Reviews for Cafe Mawal in Houston, TX
Honestly, this is my 3rd time here and it's been subpar everytime; service, food, hookah, anything we asked for or needed was a... problem... yikes. I had the guy that goes around with coal argue with me because I didn't like his coal placement. Everytime weneeded something I had to track down the server. Half of the things we ordered were out of stock and it really seemed like theout of stock was a convenient excuse for a lackadaisical devil may care attitude. Just my 2 cents but I'll never go back.

I took my friend there. It was our first time eat there. I love Mediterranean food; kebab, humus and shawarma. This place gets... 3* because rice was so dry like they cooked it in the morning and serving all day. Humus had some kind of weird sour taste. OnlyShish kebab was fine. Btw server was nice and helpful but he only came to table twice; for serving the food and picking updishes. Read more
Fantastic food, like really really fantastic! It is must try! Fresh, authentic and rich. Great portions and super clean!!
Great food and good hookah! Outside seating available on the patio. Had the kunufeh, falafel plate and chicken kabob all which... we were satisfied with. Prices were reasonable and our server was cool - no complaints here. Read more
Just went to have dinner with some friends and I must say the restaurant looks cleaner from the last time that I went, maybe... they have new management. Had a nice time, friendly service, good teamwork from the staff and the most delicious desserts. Keepup the good work. Read more

The humus and pita was de-licious!! Thanks to the staff and chefs, you guyshave an amazing establishment! Overall my new favorite spot!! Read more
I ordered the falafel entree, and the kunafa dessert, and both were delicious! The falafel were crispy on the outside, and... soft/crumbly on the inside, all with a great taste. It was my first time having kunafa, and it was beautiful! It is made oflayers of noodles and cheese, soaked with a sweet syrup, and then topped with pistachios; I highly recommend it. The staff werekind and helpful, and both attentive but not pushy. I enjoyed the atmosphere and felt comfortable reading on my own whileeating. Read more
Update : Beware They don't serve you free a glass of water. They only have bottled water. You pay! It's kind a weird! We come... here at least once a month. The restaurant's clean, quiet and the food so good. We always order the same over and over again.Mawal Plate..thats it . We love their fried cauliflower too. Until today, I see Mawal lunch special for less than $10. Itsshawarma combo plate,combination beef and chicken shawarma with rice. Olala..they give big portion meat. I have to share it withmy son. And lunch comes with either baklava or red tea with mint. I always pick red tea with mint. Hot and refreshing. So I knowwhat i order next time.... I went back and order latte..yummm Read more
