    The staff is so polite and sweet, and the food is absolutely amazing! I highly recommend eating here because not only is their service kind, but the food is great! The atmosphere is really calm and relaxing.

    The Regular Platter.  I choose chicken as my protein.  This meal is so filling!!  And

    My co-worker went to The Halal Guys and picked up lunch for is. I ordered the Regular Platter. Over the past few months, I have ordered food from there at least ten times. The food is always delicious and filling. I have never been able to consume all of my food in one day. If you want some food that is clean and good for you go tho The Halal Group is a nice place to go and the food is delicious.

    The Halal Guys now have a northern outpost on Louetta not far from Hwy 249. It is located in a new and busy strip center and parking can be challenging in front when competing with the other businesses during a meal time. I had lunch there last weekend. Inside it has a long ordering counter and I ordered a large chicken bowl for $11. It's only $1 more expensive than a small size. They heaped the lettuce, tomatoes, chicken, rice and that lovely white sauce and bbq sauce that I like so much. I added a fountain drink too. It was a very good tasting, filling and economical meal. Just like it is at the other 3 or 4 Houston area outposts. I'm glad they have one up here because it's more accessible to me. Come eat here.

    I just had the best dinner experience here this evening. My 8 yr old tried a gyro bowl for the first time and she fell in love with it. We almost always have left overs cause of the decent sized meals. Thank you to the whole staff of The Halal Guys every time is a blessing.

    Chicken and falafel sandwich (xtra white sauce) with a side of hummus and pita bread

    I come here for lunch once a week and I love this place. You get a large amount of quality food for a decent price and the service is always very fast and friendly. I just started using the app and I found that you can get some good deals through it. The photo included with this post is what I got today for about $9.50 (although I should mention that the side and drink were free through an in app promotion).

    Chicken Platter with a Passion Fruit Lemonade

    If you haven't had Halal guys what are you doing? The food is so good, so filling and just a must try. Get the white sauce for sure, I always get the chicken platter with extra rice with onions and olives. The service is really good, everyone that works there is always nice. Also, if you like passion fruit, give their passion fruit lemonade a try! Not too sweet and really refreshing!

    Chicken & Beef Gyro Platter
    Jarvas H.

    Great lunch spot!!! Food was fresh a made when I ordered. Never disappointed with this place. The parking was a little tight, but I managed to find somewhere to park. The area is very peaceful and serene shopping strip. I ordered the combo bowl with the chicken and gyro beef....full of veggies...now I must warn you about the red sauce. One line was enough for me, but if you are feeling adventurous go for more lol. Overall a great bowl of delicious flavors!!! Enjoy.

    Small chicken platter ($9 something) and regular combo platter ($10 something). Preferred the beef (more flavor) over chicken
    Diana N.

    Got a small chicken platter ($9 something) and regular combo platter ($10 something). Preferred the beef (more flavor) over chicken. Decent amount of protein for the price, and the small was filling for me. White sauce is very good but high in calories for those health conscious folks. The red sauce is quite spicy. I still like Gyro Hut better (their chicken has more flavor), but Halal Guys is also good.

    Jeff S.

    We were on the hunt for a gyro when we found Halal guys. Personally I loved everything, but the girlfriend was not a fan of the white sauce. I will say the lady behind the counter came out to us and pretty much let us sample the rest of the menu! I will say they are very friendly with some really good food. Fries are extra crisp and big enough for two.

    Solid four stars. The owner or the manager that works here he is always wearing a purple shirt and he is very nice. He is very personable when he goes out of his way to make you feel welcome and gives you a really good portion size for your money. The only reason why I tried to play soccer because my friend had a buy one get one free coupon on the app called save to save. So you buy one platter and you get one platter free. We both got the combo platter beef and chicken. It came with an assortment of vegetables like lettuce tomatoes olives jalapeños bell pepper and a very hot sauce. Oh and a white sauce as well. Let me tell you I can eat very hot sauces and hot food. This hot sauce is seriously hot. I was shocked as to how hot it is. It's very good though. So if you like hot sauce to me it's a must try. The overall flavor of the bowls was a little much for me. I think the ethnic spices were just a little too much. I could almost feel them sweating out of my pores later at the gym. Very distinct some scent. Very strong. The chicken and beef were very fresh though so I give them that. I will definitely come back and try more things. One thing I wish they had like most Mediterranean restaurant is the shish kebab. I love the beef shish kebabs. If they had that I will come there more often. If you're in the area and you're looking for a restaurant to try, I suggest giving them a shot. We were very pleased. Also the homemade chocolate chip cookies was probably the best.

And the desserts are large and homemade! It's hard to save room though. You'll love the fish, steaks, and kebabs. They do a nice lunch sandwich- and still comes with the bread and a Greek salad. 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!

Established back in 1977, this Greek café has grown from a humble walk‑up window into a full‑fledged neighborhood institution, beloved for its hearty Mediterranean comfort food and lively, come‑as‑you‑are atmosphere. The Montrose location stays bustling from lunch through late night, drawing in everyone from families to night‑owls to longtime regulars who've been coming here for decades. What keeps people returning is simple: the food hits. Diners consistently praise the authentic Greek flavors, especially the gyro plates -- a blend of beef and lamb shaved from the spit, tucked into warm, fresh pita, and finished with cool, garlicky tzatziki. Portions are generous without being sloppy, and the pricing stays reasonable, making it one of the best value spots in the neighborhood. Your gyro arrives stacked, your fries come hot, and your plate feels like it was built by someone who actually wants you to leave full. The menu is huge, but the classics shine brightest. The Greek salad is crisp and refreshing, loaded with feta, olives, tomatoes, and their famous dressing. Service here is fast, friendly, and efficient -- the kind of counter‑style operation where the staff keeps things moving without losing the warmth that makes the place feel welcoming. Guests frequently mention how upbeat and helpful the team is, even during rush hours. The vibe is lively but never chaotic: families grabbing dinner, couples sharing mezze plates, and regulars chatting with staff like old friends. It's casual, energetic, and unmistakably Montrose. One thing that sets Niko Niko's apart is its deep Houston history. The Fetokakis family has run the restaurant for nearly half a century, maintaining a strong work ethic and a commitment to quality that helped the café earn multiple Houston Press awards over the years -- from Best Pork Chops to Best Family‑Owned Restaurant. Even as the city has changed around it, Niko Niko's has stayed true to its roots: hearty food, Greek hospitality, and a community‑driven spirit. Whether you're grabbing a quick gyro, sitting down for a full spread, or stopping by for dessert after a night out, Niko Niko's delivers exactly what a neighborhood staple should: great food, great value, and a welcoming atmosphere. The flavors are bold, the portions are generous, and the experience feels like Houston -- diverse, warm, and full of character. If you're in Montrose and craving Greek comfort done right, this spot remains one of the city's most reliable pleasures.

One of our sides was the baba ghanoush, which was incredible. Dont get me started on the pita it comes with....Warm, soft, and fresh. It takes everything in me not to demolish the whole basket. For our other side, we always get the potatoes. They're perfectly seasoned with a slight sweetness and a little kick. Hands down my favorite side dish here! The portions are generous too. For me and my boyfriend (who can definitely eat), splitting this is always enough to fill us up. I also have to shout out the service because it's consistently great. Even when it's packed and there's just one waiter, everything flows smoothly. Safe to say we'll keep coming back!
