Middle Eastern Restaurants near Stafford, TX

“My daughter and I came here famished while in a rush. The service was absolutely impeccable. The man here whipped us up two absolutely scrumptious sandwiches within 6 minutes and made our day. Best shawarma ever tied with best service ever. 10/10 do recommend and would love to come back again.“

“The patrons were as friendly as the staff at the food court. We will most definitely return. So many items to select it was hard making up my mind but with the help of an extremely warm and friendly customer our meal was superb. Not as familiar with the grocery items but appear to have a faithful following; it was busy.“

“Amazing service. Mouth watering. Must try“

“I really love this restaurant from the awesome service to the beautiful delicious food. Celebrated a birthday there last night and the food was awesome as well as the service. We will be back again! Love the lamb hummus and the kebabs. My friends enjoyed the restaurant and loved the food. Thank you again!“

“As a decorator it takes a lot to rate a place but this one through out the process I noticed their service. Their management. Their cleanliness. And most of all the friendliness. 5atars“

“The shawarma plate was the best Mediterranean food I have ever had… even the way the food was plated & garnished, every flavor fell together perfectly. The garlic sauce amazing, the olive oil was pristine, and of course the service was excellent! They are so kind. I have found my new spot.“

“⭐ 5/5 — The Kind of Food Truck You Follow Across the City ⭐
Shakomako isn’t just a food truck — it’s a full-blown Middle Eastern experience on wheels. From the moment you walk up, you’re greeted with aromas that hit you like a warm welcome from an Arab grandmother who insists you haven’t eaten enough.

The food? Next-level.
The shawarma is perfectly seasoned, juicy, and wrapped in warm, fluffy bread that somehow never gets soggy. Their falafel is crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and genuinely tastes like it was made with care — not rushed. And don’t even get me started on the garlic sauce… smooth, bold, and absolutely addictive. If they ever bottled it, I’d buy it by the gallon.

Portions are generous, prices are fair, and everything tastes fresh. You can tell the team behind Shakomako puts heart into every plate.

The service is just as impressive.
Friendly, fast, authentic, and welcoming — the kind of energy that makes you feel like you’ve been a regular for years. Even during a rush, they handle every order with a smile.

Bottom line:
If you’re looking for the best Arab street food around, Shakomako is the spot. It’s one of those places you try once and instantly add to your weekly rotation. An absolute gem of a truck — flavorful, memorable, and worth every mile you drive to find it.“

“You deserve more than ★★★★★

“I was out dashing really late at night, pregnant and with my 5 yr old son! I was having troubles transferring money over to pay and they told me next time and served me anyways! They are absolutely amazing and the food made my son and I want to dance! The chicken Shawarma, fries and side of peppers and veggies were delightful and everything was served beautifully! The smoky taste of the shawarma and the sauce was the best! Thank you guys so much you don’t know how much that meant to me“

“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.“

“We spent an enjoyable evening at Sayad celebrating a special birthday with coworkers. Not only was the food delicious and the presentation delightful....the service was quick and courteous too. We had over 15 individual orders . Most of the dishes were served promptly and the longer wait for the Oozy dish was well worth the time... I love the new location, the warm ambience, and pleasing decore. It was however a little complicated to find it on Google Maps😆“

“I tried New Saffron Kabob House with a recommendation from a friend. I ordered their chapli kabob. I instantly loved it. I am safe to say that it’s one of the best Afghan food in Houston! It is located in the Guatemalan town of Hillcraft. Do check it out if you want to try one of the most underrated cuisines. “afghan cuisine”“

“In the Village for the afternoon and randomly picked this restaurant for lunch. Was a beautiful day and we were seated at there covered outdoor patio. Greeted by an extremely helpful and knowledgeable waiter. Took his time to help us with the menu as this was our first time there. Hummus is home made fresh and excellent. Had a delicious Turkish pizza and can highly recommend the Doner Kebab plate. Can’t wait to return and explore more items on the menu. Exceptional service and food. Highly recommend. 🧿“

“Hi! Dr ABDUR rauf owns the practice of Normandy urgent care 779 Normandy street suite 114 Houston TX 77015 The person on this picture is actually medical assistant licensed and he is foreign graduate who got his degree in 2003, but he never passed USMLE exam. However this guys has been working in this clinic for last 4 years posing as doctor and prescribing medication to children and adults. I believe there should be strong action that should be taken against this person and the clinic as they have been lie and cheat. Also they prescribe controls substance like codine and psychiatric medication.“

“Great food and the vast array of choices was superb!!!“

“We love Bijan! We always come here when we are in town! The chicken and beef are both so tender and the saffron rice is delicious. Let’s not forget about how smooth their hummus is - it’s a top 3 hummus for me! And, for dessert we tried their saffron and pistachio ice cream tonight for the first time. It’s not overly sweet and the crunch from the pistachios adds great texture!“

“The best mashawi i’ve tried 😍❤️“

“This restaurant really makes you feel like you’re in Lebanon the food is always fresh and delicious, and I’ve never had a bad experience. I highly recommend the mixed grill and the beef shawarma tawouk sandwich. They’re also a butcher, so I often pick up their frozen burgers and tenders to make at home perfect for days I don’t feel like cooking. One thing they could improve on is their extra sauce policy; since we come here often and usually order a lot, it would be nice if they were more generous with sauce instead of charging for extras. Other than that, it’s a fantastic spot with amazing food.“

“amazing food and Turkish coffee, will be coming back!“

“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“

“Droubi's is the oldest Mediterranean place in houston from the 70's. I've been a customer since middle school & I am 42 today. It's Delicious, Authentic, & ALWAYS Affordable! Over 50 years and the same gentleman that owns Droubi's still runs it with his wife. Hats off & respect to both of them.“

“Love this place made me feel like we were back in Isreal“

“I had the fish sandwich which was perfectly spiced and a very good portion. My husband had the gyro sandwich and liked it. We tried the potato balls which were very good (a little spicy) and the falafel balls which were good too (not spicy). The white sauce was very good. The guys behind the counter were very friendly and hard working“

“My Wife and I were married here at the Hall. This was hands down the most simplictic portion of all that we needed to get figured out. The Hall is beautiful and everything they provide for an event, from the tables, chairs, linen's, the food. They had it for us. We needed something they provided. The service is some of the best I've ever seen. They were truly amazing.“

“Owner seems extremely caring and passionate about his creation and business. Loved the keema and chicken naan we had. Definitely would come again to try rest of the options. Pretty quick service and fresh taste. We liked ours with butter. Must have if you like crunchy flavor full stuffed bread!

Vegetarian options: Alo naan

Parking: A lot of free parking available on the lot

Kid-friendliness: Families were eating at the dinning area. They were open while rest of Sugarland was struggling with power after hurricane.“
