Pure heaven! Food from all over the world. They let you try before You buy. The raspberry mojitos were the best. We had octopus salad , pesto pecan chicken salad , and black bean mango salad . Yummy!

I love shopping at Phoenicia. The list of items I like to buy there is much too long. If you like cooking Mediterranean style then this place is for you. The gyros and shawarmas are great as well .

Amazing place with foods from all over the world! This is the place we go grocery shopping! Great Mediterranean food and Asian food and European food! You must also try the delicious shawarma !!

There should be one of these in every city ! The only thing that could make it better is if it were the ground floor of my hotel . Live jazz every Sunday from 12:00-15:00!!

Skip the bar and go inside the grocery store and order food from there. The shawarma was great, and so were the lamb shank and chicken entrées . Love the atmosphere as well !

The downtown location is more geared towards ready to eat food and catering than the Westheimer location , which has a much bigger selection

Love their salad bar (must try the Armenian string cheese ) and freshly baked pizza ! Not to mention the variety of desserts .
