Ranoush

Their food is so good!
One warning tho — this a no frills establishment. I mean, the soap container in the bathroom is an old lotion bottle. Food is served on paper plates. Seating is folding picnic chairs. The running joke among our friends is that the guys refuse to bring their wives, because they don’t want to offend them with the atmosphere. So, one star off for that.
However, silkiest hummus ever. Bomb bread, strong tea and tender meat. You won’t be sorry you tried it.
Also, not sure about service after midnight, but we’ve never had an issue.

I, along with 5 other friends, went to Ranoush tonight as we have many times before. This review is not about their food, which is honestly very good, but about their poor service.
We got there at 1:05am and gave our orders. We had a hookah, 4 entrees and an appetizer. Our food came out at 1:48am. We were missing an item and when asked for it, the waiters response was the kitchen is closed. 3 minutes later, the waiter came with the check and said that they need to close the register, since they close at 2am. We understood and paid our check. Then, promptly at 1:54am, the owners decided to shut off all the lights in order to clear everyone out.
So, we had to finish our meal with the flashlights on our iPhones while the busboy kept trying to clear our full plates saying he has to go home. We told the manager that we just got our food less than 10 minutes ago and if they had mentioned that they were going to close we would’ve taken it to go. All he could do was point at the clock on his phone saying he has to close. Eventually he did turn on one light for us, but was pressuring us to leave as soon as possible.
A word of advice to the owners and management, don’t treat your paying customers like trash after we’ve paid and tipped before we even started eating. You guys can make some great lamb kabob and some fancy renovations, but need some major overhaul in your customer service.

If there is one thing I always crave when I’m in Houston… it’s good Mediterranean food! I absolutely LOVE this place. The menu is simple and so is the food but all of the ingredients are FRESH! The chicken and lamb kabobs are cooked to perfection! You will not be disappointed.
I suggest getting the mixed plate with chicken tawook and lamb kabob with their smooth, creamy yummy hummus and either the tabouli or rice. I get the tabouli usually because it’s healthier but their rice is really tasty. I like to mix it in my garlic sauce and red sauce: P Oh and if you love onions… you’ll their grilled onions!
Ahhhh…my mouth is watery just writing this review!

GREAT food and a great hangout spot especially if your looking for somewhere to hang out with your boys

Great food and great hookah! It is seat yourself and sometimes it takes a little long to get a waiter! But after that the are really nice excellent, customer service, and again the food and hookah are wonderful!!!
