasted fresh. It was busy on a Saturday night. Decor is minimal inside and ambiance was family friendly. Most of the tables were families with children. I will note that the interior was on the warmer side for a November night. Overall likely would not return just because of limited vegetarian food.

    Authentic and flavourful…read more Service and atmosphere: Our server was polite, friendly and helpful. The restaurant was clean and very well designed and decorated. It had great Persian vibe including music played. Food and drinks: Very good selection of traditional dishes that were not westernised as in other Persian restaurants. The food was fresh, well seasoned and was full of flavours. The meats were moist, salad and starter tasted fresh. Pinch of sumac which was available on each table was a perfect addition to our dishes. Highly recommend hot Persian tea. Pricing: $$ - very affordable for the quality and quantity of foods received.

    Food is good, service is quick, the restaurant is well-decorated, and servers were considerate in…read morebringing out our food later so it wouldn't get cold while we waited for the last member of our party to arrive :) Only complaint is that we were served hummus, which we assumed came complimentary with the bread & side vegetables since the staff just set it down on our table. However, we were charged for it at the end. I understand the charge itself, but no one at the table had ordered it; they just set it on the table. It would have been nice if the staff had made it clear or asked if we wanted to add it to our meal. Perhaps there was a mix up with another table. Our experience was otherwise great, but double check the menu for what is complimentary and what isn't.
