Now as an adult, I have a free will and love coming here for mediterranean food whenever I am in the area. Many options, and the food comes out fresh, made to order. I just took my boyfriend here and he is shocked that he didn't try this place sooner. I ordered the lamb gyro plate while he got the lamb kabob. Both taste great! The lamb kabob was very juicy. Our sides consisted of caramelized onion hummus, creamy pasta, cucumber salad, roasted cauliflower, and tabouli. All were very good, especially the hummus. Their pita bread is so soft, probably the best pita bread in Houston! Really made the hummus even better.

The place is set up nicely with seating both inside and outside and good vibes. However, the service is extremely slow and forgetful. I had come in search of the best falafel sandwich, and after much research Mary'z was a top contender. The sandwich itself was fine but nothing to necessarily write home about. The sauces were fantastic if you ask for garlic and spicy sauce on the side. However, I got double charged for them after my servers forgot to deliver them to me. Additionally, it took a half hour to deliver my check after repeatedly asking for it. I will not be returning here unfortunately.

We were greeted pretty quickly when we walked in, when ready, just order at the counter. The We're Dough breakfast spread was okay but nothing too special. The two knockouts that everyone agreed were excellent were the Akkawi cheese fluffy kaak (street bread with cheese and sesame seeds), and the lahme bil ajiin (puff pastry with beef and pine nuts). The cardamom tea was kinda meh, I was hoping it would be something homebrewed, but it was just a grocery store-bought teabag in hot water. Come here for the bakery items, I'm definitely re-ordering the fluffy kaak with cheese and lahme bil ajiin!

Definitely a place to go back to.

I waited 20-30 minutes for the check. The food is terrible for the price. The food has more of a Mexican style taste now. It is not bad, but if you are paying $68 for a shawarma plate, a vegetarian sandwich, and some dip, it should taste like Mediterranean food, not Mexican food. They've lost my business for good. The deal breaker for me is the greed. There's better food for less elsewhere.

We tried the chicken kabab pita, beef pita, chicken shawarma pita. I recommend all three. The chicken kabab meat was perfectly tender and so flavorful. The hot sauce is a must!! We also had their fries which were perfectly crisp and seasoned. Hummus was so authentic and the quality was 10/10-def no filler ingredients. Lentil soup was delicious and hearty. Roasted potatoes were also so tasty! Overall, it is delicious food with quality ingredients and premium flavor! I will definitely be returning!

I booked the event back in February and worked with Muhanad Rantawi, who made the entire planning process smooth and easy. On the day of the event, the two servers assigned to us were absolutely phenomenal. They helped with setup and were attentive in serving food and drinks to our guests throughout the event. The space itself was clean, cute, and cozy--perfect for an intimate gathering. The food was delicious as well. Although we didn't receive the rice we had ordered, they made up for it by providing extra pita. One challenge was that the AC wasn't working, but the staff handled it as best as they could by bringing out a large kitchen fan to help keep guests comfortable. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. I would definitely use them again for catering and would consider hosting another event there in the future.

When we entered the vibe was relatable to the name of the restaurant but after a few minutes we heard Bollywood songs and I love Bollywood songs but I feel like the vibe of the restaurant should relate to the cuisine and ambiance. It automatically gives an impression that the restaurant isn't Greek or Lebanese for example. Anyway, we had ordered kibeh and lentil soup for appetizers. The lentil soup was the worst lentil soup I've ever had it was frozen we asked them to heat it but it still tasted disgusting. I couldn't eat it. The kibeh was alright the dip with the kibeh was good. For entrees, we ordered the chicken shawarma plate and combo kebabs. The plates came with a salad the dressing was interesting but I'm not a fan of feta cheese so I didn't have the salad. The shrimps and chicken kebab of the combo kebabs were not bad I really liked the shrimps. The hummus was okay and the rice was very bland. The service was quick I believe because everything felt like it was pre-cooked except for the kebabs but the beef kebab wasn't cooked entirely one of the pieces it was raw. The shawarma was not good at all! Very disappointing Our bill was $60 and we were charged a 2.5% fees for credit card!

Found out that they actually gave my food to another person who had already left the restaurant. Several mins later the man returned when he realized that they gave him the wrong food, AND they tried to give me that same food the man had returned. Then the cashier was upset when I wouldn't accept the food. Completely unacceptable and unsanitary. To make matters worse, I later called to report the situation to the manager and it turns out the manager was the one that tried to give me the mishandled food. Plus the employee I spoke to also tried to defend and justify the behavior. He said "I don't think there was anything wrong with the food". There is obviously something wrong going on at this place. Needless to say I will never return.
