    Being that it was my first time trying I thought the experience was just okay. I got the Tawook Wrap combo and ordered 2 extra sauces to try out. I thought the chicken could've had a bit more flavor and maybe even more fries for the sauces. Also could use some salt and more flavors to it, I think for $23 bucks, nothing special about it. Definitely wanna try the sweet items though next time I come back.

    The first time I had Maryz years ago everything tasted frozen so I never went back…read more A friend was here the other day and assured me the food is fresh, no frozen, so I gave them another try. I had Dolma and octopus and both were AMAZING!! The two apps and a house glass of wine came to $30. Service was non existent. I ordered at the counter and no one ever actually came to our table, but, it's a hookah spot. So no one really wants constant interruption. I'll be back!

I love Mediterranean food - it feels like a healthier option, but still super satisfying. The place itself is casual but has a nice enough atmosphere that it feels like a little treat every time we go. There's a big front patio where you can smoke hookah, and it's always buzzing with people. I've even noticed a lot of people working on their laptops out there. The whole vibe is just really chill. We have our go to order: hot green tea with honey. Idk why I love it so much but I swear it just hits different here. Maybe it's the cute little pot they serve it in. For food, we usually start with an appetizer and split the mixed shawarma plate. This last time we shared a Greek salad as an appetizer. Fresh and delicious as always. One of our sides was the baba ghanoush, which was incredible. Dont get me started on the pita it comes with....Warm, soft, and fresh. It takes everything in me not to demolish the whole basket. For our other side, we always get the potatoes. They're perfectly seasoned with a slight sweetness and a little kick. Hands down my favorite side dish here! The portions are generous too. For me and my boyfriend (who can definitely eat), splitting this is always enough to fill us up. I also have to shout out the service because it's consistently great. Even when it's packed and there's just one waiter, everything flows smoothly. Safe to say we'll keep coming back!

We tried the chicken kabab pita, beef pita, chicken shawarma pita. I recommend all three. The chicken kabab meat was perfectly tender and so flavorful. The hot sauce is a must!! We also had their fries which were perfectly crisp and seasoned. Hummus was so authentic and the quality was 10/10-def no filler ingredients. Lentil soup was delicious and hearty.

It's a cute casual, order at the counter setup with plenty of booths and tables, plus a few outdoor spots in front. We kept it simple and ordered the chicken kebab hummus bowl and the chicken kebab salad bowl. Both were great. They were fairly similar, but we agreed the hummus bowl had a slight edge. There were a lot of other items on the menu that sounded fantastic. The food quality was great and the staff was kind. Honestly, this feels like a place that will probably make its way into our monthly rotation. My only small critique is that it's a little on the pricey side. Around $21 each for a bowl is a bit high for a casual Saturday lunch for me. (But with that said, still excited to come back!).

When we entered the vibe was relatable to the name of the restaurant but after a few minutes we heard Bollywood songs and I love Bollywood songs but I feel like the vibe of the restaurant should relate to the cuisine and ambiance. It automatically gives an impression that the restaurant isn't Greek or Lebanese for example. Anyway, we had ordered kibeh and lentil soup for appetizers. The lentil soup was the worst lentil soup I've ever had it was frozen we asked them to heat it but it still tasted disgusting. I couldn't eat it. The kibeh was alright the dip with the kibeh was good. For entrees, we ordered the chicken shawarma plate and combo kebabs. The plates came with a salad the dressing was interesting but I'm not a fan of feta cheese so I didn't have the salad. The shrimps and chicken kebab of the combo kebabs were not bad I really liked the shrimps. The hummus was okay and the rice was very bland. The service was quick I believe because everything felt like it was pre-cooked except for the kebabs but the beef kebab wasn't cooked entirely one of the pieces it was raw. The shawarma was not good at all! Very disappointing Our bill was $60 and we were charged a 2.5% fees for credit card!

When we arrived on a Tuesday evening, it was empty other than maybe one other family. When we entered we were told to pick a seat and then given the menus. The second I saw the menu it seemed a bit expensive- I was looking at the vegetarian plate where you can pick 5 which was for $25 I think- I got falafels, tazeki, hummus, another spread, pickled turnips. They didn't have many other options that were appetizing- I'm not into the eggplant or okra. While waiting for the food the waitresses were sitting on their phones chatting laughing, I thought it was unprofessional, that's not what you want to see when you go to a nice place. We were given salad- the salad already had dressing on it which was spicy! Me and my friend could not figure out what it is - it was tangy spicy I think from garlic more chemically tasting rather than Cheyenne spicy. A bit too spicy for both of us. I would have wished they put the dressing on the side so we can add on our own. The food arrived and was given pita bread as well which was nice. The food was not flavorful, the hummus tasted Bland, falafels were actually pretty good but only were given . The pita bread I was hoping was gonna be fluffy but this was so thin and chewy didnt like it. Everything wasn't to my liking or lacking something except the falafels which I only had two of. I think the falafel wrap might have been a better option but due to the price I won't be back.

We have a young child, so we opt for takeout most of the time. Today, I got off of work early, so my husband and I wanted to dine-in child-free. We arrived close to the end of lunch hour. We saw the sign advertising for the chef combo, which I wanted to order after perusing the menu. The waitress was not friendly. Her demeanor and tone were not customer centric. She said I couldn't order the chef combo anymore. I told her it wasn't 3 yet. She said that they ran out of sides, so it wasn't an option. The message was fine, but the delivery was rude. I picked something else and was confirming what it came with, and rather than point me in the right direction, she went back and forth with me. My husband has worked in the restaurant business and was shocked at the interaction. I wanted to order an alcoholic beverage, but after the negative interaction, I opted to leave it at food only. I didn't want to stay longer than needed. I wish I could give this place a higher review, but I'm going to go back to take out if I come back. I'll think twice about dining here again.

The restaurant immediately stood out with its bright, clean, and modern atmosphere. I loved the aesthetic, it felt welcoming while still staying true to its Mediterranean roots. Everything looked fresh, and the open food display made it easy to see the quality of what was being served. One thing I appreciated was the variety of options available. They offer lunch specials and combination plates where you can choose several smaller sides along with your choice of protein and rice, which is perfect if you like trying a little bit of everything. The only downside is that, as a first-time customer, the ordering process was a little confusing. You place your order at the beginning of the counter, but many of the side dishes are farther down the line, so it's hard to know exactly what you want until you've walked past everything. Once I figured out how it worked, it was easy, but I'd recommend first-time visitors take a quick walk down the food line before ordering so they can see all of the options available. Everything tasted fresh, and you could tell the food had just been prepared. The hummus was incredibly smooth and creamy, pairing perfectly with the warm, freshly baked pita bread. Honestly, I could've kept eating the basket of bread ha. The beets and salad were both fresh, flavorful, and a nice complement to the rest of the meal. I also appreciated the generous portion sizes, they were more than enough for a satisfying and filling lunch. My only critiques were with the meat and rice. The meat was tender and cooked well, but it learned a little too salty for my taste, which overpowered some of the other seasonings. The rice was also a bit underwhelming compared to the rest of the meal. For Middle Eastern rice, I was hoping for something a little more aromatic and flavorful. It was slightly dry and could've used a little more moisture and seasoning to really bring it to life. One thing that was a little disappointing was menu availability. My sister has visited several times before, and this wasn't the first time she's ordered something only to find out afterward that it wasn't available. It happened again during this visit. Hopefully it's just a temporary inventory issue, but it would be helpful if unavailable items were communicated before customers placed their orders. What I appreciated most was how authentic everything felt. From the variety of traditional dishes to the freshly baked bread and homemade sides, it felt like a genuine Mediterranean dining experience rather than a watered-down version. Overall, Fadi's offers fresh, authentic Mediterranean food with generous portions and plenty of variety. Despite a couple of minor hiccups, I'd come back to explore more of the menu the next time I'm in Houston.
