I have had almost everything on the menu and everything is delicious. Some of my favorites are the lamb shank and kabobs, chicken and beef shawarma, spicy hummus, fried cauliflower and cucumber salad. I like to eat there because it's rarely crowded when I go and it has a peaceful, calm vibe where I can sit and relax. There is usually a steady stream of customers picking up food to take out and occasionally a few will dine in. The workers are very polite, friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Arabella's if you are in the area!

First time visit to this Mediterranean restaurant…read more Its a small but decent place with good spread that includes all hummus, baba ganoush, falafels, and also French fries. The fries and falafels came hot and crispy. Those were a big plus points. I got myself a platter. I asked the guy that I was a vegetarian, what would he recommend. I don't think he really understood because he started rattling off all the meat options available for entrees, I had to stop him and remind him that I was a vegetarian- the no meat kind .... Finally, ordered the platter. The platter is a choice of 5 options, and can include 2 falafels as one of the option. I chose pasta, lentil salad, cauliflower carrot salad, quinoa side and falafels. I was also curious about their fries. It was made hot and they used their Mediterranean spices to make it more flavorful - that did make a difference. The cost was $16 for the platter and another $6 for fries. Am not really sure how I feel about the price. Ambience was that of an open kitchen concept. I, being a vegetarian was a uncomfortable with the sight of meat display, but I guess thats not something most would care about, and would call it cozy. Their options are good. And they have plenty for vegetarians too. Thats not very common.

First impression was good walking in with decent decor. The person who took my order was not rude,…read morebut pretty indifferent. Sub-par food at best, especially with so many good Greek and Mediterranean restaurants in the Greater Houston area. The chicken platter I got had dry chicken and poorly seasoned rice that I could have made better at home. The side sauce I got, which I assumed would have been Tzatziki, was literally just a side of mayonnaise. Save your money and get a similar item from the Deli department in one of the grocery stores like Sprouts across the street.

I'm so happy Petra's opened closer to me in the Shadow Creek area! It's always nice having a good…read moreGreek and Lebanese restaurant nearby, especially one that the whole family can enjoy. We've been looking for more local places to try, and Petra's has definitely become one we'll be coming back to. The chicken kabobs are probably my favorite thing we've had so far. The chicken is seasoned really well, tender, and full of flavor. The best part is that my kids love it too, which is not always easy to find! Anytime I can find a place where everyone actually enjoys the food, it's a win. The hummus is really good and goes perfectly with their pita. The pita is fresh, soft, and honestly makes the meal even better. I've also tried some of their sandwiches, and they are a great option when you want something filling but still full of flavor. I also have to mention the pickles because they are so good! They add that perfect salty, tangy crunch that goes really well with everything else. Overall, Petra's is a great addition to the Shadow Creek/Pearland area. The food is fresh, flavorful, the staff is knowledgeable, the service is great, and they have a lot of great options. I'm really glad they are closer to me now because it makes it so much easier to stop by when we're craving Greek and Lebanese food. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

Ordered off Uber Eats Ordered the Petra Arabi - it is…read morenothing like the description reads. - it came bland and dry. Chunks of grilled chicken breast sliced thick wrapped in a Mexican style burrito tortilla. Not a pita. Not even close to a pita. No pickles. No 'house dip' inside. Just bland grilled chicken in a half cooked tortilla. The fries were a bit stale. The salad was drenched in this wanna be caesar I think. Also ordered two dips, the garlic dip and the tzatziki dip for $7+ each. The quantity was not worth the price. The garlic dip is the same sauce as the "house sauce" listed under the Petra Arabi, standard issue toum most places have. The tzatziki was also very bland. Also ordered an extra tahini -basic- and an extra "Petra" sauce which wasn't anything special- it was like a liquid creme with black pepper. 0/10 do not recommend. Would much rather drive into Houston for the same price and better quality food. Was hoping to have a local option of something different. Will have to keep looking.

Salata - one of my fav.... The crispy vegetables, the…read morevariety of interesting sauces spiced to the right level, the number of add ons - its perfect for a vegetable lover like me. I added almost all the choice of vegetarian toppings available, some light mozzarella cheese and sauce on the side. I chose their avocado jalapeños , for protein its either tofu or falafel or both, I took both as I was more hungry than usual. Somehow they managed to fit it all into the large box ... lol..... They have soups too. For some reason they couldn't understand my question if the broth used in the soup was vegetarian or not, so I thought it was best to skip it. The place is very neat and tidy and I noticed steady flow of people too. Service- good, but they seemed a little bit flustered. Maybe it was just their busy day .. Fresh place to start on that diet plan you have been procrastinating about for a while - like me ..... ;)

This might be my favorite Salata so far. The dining area is nice. Salad was good as always. Line…read morewas long but they bust the line down so quickly and efficiently. Definitely will revisit this one. The area is convenient also because it's other stores close by, meaning I can run my errands and then have a salad afterwards. They should definitely have more stars than an overall 3.1

You are greeted as soon as you enter and your meal once ordered delivered to your table. I just wanted to give a shout out to Jonathan and team, who was managing and say, I did not know the meatless tender could be so tender and you have raised the bar and hope to see you again. Until the next one, Bye - Bye!

I've been a Halal Guys customer when they were just running the famous food cart on 53rd and 6th in…read moreManhattan. Lines of people waiting in all sorts of weather for some chicken and rice speaks to why they were so popular Then they went on this massive expansion all around the country. I was more than excited when they opened up shop in my hood. This Halal Guys is located in a shopping center right off 288 but kind of hidden. I think a street facing space would benefit them. Parking is always plentiful. My visits here have always been pleasant with great customer service. Halal Guys is known for their famous platters of chicken and rice or lamb or beef and rice. They also have falafel if you want to go vegetarian. Now that they have brick and mortars, they have lots of other options like wraps, loaded fries, and wings. I never steer away from the OG platter. It comes with a base of seasoned rice, lettuce and tomatoes, protein of choice and their famous white and hot sauce. In the carts they slather the sauces on, but now you can get packs of sauce to dress your own. Be very careful with the hot sauce as it packs some delicious, but very spicy heat. You can also add additional toppings like peppers, onions, jalapenos and olives. The platters can look deceiving and may not look big, but you can easily have two meals off a regular platter. I typically go chicken for my protein, but you can't sleep on the beef gyro or lamb. Mix everything together and you have a perfect bite of deliciousness. I've had a few of their brick and mortar locations, but nothing compares to getting it from the food cart on the streets of NYC. These days, there is alot of similar type restaurants all over, but my heart belongs to Halal Guys. I will definitely be back.

First time trying Halal Guys in Pearland. When we arrived they didn't have any rice so they asked…read moreus if we would be willing to wait 17 minutes. We had both been set on eating here so we decided to wait. Once the rice was ready, we were happy with the presentation, size and quality of the food. We ordered a side of falafel on the side and it was crispy and fresh. The lettuce was also crisp and not soggy as we've experienced at similar places in the past. The staff was quite nice. Food was good. I enjoy their white sauce. The only complaint was not having rice ready and the unexpected wait as a result. Otherwise, we will return again and hope to have another yummy bowl.

Don't get lost!! It's Arabella name outside!!…read more I wanted to try it out because of all the pics!! They have so many choices but they were very helpful in answering our questions because it was our first time!! Very nice cooks and servers who are the same people who do it all!! Trying out the fries with chicken "they call it sandwich" but it's more like a burrito for us jijij.. my husband asked for the beef chunks I can't remember name but pics will show!! And he asked for 2 sides, they have lots of sides so it's not easy to pick .. Ambiance, Mediterranean music in the background and chill relax Food is tastyyyyyy omg so much flavor and servings are big so leftovers are always a plus The spicy salsa is a must!!! Mix with yogurt sauce and omg delicious

Fantastic experience all around!!…read more This was maybe my second time having Nigerian food (my first being jollof rice), so take with a grain of salt. Food: They gave complimentary plantain chips with tomato based dip. Water was chilled ozarka bottles, also complimentary. We got the beef suya with jollof rice as side ($20). Portions were huge, plenty for two people! The beef suya was flavorful but was pretty salty when combined with the well seasoned jollof rice. Service: Food took awhile to prepare, maybe 20 minutes, but understandable. Otherwise, very attentive. Ambiance: Really nice and upscale. Everything was also very clean. Overall, highly recommend if looking for Nigerian food in the area! Weren't that many patrons but we came around 2 pm. Lots of takeout orders.
