Sunland C.

Overall liked this place. Their Maash daal was my favorite. Their garlic naan was delicious too. Their also samosa had great flavor. I wasn't a huge fan of their beef one, but it wasn't bad. Both were pretty small. Their chicken tikka masala was creamy and sweeter than I am used to, but decent flavor. I did not like their beef nihari, but not necessarily because i thought it tasted bad. I could tell the beef was tender. I just personally didn't like whatever minty herb was in the gravy. I think this place was a great option for the lunch. Our server Romaisa was helpful and responsive whenever we needed anything.

Beef Nihari
Salma S.

Came for their Sunday brunch $20/ person plus tax and $3 service charge (Service charge is the servers cleaning, refilling food and bringing out fresh naan and puri through out the meal). So for 2 people our total was about $49 So if you haven't had Pakistani breakfast it's greasy, spicy and heavy- just incase you decide to come in based on this review lol. Ashar's is known for their Nihari so if you come here don't leave with out trying it. Brunch consisted of halwa puri, biryani, egg parata, Keema, nihari, paya and chicken biryani. I like to take the sauce from paya and put a little in my nihari so Nihari always good. I am not sure how to review but I know what I was in the mood for and I got it. Servers were great all in all a good experience. I think I have satisfied this craving for an extended period of time.

A.k special beef nihari

Ashar's Kitchen is a major disappointment. I ordered 1 Chicken Biryani, 1 Beef Nihari, and 2 Garlic Naan and it was ridiculously expensive. Anywhere else it would have been significantly cheaper. The $17 Biryani only had two pieces of chicken, mostly bones. Make matters worse, the $19 Nihari only had one mid-sized piece of beef in the tray - that feeds one person! You can go anywhere else; heck go spend $19 at a Pakistani Buffet down the street and get as much meat as you want. Will never be coming back.

I visited Ashar's on Hwy 6, Sugar Land around 12:15 AM and had a very disappointing experience. I ordered Biryani and Grilled Chicken. When the biryani arrived, there was an immediate unpleasant smell that clearly indicated the meat was not fresh. This was concerning and unacceptable. We then waited almost 25 minutes for the "Grilled Chicken." What we received was not grilled at all--it was deep-fried chicken. We asked for it to be packed to go, but when we opened it at home, the strong oil smell was overwhelming. Overall, the food quality was extremely poor, the order was incorrect, and the experience was thoroughly disappointing. This is not what one expects from a restaurant, especially at these prices. I will not be returning and would advise others to be cautious.

Nali Nihari
Yasser H.

Had to upgrade the rating, as I went with my family this year and was actually seated with a Group of people that I've known for 45 years Unlike what happened in my previous visit. Please read the earlier review for more Deets. We actually arrived around six-ish and Were seated right away and off we went to the Buffet. The nihari AYCE with 7 different flavors and unlimited naans and garnish available at your disposal. It was a feast. The Nali Nihari is far the best and that's the one I go for seconds. The food was delicious, fresh and kept getting Replenished as folks were finishing them at a rapid pace. The AYCE feature is available on Wednesday nights and has been hit with inflation just like any other place. It used to be 8.99 but now I believe it 11.99. Still a damn good deal!

2 Pieces Beef Dhaga Kabab
Hamza A.

Ashars kitchen was a excellent place for a SOLID pakistani meal. If you love Karachi's food you will not be disappointed. the dhaga kebab was fresh, moist, and fell apart just like back home. Flavors were on par as well! Now for the main course, the Beef Nihari was so nostalgic! The flavors were warm and bold, the texture was amazing, and the butter naan complimented it beautifully. The standard luazmat (toppings) were provided as well. 4/5 because the interior wasn't all that. Definitely more of a fast casual vibe.

The space has touch of modern vibes in a warm group friendly / community setting. The layout can be customized for large groups, but yours truly prefers the booths with a window to the outside world. (#1) The bathrooms are clean and the very enthusiastic Afghani (?) staff are a bubbly and fun bunch. One of their standout offerings is their weekly buffet nights and weekend brunch buffets, which regularly draws locals looking for variety and value. The Thursday evening service is street food inspired with chaats, nihari "tacos" and a mix of Indo-Chinese foods such as fried rice (#2) and spring rolls. The Sunday all day buffet is a bit more of my speed, which a number of curries, naans, and desserts. The spread varies from week to week, but it is generally quite good. Prices are standard and the aforementioned parking is abundant. I would be compelled to return on different Sundays to peep the seasonal selections and look forward to my return in the near future. ____________ (#1) Or a view to a massive parking lot.

The service is very quick and I loved our server; she was so kind and frequently checked in on us, ensuring we were enjoying our food. I went during their lunch special, which a fantastic deal you cannot beat. You choose from a list of entrees with your protein and it comes with the soup of the day and a crispy vegetable roll. We did the chicken pad thai (no spice because I'm weak) and panang curry with chicken (default medium spicy). We also ordered a fresh limemade. For the lunch portions, they are still extremely filling and leave you stuffed! The pad thai with chicken had the perfect flavor (not too sour or sweet) and even with no spice, it did not come at the expense of flavor. The panang curry was served with rice in the shape of a heart (so cute) and had great flavor! The default medium spicy has a perfect amount of kick to it (too spicy for me, but my boyfriend loved it). We were also given a chili sauce on the side that the server recommended. A few drops was soo spicy but the good kind! The flavor was amazing paired with the curry. We also ordered a fresh limemade and were able to watch her make it in the kitchen - it is indeed freshly squeezed and refreshing! All the food was 10/10 and I will definitely be returning to try other dishes!

We ordered the tikka chicken masala paratha and chicken biriyani with a side of fries. The paratha was packed with protein, but unfortunately was hard and dry. The sauce/gravy within the wrap was decent, but just couldn't save the chicken. The biriyani was ok. Chicken was decent but the rice lacked something that made it taste like restaurants quality. The fries were the most disappointing - they were stale and tasted overcooked, sort of like when you reheat day old fries. There's an indicator when your child doesn't care for any fries. Overall meal was about $30. We tipped and cleaned up after ourselves. Not the best counter service, but not bad. The interior was ok. They had Mr. Bean playing on TV, so that brought back some old childhood nostalgia feels. Unlikely that we will be back, but if so, I'll try the burger next time.
