I can't wait to go back! I've found a new favorite. Checked out this restaurant over lunch with a friend, we only had an hour and this place was efficient and has great food to boot! It's not a large place, located in a strip mall, but there's plenty of seating for a fast moving lunch crowd. You walk in and instantly see a menu, and order at the counter. There's premade wraps and bowls to choose from, where you pick the protein and can add extra toppings at a cost. Or you can make your own custom bowl or wrap. Since it was my first time I decided not to be cute and stuck with a premade wrap- the Caesar Crunch, with Saffron chicken. I LOVED IT. There's so much flavor, but nothing overpowering the other spices. And the pita crisps and fries inside the wrap just take this to the next level! My friend got a custom bowl, and had saffron rice with a saffron kabob, and said it was too much saffron ha! Lessons were learned! They also have a smattering of free sauces one can try, and I love me some sauces. I can't wait to be back and try more wraps! read more

Not So Freaky Clean Restrooms! OMG, the last time not so long ago the restrooms were so clean. There are two restrooms both unisex. They have now placed mats on the floors to absorb urine for those who cannot or will do not direct their excrement into the total. NOTHING COULD BE MORE DISGUSTING THAN TO HAVE TO STEP OR STAND IN SOMES URINE. read more

(3.5 stars) I came here for a Yelp event and wanted to give it a try on my own dime. I got the bowl with chicken shawarma. It was decent but I found the variety a bit lacking and the portion a bit small for $14. With Zoa nearby, I'd likely go there instead. I did taste the wraps and they were pretty good and may actually be more worth it than the bowl. read more

The Kebab Shop - Mediterranean Near Me - Houston, Texas

The Kebab Shop (TKS) is my new favorite lunch spot! I would definitely eat there for dinner, but it is more convenient for lunch for me. This was my second visit. First time I tried the sirloin wrap, it's huge and best to share! This visit I ordered the chicken schwarma and asked them to split the wrap into two. Also got a order of crave fries. Everything was delicious! I love their OJ sauce, the jalepeno cilantro sauce, and liked the dill yogurt. Dill yogurt was more watery than the others. The sauces are ready for self-serve which is nice so you don't have to go ask for more sauce in between bites! TKS is located by Whole Foods on Bellaire Blvd at Weslayan. It's a busy parking lot during the lunch hour, but easy to find a parking spot. The staff has been nice and the manager answered all of our questions! The music is energetic and they have music playlists on spotify. read more

This is a case of a place where the food may be excellent, but the lackluster service and lack of interest from the employees can really take the entire experience down a notch. I've been here three times, twice for dine in on lunch breaks and once for take out. The dine in experiences were okay. It takes forever for someone to come up and take your order because they clearly want you to use the little tablet device, which isn't the best customer service experience. The food is also much slower to prepare than at similar places like Gyro Republic despite little discernable difference between the preparation methods. In fact, GR is faster than TKS despite having more modification options. The food, however, is solid. I do recommend the grains bowl, with starts with a base of either saffron or brown rice and you build from there, kind of like a Mediterranean version of Chipotle. I had planned on giving this place 3 stars until my last visit, which was take out. I was grabbing sauces and their Fire sauce just exploded when I pressed the button, splattering all over my dress shirt, suit pants, hands, and a bit of it got on my face as well. I walked over to talk to the guy at the register. He panicked and ran to get someone else. The lady who came out issued an apology in a tone that sounded like "You already placed your order so I couldn't care less." She half heartedly offered to do something to help. I suggested a discount either on this meal or a future meal to make up for the extra trip and cost I'd have to make to the dry cleaner for patronizing her business. Even just $5. She declined, telling me that it would need to go up to her "regional manager" for that to happen. I asked what she could do. She claimed nothing. I pointed out that she had just offered to do something to make things right, then claimed she couldn't do anything. She offered to comp me a drink or a brownie, neither of which I wanted nor could I use to compensate a dry cleaner. I accepted the brownie and walked out because from her demeanor, it was apparent that they were not going to contact the district manager. read more

This location is really not the best in my opinion. It s hard to find parking and while the staff was friendly, it wasn't that clean. I got the kebab wrap and I was shocked that it was $20 without a side of fries. The wrap itself was okay. I wish the toppings were better distributed throughout the wrap so that you can get everything in the same bite. I might try the company again but not this location. read more

One of the offerings at The Kebab Shop is what is called a protein bowl, which has 47 g of protein and 450 cal (so it is designed for a 2000 cal per day diet). As we all know if you take in less calories then you burn, overtime, you will probably lose weight. So the protein bowl appears to be a very good option for anyone. It is a build your own kind of walk in fast casual place. I opted for the salad bowl with the carved llamb/beef (done dōner kebab style on a vertical spit). With all the toppings. Although the price point, if you go full Monty, might result in a $19 lunch, I was impressed by the quality of the lunch. And I could absolutely get at least two meals, maybe even 3. I REALLY liked this salad bowl option. read more

Food was great, service was fast. Awesome crew in the front.Pasion was very friendly and great at suggesting food combinations.

Interesting place and concept. You can either order a bowl a wrap or a plate. They have lamb, chicken, and falafel. There's a choice of pre made flavors or you can build your own. I ordered a pre determined ingredient bowl. Positives they are large in size. How of the ever. It tasted just okay. There is a side area that offers condiments to dress your food entree with. The bowl was just okay. There was a bitter taste to it and the falafel was kind of dry. It was not my fave bowl experience. But I might try them again to try oit a wrap perhaps. read more

Ordered for delivery twice. Both times I had no issues. I ordered right from the website and the food came very quickly. The OG wrap with the fries in it has to be my favorite thing on the menu. Who even thought to add fries to something that's already great. So of course the second time I ordered the OG Salad and I love them both. I've been in the store and they're all super friendly and helpful. This is probably one of my to go to places for lunch. read more

Thankfully it wasn't super busy when I went in. Sahar, who was at the register, helped me with any questions I had and even gave me some suggestions on what to put for my toppings! The bowl was SO good, as I was able to do half grains & half salad bowl with the kofta and whatever toppings I wanted. I love how tasty it is without feeling heavy. So grateful to have had this opportunity to experience this place again. read more

I've had this place bookmarked for a while now, especially since I missed the Elite Week back in November while I was out of the country. Jillian C. and I decided to check this out for a weekday lunch. They had a steady flow of people coming in during the lunch hour which kept the atmosphere busy; while not crowded, we were also not the only ones dining in thankfully. I had trouble finding the Yelp listing to check in because apparently they've rebranded themselves from "The Kebab Shop" to now "TKS Mediterranean." Not sure when or why that happened. The menu is straightforward to navigate. You can choose between a wrap, a bowl, or a plate. I ordered the original bowl ($12.70) with carved lamb beef ($1.90 extra) as the protein and saffron rice and fries (pick up to 2) as the base. The bowl comes with their OG yogurt sauce, red cabbage slaw, romaine lettuce, pickled onions, tomatoes, and cucumbers. The bowl itself was really tasty and the portion was generous. So generous that it was flowing out of the bowl and as I stirred it around, bits were falling out. I do wish they had a slightly bigger bowl to avoid this, but maybe they're going for the visual satisfaction of an overflowing bowl. The staff at the counter was very friendly and offered to explain the menu to us with this being our first time in. They have a counter of self-serve sauces: OG yogurt, fire chili, and cilantro jalapeno. I took a small cup of each and taste-tested them - my favorite was the cilantro jalapeño hands down! Unfortunately the sauce dispenser for this one wasn't working right. I let the staff know and they immediately brought us a bunch of prepackaged cups of this sauce. Win! I will say the $12.70 pricing on the bowls is slightly misleading, since only the carved chicken and falafel come out to that price; all the other protein options are extra. Kids also eat free on Saturdays and Sundays! Not common to see a deal like that on the weekends. I'll be back to try their wraps and plates, as this is a really good fast casual concept that's a good addition to the Bellaire area. read more

Food is delicious and staff is very informative. Service is great and they mentioned all their specials even Elite Yelp event. I didn't realize that I would be in town for this event. Plenty of parking available and dog friendly on the patio. Dipping are fiesta and only a true spicy fans would go for seconds. We went for seconds. Atmosphere is relaxing even with people stopping by for for the meals. There is a grocery store, nail salon, and even a clothing boutique store. Even bumped into some of Elite Yelp peeps! Look forward to next time. read more

Yoooo easily beating other similar restaurants out the door. Honestly the portion sizing for protein in my Saffron Beef Kofta bowl was impressive! I felt like I had a proper portion that went well with everything put together. I also got the hummus and pita, and the manager/owner was so kind to offer some falafel and fries w/ feta and pickled onions to try. Delicious! I was blown away at how not dripping of liquid (i seem to get runny dishes over at Cava alot somehow). The sauces at the sauce bar really stood out for me. They each had really unique flavors and was sooooooo rich. A little goes a super long way. I tend to avoid falafel in alot of places since i find them to be made super dry... but here? Man it felt like love was poured into them. The hummus portion was yuuuuge! Tho i have to admit, I should have ordered an extra pita bread cause the portion was a lot. I did wish that some olive oil was poured into the hummus but im not gonna complain, it was really flavorful. Service was super fast, food was extremely delicious, portion sizing is great for the cost, staff are extremely kind and patient. Def adding to my favorites list. I'll be back sooner than later read more

Food - the lamb was tasty, the wrap was great and the fries were perfectly crispy. No complaints about the food. Location - It was clean and the staff were friendly. 2 stars you may ask? Well let's start with the fact that I ordered lamb ( which is an up charge ) but instead I got a salad sandwich/wrap. I asked for just a lil bit of lettuce, none of the extra veggies but that was not the case. I've never had a gyro/sandwich/wrap w.e it may be called with such little meat before in my life. Not to mention this came out to 47 dollars for two wraps, 2 fountain drinks and a side of fries. I was very hyped about trying this and I left there very disappointed. It's the 1st place I've eaten since moving to Texas where they are skimpy with their food. No lie, most places out here load up their dishes, regardless of what you get. I can't imagine a family going out to eat here and their pockets not hurting, I mean if you rich than you got it but for anyone else, be mindful. It has potential but it was not worth the 45 minute drive or the amount of money it came out too. It's a shame, I really wanted to give this spot a good review but this was my honest opinion on how my food experience was today. read more

It was kismet coming here. My friend was checking a home to possibly rent nearby, and just before we went we stopped by Whole Foods which is in the same lot. He had a craving for a gyro, so I started looking up places on Yelp. While at the parking lot, I looked to my left and saw The Kebab Shop. I decided to look them up and realized this was the exact same place I wanted to try because there was going to be a Yelp Elite Experience here. So after we looked at the house and Evelyn's Park nearby, we came back for dinner. I like the extra parking since it's in the same shopping center as Whole Foods. It wasn't busy inside, but a few more customers came in after us to either dine in or order takeout. There's plenty of seating outside and inside. Luis took our order and was very helpful and attentive. And a nice lady with pinkish red hair. The whole crew that was there Tuesday night (10/22) was so nice. 100% on customer service. We felt so welcome throughout. Restrooms are gender neutral and clean. Hand driers to save trees. There's bottled beverages where you order, but you can also get a fountain drink. There's plenty of options for a wrap or bowl. Lots of fillings/sides to choose from. The ingredients tasted fresh. There are 3 homemade sauces - OG (garlic yogurt), fire chili, and cilantro jalapeño. My wrap came with the OG yogurt, but I appreciate the extra sauce pumps and cups with lids (for takeout). I'm a fan of Coca Cola products, so I'm happy the fountain drinks are that. I got a Coke. The water that's mixed in with the syrup isn't as tasty though. Tasted like tap. I enjoyed my falafel wrap. Their wraps are like a foot long sandwich. At first I thought that there weren't enough falafels when I took my first bite, but that was because it slid down. The wraps are wrapped like a handheld with the foil at the bottom, which is nice to eat. The wrap is thin but so good. I like the charred edges. The whole wrap was filling. I was satisfied. I ordered a side of fries but thought that was mediocre. I was expecting fat fries than the shoestring. It also isn't seasoned. I'm used to most Mediterranean places having a garlic salt paprika seasoning or something. I think that would elevate it, esp when you can add fries as an added topping in your wrap. We would definitely come back here. I'd like to try their bowl and either lamb or beef next time. You can also earn rewards for items ordered - just need to add your phone number. read more

Stopped by while I was in the neighborhood. When my friend and I walked in, it wasn't too busy. By the time we were leaving a larger group had come in. They seemed to have handle it quickly. The fries were nice and crisp. The chicken was tender with a good flavor. We of course tried each of the sauces. The jalapeño cilantro sauce was my favorite. It was so tasty. I kept eating fries just for that. The saffron rice could have used a bit more flavor. The truffle brown rice was the better choice. Overall though everything seemed fairly fresh. The cucumbers and tomato mix maybe not so much. read more

After seeing a TikTok on this place, I have been waiting for the opportunity to visit! I got a wrap with beef kofta. Also got a side of fries - loved the feta, sauce and the fries were well seasoned but a little heavy on the picked onions. Ended up picking most of them off. My wrap tasted great but really left me wanting more especially seeing that tiktok video. For 2 wraps, fries and 2 drinks cost us nearly $50. The cost alone is a major deterrent as the wraps were seriously lacking in protein. There was one kebab in my wrap so every other bite was just veggies. I love my veggies but since pretty much everything is up charged, it's kind of disappointing to feel there is little value. And by the other reviews it always seems to be "a prep issue" that has yet to be resolved. read more

We love great kebabs and shawarmas, so hearing this place open up minutes from us was exciting. They had a couple of tables outside, so we were able to bring our pup with us. We ordered a couple of the Super Duper wraps - one with falafel and one with lamb-beef. We waited an incredibly long time after ordering for the food - which was frustrating. I can chalk this up to early days. The food itself was pretty average. The falafel was pretty dry, and we could barely tell if there were actually fries in the wrap. The meat wasn't much better either. They do have sauces you can add to the wraps, but they unfortunately didn't help too much. Overall a disappointing experience. read more

Fast and easy. Food came out quick, your order is customizable and portions are generous. We added on fries to our bowl for only $1 more and it was a good choice. You get to try a little of everything which is great. This is a great go to meal! We ate in the restaurant and you can grab your own sauces to try. read more

Amazing food! I came on a Sunday around 1:30 PM and beat the line so service and cook time was quick! I ordered a pretty basic bowl with saffron rice, beef kofta, feta cheese, grilled veggies and pita crumbles. While the picture does not do my food justice, this bowl was delicious. This was my first time trying beef kofta and it for sure won't be my last. It was made to order and it was tender, juicy, seasoned and charred. So tasty and i'm glad I tried it! The rice was good and I liked the feta cheese but I wasn't a fan of the grilled veggies, I believe they could've been cooked longer. As for the pita crumbles, I also could've went without as it didn't serve much purpose in my bowl. I would prefer pita chips. My only complaint honestly is that on my next visit i'd ask them if they could put my toppings in one spot around the bowl rather than sprinkled all over the bowl. Besides all that, the beef was so good nothing else mattered. I really loved that they have self serve sauces!! I don't know any other mediterranean place doing that. The sauces were delicious and flavorful too! I will definitely be returning and can't wait to try the different proteins offered and maybe even a wrap next time!! read more

Our son tried this place and loved it. We tried it and loved it.

The youngest daughter decided to treat Mom and Dad with dinner. We were in the mood for Mediterranean foods and decided to try this relatively new place. Daughter ordered chicken Shawarma wrap, falafel wrap, signature fries, and lamb beef bowl on line for pick up. Our food were ready after our arrival. There was a sauce station where we loaded up on free garlic sauce. There was two other sauces as well. The wraps were hugh, but each wrap used flour tortilla instead of pita bread. The tortilla couldn't hold all the fillings in place and fell apart easily. We preferred the traditional pita bread. Bothe the chicken Shawarma and falafel versions tasted great with plenty of protein. The lamb beef bowl was also tasty. The lamb beef was tender and seasoned well. Employees were friendly. The prices were appropriate. Plenty of parking in this strip center location. Overall we were pleased and definitely will return. read more

I made a great choice when I walked out of Whole Foods today, and decided to stop right next door at TKS (The Kebab Shop). I had always wanted to try this place and today was as good as time as any, what a great choice I made. This place always seems to have a steady stream of customers each time I pass by it and I can see why. It was now my turn! As soon as I walked in the door I was met with a hello and a smile. Shout out to Sahar who helped me figure out the "lay of the land" when it came to the menu and what my choices were - she was patient, kind, and gracious. Thank you, Sahar, you're amazing (Go Coogs)! The restaurant is brightly lit with a good amount of seating inside and out. A build-your-own menu concept that can be prepared for you in your choice of wraps, bowls, our salads. I selected a bowl with a base of Saffron rice and grilled chicken as my protein. The chicken was tender and tasty and seasoned just right. I had never had their food before now and I didn't think I'd like Greek yogurt as a topping, but my mind has changed and my tastebuds are happy, it was refreshing and delicious. The whole bowl was filling, absolutely yummy, and at a reasonable price - just under $16. If you're watching your weight the food here will keep you in line with your calorie counts for the day. This place not only serves good and healthier food options, but music you can KEBAB your head to...get it? Lol. Curated by the TKS team, it was a cool mix of classic tunes and greatest hits. You can also download the music list to listen to as well. Pretty cool! It goes without saying that I'll be back again. Check it out if you've never been here before, you won't be disappointed. Enjoy! Bon apetite! read more

I will miss Island Grill, but that said, TKS is a great replacement for this space and part of town. Food is good, good portions, good variety, self serve sauce (the fire chili is good - a kick, but flavorful), and a good value for what you get. Kids eat free on weekends, but even then it's still cost effective and comes with a drink. I really like the chicken here, it stays moist even in the vertical rotisserie thing. The two times we've been, the staff has been friendly and attentive at tables despite being a counter service place. All in all, good value, quick and easy, and tasty. read more

So I've been coming here for about 2 months now, I've tried their steak, lamb, chicken and mixed shawarmas some with fries in them and some without, The Kebab Shop was my entry shawarma drug, since then I've also tried shawarma all over the Southwest Houston area to see if I could get a better high but no, the other places don't even come close, the other places produce skimpy, sad, overhyped and extremely overpriced pathetic excuses for shawarma, don't take me wrong, these are also pricey but at least I feel satisfied finishing off one of these with their delicious house made sauces "all of them" you can't go wrong with any of the protein options but the steak is my fav, the music selection sucks balls so my kids and I eat outside, I really wish they played something authentic instead of the witlessness that they listen to, I'd retrain some of the staff or find someone friendly, helpful and enthusiastic to run the register, the cook seems to be proud of the masterpieces of shawarma he produces, I'd give him a raise because he's been consistently pumping these beauties out!
