Taza Food Style

For a better choice than fast food, this is a good healthy opposition. Cooked to order, hot and fresh. Service is average nothing special but these days average is great.

In many languages such as Arabic, Persian and Urdu, the word "taza" means "fresh." Finding "taza" food in Cypress can be hard, especially when it comes to halal food. Thankfully, Taza is truly a breath of fresh air. Located on Cypress Rosehill and Huffmeister, Taza is a small grocery store that also houses a tiny restaurant inside. The restaurant might be small but the flavor is big. After ordering the food from Taza from Uber the first time last week, I was on a search to figure out where this place was and I am so glad I found it because I kept going back for more. Initially I had ordered the Taza Mixed Grill, tawook with rice, hummus, tabbouleh, an extra garlic sauce, and a pita bread. This was my first time where I have ever liked yellow rice that comes with Mediterranean food. I was instantly hooked. The second time I went back I got the baba ganoush, the platter again, hummus, and grape leaves. When I say I ate almost all the baba ganoush myself, I am not kidding. It is probably one of the best baba ganoush I have ever had in my life. Normally people don't know the nuanced flavor and can get carried away making this dip which can result in a goopy substance but this one had a perfect viscosity coupled with a smoky flavor and textural superiority. I also really liked their stuffed grape leaves and hummus.I can't wait to go back when I am in the Cypress area again. Pro tip: Get your food to go.

The kabab plate with beef and two types of chicken are delicious. The chicken is my favorite. Start taking bites with the grilled onion, spicy pepper, and chicken. Yum! The small grocery store they have is also handy to pick-up supplies for cooking and to also buy Pakola cream soda. Definitely recommend trying a can of that when you can.

SO MUCH GOODNESS. One of our favorite spots for classic Mediterranean food. This place is technically a very well-stocked speciality grocery store with a little restaurant on the side . The grocery has a ton of specialty items- a giant selection of tahinis, olives, meats, cheeses, spices- you name it. Definitely worth a look around. But the real star is their food! It's primarily carry-out but there's a few little tables tucked off to the side to dine in. The prices are very cheap for the portions and quality of food you get. My date had the mixed grill - high quality beef and chicken, perfectly seasoned and chargrilled with some chargrilled veggies- tomatoes, onions, and a fat jalapeño all served over that outstanding lavash bread to soak up all that goodness. I had the gyros and fries. The warm lavash bread was especially outstanding, the lamb meat was very good quality and delicious. The gyro was wrapped with their amazing garlic sauce, julienned cukes, tomatoes, and onion. Fries were nicely seasoned and tasted great with that garlic sauce- thin cut. We also tried the spicy hummus that was unlike any other hummus I've ever had- extremely creamy- delicious, almost tasted whipped. The spice level was very mild but we just swirled some of their house hot sauce into it and it was perfect! Service is helpful, warm, humble, and kind. This place is a gem.

Very clean ,good food ,Like the chicken kabab , I recommend every one to try it I ordered the mix grill With rice ,hummus, baba ganoch too

Great local Arab spot! It's really like a half market half restaurant kind of shop, but the food is great! I tried the mixed grill plate, and everything inside of it was delicious. Also tried the falafel and hummus, which were also pretty good. The prices for the food are great, and there are plenty of arab essentials in the market if you need something quick in Cypress. Owners are also great and friendly, great local spot! If you want some good Iraqi kebab, tikka, stews, or grilled chicken, this is definitely the spot around Cypress.Note: if you want grilled chicken, call ahead because it takes 45 mins

Let's start with the good:- the hummus was out of this world - fantastic vegetables, grilled and slawed - fair prices Now for the not so good:- pita was very chewy - regular rice was a bit bland- the beef kabob was also a bit bland, needed salt and herbs - service was not the best Overall decent place and was a well balanced meal, but I wouldn't recommend most the items I got.

love it Local place Nice service Great foodClean and full of stuff store!Totally recommend it

The food is fantastic, I haven't had anything here that's not amazing and the service is just as good. Highly recommend

Our family considers Taza a gem in this area. It's a pleasure to support this small, local, family-run business. Food is authentic, grocery is well stocked with solid options including our favorite- fresh pita, "boat bread" & huge flat bread twice a week. You can call before you go to check if they have had a fresh delivery that day. So delicious & I highly recommend. The staff are always so friendly & helpful when I have questions. Thank you, Taza!
