    Been shawarma wrap
    Rachel B.

    We stopped here after going to west chase and on the way home. It was our first time inside. We had previously gotten take out and it was pretty good. The inside is small and a bit shabby, but it was a nice day so we sat on the patio. It was also in need of some remodeling, but it was comfortable and not busy. There was only one waitress, but she was nice and friendly and helpful. We ordered the shawarma wraps: beef and Philly chicken, chicken Alfredo flat bread pizza, hummus with pita, fried cauliflower, a Greek salad, labneh and mint lemon slushies (as recommended by the waitress). The wraps do not come with sides so when you add sides (they don't offer side salads) it starts to add up. The food was tasty and fresh; I wished the pita was served warm like the wraps though. My husband and daughter loved the slushies. Our bill was 98 with tip which is pricey for lunch at a very casual cafe, but at least it was tasty and the weather was nice! If you go, stick with just a wrap!

    Beef shawarma platter
    Megan L.

    I enjoyed a yummy beef shawarma platter here on a quiet Friday evening. The entrance to the restaurant itself is a bit out of the way, tucked behind an unassuming strip mall, but had some indoor and ample outdoor seating. The beef shawarma platter came with a sizeable amount of meat, pita, fries, tahini, hummus, onions, and pickles. What I enjoyed about this meal was the meat - while perhaps slightly dry, that was easily remedied with the addition of the tahini/hummus. I also felt that the portion sizes were quite generous, to the point that even I as a voracious eater felt quite full afterwards. I was a little bummed that they did not offer any rice as a default option, and the pita was a bit flat as opposed to fluffy, but overall can't complain too much for the price of ~$16. The service was also prompt, though to be fair I was the only one in the restaurant for the majority of the Friday evening. Overall, I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quick Mediterranean fix in the area, particularly to any meat lovers out there.

    Really good!! Friendly service, tasty food, fantastic hours for the night owls like myself and lots of variety at a decent price. The chicken shawarma was yummy in my tummy, wish it was just a bitttt more seasoned or that the sauce was stronger? Baklava was definitely perfect. Not too sweet and soaked in honey while keeping its flaky texture!!!

    Great place for late night shawarma in the Energy Corridor area. Great customer service and speedy service. The foods is hot and well balanced. I tried the Hummas Shawarma and it was very tasty, next time I will ask to add pomegranate seeds. The halloumi is a must, perfectly fried.

    Wow, wowwwww!! I stumbled upon this place a few months ago and luckily I am in love with mediterranean food. This place is a staple for me and I highly recommend checking it out. My typical order would be a Chicken Shawarma platter or Chicken Shawarma wrap. The platter comes with their amazing chicken shawarma with hummus and fresh veggies. Also a basket of fries & pita bread. Most importantly their signature tahini sauce, OooooHhhh man! Best tahini sauce i've had so far. The wrap is served in two pieces so it's quite easy to eat. Their Shawarma wrap is not messy at all, typically when I eat a wrap it's messy. This one held up pretty nicely. This is comfort food to me and it can turn a frown upside down. For dessert, my go to is their Baklava! Ugh so good. it's a delicious, flaky dessert made with thin sheets of dough soaked in honey and layered with nuts. Nothing but perfection! The service here is amazing, i've never had any problems. The owner is really nice, greets anyone that comes through his doors. The interior of the place could be better but it's the food that speaks volumes.

    Passing by this cute place and decided to order something ! Loveed the chai and shawarma and the cheesecake slice they had ! If I lived by close wooukd definitely come back! Friendly staff

    I love this place, one of my favorite places in Houston to get Mediterranean food. I love the service, very friendly and kind. It's a nice atmosphere, very cozy, and feels warm. I always get the same thing, which I recommend if you're a first timer with Mediterranean food.

    So we'd driven past this restaurant and we were both very happy we finally pulled in and tried it. The staff was very friendly, the food was tasty, and we both loved the atmosphere. Next time we'll have to try the hookah. The patio is beautiful and somehow the was they had the fans wasn't super loud, and kept away flies. We're both looking forward to returning. Oh, they also sell Turkish coffee with the pot so not only did we have an amazing dinner, I was able to explore an entirely amazing coffee experience the next morning. You should give this spot a try.

If you come on a weekend evening, you may run into the owner having the time of her life! And they take pride in serving the most sweet and ripe slice of melon with every dish. Started to enjoy this first each time I come. It is that delicious, but why can't I find fruit like that anywhere at a grocery store? Give this place a try. Yummy. Officially the authentic Greek restaurant without going overboard. Wait- the homemade 3 layer chocolate cake and the lemon cake! Actually bought a whole one for a large birthday party and everyone wanted to know the bakery name- just Athena's homemade cake! Remember, Greek food is fresh with best ingredients. Service is above that notch and family atmosphere with Greek music- always. But I do find I'm stopping in there solo all the time; others too! Say hello to Maria when you go, she loves to talk to her clients!

While the wine selection and date friendly vibes were good selling points, the subpar service, high prices, and average food made for a less than stellar experience. These factors likely contributed to their recent closure, which is unfortunate. The interior was modern and intimate. High ceilings and large mirrors made the place feel more spacious than it was. It was a nice vibe that made the place visually appealing and date friendly. The brick walls, nice decor pieces, and ultra clean bathrooms were a big thumbs up. But vibes can't save poorly executed food. The octopus was dry and overcooked, the potato croquettes were a bit disappointing, as was, the trio of of dips. The souvlaki was supposed to be their most popular dish, but after trying their ribeye, pork, and chicken, it was simply too bland and not up to par. The gyro platters did not fare much better and the lamb chops were under seasoned. The lemon potatoes needed way more lemon but the only dish that was acceptable was the spanakopita (aka spinach pie). It was all overpriced, especially given the modest portions. Service was often aloof or nowhere to be found. When the nice woman butchered souvlaki and spanakopita, my gut was already in cringe. At least there was discount for cash. While I am saddened by their departure, I take comfort in knowing there are better options available in the city.

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.

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.
