    This is a nice little gem in the Rice village area. Delicious food really friendly service great healthy options with you Felt. Welcome clean atmosphere outside of need to put a coat to use the bathroom. It was a great experience from entering to exiting parking. Can be quite difficult as it's a very busy restaurant Highly recommend I look forward to going back.

    A quick stop at this beautiful restaurant, welcomed by such kind staff! I was quite surprise at how beautifully decorated this restaurant was; quite impressive for a "mom and pop" place. I ordered their Mediterranean Grilled Chicken Pita and I have no regrets. The pita bread itself was amazing; flavorful, lick your finger kind of sandwich as you taste the reminisce of whatever they've brushed over their pita. The fluff on it was great, as well. As simple as the sandwich was, the grilled chicken with the chopped up lettuce, tomatoes and mushrooms were just what I needed. The sauce they included in the sandwich really was just the icing on the cake! I can't wait to try more!

    great food and love other locations, but this one was so skimpy on meat. for $23 I would expect more than this honestly. 2 my my 5 chicken pieces were so rubbery I could barley cut them with a knife as well.

    This place is decent, it's not great but it's not bad. It's an easy neighborhood bite. Usually the service is pretty quick but today we waited a very long time to receive our food. I don't love the ambiance because the tables are stacked very close together but they do have tables outside that have more space. Overall, the gyro was packed with a good amount of meat. They do have fresh juice and smoothie which I love.

    The food is good but the fact that they keep increasing their prices makes the food not even worth it. We won't be back anymore.

We had a larger party & ended up getting the family platter to split. We also got sides of the hummus and garlic sauce. Their hummus was really delicious! Definitely a standout. All the different kebabs on the family platter were yummy. I liked the chicken kubideh kebab the best! It was nice and juicy w/ good flavor. The jujeh, chicken kebab, and kubideh were all good, but could've been a bit more juicy for my tastes. But overall everything was yummy. The rices were good too - I liked the baghali the most. Ambiance was nice, it was pretty crowded and a bit on the louder, but had a nice and welcoming vibe. They had some interesting artwork. And value was great, it ended up not being too expensive for our table of 6. You can call and make a reservation, I recommend this on weekends as the place was pretty packed. Also - there's a parking garage in the middle of rice village with 2hrs free parking. Definitly recommend that as well because street parking can be hard to find

I have grown to trust the people who write reviews, so we went around 5:30-5:45 during the week; it turned out to be a good idea. There were just a few tables that had two, three, and four people. I've been going to restaurants for a long time and for those of you that also go, the moment you walk in there's a smell of food being prepared that wafts out from the kitchen. It's a good smell at Kasra. It was a tad early to get a true vibe, but I didn't care; I wasn't there for the vibe. Our waitress was great and knew what she was talking about. Friendly and polite, she checked on us frequently to make sure we were getting what we wanted. The food was very good and we enjoyed the different tastes from cold to hot appetizers. Make sure you try the hummus I don't stand in any line for anything, but that said if you're looking for the complete experience then go on the weekend around dinner time.

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.

We appreciated that kind gesture. Every food item on the menu looked delicious. I decided on the Lamb Rack. Loved the texture of the lamb and loved the basmati rice. Lamb was cooked perfectly, and the rice was very fragrant. We were offered a complimentary Persian Ice Cream Sandwich which had an unique flavor.

It did get a little hot after a while, but there was a slight breeze. I'm closer to Abdallah's, which is also Lebanese, but I'm happy I tried it. Of all the times driving down Washington Ave. I haven't noticed it. Probably because Laurenzo's next door has a huge, bright and green neon sign. It was pretty empty on a Sunday night after watching a few NFL games nearby with friends. We shared the mixed grill platter for two to try a variety of their meatsof. It came with 2 sides, so we chose French fries and baba ganoush. I love potatoes and eggplant. We enjoyed both sides. The baba ganoush was great paired with the warm pita. I like that they give you a basket with a good amount of smaller ones rather than one large pita. The platter also came with a side of rice. It was standard, nothing fancy but good with the meats. We preferred the chicken and pork tenderloin over the kafta, which they gave 2 of. I liked the garlicky toum sauce they had and the roasted onions, tomatoes and jalapeño. We had ordered a couple cocktails - one with lavender and one with hibiscus. I enjoyed my hibiscus one with gin. Overall, I enjoyed the food and service. They also offer hookah.
