One for ordering main dishes like bowls, salads, and sandwiches while the other counter is for coffee, crepes, desserts, and pastries. The lady behind the main counter was very friendly and helpful. Despite being the only one there, she took her time and helped explained the menu. I really like the concept and how there's a Create Your Own Bowl or Salad menu option. My lunch date ordered the Casablanca bowl which consisted of roasted lamb and said the lamb was a little on the dry side with an overly gamey taste and would not recommend it. I ordered a Create Your Own Bow ($12.95) with Saffron Jasmine rice, and 6 veggie choices: fava bean hummus, cucumber tomato, sweet potato, lentils, roasted cauliflower, egg potato salad, and for an additional $3.50, the Potato cakes. The Potato cakes had a very soft and almost mushy inside texture. I didn't mind and thought it was good with the Harissa Aioli sauce. However, my veggie options were on the bland side so I had to purchase additional sauce for my bowl. I wish the menu allowed for 7 options instead of 6 since the scoops are very small. When I went over to the other counter for some cookies and gelato, the staff there were too busy talking to each other to help. When I asked for help, they didn't seem too keen on it so I skipped dessert and left. The concept is great, the casual decorative ambiance is fantastic, and the food is pretty good. However, the customer service is hit or miss. Note: There's a few two-top tables for outdoor seating. Also, parking in the front is very limited and can be a hectic during peak hours.

Impressive operation. Ekko's Greek American Deli is hidden at the convenience store of a Valero gas…read morestation that sells the most expensive gasoline in the state of Texas. That was why I drove by hundreds of times and never set foot in here. Last Sunday, my friend introduced me to Ekko's because I was gonna go to MoD Pizza across the street. I love Greek American food. The prices were very reasonable but I couldn't find familiar items on the menu. So, I picked gyro burger with fries. I took it home and the meat was so salty for me. The bun was too soft that falls apart when I held on my hands. The fries were soggy because the steam had nowhere to scape. Next time, I need to eat it right there. Takeout is always a challenge to keep food fresh.

Stopped by Ekko's Deli recently--yes, the one tucked inside a gas station. It's one of those places…read morethat holds a ton of nostalgia for me since the original owner was a family friend, and I used to eat here in my youth. I was hoping for a little taste of the past. I ordered the Pastichio plate, and... meh. The potatoes had a good lemony flavor but definitely needed more seasoning. The pastichio had a nice oregano vibe, but the béchamel was kind of off--gummy and weird, probably from how it was reheated. Not the comforting dish I remembered. Overall, the food was fine--edible, but kind of a letdown compared to what it used to be. That said, I'm not totally writing it off. I might come back to try something else on the menu and see if I just caught them on an off day. If you're in the mood for Greek food and find yourself near this little hidden spot, maybe give it a try--but manage your expectations if you're going in with fond memories like I did.

If you are looking for a great burger you'll find one at Burganic. The owner served me and a friend…read moreand we were both very impressed. It's a small place with limited seating. We began with a fun reaction time game and conversation with the owner, a friendly gentleman with a good sense of humor. My burger was probably the best I've had in my 60+ years of existence. Well worth stopping in for the food and the experience.

Real talk, Burganic Hub lowkey surprised me. On DoorDash I dropped my usual notes: double cheeseburger, beef bacon, American cheese, no tomatoes, no onions (we not doing all that), pickles and lettuce on the side. Most spots usually fumble my custom orders but they actually read it, & executed it clean. This let me know they pay attention to detail! That beef? Certified halal, flavor on point , you could taste the quality. Juicy, well-seasoned, cooked like somebody's pops with the slippers on & Bluetooth in his ear been holding down the grill for years. The beef bacon? Straight Smackin and flavor never lackin The sides? Fries hit crispy, not no soggy nonsense. Them potatoes tasted like they were grown fresh from someone garden. The Mozzarella sticks pulled like they supposed to eat fresh out the oil, no heat lamps involved. That type of freshness you only get when a spot respects their craft. I eat a lotta burgers, and this one? Definitely up there. If you serious about your food and you want it done proper, then pull up! Certified fasho.

Since moving to the Houston area, Al's has been on my list for a casual night of good food. After a…read morenight out, I was looking for a spot nearby and saw it was less than 10 minutes away. Al's is a convenience store with a solid counter option for a meal. Parking is easy: they've got a couple of reserved spots out front plus a shared lot across the street you can pay for. Inside, there's a good amount of seating, with tables that fit up to four people. We ordered the gyro quesadilla, the half-and-half plate, and two gyro sandwiches with a side of fries. The gyro meat was definitely the star compared to the chicken shawarma, so naturally the quesadilla and sandwiches became our favorites. Surprisingly though, the quesadilla was the standout- the gooey cheese with the gyro was absolute perfection. The chicken shawarma was unfortunately extremely dry. Prices are decent, and the garlic sauce paired well with everything. I just wish we had gotten more than one, since all the other sauces were tzatziki.

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.

Wow, what can I say! I got the chicken kebab plate with rice and hummus, and it was incredible. I…read moredon't easily say this, seeing as how I love mediterranean food and Houston has some amazing options for this cuisine. This was so good, that if this place was in a stand-alone location in an upscale area of town (and had actual silverware instead of the plastic crap I had to eat with... it was difficult to cut the chicken!)-- I guarantee people would rave about it and they could be open all day and night long. Okay, maybe not all night, but you get the picture. Yes, everything tasted this good. Even the rice. Certainly some of the best hummus in town. If you love mediterranean food and have time on the weekdays for lunch-- eat here! As someone already mentioned, this is a hidden gem in the tunnels.
