    It's hard to find good Halal spots in the Heights until a friend of mine told me about Big Bite Shawarma over on Washington Avenue. Tried out their Beef/Chicken Shawarma over Rice and it made my day!!! And Hani over here wants to make sure you're in good hands. Please go support them if you need a good dinner or late night spot. You won't be disappointed.

    Chicken Shawarma Wrap

    We got the chicken shawarma sandwich and it was flavorful!! One of the best shawarmas I've had since they closed House of Kabob. I usually get extra sauce but this one was perfect. The bread isn't a thick pita bread, so I don't feel overly served on the bread. Hefty amount of chicken and pickles The only downside is that they're not open during lunch Service has been great every time I've come here. And just an FYI, The parking is free if you're just picking up food, I didn't know that.

    Very delicious Halal food. The rice and chicken are my favorite. The employees are very nice and attentive. The portions are enough for two, but I won't share, lol. Go check them out. You won't be disappointed.

    Dessert menu. Coconut lovers rejoice. This was so decedent! A must try!

    The bas boussa is delicious. A must have dessert, especially if you enjoy coconut! I loved it and will be ordering again. We ordered the gyro over rice and mix over rice which has both lamb and chicken. Everything was seasoned to perfection and the flavors are explosive! We randomly found Big Bite while looking for a place open late. This is the spot for excellent halal food! We met the owner and the customer service was superb. P.S order the hummus! It's made from scratch and it's divine! My friends and I are definitely coming back!!

    I found them on yelp and was initially going to get the wrap with fries, but he let me sample the chicken w/ rice. The rice is well seasoned and chicken flavorful. He's usually at the same spot by the bars, so if you're interested in a chicken and rice dish, I'd definitely recommend it, as he gives plenty of food for a great price.

    Gyro and Chicken Schwarma wrap are amazing. Food was hot. Sauce was delicious. Definitely check out.

    Highly recommend!! The owner was so friendly and helped us figure out exactly what we wanted to order. He even gave us free samples of his delicious rice. It was such a great experience and the food was delicious!

    The brisket was hands down the star of the meal, it literally melted in my mouth. It was so tender…read moreI could pull it apart with just my fork. Easily some of the best brisket I've ever had. They had run out of beef ribs, so we ended up getting the pork chop instead, and it was really good! The mac and cheese with bacon was rich, cheesy, and delicious. The potato salad was a huge surprise, I'm usually not a potato salad person, but this one was a solid 10/10. The only thing I wouldn't recommend was this French-style side (it looked like a giant turd ). It was a 0/10 for me. I took one bite and couldn't eat the rest. The peach cobbler was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it didn't really wow me compared to everything else. Overall, the food was incredible, especially the brisket. I'll definitely be coming back. 10/10, highly recommend!

We also got the beef ribs, which were good but a bit salty, and a mix of the lean and fatty brisket -I definitely preferred the lean cut since it was already super juicy. The potato salad was hearty and good. Slicing the brisket! The workers were all so friendly!

    This was our third visit to Makiin Thai, and somehow it gets better every time…read more My husband and I came for a date night, and from the moment we walked in, the ambiance set the tone for a great evening. The space is beautiful, inviting, and perfect for a night out. The food was exceptional. Every dish was packed with flavor and beautifully presented. Our favorites were the Appetizer Symphony, the Crispy Turmeric Whole Fish, and the Tom Yum Soup. The fish was perfectly cooked and crispy, and the soup had the perfect balance of spice and flavor. finally with the Whimsical Chocolate Tree . What keeps us coming back is not only the food but the consistency. Great service, amazing atmosphere, and dishes that never disappoint. If you're looking for an elevated Thai dining experience in Houston, Makiin Thai is absolutely worth a visit. We'll definitely be back for a fourth time.

    Since my initial review I've been here twice and had a great experience both times…read more Their food is consistent and delicious. Many of their items don't automatically come with spice. I have never tried to customize spice levels here. The beef short ribs in stone dish has been my favorite so far, but at $44 it is a very steep price if you choose tofu instead of beef. Their electronic menu with photos and comments on what can be made vegetarian/vegan is a great idea. I wish more upscale restaurants did this. You can park across the street at the lot for River oaks shopping center garage. It is free for two hours, don't forget to scan to pay.

We tried the turkey, brisket, and jalapeño sausage, and every one of them was delicious. The brisket was especially impressive--moist, incredibly tender, and so soft you didn't even need a knife to cut it. The sides were very good, but the meats were definitely the highlight of the meal. One thing we really appreciated was the toppings bar, which included pickles, onions, pickled onions, jalapeños, and two different barbecue sauces so you could customize each bite. They even had a mini soft-serve ice cream machine for a little dessert after your meal, which was a nice touch. They also offer family meal options, making it a great choice for larger groups. The restaurant was clean, had plenty of seating, and the staff was friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. If you're looking for excellent halal barbecue in the Houston area, Levant is definitely worth a visit!

I'm glad that she did as it was our first time there, and we didn't see all the rooms coming in from the front. She was nice and friendly. She even came and checked up on us during the meal. This is an A-La-Carte, so you wait to be seated, order and pay at the table. 2. Price - Depending on what you may order, a main course meal can range between $28-$100. 3. Ambiance - This place is like a mysterious maze. You also get club vibes in this restaurant. It's a nice place for an expensive date. Dress code here is smart casual. 4.

It's a foodie paradise where the quest for discovery never quite feels finished. What really elevated this visit was the service. Htoo took extraordinary care of us. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the food, but also genuinely sweet, kind and enthusiastic about guiding us through the experience. Humberto, the wine and service manager, was equally impressive and made the evening feel effortless from beginning to end. 4 visits in, Musaafer continues to surprise me, which may be the highest compliment I can give a restaurant. I'm definitely coming back for more.

    Updating my review - still 5 stars, and still a wonderful experience!…read more J and I visited for dinner and had the korma chop with beef and the lamb dumplings. All the servers were prompt and helpful and our food came out quickly. The korma chop was heavenly like last time - so well-flavored and savory! The beef was definitely a good choice. The dumplings were delicious as well - a bit lighter on the flavor but quite filling and paired nicely with the chili oil dipping sauce. The restaurant was about half-filled on a Saturday evening so we had no trouble getting a table. There are plenty of seating options for parties of 2-4 and a few options for larger parties. It is a relaxed location and perfect for a date night, or dinner with family and friends. Shout out to one of the servers who was kind enough to run after us in the parking lot as we left our bag on the table!

This is a nicely sized spot next to the Jusgo plaza in Houston Chinatown, so plenty of parking and also food options. It's tucked in a corner but should not be written off. Its a pretty casual sitdown restaurant and we were welcomed and sat pretty quickly on a Saturday around 8:30PM. We were provided menus and started ordering everything that sounded good (within reason for 2, sorta). We ended up getting the Uyghur polo with lamb shank, Uyghur goshnaan, korma chop, garlic cucumbers, mint tea, and a yogurt for dessert. This was more than enough food for 2 but I wanted to try a bunch and this is me holding back. The Uyghur goshnaan was very crispy and the filling was flavorful and juicy, good lamb flavor and nice spices. The Uyghur polo with lamb shank was great and the pilaf had a nice sweetness with raisins that cut through some of the fatty richness of the lamb. The korma chop was also super flavorful with a nice savory sauce and noodled with an excellent texture, very QQ. I don't usually order cucumbers at Asian restaurants cause I can make a cucumber salad pretty easily at home but the one here was very good. Excellent refreshing crunch and garlic flavor to go with all the other dishes. The mint tea was also nice to wash down the mountains of food I was inhaling. I also enjoyed the yogurt, it's a thicker yogurt like a Greek yogurt and topped with honey and raisins. Again, a nice sweet/tart treat that didn't feel too heavy after everything else. I definitely need to come back as I didn't even get my big plate chicken but it'll be hard to choose between all the options. I def recommend this spot, esp if you like lamb as all the dishes we had were excellent and priced fairly for the portion and current economic situation.
