Authentic Pakistani Food Experience at Chandni Chowk - Fort Worth During my recent stay in Fort Worth, I found myself craving authentic Pakistani food -- the kind that instantly transports you back to the bustling food streets of Karachi. Outside of a few global hubs like London, Mississauga (Canada), or certain pockets of Texas, it's rare to find that level of authenticity. After some searching, I decided to try Chandni Chowk. That choice turned out to be one of the highlights of my trip. Atmosphere Chandni Chowk is not the kind of restaurant you visit for upscale décor or polished ambience. The setting is modest, unpretentious, and straightforward. But that's part of its charm -- here, the focus is squarely on the food. If you're looking for chandeliers and white tablecloths, this isn't the place. But if you're chasing flavor and authenticity, you're in the right spot. The Food Beef Biryani I started with the beef biryani, and it was nothing short of excellent. The rice was aromatic, each grain perfectly separated and infused with spices. The beef was tender to the point of melting in my mouth, while the spice blend carried a depth of flavor -- hints of plum, cilantro, and lemon weaving through without overpowering the dish. A side of fresh onion, green chilies, and lemon wedges elevated the biryani to another level, adding crunch, heat, and freshness. Chicken Seekh Kebab Next came the chicken seekh kebab. It arrived sizzling on a bed of onions and lemon, the smoky aroma filling the room. The kebab was beautifully textured -- crisp on the outside while remaining soft, juicy, and tender inside. The seasoning was bold, slightly fiery, and true to authentic Pakistani street food. Chicken Tikka Leg The chicken tikka leg rounded out my meal. With its charred exterior, juicy interior, and perfectly balanced spices, it tasted exactly like the kind of tikka you'd find at a Karachi food stall. It was nostalgic, hearty, and utterly satisfying. Service One of the highlights of my visit was the service. I was looked after by Mujeeb, who was not only attentive but also clearly passionate about food. During our conversation, he explained how much effort goes into sourcing quality ingredients and monitoring their preparation. It was obvious that this isn't just business for him -- it's something he takes pride in. His enthusiasm added an extra layer to the experience. Practical Notes For those who might be wondering -- parking is plentiful and directly outside the restaurant, which makes dining here hassle-free. Conclusion Chandni Chowk may not dazzle you with its appearance, but it excels where it truly matters: flavor, authenticity, and heart. Every dish I tried reminded me of Karachi's vibrant food streets, making this more than just a meal -- it was a nostalgic journey. If you're in Fort Worth and want genuine Pakistani cuisine, Chandni Chowk is a must-visit. I'll definitely be coming back, and I highly recommend it to anyone, whether you're already a fan of Pakistani food or eager to explore it for the first time. read more

Do not ever venture to this restaurant. They serve you with food that is mostly stale. I recently ordered a take away "Mutton Kadai" meal which cost around $21.00. Had to throw it away because of the bad smell. read more

Ordered a beef biryani. No flavor at all. Seems they mixed beef n rice together and call it biryani. Very disappointing read more

There's just something special about supporting a mom-and-pop restaurant. It gives you that comforting, soulful feeling, like you're part of something. Lala, the owner, just radiates that gentle soul energy that makes you feel welcome as soon as you walk in. This was my first time trying both Karahi (spicier) and Makhani(sweeter), and I couldn't have asked for a better introduction to these bold, comforting Pakistani/Indian flavors. We also ordered mango lassi to wash all the flavors done. It was sweet but a refreshing treat. read more

Food was fresh and packed perfectly. The Chicken Tikka order was delicious, portions are very generous, and rice is very flavorful. You also get a Chicken grill skewer and it's packed with flavor. I have ordered from here many a times and every time it's delicious. read more

Tried this hidden gem of a Pakistani mom-and-pop restaurant in Euless for the first time and left impressed. With very little knowledge of the cuisine, I came in with an open mind and was not disappointed. The goat dish was rich and flavorful, while the shrimp was a little underwhelming but packed with spices. To top it off, the mango lassi was creamy, refreshing, and the perfect balance to the bold new flavors that I am exploring. Service was typical of a mom and pop, welcoming, warm and efficient. read more

Amazing food. Their combo meals are really good. Missed on some sweets as I was traveling. Service is great. However maybe not a great place for family get together for everyone. Still highly recommended! read more

Really great place for getting kebabs and other grilled items. I ordered the large grill platter and it came with four rumali rotis and beef seekh kebab, beef bihari kebab, and chicken tikka boti kebab. The box had four small containers of mint sauce and some onions and lemon slices. The kebabs were soft and juicy and really well spiced. I loved everything in the platter and can't wait to be back to try the other items on the menu. read more

We stop while passing and found this restaurant. Very good food, we ordered Biryani, NIHARI and barbecue. Everything was good and delicious. If you need a Pakistani food, this is your stop. read more

I have already tried kadai, biryanI and barbecue items. They all were fresh and have pure desi zaiqa specifically Nihari was amazing besides that the service was great . Iftikhar Syed read more

Dine here, thank me later. I believe this restaurant has been under new ownership for about 1.5 years, and I can't believe I hadn't found this hidden gem tucked away in Euless until just now. Starting off with the atmosphere, I will be honest and admit it's not "Instagram-ready", but the owner is clearly working to improve the restaurant. So if you are looking for something super fancy, this is not it. BUT... if you are looking for some of the best Pakistani food you have ever had in DFW ... this is definitely the place to visit. The owner is clearly passionate about his restaurant endeavor and is super friendly and very helpful. My family (8 adults and 6 kids) and I ate so much food and still had plenty of leftovers to take home. We ordered several dishes, and they all came out together, piping hot (as you can see from the videos). We ordered the following dishes: Chicken Karhai and Goat Karhai (both were packed full of flavor and finger-licking good), Goat Biryani (one of the best biryanis I have ever had in DFW), Beef Nihari (the gravy was very flavorful, but I was expecting the texture of the meat to be softer and easier to pull apart), Chicken 65 (chatpata and I liked that it had a bit of a saucy touch to it), Butter Chicken (kids loved this one and it was not spicy at all, but still delish), and the Large Meat Platter of grilled meats (this was incredible! the Beef Seekh Kababs were so soft and marinated to perfection, the boneless Chicken was tasty and moist, and Beef Bihari Kabab was also marinated very well and literally melting in my mouth). Of course, we also ordered Naan and I ate way more pieces than I planned. They also have an ice cream and falooda corner within the restaurant that we didn't get a chance to check out during this visit. I can't wait to return soon so I can try more menu items and next time, I will be sure to save room for dessert! All in all, 10/10 recommend. If you haven't checked out Chandni Chowk Grill in Euless, then you are definitely missing out! read more

Had the chicken Kadai / biryani and more today. Amazing taste- chicken was melting from the bones- very very well done. Excellent marination- tastefully spicy being the key word! The owner Alex was there personally taking to the guests making sure that's they are happy and enjoying the food. Very personable. Will be back every time I am near the Dfw area. read more

Noisy. Service is poor. Takes a long time before server takes order, they are not very polite and it takes a long time for food to arrive.

Ordered for the first time today. Food was good, but I was so disappointed that for around $20 total, it didn't come with any Indian/Basmati rice, with lunch entrees. I've ordered from many Indian restaurants through the years and every single one includes a side of rice with their entrees. What it did come with was a container of sliced onions and sliced jalapenos...(Huh?) I thought it was a mistake, so I called them. I was told that their entrees do not come with rice and that it would be an extra $6 to add it. WTH? As if their prices weren't high enough. Sorry Chandni Chowk Grill, this was the first and last time I will order from you. read more

Amazing food, the chicken 65 and the butter chicken are top notch. Ever since moving to Euless my wife and I have frequented here for the better part of a year. I really appreciate the amazing service and quality they provide. If you love supporting local family owned small businesses this place is a great addition to your rotation. read more

We decided to try this place for dinner, dine in. We got combos with the chicken tikka masala and butter chicken. They came with ample naan and rice along with onions and fresh jalapeños (not sure why) and some bonus chicken. The food was delicious! For Indian food it was also a great price point and I think they got the portions right. One less star because of a little bit of a wait for food which we didn't really mind. Also the ambiance could use some love. It's a new place and the decor is sparse but not a big deal. We loved it and will be back, likely often! read more

I ordered their Halwa Puri and it was half decent. The aloo bhaji was very watery. The restaurant is relatively close and delivers to us so not a bad option but not sure if I would order their halwa puri again. read more

Food is amazing. Best place I've tried so far in Irving/Dallas area. I've eaten here at least 7x times now and always consistent.

Bestowed this restaurant with my presence last Saturday . Ordered tea, samosa for in-house while I wait for tawa palao to go. Samosa was a rock to chew . I decided to break the samosa with hands and use my poor teeth to chew it down . Chai was better taste where I don't have to use my already worn out teeth. Tawa palao was really bad , awful in taste . Looks like they freeze the stuff and then put it on tawa to reheat it . I literally got robbed of over $20 for this god forsaken food. I think the management had change and now we have someone running this place with a vengeance against human stomachs . My last visit to this hellhole read more

Some of the best chicken I've ever had!!! Really really good and the management / owners are very kind! Def will be back

AMAZING FOOD!!! Loved the beef nihari and a hot cup of chai to wash it down :) The service is sooooo hospitable and friendly :,) they made me feel like I was part of their family haha read more

The food is flavourful and customer service is great. This is not a fast food restaurant so expect to wait atleast 10-15 minutes to get your order ready. Overall great experience read more

I absolutely love ordering from here! When I think that I want Indian food, this is where I order from. I typically get the Chicken Tikka Masala but will occasionally get Butter Chicken just to switch it up every now and then. The naan is always fresh and perfect and the samosas are pretty good too. I only order OUT from here, though. The smell inside is too strong and I imagine is the reason most people don't eat at the restaurant. read more

Decided to give this place a try because it was right next door to where I got my nails done. It smelled so amazing. Greeted when I walked in the door. Very spacious spot, not too many tables, and not too much decor. The lady at the register was very helpful. I ordered chickpeas rice and naan bread. Took about 20-25 minutes to come out. Seasoned well. There was something that was in it that I didn't like. I was just expecting peppers and chickpeas. The food was nice and hot. I would return here and there. read more

excellent food excellent service Will come back again and again 10/10 Their all dishes tastes better than ever one in Dallas read more

Excellent food. I was away from home for work and wanted to eat Pakistani cuisine. Chandni Chowk Grill has excellent food. Sumptuous and tasty. I highly recommend their Chiicken Karachi and Bryani. read more

Food: butter chicken bad taste Service: to go they didn't provide any plate spoon and fork read more

Had seen this place on my way to work, but never stopped. Decided to give it a try for lunch today, and I was not disappointed. They have a smaller menu than a bigger restaurant, but everything I had was delicious! The butter chicken was clearly "real" chicken (in contrast to what another reviewer called "sludge") and they adjusted the spiciness level quite nicely. And the palak paneer was also tasty. I preferred the garlic naan to the plain version. My wife and I will be back, and won't hesitate to recommend it to others. The staff we dealt with were friendly and helpful. As an aside and a commentary on Yelp's algorithms, I found it odd that the two very positive reviews were excluded from the listing, while the three negative ones were listed. Maybe there's a reason - I don't know. But it seems odd. read more

This place is great! Authentic food, great quality, amazing service. My family has been getting food from them for parties and gatherings. Definitely a winner! read more

Excellent taste reminded me of back home Mr lala very gracious host and desserts kulfis delicious I would strongly suggest everyone to try the food very fulfilling .....rate 5 read more

The place felt like a haunted house. Dark, dingy, and creepy. Couldn't wait to get out of there. Service was terrible. Waiters were as friendly as a grumpy cat. Took forever to get our food, and they acted like we were inconveniencing them by being there. The food tasted gross. Like old socks mixed with dirt. Wouldn't feed it to my worst enemy. read more

Took a chance by going into this place. For whatever reason we thought this was a Thai restaurant. So we went with it. We ordered chicken tikka masala, beef kabob & garlic naan to dine in. We wanted to try the samosas but they ran out. Big issue, this restaurant is located next to a nail shop and all of the fumes seem to seep into the restaurant. It was almost unbearable. So we decided to change it to To-Go. It took about 15-20 minutes for food to cook. While we waited, I read the reviews and was so worried. BUT.... When I say it came out HOT and fresh! I mean HOT and fresh. It was literally burning my hands thru the bag. And everything was delicious. Great spice, not too overpowering. You can tell everything was done when we ordered it. Yum!!! Everything was so good. Very pleasantly surprised. I would definitely order food to go again. read more

For me This is way better and more authentic Indian food i around the US. Would order from there again next time Im around.

Went there a few days ago. They only had a few items on the menu available for sale. They were not even making the rest of items. I dont think this place will make it. read more

Poor service, waited 15 min for a call back for some samosas and never got the call. It's been 4 hours now. Went to the store to see if they have them, they do but they didn't wanna give it now and asked to come back on Tuesday or told me to take half chicken and half beef, when I need beef only. Not going to waste my time anymore by buying from here. read more

Beware, the online ordering site ROCKS! Even told my wife how easy it was. Impressive. Showed up to restaurant...no food for you! Yes, they acknowledged my online order (showed them my online order confirmation and #), then said "Sorry, we don't accept online orders". Ummm....what? "But I just showed you my online confirmation." "YES!" "But you're saying there is no online ordering?" "YES!" "But your own website has an ORDER button that allows me to order online?" "YES!" "But that's a fairy tale and even if I place an order it goes into cyber never land and I still must order in person, inhale everyone's Delta for 15min and THEN get my food?" "YES!" "So why bother ordering online?!" "YES!" [Are you grasping the not so subtle inference regarding conversing?] Hope the food is AMAZINGBALLS as this will be our LAST visit to Chandni Thwock Shill. read more

Horrible quality food and drinks. Health inspectors should shut this place down. Nothing is fresh. The manager even admitted that if food is lying around from a previous order they will use that same food for your order. This is not only gross but dangerous. Totally unhygienic. Shut this place down before someone gets ill or dies. Terrible. read more

Good food. Tandoori chicken leg and chicken biriyani were delicious great portion at a good price point as well . Will be returning

Loved the food. Definitely recommend. Staff was kind. Food was fresh. The portions are humongous. The small rice is definitely enough for 4.

This place is terrible. Ordered daal and chicken 65. Daal was like water and flavorless. I asked ahead of time if chicken 65 was white meat and they told me it was. So I ordered it. Turns out it's not white meat and it's some kind of horrible quality mystery meat - like sludge or rubber. God knows what the hell it is. Could be cat meat for all I know. On top of this, the owners are extremely cheap and stingy. They charge you for condiments that should be complimentary. They also offered nothing when I complained about the horrible quality chicken. Didn't even apologize. Awful food and awful customer service. Definitely won't be back. read more
