Portara Fresh Mediterranean is a family-owned & operated restaurant located in Pearland, TX. After opening Taglia Fresh Italian in 2019, we embarked on a new endeavor to provide Mediterranean cuisine …
Everything was delicious! Greek Feast Platter for Two gave me dinner and lunch for tomorrow. Greek Brucshetta was very good, wish there was more topping included. Baklava cheesecake was yummy, captured the baklava flavor and the creaminess of cheesecake.
Recommend!

The best Greek Salad! Includes plenty of baby greens, thin slices of red onion and cucumbers, plus loads of cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and fresh feta. I opted for the house Greek dressing and it was delicious! The SD Pita (1) are fresh. The chipotle hummus is a must have! And the Rice Pudding was plentiful and tasty. Saving the other dips for lunch tomorrow.

Tricked again by the high reviews on Dash and Yelp. Almost everything was sub par and feels like we wasted our money, 100 dollar order. Cafe Petra is much better and still the best Greek/Mediterranean in Southern Houston.
The gyro meat was a 6/10 nothing special and much smaller than other places and it was drier chunks instead of traditional thin flavorful slices. The hummus and the baba ganoush were terrible, surprised because of the good ratings. The tzatziki is not that good at all. The moussaka croquettes were such a let down and some weird after taste or seasoning, we threw them out after just one. The fried calamari was some of the worst we have ever had. Had a very strong fishy smell and looks nothing like the picture at all with the crunchy looking batter, it was all these pathetic rings with basic batter falling off and very chewy. Hopefully we don't get sick, such a waste of money.
The ONLY good part of the whole order was the Greek salad and the grape leaves. The dressing for the salad is pretty good. The grape leaves are actually one of the better ones we have had in the Houston area. However wouldn't order from a place again just for salad and grape leaves.
We ordered extra pitas on the side and for some reason they cut them all in to tiny little triangles. They don't even give you the option to leave them whole. I guess they assume everyone is using them to dip but guys some people like to make their own little pita sandwiches too.
So overall this place is over rated or rated by a bunch of people who don't know any better because this is one of the worst Greek food spots we have ever tried. Learning more and more often that you can't trust the ratings on Dash, Uber, or Yelp with many places in Houston, it's more of a trial and error kind of city and more often than not it's error. At least we give you honest real reviews to save you money and time and only pick the best of the best.

Side Greek Salad ok. Baklava Cheese Cake has more of lemon twang than Lemon Chickin Rice Soup. Lemon Chicken Rice Soup ordered a Bowl and got a Cup. Not worth what I paid for the meal.

Not a great day for one of my fav restaurants.
Beet salad had one sliver thumb sized piece of beet, 5 segments of orange and a Bunch of arugula. Not living up to its name. I've ordered this item at least 10x, DD or in person, and not seen one like this.
Rice pudding was liquid with hard (not completely cooked) rice at bottom.
Always received pita w tzatziki; not today. On plus side whoever made the falafels: best ever!! Fluffy center, delicately browned exterior.
Tzatziki esp tangy today w lots of cucumber; delicious.
