Best Middle Eastern Food in Houston

Tahini Plus is criminally underrated this place should be way busier than it is. From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly friendly, patient, and welcoming, which already set the tone. The food? Absolutely smashed expectations. Had party of four. We ordered two kabob specials (each meant feed two people) and the portions were massive perfectly seasoned and grilled just right. We added an extra order of lamb, and it was ridiculously tender and packed with flavor. Basmati rice was Light, fluffy, fragrant. The hummus and pita were top-tier smooth, fresh, and paired perfectly with the well-mixed greens. Dessert took things to another level. The Riz bi Haleeb (rice pudding with cinnamon) was silky, comforting, and not too sweet—pure comfort in a bowl. The Atayef-style cheese crepe with ice cream and pistachios stole the show: warm and creamy with the perfect crunch, straight-up addictive. And don’t sleep on the mango smoothies—ice-cold, refreshing, and the perfect finish to the meal. Between the quality, portions, and genuine hospitality, Tahini Plus clearly puts heart into everything they do. We’re 100% coming back—and more people need to know about this spot. 🔥🍢🥭

We ordered a beef platter and a chicken platter. I love how the Palestinian/Arabic food is so mild on spices which is the reason I can eat a little more we took rice and fries with the meat and most definitely the beef was better in taste than the chicken The chicken was soft and juicy Will go again

We have been here once every two weeks for a few years. Food always be well prepared, look yummy and delicious. Their hospitality is amazing. My friend, front desk, always friendly to us. We are highly recommend you having great time here.

We came for the Ramadan buffet today and everything was absolutely amazing! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The mansaf was especially delicious perfectly cooked and full of authentic taste. A special thank you to Mohammed for his outstanding service and kindness. He made our experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!
