I came to this establishment genuinely wanting to love the experience because the ambience was beautiful, the atmosphere was enjoyable, and the food quality was absolutely delicious. Kenneth, who initially assisted our table, provided exceptional hospitality and attentiveness that made us feel welcomed and valued as guests. Unfortunately, once the shift changed, the experience noticeably declined. A sweet young lady did begin assisting us, and while she was kind, the level of attentiveness to our table drastically changed. As a Black couple, we could not help but notice the difference in treatment throughout the remainder of the evening. A non-Black couple was seated across from us, and within approximately 30 minutes, we observed at least 7 different staff members check on their table, with easily 20-25 interactions from staff overall throughout the night. The manager alone approached their table multiple times while we struggled to receive basic assistance. Meanwhile, we waited nearly 45 minutes for smoothies, had difficulty getting anyone's attention, and had to physically get up from our table more than once just to receive assistance. As the night continued, it became increasingly apparent that other ethnicities were receiving noticeably better and more attentive service than we were. What makes this especially disappointing is that the experience started off so positively. The ambience, food, and initial hospitality had us excited to return. However, the inconsistency in service and the stark contrast in treatment left us feeling uncomfortable, overlooked, and unwelcome. Whether intentional or not, perception matters, and unfortunately, we left feeling like our presence, and our money, was not valued the same way as others around us. I truly hate that the night ended this way because this place has so much potential, but based on our experience, we will not be returning. read more

My first Galentine brunch went exceptionally well, didn't expect it would be so much fun. The pink room with artificial cherry blossoms set the perfect tone for the occasion and we were all dressed in pink to match. Elizabeth waited on us. She was very cheerful and efficient . Got the nojitos for drinks, which are non alcoholic mojitos. I took the Purple Poison and others got the Mango, Strawberry etc. One ordered the Moroccon tea, and it came in a cute artistic pot. All non- alcoholic were priced between 8-$11. For food got the Cauliflower for starters. It was hot and pretty good. Then came the pasta, the Caprsese Avocado toasts and lastly the hummus pita. This was just our vegetarian table. The Avocado toasts was yummy but I found it a tad salty. Maybe because of the sweet drink , I don't know. The pasta was hot creamy and just the right texture. The hummus and pita was fresh but compared to the others mentioned above faded a bit in glamour. Last came the Molton lava cake with butterscotch icecream.... yummy..... and perfect way to end the meal. Parkerz has brunch options and right now Galantine special is going on. I must mention that they have so many spots to take some great insta worthy pics including the little waterfall at the back. Beware, Construction is going on at the entrance, and I hope they can do something about the wires over the waterfall so pics can be even better. There were many groups that came to celebrate today, there was group of gals all dressed in pure white, a bday gal gang .... girls day out it was ! Happy Galantine's Day to all the ladies out there. read more

Cute place. I like that it has a traditional parking lot. Went on a Sunday around 12 for brunch. It was empty! Don't know if that's good or bad. I felt like the waitress could have been a bit more aware of her timing, especially at the end. I feel like we waited extremely long to pay our tabs. I got the chicken tenders and waffles. Beautiful presentation but the chicken tenders have 0 taste. read more

Parkerz - Chicken tenders and waffles (plain) - Mediterranean Near Me - Houston, Texas

This quaint space is nestled on Westheimer and is a great space to study or a casual night out. They offer assorted coffees, mocktails and fresh juices. My absolute favorite is the Purple Poison- lemonade mixed with elderflower that is tart goodness. Their beef burger and wings are equally as amazing. Hookah is about $13 and very smooth. Service is always nice and attentive. I love that the music is never too loud which holds space for conversation and for those studying. read more

Intro: I stopped by Parkerz on a Sunday for dinner. This Mediterranean spot is known for its hookah, Mediterranean fare, and trendy ambiance. Once I arrived, they had three different sections you could sit in: the patio, the main indoor area, or the "library" area. Ambiance (5/5): This is where Parkerz really shines. I've been to quite a few hookah spots in my life and they all look pretty similar. That's not the case here. You seem like you're in a tropical jungle while you're sitting indoors in the main dining area. Tropical vibes. The patio is also nice but we thought it would be a little too toasty when we visited. If you want more of an intimate experience, check out the small "library" area. Pick your poison. Service (3/5): Standard service. A little slow. Not terribly attentive. But friendly and they did the job. Drinks (3/5): Some hookah spots serve alcohol and some don't. This one doesn't. Instead, you can order bottled water (they don't have free water), juices, soft drinks, or mocktails. I've always been anti-mocktails because I feel like they're grossly overpriced so I went with an iced tea. Food (4/5): We started with the baba ganoush (eggplant appetizer) which is served with fresh pita bread. A little more pita bread would have been nice as we finished the two pieces of bread with a good amount of dip leftover. From there, we shared the mixed platter which comes with a chicken kebab, lamb kebab, and ground meat kebab. Plus rice, a little bread, and a tomato and cucumber salad. This is a good dish to order if you like some variety. The meat was well seasoned and juicy. The saffron rice was plentiful. And the salad was fresh. Overall: If you're looking for some solid Mediterranean food and hookah, while in a cool environment, give Parkerz a try. There's free parking in the parking lot they share with other businesses. It was a bit busy when I was there but I found a spot. read more

I've had a bad experiences the last 3 times I've been here, but I decided to give it ONE LAST CHANCE, especially because it was late and I wanted good food. My server was so amazing that I actually might come back! Her name is Eye so please ask for her if you want service from a sweetheart with a smile and personality! I got the Parkerz cauliflower and shrimp with the trio sampler! The Parkerz Pasta is really good too! The atmosphere was very relaxed and I liked that. When I say Eye saved that place, I mean it!!!! If you see this... HEY GIRL! You're great!!!!!! 10/10 I will be back!!!! read more

The food was pretty good my friends and i only went to eat over here for a late brunch. When we were done with the food and asked for the check to our surprise they had charged each of us a 23 service fee we didn't even know about ! I feel like that's something we should know ahead of time. The places is great for photos if you are trying to get a few insta pics after you eat. read more

One of my favorite spots in Houston. Service is always good and the food is always tasty what more can you ask for. I went there for my first time and came back the next day with my family. It's also halal so that made it even better. My go to is the lamb chops, they are a little spicy but packed with flavor. My lady enjoyed it a lot as well because of the vibes she was able to take nice little pictures and enjoy her food. Whenever I'm in the Houston area I make sure this is one of my stop read more

Food, service and the ambiance were great! Our waitress Elizabeth was attentive and friendly!!

The atmosphere/staff I absolutely love this place! Upon walking in, I was greeted by the receptionist. She asked me if I would like to sit inside or outside. I chose to sit outside because it was a nice day. They have beautiful landscaping outside and beautiful design inside also. If you do choose to sit outside, make sure you still walk around the inside. It's so much to see and it's just an experience. The outside area has a really big grotto/waterfall and it's very relaxing. The food The food was to die for! it was so amazing. It had great flavor and everything came quite quickly. One thing that I really loved about this restaurant was that they are alcohol free. That may not be appealing for some people, but it was for me because I typically go with mocktails anyway, so it was really nice that they had such a variety of mocktails to choose from. I ended up just getting an appetizer to share with the table, wings and a dessert. All of the food was so good. I wish I could've tried more of the food, but I was just so stuffed after eating all of that. I would highly recommend giving them a try! read more

Came here for a birthday dinner on a Thursday during spring break. There was no wait at all then I learned many were observing Ramadan, including the owner and servers so it was understandable. We had the jungle themed room and reserved for our party and they allowed us a few balloons and centerpieces to make the place pop. The decor is fun and unique, can come off a little tacky but definitely works to draw a crowd for pictures and Instagram worth moments. The food was very good. I won't lie, I was surprised. We got the wings, although they lacked lemon pepper flavor, they were cooked to perfection and very hot! Also ordered the sampler which had hummus and pesto with naan and simosas. Lastly, a gyro with lamb and pesto. All very delicious. Prices were considerably adapt to the area. The place was ok in cleanliness. I do think sometimes you can miss things getting properly cleaned when your decor is this overwhelming but nothing was down right dirty...could just use a touch up. Greasy finger prints on the tables and cups that were a little slick. There were three other themed rooms that were also cute. I would return. read more

Came here for dinner with a friend. Loved the decor to the drinks, the food, and the service. There are multiple rooms with various decor and photo opportunities. Free parking and plenty of it. Free entry. No reservations are needed. Just show up and enjoy. If it wasn't cold, I would have sat outside on the patio near the waterfal.

Please don't take this review the wrong way because we didn't even order any food at all. We walked in not knowing it was a hookah lounge.. we thought it was just a restaurant/bar grill based off of the pictures we saw on Apple Maps. Well.. we walked in and there was so much smoke everywhere it made us feel lightheaded. We decided to sit down anyways. The vibes in that place though.. no chance anyone could pay me to go back in there. Everyone was eating their food in complete silence. It was very strange. We sat there for about 2-3 minutes before I stood up and told my friends let's leave and go somewhere else. Not my thing. Maybe this place is awesome for what it is, since I don't smoke or drink we passed this time and there won't be a next. Whoever took the pictures for the website did an amazing job and that's why I'm giving this a 2 star review. It looked really cool online, in person is a different story. The hostess was very nice and the waitstaff did both greet me and ask why we were leaving so fast lol. So nothing against the people working there. read more

I tried the Parkerz fries. It was meh. Tasted like bad frozen fries and beef was meh. Also, the fries are breaded. The cauliflower was good, but it is breaded too, so not gluten free. I got the tandoori chicken kebab for my entree. It was pretty good. I tried the purple poison and strawberry lemonade cocktails. Both were just okay. Thr lemonade was sweeter and the poison more sour. This restaurant offers okay food and some nice views. My rating also takes into account the price. All of this amounted to $100. read more

Caution: THREE PIECES OF HAIR FOUND in food! Ordered today through uber eats. I had marry me chicken and a chicken caesar salad. Halfway through eating the marry me chicken, I found a HAIR. I called the business letting them know, the boss was defensive saying there's no one in their kitchen with black hair. During the call I examined my food even more and found TWO MORE LONG BLACK HAIRS. This is truly a disappointed, my friend couldn't even eat her salad. Please check your food before eating here. read more

Parkerz - Marry Me Chicken - Mediterranean Near Me - Houston, Texas

Spoiler- you need to order a minimum of $35! The ambiance is amazing. That's about it. Customer service wasn't great. Our server was a total jerk. We ordered the hummus, mixed grill plate, spicy shrimp. My friend asked the waiter to sub out the pita bread for some cucumbers, and he said they don't have cucumbers just a plate of fresh veggies for $8! When she asked what type of veggies, he said "fresh veggies". What came out- a quarter of green bell pepper, a quarter of a tomato and a quarter of an onion. Literally. That was ridiculous. Now if our waiter was sucha smart a-- for the fresh veggies, how come he failed to mention that our food already came with hummus? Yup, that's right, we got two sides of hummus. Fail. We could have ordered an other starter. Hummus was good- but one was fine. Mixed grilled plate- beef & lamb were good. Packed with lot of flavor. Chicken was bland and you could taste the pieces of the spices. The cabbage pickle was really good. Nice was good too. Shrimp- 5/5. Highly recommend it. It's spicy and good. Chocolate explosion cake- now this is something which you need 10 people to eat. This is for chocolate lovers. This was the best part of the meal. Water- they do not have tap water. Just water bottles. That's fine, but get this: my friend was given a bigger water bottle and was charged the same price- $2.00. At least give the same water bottle sizes. Total spent- $101 for two people. Overall- the interior is nice. Food is pricey AF & service can be better. One thing I do wonder- if they are charging so much for food, then why aren't they changing the outside sign to their name instead of still having the previous name?! read more

everybody got they food but me and the food was cold. also i couldn't understand them!!

This place is whimsical with all sorts of decorations. Each room is decorated differently. I love the big plastic robot type dolls. I was there with a group of friends. The waitress Elizabeth was gracious to give us separate checks. This is a hookah place so if smoke bothers you, this is not the place for you. We proceeded to order water but there are only bottles of water for $2. Tip of 18 percent is included in your bill. I ordered a salmon Caesar salad. The salad could have used more lettuce. But the salmon filet serving was generous. The salmon was charred and that's why I took a star off. I'd like to return and order the lentil soup on a bowl. I hope this place does well. The previous restaurants in that space haven't. read more

Saw this place on TikTok and I thought it would be really fun to try it out. I thought the food was good, but pricey for what it was. Drinks are not served in a cup, and they are not free. I disliked how they charge for water. Also, the service was super slow so I don't understand how I'm expected to tip when there's a gratuity fee automatically applied..... I think the aesthetic is nice but other than that, I think the place is average. read more

Amazing date spot. The interior is so cute! The staff were very attentive and the food was amazing and huge! When we come back we will definitely be checking out the different rooms. I would recommend getting there before the rush (before 7/7:30pm). We got hookah as well. I forgot the flavor but I reminder it having mint in it, it was really good and the service was really fast. For dessert we got the chocolate, Nutella and strawberry crepe. You can build your own. Next time will definitely just be getting Nutella and strawberry! read more

What a great experience! I went on a Friday night and had to wait about 30 minutes which wasn't too bad, considering the weather was cold and no one wanted to sit on the patio. According to the server, this place is 100% Halal so they don't serve any alcohol, and it's not BYOB. The food was great! A good portion, and tasted fresh. The hookah was great as well. We stayed for about three hours, and even up until we left the hookah was still pulling very strong. They have lots of people coming around to change the coals often and the hookah was pretty cheap. it's self I will definitely be back to try more things from the menu. read more

PARKERZ... Where to begin!? An absolute phenomenal experience of nostalgia, chaos and adventure is found in one visit. From the very entrance of this uniquely decorated hookah restaurant from the very end is an overwhelming experience. (In such a good way.) Instagram models: It is time to get out your phones! Look off at absolutely nothing while standing infront of an eccentric piece of wall art or hanging chair! It'll be so worth the visit to get these shots. On a more serious note... this place is a MUST see. A great place to have a birthday party or just hang with friends. They do have hookah inside so it's best to sit outside if you are bringing children. They have a beautiful outside sitting area where you can sit insfront of their fountain. On to the food! (Yall know how I am when it comes to food) We started with the Bali hookah. So subtle with a beautiful kick of fruit and a dash of mint. Not once did we get dizzy or feel like we were getting a headache. I would recommend! We then ordered the hummus and a side of fries. All very small portions but the taste of their bread that they served with the hummus IS EVERYTHING! Hand-made and fluffy...Melts in your mouth. While the hummus was not memorable per say, the bread kicked it up every notch needed to make this appetizer hit the spot. The fries were crispy and also had a great flavor. My friend ordered their burger well done and the bun looked homemade. Also was pretty good and didnt come out dry! Meat was flavorful. The sweet potato fries were fresh and delicious..tasted homemade. Overall, the experience we had was top notch. From the elaborate decor to the handmade bread and soothing hookah. Highly recommended!! read more

The restaurant ambiance is fantastic. We love the decor. The food not so. We ordered 3 different items from the menu. The Parkerz pasta was very spicy that I couldn't eat it. The crispy chicken sandwiches was the worse I had ever eaten. The chicken was way over cooked and super dry. Honestly the chef should check his own food on that particular item. The falafel wrap was just OK. If the food would be better than this place will be one of the hottest place in town. read more

This is a solid 4.75. Loved the multiple rooms they have. Vibrant or chill or outdoors. We were in the pink room. The chairs were wide and comfy. Feels like you're at home. Their hookah was smooth! Ordered a kiwi, apple, paan. Try it! Food included the spicy sliders, the chicken shawarma and a crepe. Overall with drinks came out at about $35 pp. Really reasonable! The spicy sliders have got that spicy kick for sure. Didn't care much for the chicken shawarma, slightly smoked tasted, not my thing. Their fries seemed doubled fried but came in hot and crispy! I also enjoyed their crêpe, as many chocolaty toppings as you want! No ice cream option but fruits are extras. I do wished they'd warmed that crepe a little more. Overall, Abdul was our server. Super kind and attentive. They checked our coals regularly but not as too often that it was annoying. Obviously, the could tell when it was needed. The decor is great for photo Ops. Music wasn't too loud, so it's definitely a great place to hang out with friends to catch up without screaming! New fave place for a good hookah! Bookmarked and going back! Woot! read more

Went here with my boyfriend and I's late night anniversary dinner. Did not disappoint. Note: they do serve hookah so if you're a person who doesn't like smoke this is probably not the best place to eat. They open till 2am so it's a very good choice for late night dinner. Anyways, the entrance was absolutely GORGEOUS. It's a little too humid outside right now or else I'd sit outside in the patio, because the ambience looks so pretty back there. Now to the food. I didn't take a picture of the "Parker'z Shrimp", but trust me ORDER THAT. ITS SOO GOOD. The sauce is to die for. (10/10) Now the entrees, I ordered the Parker'z Pasta with grilled salmon. SO good they give you so much food with a huge slab of salmon. Tender and delicious. (9/10) My boyfriend ordered the mixed platter which I've eaten before. It's good but nothing new to me. Tender soft meats on rice. (7.8/10) Customer service was well attentive, forgot my drink for a bit, but was a very nice guy. I absolutely loved that he gave his honest opinion about the dishes instead of saying everything is good. He was detailed on which dishes he thought was good and others that were subpar. Made sure we knew what we were getting! Love it Recommend? YES read more

The food was great, I got the lamb chops. They were very tender, and juicy. The red bread I'm not sure what it's called but it's spicy was soooo yummy, along side the garlic sauce 10/10. The drinks were beautifully made and tasted great. Our waitress was very attentive and gave great recommendations to try. Now the venue itself was AMAZIIIINGGGGG, I have never felt like i was at multiple restaurants while in one restaurant. They have rooms for every mood you might think you're in for the night. The lights are dim but not too dark to where you can't see where you're going they have spot lights over the tables that just emphasize the grown and sexy feel of the establishment. Overall 10/10. Loved every minute of it. read more
