    Lamb Kebab
    Penny S.

    We tried this lovely, bright, airy little Middle Eastern restaurant in the N Williams neighborhood for the first time. It's been on my list for a while. We loved their food! The flavors were delightful-fresh and tasty. Our server was friendly and attentive. Overall a great experience to enjoy with friends. Here's what we ate: -Chicken Kabobs with rice, salad and Toom sauce (which is made by emulsifying garlic, lemon, & olive oil into a butter-like substance to spread on your meat or dip pita in). -Lamb Kabob with rice, salad and Toom sauce -Lamb shank with rice & salad -Gyro & salad The meat had great flavor. My chicken had onions skewered between. The salad had a bright dressing (probably lemon & olive oil) and was a nice fresh component to my meal. If you haven't tried Toom, you need to. Unless you don't like garlic. It is very garlicky! My husband really enjoyed his lamb kabob, our friend loved his lamb shank, which came with a comforting broth (see the picture) and our other friend loved her gyro. It was quite large, as gyros go! I really wanted to try their knafe for dessert but they didn't have any, sadly. We definitely plan to be back though!

    This place is AMAZING!!! I'm always on the hunt for a good middle eastern food spot and this place is absolutely going to be a new go to. The inside of the restaurant is a smaller, cozier vibe restaurant. We were greeted by staff who were extremely friendly and helpful with the menu! We started off with the fries and a hummus plate. Hummus was okay, nothing special and that's more than okay but the fries were really delicious and they serve TOUM ketchup which I have never even heard of but the combination of garlic sauce and ketchup was genius! My date had the chicken shawarma plate and I had the combo meat mix plate. The meat was amazing!!! And the rice and salad was so tasty. Absolutely love this place!!

    Vegan mezza for $20.

    When one sees a rating of 4.7 on Yelp it's usually safe to assume that the place is quite good all around. Unfortunately that is not always the case. I ordered food on GH from Mamma Khouri's today and it's probably gonna be a one and done for me. The food was just OK and not nearly worth ordering again when there are many other better options available for good Mediterranean food. I ordered the Vegan mezza plate, arnabeet, lentil soup and fries. Arnabeet is a favorite of mine and this one was tasty. The hummus and baba ghanoush were also tasty but the amount given was paltry for the price charged. The lentil soup was watery and blaaah. The fries were soggy and bland. I also didnt care for the soggy grape leaves or the very crunchy falafel. I'm quite familiar with Mediterranean food, having enjoyed this particular cuisine from many, many different places. Of course everyone is entitled to their opinion. Mamma Khouri's is a 3 star for me.

    A surprising detour led us to an amazing Mediterranean place. We tried this place on a weekend. It wasn't much crowded and the staff was welcoming and nice. The ambiance is vibrant with lot of plants and medieval style. We ordered the mezza plate, chicken kabob, fries, and some hot tea which was mint flavored. Everything was perfect and delicious. We really loved the food. Would definitely recommend this place if you are craving for some Mediterranean cuisine.

    Really good Mediterranean food and a go-again spot. Service was good. I could see this being a hit lunch spot, because when we went in there at dinner time, it was empty. Music was great. Really caught a vibe. Would definitely go here again.

    Lamb kabob with hummus and toum.

    I met a friend here for supper on a Thursday. They had some good traffic and the wait staff was super friendly. The toum is so good! The lamb was tender and very well seasoned. They were out of rice I'm afraid, but the hummus was really good. I highly recommend the mezza, as you can try most of their appetizers. We will definitely be back

    Soooo amazing I can't wait to come back:) We only ate desserts lol but they exceeded any expectations I had 1000% and service was very kind and polite. Decor of the restaurant is also very aesthetically pleasing!

    Again... I had A fabulous meal at Mama Khouris. This is a family run restaurant that really knows how to put love in their recipes. Every bite is exquisite. Presentation is fabulous. I highly recommend the mezza platter in which you can have a taste of a potpourri of Middle Eastern delicacies. The service is wonderful and attentive. A very friendly lovely place to eat. Highly recommended!

    Chicken Shawarma $16.95
    Ben C.

    Family owned, family friendly, tasted like home cooking! Not the most appetizing look when opening the to-go tray but at least packaging is recyclable. Shawarma $16.95 ~ packed with tasty flavors, a little kick, good rice texture. Puffed pita bread was fresh & chewy fun to eat.

    Been here a couple times now and am super happy to have a great Medi food option so close. We've gotten similar items both times we've gone, and the chicken shawarma is outstanding. My wife was quoted saying 'this is the best falafel I've ever had in my life.' While it had a bit more cumin than I would like, they were cooked perfectly, still moist and pillowy inside, with a thin crispy shell around the outer. The hummus and baba have been extremely fresh, and the grape leaves a nice snack too. It's awesome they offer GF pita, and appear to make them in-house and fresh to order as well. The regular pita was pretty good, but no match for Nicolas'. Service has been very friendly, though a little slow at times. Most recent visit our server was also the chef cooking dinner, who I assume was one of the owners, and seemed very vested in our good experience. Overall a great spot I'll be a regular at. My only knock is that the lighting is cold and unwelcoming. The spotlights on the tables from above feels like you're in an interrogation room.

It is a wonderful visual landmark for anyone walking along NE 13th. Inside, the atmosphere is welcoming and the service is exceptionally attentive. I had a great conversation with the staff about the restaurant's growth since opening six months ago.
