Oddball Eats

Came to Finn Hall to grab a bite before catching a game and was excited to see what options they had. I could have lapped around a dozen times and not felt confident in my selection of where to eat with all the intriguing options, but Oddball ended up catching my eye the most. The breakfast menu in particular had a few items I wish had been available, but the lamb chorizo fries sounded like the perfect pregame meal and they certainly lived up to it. The chorizo had the classic kick to it that was countered perfectly with the creamy garlic sauce and feta cheese. While the garlic sauce was creamy, it still had a strong garlic flavor that would make for a phenomenal dipping sauce on its own. The fries themselves were nothing special, but with add ins this good you only need the fries to be a vessel. I can certainly see myself coming back here to try some of their other options in the future if I'm in the area, hopefully early enough to catch their breakfast menu!

I still can't believe I'm giving 5-stars for fries. The lamb fries definitely went beyond my expectations. At first I was only expected the lambs and sauce are going to be tasty, and fries just going to be normal. But man, their fries are actually pretty good. It's like a really good combination of crispy and soft. And the fries goes so well with the lamb. Honestly even there's no lamb I would still eat those fries alone. They are just so good and I can't say no to them. Service are fast, and ppl working there are super friendly

So glad I took a chance on this and had a nontraditional brunch dish - Lamb Chorizo Hash - made fresh to order. It came in a huge bowl that I split with my partner and we barely finished it. From the first bite it was absolutely delicious, the spices of the sausage were clearly Mediterranean and went oh so well with the garlic sauce, green onions, and fresh over easy eggs. Not exactly a light breakfast but definitely a hearty one! Would order this again in a heartbeat!

Oddball! In my opinion, this is the sleeper star of Finn Hall. I visited the food hall at least 5-10 times before trying this Mediterranean joint. I was lured in one morning by their vegetable-forward brunch menu, and decided to try the Full Egyptian Breakfast. I was blown away!! I loved the flavorful veggies--especially the pickled cauliflower! Since that fateful morning I've tried the Hummus Bowl and the Shakshuka (only available for brunch!) and both were stellar. Oddball is reputed to have the best falafel in town, and while definitely flavorful, it didn't knock my socks off like I expected. That being said, I'm not a huge falafel fan and therefore might not be the best judge--so I'm not knocking any stars off for that. If you've been frequenting Finn Hall and haven't given Oddball a try--be sure to do so! The dishes composed of fresh ingredients combined with flavorful Mediterranean spices are well worth the stop.

For delicious gourmet Middle East healthy fast food in Houston's downtown theatre district, Oddball Eats delivers superbly fresh saucy shawarma (aka sandwich) with no bar hold on all the unique spice mixes that make its shawarma so special. The generous use of olive oil, tahini and sauce mix is everything that I look for in a shawarma but seldom could find at typical shawarma joints. The staff are helpful and polite and this location at Finn Hall offers comfortable varied seating types. Do not forget to order the hummus and pita chips-they are like no others! The pita chips are super thin and crunchy , spiced just right with sumac. The hummus portion is generous and also feature sumac. If you are visiting Houston and staying in the theatre district in surround hotels like AC hotel, Club Quarters or Marriot, don't miss out on this shawarma joint at your next visit.

Oddball has some of the best food in Houston. Their food has so much flavor, and you can order bowls packed full of veggies or with veggies in addition to meat. Everything is cooked perfectly with the best flavor and textures I've experienced in Houston so far. The sweet potato is delicious, broccoli is amazing, falafel is perfect, and the list goes on. Highly recommend a veggie & falafel bowl. It's too good not to try! Hummus and veggie wrap are great too. Only negative is they include plasticware with meals. I bring my bamboo utensils with me so it's usually not an issue. Hopefully they will make improvements to their environmentally friendly and waste reducing practices very soon.

I ordered takeout so I could face an order of lamb chorizo fries and chicken shawarma from the comfort of my hotel room. The food came up super fast. The lamb chorizo fries were next level. If you're like me and think of indulgent food as worth it vs. not when you're done eating - these are WORTH IT. the amount of garlic sauce is what you want on every bite of Mediterranean food. And the lamb chorizo was flavorful l without being super greasy like pork chorizo. The shawarma kind of let me down, I must admit. It certainly wasn't bad, but it didn't have me in my feelings like the fries. They didn't grill the wrap once it was constructed, and I think that made the pita harder to bite. It felt like I was ripping pita bites with my teeth like a jungle cat. Still, the flavors were spot on and every I ingredient was seemingly fresh. Portion sizes were adequate and we service was lovely.

I tried the lamb chorizo fries (delicious), falafel (fluffy inside with great flavor) and the chicken shawarma sandwich (also delish but could have used more sauce inside). Easily some of the best falafel I have had in Houston and really enjoyed everything else too. Also reasonably priced. Recommend if you want Mediterranean and are in the downtown area!

Miss Oddball Eats! When are they coming back?It was my favorite breakfast in Houston!

Grabbing a quick bite prior to our transit to IAH. Ruled out any fancy dinning in the area due to lack of time. Resorted to Oddball Eats. Boy what a shocker. Chicken Shawarma was the best shawarma I ever had. Absolutely phenomenal. Corn chips and humus were also spectacular. Had to order a second round. Value is decent for the exceptionally healthy and tasty ingredients. Wow, the star of Finn Hall. (A collection of food court style eateries.)
