    Beef Shawarma Wrap
    John W.

    I had a good experience at Zara's Mediterranean kitchen. The food was really amazing, but it was a little expensive. I was very impressed with the food at Zara's. I got the beef shawarma & it was delicious. I thought the flavor was really good & the meat was very tender. The garlic sauce was good too. We also tried the Zara sambosa which was just ok. Vibe was ok inside. It was just a big space with a lot of tables. Parking was good & service was good. I was surprised with the prices. I felt with the portion sizes especially I left a bit hungry & spent more than I expected.

    Greek Feta Salad

    I ordered this Greek salad through DoorDash. It was pretty good overall, however I wish it came with more dressing. I made my own dressing at home to add to it. Other than that, the ingredients were fresh and the overall flavor was really good.

    Beef Shish Kebab absolutely delicious
    Kimmy R.

    Fabulous experience ordering DoorDash. I could not believe they gave me 4 large pita bread halves for one kebab plate. Roasted red pepper dip was fresh and delicious and perfectly garnished. The Greek salad was also so fresh. The garlic sauce was to die for. The meat was mouthwatering!!!! I will definitely be ordering again. Probably the best Mediterranean food I've ever had!

    We visited Zara's for a weeknight family dinner a couple of weeks ago. When you walk in you can tell the restaurant ambiance is relaxing and you can tell the establishment is very clean. The service was excellent and the waiter took great care in explaining menu options, giving recommendations and ensuring my gluten allergy was accommodated. All of our food was delicious, we will definitely be back!

    Nice restaurant , music was a little loud, but nothing that interfered with conversation. Food was excellent. We had three different types of hummus. Euro meat with what appeared to be fresh pita bread, it was still hot! Service was a little slow, but nothing to be concerned about.

    The food is great! Everything that we ordered is all on point. The traditional hummus, fried kibbeh, beef and lamb shish kabob and even the swamarma lover platters are good. The server is attentive and friendly.

    Ordering food delivery is always a crapshoot. You read the reviews knowing sit in service is often different from to go or delivery service, but you take the chance. The lamb chops were a bit fatty and overcooked, but flavorful. They also were not as meaty as those pictured by eat-in diners. The rice was a bit dry. The salad was good, but thankfully I had my own utensils, as the requested utensils and napkins were not included. As they were delivering to a hotel, that should have been double checked. I really wanted to love this meal after all the glowing reviews. If in the area again, I'd try dining in to see if I can experience what the other reviewers have. I just can't recommend them for delivery. Not today.

    The food was flavorful and exactly what i was craving. The soft, warm pita bread with my hummus really hit the spot. The meats were seasoned well, but I wish the chicken was a little , but it was seasoned well. We were promptly greeted and seated upon walking in, and our orders taken shortly after. Our waiter was very nice and helpful with answering our questions regarding the different menu items. The atmosphere was casual with a with a unique and colorful Mediterranean flare. Can't wait to try this place a second time.

    Salmon
    Yunus L.

    We have been here 4 -5 times and I love the interiors and the back ground very attractive. Another plus is to have a prayer area in here. I would take this review today as an opportunity for the restaurant to improve on the taste of their food. We ordered the lentil soup which was ok but needed some salt and we could add it and they did bring us the salt and pepper. We also ordered the Salmon which was not as juicy as usual and the chicken kubeidah were really not good. It was so much like a leather texture and can not even break it. Very dry and I can say I have never had such terrible preparation. Salmon I understand is usually dry at most places but they used to have a very flavorful and moist ones before.. but even that was not he best and I could accept that.. but the chicken kubeidah needs some major changes in the preparation or maybe it was just too old...

Actually, they have a good size menu and have some American options along with juices and smoothies so It made ordering easy. They also have a full bar with several cocktails and mocktails. Inside right when you enter is the actual bar with about 6 seats which were full with customers during my entire visit. Their happy hour ends at 6pm, but I arrived at 7pm so I ended up missing the discounted drinks. I ordered the cod and shrimp pita which ended up being slightly different than the regular gyro. I had to set it down after a couple of bites since the wheat pita bread is much thinner than regular pita bread and it kept falling apart on me. I also added a mango mojito. With a name like Island Grill, I sort of expected to see more tropical drinks or rum-based cocktails show up on the menu, but this was about the only one. Overall, my experience was okay, but I don't know if it was good enough for me to return.

I placed the order on short notice, yet he delivered big results. The meats were incredibly tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The hummus deserves a special mention, it was one of the best I've ever had, and that says a lot coming from someone who is Middle Eastern. Both kids and adults loved the food, and we received so many compliments throughout the night. This was more than just catering, it felt personal, generous, and made with care. Ordering from Ta'bleyah will now be a tradition for us every New Year's Eve. Highly, highly recommend!

Brisket slices and pita bread. Some of the dishes are spicy like the spicy hummus, spicy chicken dish, and their hot sauce. Some of the compartments were not all that hot, like the butter chicken, the day I visited. It was bland anyway, very different than the Indian version, so I don't think heat would have helped much. At the end was dessert time. They have about 5 desserts. I tried the roll with lots of peanuts, the baklava, the sweet bread and the flan. I have to say I liked the baklava the best as I figured I would. Service was friendly though.

This is the case with Lama Mediterranean Cuisine in The Woodlands. My wife had a doctor's appointment at 2 pm and we live about 35 miles away, I figured go early and get some lunch and then get to the doctor with a full stomach. We put the address into the GPS and pulled right up in front of the restaurant. While it was nice weather outside, we decided to sit indoors and I am glad we did because I noticed some diners outdoors were batting away insects. Our server, Abraham came quickly and took our drink orders while we studied the menu and admired the beautifully decorated interior of the restaurant. Blue is a strong color they have used effectively, there is a large dinging room for a big group just off the main dining room and a bar at the far west end. We ordered some appetizers and they came out quickly, We had a small order (4 pieces) of the Fried Hallumi Cheese and also Kebbeh. Both came with a small sampling of cucumber, tomato and red onion which paired well. The Kebbeh had the most fragrant seasoning, I believe a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and clove. The serving sizes were ample and after trying some we both agreed to save room for the entrees we ordered, my wife had the Gyro Sandwich and I had the Chicken Shawerma, both were wrapped in a super fresh pita that had to be house made. My wife had the regular fries and I had sweet potato which were cooked perfectly, so light and crisp. We couldn't resist ordering some baklava to go, my wife thought walnut sounded good but our server said he felt the cashew was the best so we ordered that. When he brought it out, he said that there were 2 pieces of the cashew but he also added one of walnut at no charge, what a treat. We will be coming back here, the restaurant overall was super fresh and clean, service was great and the food was fantastic.

Inside is elegant and well decorated with glass tables and large rugs everywhere. Looking at the menu, it's a mix of various cuisines, but they do separate out the Persian dishes which are somewhat similar to Mediterranean ones just cost a little more and have different spices altogether. If you visit on weekend nights, you'll likely get to see belly dancing here. I settled on the chicken shawarma wrap, even though it costs a few dollars more than the chicken pita. It does come with one side for $21,and I chose French fries. It tasted pretty good, but you do have to get used to the pickles which gives the wrap an overall weird taste. These are not your typical pickles which go well with American fried chicken sandwiches. A Mexican tortilla is used as a wrap here instead of the bread they use for wraps in other Mediterranean restaurants in Houston. If I wanted a chicken burrito, i would have dined at a Mexican restaurant. The fries are previously frozen ones and lightly seasoned and really only decent when hot. Unfortunately this is one of those restaurants which takes care of newly seated guests and large parties but ignores the tables of 1. Not my fault I only have one in my party. They seated me in the corner and another gentleman came about 20 mins after me and I never saw a waitress go to his table after being served his entree either. The chef or kitchen hand is the one who brings out the entree from the kitchen here and my waitress never showed up until they try to take your plate away. However, I was still eating and also waiting for 10 mins on a refill. I can only eat so much before needing to take a sip of a liquid...but if you come with a party of one here..you will likely be waiting awhile. The lady taking my plate wasn't even my waitress either. Meanwhile, for the gentleman sitting outside alone, I observed his drink to be empty a while and they weren't refilling his either. He finally leaves and goes to a cash register to pay. What? A semi-fine dining elegant spot with mandolin playing in the background has a cash register where you have to go up to pay? What is this world coming to? With these prices, they should roll out red carpet from the front door to your table each time you walk in....and surely make the waitress do something for once and take your card and swipe it herself at the cash register which shouldn't be in the middle of the damn room. Sort of defeats the purpose of being elegant. Did I mention the glasses are plastic here too. If they want to be refined, try at least using glasses for drinks.

It absolutely was. The food and service were outstanding. They were out of doner when we arrived, but honestly, everything else we tried more than made up for it. Within about 10 minutes, the restaurant was pretty packed, so we clearly just arrived at the perfect time. We started with a bread basket served with fresh breads and an incredible tomato oil--simple, bold, and completely addictive. We had falafel with a creamy sauce (possibly yogurt or garlic-based) and stuffed grape leaves with olive oil, both beautifully done. Every dish came with fresh lettuce, lemon, thinly sliced onions that had clearly been soaked to remove the harsh bite, and a bright pickled cabbage that tied everything together perfectly. We also had lahmacun, which was deeply flavorful and incredibly satisfying. We were treated to complimentary Turkish tea and a meatless dish on the house, and I have to say--if you don't eat meat, you are not missing out on flavor at all. I grew up a meat eater, so I was genuinely surprised by how rich and delicious it was. I only wish I remembered the name so I could order it again. And then dessert... kunefe. Crispy shredded pastry, warm cheese, pistachios--easily one of the top 10 dishes I've ever eaten in my life. I usually hate mint in food, but two of the dishes included it and completely changed my mind--fresh, balanced, and done right.
