Abdallah's is one of those authentic hole-in-the-walls that makes the Houston restaurant scene so varied and unique. You probably wouldn't think about stopping in when seeing the exterior of the building for the first time; it is rather weather-worn. However, while you won't find an elegant atmosphere inside, you will find a comfortable, relaxed, quaint sit-down deli environment in which to enjoy the authentic Lebanese-style cuisine. Over the past three years I have been greeted and served by the same group of staff whether for lunch, dinner, weekday, or weekend. \r

Prices currently range from $6 for a schawerma sandwich or 4-side vegetarian plate to $10 for a daily special plate. With numerous tastey side dishes and pastries to choose from, this regular customer always finds just the right combination to leave content and happy. Tabouli, kafta, hummus, lentils, lamb, kibii, etc., etc., etc. \r
