Welcome to Kenz Cairo Restaurant, where we bring the authentic flavors of Egypt to the heart of Houston. Located near the Galleria at 5000 Westheimer Rd #602a, our restaurant is a culinary gem that offers a taste of Cairo’s rich food heritage.
Our menu features Egypt’s national dish, Koshary, a delightful mix of rice, pasta, lentils, chickpeas, and crispy fried onions, all smothered in a tangy tomato sauce.

We also serve Egyptian-style falafel, made from protein-rich fava beans, ground and seasoned to perfection, then fried to a crispy golden brown. Served in a warm pita with fresh vegetables, our falafel is a must-try.

Customer Testimonials
★★★★★
I only came to have a cup of coffee but also tried the Egyptian tea and baklava. The tea is a blend of black & mint tea with honey, absolutely delicious especially paired with the dessert. I have never been able to drink coffee black, but this coffee was so smooth that it did not need anything added. The restaurant has beautiful art and decor.

The service was excellent! The owner was very welcoming and professional. The food was also phenomenal starting with the lentil soup which had a solid punch and filled with flavor. The yellow basmati rice platter was a 10/10 because the chicken was very juicy. The specialty was definitely the Koshary which was a full flavor bomb that is definitely worth a try.

Stopped by here for dinner during a work trip- it was just a short walk across the street from the mall. The food is sooo good, the portions are incredible value for the price, and the owners were super friendly and attentive. Will definitely come back next time I visit Houston!

Kenz is a fantastic Egyptian Mediterranean place with a cozy and welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff. I ordered the yellow rice entree with gyros and it was a great choice! The rice had a lovely aromatic flavor that complemented the juicy and well-seasoned gyros perfectly. The dish was also beautifully presented. The staff were attentive and the restaurant was clean and well-maintained. Overall, I highly recommend Kenz to anyone looking for a great dining experience and would not hesitate to come back to try more of their menu offerings.
