    Levant Shawarma  w/ 2 sides & pita
    Hong M.

    Dropped in for dinner after a medical appointment in the area. Relaxed atmosphere with ample seating and TV screens showing various events. Staff was helpful and friendly. We were able to get four half portion sides instead of two which allowed us to try more of the vast options. I ordered chicken kabob, couscous salad, potatoes, lentils and beet salad. My husband ordered the beef shawarma, salad, jalapeño humus, rice and potatoes. Once we ordered and paid, we got our drinks and were seated. Our food was brought to us hot and fresh. The food was vibrant and colorful. Everything tasted as good as it looked. Perfectly seasoned and delicious! We will return when we're in the area.

    Amazing location and pick up was quick and easy! The majority of the food options are incredibly delicious, I loved the spicy sauce they have it really added even more taste to my food. They all work very hard to make it a nice experience for the customers. I would try their desserts next time I visit for a in dine experience. Clean building too.

    Got takeout and had great experience. The nice gentleman behind the counter was very pleasant! I ordered the Levant Shawarma and the Chicken Pita (for my husband) and side of Hummus and pita bread. All was soo good! The meat was delicious and the rice was good. Was not a fan of the Couscous Salad though. But, the pita bread was so soft and great tasting with the hummus! Will be back!

    The food was fresh and tasted really good. We were offered their spicy red sauce for falafel and told it wasn't spicy. Personally found it too spicy for my taste buds. Baklava was okay. The ambience was great and we were grateful for the outside seating. Staff was quite friendly.

    Ordered lunch from here recently and was super impressed with the food. I got the bowl and picked chicken as my protein and had tons of options to pick from for my toppings. Everything had some much flavor and tasted so fresh! I am very excited to order from here again.

    Really solid spot for Mediterranean food! I love that their menu is so customizable, so you can just mix and match for whatever you're feeling in the moment. The Levant shawarma is so delicious, and I love that they load up everything with their tahini and garlic sauce. The pickled red onions go really well with the meat. And I love their lemon mint drink - so so addicting and refreshing!

    We were looking for something different for dinner and came across the Levant Halal Mediterranean Cafe. It was a great introduction to Lebanese cuisine. I had the Mediterranean Shawarma with couscous salad, lentils, grilled veggies, and moshuasha as sides. It was delicious. My wife had the Chicken Shawarma bowl, with rice, potatoes, hummus, and Lebanese salad. We couldn't eat all of the meal, and had lots let for lunch the next day. We will definitely be back.

    Really enjoyed my visit here. I was craving some fresh Mediterranean, and this was one I had saved for a while. Really glad I made the trip. Service was excellent and very helpful. The place itself was a good size and very nice. I tried the mint lemonade as well and it was really good. The chicken was cooked perfect and flavors were great. 10/10 for me! Can't wait to come try more.

    Wow! I love Levant so much! The food is absolutely fantastic. Years and years ago, I had a long-term boyfriend who was Syrian, and I was fortunate enough to enjoy all of the wonderful foods made by his Sittu (grandmother). Well, let me tell you, eating at Levant, I felt as though I were back in Sitty's kitchen again. I had the chicken kebab with rice and tabbouleh, and the flavors just screamed Syria! The chicken was juicy and seasoned so well that if you close your eyes, you would be transformed to another land while nibbling every morsel. I don't like it when tabbouleh is oversaturated with lemon juice, causing it to be bitter. They got the flavor balance of all of the ingredients just right. I tell you if I could, I would eat there every day. It's such a healthy way to eat. The portions are large. I had leftovers for lunch the next day. The restaurant feels new, sparkling, and immaculately clean. The employees are so genuinely sweet, nice, and appreciative.

    We had a large family gathering at Lavant Café and Grill on a weekday evening. We were sat right away. Their menu is amazing. The person behind the counter was amazing with suggestions of what to order. We loved the hummus and the falafel appetizers I got the chicken Shawarma bowl. It was absolutely amazing. The kids loved all the drinks in the glass bottles. We had such a great time and would come back over and over.

    Yummy!

    My favorite Mediterranean restaurant. The atmosphere is bright and clean. The staff friendly. The food is always fresh and delicious. My daughter is vegan and can always find lots of things to eat. Best beets ever! The drink selection is phenomenal!!

    Build a bowl - enough for leftovers. Pretty colors and fresh ingredients
    Erin G.

    The service was great- I walked right up and went down the line right away and the staff was nice and helpful. The ingredients looked very fresh and the taste did not disappoint. So many options to mix and match the bowls, which are great value with big portions. I'll gladly return.

    Delivery to work! Amazing bread and chicken shawarma with baba ghanoush! I haven't had any that I liked from when I was in the Middle East but this one made it to my top list! Recommended!

    Yes! There are plenty of vegan options. Sides in particular :)

    I was actually talking to the owner last week, they do indeed do catering orders.

    Is it Syrian food?

    We ate there a few weeks ago and talked to the owner. He was born in Syria and raised in Israel. It's certainly mid-eastern, I'm not sure that it's Syrian specifically, but he would know. We thought it was very good. He seems to have… 

    Are any of the meats gluten free? I know many gyro meats have breads added.

    We don’t serve gyros We serve shawarma all our meat & sauce is gluten free

    Can you confirm if all the meats and chicken are halal or only certain?

    Yes, they are. (Kosher)

    Is all the meat halal or certain ones?

The customer service is always amazing across all the employees, but especially the nice older guy. I have ordered their lamb gyros, which are always on point with huge servings. One of the few meals I actually like uncooked tomatoes in. The tzatziki sauce is so perky, it compliments the seasoning of the extremely flavorful and tender lamb perfectly. The Gyro Plate was one of the first "bigger" meals that I got. It tasted heavenly and was worth the extra price from the gyro wrap. It was my first experience with their hummus, which is some of the best I've ever had. I brought some home to my family because they sell tubs of hummus to go (for a similar price to what you could get at HEB, actually, and much better) and they ate it all within minutes. This has been a regular thing too. During lent I would order a lentil soup, pita, and falafel side that totaled at just under $6. This is an incredible price for how good it is. The falafels are genuinely the best falafels I have ever tried, crispy (but not hard) on the outside, and fluffy (not soggy) on the inside. Flavor was amazing. Just last week I ordered a lamb kebab plate. Folks, be prepared if you order this. This meal is HUGE. The lamb was heavenly, and I was really happy that they grilled the kebabs with some onions and peppers, really added flavor. The kebabs are made to order, so they're always fresh. Its worth the wait fellas. Come back and give this one a try if you're not rushed. Can I also mention they gave me a free soda on this one? What a nice restaurant! They're always quick except for kebabs (but give 'em the grace because its fresh cooking). 10/10 restaurant, give it a shot!

    Thanksgiving came around and we had zero desire to cook or clean. Our "plan" (and I use that word…read moreloosely) was Golden Corral. We figured if we got there early, we'd beat the crowd. Cute of us, honestly. We pulled up and that parking lot looked like Beyoncé was performing. Cars everywhere: on the grass, on the curbs, people creating their own imaginary parking spaces. People circling like it was Black Friday. Absolutely not. We left with no backup plan and even less hope. Pulled up Yelp and I remembered that Dimassi's buffet had been on my radar for months, but was it open? Called them up and CHA-CHING!!! Money! They were open, guys. That phone call felt like hitting the lottery. Thanksgiving was saved. We arrived and Dimassi's was calm, clean, and the buffet bar was fully stocked with hot food fresh out of the kitchen. They had your Mediterranean favorites: dips, salads, gyro meat, dolma, chicken kabobs, saffron rice, the good garlicky toum, warm potatoes, fresh pita, everything. They even prepared a turkey for patrons who wanted some. Wow. They understood the assignment. Now a couple things could be tweaked. I like my baba ganoush served warm...and maybe they could have had some lamb options? But, honestly? For a buffet on Thanksgiving at $23 a person ($9 for the 3 yr old with us), they delivered HARD. Dimassi's didn't just feed us...they rescued us from the Golden Corral Hunger Games. Thank you for being open. Thank you for coming through in the clutch. You saved Thanksgiving.

    I'd been wanting to check this place out for quite some time. There's another location in Round…read moreRock, but many reviewers said the original spot is much better, so we decided to start with the OG location. Parking is plentiful right in front of the restaurant. We came by on a Saturday around 1 PM, worried it might be packed, but it was actually pretty quiet. You can sit anywhere you like, grab a plate, and pay when you're done. The space is large and open, with three full rows of food and drinks plus a dedicated station for fruit and desserts. Everything was fresh, not overly salty, and there were plenty of options. My favorites were the hummus with eggplant (so flavorful with great texture), the salad and cucumber salad (fresh and refreshing), the dolma (perfectly done), gyro (tender and tasty), baked cauliflower (so good), fried chicken (juicy, crispy, and not salty), falafel (extra crunchy), and the lentil soup (simple but delicious). And don't miss their coffee at the checkout--it has a hint of warm spice and is the perfect finish after a meal. Surprisingly, I ended up loving the vegetable dishes even more than the meats. Overall, yes, $26 per person is on the higher side (what doesn't cost these days, right?!), but it's a great spot to try a variety of Mediterranean dishes that are fresh, simply seasoned, and let the ingredients shine--perfect whether you're new to the cuisine or just want a bit of everything.

If I don't feel like waiting 20 minutes, I'd order something else, like a wrap. If I do feel like waiting 20 minutes, I time them, and their are pretty accurate with their time estimates. Meanwhile, I can nab some cold water from their soda fountain and bask in the kitchen noises that echo around the restaurant. If need be, I can venture into their clean bathroom and wash my hands prior to eating. Once the food comes, I can chow down on each piece of chicken, perhaps adding a bit of dip from the garlic sauce, inhaling the savory rice with tomatoes, and perhaps carefully unwrap the warm roll of pita bread from its aluminum foil enclosure. The hummus will eventually be scraped down, and the salad will be consumed whether tabbouleh or cucumber tomato salad had accompanied the meal. If falafel had been ordered, I'd take a piece of it and a bite to enjoy the nice crisp exterior with soft crumbly interior prior to adding a minor coat of tahini. All 6 would be consumed; then feeling contently full, I'd bring the red tray towards the front of the store to the discard the inedible remnants into the waste bin before exiting and continuing on my merry way.
