Only one other table was occupied, and someone who seemed to be the owner warmly greeted my group of 5 with some menus and an offer for Turkish coffee and tea. The lunch special is quite generous, and includes a wide array of starters and entrees. With 5 people, we tried 5 different appetizers and 5 different entrees and got a good sampling of their menu. The chicken shish kebab, falafel, lamb kebab, and menemen were all well seasoned and paired nicely with the many dishes of rice, salad, and flatbread they all came with. The lentil soup was also delicious. I was with my parents, who really only have a desire to eat East and Southeast Asian food, but they still enjoyed our meal here, which is saying a lot.

The food was cooked to perfection and arrived nice and hot. The only reason I gave it a 4+ is because of the self serve other than that it's a must try.

When I questioned them this charge not being disclosed anywhere in the restaurant or on the menu, they said this was a standard practice which the owner has been doing for many years and also applied at all other coffee shops and everywhere else -- and all their customers knew about it. We eat out very often and specially dined here several times already. This was the first time I saw this charge and I found their explanation not justifiable. The service charge plus tip added up to almost 30% on top of the meal cost. On another hand, the server got our order wrong on both two items and never checked in on us. The restroom's light was out and the toilet was not flushable. The food was good though. It's sad that we would have to find a new place to eat the same dishes now.

There are so many amazing Mediterranean dishes you can choose from to create your own plate but I always gravitate back to the Chicken Kebab because it's just THAT good. This chicken is grilled to perfection. The flavor is so freaking good and the char / smokiness just makes me so warm inside yet they're able to maintain such juiciness its amazing. That plus the rice which might be some of my favorite rice Ive ever had to this day because of how fragrant and spiced it is. The garlic sauce on the side ties everything together. The hummus is pretty good, nothing stands out and the pitas are nice as well. A plus that they're made in house continuously so they're as fresh as can be. Also sometimes they come around with glasses of mint tea to end off your meal which is so nice and the tea is incredible. Fadi's come to NYC please!!!!

My lamb shank chewy, there were garbanzo beans and noodles mixed into my gravy and rice. For the price of $14.00 I had to return it for a refund.

This was once a favorite spot to get homemade Mediterranean meals, not so anymore. It too 14 minutes. A note . The breads are not all baked fresh in store. I saw a worker bring in some in plastic bags.

Wow. When the owners of this food truck told me that their gyro is made with love and care, I…read moreinitially thought, how cliché. However, their culinary prowess backs up that statement. I've tried many combo platters over the years and they all generally taste similar, but this version is unlike anything I've tried before. The dish contains a unique pickled flavor that brings out the rice and veggies. The gyro also tastes uniquely savory. I wish I took a better pic but I came here on a time crunch. Having a great gyro spot on Washington Ave is so fitting. Nothing hits harder than fast food after a night out, and Big Bite will serve as an unexpected blessing to those that stumble across it. It's no secret that good food trucks tend to look very barebones, but I still find it comical that the owners don't even have a menu to view. They nonchalantly suggested that I look for a photo on their Google Maps location instead. Rest assured, their food more than makes up for their lackluster appearance. I would love to give 5 stars but I paid an otherworldly price for my combo platter. $18 is the steepest I've ever seen an establishment charge, and it would've run me about $20 if I paid with card instead of cash. However, I wouldn't mind dropping by again on occasion for the amazing food and awesome owners.

I've shared with family, friends and colleagues about Fadi's and always made a point to stop by even after moving to another State. We visited the Memorial location on Dec 31 and noticed a promotion offering 10% off gift cards with a minimum $50 purchase. I thought this was a great opportunity to share my love of Fadi's with my new real estate agent who helps us out in house hunting! Unfortunately, Francisco, the manager told us they run out of gift cards. Since we were on our way to a friend's dinner in Sugar Land, he suggested we stop by the SL location and speak with the manager there, Shane. Because of Houston traffic and other errands we needed to run before dinner, I called the SL location to explain that we wouldn't make it in time and asked whether we could purchase the gift card the next day, Jan 1. Shane flatly said no--no exceptions since the promotion ended on Dec 31 and then abruptly hung up. I understand year-end accounting considerations, but the complete lack of flexibility (and courtesy) was shocking, especially when this would have been additional revenue for the restaurant. It was not customer-centric at all. To be fair, Francisco at the Memorial location did offer to honor the 10% discount if we came back on Jan 1, but he couldn't guarantee they'd have gift cards available. I mentioned that the Meyerland location would be closest to us, but were told that location has a different owner and doesn't participate in the same promotions. That left us frustrated, especially given our schedule the next day. As for the Memorial location itself: the food was good, service overall was solid, and the layout reminded me of the Katy location. However, the cashier experience could use improvement. She was on the phone while checking us out and clearly multitasking while responding to someone else at the same time. It felt rushed and disorganized, possibly due to understaffing. This visit was around 3:05 pm on Dec 31, so I understand it was a busy day, but it might be worth having additional staff to help with carryout or catering orders. I'm sharing this because I care about Fadi's and want to see the customer experience reflect the quality and reputation the brand has built over the years.

The portion was noticeably smaller than other restaurants--we were able to split it between two people, but there were no leftovers. To their credit, they do give you complimentary pita chips with hummus. And the hummus is good! But there's no complimentary fresh pita bread, and no small plate with fresh herbs and feta. So yeah, I'll probably pass on going out of my way to come back here, but it's not bad.
