I asked the guy at the counter for his recommendation on the lunch plates. He said the lamb kabob was great. He was SO right. Get this, cooked medium, with hummus and another side. AWESOME.Upvoted 17 hours ago

- Laura OSeptember 1, 2012Pita bread is great! Chicken Shawarma is so tender and tasty. Absolutely love the garlic sauce!
They have all sorts of cheese including Armenian string cheese and among the best bakery in town. Great prices as well.

Charbel Diane AzarJuly 26, 2014I love this place it has all our cultural food and the pastry is amazing there!

Yris OrtizOctober 4, 2011Best Price in Pita Bread!!...Crew NO friendly (Cashier & Deli)!!!!...Good selection on Mediterranean Products!!!- Houston PressJanuary 25, 20112010 Best of Houston® Winner: Best Pita Bread: Soft, with just the right amount of chew, these rounds are in a far different category from the generally bland pitas sold elsewhere!
Alex S.April 26, 2012Wonderful lamb shawarma (they also have chicken and beef shawarma), but I'm not impartial to lamb.. Also, good salads; you can take each salad in a small platter to try several of them.
Meagan GAugust 21, 2011Try the apple baklava gelato. It's delicious! But don't get too much, it's also extremely rich!
I prefer to eat lunch here, less crowded and more options than their restaurant around the corner!
