Kabsah is a hidden gem which definitely needs to be checked out. Very courteous staff offering free soup, tea and coffee. Beef Mokalkal with freshly baked nans was fabulous. Chicken Biryani and Lamb Mandi were nice as well. I'll be going there again soon More

I can’t believe what I just experienced. The food and service were absolutely amazing, and “wow” is the only word that comes to mind. I highly recommend the chicken mandi and the grilled fish. The portions were huge, the food was delicious, and the prices were very reasonable. They also serve complimentary soup and tea, and they don’t even add a tip to the bill.

I’ve been in Houston for 4 days and tried many Mediterranean and Arab restaurants, and honestly, Kabsah Restaurant is the best one for me. It’s definitely worth the 45 minutes driving.
I’m Iraqi, and I’m very picky when it comes to food. I know the real taste, and I pay close attention to how food is cooked and prepared. Everything here was cooked perfectly, fresh, and full of authentic flavor. For me, this place truly stands out from the rest.
The food alone deserves 5 stars, but what really touched me was the amazing customer service. The two girls who served us were incredibly kind, respectful, and welcoming.
Today we went back again, but unfortunately my brother wasn’t feeling well and couldn’t eat. One of the staff members became concerned because she thought something might be wrong with the food. I explained to her that the food was amazing, but my brother was just sick. Even then, she insisted on packing the food in a to-go box and didn’t want to take money for it, simply because we didn’t eat it.
That moment showed me how much they truly care about their customers. Their goal isn’t just to sell food, but to make sure everyone leaves happy, satisfied, and thankful.
Amazing food, amazing service, and genuine care for customers.
I highly recommend Kabsah Restaurant — I will definitely be coming back again and again every time coming to Houston.

Wow! Amazing. The people who worked there were so welcoming. Everything we ordered was delicious! They were even so kind to help us pack up our leftovers since we ordered too much. And give us tips on how to reheat it for maximum tastyness. Even gave us extra of the sauces. Can't wait to take back people to share the yummy food and great people who work there. Thank you for an enjoyable dinner.

Kabsah Restaurant is truly a hidden gem. There are some restaurants you go to just for food, and then there are places like this that genuinely make you feel at home. You can really feel that family owned touch here. The hospitality felt sincere, warm, and welcoming from the moment we walked in, and that honestly meant a lot.
The food was incredible. We ordered the lamb haneeth and the fish, and both dishes were absolutely amazing. The lamb was unbelievably tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly, while the fish tasted fresh, well seasoned, and full of flavor. Even the rice stood out on its own. You can tell the food is made with care and tradition, not rushed or commercialized. The complimentary soup and tea were also such a thoughtful touch.
What honestly surprised me most is that this place is not constantly packed. Gems like this are hard to find nowadays. Restaurants serving food this authentic, flavorful, and heartfelt deserve so much more recognition and support.
If you are looking for authentic Yemeni food, Middle Eastern cuisine, halal food, and a place that feels genuine, Kabsah Restaurant is absolutely worth visiting. We will definitely be coming back.
