Underrated Middle Eastern Restaurant Near the Galleria Area: Angham Resto Cafe

If you’re craving real-deal Middle Eastern food, Angham Resto Cafe is one of Houston’s most underrated gems. This spot serves up authentic Arab comfort dishes and everything is 100% halal. From the moment the house-baked pita hits the table, it’s clear you're in for something special.

The menu covers all the essentials—made-from-scratch dips, juicy grilled meats, and manakish hot from the oven. One of our favorite ways to start the meal is with the pita and hummus. The bread comes out warm and pillowy, and the hummus is so addicting. It’s a simple combo done really, really well.

Two dishes that absolutely deserve a spotlight: the Fried Kibbeh and the Falafel. Crisp on the outside and perfectly moist inside, both are must-orders. For dessert, you’re going to want the Kunafa. The cheese pull is unreal, and it tastes just as good as it looks—sweet, crispy, melty, and totally worth the photo. They also serve the viral Dubai Chocolate!

Angham is a great spot for everything from low-key dinners to big family gatherings. The space is filled with traditional Arab decor, plenty of room indoors, and a covered patio that’s perfect on a nice day. If you’re looking to unwind, they also offer hookah.

They also have a solid drink lineup, with fresh juices, smoothies, and hot teas that pair well with the food or stand alone for a slower, more social visit. Add them to your “Hidden Gems” folder!
