    Chicken Sharma wrap with fries drink & tomato salad. Everything was delicious but that quick lunch meal was $24
    Ignacio D.

    A hidden gem! Chicken shwarma wrap was warm comforting packed with flavors! I had it with tomatoes salad and that was great!They also have a cafeteria style menu laid out ready to serve! A bit pricey but definitely worth the try.

    I drove by this area daily and finally able to stop by. They have a spacious patio and the inside is nice considering in a gas station. Food wise was nahhhh... and price range is consider high for a place like this (fastfood option)

    Great spot for Shawarma, chicken tenders and smoothies connected to a convenience store / gas station and open until 1am most days. The owner was also saying that they used to serve and make chocolate three years ago (hence the "chocolatier" in their sign) but they stopped. Small but cozy interior as well. Recommended!

    The food was terrible , I couldn't even finish it I ordered a chicken shawarma wrap and the chicken was dry asf and it has non cooked meat inside It's not worth it at all !!

    Gyro Beef Shawarma

    Up until a few months ago, Shawarma Stop easily one of my most frequented late night spots in all of H-Town. This place was swimming with potential: a fairly extensive outdoor setup, a pretty good array of quality foods, and open super late. Since it shares the space with a gas station convenience store, it's the perfect spot to grab a bite after pumping some gas. Then, new ownership took it over and it's been a steady decline ever since. For folks who were familiar with the previous operation, there have been a number of changes: -- They're no longer open as late. It's no longer a 4AM destination but instead a place that closes just before midnight. (Last order at 11:30PM) -- A lot of menu items are no longer being served. Fondue. Burgers. Crepes. Waffles. Many of which exist on the menu but are no longer being served in actuality. In fact, the fondue / sweets are is completely empty now. -- Much of the (Lebanese) teas are also no longer served. Now they've brought in a Community Coffee iced tea dispenser; tackily sitting in the corner. It was a little sticky when I last used it. (i.e. someone needs to clean this station often). -- The buzzers are gone. Now it's just call in and order and that's it. -- At one point the hookahs were an attraction, but I don't see any offered anymore. For the food that is served, it's a hodgepodge of mediocrity. The shawarma wrap that I used to love has now become a mushy, flavorless concoction. The meat didn't taste too fresh and the sauce was a little overbearing. After a few bites, it got a little gross. The same goes for the lamb. Hummus was also a huge thumbs down. My mixed grill platter was probably the best thing I had from here, but even at $23 for a modest portion, was not memorable. I do genuinely feel for the people working here. Part of me wants to sympathize with the sinking ship, but the execution is extremely disappointing. While I hope they can rebound, I'm not likely to muster another visit here for a long while.

    My husband and I eat a lot of Mediterranean food, and there are a lot of options near our home. We usually get gyro king or gyro hut, but seeing as this place is so close I figured I'd try them out as well. Menu options are very similar to above restaurants, and we got gyro over rice and salad. The gyro meat is pretty good- more heavy on cinnamon than most places which I actually like. Food was done relatively quickly and service was good. Their prices are a couple dollars higher than other places and overall I liked them just a bit less. The food here is fine but I think I will stick with my usual spots for Mediterranean. Of note, I did see a sign that says they serve halal for those who are interested.

    My husbands Gyro Sandwich

    Here for a routine MDA hospital visit for my husband , we stopped at this very small corner cafe - I ordered a chicken Shawarma - side of beets and Baklava for dessert. Food was freshly prepared and full of flavor - truly enjoyed every bite of my meal.The baklava square was good, the baklava roll was not as good in my opinion... I will return again .... I have had better baklava , I will go back again to try another entree. We purchased combo , but forgot to get our drinks!!! If you try this place out, I suppose you get the drinks out of cooler, they do not give them to you. Just FYI

    I would say they make good chicken shawarma and cheeseburger in overall. I would prefer kofta plate but I would have to wait 12-15 min for that, so we chose wraps and burger for a child. Taste was good but chicken was dryish. It was not juicy at all and sauce was not as light, I assume they use lots of mayo instead of yogurt or labne. Was nice little stop spot for a quick bite.

    Mango juice packaged/ delivered in a bag. Spilled all over the bag and on my food. Very careless!
    Morgan C.

    This place has HORRIBLE customer service!! I ordered on Door Dash and they sent my drink IN THE BAG with my food. It spilled all over the bag and my food. I also specifically called and asked for extra garlic sauce and they STILL only sent ONE garlic sauce. I also received NO PITA BREAD with my order even though the menu clearly says that the meal comes with Pita Bread. The food here is also not great. The lentil soup was very watery and way too salty. The chicken was dry, and the rice was not fresh. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE. I will NEVER order from here again.

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!

The jujeh, chicken kebab, and kubideh were all good, but could've been a bit more juicy for my tastes. But overall everything was yummy. The rices were good too - I liked the baghali the most. Ambiance was nice, it was pretty crowded and a bit on the louder, but had a nice and welcoming vibe. They had some interesting artwork. And value was great, it ended up not being too expensive for our table of 6. You can call and make a reservation, I recommend this on weekends as the place was pretty packed.

I have grown to trust the people who write reviews, so we went around 5:30-5:45 during the week; it turned out to be a good idea. There were just a few tables that had two, three, and four people. I've been going to restaurants for a long time and for those of you that also go, the moment you walk in there's a smell of food being prepared that wafts out from the kitchen. It's a good smell at Kasra. It was a tad early to get a true vibe, but I didn't care; I wasn't there for the vibe. Our waitress was great and knew what she was talking about. Friendly and polite, she checked on us frequently to make sure we were getting what we wanted. The food was very good and we enjoyed the different tastes from cold to hot appetizers. Make sure you try the hummus I don't stand in any line for anything, but that said if you're looking for the complete experience then go on the weekend around dinner time.
