The desserts here are fun, unique, and very different from what you find at most places. My only…read morecomplaint is the lack of labeling for many of the products. For example, with the Turkish delights and ice cream selections, only a few items are labeled. For most of them, you have to guess the flavor or ingredients. When I asked questions, there was a language barrier, and the staff member behind the counter was unable to clearly explain what the items were in English. This can be especially frustrating for customers with food allergies or dietary restrictions. In the U.S., I would expect all flavors and ingredients to be clearly labeled so customers can make informed choices. Even if staff members are not fluent in English, having accurate labels for flavors and ingredients would greatly improve the customer experience. The desserts themselves are excellent, but better product labeling would make the experience much more enjoyable and accessible for everyone.

It's been a decade since Suzie's came into the fold, bringing a delightful variety of Middle…read moreEastern and European pastries to an area that so desperately needed it. It's a family owned business and one that has been incredibly popular since they opened. I first learned about them as a result of Too Good To Go (#1) and have been a dedicated customer ever since. What their pastry shoppe lacks in space and chairs, they make up for by their extensive selection. There is sometimes a line that wraps around the interior, which can get awkward quicky. They specialize in a number of pastries such as baklava, pistachio desserts, Dubai chocolate, fruit-shaped desserts, celebration cakes, along with gelato and ice cream. Some of the other items include cake slices, macarons, cookies, cannoli, and more. While most of the stuff skews Lebanese, they have other regional items such as the Iraqi znood and Dubai chocolate covered treats. I'm quite fond of their fudge, znoods, and baklava variety. It's easy to get overwhelmed in there by just simply making a choice. The prices are affordable, but can add up quick. Customer service is good overall, it's important that they deal with crowds nightly so be prepared to choose something or ask for recommendations. __________ (#1) Only one of the best discounted services out there. Trust.

I was told these owners bought that place and are remodeling, I won't mention the name , but I spoke to a man last weekend who told me it was indeed true, but they were still remodeling. He said give it another month or so. I said OK, we will try you all out. OMG!! The date Maamoul was out of this world!! The other desserts were very good! I don't EVEN CARE if that other place reopens because the Maamoul ALONE was worth switching loyalty! I will include pictures of everything my husband bought that day. The only caveat is my husband said it was a beautiful cafe( you're going to pay for that) and everything came up to about $27 he said, a little pricey, but that Maamoul literally brought tears to my eyes!

Herbert's Specialty Meat Market is such a great Houston spot for Cajun food. They have a huge…read moreselection of easy meals to take home, including deboned chickens stuffed with rice, crawfish, or shrimp, along with gumbo, étouffée, boudin balls, and plenty more. Everything I've tried has been excellent. It's especially great for stocking the freezer with something you can pull out later in the week for an easy dinner that still feels like a real meal. Everyone I've recommended it to has loved what they've tried as well. This location is great, although one thing to know is that it doesn't serve hot prepared meals like their other location does, where you can get a full plate with things like chicken, étouffée, collard greens, and other sides. I do wish they offered that here too. For Cajun food in Houston, especially something you can take home and cook yourself, this is one of my favorite places. I recommend it all the time and would go back in a heartbeat. It really feels like a local staple, and I'm glad we have it in Houston.

Herbert's Specialty Meats on Richmond near the Galleria instantly took me back home. The moment you walk in, the number of items from Louisiana is delightful Their boudin, seasonings, and prepared items reminded me so much of my grandmother's gumbo, boudin, and rich, slow-cooked stews--comfort food that warms your soul. You can taste the authenticity and love in everything they make. This is the kind of place that understands balance, spice, and tradition. Customer service was excellent--friendly, patient, and genuinely happy to help you find exactly what you're craving. There are tons of choices, whether you're stocking up for a cookout or just grabbing something to satisfy that Cajun craving. For anyone missing Louisiana flavors or wanting the real deal in Houston, Herbert's is a must-stop. It feels like a little piece of "The Boot"

Basically if you want to look like you cooked but didn't, this is your place. The chicken salad is famous for a reason. It sells out constantly and I get why. The pastries and cookies are fantastic, the soups and casseroles actually taste homemade (better than homemade, honestly), and everything is made fresh in-house daily. I've grabbed their chicken tetrazzini for lazy weeknights more times than I'd like to admit. Staff is sweet, the space is adorable, and the wine selection is surprisingly solid for such a small shop. Great for dinner parties, host gifts, a quick lunch, or just treating yourself.

Grandkids got some goodies too, butter cookies. The conveyor belt that comes out of the overhead wall the pita breads come out of wasn't moving, hope it's not broken. That's a mesmerizing sight to see fresh pitas descending and all puffed up. We grabbed a few frozen food items for our use.

Every pupusa was pack full of flavor. This may be my new favorite pupusa place in Houston. My only negative feedback is that when you order 6 or more pupusas you would think they would give you more than one bag of salsa and slaw. There should have been at least two bags of slaw and two bags of salsa. I will definitely order from this place again.

Beware! I asked the guy behind the counter for two chickens,…read morebut he refused and told me to grab them from the shelf instead. I specifically requested fresh chicken from the walk-in fridge, but he flat out refused and insisted I take the pre-packed ones, claiming he had "just packed them." From past experience, I know the shelved chicken has a strange taste. After doing some research, I found out it comes from the absorbent pad under the meat. What he really meant by "just packed" was that they simply repack the same chicken over and over, slapping on a new "packed on" date sticker every day. Meanwhile, the meat sits there for who knows how long until it starts absorbing that pad's taste. This practice is misleading and unacceptable. I walked out without buying anything, even though I needed other items like flour and oil. I'll be taking my business elsewhere.
