Great place to enjoy Middle East’s delicious cuisine. Love the chicken shawarma sandwich. You can find here a variety imported food products and drinks. Last, but not least the owner is a great cook.
Best pita bread on planet earth. Every trip to Houston includes a stop at Droubi's. You CANNOT have just one shawarma. I also order over the phone from Albuquerque, NM to have the bread delivered to me. Thank you Droubi family.

It is an old place. Been at this location for years. Still has the best bread, spinach pies, pastries. The old man is nice as can be.

Excellent food, we come for the bakery every time we are in town!! Thankfully they still have this location open, it would break my heart if they closed.

The place is being renovated, but the food is fire ?. 5 ⭐️. Prices are good and the lady making the gyros is very kind.

I shop here weekly and have nothing but good things to say. Mostly I purchase pita bread (in varying sizes) along with Zaatar Manakeesh. The bread is always fresh, delicious and well priced. They also have the ability to take orders for large purchases if you need it for an event or just have a large family. For other items I would recommend the date maamoul , labneh, hot sauce, or tabouli which are all made in house. Droubis also carries various mediterranean cheeses so I make sure to grab some from their deli. The owner and staff are great people and I always enjoy the conversations I have with them.

I have met Abid in 1989, he never knew me but I used to come to eat shawerma and date pastry, back then it WAS the best, so I decided me and my son to visit him, coming from California dreaming about the shawerma I had back in the days , oh what a shock! !NOT ONE CUSTOMER INSIDE ! ,he does NOT even make meat shawerma !!!! HUH WHAT?? , he gets precooked yērōs or whatever it is and puts it up on a shawerma burner to warm it up, unbelievable, he tried to convince me it is a real good meat lol, saw the chicken shawerma and decided to try it, it looked totally uncooked so he cut it from the burner and threw it on the grill like a stir fry lol is this how shawerma should be made lol??, not only that but he kept adding veggie oil to it on the grill, yes ON THE GRILL, OIL?? , I did not open my mouth, then he over cooked the pita bread to make it hard, MIH Man I am HUNGRY,ok lets try it, I was so hungry and had 2 for me and my son, did NOT taste like shawerma , it had no spices and dry from the grilling ,did taste like a grilled Fajita or stir fried chicken lol, so my son wanted to have lamb shanks and grape leaves, boy what another shocking experience lol, Abid complimented CANNED grape leaves lol, what a joke, it is Canned lol Not even made by a HUMAN lol, it was AWFUL, then the lamb shanks, VERY stale and has a game aroma and sulphuric smell, like rotten eggs since it has been sitting for a while, so I decided to order the date pastry, OMG that is NOT the same one I tasted in the 80s, it is almost BURNED, DRY, Little Dates inside and alot of FLOUR and Butter, AWFUL FOOD ABID !!!! He kept telling me celebrities come to eat at his place , We did NOT see any Picture of anyone eating at his place, Abid you are 82 , time to retire , sell the place and RETIRE ASAP! Abid kept insisting on asking me to learn how to retire like ME, I am 57 and yes I am retired, Abid is a successful Business man, VERY wealthy, yet does NOT know how to retire?? lol. I am confused, The only reason I am giving this place 2 stars instead of BELOW ZERO STARS is becasue Abid was a Nice person to me now, friendly and pleasant and a chatter to me, oh before I forget, the bill was HAND WRITTEN like we do in Damascus in the 60s lol,. The Cashier 'His Wife" totally lacks Customer Service Skills, No 'please', No 'thank you', No 'smile', very Grumpy . So we paid $34.80 for 2 shawerma on the grill lol sandwiches, one plate lamb shanks, one yogurt drink, 4 date pastry, YOU JUDGE, the next day we went to Jerusalem Halal Meats at 3330 Hillcroft St, Houston, TX 77057, ordered 4 REAL shawerma , 4 kabab Beef On the charcoal totaling $40. Masha ALLAH THE BEST SHAWERMA I HAVE EVER HAD IS AT Jerusalem Halal Meats, you will never regret it, Allah yebarek the place is full of patrons and it is Vivid. Sorry Abid We are in America and we all tell the truth, the whole truth and Nothing but the truth.

Needed fresh pita for a recipe and found this bakery. Stopped in and was able to quickly pick out a pack. It was affordable and everyone enjoyed it.
