    First time here.. customer service is superb food is delicious. I had the combo plate with kafta and chicken. Everything is delicious. The hummus and great salad also superb and portions are filling. Will definitely return.

    If I could give more than five stars, I would. The Rush Mediterranean Grill is easily one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. The restaurant is spotless--everything from the dining area to the kitchen is exceptionally clean, which immediately sets the tone for the quality you're about to enjoy. The owner is one of the most attentive and welcoming hosts I've ever met. You can feel the pride he takes in his business, and it shows in every detail--from how he checks on guests to the care that goes into each dish. Now the food... absolutely phenomenal. We sampled a wide spread, and every single item was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The highlights: * Baba ghanouj -- smoky, silky, and packed with flavor. * Falafel -- perfectly crispy on the outside, tender inside. * Chicken shawarma & chicken kebab -- juicy, seasoned perfectly, and cooked with real skill. * Kofta -- rich, savory, and incredibly well-spiced. * Tzatziki -- cool, refreshing, and full of fresh herbs. * Hummus -- unbelievably creamy and easily some of the best I've ever had. * Baklava -- the perfect sweet finish, flaky and delicious. * Safeeha -- we didn't get a picture of this one, but it deserves a shout-out because it was amazing as well! We included photos of almost everything we ordered, because this food looks as good as it tastes. If you love authentic Mediterranean cuisine--or even if you just appreciate high-quality, thoughtfully prepared food--The Rush Mediterranean Grill is a must-visit. Between the warm hospitality, pristine environment, and unforgettable flavors, this place is a true gem. I'm already planning my next visit!

    Amazing food! Everything tasted great, fresh and authentic. It did take some time to come out but they told us that ahead of time and the food was worth the wait. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star was because the food was pretty pricey and it mostly felt like a takeout place inside. For the price we paid I would have preferred a better interior feel, it wasn't really inviting to sit and eat but like I said, the food was really good.

    I tried this place on a whim. From the moment I entered, I was greeted and patiently walked through options. I loooove Mediterranean (Middle Eastern) cuisine, and I was hungry so I was hoping for great food. The Rush Mediterranean Grill did not disappoint, their food was absolutely delicious! The food was fresh and the flavors were exciting. I can't wait to go back again!

    We had to get dinner late again last night and so happy they close at 9:30! The owner, Victor to the dinner rescue! My husband ordered his usual combo plate and I tried the lamb kabob plate and wow! It's now my favorite! It's seasoned and perfectly cooked medium rare!

    i was craving mediterranean food and decided to stumble into The Rush. i ordered the veggie samosas, chicken kabob plate and a frozen mint lemonade to wash it all down. the samosas were fried to perfection, not too greasy and very flavorful. the chicken kabob plate was amazing!!! the chicken was fresh and tender with the perfect amount of char. the rice melted in your mouth with how soft it was. the tabouli was very fresh. never had it before but i was eating it by the spoonful!! the hummus was SO good and creamy. my favorite thing about the plate, in my opinion. i didn't ask but i know it had to be made in house because it was that good! the frozen mint lemonade was not too bad either. i'd much rather it unfrozen but it was perfect amount of refreshing, sweet and tart. this place definitely exceeded my expectations and i'll definitely be back!!! 10/10 :)

    Fresh and delicious food . I had the chicken shawarma player with Greek salad and humus .

    Falafel Plate
    Alena B.

    Came across this Mediterranean restaurant not far from my side of town. They have a plates and sandwiches to choose from which include falafel, beef, chicken, & kofta. There's also a lot of sides like fries, tabouli, sfeeha, & baba ghanoush. It's a small space inside but you can dine in or get to go. The falafel plate that I had definitely matched the price & was very fresh. The falafel tasted like it just came out of the fryer. The hummus & pita bread were delightful as well as it came with tabouli & baba ghanoush. I would definitely come back. All of the staff were so nice and helpful. The food came out fast, wasn't much of a wait.

    Hair on dolma, size of ice tea is very small for the price.
    Eva G.

    Experience was not good. My Shawarma plate was tasty, but that was the only positive. There was a hair in the Dolma, my husband said the lamb in the gyro tasted spoiled and they charged $3.50 for a 6 Oz ice tea cup.

    The food was tasty given the time of night we went. The service was good. The owner remembered a couple from a few days ago who had placed a to-go order and noticed that they had forgotten something. He offered them an alternative. The ambiance was good, clean, and welcoming quiet.

We try to support local Kingwood are restaurants and hadn't been to Union Kitchen in quite a while. We arrived and asked for a table for 6, the dining room was busy so they said it would be a few minutes. Then 3 more of our group we hadn't expected arrived and the hostess quickly let the servers know to make our table larger. We only had to wait 8 or 9 minutes and were seated in the side dining room which was great as it was not crowded so it was easy to talk without a lot of ambient noise from the more crowded main room. I believe one of the assistant managers began taking drink orders as our designated server was finishing up some tables nearby. She had a great sense of humor and quickly went to get our drinks. FYI, they have both an All Day menu and a lunch special one which we hadn't seen before a their website so that is an option and is a bit less expensive with smaller servings than the All Day one. As it was April 15, they had a special small Tax Day menu where everything was prices at $4.15! What a cute idea! We all ordered our lunches and soon we were enjoying what was brought out. I had the special lentil soup and the blackened salmon tacos, my wife had the 1/2 lb classic burger and the house made potato chips. Everything was excellent. Glad we stopped by for our group lunch.

We saw it online and loved the vast menu selection so we thought we'd give it a try. From the exterior, it doesn't look like much almost looks like you could be walking into a craft store or a boot barn cause it's just in a shopping mall strip center. But once you enter inside, the dark wood, the wine bottles, the lighting all creates a very nice ambience of an upscale restaurant. We were pleasantly surprised. We were just grabbing a bite to eat before a movie and this place turned out to be much nicer than me. I previously anticipated. We decided to order off of the Happy Hour menu so that we could try several things. We got the queso dip of course...because, when in Texas...We also got the crabcakes and a cheeseburger with truffle fries. They had some great drink specials, but we got ice tea instead. That was plenty of food for two of us to share. Out of the three items that we ordered off the Happy Hour menu, I would say the cheesburger was the best! The bun was small enough to not be overwhelming and the meat had a very nice barbecue taste. The crabcakes were OK as was the queso. Our waiter gave excellent service! Can't remember his name, but he was tall and I believe had dirty blonde hair. The entire meal was super yummy with excellent service and convenient. Couldn't ask for more. We definitely recommend this place. We wanted to get beignets for dessert, but we were too full to order anything else. Oh and if you go at Happy Hour, even if you're not drinking, everything on the Happy Hour menu is 50% off. Check it out!

I visited for lunch on a weekday where they have daily specials which save a few dollars off of the regular price. Upon reaching the steam table their digital display still had the previous days entrees, so I had to wait to get up to the counter to see the selection for the day which consists of 6-7 entrees. With the regular meals, you receive an entree, 2 sides, rice and cornbread. They offer tea, Pepsi products and for alcohol, it's beer, wine and daiquiris. They have loud r&b music playing in the background. I chose the "red" meatloaf (they have brown or red sauce), collards and Mac n cheese. Keep in mind they serve your food and drinks in to go packaging, regardless of whether you dine in, or get it to go. Food portions are large too. The meatloaf portion I received was large, delicious and juicy. The slice was around 2 inches thick. The mac n cheese was good, and actually ended up being my favorite item. The collards are pretty typical with a lot of vinegar and cooked for a long time. Below the meatloaf was a base of white rice and brown gravy which is basically a filler. You receive 2 cornbread muffins, which I don't really eat but I ate a couple bites and they are pretty sweet. The owner/manager was friendly and greeted me while in line, stopped by my table to check on me, and even said goodbye as I was leaving.
