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.

You can really tell they put a lot of care into the food. My boyfriend and I stopped by around 1 PM, right before the lunch rush, and wow, we definitely beat the crowd! 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!

They had main root soda, I dont know what that is but I enjoyed my "Mexican soda"

The brisket was fall apart tender and had good flavor. The ribs had a nice rub, the jalapeño sausage was just the right heat.

I guess I'll give Dallas a break on this one and round up.

What made it worse was how expensive the meal was for what we received. I don't mind paying good money for good barbecue, but the quality has to match the price. Unfortunately, this time it didn't. I left feeling like I paid premium BBQ prices for a meal that was nowhere near premium quality.

I can only rate…read moremy order pick-up experience , where the female employee was friendly and helped me promptly. One thing to note is that some of the side dishes have different prices on online orders when you add them on to your entrees vs. adding them separately ($.99 + difference). **Average Dish Cost(s): Under $8. **Food: 3 Piece White Meat Meal ($9.28)-- I chose white meat ($.80) and extra biscuits ($1.89) which increased the price from $6.59. The chicken was extremely delicious. It tasted fresh despite my order being late in the day and the skin was crisp and seasoned so well that I ate all of it. Usually I'll peel the skin off and discard it, but not this time. The white meat was juicy and nothing pink was found. 10/10. Extra biscuits ($1.89)-- These biscuits were some of the best I've ever had. Their outward appearance didn't match how delicious they were. They were soft and had an essence of honey to them. Side Mashed Potatoes ($2.99)-- I admit I was hesitant to eat this because I expected more of a brown gravy, but these were amazing! Not too salty and they tasted fresh. **Seating: Looked to have regular table style seating that is closed off due to the virus issue. **Location: It's located next to a bunch of other establishments within a mini strip type of place. Google GPS lead me to a park that's a but away, so be careful. Lots of parking spaces.

If you ever feel like eating KFC, take a good long look at yourself in the mirror and remind…read moreyourself of this place first. KKC has some of the best halal fried chicken I've had in the US, especially in the DFW area. This is one of those comfort meals you crave at 9 PM on a Tuesday that can't be beat. The ambiance is that of your average hole in the wall chicken joint. Overall I rate this place 8 s/10. ------------ The Zinger burger (basically a spicy chicken sandwich) is my go to order from here, a solid 8.5/10. They always put a huge chicken patty in there and a generous amount of sauce. You really can't go wrong. Their chicken itself is an 8/10, upgraded to 8.5 with the garlic sauce. They really got the spices down right. I would not recommend the Mac and cheese (5/10), it's very watery and lacked any flavor. The potato wedges were great though. (Although I'm not sure how you could mess those up).

I had this place Yelp bookmarked and I had not seen the Toyota Music Factory complex before now, so we drove the mile over. The place was empty at 2pm on a beautiful Saturday - I imagine it is quite busy when anything is playing at the TM venue. We ordered the southern fried chicken sandwich combo (to split) with fries. ($18 including tax and tip) The southern sandwich comes with pimento cheese and I find that hard to resist on any menu! - Splitting the sandwich was plenty of food to not leave you too stuffed. Casey was working the register - and maybe he was helping in the kitchen too. Our sandwich came out pretty quickly and was super hot. It was very crispy and a bit sticky, not too hot, very tasty!! Quite large too - the chicken thigh extended out quite a bit from the bun. The fries were Crinkle shape (my fav!), nice and hot, not too salty. FYI, with a combo you have a choice of only fries or mac and cheese (though there are other side options available al la cart). There was a card on the table to register to win $100 gift cert, so we both registered. Casey came by after to ask us to register, when we said we already had - he said we were entitled to a free banana pudding for doing so. Then he bought out TWO banana puddings. WOOT!! I think the 2nd pudding will be better tomorrow when the vanilla wafers have time to absorb more into the pudding. The free puddings got them the extra star. Casey was great - and really seemed to care that the few customers in the joint were happy and well taken care of. Bathrooms were clean. Couple suggestions: that they had ketchup as a "pump option" - rather than all individual packets. And boy oh boy I would have LOVED a DIET dr. pepper on tap (they had regular).

This place is renovated, may be more like rearranged inside but still feels very uninviting. It is, otherwise, also called Zabiha Hut. One of the spiciest Biryani I've eaten but in a good way. The only problem: the mutton was so chewy it was almost hard to eat....Terrible. When I told the owner about it, he said some people don't like overcooked; it's a freaking Biryani, it is suppose to be cooked well, if genuine mixed with rice and baked well so to get the meat of the bone easily if not falling on its own. The prices are inexpensive and portions big. Don't expect any kind of service from this place but is a decent option for take-out. read more

When I brought to the waiter, she said she would take the feedback to the kitchen and that they added the water to make the spicy goat curry that I ordered "not spicy".

I initially loved this place because of the quality. The Goat Curry was superb, the meat was incredibly tender and the curry itself was so rich and flavorful. It paired perfectly with the fresh Naan and Roti. I also really enjoyed the Mixed Pakora to start, and finishing the meal with their Chai and Gulab Jamun was the perfect ending. Beyond the food, the staff was incredibly attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout the night. It was a huge space and i loved the booth seating for my friend and I.
