Best Halal Restaurants in Houston | Eater Houston

"In Houston, it can be challenging to find koshary, Egypt’s incessantly popular street food that combines yellow rice, lentils, and noodles topped with chickpeas, crispy fried onions, and a piquant tomato sauce. Kenz Mediterranean Cuisine, however, offers a stellar interpretation that layers all those ingredients with tangy garlic vinegar, and the Mediterranean-Egyptian restaurant’s menu doesn’t stop there. Savor a lamb shank rubbed with aromatic spices, slow-cooked for 12 hours, and served with flavorful yellow rice, or try the Kenz quesadillas and meaty pita sandwiches. Finish any meal with baklava and vanilla ice cream — a finale as grand as the space itself." - Brianna Griff
