Gourmandize

Located in the Galleria Food Truck Park, there isn't very much parking if it's remotely busy. We got lucky with a parking spot, but most people had to park on the street and walk a bit. We came at 10pm on a Friday and the wait was 25 minutes for food to come out, even though there was no line when we got there. I think it might be the standard wait time no matter what you get or how busy it is. We walked around while waiting and must have missed them call our name because when we came back to wait, they didn't give us our order even though it was ready. They were calling other people and handing them their food, but never us. We waited an extra 15 minutes, thinking it just wasn't ready, because we thought the guy at the window would give it to us when he saw we came back. Even when there was no line. He didn't. We had to get in line, because a line eventually formed, and go up to the window to ask for our order that had been sitting out for 15-20 minutes by that point. It was honestly really annoying. Because of this, we ended up waiting 40 minutes when it was probably ready in 15-20...most people don't stand around waiting for 25 minutes. They usually walk around or go to their car. I don't think it's too much to expect them to notice us come back and give us our order when there's not even a line. That's just like basic service...But I guess they want people to constantly come up to the window and bother them asking about their order. So be warned (this might vary depending on the guy working the window too).Despite this, the food was really good! We drove home instead of eating outside or in our car, so by the time we actually ate the food, it had been over an hour since we placed our order *eyeroll*. We had to microwave it because it was cold by that point, but it held up and tasted fresh. LAMB KABOB: This was actually soooooo good. Almost made the bad service worth it. There was a lot of lamb, so they didn't skimp out. You could really taste the natural, gamey lamb flavor, and I really liked that, but my bf didn't and thought it needed more seasoning. It just depends on what you like. But there was a lot of delicious sauce, so it wasn't dry, and the onions, tomatoes, and cilantro worked really well to make it feel lighter. I didn't know how I'd feel about the fries inside, but I didn't really notice them. I don't even know if they were seasoned. They kinda felt like filler, but not in a bad way. Also, this was 10 inches long, wrapped in a thin pita bread. I was shocked at how big it was. I'd definitely get this again. I'll just wait at the window next time lol (fyi: a lot of oil drained from this, so be careful of it dripping)MERGUEZ WRAP: Very flavorful. My bf liked this one way more than the lamb kabob because he liked the seasoning and spice, but I still liked the lamb better. It says it's a sausage on the menu, but there's no casing, so the meat ended up crumbing and resembling ground meat as opposed to a sausage. It has the same toppings as the lamb, so it was delicious as well. Also wrapped in a 10 inch, thin pita bread. I'd recommend it if you want something with a little kick to it.

A friend recommended this place as he saw it on insta and I was voted Guinea pig !! And wow what a treat this place is (so far). I ordered three lamb tacos and TBH was shocked at the price of each taco BUT when I got to work and saw they used huge chunks of lamb I understood. The lamb was so juicy and tasty that it started making my tortillas tear :) another HUGE bonus is that they actually cook the flour tortillas (they had the brown spots!!!) a lot of Tex mex places seem not to understand you have to put the tortilla (flour and corn) on a comal and cook them bad boys!!! They were very generous with the avocado and the tacos were huge!!!!! The green sauce it came with could use a bit more spice but overall the food was delicious !!! I will be going back to try other items. The only other complaint is the wait. But over all amazing place

The chicken Shawarma here is pretty good. I wish they had a lamb Shawarma. Also, it would be nice if there was some way for them to contact you when your food is ready instead of just waiting outside the truck for the for them to call your name.

Damn it was good. Really really really good. I had their beef wrap and it was perfect. Spicy and saucy. Oh so saucy. You would think that it being so saucy, it would be messy to eat, but it wasn't. The guys wrapped the wrap perfectly. No spills or drips. Everything was in tact. The area is shady so please be alert.

Good! Not to die for but I'm sure at the end of the night I'd give this 5 stars. I got the lamb shish taco and it was very flavorful! My boyfriend got the lamb gyro. It isn't huge so if you're starving or sharing then get two with a side of fries or something a lil extra. Service is good but slow. Your options to pay are cashapp or zelle. Zelle took awhile to go through so we were standing in the beating sun for awhile waiting for them to receive it. There's not a order/wait mechanism like buzzers or texts so you kinda just have to wait in the sun so that takes away a bit from the experience. Overall, I'll probably try again but I'll also probably try the trucks further down on Westheimer first.

So impressed by Gourmandize and their Tunisian way of doing wraps and over rice entrees. We stopped by on a Sunday and got the Merguez wrap which consists of a lamb and beef mixture accompanied with a house sauce, veggies and French fries. Simply one of the greatest food items I have eaten in a long time. We also got a combo over rice which consisted of beef and chicken. Both proteins flavored just right, the star was the rice. Perfectly seasoned and I love how they include a salad with the rice. Also one of the better over rice entrees I have had in a very long time. Gyro King has competition now. Also they grill their chicken wings over charcoal and it's just immaculate. Amazing job. We will certainly be back.

Really good food and it's Halal. I visited this food truck one late night when I was out with a friend who had a dietary restriction to eat Halal. This place did not disappoint. We got their Lamb Shawarma Sandwich. It was juicy and seasoned quite well. It did take a little bit for our food to be prepared, but it might be because they prepare lamb on order only after a certain time in the evening.There are a few other food trucks around here, making it a good location for eating out with friends that want to eat different cuisines.

A little bit of a sketch neighborhood and parking may be tricky, but the food here is kinda worth it. I was lucky to find street parking close by, but while I was on the premises experienced some folks and a neighboring food's truck staff who were being very unruly and loud. So just come aware. Coming to the matter at hand, the food was phenomenal! Their lamb sheesh kabob wrap was my favorite! I got the merguez wrap and chicken shawarma on the recommendation of other reviewers, but th lamb was my personal favorite. I'll be coming back with friends for sure!

Pricey for a food truck, but expected when you are near the galleria area. Gourmandize brings gourmet Mediterranean food to you, straight out of a truck. Located within the Galleria Food Truck Park, Gourmandize has many perks since its open late and has tons of options to chose from. We came here on a Friday night, and the place was definitely popular and very busy. This whole area is pretty much a vibe during the weekend. The customer service was descent, but it did take quite a while for our food to be ready. At least 20 minutes for an order of hummus with lamb. The Loaded Hummus Combo came with only one piece of pita bread, and the portion sized seemed a bit small, so we were very hesitant when we got back home to eat it. The minute that lamb and hummus hit my taste buds it was absolutely delicious. Amazing, fantastic, just delicious. It was all worth it, and this is certainly one of the best food trucks parked in the area, and one I'd consider returning to.

Decent spot. This food truck are is chaos and that is a pretty significant impediment to frequent visits. The food is made with care and is decent. The Marguez is more ground meat like versus sausage like, which I'm less a fan of, but it is very good.The chicken wings were the best thing we tried, charcoal made and really really good. The lamb chops were meh, I would skip them given the price. Fries are also very good. Definitely a few levels above the average middle eastern fare. If you're in the area, I'd strongly recommend.
