This is kind of exciting. Some trustworthy friends recommended the falafel here advising me that it is made to order as opposed to just sitting around in a steam table all day. The sandwich is about $12. And comes with a thick, whole wheat pita, and your choice of different fixings. Now, the falafel that I make at home is actually a kind of a 50-50 recipe of an Egyptian fava recipe and a Lebanese chickpea recipe. It has a lot of parsley and cilantro so it's fairly green in the center and then the flavor profile comes from cumin, coriander, garlic, pepper, and salt. The staff here is wonderful. Super friendly and right on top of their game. With big smiles all around. And now, it's time to taste the falafel.. Oh man, it really IS good. This is a good falafel. Light, fluffy, lots of green in the center. Gorgeous CRUNCH. Clean oil, no fishy tasting canola here. My friends were not wrong. read more

This place is great! I randomly came upon it as I was shopping for some meat at Wild Fork next door and they mentioned something about Brassica next door. My wife and I decided to check out Brassica for a late lunch and it was pleasantly surprising! Brassica is originally from Ohio and it's basically healthy organic Mediterranean food. I personally am not in love with the genre of Mediterranean food but this restaurant made me change my mind about that. Everything tastes super fresh, healthy, and you feel good after the meal. I ordered a brisket sandwich with cauliflower on wheat pita bread. Since I'm not really a health nut I had to get a side of fries. :) The sandwich was spectacular! The only thing was I found it a bit hard to eat it cleanly so I just used a fork to go after the contents and finished the meal with the bread. The ambiance is really nice and a big step above what you would expect in a fast casual environment. The staff was also super friendly - almost too friendly. Maybe it's a grand opening thing. If they are that nice all the time, that's freaking awesome. Will definitely be back! read more

Brassica - Brisket sandwich with cauliflower on pita bread - Mediterranean Near Me - Houston, Texas

First time in, appealing food and place. Unfortunately their so called manager named (Toryen) had a discriminated attitude and rude to customers. I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT. read more

Brassica, brassica, brassica, what else can I say about you that I haven't already said? I was SO happy to hear that they were expanding outside of OH and of all places, happened to be in Houston. This is a fast casual spot that serves amazing, fresh, and tasty Mediterranean food. The staff at this location were super welcoming and friendly and again, I'm just so glad they're only a drive away rather than a flight. Foodwise, you can choose from a pita sandwich, hummus bowl, or salad bowl and can add proteins like falafel, chicken, or brisket. You fill up your vessel of choice with various veggies, grains, etc. along with choices of sauces (everything tastes great and I have not been let down). I do think the Texas location uses beef for the brisket instead of lamb (but maybe that's also changed at the Columbus locations I used to visit). Their fries are also very crisp and come with seasoning and a dipping sauce and is a perfect side to go with any of their entree options. They also have their inhouse brassarita which is their play on a margarita and is great if you want a nice, frozen beverage or you can go for their mint pink lemonade. I do wish Brassica were closer to me but maybe its good it isnt as I'd likely be eating it too often. However, I do highly recommend folks to come out and try it. Though now that we have a Brassica in Houston, maybe North Star can be next? read more

I really enjoyed our meal here. Clean simple and fresh ingredients. I wish the portions were a bit larger but overall I really liked everything we had. The Tahini chocolate chip cookies being vegan were a nice surprise. Both the chicken and brisket were very good and the fresh fries made to order were seasoned and crispy. I would definitely come here again! read more

Wow! This restaurant is gorgeous and the staff is very friendly and welcoming. The set up is like a high end Chipotle, and you get to choose between a sandwich, hummus or salad base. You also get to choose what kind of protein you want. I ordered the salad with falafel and I was able to decide which toppings I wanted. Everything was beautifully presented and there is quite a bit of variety of toppings that you can choose from. I also ordered French fries because they looked yummy and they did not disappoint. My salad was perfectly seasoned and I really appreciated that each ingredient was expertly cooked and seasoned which made the bowl super tasty and craveable. Everything component was super fresh and high quality and I felt really good after finishing most of my bowl. My diagnosis: come here for delicious Mediterranean food that is expertly cooked and presented beautifully! read more

Brassica - Salad bowl with falafel - Mediterranean Near Me - Houston, Texas

I took my mom here for an early dinner and she loved it! They had an Earth Day special so I'm glad we decide to stop by today. Service was excellent today. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. There was a line but it moved fast. Just like last time, the ingredients were fresh and delicious and the organic pita was so fluffy and goooooood.. I really like the design of the space. It's very spacious and elegant for a fast-casual concept. Love it! I hope they open a location in Katy or Richmond soon. Fingers crossed. I ordered the Falafel sandwich, Pink lemonade, and Tahini chocolate cookie. Everything was delicious. It filled me up but did not make me feel heavy or bloated. Both the lemonade and cookie were not overly sweet. I will definitely be a regular here. Brassica gets extra points for using eco-friendly cups and utensils. I truly appreciate the effort in keeping us and Mother Earth healthier. Thank you for supporting and celebrating Earth Day! read more

I was looking for something to eat. I did a search on Yelp to find something close and this popped up as New. I read the menu. I was intrigued. I stopped in this gives elevated cava vibes. Yesss They serve wines and they have frozen drinks. They also have sparkling water at the soda machine, which was a nice surprise that I enjoyed. They have two meats that you can top brisket or chicken. I was undecided. They let me do a mix that was good. They've only been open for 1-2 weeks so everyone in the line had questions, including myself. This staff was very helpful and accommodating. You can get either a wrap a salad and they have a good amount of toppings to choose from the salad is more cabbage and kale based the dressings were really good. Hot sauce was also good. Next Whole Foods or TJ run I'm in there. It's right next store and across the street from both. read more

I have never heard of this place so we went to a workout class next-door and found this cute little Mediterranean spot. The options were limited they have hummus and bubble ganache. Super healthy and fresh for sure they give you options of rice and salad salads, and the main Mediterranean toppings like pickled onions and cucumbers. They had carrots and different veggies, very healthy and fresh Parking is free upfront you order your food and you pay for it and then sit down. read more

I stopped by after completing my Whole Foods run! Behind the trees I saw Brassica! I heard about this place in an email and so today was the day to try it. My order: Pita Chicken Sandwich with everything Fries Mint lemonade Mint lemonade w/alcohol The place was clean and not what I was going to expect...you get to choose your items and actually see them as you walk down the counter line Although I did not get the brisket it looked really good. The pita is made in house My sandwich was so good we went back for more. That mint lemonade with and without the alcohol was also good. They do give you the option to take it home if you are not eating there. I really liked the sauce options Presentation is a 5 as well for the food. Sanjay provided excellent service. This is an absolute must 5 stars! read more

I've been coming here a couple times to try different combinations of their food and today I went with the chicken salad with all the works, and it was super filling. The hummus, chicken, and fresh veggies all went really well together and everything tasted fresh and flavorful. The employees were also really nice and the restaurant was clean and welcoming. Definitely recommend the chicken salad if you go! read more

Brassica - Chicken salad to go - Mediterranean Near Me - Houston, Texas

Brassica is now in Houston! Hailing from the state of Ohio, Brassica actually has several locations but this is the first outside of OH borders. The fast-casual sit down and takeout restaurant has customizable salads, sandwiches, and humus bowls made from healthy ingredients that are mostly vegetable focused. Think falafel, pickled cucumbers, beets, roasted carrots, eggplant, and of course the dips and sauces. For those that are caught in the protein craze, don't worry, they have meat options too. I opted for a salad bowl with falafel and got almost all of the veggie toppings. I don't eat meat or dairy so I was pleased to see so many tasty options that fit within my dietary preferences. The bowl was delicious. I would absolutely get this again. Speaking of dairy free, it's pretty hard for me to find desserts that fit for my diet so I was THRILLED to see that they had huge chocolatey chip cookies with sea salt on top that are vegan. Umm, YES PLEASE! Finally, it's worth noting that the service was really top notch. There were multiple employees helping with food preparation, checkout, cleaning, and checking on customers and everyone was so friendly and really made me feel comfortable and welcome. I was already convinced that I like Brassica from the food but this made the experience that much better. Already looking forward to coming back! read more

Brassica is a new Mediterranean chain in the memorial area that's basically an upscale chipotle. They give out free entrees on earth day every year so I had to take advantage of this deal. You get a choice of a pita sandwich, salad, or hummus plate. You then decide if you want a hummus or baba (smoked eggplant) sauce base I got a pita sandwich with baba and crispy onions. I got it half and half with the falafel and chicken. They also have brisket and vegetables available. I topped it off with some sweet beets, pickled cabbage, roasted carrots, marinated eggplant, and special sauce and feta cheese. I honestly didn't expect them to pack the sandwich this much but it was so huge. This sandwich was pretty insane flavor wise. I LOVED all of the veggies and pickled veggies, they brought out a whole new dimension of flavor and complimented everything well. I also really liked the falafel. Usually they are too dry but this one was fine. The chicken was a bit dry though, I wouldn't get that again. The only qualm I have about this sandwich is that it feels like you're eating everything in layers instead of it actually being spread out, but it still tasted really good read more

Was excited to try this one after reading about a Mediterranean place on Voss I'd never heard of and then realizing this was the old pei wei spot! Brassica lived up to the hype. Had the baba base with falafel and toppings while others had the chicken pita and fries. All in all, it was a solid meal with good quality. Some minor opportunities for improvement including more beverage variety as well as it would be nice to see a list of sides available to order. They have hummus, mujedra, etc on the bar but nowhere is it listed where you can buy it as a side outside of their three main lineup offerings of salad, pita or vegetarian base with falafel. More dessert options too please! There was a ton of staffing there and they didn't quite seem that they had things figured out yet but hopefully in a better rhythm soon with time. read more

A new Mediterranean fast casual has opening up in Houston. They really give you a good amount of food for your money. I ordered the sandwich with the chicken and you can add all of the vegetable they over and I ask the staff who was making the sandwich for me that I was everything and he was about to put all of the vegetables on my sandwich, it made it harder to eat my sandwich with one bite, so I have to fork down some of the food then I can try the pita bread that was holding my food. You will get your money worth here. They were very fast also. Do not skip the Minty Pink Lemonade, you gave refilled and it's not overly sweet. I was with a friend but one of the staff member Riley went out of her way to help me to bring my tray to our table due to my disability it is hard for me to carry it safely. Later on, I was waiting for my bus to pick me up, and I was sitting on the patio and she came out to check on me to make sure I am OK. Thank you Riley for your outstanding service. read more

I went the other day with co workers and had a great experience! The food was so fresh, flavorful and the restaurant is nice and clean! The chicken is seasoned so well and is very tender. My Turkish coworker said their falafels were very good too. I got their brisket which melts in your mouth It's like a Chipotle style set up but smaller portion which we appreciated. Food is being made fresh in the back and when the food is low in the front, they bring hot fresh food to refill it Staff was very kind and knowledgeable! We can't wait to come back! read more

We loved our first lunch here! I got a brisket "sandwich" and my wife got the Hummus plate with a ton of nice veggies. And we ordered French fries which had some great seasoning + sauce. The extremely nice staff also gave us a sample of soup (cauliflower/tahini?) which our baby really liked! Thanks to the reasonable prices, excellent service, and great-tasting food, we definitely wanna make this a regular spot to eat out! read more

I'm so glad I gave this place a chance! I'm officially a forever customer because everything....from the service to the food...it was excellent. The staff was so patient and welcoming with my parents while they were ordering, which I really appreciated. Sanjay went above and beyond by checking on all the tables, including ours. My dad especially loved the beets and wanted more, and Sanjay was more than happy to bring him an extra side. We absolutely loved the atmosphere and will definitely be coming back again for the food and experience! read more

Amazing food, great service, and fantastic atmosphere. Overall, great experience and I can't wait to go again!! Thanks, read more

I have family in Columbus Ohio - original home of Brassica and have been a fan for many years. I've always hoped Houston would get one or something similar and SURPRISE!! We just got our own!!! Quality, tasty, healthy food in an upscaled casual atmosphere. The crisp, clean surroundings tells you this establishment understands that eating out should be positive and uplifting on all levels even at a "value price". I'm a big fan of their roasted Mediterranean eggplant, carrots, cauliflower options. The hummus is spot on and the brisket, chicken and falafel protein options are well seasoned and savory...for Houston Locals - think Local Foods meets NikoNiko but better!! Put this place on your "give it a try list" - you won't be disappointed!!! read more

Brassica - Brisket bowl and falafel - Mediterranean Near Me - Houston, Texas

We went here for the soft opening and they treated us with great kindness and amazing service. We ordered the hummus platter with brisket and the brisket was flavorful and melted in your mouth plus the veggies were very well seasoned. The salad with brisket had a nice contrast between the textures with the slow braised brisket, the pickled veggies and the crunch in the crispy onions. We also got the falafel salad - the falafel was perfectly fried, crispy and not dry. The star of the show came at the end... the chocolate chip cookie, baked to perfection which was gooey and had the perfect touch of saltiness. For our drink we got homemade lemonade which had mint and beet juice and a unique flavor. The only negative is that everything is served on disposable plates but we loved it so much that maybe we will just bring our own plates next time. read more

Good portions, fresh flavor, good variety, easy ordering process. Both the brisket and chicken are great. Nice staff as well

Incredible new spot! Big fan. Pristine interior and great patio. Love how fresh the food is. Can't recommend enough. Great service!

Brassica is always fresh, makes me feel good about what I am eating, and offers great options to try every time (even though I have "mastered" my favorite order). Pro tip: Order the fries. You (and your other guests) will thank you. YUM! I love the materials they use in their dining space and when it's nice out, the patio is a great spot too! read more

I was in Houston for work and was thrilled to find this. This is a category defying experience... the set up is fast casual but the food says fine dining. All made in house. All delicious. Truly the world's best pita - baked on an open hearth right before your eyes! The service was fantastic and the environment is next level. We grabbed a bottle of wine and had dinner on the patio. Can't wait to do it again. 10/10 highly recommend. read more

I also got fries and a minty pink lemonade! The fries came out a couple minutes after I sat down but it's so worth the wait, they came out piping hot! Can't wait to go back! read more
