This place is Mediterranean with an emphasis on Lebanese cuisine. Everything is a la carte so you can try a little of everything for cheap like a side order of this smelt!

Love getting their beef shawarma either in a wrap or piled high on a salad. Either way get the tahini as dressing. YUM

This is one of my favorite places in Houston for mediterranean food. Everything tastes yummy (even their ice cream is great!). The staff is not the friendliest though...

Their rice with lentils and onions are off the hook. Pair it with the lamb shank, you've got a one way ticket to bliss.

Try the delicious and unique pistachio orange blossom gelato! The dark chocolate flavor is also amazingly intense.

Get the petite-size dishes so you can try everything! And be sure to check out the unique gelato flavors.

Shwarmas are a great deal. Don't sit under the metalwork outside unless you want the birds to add flavor.

Nope. Too much and food was ok. Did not help me and my mother to the table when holding my baby and purse. My mothers patient needed to use the restroom and needed and a random customer came and help.

My favorite place ever! Really good lemon fries, shawarmas, salads and well pretty much everything.

The trick is to order the wraps and no sides. The sides are a rip-off.
