    French Fries
    Eugene T.

    I'm used to a much more Americanized fast casual version of Mediterranean food (which I also enjoy) but I am beyond glad I took a stop here. The food here is DELICIOUS! I've only done to go orders but the restaurant is nice and clean from what I've seen. The people working there have been polite and helpful each time I've gone. My most recent visit I ordered the Shrimp Tempura appetizer. The shrimp were good and I really liked citrusy Mediterranean dipping sauce was a nice tangy compliment to the shrimp. The shrimp were smaller than I would've liked for the cost and number of shrimp that you get. I'm pretty sure that I've gotten the King Tut Platter each time that I've eaten here, and each time I've been satisfied. The platter is served over a bed of rice and comes with three meats, a beef kabob, a chicken kabob and a kofta kabob, which is made of lamb. The meats are each good in their own right. They're so juicy and well seasoned that I honestly can't pick a favorite. Grilled onions, tomatoes and green peppers are the vegetables served with the platter. The vegetables are all cooked well and kept at the point of getting a nice grilled flavor while keeping the juicy freshness you want. The platters have side options of either a Cairo Salad, Tabbouleh Salad or French Fries. The fries are battered which of course as a nice extra flavor to them. Between the two salads I prefer the Cairo over the Tabbouleh. The Tabbouleh respectfully just feels like garnish but the Cairo is pretty good. The only thing that I don't care for in the platter is the pita bread. For me it has been drier and lacking in flavor but the first time I had it was much better than the last. By comparison, the hummus that comes with the order is really good and for me does a great job of uplifting the pita bread. I've also tried the Chicken Shawarma Platter via trying a friend's food. The food was really good and very flavorful but I did prefer the heartier sized pieces with the King Tut Platter. Pharaohs Kitchen is a place that I would probably pass by 100 times but I'm so glad that I made the stop here and my taste buds are too!

    Great service! Hot, fresh entrees! Quality food! They will definitely see me back again!

    Lamb Gyro Platter

    The food here is seriously so good everything is super flavorful! The vegetables especially stood out to me they weren't bland at all and actually had a rich well seasoned taste. You can tell they put real effort into making everything taste fresh!

    I had lunch here recently for the first time and plan to return. Pharaohs is a table service restaurant with plenty of parking available in front. I ordered the lamb gyro pita with fries for $12.29. Other side options are salad and onion rings for $3.99 more. The food took about 10 minutes to arrive. The pita was large and hot and delicious. It was satisfying to eat with a lot of flavor. The fries were also hot with a crunchy exterior and good tasting. My only complaint is that ketchup is only served in packets here and that is a real pain when you want it on french fries like I did. Table service was good too. I will dine here again to try something different because Pharaohs Kitchen is a good place to eat.

    Beef kabob
    Yasamin R.

    We ordered takeout and the food was great! The beef kabobs were tender and the sauce was light. I wasn't a big fan of the chicken shawarma because it tasted dry and the sauce wasn't to my liking. But, the fries were perfectly crispy and the portions were a good size as well. Overall I would eat here again and try the different menu items!

    Kosharri, vegetarian treat of various types of pasta and rice and vegetables and a light dressing w/ crisp onions sprinkled on top. Yum.

    This is a wonderful little gem sort of hidden at the end of the parking lot off of a major thoroughfare. A lot of people waste time hanging out in a line of running cars waiting for the fast food pickup window a little further down at the other end of the parking lot, not realizing that the really good food is here. It's fresh. The owner whose name is Sam really cares about the quality of his food and he's such a nice man. If you like Mediterranean food, you definitely should come and try this. Family members love coming as well.

    Felafel gyro plate ... SO GOOD
    Ariam E.

    Definitely coming back. Hard to say about the ambience or in-house service since we ordered for pick up but the service pick up and food were FANTASTIC! We ordered the lamb kofta platter that included white and saffron rice, 2 pieces of lamb kotfa, plenty of veggies on top of it and included a side salad. The platter had delicious sauce on top and the meat was juicy and tender. Very good portion and veggie,carb, meat ratio proportion as well. Also, we got the felafel gyro platter... really nice as well! Comes with 5 pieces of felafel cut i half over a bed of fluffy white and yellow rice, then with fresh veggies like cucumber, tomatoe, parsley and some cream (not sure if it was cream or sauce) that gave the whole plate a great combo. For the side I exchanged the salad for hummus and pita for an extra 2.99 charge and the portion of the hummus and pita for the upcharge was very fair. The portions on the plate were very good to pricing too. The service, packaging, snd time wait was normal, and the quality of the food really surprising. Definitely coming back.

    I kept seeing this place as I drove by to go to Walmart or HEB, so I told hubby,let's go since the reviews and pics look good. We ordered the pharaohs plate, the stuffed grape leaves, lebneh app, and chicken salad; everything was very good. I liked the salad the best. Next time, I'd just order that. The chicken was seasoned well and the dressing was tasty. The portions were above average. Fries were meh. The servers were nice; I feel like the place should be counter service but I guess they don't want that area to be crowded. Overall, the food was on par with other similar restaurants and was good so we would definitely be back!

    Tabbouleh Salad and Lamb Gyro Platter
    Katherine S.

    I ordered a gyro platter with a side of tabouleh salad. I was impressed with the portion size. I also got the kunafa. All of the food was delicious. The meat was very tender and all the food was flavorful. My only complaint would be the kunafa was too dry for my liking. Im used to it being drizzled with honey and there wasnt much honey on the one i ordered. The server was very nice and the establishment was very clean. Overall, ide definitely go back

    Kosharri

    Let's start with the good... Egyptian falafel (ta3mea) is really good and fresh. The pita bread was also hot and fluffy. The gyro plate had a decent balance of flavor, lamb was seasoned well, and the rice was ok. Meat in the mixed platter was also grilled well. The bad... I would bet money the hummus was served straight from the can! Also, never in my life have I seen anyone put diced tomatoes on koshari. Talking about tomatoes, every salad in every dish had old tomatoes and the salads overall felt at least a day old. Overall, it's alright, I would be back for the falafel and maybe a gyro sandwich. Service was nice but did not know most of the menu, and the decor and Egyptian songs are a nice touch!

    Pharoah's Mixed Gyro Feast - main dish
    Chee Keat F.

    We've decided to check out this new mediterranean restaurant that had only been open for a few weeks. The were plenty of options on the menu. Since we weren't sure what to order, we decided to go with the Pharoah's Mixed Gyro Feast. It's a family platter with shaved lamb/beef/chicken gyro over rice, and comes with hummus, pita and your choice of salad. It was pretty good value, and there seems to be enough food for 2-3 people. The gyro and rice was amazing. The meat was tasty and had a nice 'bounce' to it. We got the tabbouleh for the salad and it was very good as well. The owner gave us some complimentary pistachio baklava to try, and it tasted fresh, crunchy and delicious - some of the best we've had. The staff was friendly, but they're still working out some kinks in the service when we visited. The restaurant is not fancy but has adequate seating for small and medium sized groups. We look forward to coming back to try the other dishes on their menu.

    Kebab platter
    Katrina T.

    So quickly have I become a regular here. The waitress is so sweet and is quick to remember my order lol the food is so fresh and delicious and they definitely don't skimp on the portions. I love the platters or the gyros and definitely have to get the tzatziki. Lots of parking and the place is nice and clean.

    Glenn K.

    Delicious food, wonderful service, and nice decor. The chicken shawarma was tender and flavorful.

    This was the hummus and salad for a family of 3-4. Salad was enough for one person.

All 3 meals were really flavorful, good quality, really well-seasoned, very juicy and so delicious. The gyros and burger are without question imo the best in TX. Ekko's and Nick The Greek are 2nd n 3rd for Greek food for me. I always got the gyros sandwich as opposed to the plate before which is odd bc I always prefer meat plates over sandwich form in other foods like bbq, steak, etc. The meat pieces were all really tasty and had some slight char to them too. The taziki sauce is always cold, creamy in feel and refreshing with a good yogurt aroma to it. It's a great bonus and the gyros didn't even need it tbh. The tomatoes were nicely refreshing and the exotic, cool center dolma is always a little treat with meals here. The rice and chunky lemon potatoes with my meals were always mild but still great in texture and prep. As I said before; from my experiences in every single Greek cafe, if the taziki sauce is good, the gyros will be too. It's a solid symptom and indicator imo. As for the burger, very rarely are burger places only in TX actually any good for the past 15 years. So many are just average or below lacking seasoning or a great overall flavor. Niko Niko's, Goode Company Hamburgers and TX Hamburger Palace are my top 3 in that order for it. Each different too. The brioche buns were just the right thickness and very soft to make the beef patty stick out well. The patty was so nice in charbroiled taste, saltiness, richness, beefiness and tender in every bite. A good burger doesn't need much in toppings, but cool, refreshing, tomatoes are a must for me and pickles add some tangy crunch too. For steak rare, but for a burger medium to medium rare. I had never seen or heard of their Greek Spaghetti n Meat Sauce before. This was like a Greek Bolognese with a lot of love in its flavor. The noodles were drained, very moist and so soft. I don't like too much cheese, so I took some off, but still like some. The meat sauce gravy itself was really flavorful, savory, fatty enough and had that subtle sweet, warm spice aroma you get in the Greek lasagna. I like to get dessert here sometimes when I have extra room, bc they have some great options like their galaktobourreko, chocolate ganache cake, etc. The service was very welcoming, friendly and efficient on these visits.

    Haven't been back for awhile and this place has consistency on food. It was good as usual…read more Service was nice too

    Been meaning to try this place but it was not at the top of my list. I was finally able to visit…read morethis restaurant last Thursday. The place is new but not recently new, so I was impress that they were still attracting a crowd. The place was packed and busy but the host was still able to seat us immediately. With reservation, of course. Our seat was a banquet seating and when the host directed us to our table, we notice the party seated next to our table had placed all their personal belongings on our seats. We had to ask the host to ask them to remove their personals so that we can sit down. I felt that the host should have done that and not upon our request. Our server was Keamogetswe and she jumped right into explaining the menu since it was our first time. I am used to ordering drinks first and while waiting for our drinks, explore the food menu. That way, we can ask questions about any item we were unfamiliar with on the menu. Anyways, we ordered our food and they came out very fast. For starters, we had the grilled shrimp which was just two shrimps. They were not prawns so the size of the two shrimps for $18 was not worth it to me. We also tried the Rumi's wings. They were average to me. Nothing to brag about. For the main course, we wanted to try several dishes and settle for a family style meal. We had the braised lamb shank, chicken kabob and the Koobideh Kabob. Since all plates came with rice, Keamogetswe suggest we try different rice options which was a great suggestion. So for the rice, we had the Adas, the Baghali and the Shirin. I have to admit that the braised lamb was amazing. The stew it sat in was very flavorful and the meat melted off the bone it came with. The Koobideh was also another favorite of mine. Both, I highly recommend everyone to try. And my favorite rice was the Shirin. As we moved on to dessert, we had the burnt honey & pistachio cake and the persian ice cream sandwich. Both taste great but the persian ice cream sandwich itself was vanilla wafer. Different but it made it easier to eat with your fingers. The weird thing was when the dessert was served to us, so was the check. I am used to us eating dessert or just starting to enjoy dessert before being handed the check. And when they do hand me the check, they would mention that it was no rush and when I am ready to take care of it. But that didn't happen and I decided to get it out of the way so I can just enjoy the dessert. As we were conversing and finishing our drinks, they started to clear our table and even picked up the signed check or tab. It felt like they were hinting us to get up. I feel that if there was a time frame to dine with them, they should have made us aware of it before dinner or when we made reservation like how Toca Madera does. So that made me feel uncomfortable. But this could just be me.
