    Potatoes and kale salad with strawberries
    Sonia G.

    Let me start by saying I am a fan of at least two other Fadi's restaurants in the Houston area. This particular branch was not hitting on all fours however. My dining companion put it well,"The food was cooked as though they are following a recipe and only have a vague idea of what it's supposed to taste like." There were two of us, and we got chicken shawarma wrap, lamb wrap, fries, 1 drink, two half sides, and 1 baklava for about $50 USD at lunchtime. I do not think I have ever paid so much for so little. The meat had too many onions in it and was liberally seasoned with pepper, but they forgot the salt. The yogurt sauce had zero flavor. I almost think they just gave us plain yogurt with nothing else in it because the consistency was so thick. The chicken shawarma was dry. The pita bread was bitter and it did not taste at all fresh although it was only about noon on a weekday. I think this Fadi's must be one of those places that people only go to because it is convenient to the museums or their workplaces. The overall ambience was clean although the one person per bathroom with only 2 bathrooms total situation is not ideal given that one has to share with the staff. Finally, although the chicken shawarma table sign, they gave me stated 15 minutes to cook, it easily took 20 minutes. There were only four people ahead of us with only one of them getting something that took extra time to cook. Her sign said 8 minutes. I did not see anyone do a delivery order or pickup order while we were there which was about 40 minutes.Do they only have one grill then? The kale salad was only okay. The potatoes were dry and overly lemon flavored.

    This food just looked beautiful.

    I wasn't even going to review on vacation but this food just looked so beautiful. The parking situation is kind of difficult but if its not 900 degrees outside and you can walk from a nearby museum DO IT. Everything is super fresh and entrees are made to order. There are about 10 flavors of hummus to try. Meal prep can take a little while if it is busy but its worth the wait.

    What's wrong with this Fadi location? I live in Austin. Everytime I go to Houston, I must visit Fadi. This is my first time at this location. Pita bread: a total disappointment. Pita bread at Fadi is to die for, but not here. The bread has a weird acidic taste to it, and it's flat. It's far from fresh. Why? Why open a new location just to bring down the reputation of the whole chain ? Salad bar: it's way smaller than other locations, which is understandable. baba ganoush tastes so off. The kabobs taste fine. Overall, I for sure won't be back at this location again.

    Turkish Lamb Kabob

    This was my first time at Fadi's after hearing about it from friends. I thoroughly enjoy Mediterranean food, so I was particularly excited to try this chain. To order, you can either choose a combo plate which comes with a wrap or a kebab + rice and your choice of 2-4 sides from their huge selection, which is presented in a buffet bar style that they serve to you. I picked the classic combo plate, which is 1 kebab and 2 half sides. I picked the Turkish lamb, which is a ground lamb kebab. The side selection was quite extensive, and everything looked pretty tasty. We came on a Wednesday at 2pm, so some things were in low quantity. I picked the pomegranate eggplant and Zaatar hummus. Some friends who joined did not expect the hummus to count as a side, but it does so beware. Once I got my sides and complimentary pita bread, I waited for my protein, which took 15ish minutes to be served, which felt like forever. The kebab was decent, maybe a little dry. The flavor was nothing groundbreaking but tasty for what it is. The eggplant was slightly sweet and tart from the pomegranate. The hummus was your typical hummus with some extra seasonings, like oregano. Overall, the value was decent for the amount of food. I was able to save half of my meal after becoming pretty full, but others were able to finish their plate. The interior is clean and has a modern aesthetic. The workers were friendly, but the one who took our order spoke primarily Spanish and ran into difficulty communicating when we were not ordering by the book.

    Casual dining spot with great mediterranean food. The place is clean. Staff is friendly. Plenty of free parking at the garage. You choose your dishes and paid. Get your drink and a number stand and food will be delivered to your table. Love their pomegrate eggplant. A great place for Vegan and meat lover. Never try anything I don't like at Fadi's.

    Historically significant. Excellent food as you can see from the reviews…read more So I'll just post photos. My default ? Lemon cod, tabouli, coconut pie. The fried chicken is not good enough to recommend. As you will see, George M., the manager did respond to my comment. And I thank him for his response. (Though I was amused by how he phrased his response). Keep in mind. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Cleburne. I grew up in a Houston with Picadilly, Weldon's, Brittain's, Luby's, Wyatt's and more. Cafeterias in the 50's and 60's were an important way for families to dine out economically, and go to for the Sunday after church dinner. I visit Cleburne as often as possible, and my wife and I still reminisce about the matriarch at the register who could calculate everyone's bill in her head as they showed up to pay. Such wonderful memories. But as a person who has done fried chicken for decades, creating The Fried Chicken Blog (www.thefriedchickenblog.com) to document the fried chicken picnics in the German Czech communities of central Texas, and having fun with many different fried chicken recipes, I read his response about his chicken being one of the "best in the country," with amusement; so I will leave it up to you. Look at the photo of the dry, fried chicken on JUne 15, 2026, and then compare it to the photo I have just added for what I think fried chicken would look like at the best places (One example would be Barbecue Inn on Crosstimbers). There are some tricks to fried chicken. That is, once you decide on which traditional method you choose to go with. Example of one such: The batter of course, where you add a little moisture into the flour before the dipping and frying so that pieces of the wetted flour clump and will be picked up. Getting back to the Cleburne recipe. My guess is that this is one of the classic Southern, dredge in flour and pan fry, but not a buttermilk soak, dip, dredge, redip, dredge, fry method. This one is more akin to the classic skillet fry method and a simpler flour coating (I'm guessing). Which can be really good. But for me, I'd say, pass on the fried chicken and go for one of their other entrees.

    This place is great! It is a cafeteria style place. The workers are so helpful and the portions…read moreare large. Come hungry. I had the chicken fried steak, and it was solid.

    Please note, this review is for a hospital cafeteria, and I'm basing it on the typical quality one…read moreshould expect from such a setting. It's only fair to evaluate this experience with that in mind, rather than comparing it to a high-end steakhouse. Thumbs Up: Location - Finding the cafeteria on B1 can feel like navigating a maze. However, you should be able to reach it from any elevator, and the directions are clearly marked at every hallway intersection. If you get lost, just ask someone who looks like they work at the hospital for help. Thumbs Up: Breakfast - The café offers a good variety for breakfast, including a yogurt station with customizable toppings, a grill for freshly prepared options, and a station with premade items. Thumbs Up: Breakfast - Prices for the breakfast items, especially the premade options, are very reasonable. Thumbs Up: Breakfast - The cheesy scrambled eggs are light and taste almost too perfect. Thumbs Up: Breakfast - I didn't try them, but they serve the biggest breakfast sausages I've seen. Thumbs Up: Lunch - There's an even larger variety for lunch, including a grill (burgers, fries, etc.), a sandwich bar, cafeteria staples, and some heavier options. Thumbs Up: Lunch - The mac & cheese was really good, surprisingly so. Neutral: Lunch: The spaghetti's flavor was okay, but it was very easy to eat--no need to twist it around the fork. Thumbs Up: Lunch - The dirty rice had a nice spicy kick I didn't expect. It could use a bit of salt, but that's understandable, considering it's a hospital and some diners are on restricted diets. Neutral: Dinner - I haven't been late enough to try dinner service, so I can't provide feedback on that.

    They have a large selection to choose from. The problem is getting in there on their schedule…read more This morning I was a few minutes late because I was waiting to speak with the Doctor. When I arrived there were a line of people going in all wanting a breakfast item, as I was. There was plenty of food to choose from in the grill area, but they would not let us purchase it. Instead they were putting it in the trash. Why would they not continue to sell what was already prepared? They could just say we are preparing for the lunch and we only have what is here in front of you. When it is gone, it is gone and not in the trash. Just my comments, not sure they will make a difference.
