Annie Khan said she is trying to change people's perceptions about burgers with her organic halal restaurant OMG! Burger. Khan opened the restaurant in December with her sister, brother-in-law and husband. Although this is her first location in Katy, Khan said she is not a stranger to the restaurant business. She previously owned a burger restaurant in Dallas. After selling it to a new owner so she could move closer to family in Houston, she knew she wanted to try again.
“This time we wanted to make everything more healthy and fresh with a better quality of ingredients,” Khan said.
In fact, nothing is frozen and everything is made to order at her restaurant, Khan said. The patties are formed fresh every day, and the french fries are cut daily. The guacamole and pico de gallo are made in-house as well.
Although halal food is largely an ethnic custom, Khan said more and more Americans are turning to the practice as a healthier alternative.
