    You can't go wrong with the combo over rice. The location is very clean and well-maintained.

    Most delicious Gyro, very close to the ones I've had in New York City. Ingredients are fresh, see for yourself!

    8. Lamb Over Rice Platter
    Yasser H.

    Gyro king was in point with their lamb over rice platter. Once I placed the order, it was my choice of what sides to add to the platter. I think rice and lamb and little bit of salad would have been fine. But I got greedy, and added garbanzo beans. Jalapeños, corn, little bit of carrots and cauliflower, which Were all part of the complimentary sides. As a result, the platter lost a little bit of its essence with all these extra unnecessary sides. Nonetheless, the rice and lamb and sauce were very good. They also give you the option to add extra meat. I see myself returning here for subsequent visits.

    Gyro King,  let's put this name to the test!

    Not exactly what I expected but then again we are in Texas? Evidently has some roots from NY or NJ area and then came out to the Lone Star State. More of a MiddleEastern version of a Gyro and more. Not a bad tasting Pita or something, but certainly NOT like from back home in Chicago. There it's more Greek style Gyroooooos from Greeks. So much more authentic and flavorful. Pretty decent but very small portions and very pricey indeed. Good taste Just not enough meat's and very overpriced for the portions. Love the decor and the whole place seems cool but sorry not a Gyro King in my book.....more like a King's Royal Jester. They should change name to be more realistic..... Imitación de giroscopio

    9. Chicken Over Rice Platter

    I ordered the chicken over rice platter and it was pretty decent. I felt like it was missing something I can't quite put my finger on. Maybe the tzaiki sauce that leaned toward a ranch sauce. Either way, it was tasty and I'd go back to try the gyros. Service was very quick and friendly!

    The brisket was hands down the star of the meal, it literally melted in my mouth. It was so tender…read moreI could pull it apart with just my fork. Easily some of the best brisket I've ever had. They had run out of beef ribs, so we ended up getting the pork chop instead, and it was really good! The mac and cheese with bacon was rich, cheesy, and delicious. The potato salad was a huge surprise, I'm usually not a potato salad person, but this one was a solid 10/10. The only thing I wouldn't recommend was this French-style side (it looked like a giant turd ). It was a 0/10 for me. I took one bite and couldn't eat the rest. The peach cobbler was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it didn't really wow me compared to everything else. Overall, the food was incredible, especially the brisket. I'll definitely be coming back. 10/10, highly recommend!

    Finally got to try Pinkerton's! Thankfully we only had to wait 5 minutes to get in. The spread…read moreincluded bbq pork ribs (I got them glazed and they were delicious! Definitely my favorite of their meats), jalapeño cheddar sausage (super juicy), coleslaw, bacon Mac n cheese (creamy and goood), and the meats came with pickled jalapeño, onions, and pickles. We also got the beef ribs, which were good but a bit salty, and a mix of the lean and fatty brisket -I definitely preferred the lean cut since it was already super juicy. The potato salad was hearty and good. Slicing the brisket! The workers were all so friendly!

We tried the turkey, brisket, and jalapeño sausage, and every one of them was delicious. The brisket was especially impressive--moist, incredibly tender, and so soft you didn't even need a knife to cut it. The sides were very good, but the meats were definitely the highlight of the meal. One thing we really appreciated was the toppings bar, which included pickles, onions, pickled onions, jalapeños, and two different barbecue sauces so you could customize each bite. They even had a mini soft-serve ice cream machine for a little dessert after your meal, which was a nice touch. They also offer family meal options, making it a great choice for larger groups. The restaurant was clean, had plenty of seating, and the staff was friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. If you're looking for excellent halal barbecue in the Houston area, Levant is definitely worth a visit!

    Updating my review - still 5 stars, and still a wonderful experience!…read more J and I visited for dinner and had the korma chop with beef and the lamb dumplings. All the servers were prompt and helpful and our food came out quickly. The korma chop was heavenly like last time - so well-flavored and savory! The beef was definitely a good choice. The dumplings were delicious as well - a bit lighter on the flavor but quite filling and paired nicely with the chili oil dipping sauce. The restaurant was about half-filled on a Saturday evening so we had no trouble getting a table. There are plenty of seating options for parties of 2-4 and a few options for larger parties. It is a relaxed location and perfect for a date night, or dinner with family and friends. Shout out to one of the servers who was kind enough to run after us in the parking lot as we left our bag on the table!

This is a nicely sized spot next to the Jusgo plaza in Houston Chinatown, so plenty of parking and also food options. It's tucked in a corner but should not be written off. Its a pretty casual sitdown restaurant and we were welcomed and sat pretty quickly on a Saturday around 8:30PM. We were provided menus and started ordering everything that sounded good (within reason for 2, sorta). We ended up getting the Uyghur polo with lamb shank, Uyghur goshnaan, korma chop, garlic cucumbers, mint tea, and a yogurt for dessert. This was more than enough food for 2 but I wanted to try a bunch and this is me holding back. The Uyghur goshnaan was very crispy and the filling was flavorful and juicy, good lamb flavor and nice spices. The Uyghur polo with lamb shank was great and the pilaf had a nice sweetness with raisins that cut through some of the fatty richness of the lamb. The korma chop was also super flavorful with a nice savory sauce and noodled with an excellent texture, very QQ. I don't usually order cucumbers at Asian restaurants cause I can make a cucumber salad pretty easily at home but the one here was very good. Excellent refreshing crunch and garlic flavor to go with all the other dishes. The mint tea was also nice to wash down the mountains of food I was inhaling. I also enjoyed the yogurt, it's a thicker yogurt like a Greek yogurt and topped with honey and raisins. Again, a nice sweet/tart treat that didn't feel too heavy after everything else. I definitely need to come back as I didn't even get my big plate chicken but it'll be hard to choose between all the options. I def recommend this spot, esp if you like lamb as all the dishes we had were excellent and priced fairly for the portion and current economic situation.
