Greek Cuisine
Greek food is a fine melody of the finest pressed olive oil, fresh fermented bread, colorful vegetables, juicy meat, sea food all cooked in spices and fresh rosemary. The people from Greek were great scholars who aimed to excel in everything they do. The results are quite visible in their food as they are the inventors of olive oil which is beneficial to health. Greeks also made different type of wines from the best quality of grapes fermented in controlled environment.
Today, you can find hundreds of restaurants offering authentic Greek food or popularly termed as Mediterranean cuisine in New York city alone. People wait in line to taste the exotic Greek dishes like saganaki, taramasalata, souvlaki, loukoumades, spanakopita, moussaka, and many more. One thing which most people like about these authentic Greek dishes is abundant use of lemon juice, olive oil, fresh rosemary and sea salt. A smart mix of few ingredients can virtually take you on the pebble streets of beautiful city of Greece.
For those who don't have time to enjoy fine dining should try tasting the famous souvlaki with pita which is type of meat dish, also a trademark Greek fast food. For those who are vegetarian, or vegan can try different versions of Greek Salad. So, if you wish to enjoy a hearty yet healthy meal that tastes divine then try dining at the best Greek restaurant in your city. Greek cuisine not only tastes good but also help maintain your body in a natural way through healthy diet.

First time I had shawarma!! Cole slaw was Outstanding!! They always have a nice pepper blend around to kick up your meal. Atmosphere is open, but warm and comfy. Ppl were there, but we found a seat, served timely and were out of there less than 30 min. Can't wait to get back there and explore more of their menu. Thanks Lama

Waiting for a table to get bussed... Well, waiting for a table to get bussed was a minor inconvenience, but the food was absolutely amazing! I've had Greek, Mediterranean and Indian around the Woodlands, but the taste of the food at Lama's is absolutely head and shoulders above anything I have had around here! The flavor is so superior and the quality and skill shown by the chef makes any comparison of other places I have been to completely moot. If you want good Mediterranean, skip Dimassi's and head straight for Lama's.

I travel from boston every week and ethane lunch at least once in a week. This place awesome and heaven for vegetarians. Try Thier veggie platter and falafel sandwich. Quick service and clean place.
(5)Gerard B.
Delicious. I went with s group of four and we were very pleased with our dinner. Two of us had gyro sandwiches, another had a grilled chicken sandwich and the last had the chicken shish kabob meal. The good - the seasoning. The gyro meat was delicious. It was full of flavor and not overcooked or dry. The seasoned fries that came with it were very good too. The falafel was also well prepared and full of flavor. My wife really enjoyed her chicken shish kabob. The piece I tasted seemed a little dry, but maybe I was just not lucky in selecting the right piece. Also, her meal was huge. The so-so - the tzatziki. It was a little in the bland and boring side, but maybe it has to be that way so it doesn't compete with the flavor of the meats. And the chicken sandwich was nothing to special this time. The bad - nothing really.
(4)Duff M.
Eat at a LOT of Mediterranean places (like Fadi's) and this place absolutely rocks it! Food is very responsibly priced. Portion size is large and flavors were amazingly fresh and bold in all the right ways! Had lunch. May come back for dinner.
(5)Darren P.
Came in here late on a weekday and nobody was around. Food was still pretty food, service was so so. The tabbouleh is one of their best items. We had shawarmas which were nice. The rice pudding was just ok. Glad they stock oranginas!
(4)Quoc N.
We had Lama lamb chop and beef kabob. The beef kabob tastes like it was reheat not fresh grill. It was rough meat took some effort to chew. The lamb was good but not superb as they advertised. The salad side portion was ok not unique. Overall, this is an over rated mediterranean restaurant. Blow me why this is almost 5 stars rating. I guess folks around here have low expectation. I would not venture back here ever.
(3)Ivanna E.
Had lunch here today for the first time! Wonderful food! Had the beef shish kabob entree and the hummus plate. The only reason I gave it a 4 star instead of 5 is because my beef was not medium rare, like I ordered, but medium. This may not be a big deal to most but for me it is! Otherwise, it was delicious. We arrived at 11:40am and there were plenty of spots however, it filled up quickly. The restaurant is very clean and the atmosphere is calm. Will go again!
(4)Gerald W.
The food was really good and the Hookah was served timely. They could use some more variety on their Hookah flavors though. They were somewhat limited in that regard. Overall good experience. We will keep coming here.
(4)Karla W.
Best Mediterranean around! The rice is amazing. The kabobs, hummus and baba ghanoush are a favorite. The price can't be beat!
(5)Sima A.
Some of the best middle eastern food I've had in the states!! The hummus here is so good and tastes authentic , made me feel like I was in Jordan again .
(5)Julie C.
I'm still trying to figure out why it took me this long to try this place. My husband and I shared the vegetarian plate and beef shwarma. The veg plate was tasty and plentiful. The shwarma was delicious and a bargain at $6.99. I will surely be a regular here.
(5)Sarah J.
This place is a hidden gem in The Woodlands. I got the falafel sandwich and it was great! The hummus is also delicious and a generous portion. And hey, you can't beat these prices! My parents had the lamb shank and the gyros platter and both devoured theirs. I've eaten a lot of Mediterranean food over the years, and this was some of the best falafel I've had for the value. Check it out!
(5)Todd R.
Great flavors, quick service. We really enjoyed the menu selections.
(4)chad r.
Food is good, however the people that prepare the food in the back, deliver the food, clean up tables while wearing the same gloves they go back and prepare more food with, not very sanitary.
(2)Eternal T.
Loved their Lamb chops, Lamb burger and Orange Creme brûlée.
(4)Conan H.
Yo this has to be the most NON AUTHENTIC MEDITERRANEAN JOINT I'VE EVER BEEN TOO!! EVER! First off who puts potatoes in a shawarma. Protein,onions, tomatoes,garlic sauce!! Cole Slaw ??? Ceasar salads Really??? WTF GO to Aladdin,Alwadi,Kasra Persian Grill,Darband!!!! Then all these reviewers that give 4 plus stars here come back a re-review your non advanced Mediterranean pallets! Oh portion sizes and pitas are a complete joke.. DON'T WASTE YOUR CASH!
(2)Lucy F.
Ordered lunch to go. The vegetarian combination plate was fantastic, and I agree with others, it was huge. Service was fast and friendly. Would definitely go back.
(4)Ali J.
High quality ingredients cooked perfectly! Nice casual setting with plenty of room for large groups.
(5)Amber C.
Words cannot describe how much I love their food. We do take out at least once a week. It made living in the chain-restaurant-heaven Woodlands a little better ;) Always accurate and always polite. Try their kibbie.
(5)Kendall S.
This place lived up to its reviews. The lamb burger was delicious and super fresh. I definitely recommend coming in if you like Mediterranean food.
(5)Brad E.
This cafe is really beautiful and as you approach the front door, there is outdoor seating and hooka smoking. The hooka is $12 and I would much rather catch a movie with that money. The restaurant is truly cafe style, where you order, pay and then find a seat. The menu is very limited. You can choose between kabob, shwarma sandwiches, and some other meats, like lamb shank. The hummus was very good but the portion size was very small. There are two bins near the cash register that had fresh pita squares and pita chips. The pita chips appear to be deep fried pita and they are fabulous. The tabouli was very fresh but uber sour and all I could taste was lemon. The chicken kabob was the highlight of the meal. The chicken is so flavorful from the marinade and it was cooked perfectly. The kabob is served with rice, which was tasteless, and a cucumber salad that was very dull and oily. The tomatoes in the cucumber salad seemed to take over the salad, like it had been prepared too far in advance. The falafel appeared homemade, but they were, again, very bland. I was really hoping that this place would rival the Mediterranean buffet down the street, but for me, they didn't even come close.
(2)Devaprasad K.
This is one of best mediterranian restaurant .. Clean place and food is fresh and simple. love their meat platter/ Gyros which is cooked with perfectiona dn nice flavors.
(5)Big Mike B.
I hope new customers won't come to Lama with a preconceived idea of how the food here "ought to taste." If you keep your mind open, your taste buds will be rewarded. The name of the restaurant may unfortunately lead many of us Americans to expect Greek-style ingredients and food preparation. For example, it's easy to confuse a Greek-style gyro with Shawarma. When I first entered Lama, I was expecting more lamb-based dishes. However, once I reviewed the menu and reoriented my expectations, I was completely satisfied. Hey, it's a moderately priced cafe, not a formal restaurant, so don't expect an expansive menu with more sophisticated selections. My reference is 30 years of enjoying Middle Eastern cuisine with Arabic & Persian origins. I still love a good gyro, and more formal middle eastern restaurants, but I'd go elsewhere for those. For an authentic, moderately priced middle eastern cafe, Lama is great!
(5)Randy L.
awsome food, ppl friendly,reasobly price . eat here do it...eat heree this is the onlt decent meadeterauamn fooos aroind here,juat eat here yaa... ....nomnom..
(5)Kelly R.
It's in a shopping center near Jimmy John's. The place was very clean when we went and everyone was very nice. We've gone here twice. We ordered the vegetarian platter, Labaneh, baklava and lama speciality cocktail. I absolutely love their baba ganouge. It isn't a overpowering eggplant flavor like some of the other restaurants I've been to. I also really enjoyed their baklava.
(5)Darlene W.
I went here with my mother yesterday... What a hidden TREASURE!! Great food, great service, nice, quiet and not too packed, just like I love it! We had the lamb chops and they were delicious
(5)Viet T.
Good Hummus, taste different than but just as good as Shwarma King's hummus. The Beef Kabob tastes OK, but a little dry, even though I requested medium. The Lamb Chops are very good. The Lamb Shank is decent, not fantastic but not bad at all. Of all the dishes there, I would each the Lamb Chops again and again if I had to choose one dish. Oh, the lentil soup is good too. It's not just salt and lentils. It might have a little bit of potato in it, so if you are on a carbless diet, be aware. You can taste the herbs and the salt is just enough to taste. Good luck!
(3)Valerie M.
This is without a doubt one of the best restaurants I've ever been to in my entire life. The food is AMAZING. Ive tried almost everything on the menu and nothing has ever been short of absolutely delicious. I dine in or order take out multiple times a week haha. Its kind of embarrassing how often I go, but it's too good to not go that often. I'm obsessed with the stuffed grape leaves and beef shawerma, and I love their hummus and pita bread; its always warm and fresh. Their beef kabob plate is always cooked tender and to perfection. This place is just too good!
(5)Diana P.
My husband and I love Lama Mediterranian Cafe. We dine here at least once a week. He's partial to the vegetarian platter and I've been all over the menu. My personal favorites are the kufta kabab platter and the lamb chops. I think the falafel is very nice, and I like the garlic sauce for dipping pita bread or garnishing foods. Oh, and my husband doesn't generally like baba ganoush, but he swears that this dish at Lama is their best. We think there's no better Mediterranean/Middle Eastern restaurant around The Woodlands. And I'm pretty sure we've tried them all!
(4)Raymond I.
This place is absolutely phenomenal. I always get the beef shish kabob and for $9 it is amazing. Can easily feed two people. Because this place is so good, I have a feeling that they are outgrowing their currently location or will have to hire more people to keep up with demand. This is my go to place in The Woodlands to get my Mediterranean fix!! Keep up the great work!!
(5)Isabel A.
When my Turkish husband moved from south of Houston to Woodlands we didn't have many options of find Mediterranean food. Lucky I came across this place he fell in love with it. The place is very clean, the food is fresh and so tasty! He loves the lamb chops they are juicy and so good. I like their gyros. Over y'all place is really nice he was impressed by it. We eat here at least once a week. Oh their orange Crème brûlée is awesome. Best Mediterranean restaurant in the Woodlands
(5)Chris B.
Lama is a frustrating place. They get so much right, but so much is wrong it's hard to recommend without reservations. The shish kabob platter is a good case in point. The meat was grilled perfectly to order, and it was certainly tender. It was also very lightly seasoned, and the marinade was undetectable (at least the menu says it was marinated meat). The rice was absolutely wonderful, with long, tender grains and a warm, comforting flavor. The "pickle salad" (don't know what it's really called) was really good. The side salad was chopped up tomatoes, cucumbers, and herbs in some kind of oil dressing. It would have benefited mightily from an acid kick, but as served, it's an uninspiring thing and not worth eating. The pita bread was a fine, but not any better than the grocery store stuff. The complimentary pita chips, though, are almost worth a visit all by themselves. You can choose from a wonderful garlic sauce (not for everybody, as it has a powerful garlic flavor, but I love it), an OK tzatziki sauce, or a very nice fiery red pepper sauce. Counter service only; no complaints there. I guess the problem with Lama isn't so much with what it is, but with what you can tell it might be with a little tweaking. Sadly, nothing has changed between my first visit shortly after opening and my most recent visit.
(3)Gonzalo C.
Outstanding food and best value I've found in a long time, please don't change the quality of your food and price. We tried three different entrees and all three were incredible, I plan to go back next week.
(5)Gustavo B.
What excellent food and exceptional value! Large quantities served. We shared the baba ganoush and each of us had a swarma plate. Ended with a piece I'd baklava. Outstanding. Will be back when in the area!
(5)Matt R.
Overall a good meal. The Gyro was off the cone which is the only way. Sliced a little too thin. I paid for the extra meat and I don't feel like I received it at all. Should have gotten the baklava instead of the creme brûlée for dessert. Not worth it. Don't call it creme brûlée if you are not going to caramelize the top!!
(4)Ricardo A.
My wife and I have eaten here 3 times already, and will keep coming back! Excellent mediterranian food, both beef (tender pieces) and kufta (seasoned ground beef) shish kabobs are very good, had both the kutfa sandwich and plate, which comes with rice and salad, and we usually add sides of tabouli, falafel, kibbeh. Have not tried the beef or chicken shwerma yet. Service is order and pay at the counter, then brought to the table; staff is very friendly and seems to be a family owned business. Prices are very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food.
(5)Jordan T.
Always fresh and authentic.
(4)Ryan V.
Had pickup from Lama, it was ok. Friend of mine was all excited and wanted to get some, but due to scheduling or something we decided to go with takeout. I reckon it woulda been better fresher and with access to all the pita you want, etc, from the sounds of it. Ever since I had an amazing shwarma from M&M Grill on Almeda, I've been looking for more :) M&M is still winning... Hummus - Got the appetizer side in case we didn't have enough. It was ok... But frankly the leftovers sat in the fridge and went bye bye. Pita Bread - Both the pitas were good! We had the fried and the regular. Shawarma - The shawarma was fine. Nothing special in my opinion. But not offensive :D Overall pretty ok food. Would like to try sit down though, less hassle. What were we thinking getting mediterranian to go...?
(3)Liya B.
Hidden away, quiet, good food and great mint hookah!
(4)Daniela A.
I really enjoy Lama cafe :-) I always have the vegetarian platter and share it with my mum as we are vegetarians. I find this cafe to be clean which is very important to me. I also find the prices to be very inexpensive! I noticed other reviewers saying it was expensive but I can't imagine it being any less money unless it was a fast food chain. I really find this place to be enjoyable and appreciate the authentic Middle Eastern music as opposed to a local pop radio station. It is casually delightful.
(5)Justin A.
This place makes probably my most favorite hummus. If I want to eat out and not feel guilty about what I eat, this Is where I go. Kufta shish kebab is a must try.
(5)Alexander R.
Absolutely Delicious. Very light too so you don't feel like a slob after eating a nice meal - which is rare these days.
(5)Gwen O.
We had take out........The food was good, but not the best Mediterranean food we have had. Hubs had the beef gyro. I had the veggie plate. The hummus was good. Salad was good. The lentil soup, however, was the best I have ever had. Anywhere. Period. I love their pita bread. We would definitely go there again. It was busy when we were there for pick up. Even though I had called in the order and gave them the agreed upon time to pick up, I still had to wait a few minutes.
(3)April R.
So good. Been waiting for a good Mediterranean spot nearby for a LONG time! We got the beef shush, lamb chops (oh my!!) and beef gyro platter. The host was kind enough to replace one of our platters rice for hummus. We have pretty high expectations for food and We left Happy.. With lots of food to bring home for the next day. lOVE it and so friendly always catering or it's customers
(5)Amanda C.
I go here with my 2 1/2 year old son every 1-2 weeks. We LOVE the falafel sandwich and coleslaw side. Friend of mine came with us the last 2 times and she substituted a side salad for the slaw. The baba ganoush is really good as well. It is a small cafe with great prices and amazing food. You can't beat that!
(5)Lindsey B.
I've been to this place a handful of times since opening and I am a fan. The hummus and tabouli have been spot on everytime and the shwarmas are excellent. I'm not a fan of the coleslaw side and wish there were more side options.
(4)Amanda P.
Great prices and delicious food. All the salads and sides are very tasty and it's a wonderful place to go with a group so you can sample things and see what suits you best. Fresh hummus, chopped salads, greek salad...and I tend to get the beef kebob plate which I like medium rare. It's different, not a big chain, and it's worth a try and I bet you'll go back a lot.
(4)Vivek D.
I was on a business trip to The Woodlands, TX and so stopped by at this place for dinner on a week day. The food was very pricey and they don't even give you hummus for the pita bread (which comes along with the entree). I ordered Chicken Sheesh Kabob and Lamb Shank for my wife and paid more than 30$ just for two entrees. The food was ordinary and nothing special. At Fadi's, you get a much better deal for the money you spend. Huge disappointment for me (even after so many good reviews in Yelp).
(2)Whitney D.
Great Mediterranean cafe. Prices are reasonable, food is great, Turkish coffee is amazing. I ordered the falafel sandwich, it was one of the best I've had. Good place to eat
(5)Ahmed A.
What a sweet surprise! We just moved from the Middle East to the US and more specifically, the Woodlands. We decided to give it a shot on a Sunday afternoon and the place was buzzing. Staff was friendly and food was authentic. This is more levantine and not greek food. The laidback set up of the cafe made it comfortable and very family friendly. It is informal too which i liked for a change but certainly not fast food-ish. Give it a try! Oh, and the hookah was good too!
(5)Kat P.
Lama Cafe is good lunch spot in the Woodlands. The falafel sandwich is very tasty and comes with coleslaw. Reasonable prices, friendly staff, and nice, casual environment.
(4)Eve F.
I love trying new food, but the time we visited this place was not a good experience. We went for an early dinner, maybe 3 or 4pm, and the food was cold and the customer service left much to be desired. Maybe we visited at the wrong time, but is it ever really a wrong time to visit a restaurant? I will not be returning to this place.
(2)Hera S.
I agree with a previous reviewer: hummus tasted like pure tahini, the pita was dry, and my husbands gyro was bland. I had the vegetarian platter which was just ok, the one big stand out for me was their baba ghanoush, I would make the trip just for orders of it; besides that I don't think we'll be back.
(2)Nicole K.
Soooo authentic and amazing! Everything is good! You can always judge by the hummus, theirs is too good!
(5)Mrs. R.
Bad initial impression. Had a coupon that they wouldn't accept bcz it was on my phone, not printed out. I'll take responsibility for that, but they really should accept mobile coupons since this is a very tech-savvy/-heavy world we live in now. With that said, the food was OUTSTANDING! Everything was absolutely delicious. If you're craving Mediterranean cuisine, go here. You won't be disappointed. :)
(5)Amanda D.
Just DELICIOUS!!! I would recommend this place to anyone. Recently also Hakkas available! Food is off the chain specially the gyros and chicken shwarmas! Go, you won't regret it!!!!!! Oh the butter garlic sauce tho!!? Mmmmmm!!
(5)Nivedita B.
I must actually say three and a half stars. Ambiance is very casual and pleasant for an evening outing. I had the shish Kabob, the meat was well cooked and tasty, the flavored rice was yumm. Salad was ok. Their garlic sauce is double yumm, I must agree with the other reviewer. The chicken sandwich was tasty too. The hummus was a little bland is what I thought. Overall it is a good Mediterranean restaurant to go eat.
(3)Chem B.
You honestly cannot go wrong with anything on Lama's menu. Time and time again these guys deliver consistent quality food at good value. Not a full service place (but they do being your food out). I recently had the kafta plate and it was superb. Unlimited tahini and garlic sauce. And traditional hot sauce out for grabbing to complement your meal. Very few places that far north of Houston can meet or compete with Lama. I hear they do offer hookah but haven't had the chance to try. All in all I recommend this place for its quality meals and laid back atmosphere.
(5)Deborah S.
So dropped in for a gyro fix and have been going back ever since. Very generous portions, very fresh and never had a disappointing item. Have tried almost everything now and will continue to go back. Comfortable atmosphere, friendly staff and never had to wait long for service or the meal.. If I only I lived closer I would be there every week!
(4)Jason P.
Spent 4 days in Texas and this was my first meal from the Hobby Airport. Came here around 4pm local time. Since it wasn't the peak dining hours, our group of 3 were able to seat right away. Nice casual setting. You order at the counter and they bring it to your table. We shared a small sized hummus appetizer with pita bread. After devouring it like beasts, we realized we should have ordered the larger size. I had the Gyros Sandwich which also came with some fries. I've never had a bad gyro before. It was delicious. I don't know if it was because it was my first real meal of the day (traveled east and lost hours) but I could have eaten more food in general. The menu selection here is larger and has more to choose from compared to other Mediterranean restaurants I've been to. Many dessert choices and there's also a hookah for $13+ I'd like to come back here again in the future to try other entrees from the menu. 4.5 stars.
(5)Rick G.
Just moved to The Woodlands a month ago and have been here half a dozen times. Can't get enough!! I crave it every day.
(5)Mary O.
The vegetarian combination plate was huge. It consisted of 2 falafel balls, 4 pita pieces, Greek salad, tabouleh, grape leaves and hummus. They don't skimp on the olive oil. The falafel balls were drier than other places I've tried, but tasted nuttier like quinoa and had a lot of sesame seeds. I prefer the garlic sauce over the tahini sauce that they had near the complimentary pita chip station. Overall, I think the food was pretty average in taste, but I enjoyed it.
(4)Divya K.
Nothing to write home about. The hummus had too much tahini. The meat on the gyro platter was very dry. And the Kibbeh wasn't all that great either. The only thing I liked was their Pita bread.
(2)Sean C.
I don't live in Texas anymore. What's something I miss about it? No, silly, not the heat, it's Lama! This is seriously one of the best, if not the best, Mediterranean Cafes I've ever been to. It's never crowded, it's cute, and the staff are just awesome. The prices are also pretty fantastic as I always leave with another meal for the next day because they give you so much food! I've tried a variety of things here: the falafels, stuffed grape leaves, tabouli salad, greek salad, gyro platter, shawerma platter, rice pudding, and baklava. The falafels are spiced perfectly, grape leaves are fantastic (according to the boy), both salads are yummy and fresh, and both platters are amazing. I never tried rice pudding before coming to Lama and it is so refreshing, different, and delicious! It's sweet but not overly. The baklava......holy smokes. The BEST I've ever had. It is just to die for. I would fly back to Texas just to get a slice of that. Yep, I would. They offer two different sauces for your meal (and NO you don't have to pay extra for it!): a tzatziki sauce and a garlic one. Both are awesome and I always like to use both! They also let you get pita bread for your meal as well (again, no additional charge). The boyfriend and I could come here and order an appetizer, two entrees, and a dessert for about $30. Plus, we always ended up taking half the food home so we really got two meals out of it! If you live in the area and haven't been here yet, seriously, what's your problem? RUN TO LAMA!
(5)Ben F.
The food was fresh and delicious. My first, and so far only, visit I ordered a chicken shawarma. It LOOKED great, it turned out to be bigger than initial impressions and tasted great!
(4)Tessah W.
Oh my word. Worst Greek food I have EVER had (we love Greek!) Super gross flavors. Ie sweet/bland dolmades, black olive, cabbage and green pepper Greek salad. Sweet overly smooth hummus, hamburger bun like pita. I would absolutely not recommend their food. For us, it didn't help that there were no seats that weren't getting smoked out by the hookah at most tables. No, thank you!
(1)G L.
Ordered a lamb burger with fries, it was pretty good. I would go back again and try some additional things on their menu. They have a sidebar with different dips that you can try. Going to add a picture
(4)Savannah G.
My first visit and I got the Lamb Burger. It was AMAZING! Fresh ingredients and very authentic Mediterranean food. I will definitely be visiting again to try more on the menu.
(5)Dan S.
I've been here twice, and both times had terrible service. The food was very mediocre.
(3)Steven G.
Came for lunch, service was quick. Food was decent, the baklava was excellent, and it was nice and cool inside
(3)Heather K.
Salad grape leaves and hummus to die for! Very nice man at the counter ! Think it was father and son
(5)Mary N.
Very nice restaurant in well designed upscale commerce area. The food was reasonably priced- our $30 lunch would have satisfied three hungry diners. The hummus was smooth and the olive oil was great quality. Never been a fan of baba ganoush, this one was good- but I still don't like. The meats were really good, my favorite was the gyro. Loved the tahini and garlic sauce help yourself option with pita. Next te I would ask for the salads to be dressed lightly, they were kind of gloppy. The rice pudding wasn't overly sweet- just ok. I am stingy with my stars- and it was worthy of 4
(4)Chad A.
Great prices, ridiculous portions and everything was good. The meat platter was a good cure for the morning after a wedding. Of the three meats, gyro was the standout imo.
(4)M H.
Great food made up for the lack luster service. Hats off to the kitchen. The falafel was very tender and moist. All the salads were fresh. Ps. Send the order taker back to dish washing duties. Super yummy grape leaves.
(4)Lisa C.
Really, really tasty. Don't let the Spartan setting fool you. These folks know luxurious food. I really like their hummus. The cream, smooth texture is wonderful and the flavor is great. I also like their dolmades. Very lemony and good. The kibbeh is large and highly flavored with cinnamon and some nutmeg too. Yummy. Lastly, that lamb burger is scrumptious. The model is counter service, so walk up, order your food, get your drinks and condiments, put the number on your table and your food arrives soon. Be sure to get some harissa and some garlic sauce. They are very tasty additions to their food.
(4)Natalie M.
Lamb chops were amazing!! It was so tender and well seasoned!
(5)Victor H.
A wonderful spot for Mediterranean food. I had the falafel along with the vegetarian platter. This is a lot of food for a very very good price! Plus, I had the Turkish coffee with a great taste. The food is fresh and I love the atmosphere! Definitely coming back, again!
(5)Mohamad K.
Stopped here today with my family. Portions are good. Food was great and came out quickly. Place was clean. Staff was friendly. I would recommend this restaurant. I will be returning soon. Prices were fair but maybe a little high.
(4)Brandy Z.
It's good to have a mediterránean place in woodlands. The food is ok. But I'm from detroit and it's the land of mediterránea food so I'm kinda a snob.

Excellent Mediterranean food! These guys bring flavor to the The Woodlands with the food and atmosphere.

My husband and I wanted to check out this restaurant because we enjoy trying hummus at different places. Their hummus was creamy but not much flavor. They have an amazing garlic sauce and we added that to the hummus which made it better. Their crispy pita chips are good but a little greasy. Loved the lamb chops so tender and flavorful! The chicken and beef were good especially inside the pita with the garlic sauce. Not sure if we will go back but it was worth trying.

What a lucky find!!! Aaaaaamazing food!!! 5+ stars! This was my first visit to Lama Mediterranean Cafe and I ordered take out: hummus, tabouli salad, falafel, beef kebob and some baklava. Every single bite of every dish (we split the meal with my husband) was absolutely delicious, fresh and perfectly cooked! The food was prepared promptly and waiting at the Cafe was pleasant - the place is very neat, clean and spacious. Beautiful regional music creates a pleasant ambiance. The take out meal was neatly and functionally packed, which made transporting it home a breeze. What a lovely dinner it was after a busy day of running errands! Thank you, Lama Cafe! We'll be back :-))

I had the marinated chicken sandwich. It was full of flavor. I added feta from my salad in the sandwich which made it 2 x's better, only because i love feta. Great food, great service, great environment, will be back!

Amazing food and reasonably priced! Two of us usually split a veggie platter and either a shawarma platter or lama meat platter. Easily fills us up with enough food for lunch and maybe dinner the next day for both of us! The garlic sauce for the shawarma is delicious and goes great with the dish. We also love the grape leaves and sometimes get an order in addition to the ones that come with the veggie platter. The restaurant is also very clean and kid-friendly (we have a very vocal under-1 kid :-)

Went around 1pm to avoid the rush. Every table that wasn't sat was dirty except for one. The gentleman running the register didn't even say hello. I ordered my food and sat at the only table not dirty. I got my food which was good, but when I got up to refill my drink the busser started clearing my table. I barely started eating my food! The guy at the counter and one of the cooks saw this and just looked and did nothing! So I didn't even get to finish my food! Food may be good but service is terrible!

This place is fantastic. The food is very good quality and the portions are generous and the prices are very fair.
