Had dinner last night for the first time at Hamsa. We loved everything about it. I love that we finally have a great Israeli restaurant in Houston. Hummus was perfection. Pita bread as good as it gets. The smoked Eggplant was fantastic and the smoky flavor penetrated the whole dish and was wonderful. The best part of the meal was the Steak skewers. The beef was delicious. The side salad was great.

We went back to Hamsa on Friday night for dinner and while I did find it to be a definite improvement on our last visit I still felt like there was room for improvement. We were seated right when we arrived for our 6:45 reservation. The restaurant was lively but not at capacity while we were there. We were able to order our cocktails right away and easily throughout the course of our meal and service overall was very good. We started with the Wholeshebang (added a side of cucumber) which I quiet enjoyed, though the restaurant was a little to loud for me to be able to hear what each dish was when the waiter brought them to the table. We also got the roasted cabbage, octopus, hangar steak, chicken kabob (off menu special) and the cauliflower couscous. My favorite dish of the evening was the roasted cabbage, it was smoky and crispy and delicious. My main critique is of the general ambiance. I feel like they are aiming to be an upscale restaurant and while the interior does feel that way I feel like there is also a distinctly casual vibe. Generally speaking I think that is fine, but for the menu price point I wouldn’t mind it feeling a little less laid back. Like the menus could still be paper but maybe a cardstock instead of something that I could have printed off at home. It just feels like it is missing some elevated details.

WOOOOW this place was incredible. Easily booked a reservation online and was seated immediately when we arrived. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable of the menu and answered all of our questions. Drinks were unique and yummy and every single dish we got was delicious. I could’ve eaten just the pita bread alone and been happy, it was that good. The turmeric potatoes were also some of the best potatoes we’ve ever had. Awesome place to come if you enjoy sharing plates.

I ate a Hamsa for lunch during Houston restaurant week. This is a great time to try new restaurants and be able sample several items for a fixed price. Their lunch is $25 and you get a starter, entree and dessert.

Delicious mediterranean flavors at Hamsa, really enjoyed the kebab. Tasted like it was cooked by grandma herself. The decor was very well designed and food was very nicely presented. Very nice atmosphere to have a night out with friends and family, a little loud for a romantic date night and service was a bit slow at times. Overall hamsa was a delicious experience that everyone should try. Would definitely recommend a

This is a new favorite for me. The food is mouthwatering goodness, beautifully plated and perfectly paired. This little spot in Rice Village manages to stroke the perfect balance between casual but posh and not expensive but excellent quality so you get a lot of bang for your buck. The happy hour is a perfect time to go if you are looking for a less expensive, quiet intimate date or friend check in. The service is out of this world and the indoor outdoor duality gives it a Cali feel in the middle of Houston. I can’t wait to come back for more! I can’t recommend enough the hummus it’s lamb which was velvety smooth and packed with flavor.

Stopped here for lunch on a Saturday – their lunch menu is limited but had more than enough options for me and my partner. We tried the Lamb Lahmajun (flatbread) and the kebab. Both were phenomenal! The restaurant is beautiful inside and out, and also has a pretty bar for those looking for a more casual vibe. Parking was easy as the big garage for the area is across the street and is free for the 1st 2 hours. Highly recommend!

Hands down the best Mediterranean food experience I’ve had in Houston. The owners have done a fantastic job creating the menu, and the interior of the restaurant is beautiful. Great bar as well if you’re doing drinks or wine with a smaller group.

Everything was excellent. The service was impeccable. Beautiful atmosphere. The food was well made and abundant, though overfilling, even just appetizers without a main dish. While the menu is impressive and food was delicious, my allergies only left me with 3 options to try and had to look up almost everything on the menu to know what it was.
