    Lahmacun

    First time here, and it was very good!! Lahmacun and shepherds salad were exactly what we wanted!

    Vegetarian Pide
    Ravi K.

    we visited this restaurant to try their Knafeh. The ambience is beautiful. Although we wanted to try their Knafeh but could not stop ourselves from ordering other items on their menu. Veg and Chicken Pide are good. Knafeh was out of the world as expected. The staff was good and quick with service. Lentil balls was not what I expected. I was expecting them to be fried. They were nothing but lentils with some spices. Overall, it was a good experience. Will return to this place to try some other items except lentil balls.

    Chicken kebab

    The restaurant looks nice and clean when you walk in. The waitress was attentive and nice. The menus were diverse. I liked that they had vegan and vegetarian meals clearly marked. My friend liked the chicken kebab platter. The chicken was tasty. The only downside was having French fries on the platter, as they seemed out of place. The falafel wrap was good, and the veggies in the wrap were fresh. When signing the bill, I noticed gratuity was already added. I am fine this idea, as I always tip anyway.

    Here is the salads so fresh and rice pudding .)  Eggplant Salad Omg there is so many food

    Usually I always come to Nazif on week days and really like their kabobs and lentil soup also rice pudding. Today we came with my friends to Nazif on Sunday and they had open buffet. I recommend to come and try their open buffet as well beside week days. Food was so delicious and fresh everything was so good as always.

    We really enjoyed our first visit to this foodie paradise, we're already planning the next visit. My wife and I both got lunch combos from the last page of their extensive menu. My wife got the combo 3, ground meat pideh.....looks like a pizza shaped like a canoe, yum, lentil soup which was the best thing we both ate, and rice pudding. Each combo lets you choose between a selection of entrees, fries, salad or soup, a dessert and a soft drink. I went with the combo 4, I picked the beef stew pideh, lentil soup, baklava and a diet coke. The lentil soup arrived with a basket of bread that went well with the soup. Great food and stellar service, we'll be back soon.

    Kunafe

    Food is consistently amazing and servers are so friendly and attentive. One thing I appreciate so much is that they have a spot for people to pray in private! Their kunafe is the BEST in Houston and I've tried it at a lot of places. I also love the baby shish, wings, and keema & cheese pide. I highly recommend!

    After a very busy day, my wife and I deserved a very delicious lunch. This was the perfect choice (our 21 year recommended). Eating here was our first but it won't be our last. We enjoyed the quick service and friendly environment. Waitresses were very polite, especially Ms. Perihan and knowledgeable about the food. I definitely recommend this to everyone.. (my wife asked to to also include that it is a very clean place:)

    This was by far the worst Mediterranean food I've had in my life. Normally they have an ala carte menu but because of Ramadan, they had a buffet also available and it was priced at $25 per person. I came here with a few other friends as they wanted to dine with me. We had a total of four people of which two were fasting and two were not. We were all excited about the buffet but it fell way below our expectations. The line was very long as there were hungry fasters ready to fill their plates. The first thing I noticed was that there was no beef kebabs and basically no beef dish except for a cheap look-alike version of stroganoff which by the way tasted awful and penne pasta with ground beef?? They had a chicken dish which look good as it had chunky cubes of chicken but it was very dry and bland at the same time. The hummus was also very dry and pasty and the Greek salad was mediocre at best. The tabouli needed more lime and garlic and I don't even know how to describe the other dishes that were on the buffet. I don't even know what they were and I struggled to develop a taste for them. There was a desert section with plenty of desserts but nothing that stood out as I sampled and nibbled my way towards utter disappointment. There was a plate of some mangoes and pineapple which I somewhat enjoyed. This place was an absolute rip off and this buffet is not even worth $10 and to not have any good beef item, deserves the price to be slashed by $10 at least. Save yourself the money and just go to Dimassi's right down the street. These people offer a very misleading buffet And I'm still upset at blowing away $30.

    We stopped by for an early dinner at about 6 pm. Yes that's early for our desi standards. We were greeted and since we had a reservation, we were warmly seated and tables adjusted to accommodate our party of six folks. Unfortunately those seating was too hot and sun was shining right on our table and was very hot so we requested and moved to a different booth. The restaurant was very busy and the staff was warm but struggling to keep up with the customers. The AC was not working and still at our new sear we were HOT and sweating...swearing. Our orders took about 20 mins to come but felt almost like an hour because of the heat. The appetizers were probably complimentary and were the most tasty. The mixed grill and the burger was served in a different wooden platter which was unique and tasted good. The drink we ordered was the ' Uludag ' and was an orange Soda. It feels bad but overall we could not be comfortable bcoz of the heat and felt the staff was nice and polite but over worked and understaffed and could not even get us water and tea and drink took a long time and apologized profusely.

    I cannot recommend this place enough. Food is delicious - they are attentive. Sultans choice dessert was so good - lamb was delicious - dips are great

    Taking a break from Imelda!

    I hate to lower my rating but service was terrible. There were only two waitresses. I wasn't offered water. I had to ask for it as well as for bread. They used to bring silverware wrapped in a napkin and I didn't get any. I had to again ask for it when I received my vegetarian sampler platter. I could have used a napkin when I got the bread with olive oil. The menu has changed and the prices have gone up. A salmon sandwich is about $16 from what I saw on the menu. I used to love this place for the reasonable prices and better service.

    I really enjoyed everything that we ordered at Nazif's! The chicken kebab was phenomenal & so juicy. The lahmacun was some of the best that I have tasted. We appreciated the clean environment, friendly service, and the owner was very attentive. Great place to enjoy delicate Turkish flavors in Texas! I'll definitely be back.

    It's the best kunafeh you've ever had. Adana kebab is very good too. It is a restaurant where I am always very happy to eat.

    We had our Sunday lunch at Istanbul Grill and loved it. We got here by noon and there was no wait…read more The food came out quickly and everything tasted great. Our server suggested ordering a few dishes and he would prepare a family platter as we were 6 in our party. The Doner kebab was our favorite and we loved the Pastrami Pide as an appetizer. The restaurant was decorated with authentic Turkish mosaics and art work.

    Istanbul was an average experience for me. There are very limited vegetarian options and I was sad…read moreto see that falafel sandwiches are only offered until 4pm. The only two entrees I could see were a falafel plate and a cheese pida for vegetarians. I opted for the the cheese pida and a salad as I felt like my dinner needed some vegetables. The salad was plain tasting consisting of a lemon based dressing and cubes of tomato, cucumber, bell pepper. The dressing was not strong and I wished it had more flavor. I took it home and added my own dressing from home the next day. It's unfortunate that they charge an additional $1.50 for feta cheese which would have elevated the salad flavor. The cheese pide was good and a very large portion size. I wish there were some vegetables added however. The dough was delicious. Istanbul grill does make good bread. The pita bread was also good, very soft, and tasted fresh. It was busy on a Saturday night. Decor is minimal inside and ambiance was family friendly. Most of the tables were families with children. I will note that the interior was on the warmer side for a November night. Overall likely would not return just because of limited vegetarian food.

Pinch of sumac which was available on each table was a perfect addition to our dishes. Highly recommend hot Persian tea. Pricing: $$ - very affordable for the quality and quantity of foods received.

However, we were charged for it at the end. I understand the charge itself, but no one at the table had ordered it; they just set it on the table. It would have been nice if the staff had made it clear or asked if we wanted to add it to our meal. Perhaps there was a mix up with another table. Our experience was otherwise great, but double check the menu for what is complimentary and what isn't.
