    Decided to try Shawarma for the 1st time. What better way than to go to this location. I've read bad reviews about this place but I wanted to give them a chance and try them out. Well the food was really good. I got 2 sandwiches, Falafel and Gyro. The Falafel was a bit dry for my liking but the flavor was surprisingly good. The Gyro was really good. I was surprisingly ok with pickles in my sandwich, it really went well with the gyro and the tzatziki. The customer service was very good. It was only 2 people when I went there and the food was done in a timely manner. One of my sandwiches came with fries and a drink. The fries was perfectly crispy and seasoned. This is a very beautiful place to say the least. The decor isn't expensive but beautiful. I will be back soon.

    I drove by this area daily and finally able to stop by. They have a spacious patio and the inside is nice considering in a gas station. Food wise was nahhhh... and price range is consider high for a place like this (fastfood option)

    Great spot for Shawarma, chicken tenders and smoothies connected to a convenience store / gas station and open until 1am most days. The owner was also saying that they used to serve and make chocolate three years ago (hence the "chocolatier" in their sign) but they stopped. Small but cozy interior as well. Recommended!

    Up until a few months ago, Shawarma Stop easily one of my most frequented late night spots in all of H-Town. This place was swimming with potential: a fairly extensive outdoor setup, a pretty good array of quality foods, and open super late. Since it shares the space with a gas station convenience store, it's the perfect spot to grab a bite after pumping some gas. Then, new ownership took it over and it's been a steady decline ever since. For folks who were familiar with the previous operation, there have been a number of changes: -- They're no longer open as late. It's no longer a 4AM destination but instead a place that closes just before midnight. (Last order at 11:30PM) -- A lot of menu items are no longer being served. Fondue. Burgers. Crepes. Waffles. Many of which exist on the menu but are no longer being served in actuality. In fact, the fondue / sweets are is completely empty now. -- Much of the (Lebanese) teas are also no longer served. Now they've brought in a Community Coffee iced tea dispenser; tackily sitting in the corner. It was a little sticky when I last used it. (i.e. someone needs to clean this station often). -- The buzzers are gone. Now it's just call in and order and that's it. -- At one point the hookahs were an attraction, but I don't see any offered anymore. For the food that is served, it's a hodgepodge of mediocrity. The shawarma wrap that I used to love has now become a mushy, flavorless concoction. The meat didn't taste too fresh and the sauce was a little overbearing. After a few bites, it got a little gross. The same goes for the lamb. Hummus was also a huge thumbs down. My mixed grill platter was probably the best thing I had from here, but even at $23 for a modest portion, was not memorable. I do genuinely feel for the people working here. Part of me wants to sympathize with the sinking ship, but the execution is extremely disappointing. While I hope they can rebound, I'm not likely to muster another visit here for a long while.

    My husband and I eat a lot of Mediterranean food, and there are a lot of options near our home. We usually get gyro king or gyro hut, but seeing as this place is so close I figured I'd try them out as well. Menu options are very similar to above restaurants, and we got gyro over rice and salad. The gyro meat is pretty good- more heavy on cinnamon than most places which I actually like. Food was done relatively quickly and service was good. Their prices are a couple dollars higher than other places and overall I liked them just a bit less. The food here is fine but I think I will stick with my usual spots for Mediterranean. Of note, I did see a sign that says they serve halal for those who are interested.

    Here for a routine MDA hospital visit for my husband , we stopped at this very small corner cafe - I ordered a chicken Shawarma - side of beets and Baklava for dessert. Food was freshly prepared and full of flavor - truly enjoyed every bite of my meal.The baklava square was good, the baklava roll was not as good in my opinion... I will return again .... I have had better baklava , I will go back again to try another entree. We purchased combo , but forgot to get our drinks!!! If you try this place out, I suppose you get the drinks out of cooler, they do not give them to you. Just FYI

    I would say they make good chicken shawarma and cheeseburger in overall. I would prefer kofta plate but I would have to wait 12-15 min for that, so we chose wraps and burger for a child. Taste was good but chicken was dryish. It was not juicy at all and sauce was not as light, I assume they use lots of mayo instead of yogurt or labne. Was nice little stop spot for a quick bite.

    Mango juice packaged/ delivered in a bag. Spilled all over the bag and on my food. Very careless!

    This place has HORRIBLE customer service!! I ordered on Door Dash and they sent my drink IN THE BAG with my food. It spilled all over the bag and my food. I also specifically called and asked for extra garlic sauce and they STILL only sent ONE garlic sauce. I also received NO PITA BREAD with my order even though the menu clearly says that the meal comes with Pita Bread. The food here is also not great. The lentil soup was very watery and way too salty. The chicken was dry, and the rice was not fresh. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE. I will NEVER order from here again.

    Having been to Greece, I have an idea of what's authentic and Athena's is the best Greek restaurant…read morein town! I'm surprised I hadn't reviewed them yet, it's our family's go to Greek spot. Friendly atmosphere and service! Great for both dates AND family (as seemingly only Greek and Italian places do best). Of course I can't go to a Greek restaurant and not start with appetizers. Their feta and olives are fantastic! For a main, try their lamb shank-- super tender and flavorful.

    I had the lamb shank for lunch one day with my chosen side dish of Greek potatoes for $23. The meal…read morecame with a nice side salad to start along with some buttered bread. When the entree arrived I thought the lamb shank looked small. Taste wise it was good but I have had better. Also the potatoes were as advertised however their appearance and taste to me was average. If I ordered this meal again I would order another side dish perhaps the rice. This meal was a 3.5. Another visit was for dinner was to try the Kokkinisto entree for $21. Again this meal comes with the same enjoyable side salad with bread and I chose the Briami as the supplied side dish. The Kokkinisto (Greek beef stew) arrived on a bed of rice and covered in its herbed tomato sauce with garlic and onions. The Briami was in a separate bowl of stewed veggies in a light tomato sauce. I liked this meal better. The stew had good flavor with tender beef and a tasty red sauce. Also the veggies were good tasting too. I gave this meal a 4. Finally the waitress was very friendly. I believe her name was Jennifer? I like this restaurant and believe they serve good tasting and authentic Greek food.

Only one other table was occupied, and someone who seemed to be the owner warmly greeted my group of 5 with some menus and an offer for Turkish coffee and tea. The lunch special is quite generous, and includes a wide array of starters and entrees. With 5 people, we tried 5 different appetizers and 5 different entrees and got a good sampling of their menu. The chicken shish kebab, falafel, lamb kebab, and menemen were all well seasoned and paired nicely with the many dishes of rice, salad, and flatbread they all came with. The lentil soup was also delicious. I was with my parents, who really only have a desire to eat East and Southeast Asian food, but they still enjoyed our meal here, which is saying a lot.

    Istanbul was an average experience for me. There are very limited vegetarian options and I was sad…read moreto see that falafel sandwiches are only offered until 4pm. The only two entrees I could see were a falafel plate and a cheese pida for vegetarians. I opted for the the cheese pida and a salad as I felt like my dinner needed some vegetables. The salad was plain tasting consisting of a lemon based dressing and cubes of tomato, cucumber, bell pepper. The dressing was not strong and I wished it had more flavor. I took it home and added my own dressing from home the next day. It's unfortunate that they charge an additional $1.50 for feta cheese which would have elevated the salad flavor. The cheese pide was good and a very large portion size. I wish there were some vegetables added however. The dough was delicious. Istanbul grill does make good bread. The pita bread was also good, very soft, and tasted fresh. It was busy on a Saturday night. Decor is minimal inside and ambiance was family friendly. Most of the tables were families with children. I will note that the interior was on the warmer side for a November night. Overall likely would not return just because of limited vegetarian food.
