The food is outstanding, and the prices are reasonable. Great daily specials for variety, along with a great daily menu. The breakfast tacos and kolaches are very good, and always try one of their daily specials if you see something you like. You can check specials on their website, updated twice daily about an hour before lunch and dinner. It makes it very easy for to go orders. The owners and employees have always been very friendly to me and all the people from our office that eat here as well. We pick up food regularly, Mark and Kathryn, the owners, have always taken care of us. It says a lot about a place when the owners take a hands on interest in the daily operations. I highly recommend Kojaks. If you live in the area and have not tried it you are missing out on some great meals.

Also, they are very weird about napkins. It first started with signs asking to please limit use of "premium napkins." Then, they added another sign (they love signs) to save the trees and use less napkins. Then, yet another sign stating that this is not a barbeque restaurant so don't use so many napkins. It is ridiculous. I recommend they remove the silly signs, get some CHEAPER, RECYCLED BROWN napkins like other cafes . . . and lastly, loosen up. Your customers will be happy! Also, tell the counter lady to smile!

We ordered a variety of the breakfast tacos, one of our favorites is the greek style taco. Only 1 of the greek style tacos was in our order, supposedly there were 2 taco orders that went out that morning, we received the incorrect order. Many of the tacos were not even close to the ones we had previously ordered. We were told by Kathleen, "sorry, we made a mistake, nothing else we can do". No offer was made to us to correct the order, no discount offered, nothing. We will definitely not go back to Kojak's.

Good selection of good food and much of it healthy as well. I like the atmosphere of the inside of the restaurant. We used to go there for breakfast on the weekends too but I think they stopped serving breakfast on the weekends. That was always good too. A definite place to go in the Heights for a good, inexpensive, casual dinner. I recommend the meatball sub, best around. NAME: HeightsFood SUBMITTED: 7/6/2007   LAST VISIT WAS: 6/07 FREQUENCY: Visited 2-3 times MY REVIEW: Kojak's is the best. We use them for our company meetings, banquets and everyother chance we get. My favorite dish there is the Trio Salad, but E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G IS AWESOME. NAME: TM SUBMITTED: 3/22/2007   LAST VISIT WAS: 03/07 FREQUENCY: Visited 4-6 times MY REVIEW: They have awesome pesto pasta! I also really like their chicken salad subs. They're already made fresh and kept in the fridge so when i'm on my lunch break and in a hurry I just run in and grab one and go. I work right down the street so I visit frequently during lunch hour and there is never a wait of any kind! NAME: dana SUBMITTED: 10/27/2006   LAST VISIT WAS: OCT/2006 FREQUENCY: Everybody here knows my name... MY REVIEW: Simply put, Kojak's is one of the best restaraunts in Houston. I have been here over 15 times, and never had a bad meal. Everything is really good from the Avocado BLT sandwich to the Gyro to the fish picatta. On mondays they have a meatloaf dish which is very popular amongst my co-workers. The only downside is that are only open at night from tues-thurs until 8pm. Also, they don't have brunch anymore on the weekends. Honestly I can't rave enough about this place... me and my wife go here at least twice a week it is that good. Fresh ingredients and delicious recipies. The place is always packed during lunch so expect a line when you get there. NAME: Andy SUBMITTED: 4/19/2006   LAST VISIT WAS: 4/2006 FREQUENCY: Everybody here knows my name... MY REVIEW: Kojak's is just down the street from my beautiful apartment complex, The Grove at White Oak, and its a short walk there and back! This place has amazing hot sandwiches and pasta plates. My favorite is the Club sandwich. Each item on the menu is slightly different from similar plates you might have elsewhere, but cheaper and more filling!! They have a HUGE self serve cooler with a wide variety of beers, sodas, fruit juice and waters. I really like the atmosphere. The friendly faces and cozy cafe appeal really makes for a terrific lunch or dinner! NAME: Justin Lam SUBMITTED: 12/20/2005   LAST VISIT WAS: 12.15.2005 FREQUENCY: Everybody here knows my name... MY REVIEW: Kojak's is some of the most amazing food I have ever had the pleasure to eat!! Everything that Cheif Mark creates is a glorious experience for my taste buds. I go there at least twice a week and I am never never disappointed. They have the best fish special on Tuesdays for lunch!! The single most under rated restaurant in the Houston area. Everyone should make the trip you will not be disappointed!! I am just so lucky it is right around the corner from my work! NAME: Lindsey K. SUBMITTED: 7/26/2005   LAST VISIT WAS: Today FREQUENCY: Everybody here knows my name... MY REVIEW: My wife, two daughters, mother-in-law and I had dinner there for the first time. Have been there for lunch, but the first time for dinner. We all ordered something different and each and every meal was fantastic. Kojak's is apparently a well kept secret for dinner, only two to three other groups dining at 7:00pm ? Total cost for all five meals, plus drinks and some stuffed grape leaves - ONLY $50.81 including tax. Did not have dessert (we usually do at lunch), too full! Keep it up Kojak's, we will be back over and over again. NAME: David & Kathleen SUBMITTED: 7/21/2005   LAST VISIT WAS: 072105 FREQUENCY: Visited 2-3 times MY REVIEW: Kojak's is now open Tues.-Thursday evenings. The meals are tastey and very filling. My husband loves the spaghetti and meatballs. They have a small selection of wines by the bottle or glass. We can't wait to try their new Sunday Brunch.

I am going to go there right now! :-D NAME: Summer SUBMITTED: 5/15/2004   LAST VISIT WAS: 5/04 FREQUENCY: Visited 4-6 times MY REVIEW: We use Kojak's to cater our company lunches. The prices are great, food is fresh and delish, and without fail, people always compliment the meal and ask if we can use them again for the next meeting. We love the salads! NAME: Gabi Klaf SUBMITTED: 11/12/2003   LAST VISIT WAS: 9/03 FREQUENCY: Visited 4-6 times MY REVIEW: I love this place. Their hummus and baba ghanouj is good, and their baklava is great. Plus, it is the most reasonably-priced place to buy olive oil that I've found (the importer isn't a quarter mile away!)
