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!

It is self serve where you have to go up and place the order and they bring everything to your table. The food definitely hit the spot! We tried a few items from the menu which included: falafels, were dough in chicken, zaatar and half cheese, the cheesy kaak (favorite), labneh and veggies thin bread (least favorite) and meat pie along with both the types of teas. Definitely a place to go back to.

The food I ordered was amazing, I loved the apricot jam (have to go back for more now) and the egg potato and cheese was so good. The bread deserves its own credit because it is so good. Very satisfied with my experience here and the only thing I would recommend is the mixed veggies should have cucumber and some regular lettuce. Other than that it was delicious

This is another recent meal that seemed a bit overhyped from what we experienced…read more After asking for recommendations of popular dishes, we tried a chicken shawarma wrap, chicken shawarma plate with the Mediterranean salad, and the grape leaves. Out of all the items, the wrap was the best. It had a lot of sauce and that helped provide some much needed moisture. The chicken with the salad was very dry and that made it a bit unpleasant, unless you really douse it in sauce. The salad was fine but nothing special. Both the chicken and salad actually needed some salt. The grape leaves were okay--but I've had better. I was wishing I had tried the chicken Arabi instead until I saw them get out a bag of French fries. Nevermind...I don't think I'll be back.

Houston is quite lucky to have a place like this. These places are rare even in a place like the…read moregreater LA area. Anyways, I got the gemuse chicken doner and the beef doner after a long day. The beef doner was enormous. It was the size of a large styrofoam takeout box. They use a sesame based bread for this one which paired well with the mound of beef shawarma they put inside. The Gemuse chicken doner was packed full of chicken. I took this one home to have the next day. It was perfect the next day. Both of these came with a garlic sauce and a hot sauce each. The garlic sauce is one of the best I've had. It wasn't overpowering and I found myself trying to get the last drips of it. The only gripe I have is that they give only one per order. The hot sauce was excellent too. It wasn't overly spicy (*cough* all other places should take note), and actually added flavor besides heat. I came back to LA realizing that I'm probably not going to be having this for a while sigh

I got an odesskaya shawarma arabi style (sliced) no fries inside $11, and we got just a shawarma plate with only protein half beef half chicken and fries $16. Service is always impeccable, but it is a truck and they do take time to ensure every order is done well, so be patient, hang out see what else is in the lot. The guys are always smiling and helpful. They are now on Ubereats so no need to drive out (but nothing like fresh and a short conversation with the staff). Always recommend this place

Groovy makes absolutely Fantastic Burgers. There. I said it. They're probably the best burger food truck in the Houston area, although there's not a lot to choose from. I haven't had better burgers from food trucks anywhere, actually. Lankford and Angie's and Tornado might still be my faves in town, but in terms of food trucks, this is #1 all the way. We have a lot of amazing Mexican food trucks and Central American food trucks around Houston, some good Middle Eastern ones, and then there's a few amazing trucks from other regions. But when it comes to big juicy delicious burgers - not to mention keeping it within the $10 price range - this place has it down. Not among my 5 favourite burgers in Houston, but definitely top 10, which is very good, not far off the highest of the high on the list, and I would highly recommend giving them a try to anybody. But trust me - stick to their burgers rather than their chicken sandwiches. For me, the Chilli Burger is the stand out of the menu, as it is wet and delicious and perfect, Barbi also loves the standard burger which is excellent. But you should try whatever you're in the mood for and decide for yourself. And... Some don't like Barbi's heels on the table, so then SUE ME Some don't like Barbi's X-Rated movies, but they MOVE ME Every part of her is perfect, she is such a CUTIE And when she wants a burger, I take her to GROOVY Some people prefer their drinks a little more BOOZY Some people prefer Nicole Kidman, me I'm more TOM CRUISEY But this burger should be in the Louvre, or some other MUSEE Cause there is no better burger from a food truck than at GROOVY WHAT

As we got out the car both of them stood up and I'm assuming the owner/ most definitely the chef walks up to me and calls me Habibi, in that moment, I knew my brother and I picked the right spot to check out. Ordering was fairly easy I got the Mushroom burger with everything except their Onions and my brother got their chicken sandwich with coleslaw. When we brought up how the coleslaw was made (because everyone always adds different things) he said it came with onions on it. My brother isn't a fan of onions and told him and the chef told him I can take it off for you no problem. 10/10 Food comes through, I don't know what their groovy sauce Is tbh but it's like a garlicky sauce? Not sure how to explain it but get it anyways, crazy good. My brother is somewhat picky but when I asked him to review the chicken sandwich, cause it was huge! He said it was one of the best chicken sandwiches he's ever had and that's a big statement if you know him. If I did have to complain for whatever reason, I'd just say the burger patty was a little thin but at this point you're just cherry picking trying to find something to complain about. Totally legit spot, if you're in the area definitely check the spot out.

We ordered ahead by phone since our regulars knew the wait can be long. We picked up our order right away and ate by our car since there are no tables in this food truck park. I ordered a chicken shawarma with fries (Chicken Arabi). It comes with a shawarma cut into smaller slices, fries, coleslaw, and garlic and mayo sauces. The flatbread was well crisped. The fries were basic but tasty fries. The chicken was a bit dry but paired well with the garlic sauce and pickles. There are a ton of other food trucks in this area (mostly Middle Eastern cuisine) and dessert options. Parking is the most challenging aspect of eating here. The side of the narrow street is the only option without getting towed.
