Our Story

A little back story about us…

Q’s Deli may have opened in 2022, but our roots in the business go back to the 1980’s. Our story begins with an immigrant from Pakistan, Fayyaz Qureshi (our father). Q’s would not be here if it wasn’t for the career that Fayyaz choose. It was 1981 and our father had just arrived from Pakistan. It didn’t take long before he was working at a deli in Houston. Through out the 1980’s our father worked at and opened several stores in the Houston Area.

By the 1990s all of us siblings were born and our family had been in the restaurant industry for over a decade now. Eventually we switched to another franchise, but stayed in the same industry. Fast forward to 2012 and Ali Q joined the ranks and started to learn the business as well. Together Fayyaz and Ali were able to open multiple deli’s across Texas. Truly learning and growing in the restaurant industry. But we longed for something more. Something away from the franchises.

In 2020 the world learned how fast things can change. Everyone was effected by the pandemic, especially small businesses. Our business at the time took a very big hit from the new work from home orders all that were adopted. We never fully recovered from that change. So we decided we needed to make our own change. We begin the process of forming our own business, away from franchises or any other restrictions. A place where we can serve what we want, when we want. So we took a step back and decided it was time to bring our own concept to the market. An American Deli, with a fully Halal menu. Once we were able to secure a location it only took a couple of months and Q’s Deli was officially open for business.

Thank you everyone for visiting our page, reading our story and supporting our small business! We look forwarding to serving you for many years to come! iA
