The Jordanian wrap was absolutely heavenly. The gyro meat on it was so full of flavor and simultaneous crisp and tender. The Shawarma plate came with chicken, a side salad, rice, and hummus with pita. The salad was probably the best salad I've ever had, with extremely fresh and green lettuce and tons of an extremely Greek dressing. Like the gyro, the chicken was juicy and full of flavor. The pita and hummus were likewise some of the best I've ever had, and the portions were extremely generous!! The price and value are great- I think our meals were like $11 and came with so much quality food. We also received great service from Karleigh who comped us some other dips and baklava when my fiancé's meal was made wrong the first time (he asked for no sundries tomatoes on his wrap and they forgot initially and then remade it promptly). Support this place!! It is a gem in this community.

I really enjoyed the seasoning on the chicken and what really won me over was the char. This meat was freshly sliced off the pit and not sitting in a pot waiting to be served and losing its freshness. I also noticed some things on the menu that seemed unique, like skillets, so I will definitely have to try that next time we are in the area. The extra Kalamata olives took it over the top! The interior was quaint, cozy and inviting. This is not the place to come with a large group. We look forward to next time!

I'm happy to report that their food is still awesome! Also, their dining atmosphere is really cozy, although very open with plenty of seating. Very nice music, appropriately themed, playing in the background. I was greeted by my hostess at the door immediately, and she was my server as well. Very friendly, happy and checked on me at just the right times. I always go for that Combination Plate, because I just can't steer myself away from it. The Chicken Shwarma and Gyros meat are always tender and flavorful. The Grecian Sauce, aka Tzatziki is amazing! The pita bread is fresh, and the hummus is a nice side along with the feta salad.

We ordered the three-meat sandwich, the kebab sandwich (daily special), and a side of grape leaves. Everything on the three-meat sub was delicious and well-seasoned, a nice medley of lamb, spinach, tomatoes, and chopped chicken and beef. Although both sandwiches had similar flavor profiles, the daily special was also super tasty. The shop also carries a nice assortment of spices, hot sauces, sweets and canned goods from the Middle East. Counter service was also super friendly and the cheapest sandwich was just under $10.

This place has been so good for so long. Never had a bad meal here…read more We had some friends in town and we were hanging out uptown. Got some reservations to grab lunch and fuel some more shopping. All the hummus is good, but we started with my favorite the fried chicken hummus. Got a few other small bites. The star of the show was the chicken schnitzel sandwich. If you talk about the chicken sandwich wars this one wins it all. It's so crispy, crunchy, and full of flavor. First time I've tried this and I'm going to have a problem ordering anything else from now on. Service was great and my friend introduced our server to the term fridge cigarette for a Diet Coke, which was funny.

Second time I came for a private event. Very nice exclusive upstairs private event space and bar, I loved the interior. I had delicious pomegranate lemonade mocktail. I loved the fried chicken hummus, Mediterranean cucumber salad, Brussels chicken, steak the most. Everything was amazing and flavorful, I don't think you can go wrong. The cinnamon date dessert just tasted like bread XD but overall I would totally come back! I think I prefer the sister restaurant though Parking: limited parking lot, limited street parking

Celiacs, rejoice! There's a spot in town for us…read more My husband is Jewish and has wanted to try Tavi for awhile. The problem is we live in Houston and only come to the area to see my parents twice every year. On our final night, he said he wanted to go to Tavi. Wish granted. We got a reservation on Open Table (highly recommend) and headed that way. Will was our server (and was also the bartender). He was incredible. He explained how the kitchen has a dedicated fryer for gluten-free items so celiacs and gluten intolerant folks won't react. Words cannot express how much that means to us. Additionally, they could do the fried chicken hummus and use rice flour to bread it instead of wheat. We ordered it. Upon arrival, it was so incredibly good. They brought fresh vegetables (crudite) to use instead of pita (it's $8, but they are homegrown and fresh). My husband, who can have all the gluten in the world, enjoyed his with pita. He put it on his plate. The pita also came with olive oil and is made in house. You can watch them bake it in the wood-fired oven. The pita is also the base for the flatbreads. When it came time to order our real food, I got the shrimp and subbed couscous for the rice. It was like a fried Israeli rice with pistachios. Lots of crunch and excellent. The shrimp came in a New Orleans style bbq sauce. I could have drank just the sauce (and taken some years off of my life cause it was butter). My husband had the lamb shawarma since they were half off on Saturday. His came with fries. He was so impressed. If you come and split an appetizer, you could easily split a shawarma. The portions are huge (not on the shrimp, though). You definitely need reservations if you have a larger party. It's not too loud inside, but there's ongoing chatter in the background. I'd also recommend planning on staying at least an hour. They won't rush around. Parking can be a pain, so allow extra time for that. We will definitely be back!!

Healthy & delicious I always wanted Athena to add more wheat in the tabouleh salad so I do it myself! Same great taste! The service is friendly but if you've been to the restaurant it's a part of the store so not very appealing. They could use screens to separate the 2 spaces or a curtain but the AC flow might get interrupted so I don't know! I guess as long as the food remains good people won't care how the place looks! It's clean so that's what's more important! YES, I recommend this place! Cheers!

Unfortunately there's only one piece on the appetizer plate (hard to share, not a good choice as a light meal). Fatoush salad is very good, with chicken shwarma and gyros, and the Moe's bite sandwich is good. The only thing I've had here that was not great was the meat mousaka. It's not bad, just kind of bland. Needs some more spice/seasoning. Good, friendly service, good food. A good place to come back and be a regular.
