My husband surprised me with a date night dinner here, and I was really looking forward to it. The…read moreambiance was romantic and intimate, which made for a nice evening. We had a reservation, but were seated at a tiny table in the middle of the restaurant, which was a little disappointing. We're big fans of Mediterranean food, so I was excited to try the menu since everything sounded delicious. We started with the Cold Mezzé Trio and then ordered the Grill to Share because we wanted to try a little bit of everything. The presentation was beautiful, and everything was fine, but the flavors were underwhelming. Nothing was bad, but nothing really stood out or left us wanting more. Overall, we enjoyed the atmosphere and our time together, but based on the food, it's probably not somewhere I would return to.

I looked up "restaurants near me" and Cafe Petra popped up, so I thought I'd give it a shot. (I…read moredidn't know it was a chain, which would have deterred me.) I was pleasantly surprised! I ordered the gyro sandwich. It came with fries or salad, and I ordered the salad. It was sort of sad! Only romaine lettuce and dressing with some feta, and a few of the lettuce pieces had brown edges. However: The gyro itself was amazing! The meat was very tender, and the tzatziki was tasty and plentiful. And so much meat! Plus it came with hummus and pitas on the side. Very good! Service was very good as well. One strong negative: it was freezing in there! So cold that it felt good to walk outside into 100 heat of Texas summer. I'd give this place 4 out of 5.

The ambiance was amazing here. We came during labor day weekend to try the place out after seeing…read moreall of the wonderful reviews online. We came pretty early (11) so it wasn't crowded yet. As we were leaving there were more tables filling up. It was very cold in there, which I appreciate so much after coming in from the heat outside. The cashier/ waiter was the nicest man! He listed out all of the drink options and asked if we had any questions about the menu. I ordered the lunch portion of the combo chicken and gyro plate and my husband had the chicken shawarma sandwich. Both came with a decent size feta salad and a large hummus and unlimited pita for dine in. My plate also came with taziki sauce and rice. The combo plate was huge! I could have easily shared with my husband and ask have leftovers. The meats were super tender and really flavorful. The rice was nice and fluffy, too. I will definitely be back and try more dishes. If you haven't been here, please give it a try. The customer service was enough to get back to try more dishes, but the food further convinced me.

My girlfriend and I were looking for something a bit different in the area and decided to have our…read morefirst try on Persian food at Kasra. I must say I have to echo her review, as we were blown away by the flavors. The restaurant was packed, and the decor was fancy but comfortable. One look at the interior and clientele already convinced me this place would be authentic. We opted to try 2 different combos, the Kasra and seafood combo, so we could share and try a bit of everything. It's hard to pick a favorite, all the proteins were flavorful and tender. The rice was a whole talking point just by itself. I often get bored with plain old white rice, so I'm glad Kasra seasons their rice well. The portions were very generous as well, they left me full after cleaning up that whole plate. This was an excellent introduction to Persian cuisine for me, we got lucky that we chose a place that would leave a great first impression!

Came here for lunch during Thanksgiving as my family eats late and I was starving…read more First time here and I am not disappointed. The restaurant wasn't busy at all as you can imagine on a holiday and I was sat right away. Table for 1. Forgot to take a picture of the menus but they have many options . The restaurant is pretty big and very clean . They keep the tables prepped to seat. Lots of room for large groups as well. My waiter took my order promptly . I started with the Hummus. It comes with one large Pita, seed oil, and the hummus. It was very flavorful and I really needed more Pita. The oil was a great accompaniment ( hummus on pita and dip in the oil) . I the ordered the Lamb Chops served on a bed of Biryani Rice with a grilled onion and tomato. They give you 5 lamp chops and a large portion of rice. She lamb was tender and seasoned well. The rice was very flavorful as well. Very good food. For my meal and a Turkish Coffee I paid $45 and I still have food for tomorrow as I'm going to definitely eat with family TONIGHT!!!

Finally, the loooong wait is over. And I don't mean waiting for a Mediterranean food truck in CS, I…read moremeant the wait of having the Shawarma King food truck stationed right in front of your eyes and waiting for all the paperwork before they could open. That was excruciating! Anyway, their menu is short and simple. Two types of Shawarmas (chicken and beef/lamb) and two types of Burritos, at very reasonable prices. The staff is extremely friendly and the best part is, of course, the food. The meat is always juicy fresh and the sauce greatly complements the taste. I am so happy to have two of the best food trucks in town, located so close to my workplace. They are usually busy throughout the day and run out early. So it's better to call in and check before paying a late evening visit. PS: The remaining star is to motivate them to increase their portion a little bit. Such good food should not leave you craving for more due to the portion. (I know I am nitpicking here, and let this in no way discourage you, to try them out.)

When I'm craving Mediterranean food, Fadi's is always one of my go-to spots. There are several…read morelocations around Houston, but I especially like this Katy Freeway location because it offers weekday specials that provide excellent value. Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., they offer a lunch special with one kebab and two sides for $17. They also have a happy hour Monday through Thursday from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. with one kebab and two sides for $15, which is a great deal. The kebab options typically include chicken, beef, lamb, or shrimp. To my knowledge, the other Fadi's locations do not offer these specials. On my most recent visit, I stopped by for happy hour. While the kebabs aren't necessarily my favorite item on the menu, it's hard to beat a meal with one kebab and two sides for $15. I chose the pomegranate eggplant, fried cauliflower, and their "Mama Ganoush," a roasted eggplant dip similar to baba ganoush. Everything was fresh and flavorful. Each meal also comes with a warm pita bread that is served fresh from the oven. The ordering process is simple: grab a tray, move down the line, and choose from the foods on display before paying at the register. The staff are always friendly, and there's plenty of seating inside. If you're looking for fresh, authentic Mediterranean food in the Katy area, Fadi's is an easy recommendation.

This is the case with Lama Mediterranean Cuisine in The Woodlands. My wife had a doctor's appointment at 2 pm and we live about 35 miles away, I figured go early and get some lunch and then get to the doctor with a full stomach. We put the address into the GPS and pulled right up in front of the restaurant. While it was nice weather outside, we decided to sit indoors and I am glad we did because I noticed some diners outdoors were batting away insects. Our server, Abraham came quickly and took our drink orders while we studied the menu and admired the beautifully decorated interior of the restaurant. Blue is a strong color they have used effectively, there is a large dinging room for a big group just off the main dining room and a bar at the far west end. We ordered some appetizers and they came out quickly, We had a small order (4 pieces) of the Fried Hallumi Cheese and also Kebbeh. Both came with a small sampling of cucumber, tomato and red onion which paired well. The Kebbeh had the most fragrant seasoning, I believe a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and clove. The serving sizes were ample and after trying some we both agreed to save room for the entrees we ordered, my wife had the Gyro Sandwich and I had the Chicken Shawerma, both were wrapped in a super fresh pita that had to be house made. My wife had the regular fries and I had sweet potato which were cooked perfectly, so light and crisp. We couldn't resist ordering some baklava to go, my wife thought walnut sounded good but our server said he felt the cashew was the best so we ordered that. When he brought it out, he said that there were 2 pieces of the cashew but he also added one of walnut at no charge, what a treat. We will be coming back here, the restaurant overall was super fresh and clean, service was great and the food was fantastic.

I finally visited this Greek/Mediterranean/Persian restaurant on a Sunday for lunch to see why it's…read morerated so high. Inside is elegant and well decorated with glass tables and large rugs everywhere. Looking at the menu, it's a mix of various cuisines, but they do separate out the Persian dishes which are somewhat similar to Mediterranean ones just cost a little more and have different spices altogether. If you visit on weekend nights, you'll likely get to see belly dancing here. I settled on the chicken shawarma wrap, even though it costs a few dollars more than the chicken pita. It does come with one side for $21,and I chose French fries. It tasted pretty good, but you do have to get used to the pickles which gives the wrap an overall weird taste. These are not your typical pickles which go well with American fried chicken sandwiches. A Mexican tortilla is used as a wrap here instead of the bread they use for wraps in other Mediterranean restaurants in Houston. If I wanted a chicken burrito, i would have dined at a Mexican restaurant. The fries are previously frozen ones and lightly seasoned and really only decent when hot. Unfortunately this is one of those restaurants which takes care of newly seated guests and large parties but ignores the tables of 1. Not my fault I only have one in my party. They seated me in the corner and another gentleman came about 20 mins after me and I never saw a waitress go to his table after being served his entree either. The chef or kitchen hand is the one who brings out the entree from the kitchen here and my waitress never showed up until they try to take your plate away. However, I was still eating and also waiting for 10 mins on a refill. I can only eat so much before needing to take a sip of a liquid...but if you come with a party of one here..you will likely be waiting awhile. The lady taking my plate wasn't even my waitress either. Meanwhile, for the gentleman sitting outside alone, I observed his drink to be empty a while and they weren't refilling his either. He finally leaves and goes to a cash register to pay. What? A semi-fine dining elegant spot with mandolin playing in the background has a cash register where you have to go up to pay? What is this world coming to? With these prices, they should roll out red carpet from the front door to your table each time you walk in....and surely make the waitress do something for once and take your card and swipe it herself at the cash register which shouldn't be in the middle of the damn room. Sort of defeats the purpose of being elegant. Did I mention the glasses are plastic here too. If they want to be refined, try at least using glasses for drinks.
