    Whole Falafel wrap.
    Rachelle K.

    Our family is fasting from meat for lent, which limits our options, especially when dining out. We visited Shawarma Land - and let me tell you. This was one of the best mom-and-pop shop experiences we've ever had. We came specifically for the falafel wrap - four of us, we ordered 6 thinking our teens would still be hungry. At $8.99 each, we figured they would be regular sized. Nope. They were HUGE, and loaded with the RIGHT toppings - pickled turnips, Armenian pickles, lettuce, tomato - tahini sauce. We also ordered the Mediterranean salad (yummy), hummus (yummy) and fries ('normal' yummy). The best part - the owner was so kind and offered for us to participate in Iftar. HIGHLY recommend. If you like falafel this is the spot.

    Chicken Shawarma Wrap

    Chicken shawarma, all the veggies, extra grilled (To-Go) SOO YUMMY! Guys at the counter were also very quick, nice, and insightful!

    I was craving a shawarma for lunch and was hopeful to find a place close to the office. What I didn't realize is that this place would be one that is now my go to when I'm on this side of town! They had all five stars on here so I knew I'd be in for a treat, and I was right! Came in and the place was super clean and had vibrant colors and paintings on the wall. Wasnt sure what i wanted, I always say ill try something new but in this case, i saw the huge chicken and beef spinning on the fire and just knew i had to go with the chicken shawarma! I asked if they could cut mine in half vs how it shows it comes bc I knew I wouldn't be able to finish it and wanted to wrap up the rest for later! As the meal arrived, I could smell just how good it was going to be. My co worker who joined me but wasn't hungry for lunch was contemplating if she should in fact order food for later!! This was one of the best shawarmas I've ever had. It was flavored deliciously and so fresh, and the bread so warm, and every bite had that amazing garlic sauce that drizzled down my hand as I ate more and more! I was in heaven!! The fries have potential, they were seasoned nicely, but I needed them cooked for just about 60-90 seconds for the perfect crunch to have some texture. The meal came with a side of the garlic sauce also, which I drizzled more and more on throughout my meal! Good thing I didn't have any more meetings that day! Anywho, as suspected, I took the other half home so I could have it for later, and I just thought about all these delicious flavors for the rest of the day! I ate the other half the next morning and it was even better bc all the seasonings just marinated even more in the meat. I will be back, bc, I'm in love!

    Shawarma Over Hummus

    Great food, Great customer service, awesome staff Clean restroom , ambiance was nice. Will come back soon!

    Mixed shawarma

    The best shawarma in town! It tastes exactly like how they make it back home, and the workers are some of the nicest people you'll meet. I highly recommend everyone give it a try. It's affordable, the place is very clean, and definitely worth the 40-minute drive.

    Chicken Shawarma Arabi and lamb shawarma Arabi

    The atmosphere was incredibly welcoming, the staff was super friendly and attentive, and the food was spectacular -- 100/10. Even the fries were amazing. I would definitely come back, next time with my whole family to try the family tray. Thank you!

    One day I had the Tawooq and a couple of days later I came for the Sujuk. Both great sandwiches and get some of their Spicy Garlic Sauce for their fries. Awesome sauce baby!!!

    New place..

    Very cordial owner. Clean and new spot for a Shawarma. There is limited menu, obviously the name indicates that. The Shawarma is not a typical Shawarma, sort of Lavish bread. The Toum Sauce is not garlic tasting enough and though they had picked turnips, the green pickles were in the shawarma. For $14.99 is expensive with a Zero Sugar Coke to me.

    Beef Kafta Plate
    Ambreen K.

    Chicken shawarma arabi - 9/10 - One of the most flavorful and sauciest shawarmas ive tried. Also crispy, which i loved. Chicken tawooq wrap - 9/10 - So crispy and flavorful. It was a bit greasy tho. Beef kafta plate - 8/10 - Tasty and the beef was juicy but a bit bland. Fries - 9/10 - Seasoned and crispy, loved these with the garlic sauce. Hummus and pita - 7/10 - Pita wasnt fresh and soft as i was expecting. Hummus was good but not very smooth.

    Lamb Shawarma Wrap with fries.

    The lamb shawarma is delicious! Definitely coming back . The place is very clean and well kept up either way.

    I enjoyed a delicious chicken wrap wrapped in soft saj bread, served with crispy seasoned fries, a side of fresh carrots, and tangy pickles. The wrap itself was incredibly flavorful, with a unique blend of spices that awakened my taste buds--truly an amazing experience. The fries were perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside yet tender inside, and complemented by a side of creamy coleslaw and savory garlic cream sauce. This meal was absolutely satisfying, and I plan to come back with friends soon. The staff was very attentive, ensuring prompt service. The food was fresh and prepared quickly, arriving at my table within just 10 minutes. I'm glad I stopped by and tried something new; the place has a nice, chill atmosphere with inviting decor and comfortable seating that made the overall experience even better.

We appreciated that kind gesture. Every food item on the menu looked delicious. I decided on the Lamb Rack. Loved the texture of the lamb and loved the basmati rice. Lamb was cooked perfectly, and the rice was very fragrant. We were offered a complimentary Persian Ice Cream Sandwich which had an unique flavor. It wouldn't be a flavor for everyone, but to me, it was a perfect ending to a great entree as it was light and mildly sweet. Note that not all food options are halal. Their website is updated with the information and you could also ask the server for clarification. Absolutely adore the interior. The restaurant could get loud but still bearable.

My family in Houston waited six months to celebrate my birthday due to my health issues, and I feel so blessed to have them around me. This place is always crowded, so please make a reservation even on weekdays. We went on weekdays, and even then we got a reservation for 8:45 pm. But honestly, every effort was worth it. We got there on time. Velet parking is available, but if you want to avoid more waiting, pass the restaurant, and you will see a big parking lot. We walked in and loved the interior, but it was very crowded with happy faces. We were seated in 5 minutes and started enjoying the ambiance and decor. It's a beautiful place to celebrate precious moments with your family and friends. Everyone loved our server, Zack, and his presence and approach. He talks so kindly with each of us. His recommendations were so good that we found every kind of dish for everyone, including vegetarian options. We started with sides, Thanks to Zack.

One thing we really appreciated was the toppings bar, which included pickles, onions, pickled onions, jalapeños, and two different barbecue sauces so you could customize each bite. They even had a mini soft-serve ice cream machine for a little dessert after your meal, which was a nice touch. They also offer family meal options, making it a great choice for larger groups. The restaurant was clean, had plenty of seating, and the staff was friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. If you're looking for excellent halal barbecue in the Houston area, Levant is definitely worth a visit!

    What a wonderful experience we had with the family…read more As we took the elevator to the second floor to the reception area, I noticed right way I think I stepped into a different world. The reception area was small and almost claustrophobic, but very ornate. There were a few chairs for you to wait. We didn't wait long, probably less than a minute. As the hostess lead us into the main dinning area, I was shocked on how big the place was (it reminding me of the big meat market restaurants in NYC). The first room was bright from the outside sunlight, almost like an outside cafe. Our table was in a different area, where it was a little darker and decorated a lot differently from the previous room. As I looked around, there were other sections at this restaurant that kind of represented different places. The section we sat in had a very long table...which I'm guessing can host a very big family or corporate party. It sat right next to the open kitchen. Our waitress, Yaretzy, was very nice. She explained how the owners traveled to the different states of India and want to share that experience at Musaafer. Yaretzy would provide an explanation for each dish. Some of them were mixed/put together table side. Everything was delicious, and not too spicy. Musaafer is fine dining, so it's not something we can do ever weekend. But we will be back. Getting here was a little tricky if you are not familiar with the area. The restaurant is located in the Galleria. The entrance to Musaafer is on the first floor inside the mall, down the hallway closest to Saks Fifth Ave on the right (if facing Saks). You will need to take the private elevator to the second floor or walk up the stairs. There is valet parking if you prefer to do that. I think there is a small parking lot in front of the restaurant that might be free, but we went into the underground Purple garage. If you park right after going down the ramp into the Purple garage, you will see an elevator into Saks Fifth Ave, which you take up and walk outside with a short walk to Musaafer. The only problem with what we did was when Saks closes, we couldn't take that elevator back down. There were stairs back down to the purple garage, but it stank! There had to be another elevator that will take you into the mall.

    We ain't in Queens anymore…read more For years, I've eaten on Shah's all around the borough, initially out in Ozone Park and Briarwood before finding a real audience in Sunnyside. Now that they've sufficiently blown up around NYC, I was a bit shocked (and excited) to see them finally come to H-Town. What's the verdict? It's good enough to pass muster for NY standards (#1), is open super late, and will likely be my go-to Halal food for the foreseeable future. Since I've only had it in cart form, I'm still a buggin over the fact it's become a franchise. It's similar to my shock of eating Halal Guys at a store for the first time. The digs feel as foreign (prices, large, clean and bright interior) as it does familiar (taste, logo, etc.). Even though I had a laugh seeing the wall photo-mural of a Shah's cart in Times Square, I did appreciate the nod to Ozone Park with the 121st & Liberty street signs. The chicken + lamb combo platter ($12) is and always will be the winner. The lamb had the same kind of seasoning that most Halal spots out here try to replicate but can never get right. The rice was fluffy, and the white sauce was easily the highlight. I can understand why they've decided to bottle it up and sell it as liquid gold. It makes every meal better. Kofta ($12) and chapli ($13) are rarely my favorites, but I knew I had both in platter form. The addition of adding chickpeas and these other salads is not something I'm used to from the carts (#2) but I loved the fact it was drowned in the white sauce with a dash of hot sauce. The latter is supposedly extremely hot, but I didn't find it that spicy. While I have to say the cheeseburger was a bit of a disappointment (overly bready, thin patty), the pakora chips and french fries were fabulous. They were perfectly seasoned, had a nice crisp, and frankly would be an excellent, gut-busting addition to any platter. I don't love the extra charge, but I hope they remain consistent with it. This store location in Westchase along Westheimer is an up and coming part of town. There are numerous Middle Eastern businesses in the adjacent area, along with an abundance of parking spots and a good amount of late night activity. Service was friendly but I do hope they keep their standards up. As time goes on, I'm 100% convinced this will be a destination for the many late night meal seekers and fans of NY nostaligia. __________ (#1) Which automatically supersedes a lot of the ones here in Houston. Just keeping it real. (#2) Is the chickpeas a Houston thing? Genuinely curious.

I got the white sauce on the lamb and the spicy red sauce on the side. Unfortunately after a few bites I put too much hot sauce on, which made it less enjoyable, but that was my fault. I'd order this again, very solid, reminded me of some of the best halal trucks in NYC. 5*.

We opted to eat here, since they do have a small counter with a couple chairs and it was a long drive back--we wanted to try the wings fresh. We ordered the spicy honey lemon pepper wings and the buffalo garlic boneless wings. Also an order of fries and some cheese sticks. Sadly, they weren't offering waffle fries, because I was really looking forward to trying those. Out of all of the food, I probably liked the cheese sticks the best, but nothing was impressive to any degree. We had both ranch and bleu cheese, and it was hard to taste a difference between the two. They didn't put lids on some of the dipping sauces, so from the walk with our bag from the kitchen to the counter where we ate, white sauce spilled all over the bag and made a gigantic mess. The spicy honey lemon pepper tasted like mostly honey, but the wings themselves were cooked fine. The boneless wings were tough and the garlic flavor was just overall underwhelming. The fries were about as boring as it gets--I'd guess that they're frozen. The cheese sticks that I mentioned--I've actually had better at Jack in the Box. The guy who took our order was nice and easygoing, but he was constantly talking on the phone outside when not taking orders. To the extent that others who came in to order after us were taken aback and unsure if they needed to wait for him to finish his call. I really wanted to find a local business with great wings to support, but this was not it for me--I wouldn't come back.
