Noon Mediterranean Houston, Houston

The concept behind Noon Mediterranean is simple: as a fast-casual Mediterranean restaurant, it aims to make healthy eating both enjoyable and easy. Yet its bowls, salads, and pitas can be infinitely complex, because customers get to choose every ingredient that goes into their meal, with different elements including:

• A base, such as a seasonal salad, quinoa bowl, or pita
• A lean protein like falafel or turkey-and-mushroom meatballs
• Fresh veggies, such as red cabbage slaw and house-pickled jalapeños
• Flavorful sauces including spicy cilantro and hot harissa
