The grilled chicken with the sauce is a must!! So juicy and flavorful! The hummus is great also! This is a restaurant with no frills. You come for the food. The parking lot is a little hard to find a spot at. Service can be slow but it's understandable, it takes time to grill the meat. read more

The food was good but a little overpriced for the quality and amount. We ordered the mixed grill and shared between us. It was really just alright... Service was fine. The restaurant was extremely hot in there. Not sure if their A/C was out or if that's just how it is. I would give this place another try sometime when I'm in the area. read more

I'm honestly so confused on these yelp reviews because this place was not it. The inside looked nothing like the pictures and not at all appealing. I tried ordering hummus and they didn't even have any. The pitas were horrible and not freshly made, literally just tasted like a crispy packaged tortilla. Everything was just bad there. They had a random fruit stand that had fake fruit in it, they sell can drinks and bottled water, which is ok because I probably wouldn't feel safe drinking actual fountain drinks there. Decor was plain and scary. The service was nice though and they tried. Overall I'd never return or ever order anything here. read more

We ate here for the 1st time. Would definitely recommend. Clean,friendly and great food

Tastes good but not a lot of food at a pretty high price. I ordered the mixed grill for one and it had two small cubes of chicken and beef and a short ground beef kebab. It was clearly only 1/3 or so of what would come with 3 skewers of meat anywhere. Disappointing, expensive and mediocre food. read more

We had the mixed grill platter #1 and it was all very good. The chicken had a great suave and was tender. The kabobs were good. French fries tasted fresh cut. The vegetables and salads were fresh. The inside has many tables and was clean. Staff was friendly and attentive. All 10 out of 10. read more

What a wonderful find! My husband and I decided to try something new and randomly decided to come here because we were in the area and I'm sooo happy we found this place. The food, OMG, it's hands down the BEST Mediterranean food we have ever had! Everything was cooked and seasoned to perfection. We ordered the Combination Platter #1 and it was amazingly delicious. The chicken shawarma was literally the best we'd ever tasted and the chicken and beef kabob were melt-in-your mouth tender and flavorful. The Hummus and Baba Ghannouj were to die for and the extra side of Tzatziki was also amazing. The service was lovely and very personable and the price was super reasonable. The meat was super good quality and that was especially noteworthy considering so many restaurants are skimping on the quality of meat they serve because of this horrible inflation. Highly recommend this place. It's a great value and with the leftovers we'll likely have at least two more meals. So worth it! read more

Absolute garbage, the sandwich had no meat on it and paid $20 for a lamb sandwich and didn't even give me the fries. Never go read more

Terrible food. Disgusting service. Overpriced and overhyped for less than Mid middle eastern food. Order $140 worth of food and only about $30 of it was edible. The shameful part was this was a to go order and didn't realize until we got home that more than half of the food they packed was burnt. I'm not talking slightly charred I mean burnt completely black and smells and tastes burnt. This was the first and absolutely last time. What a shame! Disgusting business practice but I wouldn't expect integrity from a restaurant that serves and packages burnt food for their to go clients. read more

The food and service were excellent. We will definitely go back. The dish we ordered was for 2-4 people and we were the 3 of us. There was plenty of leftovers that we had to ask for to go boxes. I highly recommend it. read more

Now what can I say about this place, @barbarmedgrill is my favorite Mediterranean spots in the city. the Platter here is the way to go, in which you get a whole lot of everything, Hummus, Baba Ghanoush, Grilled Chicken, multiple types of kababs, Lamb Chops, Chicken & Beef Arabi Shawarma, Tabouli, Fries, Grilled Veggies(i think that's all lol), food here is phenomenal, fresh, and flavorful. they have renovated since the last time I was here, great ambiance, also want to highlight the manager/owner very friendly and accommodating(we were a party of 9). Overall like previously had a great experience. read more

Barbar Mediterranean Grill - Chicken Shawarma Sandwich Beef Shawarma Sandwich - Mediterranean Near Me - Houston, Texas

I've never experienced anything like this at a restaurant. Instead of focusing on customer service, they seem to be running a towing trap. While I was there, I saw car after car being towed -- easily 15 to 20 in one day. It was shocking. Customers shouldn't have to worry about their vehicles being snatched while they're just trying to grab a meal. Whether or not the restaurant is directly involved, it feels like they're working hand-in-hand with the towing company, and it comes across as predatory. If you value your time, money, and peace of mind, I'd stay far away. There are plenty of honest places to eat that don't put their customers at risk. read more

A friend recommended this place, and it did not disappoint! The customer service was amazing, and the food was a solid 10/10. I tried the lamb chops -- they were flavorful, tender, and absolutely delicious. The salad was also really good and super fresh. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Simply put, this place is a lot of hype and not much getting it right. The prices make you think portions or at least quality is much higher than in reality, where you're actually paying for a bit of pomp and none of the circumstance. If it wasn't for the rave reviews of fellow foodies down here in Houston, I wouldn't have even stopped here at all. Service here is quite dedicated to the upsell, which I can kind of understand, because if you spend a little extra you'll end up getting the meal portion you originally wanted. Food takes a fair amount of time to cook and for some reason during my visit, they just didn't have anyone staffed at the front for multiple periods. There's not much to look at in terms of ambiance while you're waiting either. As for the food, it's pretty average to disappointing Meditteranean food overall. The fries were my favorite part with seasonings and sauce abound, while the chicken shawarma followed with the same leg up. Their hummus is not smooth, beef shawarma slightly bitter and their roast chicken much, much too conservative on their supposedly famous sauce. If only my mouth ate as well as my camera did. Overall, it's not the worst food I've ever eaten, but between what I expected and what I got, it's certainly one of the largest gaps I've found. I'd suggest going to one of the many other Mediterranean restaurants around Houston instead. read more

Accidentally found this place and am so glad. We will be coming again. Amazing taste and flavors. There were 3 of us and we shared the Combination platter 1 and the hummus with beef. The hummus was creamy and divine. The chicken was cooked to perfection. The chicken shawarma was flavorful. Can't wait to go back. read more

Hands down best shawarmas in town. I love getting both their beef and chicken shawarmas. Saucy, generous filling of chicken and beef, and worth the price! The chicken, and beef aren't over cooked and dry. You can choose sides like adding french fries or tabbouleh. I really enjoy their tabbouleh because it's limey, herby, and packs a punch of freshness. Not bitter or grassy like others I've had. I also enjoy their chicken platter! A must have. read more

This is one of those places I'd like to keep to myself because it's yet to be discovered by the masses BUT in the end really want to inspire others to take a chance on this inconspicuous restaurant that sits off Westheimer but gets overlooked because of the vast parking lot of food trucks next to it. Definitely doesn't look like much on the outside BUT the grilled chicken was nothing short of AMAZING! The sauce was tangy, the chicken was juicy and it's a taste you'll not soon forget (or want to forget EVER). The fattoush (salad) was also stellar, it was a hot summer day & I was craving a fresh, crisp, invigorating salad, it hit all the marks for me. Sadly, I no longer live in Houston and won't be able to become a regular here but I encourage anyone in the vicinity who wants some good chicken to give them a shot. read more

We found this restaurant on Yelp, it had good reviews and everything looks amazing. It's a small hole in the wall type of establishment. We walked into an empty place, looked at the menu board, it had a good variety of dishes that would please pretty much anyone. We had to ring the bell for someone to come out to take our order. He was nice enough but seemed very distracted and in a rush, which is never a good sign when we were literally the only customers. We placed our order and grabbed a table to wait for our food. Combination Platter - 1 (3 stars) came with half Grilled Chicken, 1 Kabab Skewer, 1 Chicken Shawarma, Grilled Veggies and 2 Sides. We decided on the Hummus and Baba Ghannouj. The Grilled Chicken had good flavors with some smokiness to it, the sauce was really good. The Kabab was a little on the dry side, we've had better. Grilled veggies was literally a small wedge of an onion LOL, they did include some fresh diced tomatoes and slivered pickles. The chicken Shawarma was probably the best. It had great flavors and saucy/moist inside. The pita bread that came with the appetizers were terrible though. It was tough and stale. The Hummus and Baba Ghannouj were standard, nothing really stood out. Although it was decent food and the plating was beautiful, we probably won't be going back to this place. There are so many other Mediterranean options in Houston we would rather dine at. read more

Their baba ghanush, (smashed eggplants) are amazing! Very different in taste compared to other restaurants. Also tried their chicken Francisco sandwich, which came on their grilled French bread, it was very well done and was flavorful. Their chunky cocktail is a must try which comes with chunks of fresh fruits and ashtar (thick cream made from milk)! Their service is excellent, the owner or his wife are generally here in the front to take care of their customers. Place is very small but clean! It's not a trendy or classy spot, good for a very casual dine in. read more

This place is a fast casual bbq. if someone owes you a treat..ask them to bring you here!! I got the combination platter 3. the rice was buttery, garlic aoili with a capital G, enough bread to roll kabobs and then some more. He pioneered that vinegary sour yet savory bbq sauce on the coal grilled chicken...you will clean or accidentally ingest the chicken bones.. super flavorful. the sandwiches are not just side kicks here. Chicken Francisco has creamy corn mayo and is panini pressed so you don't drop any ingredient out. The chicken shawarma bites are bit messy ..but who cares.. you got mayo all around you.. the goat chops were tender and butter knife worthy. yes.. goat chops tasted like goat..(if you don't like that goaty taste, you've been warned) Even the fries have that crisp texture and were rich velvety inside. For ramadan they also had complimentary lentil soup..which had roasted garlicky butter taste. I got 2 bowls of it. I also got their fresh fruit cocktail. antioxidants, vitamins and the perfect way to top off the feast. Everything in picture and drinks and gratuity came to $109.53. I had enough food to take home and have Iftar all over again. read more

Definitely one of the best Mediterranean in the city. Ordered a combo platter and some additional sandwiches. The platter is good value, individual sandwiches are a little too pricey. Overall, all meat was perfectly cooked, bread was warm and fresh and the fries reminded me exactly of the Middle East, really really good. The signature chicken is a standout for sure, delicious sauce. Areas of improvement are really around sandwiches and shawarma. They are too dry and deserve to be much saucier. read more

The food looks and tastes amazing, i wanted to try everything. I like how the manager keeps dropping by and asking how's everything doing and even offered to give more sides if we wanted! read more

Barbar Mediterranean Grill - Combination Platter #4 - Mediterranean Near Me - Houston, Texas

Expensive for what you're ordering. The food is delicious though. Think of a Mediterranean charcuterie board. Very delicious!

Whenever I try different ethnic foods I feel that I'm going outside of my culture and I'm absolutely stoked about it. The food was so delicious and fresh and again it was a lazy Monday night. But my friend was starving and her daughter has frequent this place b4. So low and behold that wild hair reared his hungry head. When I tell I get so excited to try different cultures of foods is an understatement. It was a family oriented establishment and people from all walks of life stopped by. The prices were decent for a couple looking for authentic Mediterranean food. The wasn't overbarren with ( spices ). Get up and try something totally outside of ur trained tastebuds. read more

Barbar Mediterranean Grill - Combo #2 - Mediterranean Near Me - Houston, Texas

Man the sandwiches here are actually yummy but the customer service was confusing...let me explain I ordered via the link on their website(which btw I later found out everything is more expensive when you order on their website rather than using Grub Hub...how does that make sense?) Anyways when we got there, he said he didn't receive the order and we had to wait an additional 20 minutes for the food. Just order off Grub Hub if you're going to order ahead because it seems like they pay more attention to those orders. As for the food: The sandwiches were dang good and still fresh tasting even after driving 25 mins back to Sugar Land. They taste very unique and I love how crispy the naan is on the outside- ask for extra crispy! We ordered one chicken tawook sandwich and one shawarma sandwich and tbh they tasted basically the exact same LOL. Like idk if he accidentally gave us two of the same thing but either way we enjoyed them regardless! Order either one and you'll be satisfied. A few tweaks are needed as far as customer service goes, but I think this place is worth a try if you're looking for a good shawarma! read more

Pleasantly surprised! The owner is wonderful and suggests all of his go-to's. Beef Shawarma, Kafta and Chicken were all extremely tasty and great quality. Easy and convenient ordering system, order grab your drinks and pay when you're done. Loved the booths! TV's are playing and show the full menu above the register. Music was playing and definitely made you feel like your were away from Houston. Will definitely be back - hope they open one in The Woodlands! read more

Top notch grilled chicken in a unique and tangy (NOT BBQ) sauce. Great Shawarmas, tabouli, fatoush salads and hummus. They have more items, but that's all I have had so far. Small, not attractive strip mall location on Westheimer - definitely not a date night place, but a good place for a family looking for a good meal. read more

Had a chance to check out Barbar after winning a $20 gift card and was not disappointed. I had the the #1 combination platter. The grilled chicken was very good, but a bit more sauce than I would have liked, but very good overall. The restaurant was nice and clean and the staff was very courteous. Although I haven't yet had a chance to get the shwarma, I hear they are very good. Looking forward to going back again soon. Also halal. read more

Barbar Mediterranean Grill - Combination platter #1 with Iraqi Kabab Iraki - Mediterranean Near Me - Houston, Texas

OH MY GOSH. It's been a few days since my husband and I had dinner here (for the first time) and I am STILL thinking about this awesome food we had!! I have heard good reviews about this place from our friends but I was NOT expecting to be blown away like I did! I am a biiiiig foodie and I will always keep it real! And I have to say PLEASE GIVE THIS PLACE A CHANCE, because before you even finish your current meal you'll find yourself planning what you're going to get next when you come back for the second time! That's just how goood the food really is!! We got the combo 1 platter and added a chicken shawarma and my oh my, from the half grilled chicken to the skewers and the chicken shawarma; it was a party in my mouth with every bite! All the meats were soooo juicy and tender!! The flavors - spot on, the texture - spot on, the satisfaction - let's just say it's gonna make you wanna come back for more!! The flavors were rich, tangy, perfect blend of savory and spice. The humus - possibly the best I've had. It's more on the tangy and vinegary side which leaves you want to keep eating more! We opted for tabouleh salad instead of fries or rice - because we didn't want to get full easily from all the carbs and I am so glad we opted for that! The salad was like the hummus, nicely pickled and savory, but acidic at all! With that being said, I know we are definitely coming back here again and I have my eyes set on the Barbar burger! I give this place 10/5. That's just how satisfying and mind blowing this food was. Give this small business a chance and you will NOT be disappointed. I still dream about the half grilled chicken...so crispy, so tender, so juicy.... read more
