    Passed by Cafe Petra on Fry Rd the other day and ordered take out tonight, didn't realize it had just opened recently - it's absolutely delicious! The eggplant and okra moussakas, hummus, baba ganoush, spaniko pita, and fried cauliflower were all especially good! Everything was fresh and the workers were friendly. Will definitely be back!

    Great food, decor, and service! The gyro and fries were my personal favorite. Looking forward to going back to try something else.

    Food was excellent. Service was very nice and the interior has been redone and is light, airy and cute.

    Overcooked fried cauliflower

    This is our third visit to this restaurant because we feel that we have found a great place for Lebanese food. The Shrimp Scampi is my favorite choice for an excellently prepared food. The only reason that this is not a 5.0 is because the Fried Cauliflower was overcooked (see picture), but the rest of the meal was great. Since everything is fresh-cooked, can only assume that there was only a single cook who looked away for just a minute!

    Looking for a new Mediterranean location I picked this one because one of my yelp friends gave it…read moregood reviews! They open at 10:30am, I showed up at 10:35am. Two workers were there, but unfortunately they said "the cooks aren't at work yet". They showed up about 5 minutes later as I was standing in the parking lot outside the door & they said to give them 10 minutes. I decided to run an errand & came back 30 minutes later. My order was a to-go. Upon my return, it took about 15 minutes for the food to be ready. I ordered the chicken curry lunch platter which comes with salad, rice & hummus. - Chicken curry (4/5)- quite unique curry sauce (kinda thick, can't place the spices) with tender chunks of chicken. - Salad (4.5/5) - Salad had a garlic dressing/sauce which elevated the basic lettuce salad & made it quite flavorful. - Hummus (3/5) - it was just ok for me. I've had some hummus at other Mediterranean places lately that are really fantastic so those have become my baseline. They have a garlic dip which I ordered as a side item, it's the most unique dip. It's whipped to a mashed potato consistency. It's good, different. When you mix the garlic dip into the hummus it upgrades the hummus flavor. - Lentil soup (3.5/5) I was expecting to have spoonfuls of actual whole lentils but this soup has the lentils puréed so it's just a little thicker than a broth soup with no visible lentils. The flavor is good, I can taste the black pepper (but it's not hot). I just prefer less of a puréed soup. Lots of pita bread was provided. The worker taking my order thanked me for coming back. Hopefully it's not a pattern for them not to be ready when the doors open.

    When I'm craving Mediterranean food, Fadi's is always one of my go-to spots. There are several…read morelocations around Houston, but I especially like this Katy Freeway location because it offers weekday specials that provide excellent value. Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., they offer a lunch special with one kebab and two sides for $17. They also have a happy hour Monday through Thursday from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. with one kebab and two sides for $15, which is a great deal. The kebab options typically include chicken, beef, lamb, or shrimp. To my knowledge, the other Fadi's locations do not offer these specials. On my most recent visit, I stopped by for happy hour. While the kebabs aren't necessarily my favorite item on the menu, it's hard to beat a meal with one kebab and two sides for $15. I chose the pomegranate eggplant, fried cauliflower, and their "Mama Ganoush," a roasted eggplant dip similar to baba ganoush. Everything was fresh and flavorful. Each meal also comes with a warm pita bread that is served fresh from the oven. The ordering process is simple: grab a tray, move down the line, and choose from the foods on display before paying at the register. The staff are always friendly, and there's plenty of seating inside. If you're looking for fresh, authentic Mediterranean food in the Katy area, Fadi's is an easy recommendation.

    It's a big disappointment. The quality went down. One of…read morethe spread tasted so off. I think it's spoiled? The beef with potatoes is served cold/below room temperature? The biggest turn off was the pita bread. The last time I came was 1+ year ago and the pita breads were to die for. I'm not sure if they had lowered the quality since then. Very sad. Fadi was my favorite Mediterranean chain in Houston.

    4.5 Stars Came here…read moreafter work on a Thursday evening. The restaurant was decently busy (about half the tables were filled) but I still felt taken care of. I was in line to order to-go but the lady in front of me had the hardest time paying for her order. After several unsuccessful attempts, another lady came by to take my order so that she could put my order to the kitchen first while I waited to pay. I found that to be extremely considerate of the worker to think to do that. Food came out in about 15 minutes. I was so hungry I ended up deciding to eat in my car. A little disappointed that they didn't include any utensils (nor did they ask if needed any), but thankfully I had some extras in my car. I ordered a chicken kebab and they were nice enough to sub my rice for a salad without extra charge. Also ordered the borani bademjan because I'm a fan of all things eggplant. Everything was delicious. The chicken kebab was juicy, moist, and nicely seasoned. However, my favorite item was hands down the borani bademjan. It had large pieces of smoky grilled eggplants and I love the spiced tomato flavors. Yum! Highly recommend for all eggplant fanatics. The borani came with a piece of nan that was good as well. Overall a great find and will be back to try other items.

    First off let me say the food is 10/10 amazing. The service is bad and I'm scared to write it as…read morepeople may shy away from trying this restaurant out but hopefully management will make some changes. I had the challow kabab with naan and my friend had the chapli kabab with rice. Both dishes were SO tasty and I'd recommend both. The naan is not buttery or oily so it was perfect with the most delicious and perfectly marinated meats. The chutney/vinegar sauce is always so refreshing and pairs so well with everything. I want this place to succeed because the food is just SO delicious however, it saddens me that the waiter was so terrible. He was dressed in torn up jeans and was on his phone as if it was glued to his face. I had no idea he was the waiter until I saw him go in the kitchen and I had to flag him down like hi can we order?! When he came to take our order he was the most meh person ever. He just stared out at the window as he stood there waiting for us to place our order. He didn't offer water or drinks until I called him back to ask like...can I at least have some water please? Then he yells from the counter, do you want room temperature or cold? Ugh I love this restaurants food but it saddens me to think that this waiter is going to be the downfall of this place. At one point he was loudly watching tik tok videos (to the point where I couldn't hear my friend talking to me from across the table). The other tables were also visibly annoyed with his lackluster energy and effort and one family was willing to leave because of his meh attitude. Saffron--please let go of this waiter. You're just too good of a restaurant and I hope you continue to succeed!! I just think with this waiter around, you could lose business like you did today.
