About this restaurant

Good for special occasions

Neighborhood gem

Crafted by the visionary minds who brought you Doris Metropolitan and Badolina Bakery & Café, Hamsa emerges as a radiant gem in the culinary landscape, celebrating the vibrant flavors of Israel.

Indulge in the symphony of flavors with our salatim, a delightful array of vegetable-based delights that promise to tantalize your taste buds.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Yotam

From the OpenTable editors: With a Moorish arch-framed bar, clusters of olive trees, and colorful Turkish rugs, a meal at this buzzy Israeli spot is a fully immersive experience. Grab a seat in the energetic dining room or on the charming patio for shareable Middle Eastern-inspired small plates, grilled meat skewers, and arak flights. Come on Thursday evenings to be dazzled by belly dancers in traditional garb and beats from local DJs.

We had the Yalla Yalla Experience. Wow! Everything was sensational. Service was superb. The wine, Red Blend, Bekka Valley, was smooth and delicious. All 4 of us had an exceptional experience!

We chose to sit at the bar. The service and drinks were great. Everything we ordered was prepared perfectly. I go for lunch and the occasional dinner and there is no difference in execution.

So much potential but the hummus was gross. Maybe it was a bad or old batch? It had the texture of glue, nice and smooth but not creamy or airy and tasted like old peanut butter. Not bright and tangy and tasted like there was zero salt in it ( way too much tahini made or with burned seasame seeds or old tahini ?) I hope it was an off batch or, perhaps, that's just the way they make hummus because there is no way that it should have been let out of the kitchen unless that is what the chef wanted or the chef was absent. Starting off with that set a bad tone for the rest of the meal. It's hard to recover from a start like that. When you go perhaps stay away from the hummus or maybe get a taste first - I'm not an hummus expert, maybe you'll like it. The rice tasted like it had a supermarket seasoning packet added to it-if you have ever had rice-a-roni from the 80s that is what it tastes like, again maybe you'll like that. The baba ganoush was great but that is harder to screw up.

The whole meal was delicious! Highly recommend ordering the whole Shebang - it's all the dips and you can try them to see what you want more of! Octopus was spectacular, chicken skewer was great. There is also an eggplant dish under mains that was the best eggplant I've ever had. Everything was exceptional and the service is A+++! One of the best meals in Houston!
