And I have quite a healthy appetite for reference. Everything in this bowl was amazing: chicken is perfectly seasoned and not fatty, rice is perfectly cooked and flavorful, fresh vegetables and delicious garlic sauce, that wasn't heavy on garlic at all (my preference). My second item was beef shawarma wrap with extra pickles. It was absolutely delicious! I didn't think I was gonna be able to finish it in one sitting because it was big, but I couldn't stop biting into that scrumptious goodness. The meat was plentiful and lean and everything tasted fresh and perfectly seasoned. It was probably one of the best shawarma wraps I've had in years! I will for sure be ordering from this restaurant again. Amazing experience! Keep it up, guys!

Unfortunately the recent parking situation is subpar; the lot across the street charges a toll now and street parking in this area is tricky. The interior has an area for ordering up front and the cooking is done right behind the counter. There are a few small tables for dining in; there were a lot of takeout orders. We tried some popular appetizers; hummus, kibbeh; falafels, and cauliflower. I got the gyro meat for the entree. Overall, the flavors and portions were average; nothing was spectacular in either direction and most of the dishes came out as you've probably expected or tried before if you've had Mediterranean style food. The kibbeh was probably the tastiest thing tried. The hummus was fine, the falafel was fine if not slightly dry, and the gyro meat was fine as well.

Since moving to the Houston area, Al's has been on my list for a casual night of good food. After a…read morenight out, I was looking for a spot nearby and saw it was less than 10 minutes away. Al's is a convenience store with a solid counter option for a meal. Parking is easy: they've got a couple of reserved spots out front plus a shared lot across the street you can pay for. Inside, there's a good amount of seating, with tables that fit up to four people. We ordered the gyro quesadilla, the half-and-half plate, and two gyro sandwiches with a side of fries. The gyro meat was definitely the star compared to the chicken shawarma, so naturally the quesadilla and sandwiches became our favorites. Surprisingly though, the quesadilla was the standout- the gooey cheese with the gyro was absolute perfection. The chicken shawarma was unfortunately extremely dry. Prices are decent, and the garlic sauce paired well with everything. I just wish we had gotten more than one, since all the other sauces were tzatziki.

The space is open and very spacious with many tables. However, the ordering counter set up is a…read morelittle unique. They have two counters. One for ordering main dishes like bowls, salads, and sandwiches while the other counter is for coffee, crepes, desserts, and pastries. The lady behind the main counter was very friendly and helpful. Despite being the only one there, she took her time and helped explained the menu. I really like the concept and how there's a Create Your Own Bowl or Salad menu option. My lunch date ordered the Casablanca bowl which consisted of roasted lamb and said the lamb was a little on the dry side with an overly gamey taste and would not recommend it. I ordered a Create Your Own Bow ($12.95) with Saffron Jasmine rice, and 6 veggie choices: fava bean hummus, cucumber tomato, sweet potato, lentils, roasted cauliflower, egg potato salad, and for an additional $3.50, the Potato cakes. The Potato cakes had a very soft and almost mushy inside texture. I didn't mind and thought it was good with the Harissa Aioli sauce. However, my veggie options were on the bland side so I had to purchase additional sauce for my bowl. I wish the menu allowed for 7 options instead of 6 since the scoops are very small. When I went over to the other counter for some cookies and gelato, the staff there were too busy talking to each other to help. When I asked for help, they didn't seem too keen on it so I skipped dessert and left. The concept is great, the casual decorative ambiance is fantastic, and the food is pretty good. However, the customer service is hit or miss. Note: There's a few two-top tables for outdoor seating. Also, parking in the front is very limited and can be a hectic during peak hours.

Service is always good and they have mint water self serve as well as bottled drinks. The patio spans both Zoa and connecting CoCo Crepes. The vibe inside is chill. After an awesome bowl, get a scoop of gelato from those nice folks.

Just the customer service alone was great. I would have taken pics, but i did not want anyone to feel uncomfortable from my pics. Anywho, the reason for the 4 stars, I had hair in my pita chips.

I really enjoyed the smoothie and the staff are friendly and provide great service, bringing out the food and asking if we need anything else. The restaurant is clean and there's no tables left dirty for long periods of time if a guest was sitting there. I'd definitely come back at a later time for lunch or dinner cause I think this would be a great sunday brunch place to enjoy with friends.

I will say the naan bread didn't taste too authentic, I'm not sure if that's maid there. Maybe it came out of a bag I don't know, but that one was a little bit different.

It's a small space with a register and seats to wait for your order or you can wait in your car. Food: 4/5 Chicken Tikka Masala it was creamy and velvety, I'm not a big fan of tomato but know is a core part of it, which I did distinguish the taste in this order that I haven't usually tasted in others. The garlic naan had good flavor however it was a bit tough and crunchy when biting into it. Which wasn't my favorite, but got the job done to dip into the sauce.

Honestly, every dish we've ever tried here has been fantastic--it hits exactly the right spots. The Flavor Profile: A quick heads-up for those seeking "authentic" traditional Chinese--this isn't it. This is the Indianized version of Chinese food (Indo-Chinese), so prepare for bold spices and a serious kick. If you grew up loving those specific flavors, Monk's is the gold standard. The Verdict: The heat is on point, the portions are great, and the flavors are nostalgic and bold. It's the kind of meal we look forward to all the way down I-10. Truly a gem for anyone who appreciates the spicy, savory fusion of Desi Chinese!
