"We ordered two platters— one lamb platter and one chicken platter. The lamb platter was really good and full of flavor. The chicken platter was okay, but still enjoyable. Overall, we liked the food, and the prices were very reasonable and not expensive at all. The server was very helpful and took the time to guide me on what to order, which I really appreciated Overall, a good experience and we would come back again."

"New and only TX outpost of a popular NYC-style gyro shop serving up tasty and hefty platters, wrap, and burgers at a great value. There's been a wave of these kinds of shops moving into HTX, and this one serves up a great platter with standout fresh ingredients. Vibe: very casual with ample seating. Service was good and fast. Food: Ordered a combo platter of chicken and lamb over rice with salad, beans, grilled onions, white sauce, and red sauce and took it to go. Ate it about 25 minutes later. Marinated chicken was tender, flavorful, and cut into thick chunks - one of my favorite versions of this in a halal platter. Lamb gyro is also served diced into thick chunks and tasted good. The salad stood out as very fresh which I enjoyed a lot. White sauce is pretty mild and doesn't stand out, red sauce gives a nice kick. I regret not adding the green sauce (like a cilantro lime flavor) as I feel like it would have completed the white sauce nicely and tied it together better. Rice was pretty plain and a little too watery for my preference."

"You cannot go wrong with their Fish over rice platter. Their fish is juice, flavorful and crispy, and the rice is well seasoned too! I love the hot sauce that comes with it and dont forget to add the white sauce too as thats a game changer. Definitely coming back for more"

"The rice bowls are fantastic! I am a little sad that they keep changing food app pricing/options though. You can not order a rice bowl online without ordering 2 minimum, so I am forced to look elsewhere for my work lunch when I can't get to the store. Great food though!"
