Al-Arabi

Great flavor of the lamb kabob that I just got. Chef is friendly and owner came and talked to me. I am for sure gonna be back.

The best sandwiches in all of Houston! Always authentic, always hot and always ready. They never disappoint and i’m always hungry for more. My favourites are the kifta sandwhich and shish tawouk sandwich with extra toumeyeh (garlic sauce) and shata (spicy sauce).

Super rude people especially the one who prepares the order went there last night and he gave me an attitude as if hes running a very established fine dining, the only reason I go there was to support his efforts but as of last night I am done with this truck not that he was out of stuff to put on the sandwich but when I asked him to add another sandwich to the order he got mad saying you should order once hes soo busy to be taking additional orders while I was the only one in his parking.
So in short words if you are really out of choices at that time of night I guess its ok other wise the guy has lost his tempur getting so much attention from people like me promoting his place.

I’ve had lamb kebabs twice, from this truck. They’re very good & reasonably priced. Pleasant service. Descriptions of the food would be helpful, though.

Try their kababs. So delicious. Nice, friendly staffs. Keep making these delicious food Qusai.

Stay way this place is rip off, they charge me $ 18 for one plate, zero respect for those guys who working inside this truck, during Ramadan try to rip people off, please avoid this place

I went there last night unfortunately they don’t have shawrma at that time so I order three different kind of sandwichs but unfortunately they don’t have humas to put in the sandwich and they don’t have garlic sauce and no fries too so the sandwiches were kind of dry and small.
the options that you can put in the sandwich are mix sauce which is basically ketchup and mayonnaise, tahini sauce, lettuce, parsley, some kind of salad that I’m not sure what is it.
Beef kofta and beef kabobs are good. The chicken was dry.
The sandwich costs $ 6
Open from 4 p.m. until 4 a.m.

Try their Lamb Kafta kabob. They make it there and then! The taste reminds me of street food in middle east! Love it!

Excellent food, hit the spot! Staff was very nice, haven’t been in the US for very long so a bit of a communication gap, but came across as extremely friendly. Bit of a wait, but well worth it.
They’re open from 4pm to 4am so I will definitely come here as a late spot.
I highly recommend this place!

I have driven by this food truck numerous times but never stopped by and checked it out, until last night. It’s right in front of my neighborhood during his dinner service. I wouldn’t exactly call this a gourmet food truck by any means, but it’s not really a roach coach either.
It is located literally right next to the sidewalk along Westheimer, in front of a novelty/​smoke/​lingerie shop and gets plenty of pedestrian traffic. The small strip shopping center is very busy, considering it also has a Domino’s Pizza next door and a check cashing place. Parking can be hectic and non-​existent at certain times of the day. In those instances, just park in the back in the larger Ace Hardware/​Los Tios shopping center parking lot.
For a white person, who doesn’t eat this type of food on a weekly basis, the menu was a little confusing, there are no descriptions of any of the food items. I had to ask the window attendant several questions to determine which items are popular with most of his customers. I could tell he was starting to get irritated with me, but I didn’t let it bother me. I am paying him after all. I finally settled on 3 items.
Spicy Chicken Wings — These took 15 minutes to prepare on the charcoal grill and tasted the best of the 3 items I ordered. They were very small, but packed full of flavor and were sitting on a pita bread with a squirt of what seemed like Frank’s red hot sauce at the bottom. Side dishes in my Styrofoam to-​go box included chargrilled tomatoes and chargrilled onions ($ 15)
Iraqi Koftah Sandwich — Ground lamb chargrilled and wrapped in pita bread with chargrilled onion and tomato, served with a yogurt sauce on the side ($ 4.99). This was pretty good, but a little dry.
Hoummus with meat — They spell it differently here than other places but the meat seemed to be very fatty ground beef. This was at room temperature and served with a single pita bread ($ 2.99). It was alright, but nothing to write home about. Better hummus can be found just one block away at Gessner.
I was originally charged incorrectly but mentioned it to the guy and he lowered my bill down to $ 23. Still pretty pricy for what I ordered. I would say the chicken was pretty damn tasty, but not worth nearly $ 2 per piece. Not sure if I will ever be back, but there is a pretty decent sized menu and other customers (Arabic-​speaking ones) were ordering all types of other dishes. The Shish Tawook seemed to be pretty popular as well. Keep in mind that some menu items are only available for lunch (e.g. chicken shawarma) when he is parked down at Westheimer and Hillcroft.
