Where to Find Exceptional Halal Eats in Houston

"Most are used to the halal food truck model that’s become so recognizable in many cities around the country. Abu Za’ir stands out in an impressive group of peers with pressed pita wraps, blistered charred vegetables, and notably, waffles, adopted from the South’s love of the bready breakfast dish that’s a brunch and breakfast staple in the region. The chicken mutabbaq — a paratha stuffed with minced and spiced grilled meat — is especially popular here, as are the falafel wraps, which are packed to the brim with the spherical chickpea fritters." - Sean Hekmat, Kayla Stewart
