Middle East Restaurant - Mediterranean restaurant in Corpus Christi - 844500010020, 5405 Everhart Rd, USA

Went for lunch, I got the butter chicken, it was really good. On Thursdays their special is the lamb shank which I normally get and it is superb. Their service is normally very good but on this day there was a young man working the counter and he wasn’t paying attention to anything and my wife’s order came out wrong, parts had to go back to the kitchen and when we ordered the brownie to go, he tried to give it to us on a plate. // Update: we went back today, 10 August 2023 and the same server was there. We were the only table sitting and I heard “Order Up” after about 5 min probably more the cook finally brought our food out because it had been sitting so long and by then everything was just barely warm. To the owners, this kid is killing your business and we heard other disgruntled patrons complaining by the time we left. We won’t be back until he’s gone. There used to be people behind the counter that cared and knew how to do their job. It’s unfortunate because the food here really is top notch.

OCT 2023: Still good. Chicken, beef, and Lamb Schawarma Trio is a great plate to sample a variety. Original review: Good option for Middle Eastern food, with Shawarma and Kabob wraps & plates, Buttery Chicken, rice, hummus, and of course dessert fav's like Baklava. Attached to a neighborhood Middle Eastern Market so you can get all the supplies and ingredients to make your own at home if you like. They do charge a 3.5% uplift for using a credit card, cash payment avoids this.

They have menu items and a "buffet" with daily specials. Everything looked good, and I selected the spicy butter chicken with lentil rice. It's a large serving. The chicken was very tender, and while there was spice, it was light and just added to the deliciousness of the meal. The lentil rice was really good. Highly recommend.

My review is coming from a vegetarian's POV. I tried the hummus which was not very good. Being a Mediterranean restaurant, I expected the hummus to be on point. They do have a well stocked mini mart next to the restaurant which is 5 🌟. I frequent the mini mart to get authentic spices and Asian products. Their prices are also unbeatable.

I had the Wednesday special, which was spicy buttered chicken over rice. It was fantastic! Not too spicy, but enough to enhance the flavor. Staff was super nice, and the restaurant was clean. The market has an interesting assortment of stuff to buy too.

Ordered monster burger and gyro. With these prices great performance. I asked them if the food is halal and they confirmed.

I wanted to get some hummus & pita bread for dinner. Honestly their price for this is the most reasonable place to buy it, it is about the same price but you get about 3x more compared to Eirinis Gyros & More. However the pita bread is thin and not homemade. I also decided to try a Lebanese salad, Tabbouleh. I tried this long time ago with some Lebanese college friends, very similar taste except they had more bulgar in it. Very unique but refreshing taste. I also had a chicken shawarma wrap with sauce and Lebanese relish & pickles. The chicken was good, the pickles & relish brought some crunch to some bites. They have a special plate Monday-Friday. I visited again, this time on a Wednesday to try their spicy butter chicken on Lebanese rice and pita bread. This was a great dish, it had big chunks of chicken breast and the sauce was a little spicy but not too spicy. The rice had lentils in it, very good tasting. The only thing that would make this dish better would be to cut the chicken pieces smaller. I think it would bring some moisture to the chicken.

My favorite little hidden gem. Gyro plate changed my life. There Greek salad with green goddess dressing on top is life. It comes free with a gyro plate. Can't go wrong with the special of the day. My girl loves there deserts. There bread is so delicious. Humus is 🔥there rice is addictive. Everything is top notch. I love it .
