"Never disappointed with the food! New outdoor terrace. Attended a private event in the special room. Paella was phenomenal but also roasted lamb and the eggplant side dish. Will definitely be back. Valet available but parking is also open."

"Great place. Friendly and helpful staff, excellent food. The restrooms are nice, clean, spacious, and smell quite good. There’s a large outdoor patio that’s aesthetically pleasing, and the indoor decor is vey nice as well. I ordered the family appetizer platter with cauliflower, falafel, hummus, baba ghanouj, and a side of rice. For dessert I had the knafeh with ice cream. Best knafe I’ve had in Houston, which is saying something because there’s a lot of places to get knafeh around here, especially in this neighborhood. They do NOT skimp on the garlic sauce and chili sauce they bring you, which is great!"

"Soon as you walk in you can smell the flavorful hookah. the food is super flavorful. Definitely a perfect spot for a family dinner (if you don’t mind hookah) Our server “Yousuf” was super friendly and kind, giving a warm welcoming cozy feeling! Thank you, we will definitely be dining here again!"

"The waiter (Kassam) provided exceptional service, ensuring a delightful dining experience, and the food was impeccably prepared, showcasing the culinary skills of the kitchen staff."

"I've been a number of times. Predominantly for the food! Jenya was our server, and she was tip notch! She kept checking in on us, gave good feedback on our selections, and encouraged us to try new things. Ask for her if you can. The whole rotisserie chicken is amazing! It's well flavored! Tasty! Juicy! Eat it! Also, the Greek salad with added kabob chicken is amazing. Hummus is amazing!! Fatoush is outstanding. Saffron is outstanding. The lamb chops are delicious! I licked my fingers! Oh my gosh, AND the garlic butter is wonderful! You get a great amount of food. Did I mention the soft, fresh pitas! The fresh fruit juices!!! The mixed berries drink was amazing!!! The lemonade is super tart! Beware but it's Tasty!! They are working on the decor, to make it more beautiful! They've a patio. Hookahs. Affordable prices! All great things!!! Annnnnnd, let's talk about the family atmosphere! You will see people lounging and talking. It's casual. You can get event space. Folks also play cards and dominoes and watch the sports on the TV. It's a good space. No alcohol served for religious purposes, but they do not push any of that on you. Now, do NOT order what is not Mediterranean. It's not good."
