The Best Barbecue Restaurants in Houston Right Now | Eater Houston

"Levantine-style barbecue infused with Mediterranean flavors is having a moment in Texas. Here’s where to try it in Houston. Levant BBQ offers halal-smoked meats, including ribs, chicken, and brisket, available on plates, in sandwiches, or as a shawarma. It’s also one of the few barbecue joints in the city where diners can regularly try smoked lamb leg, lamb neck, and lamb chops, which are menu staples offered at $36 per pound. The sides are where Mediterranean flavors truly shine, featuring hummus, a refreshing cucumber-dill salad, saffron rice, Fasolia, creamed corn, and more." - Brittany Britto Garley
