Zabak’s Mediterranean Café is a spotless little walk-up service restaurant with marble floors and 17 tables. If you have visitors who are craving falafel sandwiches, this is the place to take them. Zabak’s falafels are the best in the city. Crunchy on the outside and bright green and spicy hot on the inside, these chickpea patties make awesome sandwiches. The restaurant is run by the children of George Zabak, who made the falafel famous in Houston at a now-shuttered restaurant called Mama’s Po’Boys.

    This place is modern, clean and unpretentious. Order at the counter, and minutes later you'll be enjoying some terrific homemade Middle Eastern food from favorite family recipes. The hummus is as smooth as can be, and the baba ghanoush has a really smoky flavor, typical of this dish. The falafel is legendary, and the tabbouleh as authentic as you can get. Also try the kifta or shish kebobs or any of the shawarma sandwiches, and none will disappoint. End your meal with any of the sweet pastries that are representative of the region.
