We recommend getting the Zully's sampler plate on your first visit to try out some of their more popular items, such as pupusas, pastelitos, yucca con chicharron and plantains.

Samosas, seekh kebabs, naan, chicken tikka, biryani, gyros and chickpea curry are some of the things you'll find on the menu at Aladdin. I loved their "strawberry soberita." It was all just incredible. Aladdin is in Willis, but no matter where you live, it's worth the drive!

Local Tip
202 Main
"We love 202 Main in Downtown Conroe. It has a huge outdoor patio with yard games and a full chef-inspired menu that includes yummy kids' meals. The chicken bacon ranch fries are a crowd favorite! They frequently have live music and other events for those that eat late or just want to enjoy a night out."
