Rice Platter Combo- lamb & chicken- one with sauce on, with with sauce on the side
Yesenia G.

LOVE LOVE LOVE. Food is amazing. Service is amazing. The place is clean. We're from Vegas & it's our first time in Houston- they were super welcoming & helped us choose our order. Very impressed by the flavor it had! Sooo good!!

Doing errands in the area and was in the mood for Middle Eastern food for lunch. I decided on this shack because of good Yelp reviews. I ordered the combo platter with chicken, lamb, rice, and salad. I requested white and red sauces on the side. There was lots of proteins in the platter and the salad was fresh. The rice could used a little more seasoning. The sauces were delicious and I ended up dumping all the sauses in the platter. Counter helps were friendly and quick. Prices were appropriate for the quantity and quality of foods.

Chapli Kabab Platter
Shakib I.

Swung by for a quick lunch to take home. This kind of food is my favorite and there are a lot of similar options in Houston, but they do it quite well. Very quick to take my order once I walked in! Lots of available parking. I got a Chapli kebab platter and chicken platter. Both come with yellow rice, choice of meat, and then mixed lettuce/onions/tomato/chickpea/corn salad. Simple but effective, fresh and delicious. Not a whole lot of added salt which I really like. Chapli kebab was cooked fresh and absolutely packed with flavor and spices. Chicken tasted excellent as well. They give ample red & white sauce on the side. Looking forward to ordering again soon!

Came here for their grand opening event and had a fantastic experience! The vibe was great with a live DJ and face painting, making it a very fun atmosphere. The staff was incredibly courteous throughout the event, and the food portions were excellent. Highly recommend checking them out!

This is a great, fast casual spot near the med center. They're definitely a great spot for a quick NY style chicken rice plate but very clean and orderly. Service is always quick and efficient but not the place to expect like a whole sit down, waiter, tableside service type of spot. I've had the gyro platter and gyro fries, both of which are great. For the price, the platter is 2 meals for me so definitely worth the cost. The food itself also tastes great, though I do wish the red sauce were a bit spicier. The gyro fries are a "side" but I found it to be a good single portion of food. I always get the lamb and its nice, juicy chunks of gyro. Best part for me is that its open late night and very close by. I always love finding late night spots, esp ones that have fries cause that's my go to late night food. Location, cost, taste, and hours all set this to be a top spot for me.

By far the best gyro I have eaten

By far the best gyro over rice I have tried in a long time. Place in a medical center.

Combo Platter (Most Popular) Chicken & Lamb

Absolutely loved the food here! Food always comes out fresh! Service is friendly and fast! Sometimes they can get super busy, but the wait is never too long. Flavor is on point! Also, very convenient that they are close to the medical center and open late!

Lamb Gyro Platter
Brandon D.

My friends and I went to try Gyro Hut near our school. I got the lamb gyro platter over rice, which also includes lettuce, tomato, onions, cucumber, corn, black olives, jalapeño, giardiniera, chickpeas, sliced pickles, and signature white and hot sauce. The lamb gyro was really juicy and tender, it did. It have a gamey taste either. I really loved the rice as well. The other toppings go well with the platter as well. They add some freshness and texture to the platter.

Inside

I can appreciate Gyro Hut for what it is: a Halal friendly establishment, a fast casual meal(s) with good portions, a bonafide late night option with affordable prices in the heart of the Med Center. What it is not though, is a replacement for the New York style Halal street food. Their motto of being "Straight Outta New York" is as hilarious as it is inaccurate. It wouldn't surprise me if the owners / management have spent time in New York, but the food and atmosphere are a bit of a departure from what should be the quintessential Halal street experience. The interior is bright and clean, which even includes their bathroom. I love that their AC is on blast and is almost freezing after a few minutes spent inside. The menu is placed right above their counter where they make all the food in front of folks. Pro Tip: Check-in on Yelp for a free can of soda. Their platters are around $11-13, which include a solid pile of protein with rice and salad. They include other things on the platter that you wouldn't see in NYC, such as chickpeas, cucumber salad, and corn. I think the gyro fries are a sleeper and the party trays might come in handy for the next potluck party. Their freshly made juices are somewhat of a head scratcher, but seem fresh even if they are served room temperature. One thing they did seem to incorporate from the current street meat NY scene is charging extra for sauce. I don't have a problem with this per se, especially if they were in sauce packet form. However, these ones are in tiny containers that are not exactly easy to scrape or pour sauce out of. I wouldn't be surprised if they were skimpy on the initial sauce dump in hopes that folks would buy more. While I think it's not a dead-on experience with what is "straight outta New York," I still think it's a worthy late meal option and one that is super ideal for the neighborhood.

This Fadi's location never disappoints. I have been here many times and always impressed by the…read moreselection, quality, and service here. We actually went to a different Fadi's looking for cabbage wraps and koussa (stuffed zucchini), but they had a much smaller spread so we drove 15 minutes to Meyerland and enjoyed a wonderful lunch. The hack at Fadi's is to go half-half so you get a slightly smaller portion of 2 side dishes that counts as 1 side. I had the babaganoush, muhammara, mushroom salad, and rice as my 2 sides (each 1/2 portions) and the lamb kabob for my protein. My wife had the spanakopita, cabbage wraps and stuffed zucchini. Loved it all. The restaurant was packed, but there was still plenty of seating and we found a nice quiet area to enjoy our meal. It's always a great experience at Fadi's Meyerland.

TL;DR: Great value, delicious food, so many options, ultra-friendly and accommodating service…read more Gotta come if you're ever in the mood for Mediterranean! Came with family for the first time and we were so overwhelmed by not just the food options but also by the friendly staff! Pro tip: don't get too excited too early because you will absolutely miss out on the rest of the options. Take a stroll down the line to look at all the possibilities before committing. That said, you can't go wrong with anything at Fadi's - great food, balanced flavor, home-style service :) We'll definitely be back - cheers, Fadi's!

As a native Texan, it pains me to say this, but a person can only eat so much Tex-Mex and Barbecue…read more There, I said it. Sometimes a good old boy wants to taste something special. Something different. Something out of the ordinary. Friends, let me tell you about Hamsa. House made Baba ghanoush? Addictive. Lamb Hummus? One of the best appetizers I've ever tasted. I could eat that lamb hummus every single day. Shaved tomatoes and feta? Scrumptious. We also shared the ribeye skewer and the shrimp skewer. As a couple, this allowed us both to enjoy a middle eastern version of "Surf and Turf." Both were fantastic. I've written a few reviews for Yelp. I only write a review if my experience was 5-star worthy. If I have an average meal, I'm not going to take the time to write about it. Hamsa was definitely one of the special ones. Give them a try. You won't be sorry.

Absolutely delicious Mediterranean food!…read more This restaurant is located in the Hartt of Rice Village, an event that parking can look tricking, they have several options, complimentary valet for two hours, paid parking, or you can park in the side of the street. We wanted to try restaurant week menu, so my friends and I made a reservation and came to Hamsa. I will tell you that is highly recommended to have a reservation because even though they have plenty of room, these restaurant is very popular, and they also have a beautiful bar. The food is outstanding with several traditional Mediterranean dishes but with their own and unique twist. You definitely must try the hummus with lamb and the Labneh with couscous, definitely might talk to favorite appetizers. Their non-bread is very fluffy and soft. I will say that the service is also wonderful, we were very well taken care of and their drinks are very tasty and strong! My only complaint is that it was very hot. We were seated in a booth by the wall and we were sweating, Looking forward to come back when it's not hot inside.

I remember when I used to order from here when Abu Omar Halal used to just be a food truck, but it is nice to see that it's now expanded to be a brick and mortar store with seating to eat and wait for orders to take home. I tried the Chicken Shwarma, Beef Shwarma, and Chicken Zinger (fried chicken tenders) Shwarma, and I can say that the Chicken Shwarma is the best choice in my opinion. It pairs very well with the provided garlic sauce, and I love how well seasoned the fries are. The interior is kept clean and organized, and there is a big menu on the wall behind the check-out cashier desk for you to look at before you order with accompanying pictures. The service was helpful with answering any questions. It takes a bit of waiting for the food to come out but they make the food fresh and hot by the time you receive it.

A product of Houston, Abu Omar Halal has blossomed from a popular food truck to a multi-location…read morebrand all across the South and West Coast. My penchant for late night food led me to their Med Center spot, where I impulsively ordered most of their menu. It may have cost me a good chunk of change (#1), but the biggest loser was my expectations. Situated on the corner of Almeda and Hepburn, Abu Omar Halal shares the building with the Exxon gas convenience store. Despite being a fixture in the neighborhood, the signage looks fresh and updated. Just below the sign were a couple of their food trucks, thought they ee new and updated and directly beneath is are a couple of their food trucks that weren't in operation. The format is pretty simple: Choose a protein (chicken / beef shawarma, lamb gyro, chicken zinger (aka fried chicken), or falafel and then choose a meal option where it can be anything from a simple sandwich / quesadilla to something more fast casual like a rice or salad bowl. The arabi is a fan fave, which is a series of meats in roll form that is cut up and accompanied by a bed of fries and a pickled cucumbers. There is a double version which two wraps can be combined in the same box for a cool $23. The hummus ($5), kibbeh ($3), fried cauliflower ($5), fries ($5), grape leaves ($5.25) and falafel ($5.50) round out the sides. However, there a number of red flags. Inattentive staff meant there was a wait despite the place being empty. I ended up standing around for a few minutes (#2) while other late night goers waited in their cars while observing an empty kitchen and a few dirty tables. The meats on the spit were sitting idly while looking really dry and there was no one to maintain the spin. The desserts sat inside of a display case with an incredible amount of condensation from how muggy it was. It didn't look particularly appetizing. Eventually someone came and I was able to order a smattering of many things that included a beef arabi ($14.75), chicken shawarma rice bowl ($14.75), lamb gyro loaded fries ($15), a falafel salad bowl ($14.75), an "Italian" shawarma platter ($17), and a chicken shawarma sandwich ($10.75) with a few sides that included the grape leaves, kibbeh, single side of falafel, and hummus. Most of the food was an abomination. The loaded fries was practically a brick since the cheese was microwaved so hard that separating the (overly dry) fries from the solidified cheese was next to impossible. Instead, I picked it up like a funnel cake at a state fair and took bites out of it as a whole. It was not my best look. The falafel was super dry and didn't seem all that fresh. The salad bowl was extremely underwhelming and the rice bowl was unmemorable, save for extra pourings of the sauce. I suppose the arabi and Italian shawarma were the semi-saving grace, as my group of dining companions enjoyed these the most. The kibbe was solid, despite feeling a bit pricey at basically a $1.50 a bite. I'm glad I finally was able to cross this place off my bookmarks and finally got an opportunity to try this beloved chain. While I don't rule out a future return, I think I'll be looking to give the other locations a shot first. _________ (#1) Just a $120+, NBD. (#2) While listening to some *bumpin* Arabic music on their TV stream.
