Reviews for Abu Ali in Houston, TX
My husband and I went here for the first time a few days ago and we absolutely enjoyed our experience here. Their service here... is amazing and so is the food. If you are looking to try out a new restaurant this is definitely the place to go. Read more
Food is excellent, but waiters ….. it feels like they are not happy to see you. Instead of checking on customers they are on... their phones. The first waitress came to me ( no smile, no hello, nothing) started taking the order and wasn’t sure if theitem I ordered they had it or not, she said she will check and will let me know, guess what? She never came back. She isbeautiful but no personality whatsoever. A little later another waiter came to take the order, he wasn’t bad I could evensay he was friendly. But it was a hassle to order , English problems, I totally understand that, I’m an immigrant myself andstarted in USA AS a waitress with no English. So it’s ok. But you don’t need to speak the language to SMILE, right? When hebrought the check out it was 18% service charge. I didn’t even ask why he put 18% service charge, as the matter of fact I Leftextra 20% for tips, cause I used to work as a waitress, so always leave extra. The waiter didn’t even say thank you. A persongiving you a 38% tip, I think you can say thank you or by by or smile , something. It wasn’t my first time coming to thisplace. I liked the food. But before it was another waiter taking care of me, I don’t know his name. Tall guy and smiley andvery pleasant, he made me feel welcome. But last 2 times terrible experience …. Never going back , I’ll take my moneyelsewhere, there are plenty restaurants around and I don’t want to come to a place where waters make you feel they don’twant you here. Read more
It seems to be a hookah smoking place. I don't do that. Got Greek salad and kifer and cheese for take away. Salad was first... rate. Being an old white Texan I didn't know what I bought as far as the breads were concerned. Tall young man was very nice andhelpful. It was 4 in the afternoon and I paid $25 bill with a $100 and he was nonplussed about it. Read more
The food is delicious. great and generous manager, excellent customer service. I ordered dinner around 10:30 and it didn't take... long for them to prepare an order for three big meals. No disappointments at all Read more
I loved the place and the environment. Good service and the food was amazing. Totally recommended. My family is from Siria and... since it’s a Lebanese place the food can be a little different than I’m used to, but still was good. I’ll come back soon. Read more
Great food and hookah with reasonable prices. Mango habanero wings are a must try here. Service a bit spotty so they need to... work on that but first time and pandemic staffing so cut them some slack for now . Read more
We were told they have some amazing knafeh so we ordered and went there. They freshly made knafeh at 12am, just for us!!! I mean... thats great service! They are usually open till 3am and knowing that I can get knafeh whenever im craving is huge!!!! (Ps-knafehaddicts here) Knafeh was pretty good size. The syrup and pistachios came separately. Which is nice. So one xan adjust theirsweet level. The cheese in the middle was thick!!!! The dough on the top was a bit crispy.. but its all good. Havent tried theother food or dine in. But the place looks absolutely amazing and ready for sit down dine in options. Cant wait to go there whenthe world turns normal. Read more
Highly unreliable cafe. They are open until 5am but they can't serve any menu items- their kitchen is closed all the time. Not... one but numerous instances happened via uber eats and walk-ins. Read more
