Chicken shawarma wrap
Jessica R.

The service is amazing! On top of the food. I get the chicken shawarma wrap with seasoned fries on the regular. Although the falafel with hummus is really good as well as the grape leaves! Im still working on trying the full menu because i just know it will taste good !

Italian Chicken Shawarma (soooo good omg the bread!!)
Fatima L.

I haven't posted on Yelp in a long time, but I wanted to break my hiatus to review this delightful little Middle Eastern food truck in the lot of the Texaco. It has a halal cart Levantine menu featuring shawarma, gyro, and kebabs. We tried a handful of the offerings: a) the Italian Chicken Shawarma, which is seasoned sliced chicken and cheese with garlic sauce pressed in a fluffy sesame flatbread sandwich (omg that bread), a fun fusion sandwich, highly recommended; b) Beef Shawarma Arabi: a generous portion of seasoned beef with plenty of white sauce, very nice and moist in a wrap cut into shareable wedges; c) Kebab over Rice: a moist, tender kebab made of a lamb and beef mix ground by the owner, soooo good atop fragrant yellow basmati rice; d) Falafel over Hummus: crispy fresh falafel on creamy, delicious hummus rich with tahini flavor. I'd order any and all of these items again. Everything was fresh, with more than generous portions, including on the sauces (I always want more sauce!).

I don't do Halal. The meat tastes rotten to me. Use regular, high end local fresh, never frozen meat and we will return.

I frequent the Yard at St Elmo often since I live nearby. Most of the time I am at St Elmo Brewing…read moreand alternate between having Spicy Boys or Patty Palace for food so I don't make it down to check what's new as often I should. Reem's is located by Spokesman coffee and I recently was able to learn about them and try their falafel at a Yelp event, and it really was the best falafel I had ever had - well seasoned, perfectly crisp, yet light on the inside. Ever since, I had bookmarked it so I could try more. I ordered a Chicken Plate and a Falafel Plate for delivery to share with a friend. They both traveled well. The plates come with a side of tabouli and hummus. I got the Spicy Hummus, which I didn't get any heat at all so I would order spicier in the future. The tabouli was nice and bright from the fresh parsley. The chicken was okay but I think I'd try the beef and lamb instead. The falafel was just as good as I remembered and I can see myself just buying a side of falafel every time I walk by.

I discovered St..Elmo and came back!…read more I originally trying a falafel sample at the Discover St. Elmo event with Yelp. I came back because I appreciated having a sample today reflected the main dishes of a Jerusalem street food truck. I order using the he link to their toast. They were on a break, so I had to wait a little longer. The link to order came in handy vs me waiting to put an order in until someone arrived. I ordered the chicken shawarma wrap and a side of falafels. My falafels were crispy and flavorful. The chicken shawarma wrap was the perfect size. The amount of meat on the wrap was really good, all of the ingredients were balanced well. The chicken was flavorful as well. I wanted to order fries, but they were sold out. There is plenty of seating available throughout St. Elmo. You can sit outside, listen to music, and grab a drimk from other businesses. I will definitely go again!

We ordered the half order falafel with hummus, mint lemonade, lamb kabob platter, and beef kabob platter. Everything but the salad came in large Texas style portions. I requested the beef be cooked to medium and the temperature was perfect. Tips: Substitute the tahini in the kabob platters for tzatziki and request garlic sauce on the side. The garlic sauce enhances the flavor of rice.

Food is very good, service not so good... I can tell people…read morecome for the food alone. The place is nice and has a nice layout. However, I'll think about coming here again because I didn't feel a good vibe with the service. We had to go look for someone to show us the table even though the place was empty for early lunch. Then, to get drinks or even the order was a problem. It took so much longer than usual. Our waitress was rude, and seemed bothered that we showed up. Then someone else came as the waitress and she was preoccupied with other tables and barely checked on us. A regular lunch which would've been one hour became almost two because of the lack of service. My friend had to stand and look for someone to give us a box to take out the good we couldn't eat because it was getting late and also to get the check because No one came in to check on us at all. It was almost like pulling teeth to get a regular service let alone good service. Again, the food was really good, and that alone was the only positive.

Just make sure to check date on your items. There have been a couple times where I've encountered out of Date items.

Came here looking for the Dubai Chocolate items to make at home... we left with so much more!…read more Very friendly shop owners and employees. They had Kadayif in a bag and also Kataifi in the frozen section. Then they had the pistachio cream paste. The chicken shawarma that is made to order is SOOOOOo good. Warm when they had it to you for 9.99. They have kabob plates we will try next! Now the ck shawarma is not the size of a chipotle burrito yet it packs a punch! Marinated chicken, wonderful spices, a to die for garlic aioli or hummus spread which ward off vampires for days, fresh tomato, parsley. It's a wonderful party in your mouth. My teen daughter is obsessed... she said "I would eat this over chic fil a". Well thats pretty surprising. Cash or credit here. Small mom and pop so no frills. The grocery store has fresh fetas, olive bar, fresh in house made baklava (traditional, pistachio, walnut).. that was amazing! NOT soggy and 2.50 per piece.. great layers of crunch on the top and not too sweet. I'd go back for a tray of those!! We will def be back! You should check this out too! Its across from Amy's Ice creamoff Barton on S.Lamar. Stand alone building with blue signage. Don't be scared... go take an adventure. Small parking lot.. maybe holds 6-8 cars max and easy in/out of Lamar.

I come here exclusively for the pistachio baklava cheesecake. The parking situation is a bit of a…read moreheadache but totally worth it. I've only ever ordered takeout at the counter so I can't speak to the dine-in experience, but the service is smooth and efficient. Dessert is ready in about 5 minutes and food orders during busy dinner hours have taken around 20 minutes, which honestly wasn't bad at all given how packed they get. Everything is always packaged nicely and securely, and the food is consistently delicious. They also carry other sweets worth trying like honey cakes and pistachio baklava. On the savory side, some dishes I've really enjoyed are the Mezze Platter, Beef and Lamb Doner, and Ribeye Steak Shish Kebab. It's not super loud but the front can get a bit overstimulating when it's busy, so if you're not a fan of crowds I'd recommend coming outside of peak hours. This most recent time, I didn't realize until I was home that they forgot to pack one of the baklava cheesecakes I'd ordered. They were able to refund me over the phone when I couldn't come back to pick it up. Highly recommend!

Recently visited MezzMe and was genuinely impressed -- definitely a place I'd come back to…read more We started with the Iskender kebab -- presentation was . The meat was juicy and tender, topped with a rich tomato sauce, and the yogurt added a perfect balance. The bread soaks up all the juices, making every bite incredibly flavorful. You can tell this isn't just "Turkish food" -- it's made with real attention to detail. For the main course, we had a mixed grill: doner, kebab, and chicken. Everything was cooked just right -- nothing dry, with a nice charcoal flavor. The doner stood out in particular -- very juicy with great texture. The rice was fluffy, sides were fresh, and the sauces complemented everything well. We also tried the pide (a Turkish-style flatbread/boat pizza). The dough was soft inside with a crispy crust, and the topping was rich and well-balanced. Overall: -- generous portions -- fair prices for the quality -- fast service -- casual but cozy atmosphere If you like Turkish food or just want a solid, satisfying meat-based meal -- this spot is definitely worth checking out.
