As far as hole in the wall restaurants go, this is the hidden gem you've been looking for if you want top notch food from the Middle East without having to fly to another continent. It's not Americanized in any fashion and I mean that in the best way possible. The flavors are amazing with a great combination of spices to dazzle your taste buds. All the spices are hand ground in-house using traditional methods. They also make their own yogurt, sauces, and tea blends such as their wonderfully pink fantastic tea. The authenticity can't be surpassed and is well worth the unique experience and reasonable wait for a fresh, hot meal. This place is about making stellar food and feeding the community with old family recipes rather than trying to impress customers through cliché decor, trendy avocado toast, or Chick-fil-A pseudo-smiles. They're often busy catering for the local mosque or doing large pick-up orders so sometimes the menu is limited but everything I've tried so far is fantastic. The majority of people that eat here are immigrants or the children of immigrants which means you know the food is authentic. The food is halal so meat quality is always superior. Aside from doing lots of catering, they only usually have one person on staff so service is not what you might expect from a typical restaurant, however this is no typical restaurant. The experience is like going to the house of your Arab aunt or uncle, who is always cooking, and having them whip something together for you. Portions are a great size for the cost and if you're not an ambiance snob, you're in for a real treat. read more

Horrible food and service, not on time, very messy food, never go there again , cold and soggy food,

Keema Naan, no words to describe. Too delicious, all over the Houston no body makes this. I recommend everyone try it.

This business is closed :( We were going to eat here before attending a pottery class, and we got there and it looks like it has been closed for quite some time. Google needs to update their "hours". read more

I came here on a recommendation from a friend, and I'm glad I did. That said, I can see why some people were less than impressed. The storefront is small, and there's not much space to dine in. When we came by to pick up dinner, only the owner was on site. He mentioned something about the girl who was supposed to be working calling in sick. That's better than having her come in and cough/sneeze all over my food, I guess. We ordered the chicken kabobs, which were absolutely delicious. They were served with salad and rice, and were the perfect portion-- filling but not too much. Service took a long time, but with just one person trying to prepare three families worth of orders, that's understandable. From what I understand, this location opened not too long ago, and they're still working out some of the kinks. I'll swing by again in a couple of months and see if they've managed to figure it out. read more

Good home style food. Tastes like they use their own spices. Fresh and mild but very flavorful food. Chicken seekh kababs are awesome. Will definitely go back again. read more

Amazing chicken kebabs !! Accidentally ordered the chicken kebab rolls instead of the chicken kebabs grilled skewers. Absolutely delicious!! I ordered it to go and was pleasantly surprised! The ac wasn't running at the restaurant so it was a little warm and musky in there but they really have done a good job making the place look better! read more

Chicken kebab platter with rice and small salad was delicious. It is located between Cillie's Bakery and Empress Market on Dulles near Broadmoor and Ramirez St. in a strip center. read more

I'm an inner looper, but I was here for a staff lunch earlier this month celebrating the Persian New Year. And, the following was prepared for us: biryani (goat or beef, I'm guessing), chana saag, chicken kebabs, and of course, naan. The most pleasing part of the meal was the ambiance. I felt as if I were in a rustic cabin in some remote part of the country and being served my favorite kind of food. That, itself, was a winner. The service was great too. I'm a picky eater, but I love Indian/Pakistani food, so I was pleased with how authentic everything smelled, tasted, and reminded me of home. Well, maybe not tasted. I found the food to be spicier than anticipated and couldn't douse it with enough raita to make it palatable. I would, however, recommend this place for those wanting authentic Indian/Pakistani food outside the loop. I'll only return if necessary - - it's quite far from home. read more

This was my first visit based on the reviews and certainly left as a satisfied customer. Lahori Cholay was very delicious and the serving was in generous size. Naans were fresh and bigger than I thought it would be. Chicken kabob was very sumptuous and tasty. Worth the price! Dine in facility can certainly be improved. read more

So this place has moved. it used to be inside a grocery store on beechnut but now its on hwy 6 and westpark drive/tollway road. its ON hwy 6 on the feeder road. i think its a terrible location, people cannot see it from the highway. its a huge place but tucked away. The food here is incredible. The beef/chicken kabobs are so succulent and delicious! my mouth is watering writing this review. DEFINITELY a houston MUST eat place if you love kabobs. Their biryani is extremely good as well! read more

I always order the chicken boti platter...call ahead as some of times they might be out of boti.. it happened to us couple of times... i would usually call 45 minutes ahead. The biriyani and chicken boti tastes so good... only if they had more service people. read more

One of the best Seikh Kabob any where I eaten. Nice in door and out door setup. Great tasting variety of foods. Lots of unique food and taste. Place is nice and clean. Employees are friendly. Owner is nice and friendly. read more

Horrible service, ordered over the phone supposed to be ready by 3 and I got there 330 and still wasn't ready till 4. Didn't make my order till I got there. What a waist of time and didn't even apologize. The owner said "Aisa he hai" what do you mean. No sorry nothing. And food is not the same as it used to be. read more

I'm giving it 2 star because the homie was judging me based on trying to order a chicken burger for iftar... because I happen to be brown skinned as well.. He proceeded to be like.. oh you're burger family. You don't eat other desi food? Ended up buying a chicken kabob thanks to him constantly pressuring me to buy that instead of a damn burger. Don't do that. Learn to speak to your customers homie. Get your head outta your ass. This isn't back home. Kabob wasn't bad though. Never coming back lol. And yes, I am familiar with the area but you didn't have to push like that. I was just letting you talk cause you were fasting. read more

Great good!! Prices are very reasonable. Like the atmosphere. All wooden ambience. read more

Horrible horrible horrible service filthy restaurant, tables are never cleaned they constantly run out of things that come with your order and then act like it's such a hassle to give you what you actully paid for or ordered plus on top of all that the delays expect to wait an hour for someone to even place water on your table read more

Chatkhara Grill - They have two accounts so i posted the same review in both - Halal Near Me - Stafford, Texas

We as a family went to their brunch buffet. Overall the experience was not great, I would definitely not go there again. - Their chicken is not hand slaughtered, we should have asked earlier but forgot and found out after we paid for it. - Their website says the buffet is 9.99 but its actually 10.99 - Their credit/debit card machine wasn't working so we had to go to an atm to get cash. - Their "American style breakfast" consisted of few mini pancakes and one omelette (no exaggeration) on the buffet table - Their "freshly squeezed orange juice" was a cantaloupe based drink - On a Sunday morning there were only two small families there eating. - Definitely not worth the money read more

This place is great! A hidden gem under the bridge by west park tollway and 6. Me and my friend came here kind of randomly, but we both love Indian food so we decided to try it out. We had the chicken kabobs, chicken briyani and the butter chicken. We also had the butter naan and they were nice enough to make us garlic naan, even though it wasn't even on their menu! Now that's what I call service. Everything was delicious and the portions were big and very reasonably priced, all under $10 each. The staff was very friendly and gave us advice on what to eat as well as checking on us regularly. All in all I had a great experience and would not hesitate coming back. The only "negative" thing I have to say (merely a detail) is that it was freezing in the restaurant (possibly because it was like 40 outside) so we had to keep our jackets on the whole time, but don't let that stop you from trying this place out, bring a sweater if you have to, it'll be well worth it! read more

Ordered takeout and was extremely disappointed. The chaat came with one pani puri that was crumbled into tiny pieces in a to go container. The korma was so greasy that we couldn't even eat it and the kabobs were very salty. Would not recommend this restaurant. read more

It was my second time here. I had gone here the first time and got sheesh kebab for lunch. Had difficulty finding the place. After I paid I requested the lady to bring out my take out to the car since my back does not let me sit on a low surface. She gladly obliged. Today for lunch I called in a chicken biryani and a chicken sheesh kebab. When I got there I called and the lady brought the food out. This is the best customer service I have experienced. And the food adds to the total package. This place is inexpensive and good. read more

I was in Houston to attend an Indian style family wedding and did not get a chance to venture out much, but I was able to sneak in here on an off day. It was obviously the first time for me at this restaurant. They have a wonderful, wide spaced location, airy, with a great owner and a few lousy staff. The service is slow but the food is absolutely fabulous. I even got some kababs packed for myself on my way back to DC!....highly recommended I will VERY strongly recommend that you try their kababs, lahori choley and naan combo.! I hadnt eaten anything of this magnitude in a while, the taste still lingers in my mouth when I think about it. Perfectly grilled kababs, fresh pipping hot naan, and spicy choley for gravy with mango lassi to boot..what else....please tell me what else does a man need?? On my next visit to Houston, I will try and have a meal more than once here. read more

Delicious food and reasonably priced. Service is on the slower side though so I won't recommend going there when in a hurry. Just tried their weekend buffet and it is truly 5 star .. Traditional Pakistani brunch buffet with addition of omelette, pan cakes and fresh orange juice .. With the current price it's defiantly the best weekend buffet in town. read more

Had my daughter's Aqeeqa there, the guy is very very friendly & he helped me with getting on-demand meat for the event. Best price around town since I shopped around quite a lot before I made the decision for the event & venue, the owner Syed Aamir is very flexible with schedule & space. He had extra staff present for the event, everyone in the staff was friendly. DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED A+++++ (The food was really good too) Serves zabiha halal only, good parking space. Very nice outdoor seating available, pretty decent food. read more

I'm disappointed that catering orders for small groups (20 people) that are supposed to be ready at a particular time are late. Time is of the essence during Ramadan Iftaar. The order was not ready until 45 minutes after the quoted time. The order was placed several days in advance. The beef kabobs were dry however the chicken biryani was excellent. I would not recommend them for catering after this experience. read more

I ordered a chicken boti paratha roll but was given it in naan. My companion ordered a beef paratha roll which was also given in naan. The rolls were alright but I feel like they should have added a little more sauce cause it felt a bit dry. Came on a Sunday and restaurant was relatively empty, but took a while for a mere roll. Wasn't impressed. Will update my review next time I go read more

Their Lahori Cholay are the best in town!!!!! There catering services are really good also.

I come to this place regularly for Lahori Chole (spicy chick pea or garbanzo curry) and Chicken Kebabs (mild and juicy). You can compliment you curry with a paratha which is super delicious (don't count calories). The biryani and raita here are pretty decent too. Please ask for his spicy chutney with the kebabs! The food here is on point but the location/ambience needs more work, so I would give this place a 4! I would recommend Lahori Chole and chicken kebabs!! read more

I waited 2hrs for a to go order . People came and went these guys could have easily made my order in that time . Literally had to stand at the front desk all night . Very bad experience , no matter how the food is , when your trying to get food for your whole family , making everyone wait that long is not right . Two people literally running the whole restaurant from table to front desk to phone to making roti to preparing food , serving food , drinks , utensils . Everything at busy evening hours on Sunday . They did so much business in that time , easily pay another person 10 bucks an hour for those busy times so you don't make it painstaking for your customers . read more

I have been ordering food from here for more than 2 years.. and the food quality has been on the decline ever since.. the chicken biryani had very little amount of chicken in it.. qorma was below par as well.. we placed the order a month before and i kinda knew about the punctuality of this place hence called them in the morning that I'd be coming to pick up the food at 7pm.. but the guy refused to answer the call .. and after almost 15 calls.. he called me back .. anyways we went there to pick up the food.. the guy was the only person working apart from a mexican woman who probably was helping him.. and he was like i dont have any person working apart from me and bla bla bla.. as a customer I don't wanna hear all this crap about how understaffed you are.. if you took my order you have to fulfill your commitment.... my last time ordering food from here.. read more

My family and I recently moved to the area and were told to visit this restaurant for the best chicken tikka. My mouth was watering for it and I couldn't wait. When we arrived the parking lot looked full but the restaurant was empty. This was around 7:30 pm so it was a busy dinner time. We got menus and looked them over. My husband went to the counter to order and what do you know, they were out of chicken tikka. Sad face. We ordered chicken boti and goat karahi. We also ordered nuggets for the kids. The food took a really long time to get to us, probably more than 30 minutes. Our kids got impatient and we were starting to feel the same way. The food had really good flavor and we enjoyed it a lot. The prices are good. Hopefully the wait time is not always like this. We will try it again, maybe order to go next time. We are interested to try their weekend breakfast also. read more

By far one of the best kabab paratha rolls that I have ever eaten. Don't expect any kind of fabulous customer service, because you won't get any. And don't bother trying any of the snack foods like samosas, pakoras, patties, etc. because they sit around for a while and lose their crispiness which makes them pretty nasty, in my opinion. read more

Visited this place first time. Food was very good. Its authentic Pakistani food that tastes excellent. Only complain is the cleanliness. The whole time we were there, there was a fly around us! Also, their silverware was nasty with marks from old unwashed residue. Yikes! I suggest you go for all disposables. Also, the direction is super confusing to this place. Neither google map nor the Garmin GPS helped. Look for the Chase bank and go to tis parking lot. You will then see this restaurant. read more

Wow, I can not say enough about this place. This owner has won the heart of hundreds of people. We had him cater for a funeral, and over 400 people showed up. More people showed up last minute, and this gentlemen made extra arrangements for food- and stayed throughout the whole event to make sure we didn't run out. Ive lived in Houston for the last 20 years and have never received such exceptional service from a Pakistani restaurant before. Not the mention, the food was AMAZING. Everyone left and right had been asking us where we got our food made from. Seriously, now my go-to person for all huge events. Please please choose this restaurant for any of your events, his food is exceptional!!!!!! I've never seen food cooked in bulk be so tasty. Also the owner is the cherry on top, hard to find such a combo in North America these days. read more

This location is pretty awkward, you pass up the Chase bank and turn in the next section. The service is 4/5. The food came out a decent timing, the owner checked up on us often. One thing that kind of tick me off was when I asked if there was anything not too spicy and she was like "then you no eat here". It just sounded rude and uninviting. The food is 3/5. Not the best, maybe because I just not into Indian food. I had the chicken kahab, my little cousin had the chicken tender. They looked freshly made. Price is a 3/5, the menu said tha naan was $0.99, but she changed me $1, no biggie you know? She didn't tell us the price of the water either, ($1/bottle). Everything we touched were probably charged. Cleanliness? 2/5. OMFG, there was flies flying everywhere! We couldn't not shoo them away fast enough. Overall, I wouldn't come back, not my type of food. read more

Over charged my card then didn't even bother tell me about it until I realized a day later . Also no matter how early you call and place order these ass holes always make you wait at least an hour . Won't ever go there ever again . No respect for customers whatsoever . Worst management ever and rude as hell too . They need to learn to cater their customers in a professional manner before they end up loosing there business. GOTO ANOTHER RESTAURANT AND YOU WILL GET BETTER SERVICE. GUARANTEED !!! read more

Quiet place. Not many customers when you go there. Lots of people do take outs as that is a bit more ideal. They have really yummy chicken biriyani and kabobs! Reasonable prices for the amount of food. read more
