Hamsa

Stunning new restaurant tucked away in Rice Village! It's a very inviting atmosphere with an approachable menu. The staff is very helpful, too. I love how they have complimentary valet parking so you don't have to worry about finding a spot. The delicious pita is cooked fresh in this oven. My favorite dish was the lamb ribs, but I also liked how they had a wide variety of vegetable dishes. The fennel was very delicious. This is definitely a true dining experience and will make for a really great spot to hang out with friends. I already can't wait to go back!

New favorite spot in Houston! The restaurant doesn’t feel like yet another eatery, it’s so inviting and homely, yet with an upscale twist. The food is absolutely amazing (no pictures because we just couldn’t wait long enough to take them before digging in). The cocktails are delicious and the bartenders definitely know what they’re doing! Go check this place out if you love great food, beautiful decor, and tasty cocktails!! ❤️?

A one of a kind top tier restaurant. Seriously, no other restaurant in Houston does it like Hamsa. Great ambiance, delicious food, friendly staff, and perfect for date night. Order everything on the dessert menu and pair it with a delicious cocktail. All around great experience and cannot wait to eat here regularly- 11/10 recommend. Also, the interior is gorgeous!!!

Went to preview of Hamsa in Rice Village (Houston). Modern Israeli food from the owners of Doris Metropolitan. Fresh hummus, sauces, pita, seafood, and veggies. A beautiful space with a lavish bar, wine room, and open kitchen. Standouts include the crispy potatoes, deconstructed chicken schwarma, branzino, and the dark chocolate halva for dessert (must have!). Crowds should swarm here when it opens to the public on May 11.

Walking into Hamsa you get into the atmosphere of a sophisticated middle eastern restaurant. The food is absolutely incredible and atmosphere is spot on. The service was great and I really loved the lamb humus. The city of Houston gained an amazing new restaurant.

After a long wait of excitement… We were looking forward for this lovely evening. I come from a Mediterranean background and was looking forward for the opening of this new spot. The ambiance is extremely well designed. I loved the outdoor decor, inside decor the bar the oven the dishes omg the dishes are so cute. But with all fairness the food was not as much as we expected. We could not even eat some of the dishes a they were not up to taste. The appetizers are extremely small. The main courses especially the eggplant was not cooked correctly. I would say the best one that caught our attention was the chicken shish kebab and that also the portion was so little but it is worth the taste. It could be because it was the opening, they even had a shortage on the to go boxes and had to wrap our food in aluminum foil. Service was good, front desk hostess was extremely pleasant and very passionate about her job. Cannot say that with our waiter. My cocktail was extremely cute and delicious. Parking was weird we could not find the valet but when leaving we saw it. Big tables good for large groups. Would I go back? Only for the shish kebab. :)

A wonderful place, ambiance is fun and sexy. The staff makes you feel welcomed and the food is absolutely outstanding. The lamb humus its incredible and their cocktails are super pretty.

I went here today for lunch. Hamsa has the best hummus I think I have ever had. The traditional hummus, if you can call it that, is served with a pickled egg, chickpeas, and diced peppers. I think the olive oil served with the hummus is some of the best and most flavorful I’ve had. I had, for my entrée, what is basically a lamb pizza with a dollop of hummus on the side. It was exceptional. My friend had the meat kebab which was also amazing. I can’t wait to go back for dinner and to try some of the other items on the menu.
