The best Mediterranean food in the area. Don’t turn away because of the outside, the food is absolutely delicious. We got the grape leaves, yogurt + cucumbers, lentil soup, Greek salad with chicken, hummus, baba ghanoush and olives. All of it was amazing and better than most of the Mediterranean spots around. Definitely making this a staple!

Found this spot on the way home from the Dickens on the Strand festival! So great! The inside is not fancy, but the food is fantastic. Tastes fresh and delicious. Would recommend trying the cauliflower and sample platter ❤️

Don’t let the modest quiet storefront turn you away. I promise the food and people inside are simply the best. We have been loyal customers of the owner’s restaurants for over 30+ years. Best hummus, chicken kabobs, Turkish coffee and more.

I had looked up the “best restaurants” by NASA and this place popped up. From its very modest outside appearance I was skeptic. I went with my stepson who’s not a foodie. He’s reluctant to “new foods” so he got a Philly cheese steak, which he loved…LOVED! We also shared the sampler platter and he has grown his palate to liking falafel, kibbeh and baklava. This is a big win! I also had an amazing fattoush salad and loved the garlic sauce and tzatziki. The service was as fabulous as the food. If we are ever in the area again we will go back for sure…we might even plan a trip just for this place.

YES!!! Wow. Tabboulleh, beef shawarma, falafel, kibbeh, green salad, pita, garlic sauce, tahini all were placed on our table and ALL of it was excellent and the price of our meal was so very reasonable. I will be back. I didn't get pics of all dishes. Note: I do agree there is a slight smell from what is probably an extremely old sewage line, but it was not a total distraction. The entrance to the parking lot also needs to be filled. We wondered when we saw this and an almost empty lot if we were making the wrong choice, but I am happy to say I am so very glad we still gave it a try.

Food was great! The customer service was amazing. The restaurant was very well kept and clean. Reggie was our waiter and he was very wonderful. The food came out very quickly and he was very accommodating and constantly made sure we weren’t missing anything. Would 100% recommend.

A good friend introduced me to this place and it was so good I had to bring my mom. Tonight is the husband's turn. Their hummus is AMAZING and they offer it with pita and/or cucumber slices. So far, everything we have ordered has been delicious.the entire staff makes the cidit even better. Everyone has been so generous, kind, and genuinely happy to have you patron their establishment.

I am surprised this place was able to slip under my radar for so long. My fiance and I love Mediterranean food and never realized this place was right around the corner in clear lake. We got the grape leaves, falafel salad, humus, beef kababs, the kofta kababs, and the Turkish coffee. The food was absolutely fantastic and I am so happy I found a place that actually serves Turkish coffee, I have been wanting to try it for a long while now. I liked the environment felt homey in a way and the staff is the best. 10 out of 10 will be going again and recommend you to do so as well if you have never been.

The owners and food were both fantastic. My only wish would have been for Lebanese-style music playing in the background. Absolutely will return to sample more of the menu!

This place is amazing!!! My boyfriend and I were in love with the food here and the staff was so lovely and kind. For meals we got the sampler plate to try a little of everything, and the vegan stir fry and oh my goodness they were so yummy. The salad was great as well and the spicy potatoes were definitely a favorite for us.
