I finally visited this Greek/Mediterranean/Persian restaurant on a Sunday for lunch to see why it's…read morerated so high. Inside is elegant and well decorated with glass tables and large rugs everywhere. Looking at the menu, it's a mix of various cuisines, but they do separate out the Persian dishes which are somewhat similar to Mediterranean ones just cost a little more and have different spices altogether. If you visit on weekend nights, you'll likely get to see belly dancing here. I settled on the chicken shawarma wrap, even though it costs a few dollars more than the chicken pita. It does come with one side for $21,and I chose French fries. It tasted pretty good, but you do have to get used to the pickles which gives the wrap an overall weird taste. These are not your typical pickles which go well with American fried chicken sandwiches. A Mexican tortilla is used as a wrap here instead of the bread they use for wraps in other Mediterranean restaurants in Houston. If I wanted a chicken burrito, i would have dined at a Mexican restaurant. The fries are previously frozen ones and lightly seasoned and really only decent when hot. Unfortunately this is one of those restaurants which takes care of newly seated guests and large parties but ignores the tables of 1. Not my fault I only have one in my party. They seated me in the corner and another gentleman came about 20 mins after me and I never saw a waitress go to his table after being served his entree either. The chef or kitchen hand is the one who brings out the entree from the kitchen here and my waitress never showed up until they try to take your plate away. However, I was still eating and also waiting for 10 mins on a refill. I can only eat so much before needing to take a sip of a liquid...but if you come with a party of one here..you will likely be waiting awhile. The lady taking my plate wasn't even my waitress either. Meanwhile, for the gentleman sitting outside alone, I observed his drink to be empty a while and they weren't refilling his either. He finally leaves and goes to a cash register to pay. What? A semi-fine dining elegant spot with mandolin playing in the background has a cash register where you have to go up to pay? What is this world coming to? With these prices, they should roll out red carpet from the front door to your table each time you walk in....and surely make the waitress do something for once and take your card and swipe it herself at the cash register which shouldn't be in the middle of the damn room. Sort of defeats the purpose of being elegant. Did I mention the glasses are plastic here too. If they want to be refined, try at least using glasses for drinks.

Our sides consisted of caramelized onion hummus, creamy pasta, cucumber salad, roasted cauliflower, and tabouli. All were very good, especially the hummus. Their pita bread is so soft, probably the best pita bread in Houston! Really made the hummus even better.

They also have tables on the side of the building to eat outside. Got a gyro platter: choice of gyro or chicken meat, French fries & a drink. Well the gyro is quite tasty. The meat is well seasoned, but most importantly, they allow you to select toppings for your gyro wrap. Since they make bowls, you can choose bowl toppings on your gyro such as lettuce, cucumber, pickled onion, raw onion, jalapeño, olives, pickles, tomatoes, & a few others. They have the standard taziki sauce but also give you a garlic white sauce. French fries were crispy. I give the gyro 8.8/10. The concept of adding toppings is a bonus if that appeals to you. If you need a non-dairy sauce in place of taziki, they will substitute regular or red pepper hummus. This was a great lunch spot for food, atmosphere & service.

On the day of the event, the two servers assigned to us were absolutely phenomenal. They helped with setup and were attentive in serving food and drinks to our guests throughout the event. The space itself was clean, cute, and cozy--perfect for an intimate gathering. The food was delicious as well. Although we didn't receive the rice we had ordered, they made up for it by providing extra pita. One challenge was that the AC wasn't working, but the staff handled it as best as they could by bringing out a large kitchen fan to help keep guests comfortable. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. I would definitely use them again for catering and would consider hosting another event there in the future.

I do want to recognize the young woman working today--she was friendly, professional, and provided great customer service. The gentleman that was working with her today 5/30 at 2pm was not. He was rude to her and the customers. My biggest concern is the lack of respect shown to customers and, at times, to your own staff. Long-time customers notice these things, and it affects the overall experience. With Gyro Hut opening next door, I'll be taking my business there instead. It's disappointing because this used to be one of my regular spots, but the recent decline in quality and service has made me look elsewhere.
