We got the bogo deal which made it more worth it but the food quality was subpar. Kind of tasted like a frozen gyro dinner I had recently. The ambience is pretty cool though! They have a cute patio, greenery area and it's across from Hermann park.

My husband and I eat a lot of Mediterranean food, and there are a lot of options near our home. We usually get gyro king or gyro hut, but seeing as this place is so close I figured I'd try them out as well. Menu options are very similar to above restaurants, and we got gyro over rice and salad. The gyro meat is pretty good- more heavy on cinnamon than most places which I actually like. Food was done relatively quickly and service was good. Their prices are a couple dollars higher than other places and overall I liked them just a bit less. The food here is fine but I think I will stick with my usual spots for Mediterranean.Of note, I did see a sign that says they serve halal for those who are interested.

I would say they make good chicken shawarma and cheeseburger in overall. I would prefer kofta plate but I would have to wait 12-15 min for that, so we chose wraps and burger for a child. Taste was good but chicken was dryish. It was not juicy at all and sauce was not as light, I assume they use lots of mayo instead of yogurt or labne. Was nice little stop spot for a quick bite.

Up until a few months ago, Shawarma Stop easily one of my most frequented late night spots in all of H-Town. This place was swimming with potential: a fairly extensive outdoor setup, a pretty good array of quality foods, and open super late. Since it shares the space with a gas station convenience store, it's the perfect spot to grab a bite after pumping some gas. Then, new ownership took it over and it's been a steady decline ever since.For folks who were familiar with the previous operation, there have been a number of changes:-- They're no longer open as late. It's no longer a 4AM destination but instead a place that closes just before midnight. (Last order at 11:30PM)-- A lot of menu items are no longer being served. Fondue. Burgers. Crepes. Waffles. Many of which exist on the menu but are no longer being served in actuality. In fact, the fondue / sweets are is completely empty now.-- Much of the (Lebanese) teas are also no longer served. Now they've brought in a Community Coffee iced tea dispenser; tackily sitting in the corner. It was a little sticky when I last used it. (i.e. someone needs to clean this station often).-- The buzzers are gone. Now it's just call in and order and that's it.-- At one point the hookahs were an attraction, but I don't see any offered anymore. For the food that is served, it's a hodgepodge of mediocrity. The shawarma wrap that I used to love has now become a mushy, flavorless concoction. The meat didn't taste too fresh and the sauce was a little overbearing. After a few bites, it got a little gross. The same goes for the lamb. Hummus was also a huge thumbs down. My mixed grill platter was probably the best thing I had from here, but even at $23 for a modest portion, was not memorable.I do genuinely feel for the people working here. Part of me wants to sympathize with the sinking ship, but the execution is extremely disappointing. While I hope they can rebound, I'm not likely to muster another visit here for a long while.

Tried this place for dinner one night and got the gyro beef shawarma sandwich with fries. The wrap was crispier than other places, which I kinda liked cause it made it different. But if you like the pillowy soft pita, this isn't it. The meat was seasoned well and had a nice flavor to it. Tender, not dry. Though it was on the lighter side. There's not too much sauce so even though the meat was not dry, the whole shawarma sandwich as a whole was a little lacking. Fries were crispy. Overall, decent gyro beef shawarma sandwich, though not the best in the area.

Amazing shawarma. I think I found my shawarma spot in Houston. Cleaned, beautiful setting with delicious food, desert and coffee. I swallowed the food because it was just too good. I highly recommend this.

Here for a routine MDA hospital visit for my husband , we stopped at this very small corner cafe - I ordered a chicken Shawarma - side of beets and Baklava for dessert. Food was freshly prepared and full of flavor - truly enjoyed every bite of my meal.The baklava square was good, the baklava roll was not as good in my opinion... I will return again ....I have had better baklava , I will go back again to try another entree. We purchased combo , but forgot to get our drinks!!! If you try this place out, I suppose you get the drinks out of cooler, they do not give them to you. Just FYI

I was working in the area and found this place where I figured they'd have falafel wraps. You order at the counter. They have a mini cafeteria style choice of Middle Eastern veggie and meat items. The falafel sandwich was tasty. They have a few desserts including baklava. The place is small and connected to a gas station and therefore share the bathrooms. They needed cleaning. I'd go back to have a veggie sampler plate. Check out the gorgeous blue tea set they have on display. I should have photographed it.

I go here because they have a car charging station.It's just a bonus that their selection of vegetarian food rocks my socks. Counter service; staff is kind and helpful. It's attached to a gas station and has the vibe of a cheap college cafe.
