    The Kunafa Crepe is by far one of my new favorite desserts! We walked in to get a quick bite to eat! The menu is huge and legit has anything you can image on it. The dessert waffles on display caught my attention. As I pointed them out to my wife a male employee or owner pointed out a plate and said, "try the kunafa, it's a Turkish dessert. You must try the kunafa crepe. It's mind blowing." So without hesitation we ordered the kunafa crepe and a lamb gyro! When the crepe came out be explained that the kunafa has cheese on the inside and it covered in a crispy crust drizzled with honey. Then wrapped in a crepe which is drizzled with white chocolate and pistachios! I took one bite of the crepe and knew I would be back soon to get another!! The crepe is perfectly cooked and the crispy cheese filled inside is so light and perfect! Mind blowing was a description of this dessert. It was hard for me to start eating my gyro until I took the first bite which solidified my rerun back to this restaurant! Everything we ate was delicious and the service was too notch! Don't sleep on Busy Boy at all. You will be missing out

    Every part of the philly sandwich tasted fresh and delicious! The portion was also pretty big so I had it for lunch and dinner :) I also tried their crispy chicken sandwich which was also delicious and not like your average crispy chicken sandwiches. I would highly recommend asking for some sides of their garlic sauce and especially trying it with their fries

    Amazing and flavorful food, service was so kind and friendly, and lots of seating for people to enjoy in a clean cafe environment. The cheesesteak is delicious and the sauces go so well with the flavors! The chicken shawarma was soft and juicy. A must visit when in Houston, especially if you are shopping in the Hillcroft area!

    I'm usually not in the is part of town, but I always try to get some good Middle Eastern or Indian food since there are so many great options over here. Busy Boy popped up in my Yelp app and had great reviews. The ambiance is sparse, it has the charm of a McDonalds from the 1980s. Strike one right out of the gate: Pepsi products and most of two of them were out. Ice tea was not brewed; it was the one that tastes straight up like chemicals that comes out of the machine. I went with the shawarma wrap combo. Fries were okay, but over seasoned. The shawarma had a decent amount of meat, but had a fishy taste to it. This was definitely a waste of a shawarma in this part of town since there are always so many great options over there. If you insist on coming here, the guy at the next table ordered the shawarma platter and looked way better. Will I go back? Not highly likely, gonna try one of the other highly rated or friend recommended ones this side of town. After 13 years of using Yelp, it failed me only for the third time.

    Thanks to Vinh's reminder on the timing of my visit to Busy Boy Grill and Cafe. I was here during Ramadan in a Saturday's early afternoon. Don't laugh. I have never had Shawarma in my life. Count my blessings to try this Middle Eastern food for the first time. Many people already have their own favorite shawarma restaurants. I'm really a rookie when I saw the big chunk of meat on the vertical turning rotisserie oven. In Mexico, this rotisserie meat cooking method is called al pastor. But at Busy Boy... Someone please tell me the difference between gyro and shawarma. Because I was hungry. A line employee couldn't answer my question. So, I waited for the cashier. Not sure if I pronounced gyro right. But he said gyro is the meat from the kitchen while shawarma meat is from the vertical turning oven in the front. Sounds good. Time to eat. So, I ordered a shawarma wrap with both beef and chicken. He upgraded my order to meal deal for $3.50 more. I got a bottomless drink and a potato salad. Meat was tender but a little salty for my taste bud. The wrap and veggies were fresh. I had no more room for salad at that point. I really wanted to try the ice cream next door, or just across the hall. But it appeared to be closed. The best part was the clean restaurant and flexible seating. Looks like I could have a party here.

    You've got to try the crispy chicken sandwich. This is the best chicken sandwich in Houston. The sauce is soooo good and the chicken is crispy On top of the food, the service is amazing. The owner once helped my sister and I on the phone while we were lost to get to the location and then made us new, hot sandwiches because we got lost. That sort of service does not come around often and we will keep coming back!

    My wife and I loved everything we tried. The mixed shawarma plate with beef and chicken was great, she picked Greek salad and taboli as her 2 sides, both tasty. I enjoyed and barely shared a kufta kabob wrap, I barely shared 'cause she had more than she could eat. We went back to the counter and scored a couple topnotch coffee drinks. She got and loved a dark chocolate frape with no whipped cream on top, I had to try the cheese cake milk shake, loved it. Mine was sweeter than hers and disappeared first, both were definitely worth getting again. Friendly counter service and great food....we'll be back.

    The perfect spot for a casual lunch! Clean place, plenty of seating, great service, delicious food! I tried the crispy chicken wrap and my mom ordered the grilled chicken panini. Both were fresh and sooo good! I was so excited to try it, I almost forgot to take pics of the food! Everything is halal too.

    Stumbled across this place by accident. To my surprise it was definitely no coincidence. I love great food and great service and I found those things plus more here. Very accommodating, extremely friendly staff, very attentive, the food was amazing, nice and clean, and very spacious! The food was so good I forgot to take pictures except towards the end. Recommended spot!
