Halal Munchies Opens in Bear Creek, Bringing Big Platters and Late-Night Comfort Food to Highway 6
Heads up, Bear Creek and The Colonies residents: there’s a new place to add to your regular food rotation. Halal Munchies is now open at 4826 Hwy 6 N B, Houston, TX 77084, taking over the spot many locals knew as Tong’s Kitchen. It’s the kind of place built for when you want something filling, familiar, and easy—whether that’s after work, between errands, or late at night when most kitchens are already closed.
The menu leans into comfort food with a twist. Halal Munchies is known for its oversized platters stacked with rice, salad, or fries and topped with seasoned chicken, lamb, falafel, kofta, or fish. You’ll also find gyros, wings, burgers, chicken sandwiches, cheesesteaks, salads, and all the sides you’d expect—fries, onion rings, mozzarella sticks, and more. Portions are generous, flavors are bold, and everything is meant to be quick and satisfying.
What Does “Halal” Mean, Really?
For some local diners, halal food may already be familiar. In everyday terms, halal refers to how food—especially meat—is sourced and prepared, following specific guidelines that exclude pork and alcohol-based ingredients. For many people, halal food is appealing because of the emphasis on cleanliness, quality, and consistency. At Halal Munchies, those standards show up in dishes that feel approachable and familiar, not intimidating or overly niche.

From New York to Bear Creek
Halal Munchies started in 2020 and has grown quickly, with more than 50 locations across states like New York, Ohio, Michigan, Virginia, and Connecticut. Texas entered the picture in late 2025 with a Richardson location, and now Bear Creek has its own. Setting up along Highway 6 makes sense—it’s a busy stretch that locals already rely on for dining, errands, and everyday stops.
A New Go-To for the Neighborhood
For nearby residents, Halal Munchies fills a practical gap. It’s casual, affordable, and works for a lot of situations—grabbing lunch, feeding a hungry household, or ordering delivery when cooking just isn’t happening. The restaurant is also available on major delivery apps, making it even easier to enjoy without leaving home.
As Bear Creek continues to grow and change, new openings like Halal Munchies reflect what many locals want right now: good food, close to home, without a lot of fuss. Whether it becomes a late-night favorite or a regular takeout stop, it’s another neighborhood option for when the craving hits and convenience matters.
