But what if I don't feel like the Mela like atmosphere at Agas? Or what if I'm tired of heavy masala? I've got two legit options in Sugar Land - DDK and Lasbela. I've only tried them once, but the food was very very good. So was the service. And the ambiance was great, I would be proud to bring my bank clients to this restaurant as it showcases Pakistani culture (not in a tacky way). With Labela, it doesn't feel like you're going to another Pakistani restaurant- it feels like you're going to specifically eat lasbela. They are solidly in my top 3 Pakistani restaurants in Houston. Ehh top 4 let's throw Bundoo khan in there even if it is fake.

This location has a banquet hall as well as a large restaurant that looked like it had seating for over 200 people. I went with their goat chops, beef bihari boti, goat shinwari karahi and naan. Goat chops ($27 - 5 pieces) - This is their most famous dish, and was the best Pakistani BBQ spiced item I have ever tried! The goat chops were so tender, juicy and had such flavorful spices. I can't stop thinking about these! Beef bihari boti ($13 - 6 pieces) - This was another impressive dish, consisting of 6 tenderized boneless pieces of beef prepared in some bold spices which utilized papaya and yogurt. Goat shinwari karahi ($21) - While the karahi was good and flavorful, I don't feel this particular karahi was as bold and strong as regular karahis I have had elsewhere. This restaurant offers several types of karahi, and I should have gone with the standard karahi, but this was still good. Naan ($2) - This was extremely reasonably priced and the naan was pillowy soft. Overall I was impressed with the service here and the food. Aga's definitely lived up to the hype and I'm glad I got to try this Pakistani HALAL restaurant. This is a must visit for anyone visiting Houston!

They are a bit spicy, which doesn't bother me but they are too spicy for my daughter that eats nothing spicy. The Butter Chicken is delicious and not spicy at all, and their Garlic Naan is the ideal companion for scooping up every last bit of curry. The Service: Despite how busy they stay, the staff is remarkably efficient and attentive, ensuring that your water is filled and your courses arrive hot. The Vibe: It's a great spot for large groups or a nice dinner out. It feels upscale yet remains deeply rooted in traditional hospitality. OVERALL - The food was absolutely delicious. Whether you are a longtime fan of Indo-Pak cuisine or trying it for the first time, Aga's sets a very high bar. It's the kind of meal you'll find yourself craving again the very next day. Depending on what time you go you will have to wait more than just a few minutes. We went on Sunday afternoon and had a half an hour wait, but was worth the wait.

(#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 ambience is very cultural, colorful and peaceful. Quick service and comfortable seating. Our waitress was also kind enough to explain the different dishes and sauce bases.

We had the family garlic naan I forgot which karahi but the chicken breast with a cream based sauce, mango lassi, chole (chickpeas), lahori fish. It took me this long to go because I kept looking at their prices and couldn't justify, but don't be like me and let it scare you away. The portions are definitely more than enough for 2. They are not stingy with their portion size. Looks like their weekday lunch prices are pretty decent so I'm going to have to go back for that for sure. Pretty much everything we had was great. I will say next time I want to try a more traditional tomato based Karahi. Family size Naan was $10 it's probably like 3 regular naan super fluffy not dense so it's easy to eat. Chole was perfect great flavor all around chickpeas were soft. Mango lassi was good but I think it was too heavy for me so I may pass on it next time and leave more room for food. Not sure what kind of fish they use for the lahori fish but the flavors were great, I feel like it should come with fries and I wish it was another type of fish but otherwise on point. The Karahi was chicken breast, really good flavor if you are introducing someone to Pakistani food,it's cream based so it's milder but still has great flavor. My bill was around $87 and I definitely had leftovers. I suggest not going alone if you are getting off the regular menu and not weekday lunch.

We also tried the Bihari paratha roll. The chicken was SO tender and complimented the crisp paratha. We were checked on numerous times by the staff. The restaurant is spotless (including the bathrooms). The food came out fresh and didn't take long at all. The plates were even warmed which helped keep the food warm. I would come back everyday.

They were having some trouble in the kitchen with the grills so the owner sent out daal and roti for everyone to accommodate for the wait time (the wait time wasn't even that long)!
