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.

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 My experience at Hamsa was incredible! The food is visually stunning, but the medley of spices is what really moved me. Do NOT sleep on the flavorful smoked baba ganoush! Pro tip- ask for some zhug with your meal. Thank me later. But truly the best part of my dining experience at Hamsa was the quality of our service. Our server, Alexander, made us feel completely comfortable. He answered all questions I had about the menu and what flavors pair well together. He made additional recommendations that really showcased how expansive their vegetarian options are. Jordan Hooks, the manager, was awesome. He made sure our experience was unforgettable. He gave us a walk through of the desserts and we talked about the depth of chocolate flavor in the Chocolate Nemesis… which we ordered two of… and it was the best choice. 🤌🏽🤌🏽 10 out of 10. Let Jordan and Alex upgrade your next special event!

I've been to Hamsa three times and every time the food always hits. This time I finally took photos of the food we ordered. I realized that they change out a few menu items every year, but the quality of the items staying still remain delicious. The lamb hummus is so rich and pairs so well with pita bread, and the octopus is the most tender bite I've had at a restaurant. Ribeye skewers and chicken thigh skewers are equally as tender and flavorful. The cauliflower couscous was such a pleasant/refreshing surprise. Everything was so amazing and the amount we ordered was perfect for 4 people!
