    Went to Fadi's on Westheimer / Dunvale a few months ago.

    Would say it was much better than Dimassi's.

    I've been to Big Marina's and it is pretty good. It's definitely better than Dimassis (which sucks). Fadi's and Cafe Layal aren't really expensive (I guess it depends on what your definition of expensive is)

    Agreed.. Next time you go you should check out the interesting way they spell "Mediterranean" on their sign

    Kasra is way overpriced. Also for the price Phoenecia's hummus is the best, plus you can buy fresh bread.

    How so? Kubideh goes for like $7.99 at lunch. $1 more at dinner. Barg (filet mignon) is reasonably priced.

    Maybe their appetizers are a bit pricier than others but not by much. Their hummus is the best in Houston or anywhere for that matter.

    ^They changed their bread recently. Not cool.

    An Irani guy I know swears by their lamb shank but I've never tried it. Something a bit different that I like is their jujeh kabob (cornished hen).

    Niko Niko's is bland.

    Falafel Factory on Prairie has very good gyros.

    That sucks, I loved their bread. Haven't been there in a few years because my wife doesn't like Mediterranean food, but I've destroyed many plates of beef kubideh there. They also had a rice I would get that has pistachios and dried cherries. That's it, I'm going next time I'm in Houston :)

    really?

    Went there with six people for lunch and ordered their family grill platter or something. $69. plenty of meet, veggies, and rice.

    I normally have one of their meat platters for lunch and its about $10-12.
