“Great food and good service. Nice ambiance as there are two big patios and tables are spread out so your not sitting to close to others. They do sell hookah but the smoke wasn't overwhelming like some other establishments and plus the patio is wide and open. No alcoholic drinks but some very tasty mocktails. I subtracted one star due to the valet being so unorganized.“

“It was a lovely experience. We got to test the meats while unsure what to opt for. The sauce was a little spicy but as it is not to be ranked for. I'm just weak nature. The staff was friendly and kind and didn't come check on me with my mouth full which I appreciate immensely.“

“Kasra Persian Grill has superb tasting food, beautiful atmosphere, top notch service, and generous portions. This is about our fourth time eating here, and we devoured the hot pita with amazingly tasty hummus. Then I decided to try something different and had chicken when my wife had ground beef with salad. We love this restaurant!“

“Ordered the mixed (beef and chicken) sandwich it was very good. The fries portion is very big, meal came with a lot of sauce at no extra cost. Falafel was good. The star of the show though was definitely the BAKLAVA! Restaurant was also clean service was fast and staff was polite.“

“Inside is very plain and uninviting. Outdoor patio was nice. Music was loud and in general not good. Need Mediterranean music. Friendly and helpful server. Lots of variety on the menu. Meat with good flavor, moist and not overcooked. Fresh veggies. Good flavor in the sauce. Some things feel overpriced though. I would return. :)“

“Our family of ten folks thoroughly enjoyed the food! We were recommended to try the tasting menu - and it was a hit! We got to sample so many of the delicious appetizers and entrees and we all were stuffed. Highly recommend the food and service - we were treated like family.“

“I was looking for a good shawarma wrap and someone told me about a cafe on Dairy Ashford but this place had better reviews and was closer, so we tried them out. The 3 meat mixed grill plate was delicious and well cooked at medium. The chicken steak mixed shawarma wrap was pretty good. The meat was a little dry, but I mixed the hot sauce with the garlic sauce and it was tastier. My husband ordered the stuffed grape leaves, but I thought they were mushy. We also got the Mediterranean fries which were mid. They were freezer fries with a lot of raw garlic and lemon tossed on them--very soggy but not bad. Just disappointing. The hummus was mid as well. Not bad--just average. My husband couldn't resist getting 2 slices of cheesecake: one with fruit and without. They were your standard restaurant ones. The owner was very nice and threw in extra pilaf and pita; this place has potential and is worth trying. I just want more from them given the competition. Honestly it's a 3.5 because of the hummus.“

“This food is to die for. It was our first time and the staff was extremely friendly helping us navigate the ordering process. Everything we ordered was perfect and the pita was the best we've ever had. I enjoyed crafting each bite individually with different sides and proteins; the flavor combinations seemed endless! I don't live in Houston, so unfortunately I'll have to dream about this food until we get a chance to come back.“

“Our 7-mile trek through Terry Hershey Park left us famished, craving a brunch that could conquer any post-hike emptiness. Thankfully, Cafe Benedicte on Memorial Drive swooped in like a brunchtime hero.The aroma of deliciousness hit us as soon as we stepped inside. We dove straight into their menu, and let me tell you, Cafe Benedicte did not disappoint. Their Meat Lovers Skillet was a symphony of flavors, overflowing with perfectly seasoned meats. My friend who ordered the braised lamb shank couldn't stop raving about its melt-in-your-mouth tenderness after craving for it in the past 3 weeks! And the grilled lamb chops? Very thankful a friend let us try his chops order. Let's just say not a single morsel remained on the plate.But the true stars of the show were the staff. Attentive, friendly, and always helpful, they made us feel like brunch royalty. By the time we left, our appetites were sated, our spirits high, and we were already planning our next visit. Cafe Benedicte gets a ten out of ten from our happy (and full) hiking crew. I highly recommend it to anyone searching for a phenomenal brunch experience.“

“There is no other place that brings Israeli food to Houston like this!!! First of all it is clean which is very important to me that this is homemade food, secondly you can see that the owner of the place does everything with love and from the heart and this is also reflected in the taste of the food so thank you for delicious food and the affordable price.I will definitely come back again!“

“Finally was able to try Big Bite and so glad I did. I ordered the chicken shawarma wrap and a gyro. Both were very good with lots of meat and the classic flavors you are looking for. Meat was tender, juicy and not over salted. Sauces were all great and the chili sauce had a nice little kick.Luckily, the owner showed up while I was there because he told me that the ‘over rice’ things are what they are know for. He hooked me up with a sample that blew me away with that flavor packed rice. That is the way to go. Excellent!! You don’t have to be out at the bars to stop by and grab some grub. So make a stop!“

“Very well maintained place with good service ,beef kaboob was ever juicy and tender but only thing lacking is any kind of seasoning or dressing, even the salad was without any dressing . If they can add some seasoning or any sauce or Barbecue onion with the rice , it will give more flavor to food . Overall my family didn’t like much due to lack to any flavor except that meat was tender and Juicy .“

“The Ramadan iftar at Ayintap Mediterranean Grill was absolutely splendid! The food was exquisite, and the ambiance was incredibly serene. The staff were courteous and attentive, making our evening truly enjoyable. Bulent Chef went above and beyond by personally preparing and serving me the spicy kebab from the menu in a mild, non-spicy version. It was a thoughtful gesture that made my dining experience at Ayintap Mediterranean Grill truly exceptional. I appreciated the extra attention to my preferences. Had a wonderful time with my wife. Can't wait to return for more culinary delights!“

“Excellent beef suya sandwich and sweet potatoes fries, but pricy. Menu prices are not updated so look in the website for current prices. The difference is about $10. Gratuity of 20% is included even if you are only 1 person. I spent $39 for an excellent hamburger with sweet potatoes fries and 1 beer. ?, but only 1 person.“

“This restaurant is amazing. I really enjoyed my food. I ordered the half grain and half greens bowl with braised lamb and falafel. The breeze lamb was juicy and delicious and the falafel was awesome. The cucumber mint lemonade is to die for. This place based on food would be a 10 out of 10, but because the service was not great I had to takeoff a star. I would recommend knowing what you want before you come here because the staff was a little impatient with me asking a couple of questions (I have allergies so I have to ask).“

“Hands down, the best Dimassi's location is in Katy! I've tried three other locations, but the falafel at this spot is ( Chef’s kiss ? you hear me) - tender, moist, and utterly delicious. Great options, everything is freshly cooked and prepared to perfection. Shout out to Rana, she makes you feel welcomed. Been here everyday this week.“

“This is a laid back family style place that is so delicious. There are some food items that are a little different than the Mediterranean food we are all seen. It’s fairly priced and all the recipes are flavorful fresh and fun to try. Love this place. And pretty day on the patio. This is a great place to be!“

“Chicken Charmoula bowl. The food here is good, the chicken is tender and the food tastes very fresh. However, the protein portion is pretty small. Not the same case for the sides or rice, but the protein portion is quite small, which is why I gave 4 stars. If the protein portion increases, this would be my go to lunch spot!“

“Start to finish this was an outstanding dining experience. My wife and I selected the chefs menu option as well as the wine pairing. We received multiple types of hummus, baba ganoush, dips, sauces, and breads, amazing meat board with lamb and octopus as well as salad and an Israeli tiramisu dish. Each course was paired with generous samplings of wines from around the world. if you haven't been at this place it's a must try especially if you like Mediterranean food. The atmosphere is classy however it's very family friendly. Service was outstanding, and the general manager even came to our table and introduced herself, as well as brought extra samples of wine that truly made the experience special.“

“It is impossible to not get full at Niko Nikos. The food is amazing and has so much flavor. I ordered the dolmathes plate and it came with a side and a Greek salad. My group ordered appetizers so I could hardly make a dent in my own food. Again, amazing flavor and huge portions. If I’m ever back in Houston I know where I’m eating.“

“A group of 8 of us came and glad we picked this place to have lunch.Kids preferred double rice and I got the gyro beef. Staff is friendly and accommodating as we were trying to figure out if the kids wanted vegetables or toppings (parent life).Very generous with the white sauce and actually asked if we wanted more while we dined, which was very sweet of her.Remember to download the app and scan your account at checkout. We forgot and the app doesn’t allow for receipt scans.Clean store, quick service, and the order ahead feature someone used seemed pretty quick.Only suggestion would be to find a way to keep the rice and meat a bit hotter (temperature).“

“We had recently gotten married at the wine cellar here, followed by the nine course menu with the Premium wine pairing. We were beyond pleased with every aspect of the evening. The food was phenomenal. The wine was wonderful, and so perfectly paired. And to top it off, the service was outstanding. Also, watch out! The bar makes such tasty drinks! You would think you wouldn’t drink more in addition to a 9 course wine paring…but the cocktails were so fabulous we just kept drinking up!We couldn’t be more grateful to Mae, who helped us coordinate the evening weeks before. She is very lovely and helpful. And the night wouldn’t be what it was without Cody… He led us through the cocktail room down to the wine cellar, and then to the private room for the remainder of our evening. He has amazing personality, I felt like he was part of our party!Thank you so much for making our evening perfect!“

“You are going to love this place. If you are in Houston or visiting Houston and want your palette to try something else beside the usual burger or hotdog I recommend Pasha Turkish Restaurant. The ambiance is charming and clean. If you want to eat outside they provide a small area to sit and enjoy your food. If you are in a date night stop by Pasha and treat them to a delicious meal.“

“If you're looking for a quick bite this place is where you need to visit if you're wanting to eat something different than the local fast food in this area!! People are friendly restaurant is cozy and quiet. I eat lunch here and This Old House is playing on the television in the corner. The menu is easy to read food is always hot and you get a bottled drink with the special. Today In the photos I ordered a lamb gyro with salad and added dolmades. I'm never disappointed with the food here..“

“Absolutely delicious food! Best lamb gyro I've ever had, the quality and quantity is mesmerizing.They recently moved to their new location and took out the Wael's burger from the menu which was my boyfriend's and friend's favorite, very sad about that, that would be the only negative thing to say, I hope they bring it back soon.Otherwise absolutely amazing!“

“Me and my family went there after a day at the Rodeo. I ordered the Island Greek Salad, which was delicious! I think my husband ordered a burger, and my mom, I think the Caesar Salad with Cod. At first, they forgot to add the cod to my mom's salad, and she had to wait a while for them to bring it out, but other than that, it was pretty good! It looked like a good place to get healthy food. I'd probably go there again if I'm in the area.“

“It matters to me, how employees are treated by their management. Where I spend my money matters especially now. An employee was serving a client ahead of me in a To-go platter. As he serves the gentleman. A man, about 5’10, black curly hair, in a fitted well ironed stripped long sleeve button up with black slacks came around to “help” as I assumed. But instead he grabs the platter out of the employees hand as he towers over him, looks him up and down, SCOFFS, and his facial expression didn’t match the situation, it was discuss and distain. Mind you, it was about tabouli being put in a place in the To-Go box. This happened in front of me, and in front of another client. He says nothing to the employee but an eye roll. And proceeds to serve the other client. Why does it matter? Why do I care? I have worked in the food industry my whole life, and just like that man treated the employee I too was treated in such ways. If you don’t understand, I’m sorry you have lived a life of convenience and haven’t had to experience being mistreated. The food is excellent the, the place is clean. The only thing that is lacking, is their humanity. Do better. Be kinder.“

“Lots of options for lunch: variety of salad options, dips with the thick bread, lots of different meats in rice and as sides, and a few different sweet options. Can't go wrong with the baklava and square looking plain cane/bread thing. I didn't care for the orange looking dessert. Babaganoush and variety of hummus and tabouli was great. The fried cauliflower was really good too with the slices of meat I assume is beef. I had some chicken/ drumsticks in the rice mix and one in a tomato broth that was good and juicy. Love dark meat not the dry chicken breasts. Only dry meat with the skewer type/ kabob. It was ok. There's no lamb shank. At least not for their lunch buffet. The drink option had a pink drink I think is a Rose drink of sort.“

“Great food, great service, wines are reasonably priced. There is a $12 corkage fee if you bring your own. Only minor annoyance, and it's something they have no control over, is if you're seating outside there is a very active freight railroad track right next to the building. Some might be annoyed.“

“Dimitri was our server tonight and he was spectacularly good. There are very few places at all with service as good as what Athena's displayed. I rarely write reviews, but Dimitri was in particular so notable I had to.Athena's creates a food experience that exemplifies the word family. Great home style food, fresh and hearty, with a delectably satisfying taste; atmosphere like a reunion or a wedding; all with personal and perfectly attentive service. Somewhere between, and including, a place you could take a first date or the neighborhood staple spot - Athena's is a top tier dining experience in every aspect.“
