"I usually order from Olivit via DoorDash but I went in person this time and was greeted by a super nice guy at the front desk. He was very friendly, answered all my questions about their menu, and even gave me an enthusiastic recommendation. I really appreciate the customer service here.I usually get the wraps from here so I followed tradition and got a gyro and also the kobbeh balls, both of which were great. I've never had kobbeh before but the crunchiness of the outside and the soft, ground beef inside made me fall in love. This place is a must-try if you want some top-tier Mediterranean food."

"You can always count on the Halal Guys. Service is efficient and food is great. I recommend the Combo Platter, you get to try their amazing beef and chicken meat at the same time, meat is always fresh and well-seasoned, tender and flavorful. Portion size is much appreciated, it comes with rice, lettuce, tomatoes and 4 pieces of pita bread. I also ordered another side of hummus, it comes with another piece of big pita bread, hummus was on point!"

"Wow! What an unexpected experience. My husband and I had to take our daughter to a doctor's appointment in the area and were looking for someplace to have a healthy lunch. We saw a sign for Lama and decided to give it a try. It was so beautiful inside! Our daughter was in awe. We loved the complimentary mint tea. My husband and I ordered one of the dishes for two that came with two sides and two appetizers. Then we had three types of meat and rice with pita bread. It was our servers first day and she did a great job! She was helpful and checked in with us to make sure we were pleased with our meal. We definitely will be coming back!"

"Glad I was finally able to try out this place! With so many good places in the Houston area, sometimes we take for granted new places, but also want to support the places that we like so they stay in business. So when the bakery I usually frequent across the street was full, I decided instead of waiting or trying to maneuver the inside of the bakery with 3 young children alone, to go over here because they had halal meat (chicken and gyro options). I was really happy that we were able to find close parking on the street but we usually park a little further down in the parking lot behind all the buildings when we visit city place. I heard that there is free parking in a garage nearby but I did not see any free parking in a garage; the only parking garage I saw had a sign that it was employees only.I saw a picture of what I wanted online and went with the Mediterranean plate which I have to say-- is pricey for the amount of food that you get. I expected it to be larger or for this price (almost $20) I expected it to cost less. Either or. The children options are really nice, they got the basics things, my kids were able to get the small pizza and a halal chicken meal that they enjoyed. I liked that they had a couple of different types of teas to try (ginger peach and black current) because it gets boring to only just have a sweet or unsweet tea option at restaurants. I tried the cookie that you get with the children's meal, and it are really yummy, I regretted not purchasing a few of those separately. We especially love the fact that they had frozen yogurt for a sweet treat after the meal. The inside of the place was very aesthetic looking and we are looking forward to visiting again soon."

"Perfect stop for fast, healthy, yummy. The pita bread is pretty thick so makes for more of a knife and fork type pita experience. It's delicious, just super dense, so it doesn't work as well to eat it like a traditional Greek wrap. I love that they let you do half and half for the base and proteins. The skhug sauce is excellent. Service is helpful and friendly. For the quality, the prices are fair- $11 for a wrap or bowl that's very filling. Dining room is basic and clean- reminds me of a Salata or Chipotle."

"Tried this newly opened place in front of Sienna and it did not disappoint. Ordered the Beef Kafta platter to go which included Greek salad, rice, hummus, and pita. The beef was flavorful and juicy and the salad was fresh with a tasty dressing. Prices are on the higher side but the portions are generous. They also offer lunch specials but be sure to get there before 230p. I ordered a few minutes after and the cashier said it was too late so I had to pay dinner prices. I'll be back to try other items to support this small biz but wish they would be a little more flexible in the future for 2 minutes."

The Halal Guys

★★★★☆ 4.1 (44)

"It gets busy around 6-7 PM even on weekdays but the line moves quickly! There are 4 options, a small bowl is $10 and a regular bowl is $11 -- falafel, chicken only, beef only, and combo chicken & beef. Combo chicken & beef is the best IMO. The chicken by itself was pretty over-cooked and wasn't as seasoned very well compared to the beef. Plenty of parking spots in the small lot adjacent to the building. There are a few tables indoors and also an outdoor seating area with plastic tents over it. Only free toppings are white onions & green peppers.Will be coming back in the future!"

"While I was growing up in Houston this was one of our favorite places, and my mom and aunt were some of their first customers. It's wonderful to see how much they have grown and expanded. And their shawarma, hummus and tabouli are the best in the world, and the owner is a sweetheart. It's absolutely one of the best things about Houston."

The Halal Guys

★★★★☆ 3.9 (268) • $$

"Got a small chicken platter ($9 something) and regular combo platter ($10 something). Preferred the beef (more flavor) over chicken. Decent amount of protein for the price, and the small was filling for me. White sauce is very good but high in calories for those health conscious folks. The red sauce is quite spicy. I still like Gyro Hut better (their chicken has more flavor), but Halal Guys is also good."

"Food was amazing! 10/10 my bestie and I got a lot of food to try and thankfully they have to-go boxes because there's no way we could eat all of this. Out of the main entree's, the lamb was our favorite but we agreed it would be even better in the winter as it was a heavy dish. The fish was wonderful too and definitely on the lighter end when it came to flavor but still very good and perfect for the summer. The "buffet" was excellent as well and I'd be more than happy just getting the 6 half portions for $16.99. The price is a bit on the high side but you get practically 2 meals out of it and the quality is superb. The Bulghur and Lentil salad were my favorite of the vegetarian dishes and the Curry Chicken salad was amazing. That would be perfect made into a sandwhich. The hummus and the Yogurt with cucumber (which reminded me of a really thick Tzatziki) were good and refreshing. The Greek salad was rather disappointing. It didn't have a lot of flavor even with the dressing. The roasted potatoes were wonderful with good garlic and lemon flavor. The fried cauliflower had absolutely no flavor and that was disappointing cause I do love fried cauliflower when it's seasoned properly. The little "pies", the bread with what tastes like kaak, and th little meat pie which tastes like Lahme bil Ajiin, we're good too. The cake was also good. Basically everything was good if not great barring those two things. Service was also 10/10. I believe the owner or manager was out talking with customers and helping serve food as well. He was super nice and you could tell he was proud of the restaurant. The servers also seemed to be happy so that was nice as well. Ambiance 8/10. It's on the loud end. There's no soft furnishing to help absorb the sound so we had to constantly talk louder. It is nice inside though and plenty of seating. I highly recommend this place."

"So I'm not a huge CAVA trend guy, but my girlfriend buys from here all the time so I had to try it out. Can't lie, it's kinda not too bad at all. We order delivery most of the time and the orders are always satisfactory. Flavor is pretty good and portion sizes are decent too. It's a little overpriced but otherwise I think it's darn good. Will definitely be ordering again (like right now, if I'm being honest)."

"Came here with a group of 4 for a friend's birthday dinner. We made reservations far in advance on Resy and they require you to make a deposit when you book. Parking is valet and located on the side of Rosie Cannonball next to the restaurant entrance. After checking in, you are escorted upstairs where the lounge and main dining area are located. First off was the lounge which has a full bar and comfy lounge seating. They greeted us with a taste of their signature vermouth which was delicious! We ordered pre-dinner cocktails and they gave us small snacks to munch on. After we finished the snacks we were escorted to the main dining area which has a nice, classy atmosphere. For dinner we had the 6 course menu, focused on the Mediterranean, with wine pairings. Each course was well plated with a wonderful presentation. Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed with the food. Each course was good, but not as amazing as I thought it would have been for the price we paid. There's not a single dish I would come back here for. I did feel satiated after the 6 course meal so I can't even imagine how full I would have been after 9 courses. On a positive note, the servers here are amazing and extremely attentive. They were also patient with us as we were the last customers there and they let us take our time to finish our meals. Overall, I love the vibe and the ambiance of the classy dining room. I know everyone has different palates, so if you have the money to try this place out and are curious, then go for it. Otherwise if you've been on the fence, I don't think this place is worth it for the high price tag. I would definitely come back to their lounge/bar area for drinks though!!"

"We were originally going to eat at the place next door, and when they were closed unexpectedly we just decided to try it since I was so hungry. When we came in the guy behind the desk didn't get up or greet us. Weird for a new restaurant, they're usually really friendly but that's fine. We ordered lamb shank, macaroni bechamel, lentil soup and a shawarma wrap. We also ordered bottled waters at the counter. We didn't get our drinks until we were almost half way done with the meal. The macaroni dish was half cold and not microwaved all the way through. The lamb shank was really tender and tasted good. The lentil soup was fantastic.Overall ok place"

You can order from a menu or you can just order from the buffet of various dishes. From a variety of hummus to rice to pasta and don't skip out on the salmon. My sisters favorite!! It was so easy to over indulge. Gyro, Sharwarmaa, Baklava, FADI, FADI, FADI!!!"

"Tried this truck on an impulse today when we were stalking another truck at My food Park HTX. Best chicken schwarma, EVER. My hubby is uber fussy about Mediterranean food, but he absolutely loved this.As a few of the other reviewers have said, the bread isn't traditional pita, it's a Lebanese flat bread - it is akin to the roti cani pancakes from Malaysia, just a bit thicker. The contents were heavenly, and plentiful. Lots of good quality, excellently cooked ingredients. We really did love it!My side was their cucumber tzatziki dip which rocked my world and those home made pita chips? Nom.I'm drooling writing this review. Seriously good food and very reasonably priced!"

"Found this place through IG and of course bookmarked it so when I was in this side could give it a go, and I'm sure glad I did! I love Mediterranean food and all the photos looked great and the atmosphere as well, so I looped my coworkers together and off we went!When we pulled up the outside of the building was beautiful and inviting. We walked in and their was a small bakery counter to the left with a brick oven in the back as well. We were greeted promptly and were able to choose where we wanted to sit. Lots of space indoors and outdoors and also has a private dining space that you can have private parties in. I love that there was so much space to spread out, and plugs in Al the walls so should you hang out for a work day, you're plugged in and good to go. This place seems very authentic in my opinion, lots of hookah around as well, and all the food looked amazing it was so hard to decide!I got the samosas (half and half) as I couldn't decide which I wanted. I liked them both but prefer the beef! Also I ordered the chicken Schwarma with fries and it was absolutely delicious with the garlic sauce that comes with it. You can sub out your fries for a salad! Everything that came out look phenomenal, I wasn't able to finish all my food, so it was nice to have something for later on. The one thing I would say that would be helpful to know is water came out in a bottle so you're charged $3 for that and then gratuity is added in already as well. I definitely intend to come back and enjoy this delicious food! Our waiter was super nice and attentive so I appreciate how kind everyone was during our visit."

"Came here for lunch and was not disappointed by the food. The paella was fragrant, flavorful, and there were threads of saffron in the dish. The ingredients were fresh. The mussels, shrimps, calamari, chorizo, and chicken were perfectly cooked. The whole dish was delicious. The lamb shank was big, and super tender. The mash potato and green bean sides were good too. Baklava for dessert was the perfect ending. The phyllo pastry was crispy, thin, and flaky. The ground walnuts added extra texture, and the honey brought the dessert together. Scrumptious! The baklava was served with a small scoop of ice cream on the side. I have never eaten a baklava with ice cream so it was new to me. However, I found the ice cream to be unnecessary as the baklava was already a sweet dessert. I couldn't taste the sweetness from the ice cream after eating just one small spoon of baklava. I received great service today and thoroughly enjoyed the food. The restaurant has an olden but modern look, and there are plenty of seats for small and big groups. There is plenty of parking too. I will be back for sure."

I tried the shawarma arabe with garlic sauce, crazy shawarma (spicier), and chicken tenders. Everything was fresh and very tasty. Highly recommend trying this newest halal food truck."
