Middle Eastern Restaurants in Houston, TX

“Absolutely amazing restaurant! We go as often as we can! Everything is absolutely delicious and the staff is wonderful!“

“We wanted kebabs but didn't wanna drive to Hillcroft. I found this restaurant and had great reviews. We gave it a try....they did not disappoint. Stepping out of the car and smelling the aroma of their kitchen, OMG! We ordered Adana Kebab and trust me we're going back.

The only downside is the parking, it's very limited.“

“This is my favorite Mediterranean spot in Houston! The hummus is creamy, and the baba ghanoush is perfectly smoky. The BYOP model is a blast; you can customize your meal just how you like it. The welcoming staff adds to the great experience. I highly recommend it!“

“We had date night here and it was amazing. We had the best waitress ever, Bema was so attentive and nice. We will return because of her. The food was so good too. We had the mix grill, the meat was so tender and large portions!!! The atmosphere is very cute too“

“Came here to try th shawarmas and they were great. Chicken and beef kebab.

The palstenian coffee was given to us to try and we normally don't like black coffee. This was so tasty with cardamom. It was not bitter at all. Amazing. Extra bonus for being a local business ??.

Will absolutely be coming back.“

“Did a search for good Greek food in the Pasadena area and this place showed. Drove from Deer Park to pick up lunch, and it did not disappoint. I got a mixed plate with beef and chicken...wonderful. The food is great, atmosphere is nice and clean, and the staff are very friendly. I will be coming back!!“

“I travel for food and have lived in Saudi Arabia and thr UAE. This resturant serves the most authentic rice dishes I've come across outside the middle east. The food is served with generous portions and very comfortable atmosphere. A place to go down to that will take you back home to your mothers kitchen.“

“Recently visited! , and I was blown away by the experience! The shawarma was incredibly flavorful, with fresh ingredients and perfectly balanced spices that made every bite delicious. The staff was friendly and attentive, going above and beyond to make sure I had a great experience, specifically one I met, Omar! I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic and delicious Shawarma. Firema is the best!!“

“Great food and always quick. Very reasonable prices, cheaper than going out to get a burger at most places. The hummus and pita is good, the fries are usually well spiced. The gyro sandwiches with fries is usually what I go for. I eat here almost every week. I recommend it a lot“

““The best burger spot in Houston! This food truck is an absolute gem. The burgers are incredibly delicious, the ingredients are fresh, and the service is quick and efficient. The prices are very reasonable, making it a perfect choice for anyone on a budget. The young man working at the truck is exceptionally polite, professional, and maintains a high level of cleanliness. If I could, I’d give this place 100 stars. Highly recommend!”“

“Great food and atmosphere. Highly recommend“

“My first time at this place, came to visit from the valley and the reason that made me come is all these great reviews that I read. They had a full house with a huge buffet for Ramadan with almost every Mediterranean dish you can think of. The food was the best Mediterranean I ever had, the atmosphere was amazing, the service was superb, the decor was beautiful. The owner Mohamad made sure to come and check on me, sit with me and made feel like I’m home, very hospitable. Thank you Fairouz for a great experience.“

“Food and customer service was top tier!!! I honestly cannot describe how great this was! First time visiting on a business trip but I will be back!“

“Great spot to chill, drink tea, and smoke hookah. Really excellent food, too.“

“Shawarma both chicken and beef, great taste and value. Restaurant is on right and cashier on left. Fast service eat in or take out.
Halal grocery store with huge number of spices and middle eastern products as well.
Owner is legitimately friendly and gracious.“

“Abu Omar Halal is a fantastic spot! The food is amazing—always fresh, flavorful, and authentic. The prices are great for the quality, and the portions are generous. Plus, they’re open late, which makes it super convenient for a late-night bite. Parking is decent, so it’s usually easy to find a spot. Highly recommend for anyone craving delicious halal food in Houston!“

“My husband and I and our two children visited this Yemeni restaurant today, we are Palestinian and have never tried Yemeni food, we wanted to try something new and we were not disappointed. My husband ordered the grilled fish and it was the star, it was delicious! I had the Mandi chicken and it was so flavorful and tender. The Mandi rice was very good, especially with the tomato sauce and yogurt sauce. They had chicken nuggets and French fries for the kids. We also had the fattoush which I felt was lacking but not bad, it was fresh. Hummus was very good. My favorite part was the complimentary tea, very tasty. Our host and waiter was genuinely kind and attentive.“

“Used them for catering at a work event today. needless to say - it was utterly fantastic!!!! And they delivered. Fares was awesome to work with. If you are looking for awesome and authentic Lebanese style food, please go here. you will not be disappointed.“

“Our first trip here and it did not disappoint. Heard of this place on the Local Eats with Chris Shepherd tv show. The fried chicken and grilled lamb chops are a must! We will most definitely be going back! #localeats #chrisshepherd“

“I loved the service; the environment was very clean and beautiful as well i had their rice and chicken kebabs and the chicken especially was soooo goood.“

“My parents recommended the Fajita Burger from FilFila, and I was not disappointed!It is a very large sandwich, with delicious, fresh ingredients. FilFila's house sauce is very flavorful, as well.When you receive the sandwich, it can be a little daunting due to its size. But the enjoyment really begins when you take your first bite. Beware, however, as the sandwich is always piping hot!I once tried the falafel wrap and was very underwhelmed by it, however.Finally, the owner is extremely nice, courteous, and really takes care of his customers.PSA: this truck stays closed throughout the month of Ramadan.“

“Fantastic and fresh food I recommend it and give it a try“

“Really good food, perfect for a fast dinner or even lunch time, my boyfriend had the beef sandwich, I had the chicken wrap, with some falafels to share! Falafels were my fave and also a good pistachio baklava for dessert. Very nice customer service and not pricy at all! Really recommend“

“10/10. Food was amazing, great service. I tried the falafel and it was the best I’ve ever had.“

“De lo mejor de la comida persian 100% saludable 100% recomendado“

“I swear to God, Abu Omar, I don’t know what to tell you, but I ask God to bless you with the broadest doors. It has been two years since I entered America and lived in Michigan. I did not eat shawarma like the old ones until the day I went to Houston and said I would try it and it came out better than expectations.
May God bless you and the young people in the restaurant. The least that can be said about them is that they are very respectful
We hope to see you in Michigan
Thank you“

“Food quality reasonable price great service. Thanks“
