Albashas.

I do enjoy the Serops express for what it is.

I find Serops Express to have subpar chicken, gyros and pita to the others but I guess it's intended to be more of a fast food version. The full service restaurant on Corporate is good.

If I’m in the mood to have my credit card info stolen, Roman’s is the spot.

I like Albasha better than Serop’s, but the Express part of Serop’s is really well done. Easy to get a quick bite.

Albasha is overall the best, the lamb at Cafe Petra is amazing. I do hit Serops Express for a combo salad that feeds 2.

Rende's is the best
He operated it out of a gas station but now has his own stand alone store on Burnside in Gonzales

Same here for the same reasons. But if I want to sit and enjoy a meal I'm going to Albasha and getting lamb shank or something other than gyro/shawarma. And you are right about almost all of them having different owners.

I like everything they serve. Burgers and poboys included.

About 20 years ago didn’t Roman’s commit tax fraud and fund terrorists? Or am I misremembering? I think that is why I stopped going there.

I prefer Albasha, although the gyro sandwiches have gotten unacceptably light in the meat department the last time or two I went.

I think they stole credit card info, from what I remember.

I thought it was a rogue employee, but I could be wrong.

Of these Lebanese restaurants I prefer Albasha.

Greek food; I think Zorba is the only real Greek restaurant in BR.

I prefer Greek over Lebanese food.

Romans in Hammond Aire is the best i've had a in a while. My previous favorite was serops on corporate.

Romans is just done better. Not the Romans on Govt, its not nearly as good as hammond aire.
