Once was enough for me, this place was recommended by a vegetarian friend of mine, I really try to be opened minded, but this place is average at best and very overpriced. They charge $1.69 for Tzatziki Sauce. The staff is not very friendly; I suspected they are not treated very well by the management, because no one smiles. Pita... More

I ate here a couple of times during my stay in houston. Got a flatbread, which was good. Also got salad bar food. Very fresh. Nice selection of items not found in my local grocery store at home. But best of all were the bakery items. Wonderful triple chocolate cake and baklava. Definitely worth a try!

This place has a wonderful selection of foods. My husband and I stopped in one night after dinner out while visiting Houston for a convention and got dessert to take back to our hotel. I also went back a few nights later when my husband was attending a convention dinner that I had begged out on, and got myself a... More

We stumbled in here by accident; it was close and convenient to our downtown hotel. Phoenicia has a wide selection of gourmet foods that will delight most "foodies." We did a little unplanned shopping and brought home lots of souvenirs since we were driving and not flying. We also purchased a few bakery snacks (try the baklava!) to get us... More

I have been going to Phoenicia's for years. I prefer their old location-across the street but it is nice to know there are always tables available both inside and out at the current location.

Baklava was fresh. Great salad assortment and fresh take-home items. Many organic items. Decent wine and cheese selection.

great selection of foods from across the world, expect to pay for them. Couldn't really try most of the food since I didn't have a way to heat it up. Stop at the bakery, great choices

Phoenicia Speciality Foods Downtown is one of the best delis I've visited in a long time. There's an excellent selection of food available with a definite Mediterranean influence. Many of the items are difficult to find elsewhere and the choice available in some sections is unbelievable. The salad bar and the olive bar are outstanding and there is usually a... More

Boring atmosphere in a strip mall and the food is nothing special. Buffet style food served. Can't believe they are rated so high.
