The Best Halal Restaurants in Houston
"At this Mediterranean-style barbecue joint, “no pork on the fork” is its unofficial slogan. Levant prides itself on being fully halal, offering slow-smoked meats, including brisket, lamb, beef ribs, and homemade sausage, with a Mediterranean flair. Sides here include more traditional barbecue options like cole slaw, macaroni and cheese, creamed corn, potato salad, and Cowboy Caviar, but diners can also indulge in Levant-style versions like cucumber with dill, saffron rice, and quinoa. If riding solo, try your barbecue in platter form or in a sandwich. The brisket shawarma is a must. For a meal that can feed the family (four to six people), consider one of its sharable feasts. Get your lamb fix with its Lamb Feast ($199), which includes one leg of lamb and one lamb neck, plus six sides and accompaniments, including bread, pickles, onion, and barbecue sauce. Or, go for the Levant Feast ($149), which offers a well-rounded sample of Levant’s barbecue with a pound of brisket, a massive beef rib, half a chicken, half a turkey, and two sausage links plus sides." - Brianna Griff, Brittany Britto Garley
