Hank what do you recommend I order at Kasra? 

Definitely get the hummus an an appetizer (if you like a lot of garlic). 

For entrees, I'd say either get the Sultani (one skewer ground beef, one skewer filet) Jujeh (Cornish Hen), or lamb shank. With sour cherry or barberry rice.

Alright Hank you’re in the clock. I just ordered the Sultani with barberry rice.

I feel like this thread needs more love.

Go to for solid food and ease because of multiple locations is Fadi’s.

I also liked Abdallah’s but it’s been a long time since I have eaten there.

If you find yourself out in the Cypress/Klein area, Zamani is good no frills kind of place with an import market.

For Persian, I like Darband Shishkabob.

Zamani is good stuff, chicken schwarma platter is what I usually go with

If you get it to go, call them up it will be a few bucks cheaper than ordering online

Regarding Halal Guys, you must be talking about the one on Westheimer near Kirkwood.  There’s no way they’re ALL that bad  


When you say rotisserie, do you mean shwarma?   

If so, have you been to Arpi’s around the corner from Phoenicia Market? It’s pretty good. They have chicken, beef and lamb shwarma and a lot of other things served cafeteria style.  

Arpi is the tiny lady often seen behind the counter. She and her husband own Phoenicia. I love that store.

Any good rotisserie chicken places? 
Also any Hallal Guys alternatives would be welcome. I keep giving them chances, and I keep having bad meals there. 

I’ve been really wanting to try Gourmandize Mediterranean Grill food truck at 2829 Chimney Rock. Their instructions agram looks pretty amazing.

Edit:

Not exactly what you were asking for, but they have grilled wings.

Nando's just opened in the old Berryhill location on Post Oak @ San Felipe. Just go straight up to the hottest sauce level. Grilled rather than rotisserie. Not sure there's rotisserie places around much anymore (rip Great Charcoal Chicken Company)

Been meaning to get to gourmandize as well, maybe next Saturday after dropping some electronics for recycling.

Loved that place. Jalapeno quarter, white, fries and iced tea. 

(I was a lot younger then.)

 

To keep this on topic, my dentist swears by We're Dough on Westheimer just east of Hillcroft, but I haven't made it myself yet.

Mean Grille - new spot at corner of Weslayan and Richmond (former Thai Cottage location). I’ve had their falafel wrap a couple of times and it is terrific.

I need to find an outstanding Middle Eastern restaurant in Houston.  There has to be one right.  This is needed in order to secure some Lebanese bush that misses her mom's cooking.

 

For Lebanese, Cafe Lili is hard to beat.
