People complain about the service, but i've never had an issue. Ask for Nadia of Vidal, and they will certainly take cafe of you. The hookah is great, the french fries are the best, and prime location

The pineapple hookah is a great choice! It's more expensive , but you get lots more flavor & shisha . Food/appetizer/snacks that are worth trying include the fries , tabouli salad , and hummus .

Alex S.

Try their sojok and makaned meats, as an appetizer and Layal Special Salad with swarma as a main entry. They have nice freshly squeezed juices - had their mixture of strawberry and mango .

Tanya Chaudhry

Bruh. French fries . Garlic sauce . Hookah . And byob . Legit the b e s t place ever, 10/10 you need to come!

Luna Oliveira

I come here at least once a week. No complains! It's one of the few cheap good things to do in Houston. And the waiters are always so nice! These reviews aren't reasonable at all.

Jasmine Turner

Great hookah , great service! BYOB in the evenings, too! I'll have to come back and actually try the food next time! :)

Rani Ramchandani

White grape mint hookah is nice and smooth. Some of the best fries (with a side of garlic sauce ), great for sharing.

Sarah Griffin

Great patio , tasty food, good hookah selection, and friendly staff . Only complaint is the service: very slow!

Carlos Aguirre

Good food good hookah . Byob is good minus the $5/person corking fee.

Mocha Dad

Menu is a bit pricey for lunch . If you're looking for authentic Mediterranean food , this place may be too Americanized for your taste.

Mary Ann Rodriguez

great french fries and crispy light falafel .

Male servers will almost completely ignore female customers, and avoid eye contact. My serves spoke to my date about my order instead of speaking to me directly

Karen Lao ????
