Mary'z Lebanese Cuisine

I am quite disappointed. I remember this place being good but it was TERRIBLE! RUN!!! It took our server 5 minutes to get to the table another 10 minutes for the drinks and another 10 minutes on top of that for the food. I only ordered a salad, grape leaves and a pickled plate. Honestly I won't even get into detail about the food because it was straight trash! The prices are outrageous, the food is mediocre and the service is horrible. How is this place still in business!!!

Not gonna elaborate...got the after dinner hookah going now, but the food was great-love the cuisine! Best to do samplers and tapas, so you can really get the full scope. We ordered:Beef Shawarma Sandwich, Cabbage Rolls, Kibbi, Mixed Grill, Roasted Eggplant, hummus with Schwartz and ground beef, flatbread with cheese and sausage (like a delicious pizza), pita pockets, house salads, cucumber and yogurt... certain I forgot something, but, you get the picture.Nice little spot for groups, for dates, families, getting some work done (with the hookah, lol), and just a chill vibe. They've got rooftop seating in both the front and back, so lots of choices. The indoor dining area reminds you a bit of a greenhouse...Will return. The Heights location is great too!

The staff here are always nice. One of the waitresses even stopped to chat with us and ask us why we weren't with our boyfriends. Lol(I guess we're the problems ) The food is always awesome. Its not loud and you can smoke your hookah/cigars in peace. The lights at night are an added bonus for a great quiet vibe.

I came here with my Jordanian friend on her recommendation; however, we both left disappointed in the quality of the food. My friend was especially disappointed; she used to love this place, and she said the quality's gone down. Also did I mention that parking is valet-only and $10? Hummus: 0/5, it tasted so plastic-y and artificial. Like some really bad grocery store hummus. I usually love hummus, but I didn't touch this after my initial bite. Halloumi cheese: 4/5. It's hard to mess this one up, but there was nothing special about it. Fattoush salad: 5/5. I would definitely get this again. The dressing was delicious, and the pita chips were perfectly crispy and seasoned. Beef Shawarma Plate: 4/5. The beef was fine, and I was hungry so I ate it. It was nothing special though. The best part of this dish was the rice -- that was special, it had a hint of sweetness and a great texture. Chicken Kabob plate: 2/5. The chicken was so dry and flavorless. Didn't touch this after my first bite. Overall, I would not come back here. There's plenty of Mediterranean places in Houston, you're better off going somewhere else.

I hadn't been here in a while, but my friend visited from out of town and had a dinner gathering there. As I entered the parking, a valet attendant stopped me. There was no such thing as free self parking. What? I could park on my own and pay $7, or have him park my car for $10. Excuse me? Since when did Mary'z begin charging folks who are coming to dine in their establishment to park? So each of my friends and I had to pay to park. Some of them had paid $10 to self park. The valet attendant could rarely speak English. And he was not clear why you pay $10 to self park. I paid $7. I asked to speak to a manager. Mary'z is contracting a parking service. Why? This area of town is not ritzy nor is it Downtown to be charging for parking. Unfortunately, you can't park on Richmond Ave. to avoid this fee. At least the manager said my friends who paid $10 would get a $3 refund. Now as to the food. ..I ordered a vegetarian sandwich with cauliflower. It's good. It has tahini sauce and pickled turnips. I was still hungry and ordered fava beans. They're tasty and the presentation is great. However, I find that $10 for that amount of beans is overpriced. So for a veggie sandwich, beans and parking, I paid a total of $31.63. At least our waitress, Maria N, only included a 15 percent tip on our bill. She was nice. As long as I have to pay for parking, I won't be returning.

Parking is valet only ...enter a narrow driveway before Drip car wash. $10 valet cash. Upon entering, you can smell the hookah and the delicious food wafting through the restaurant. We sat in the roomy back patio with partial roof and heaters. Service was awesome, fast and friendly. My friend had a hookah. We had our kids but we sat on the patio so it was ok. We ordered the cheese pita bread (cheese pizza) , baba ganoush, and a mixed meat platter. Everything was delicious. Definitely love the food. Especially the garlic sauce. Didn't like the only valet option.

Excellent service. Delicious food. Amazing selection of cocktails. Chill vibe. Great hookah. Highly recommend. Note: you have to pay for self-parking. Valet too.

My favourite hookah spot in Houston!!! Drinks are great, prices are even better!! Love their lamb chops and shawarma. Mary'z never disappoints!!!!

i absolutely love lebanese food. Every single food item i tried was amazing. ambiance was very welcoming, felt like I was at my ex girlfriend's grandmas place. The service was pretty good as well. Will definitely be back when i come to houston

Okay place, decent food but a bit on the pricier side based on their wines and entree prices. Most annoyingly, why would you not offer a complimentary parking space and charge for even self parking on a Tuesday night?Definitely not going back just like many others. No wonder why this place had barely 2 other tables
