Hummus and Hookahs
Hummus and Hookahs (Robb Walsh, Houston Press)
When my daughter came home from college a while back, she took off with her friends one night. She said they had been to a cool restaurant on Richmond where everybody smokes hookahs and hangs out. After my first visit to Mary'z, I realized that this is the place she was talking about. She couldn't tell me a thing about the food, because she and her friends just drank tea and shared a hookah.
Your impression of Mary'z Lebanese Cuisine will depend on who you are. For Lebanese food lovers, it's one of the best Middle Eastern eateries in the city. For the club-hopping set, it's a cool place to hang out, smoke a hookah and check each other out. And if you happen to be a young scene-maker who smokes tobacco and is hungry for great Lebanese food, you'll have it all.
I had no idea that one of my favorite Galleria-area lunch dives becomes such a happening place in the evenings.
Anyway, if you're a Galleria-area luncher, it's hard to beat their shawarma sandwiches. For just under $5, it's a huge amount of food, and very tasty. It would be hard to get fast food (burgers and nachos, eww) for that paltry amount!

It'a a fabulous restaurant. I love Lebanese food. Nothing wrong with a little apple tobacco, either.

Throw "Hummers and Hookers" into the mix, and I'm there! :)

So maybe those things at Kaleidoscope really were "unique tobacco smoking accessories" after all? Nah...
