Lama Mediterranian Cafe

It's always a pleasure to read about a restaurant you haven't tried, go and visit it and discover a new favorite for future dining excursions. This is the case with Lama Mediterranean Cuisine in The Woodlands. My wife had a doctor's appointment at 2 pm and we live about 35 miles away, I figured go early and get some lunch and then get to the doctor with a full stomach. We put the address into the GPS and pulled right up in front of the restaurant. While it was nice weather outside, we decided to sit indoors and I am glad we did because I noticed some diners outdoors were batting away insects. Our server, Abraham came quickly and took our drink orders while we studied the menu and admired the beautifully decorated interior of the restaurant. Blue is a strong color they have used effectively, there is a large dinging room for a big group just off the main dining room and a bar at the far west end. We ordered some appetizers and they came out quickly, We had a small order (4 pieces) of the Fried Hallumi Cheese and also Kebbeh. Both came with a small sampling of cucumber, tomato and red onion which paired well. The Kebbeh had the most fragrant seasoning, I believe a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and clove. The serving sizes were ample and after trying some we both agreed to save room for the entrees we ordered, my wife had the Gyro Sandwich and I had the Chicken Shawerma, both were wrapped in a super fresh pita that had to be house made. My wife had the regular fries and I had sweet potato which were cooked perfectly, so light and crisp. We couldn't resist ordering some baklava to go, my wife thought walnut sounded good but our server said he felt the cashew was the best so we ordered that. When he brought it out, he said that there were 2 pieces of the cashew but he also added one of walnut at no charge, what a treat. We will be coming back here, the restaurant overall was super fresh and clean, service was great and the food was fantastic.

We had our team dinner at Lama and really enjoyed the experience. The ambiance was warm and welcoming, making it a great place to relax and spend time together. Good variety of food options, and everything we tried was fresh and flavorful. The service was also friendly and attentive. Overall, it was a nice spot for a team outing, and we had a great time.

What a great find in the Woodlands! Loved the vegetarian sampler. It's a lot of food for 2 or 3 people to share. The hummus is outstanding, it practically melts in your mouth! Loved the grape leaves and the pita bread. The salad is super delicious.

Great tasting vegetarian dishes. Chicken kabobs were too dry this time. Excellent atmosphere to enjoy a meal or be entertained in the evening on Fridays.
