I wanted to try everything on the menu but ended up getting the Wagyu brisket, ribs, Mac & cheese, beef tallow fries, empanada. Everything was 10/10 and I recommend trying all of these menu items. For the sides definitely try the fries & Mac n cheese. The Wagyu brisket was so tender and the ribs melted right off the bone. They also have specialty drinks. The blueberry one was delicious. A lot of restaurants don't get the fizziness of drinks right but Kafi scored a 10 across the board.

I would recommend coming with someone because one person can order while the other finds and claims a table. It gets busy! It's still a good vibe though. The only downside for me was the drinks. They weren't very good. I completely understand not having a coke/pepsi brand soda machine, but I do think having bottled drinks would be a great alternative. Aside from that, the food was AMAZING, and I'll definitely be coming back!

It was a great experience for a quick bite that was reasonably priced as well. My friends and I ordered the chicken tikka roll and the masala fries. I really enjoyed the fries (addicting) as they had the perfect spice blend coating them. The Kati roll itself is excellent and really hits the spot with a nice flavor and spice profile. The chicken breast is grilled in a skewer and marinated with spices and Indian yogurt. There's also chutney you can add to the rolls if you'd like. They offer a selection of beer, Indian (i.e. Limca and Thumbs Up), and American soft drinks for purchase. I would definitely visit this spot again!

Every single dish was PERFECTLY cooked and seasoned. The chicken and veggies were seasoned with just enough spices where it had a slight kick, but not overpowering at all.

Speaking of hummus, the Izmir hummus was silky smooth and incredible. I've had a lot of restaurant hummus and this one was MILES in ahead of them. It also paired beautifully with all of the other items. A flawless base. I cannot wait to come back here! Marcelo was an amazing waiter and even gave us recommendations for next time.

I look forward to eat the left overs tomorrow, or sharing them with my husband! I originally was going to order from the Hala guys, but I am glad I didn't. This place ended up being so much better.

The combo plates were okay but definitely not the best we've had. If you're looking for a food option late at night and you're in a pinch then this spot may be a good move but outside of that I wouldn't try it again. The ordering system is also a self serve kiosk. There was no one as front of house that could assist in answering questions we had about the menu and customization options.

Overall: 3.7/5 [delivery]…read more Big hefty burgers for a great price and quick delivery. They also give a lot of pickles which is always a win. BYO Burger ($10.99) + Bacon ($1.50) + Caramelized Onions ($0.50) + Fried Onion Ring ($0.50) + Bodacious BBQ + Goat Chips ($2.99) = $16.48: This burger was better than the Firebird. My only gripe was that the fried onion ring had a harder texture than I would have liked so biting through it wasn't the best experience. The real star of the meal though was the goat chips. Perfect texture, nice and crispy with seasoning that was chef's kiss. My husband was absolutely addicted and said it was Michelin level. Firebird ($12.99) + Fried Egg ($1.50) + Avocado Spread ($1) + Onions ($0.50) + Side Salad ($6.49) + Balsamic Vinaigrette = $22.23: The salad came with no bacon and was very plain tasting. The chicken didn't seem fried to us and had no outer batter so it tasted more like it was baked. There was a slight heat to it and the taste was okay but if you're looking for a hot Nashville chicken sandwich this isn't it.

It was easy to find; we did get dropped off, so I'm not sure about parking. Upon walking in, we were greeted and shown right away to our seats.

Also, I noticed the dress code wasn't really enforced, as the website and text stated. Moving on, our server, Alberto, was very nice. The food was delicious, and the drinks were pretty good. The only issue I kept having was the flies, followed by mosquitoes, which made it a bit uncomfortable, at least for me.

You can tell they brew it and it doesn't come from a syrup. When I sat down, I was instantly greeted, and there were like four different people serving my table, I think that they all work as a team to make sure everything is covered. The service was just amazing. Restaurant is beautiful, the booths were , small and intimate and you feeling that you in place with privacy and yet part of the group ....kind of interesting how they've done that. But the food! The food was outstanding, first they gave me a complementary appetizer of Jasmine sticky rice with this eggplant chutney, that was very tasty, a teeny bit spicy, but really good depth with flavor. Then my beef Samosas arrived. There were four, wrapped in like a triangle rapper, smaller than the Indian version of the same, and the flavor was very tasty, and corn and small chopped potatoes, yum! The two chutneys that came with it one was a cool cucumber, and the other was this sweet and spicy plum sauce. They made samosas!!! They could be soft and cool, or they could be delicious and spicy, depending on chutney you had them with and you had a third option.... There was a bed of pickled radish and carrot that really sit off the samosas as well and we're just delicious on their own. I devoured the entire thing. Then get the entrée. I had drunken noodles and I added the shredded pork... It was devastatingly tasty!!! the noodles were obviously done it a wok that's been seasoned to perfection. The wide noodles picked up all that deliciousness from the wok and then combined with the pork... heaven ! They had large pieces of bell pepper and tomatoes. very fresh onions... Just deliciousness. I was too full this time to get dessert, but I'm definitely coming back and I will definitely try it next time

I really want to give the food a 5/5, but if I'm comparing it to a lot of the Thai places I've been…read moreto in Houston, I have to fairly rate them 4/5. There's just been truly so many outstanding experiences I've had in Houston. Regardless, the food was very good and it was authentic, we did get dishes similar to what we got at Street to Kitchen in Houston, which is the most authentic Thai we've had. Food: I forgot to take pictures of two other dishes we ordered, the Thai chicken, wings, and the drunken noodles. But let me start with the complementary sticky rice. I've actually never had a complementary "starter" at a Thai restaurant, so they stood out, and it was a good meal prepper. The dip is an eggplant type of dip so it's not peanut sauce based. It was really good. The best dish was the crab dip with the shrimp chips, the dip was curried and balanced well with the crab. The chicken wings weren't as crispy as we're used to, and there were more on the saucy side, but it was a solid 4/5 dish. The drunken noodles were good and I feel like they had a great mix of veggies, beef, and noodles in the dish, so it wasn't so carb heavy. But we've definitely had better flavor drunken noodles before. Lastly, the mango sticky rice presentation was unlike anything I've seen before, and I loved it. Do I prefer the traditional sliced mango over a bit of rice? Perhaps. But I did enjoy tasting the mango and the condensed milk and a sticky rice together inside the coconut for a change. Service: we went during dinnertime on a Saturday night, and I was so impressed with the level of service we had. Because don't get me wrong, they were busy, but the food came out so fast & we had multiple servers filling up our water and ensuring we're doing okay. We were literally out of there in about an hour, but it wasn't because they were pushing us out, it was truly because everything was so quick. And I loved that strategy they used where we didn't have just one server assigned to us, which is probably why they are thriving here in Dallas. Overall, if you're craving Thai, I would recommend coming here.

The food is always good! They are always busy working! Although they are busy , that doesn't keep the staff from being welcoming, respectful and helpful. As you know the parking for this location is kind of tough, but it is to be expected when in a downtown city. There is parking (a parking lot) behind the building. Just take the little alley road on the left before the shop on the left. Or even across the street there is a small lot. The ambiance is small, a few tables. Sometimes there are people sitting and eating but it is mostly a lot of to go orders. You will see a lot of to go people parking their car really quick to hop out and get their food. I highly recommend Big Guy's to everyone.

Overall: 2.7/5 [delivery]…read more Ordered on UberEats and delivery was quick. The bowls are on the smaller side and the description said they come with tomatoes but there were none in either bowl. We got the white and red sauces on the side. The white sauce wasn't good and while I love mint, this was way too minty and didn't pair well with the bowl. The red sauce was a bit spicy and better but I've had better sauces for this type of dish elsewhere. Big Guy's Mixed Rice Platter ($14.50): Got it with sauce on the side and 50 salad and 50 rice. Comes with 3 proteins including chicken, beef, and lamb. Chicken was tender but flavors were a bit muted. The beef and lamb were a bit on the drier side. Beef and Lamb Rice Platter ($14.50) + Big Guy's Special ($4.50): Also sauce on the side and 50 salad and 50 rice. The special comes with 1 pita and 1 aloo. The aloo wasn't bad. The pita was fine but didn't taste freshly made the way you'd get at a restaurant. Disappointed overall. I've had halal bowls in NYC and this does not compare.

Looking for a nice steakhouse to celebrate a special occasion or meet up with friends? LOOK…read moreELSEWHERE. This was one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had at a "high-end" restaurant, ,or honestly, even a regular restaurant. We made a reservation during DFW Restaurant Week to celebrate a friend's move and new job. Unfortunately, it was a terrible decision from start to finish. We were seated in the back in an area with almost no lighting. I assumed it was intentional because it's a fancy restaurant, but as we were leaving, I noticed they turned the lights on for the next group. So apparently, our table just didn't deserve them. I ordered the three-course Restaurant Week special. The crab cakes were extremely salty, I could only eat half of one. The steak was okay but nothing impressive. The twice-baked potato was cheesy, chunky, and extremely heavy, and didn't pair well with the steak. The crème brûlée wasn't much better; the custard was very thick and seemed overbaked, while the sugar topping was already soggy from apparently being torched too early. Then came the service, or lack thereof. Because the food was so salty, everyone desperately needed water. After the crab cakes were served, nobody came to check on us or refill our glasses. We had to flag down 3 different waiters, and it still took another five minutes to get a pitcher. This lack of attention continued throughout the entire evening. What made it worse was that the staff didn't even seem busy; we could see them standing around the bar chatting. Our waiter, Ivan, handed out the checks, but there was one extra. When we pointed it out, he didn't believe us and argued with us instead of simply recounting them. My friend calmly suggested that we hold up our checks so he could count them himself. Ivan eventually walked around collecting them one by one to confirm there was, in fact, an extra. It was like teaching a kindergartener how to count from one to six. Ridiculous. Then I noticed I had been charged $36 for the crème brûlée, even though it was included in the Restaurant Week meal. We pointed out the mistake and asked Ivan to remove the charge. Again, he responded with an attitude, walked away to fix it, and disappeared. We waited 15+ minutes. Everyone had somewhere to be at 7:45, so our friends eventually left ahead of us. My boyfriend and I waited another 10 minutes before finally walking toward the bar to find our waiter ourselves. When we asked how much longer it would take, he said, "I'm still fixing it," with the same attitude. By this point, we had been waiting 30+ minutes just to correct two items on a bill. Printing a check and removing an incorrect charge should not take half an hour. If you know your customers are having a bad experience, apologize and do better. Instead, Ivan continued to be dismissive and sassy. To his credit, another waiter eventually apologized and told us to ask for Kevin if we ever came back. Next time? Never going to happen. Imagine dressing up for a dinner that costs $100+ per person, only to receive worse service than you'd expect at a fast-food restaurant. We came here for DFW Restaurant Week and to see if this really was one of the best steakhouses in downtown Dallas. Instead, we left disappointed, frustrated, and feeling like we wasted a lot of money on what was supposed to be a special evening. I also couldn't help but wonder whether our group being Asian had anything to do with how we were treated. I don't want to accuse a restaurant of racism based on one experience, but being seated in the back with poor lighting, repeatedly ignored, struggling to get water, and then receiving attitude over obvious billing mistakes made it hard not to question whether there was something more going on. I generally try not to give a business a low rating based on one bad experience, but this was bad enough that I cannot recommend this place to anyone. We honestly should have just gone to Texas Roadhouse. At least we would have gotten better service and probably enjoyed the evening more.

The baked potato had great toppings on top of it, but it was very undercooked and it was hard. The chocolate mousse was gritty and it somehow tasted like watered down chocolate. The margarita was a good size and was average, but still good. The rum cocktail with cherry liqueur was tasty and enjoyable. The drinks were our favorite part of the meal.
