Basil Mediterranean Kitchen

A great Mediterranean cafe with great prices for the quality of food! It seems they could benefit from a second server as the 1 person waiting on 7 tables was not able to bring refills as often and all that. The NAAN bread is to die for! Other than needing more staffing, a wonderful lunch spot with fresh selections to choose from!

So let's start with the bread that c9mes out first. Wow . Perfect bake and huge had to get it to go. The Tzatziki was delicious and of course had to get it to go as well. The blend of cucumber, garlic, and Dill was refreshing and plentiful. The salad can only be described as fresh, crisp, not over dressed, and great combination of bell pepper, cucumber, onion, Roman, and Seasoning. By the way I did not even think about salt or pepper the entire meal. Now on to the main course. At first I thought we'll done no meat is good well done. I was wrong. The lamb was seasoned well, cut with a fork, and just the right amount. I did have a tough time deciding between the Bread with the lamb and the original bread but ultimately the bake on that large pieces was perfect for me. The sauce with the lamb was a simple Greek Yogart lebni it was delicious. Two types of rice and did not notice much difference there but still tasty. I will be back tomorrow for lunch and a different meal. The price is great for the amount of food you get. Definitely a must do when in the area.

We really enjoyed talking to shawn. The food excellent good placeto go for lunch or dinner! They really go above and beyond on there presentation, might be a great place to take a date because of it. The cook makes everything good. The hostes can be a hit or miss. She is nice over all but comes off like she wants you to hurry its the thing i was not a fan of.

This was my first time trying basil. And I will tell you this much it will definitely not be my last as long as the food is as wonderful as it was. The restaurant is very clean a very relaxed setting. The service is really good too. The naan bread I went with two other friends so three guys and one naan bread was enough. The feta cheese and oil-based dip for the naan bread was absolutely out of this world. My dish was the chicken kabob I didn't know it came with the salad and the rice which to me was a nice surprise I thought everything was all a cart which I was going to be a little upset with that but it wasn't. The two different kinds of rice mixed together was absolutely wonderful my salad was fresh the dressing was just perfect my chicken was baked and juicy. I'm getting up there in age and with having trying everything so many times this was a very nice meal that I thoroughly enjoyed every bite. If you've driven by here and have wondered about this place. I highly recommend you stop by and give them a chance. My friends and I have decided this will now be our regular Mediterranean place. Keep up the great work guys we really appreciate the food and service.

We were looking for a good restaurant in the area and stopped in here. It was a good choice. The naan is enormous and also served hot and fresh. We were excited to see all the interesting "Twisted" hummus options on the menu, but they were out of all but the original while we were there. The original was still great, though. Since there was so much we wanted to try, we got the Mixed Grill for 2, which had a bit of everything. In addition to all the meat (my wife loved the chicken; the lamb chops were my fave), it came with two side Mediterranean salads and two different bowls of rice. It could have served four people. The meat comes in one pile, served on top of another piece of naan, but this was too greasy for us to enjoy. We tried a couple of different sauces to accompany our meat. I liked the garlic yogurt, while my wife preferred the Kashk Badenjan (which was surprisingly spicy). We are rarely in this area of town, but we would absolutely visit again.

I highly recommend this restaurant for cleanliness as well as timeliness of food delivery. It is a very quiet spot where you are encouraged to sit, chat, look at the beautiful rotating images of the world on the screens, and just enjoy slowing down. The food is delicious, decadent, and very well-priced for what they offer. Don’t hesitate to give a small wave to let them know you’re ready to order or request something.

Nice little place with homey decor. The kabobs, rice, naan and humus were great! The babah ganoush was good. It tasted a little bitter to me at first, but it was definitely fresh and grew on me. We all loved the Persian tea, but it might be too hot for the summer months in Texas. It was a busy night (two big dining parties) and so the misses in service might be due to that. We weren’t served our salads and service was slow. Still, I’d recommend it if you are looking for a nice Mediterranean meal.

Oh the Na’an! Let’s just start there. Warm, soft, seasoned with oil, garlic, basil and other seasonings. That amazing Gyro with huge chunks of tomato, cucumber, green peppers and romaine. Wonderful traditional gyro meat and the Tzatziki was rich, creamy, full of dill & cucumber. The rice was flavorful too, and was served yin/yang style nestled sided by side. Just a wonderful visit with great service. Wish I could have relaxed and enjoyed more, but I was in a time crunch.

Dad had an afternoon appointment in the Medical Center so we decided to stay in the area for dinner. I had been to @basil.texas before with a friend and so it's first time for Dad and my husband. We were given the complimentary naan and dipping sauce which was feta, oil and seasonings. It was so hot and fresh and huge! Dad and I shared the Lamb Shank and my husband had the Lamb Osso Bucco. Both were tender and came with a side salad and rice. There was enough lamb shank to take home with the naan. We didn't have room for the Baklava but it was good the last time. Ashley took good care of us throughout the meal. Next time might try the whole Branzino. The outdoor seating is pretty sunny for dinner. We were at the only table that was in the shade. Come and check it out!

The food here was very good. The meat was tender and flavorful. The chicken was perfectly cooked and juicy. My wife enjoyed the falafel but says she has had better. Everything else was great. I read a few reviews stating that the portion sizes were small personally I thought they were spot on. Just the right amount of food I was full but not overly full. I would like to say that the to-go containers were great and kept the food hot. I will be trying this place again for sure.
