Deliciousness- the gyro meat, the white sauce and the baklava! The flavorful meat and the creamy yogurt-dip-like white sauce were such a perfect match. Paid 69 cents for an extra packet of white sauce so that there would be enough sauce on every spoon of food scooped out of the combo platter and also for dipping the pita bread in. So Yummy, and well worth it! To end a good meal on a sweet note, the Baklava would do the job right. Even though the baklava that I had was a tad overly sweet, and soggy and even a little chewy on the bottom, the upper part was still crispy and flaky and the middle layer loaded with nuts was tender.

If you say goodbye, I say halal. Halal, halal. I don't know why you say goodbye, I say Halal. I grew up on Sammy's, so everything else is a step down. Okay, no, I didn't grow up on it at all, but I may as well have, since I eat it seventeen times every time I'm in New York. What to get: Combo with all the sauces. What else: Right now he's probably up behind her with a pool stick showing her how to shoot a Combo. This is the place that we used to go to all the time back in the old days of New York City. It's not the same anymore. It's not even close to being the same, and they put one of these in every damn town on every damn street and the quality went down, but I have to say it's still nice to have these here, and it's still a different twist on the usual fast-food, and in some regards it's really good. Thanks Jackson have a good night. Oh sorry I was talking to my little friend Jackson. You say goodbye, and I say Halal. Halal, Halal. I don't know why you say goodbye, I say Halal. OK, I do know why you say goodbye. Because you have to run to the bathroom because you just ordered from Halal Cart.

I can already tell this is going to be one of our go to spots in Houston. The Halal Guys serves consistently delicious, filling food at an affordable price. My usual order is the combo platter, which comes with both the chicken & beef gyro over rice. I'd recommend getting both the white and hot sauce on top! If you are worried about the hot sauce, they usually ask for exactly how much to put which is very helpful.

Regular Platter with Beef

Halal Guys never fails to disappoint! They closed down during the storm and I been to other locations but nothing compares to this location. The service is always impeccable they immediately welcome you when you enter I love it! I definitely recommend this location over any other halal guys in my opinion.

We first tried the Halal guys in NYC in early 2000 and loved it. We discovered Jones Fried Chicken when we moved to Houston and thought the taste and portion size were similar to Halal guys. I was in the neighborhood and decided to give this a try. I was greeted as soon as I entered and saw 4 employees working on a Friday at 2:30 pm. I was the only customer and got 2 regular platters: 1 chicken and 1 gyro beef. Half of the container was filled with lettuce and some tomatoes, then 3 scoops of rice in orange color, 2 scoops of protein and 4 pieces of triangular pita. She drizzed white sauce and added some onions. I didn't add any hummus when the lady asked if I wanted some. It was $9.69 for regular and $8.69 for a small platter. It was a quick transaction, in and out in less than 10 minutes. Pretty efficient! We had high expectation of the food as we had fond memories. Rice were a bit too hard and meat were too salty. My husband was still hungry after finishing his portion as he said he would like more rice. We actually weighed the container before we ate. My husband wasn't satisfied and decided to order Jones Fried chicken for dinner. Yes, he can eat the same thing again. Based on this experience, we concluded we got a better value (whole 5 oz more food) and quality of food at Jones than Halal guys. If we were ever in the neighborhood, we might give it a 2nd try...

We usually substitute the rice for Persian salad. Diced cucumbers, tomatoes and red onions with a Persian dressing. My favorite. For something different, try the fesenjan. Chicken served with a pomegranate, walnut and saffron stew served with basmati rice. So tangy and sweet. Love this one! Add some hummus, whipped feta or warm eggplant dip while you wait for dinner.

I must say I have to echo her review, as we were blown away by the flavors. The restaurant was packed, and the decor was fancy but comfortable. One look at the interior and clientele already convinced me this place would be authentic. We opted to try 2 different combos, the Kasra and seafood combo, so we could share and try a bit of everything. It's hard to pick a favorite, all the proteins were flavorful and tender. The rice was a whole talking point just by itself. I often get bored with plain old white rice, so I'm glad Kasra seasons their rice well. The portions were very generous as well, they left me full after cleaning up that whole plate. This was an excellent introduction to Persian cuisine for me, we got lucky that we chose a place that would leave a great first impression!

We had a larger party & ended up getting the family platter to split. We also got sides of the hummus and garlic sauce. Their hummus was really delicious! Definitely a standout. All the different kebabs on the family platter were yummy. I liked the chicken kubideh kebab the best! It was nice and juicy w/ good flavor. 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. Also - there's a parking garage in the middle of rice village with 2hrs free parking. Definitly recommend that as well because street parking can be hard to find

I had read through Yelp that people could stand around outside waiting for a long time to get in…read moreduring peak hours because the food is so good. 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.

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. Loved it all. The restaurant was packed, but there was still plenty of seating and we found a nice quiet area to enjoy our meal. It's always a great experience at Fadi's Meyerland.

It did get a little hot after a while, but there was a slight breeze. I'm closer to Abdallah's, which is also Lebanese, but I'm happy I tried it. Of all the times driving down Washington Ave. I haven't noticed it. Probably because Laurenzo's next door has a huge, bright and green neon sign. It was pretty empty on a Sunday night after watching a few NFL games nearby with friends. We shared the mixed grill platter for two to try a variety of their meatsof. It came with 2 sides, so we chose French fries and baba ganoush. I love potatoes and eggplant. We enjoyed both sides. The baba ganoush was great paired with the warm pita. I like that they give you a basket with a good amount of smaller ones rather than one large pita. The platter also came with a side of rice. It was standard, nothing fancy but good with the meats. We preferred the chicken and pork tenderloin over the kafta, which they gave 2 of. I liked the garlicky toum sauce they had and the roasted onions, tomatoes and jalapeño.
