| - Came here for dinner tonight, and was absolutely pleased with the place. I arrived about 645 pm, and there was only one other group in the place, which may be odd but this whole block seems pretty low-key. Three other groups came in while I was eating, so it wast completely dead.
One thing to note is that this is NOT Greek food- The website says they're a mixture of several countries, and more in line with what I've had as Lebanese food in Houston. Overall, compared to other Lebanese places I've eaten at, this is some of the best.
I got the mixed kabobs (beef, lamb, chicken, and kafta), the small hummus, and basmati rice and the potatoe harra. Everything was delicious! One thing to note is that only the beef and lamb is halal, so if you're on a halal diet then make sure to only get those meats. Basmati rice was the best that I've ever had.
I saw a few reviewers complain that the meat was dry. Honestly, all Mediterranean food like this is dry, unlike the American way of fatty meats, sauces, and cheese on everything. I was neither surprised or upset by the 'dryness' of the kafta and chicken. That's to be expected with traditional Arabic food.
The service was decent. The waiter wasn't overbearing, which I appreciated, but came quickly enough when I was looking for him. You'll need to be clear when you want a refill, which again is different form American restaurants, but compared to the other Middle Eastern-like food places the service was amazing. Not sure if it's a cultural thing, but I wasn't upset of disappointed.
I noticed they had a full bar, and wine by the bottle, but I didn't look into wine by the glass. I'm sure they have it, but I just didn't investigate.
I wish I could go back again, I liked the place so much. I didn't have any complaints about the place.
