Hamsa

The mushroom skewers were phenomenal! So delicious. It is kind of pricey considering the quantities, but the flavor of each dish was very nice. However, there were not many vegan options, many were veganizable at least. But the non-vegan dishes almost they do not have veggies at all! Very unhealthy some of them. They need to have a more plant-based focused, considering they called themselves “modern” cuisine. The future is eating plants, for healthy, climate, and ethical reasons, and leaving animals out of our plates. Also, it would bring more people since it would be way more inclusive!

How is the place only a 4?! It was recommended to us by two friends. we came for the first time and so glad we did! It was so delicious. Rachel was our server and she was so nice and professional, and made our evening wonderful!. She explained some of the highlights of the menu, told us about the non-alcoholic drinks (they were awesome-perfect for non drinkers and our teen) . We had the branzino with the perfectly crisp skin and moist flesh over a bed of fennel and it was so good. I usually don't like fennel but this compliment was lovely. My daughter and I love octopus and got it, and it was so well cooked. My wife doesn't usually like octopus but said this was the first time she'd really enjoyed it. And the lamb kebabs ( kibeh?) were grilled just right. The Israeli salad hummus and falafel appetizers were so good! And the desserts were a perfect ending. The petite beurre was DIVINE! Shout out to even the servers who were so professional and kind. We sat outside and it was so lovely, a little cool, windy and the environment was great. Even our hard to please teen couldn't stop taking about it. It was an absolutely lovely evening for a birthday celebration! Thanks y'all

We went to Hamsa to celebrate my husband’s birthday which also happened to be Valentine’s weekend. The food was excellent but the real gem was our server, Brian J. He was patient with us, provided detailed explanations to our questions, options on how to enjoy all Hamsa has to offer and introduced us to an Arak mixed drink- which was unique and incredibly delicious. We will be back!

Absolutely phenomenal experience at Hamsa! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and inviting. Our server Michelle was fantastic — friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the evening. The floor manager Jordan Hooks was also incredibly accommodating and made us feel truly welcome. We started with the lamb hummus, amba pickled vegetables, and harissa carrots — all bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The pita bread, fresh and warm right out of the oven, was some of the best I’ve had anywhere. For mains, the chicken thigh skewer was juicy, tender, and perfectly seasoned, while the lamb Lachmagun was absolutely excellent — rich, savory, and full of depth. And then… dessert! The Malabi was outstanding, the Petiber tiramisu was delightful, but the chocolate halva completely stole the show — especially paired with a cup of hot Turkish coffee. Every dish was a hit, the service was top-notch, and the entire experience was exceptional from start to finish. Can’t wait to come back!

Hamsa (Houston) delivered. The sampler with 5 dishes is the move—each one tasted distinct and packed with flavor. We followed that with the spicy experience (highly recommend if you like heat), then chicken skewers and beef + shrimp. Every dish felt intentional, not just “good,” but memorable. The grilled pear dessert was a surprisingly perfect, not-too-sweet ending. Can’t wait to come back.
