Huqqabaz Plans a $2 Million Restaurant Transformation on Westheimer

Huqqabaz is planned for Westheimer Road in Houston, bringing a restaurant brand built around Turkish food, international flavors and social dining into the local development pipeline. A Texas accessibility filing identifies 11685 Westheimer Road for a $2 million restaurant remodel and expansion.

The address gives Houston diners a place to watch. The concept gives them something more interesting to talk about: a restaurant experience that, across the brand, stretches from breakfast through dinner.

What Huqqabaz brings to the table

According to its official corporate profile, Huqqabaz operates under Q Food & Beverage and combines Turkish dishes with influences from world cuisine. Its restaurants are designed for different parts of the day, including casual visits, meals with friends and gatherings around events.

Hookah is also part of the brand’s identity. Huqqabaz describes it as one element of a larger experience built around food, service and atmosphere. That is useful context for understanding the name on the filing, although Houston’s exact menu, hours and amenities have not been confirmed.

The parent group’s portfolio includes Huqqa, The Market, GAL, URLA and other concepts. Huqqabaz is therefore part of a wider restaurant family, rather than a business identity we have to guess from the project name.

A Westheimer address with restaurant history

The property has a documented P.F. Chang’s connection. A restaurant directory listing places P.F. Chang’s at the same 11685 Westheimer Road address. The new registration describes the existing restaurant as vacant.

That provides some history for the site, but it does not establish when P.F. Chang’s closed or whether another tenant used the space afterward. The supported story is a planned transformation of an existing restaurant property.

Inside the Huqqabaz remodel and expansion

The project scope calls for remodeling the vacant restaurant and adding 3,478 square feet. The registration lists 11,252 square feet overall, making this more substantial than a simple refresh of finishes.

Although the filing’s work category says “New Construction,” its written description specifies a remodel with additional space. The scope does not explain how that addition will be used, so a patio, expanded kitchen or particular seating arrangement cannot yet be assumed.

Registered as TABS2027000647, the privately funded project lists I M I Investment Inc. as owner and The Interfield Group as the design firm. The tenant field is unassigned; the facility name is what identifies Huqqabaz.

When could the Houston restaurant open?

The estimated construction schedule runs from March 28 through September 28, 2027. Those are filing estimates for the building work, not a confirmed opening date.

A Houston-specific menu and opening announcement would give diners the next details to look forward to. For now, the combination of an identified restaurant brand, an existing Westheimer property and a sizable planned addition makes this one worth following.
