Seen in older guides, checked Nov 2026: Genesis Steakhouse & Wine Bar (80 Braeswood Square): the Houston Kashruth Association revoked its kosher certification in January 2025, the owner closed it, and the space reopened as Exodus Bar and Grill on May 15 2025, which is no longer kosher (Community Impact, 20 May 2025: https://communityimpact.com/bellaire-meyerland-west-university/dining/former-kosher-steakhouse-genesis-rebrands-as-a-non-kosher-neighborhood-restaurant/). Same address and phone (713-665-2222) now trade as Exodus, which has a bar, cocktails and Saturday hours; HKA and TORCH pages still list Genesis · The Bagel Shop on Hillcroft: no longer kosher since Oct 1 2022 per Young Israel's list (https://www.yihouston.org/restaurants.html); the Bellaire shop is still listed and is in food · A Taste of Tel Aviv / Pizza Tel Aviv (9804 Hillcroft, 832-203-5784, on older YI, TORCH and kosher.com 2023 lists): Chabad's MKT page (read Nov 2026) lists Mexicano at that address (added to food), so the old name and phone look stale; no closure date found. TA'IM at 9806 Hillcroft is confirmed
