🇱🇧 National Arab American History Month
My father Hatem Nasr moved to America during the Lebanese civil war in the 80s. He is the ideal American immigrant story. Moved to Houston, graduated from University of Houston with an engineering degree, eventually a doctorate from University of Minnesota. Worked for Honeywell, NASA, and started his own business.
Thankfully he moved to a community here in Houston that thankfully has a great and rich Arab American community.
My earliest food memories are visiting Phoenicia Deli and Droubis and while those experiences are core to my identity, for my father that food was a connection back to his homeland. We spent nearly every summer of my childhood visiting Lebanon and that formed me to be the chef I am today.

What people say
Craft Pita on Buffalo Speedway brings a fresh, flavorful take to Mediterranean dining, with standout Lebanese-inspired options that feel both comforting and exciting. The menu shines with bold, well-balanced flavors—especially in its rotisserie chicken offerings. Their rotisserie chickens are marinated in shawarma spices for over 24 hours and cooked on the rotisserie machine for 90 minutes, resulting in a golden crust and deep, savory taste. Served with fries or your choice of side, along with garlic aioli and hot sauce, it’s an easy go-to for anyone who loves craveable, properly seasoned food. Fans can also elevate the meal by adding pickles and turnips for extra crunch and tang.
For lighter bites, the Fattoush Salad is a clear highlight. It features organic greens, crisp vegetables, fresh herbs, and toasted pita chips for a bright mix of textures in every forkful. It’s simple in concept but rich in flavor—ideal when you want something refreshing without sacrificing satisfaction.
Overall, Craft Pita delivers consistently delicious Mediterranean comfort with thoughtful preparation and plenty of tasty finishing touches that make each order feel special.
