    Yum yum, gimme some!
    Nicole L.

    Drove past this place one day and it looked so secluded and like a hole in the wall so I wanted to check it out. Immediately upon walking in we were greeted and asked how we prefer our spice level. When I said No heat or very mild, he started to suggest certain dishes. Needless to say, as someone who doesn't enjoy spicy foods, I got nervous! The owner/server (?) was so helpful in discussing how they could adjust the heat level to my taste. I ordered the beef chapli knowing that it would have a kick, but I just really wanted to try it. Great flavor but definitely utilized the delicious yogurt and fluffy naan to enjoy it more. Both beef and chicken kabab were so tender it was amazing. Even though they only had regular naan, it was probably some of the best I've had. The tikka masala had a little different flavor, but was very enjoyable. Definitely a hidden gem!

    Naan

    This was our first time eating at this restaurant Food was DELICIOUS!! We ordered butter chicken and chicken Briyanni The manager Ali was very nice and made us feel very comfortable and welcomed This place is only 12 mins from our home and worth the small drive for excellent food and customer service We will definitely be back!! Thank you Khan BBQ

    Chicken Tikka Masala

    If you like spicy food this is the place for you. My prefer spice level is mild, not much more than that lol The food was super flavorful and it hit the spice craving of the day. The beef chapli kebab had more of a kick than I would like but eating that with the Nan and yogurt toned it down. The chicken tikka masala was great and the nan was super fresh. The host was very friendly and explained the menu since we knew a lot of it would be spicy. Overall the food was really good and topped it all off with the mango lassi, I could drink 5 gallons of it. Delicious! ... It's more of a take out place but you can still dine in if you don't care about the ambiance.

    Butter chicken, tikka masala, and Nihari

    Loved this place! I was craving some Indian food, but I wanted a place near cypress, and this place did not disappoint. First, service was great! The owner was very welcoming and friendly. I ordered takeout, but inside the restaurant is nothing fancy, just simple booth seats. I got tikka masala, butter chicken, Nihari, and Chicken Biryani! Butter chicken and masala were normal, but the nihari and chicken biryani were too class! Definitely recommend! And the prices are very affordable!

    2nd trip for Indian/Pakistani food. The food was just as good as the 1st time nine months ago. We would have gone sooner, but travel and school got in the way. My daughter ordered paneer masala, and my wife and I added beef chapli kebab, chicken biryani, four naan, and two rice puddings. We ordered by phone and went to pick it up. Everything was ready 1/2 hour after our call and piping hot after we got back home and delicious. This time I made sure to get photos before we dug in. If you like Indian/Pakistani food locally and family business, this is the place to get authentic, homemade style, full of flavor food.

    My family orders from Khan's almost a monthly basis - a large order - and they always have the food ready on time and it's still piping hot when you arrive home. We're talking: half trays of haleem, chicken karahi, chicken biryani, saag paneer, naan, and paratha usually round out the order... it can feed 15-20+ people. The order is correct, too! Food is on the spicy side, even for my family; you can ask if they can make it less spicy, but it's oftentimes still hot for some members of the fam. The family that owns and runs this restaurant are really good people and provide great service. They'll help you load up your car. And they seem to know a lot of their customers. Right now, due to the pandemic, this restaurant is offering takeout only. It's best to call in your order ahead of time.

    Chicken Pulao and Goat Karahi.

    My husband and I tried this place for the first time. We had the Goat Karahi and Chicken Pulao. The portions are incredible. The employees were very friendly and chatted with us as we waited on our food. We felt very welcome here. The naan is spectacular. Food amazing. Highly recommend; we will definitely be back soon!!!

    Khan BBQ and grill is located right down the street from me and they are a good fix for dinner if I have nothing cooked in the house. One of their specialty that they are known for is the Chapli Kabob. I usually order this item as it cannot be replicated for home cooking. It is a nice portion of ground beef mixed with specific spices and seasoning and the end result is a nice flattened patty bursting with flavor and chopped up onions with lemon. Another item that I got which is also very popular is the chicken biryani. While it is spicy, they do have enough meat in the dish making it a fair meat to rice ratio. The serving is a pretty good size also. They also serve yogurt with rice and that can help reduce the flaming tingling from the spices. Hands-down, they have the best naan in the city. Always order one. It is so delicious, warm and tender. I did notice that they require a $10 purchase for using a credit card and that if paying by cash, then there is a sales tax discount.

    Read reviews n went to try out their food. I was there as soon as they opened for the day. Ordered nihari, kadhai gosht, beef Haleem, naam, Lassi n chai. My entire order was on the table within 15 minutes, including the to go to order. Everything was perfect to the "T" - the good as well as their customer service. Definitely coming here whenever I visit Houston again.

    Spicy chicken rice!
    Erica G.

    I found this little gem a while back and have been wanting to try it out after seeing all of the positive reviews. This place is literally right down the street and around the corner and I have never been here! If you want to go to a fancy Indian restaurant this is not your place. They give you paper plates and plastic forks when you dine in. HOWEVER.. While it may not be the fanciest... The food that is served is spot on! (with affordable prices) **One of the 1st things I noticed-people ordering take out here.(Good sign) Right when you walk in you can smell all of the different fresh Indian spices coming from the kitchen. One of the managers served us a free mango smoothie while we waited for our food to come out fresh.. super tasty and everyone was very nice. I ordered the chicken tikka masala and my dad ordered the curry with goat. We also ordered a side of their chicken rice.. SPICY! Since my mom doesn't deal well with spicy she ordered the chicken kabob plate. Chicken tikka Masala had an amazing flavor. Although I noticed how greasy the plate was from the masala sauce.. You can't take away how the flavors were intense and spicy! My dad LOVED his dish. Unfortunately my mom thought the chicken kabob was super dry.. I tasted the chicken and it wasn't the best chicken. Overall I would definitely come back to pick up a plate food on the run! Very affordable! ***4 stars for flavor, price and customer service!!

    Seriously the best BBQ I've ever had…read more We arrived on a Thursday at 7pm and it was really busy. There was a line and almost every table was taken. This is cafeteria style with you ordering and your order is sliced and plated right in front of you. We went around the corner to the bar area and sat inside. That was really nice since the main restaurant was packed. We got 2 of the 2 meat and 2 side plates. I got the turkey and jalapeño cheddar sausage with Mac n cheese and potato salad. Everything was delicious. The turkey was so moist and tender. The sausage was Smokey and spicy. The Mac n cheese was super cheesy and the potato salad had a lot of flavor. The BBQ sauce provided was too spicy for me, but that didn't matter. My husband got the brisket and pulled pork with green beans and the elote. The brisket was super tender and flavorful. The pulled pork was Smokey and tender. The elote was really good. I didn't care for the green beans, but my husband liked them. Really enjoyed this spot.

My experience here is why I tend to not frequent BBQ places, I hate being disappointed. The barbecue sauce (the signature and regular) were not good at all. Neither tasted like BBQ sauce. One tasted like tomato sauce with seasoning and the other tasted like a vinegary Tabasco sauce. The brisket was okay, nothing super impressive but no complaints. The queso might have been the most egregious issue (after the BBQ sauce) imagine paying $11 for tasteless, unimpressive, liquid cheese. Nothing in it but cheese and prayers. Adding the brisket (1/4lb for ~$9) along with a variety of other seasonings, made it okay. Ironically, reheating it after a few hours made it actually taste a bit better (enough to justify the price? Absolutely not). The mac and cheese was equally tasteless. One thing I think the Pit Room does EXCEPTIONALLY well is making pickles! These were delicious, seriously I'd go back just for the pickles (only the pickles).

They had run out of beef ribs, so we ended up getting the pork chop instead, and it was really good! The mac and cheese with bacon was rich, cheesy, and delicious.

Best bbq ever…read more From juicy brisket, pork, turkey and ribs, to sausages with glistening chunks of fresh jalapeño and creamy cheddar cheese. The meat is for real. But. The sides. Oh my goodness-that is far and away the best potato salad I've ever even been in the vicinity of-much less able to pound a spoon into over and over. The tator tot casserole is like a hug from the sweetest granny in the land, and the corn pudding and Mac and cheese are pure fire too. Have to say, not much of a fan of tipping for counter service-but this place DESERVES it. Once you sit down with your fabulous feast-there are the kindest servers bringing you everything you could possibly need-from to-go boxes to drinks to desserts and they are SOOO happy you're in their restaurant-had to pull out some extra cash (I did tip at the cash register) because these dudes deserved more for their genuine hospitality and friendliness. Bar looks legit but it was only 11 so I decided next time I'll do better and grab a drink with dinner. Yes the queue was long at opening but moved quickly and obviously was well worth it. Michelin, Texas Monthly and more are all totally right to make this a must eat destination for HTX

    Hands down, the best BBQ I've had in Houston so far…read more Brisket is brisket- you either dry it out or you absolutely nail it. They nailed it. Perfectly juicy, tender, and packed with smoky flavor. But what really puts this place over the top is the tater tot casserole. Great sides can make the meal, and this one absolutely does. It's ridiculously good... like I'd happily eat an entire bowl of just the casserole. We ordered the brisket, pork ribs, beef rib, both sausages, and, of course, a whole lot of tater tot casserole. While you're waiting in line, they hand out samples of the brisket so you can decide whether you want lean or fatty. Fatty all day for me. The beef rib was massive and had an incredible smoky flavor, but low-key, I think the sausages ended up being my favorite meat of the day. They were juicy, flavorful, and didn't get overshadowed by everything else. We got there around 11:00 a.m. on a Saturday and waited about an hour in line. It sounds long, but they make it easy with water and drinks available for purchase while you wait. The staff was friendly the entire time- from the people managing the line to the servers and the bussers making rounds through the dining room. Whatever you do... don't skip the tater tot casserole

The sausage had a nice snap to it and get great flavor. The bark on the beef rib was *chef's kiss*. The mac and cheese was creamy while the beans had a nice sweet and tangy flavor.

Yep, they open at 11am and yep there was already a line. I was shortly approached by an employee who handed me a paper menu and asked if I would like to purchase a drink while I wait in line.

The inside of the restaurant is not large but also not small, its first come first serve so get in where you fit in or opt to sit outside.

The potato salad was a pleasant surprise! It is not your traditional potato salad, but If you enjoy anything dill flavored, you'd love it! The brisket was moist and flavorful, melt in your mouth good!!! The other sides were just okay, not bad but nothing stood out. The cobbler was a bit too sweet and it did not seem as though the ingredients were mixed very well. It was like they dumped sugar on top and baked it without mixing it. Pulled pork sandwich was meaty and flavorful. Pretty good BBQ Experience!!!

When we got our order to the room we were missing one side that we ordered. We got Mac n cheese, green beans and potato salad with a brisket/smoked chicken combo and a brisket/ribs. I was shocked to see two pieces of brisket and a chicken breast for $28. Maybe it was an off night but the quality just wasn't there. All the food was cold (our fault bc we ordered it for delivery) and was lacking flavor.

After doing my research and seeing food bloggers post online about this place, I decided to try it! We went on a Saturday afternoon at 2 pm - packed! There were no tables available inside and there were people inside and outside waiting for their orders. That's something to be ready for if you come on a Saturday. Our order didn't actually take that long. Or maybe it took a little while and we didn't mind waiting. Either way, it wasn't that bad! Luckily it's located in a shopping area so there's always parking. My main gripe is that they close at 7pm. I'm sure there's a good reason for that but I've wanted to try it multiple times before but they've been closed! I ended up going with the infamous brisket and fried rice. The brisket was super tender - I was able to pull it apart with my fork. I typically shy away from brisket because usually it's tough. But this was delicious - tender and had a nice smoky flavor. Not overwhelming or too salty. The rice had a great flavor too. There were chunks of meat in that as well and the rice had a nice smoky flavor. Not too salty or greasy. It also came with some accoutrements - pickled onions, fresh pickled cucumbers, jalapeños, bbq sauce and bread. The cucumbers and onions stole the show - very fresh and refreshing. We were surprised at the pickled onions - they were soo good! Overall - worth the hype! I'll definitely be back to try ribs, chicken or pulled pork sandwich. I heard everything is good here!!

You can tell they are a neighborhood favorite, so many people came in after us to pick up and dine in! Only thing to "improve" is it was a little warm in the restaurant. Not sure if the ac was struggling bc of this Texas heat or what but other than that, food was excellent and we definitely will be back. Highly recommend!

    Killen's never disappoints…read more Their beef ribs were just short of amazing. Juicy, succulent, tender. For a giant piece of meat on the bone, they worked wonders. You can ask to see the piece of rib before they cut it for you and they will happily oblige (patrons behind you might not be so thrilled with that move, but they'll live). Sides were excellent as were the mashed potatoes with white gravy on the side, green beans that were just tender enough, but also a bit crunchy. Perfect. They were seasoned with pork, so if that's not your thing, you might want to skip it. We also ordered their shareable onion rings, easily enough for three people that were huge, hot, and crispy. Let's get this out of the way, some of their prices are a little up there, but if you're anything like me, and don't frequent BBQ places often, it's a rare but enjoyable treat. Sometimes you have to splurge and live a little. Also, they have their regular sauce on tables, but you now have to ask the cashier for their sublime coffee BBQ sauce. Don't be shy, ask. It's worth it. Oh, pro tip: If you want beef ribs, the 'plate' is actually cheaper and a better deal than 'by the pound', so save a little money and get two sides.

    This establishment was recommended to me by an avid BBQ connoisseur + they have a Michelin star. We…read morewaited in line for about 30 minutes before getting to the counter to put in our order. The restaurant is cute and they do their best to keep the service consistent throughout the entire visit. The BBQ was a little dry but good. The disappointing part of the trip were the sides. 95% of the sides had pork in them which made the entire wait not worth it. This was my first time visiting and it will be my last.

Visiting from out of town and decided to give this place a try. I was greeted as soon as I walked in the door. I was not sure what I wanted to try, so Sam, the owner, gave me a sampling of everything; brisket sandwich, spare rib, potato, salad, coleslaw, beans, macaroni and cheese, jambalaya rice, and french fries. Everything tasted better than expected, especially the french fries, as few BBQ restaurants are able to get these just right. I will definitely return tomorrow to try something new. Definitely ordering the macaroni and cheese and potato salad again. Special thanks to Sam, the owner, who definitely took care of me. He knew I was from out of town, but treated me like a long time customer, which I greatly appreciate. Give this place a try... You will not be disappointed!

    Really good bbq! I ordered the baked potato with brisket and ribs. That's enough food for two…read morepeople, but I was craving a baked potato while not wanting to miss out on the bbq. The ribs were nice not dripping with fat, but not dry either. The brisket was moist and very tender. The potato was super loaded with cheese, butter, sour cream, bacon bits and sprinkled chives. This place is next to a gas station, but not attached to the station shop. The restaurant is very clean, and everything looks brand new and spotless.

    Houston has no shortage of barbecue, but this place understands that great barbecue doesn't have to…read morecome with a two hour line or a tray piled a foot high. The counter service keeps things moving while the food speaks for itself. The brisket was exactly what you'd hope for: a pronounced bark, a rendered fat cap, and slices that held together until they were pulled apart. The surprise for me was the brisket taco. Instead of feeling like a gimmick, it showcased the meat in a different way, balancing smoke, richness, and fresh toppings without masking the brisket. Good barbecue restaurants know their sides matter just as much as the meat. The mac and cheese was creamy, the sausage had a satisfying snap, and the house barbecue sauce complemented rather than covered the smoke. If you're visiting Houston, this is the kind of place that reminds you why Texas barbecue has earned its reputation. Efficient counter service, excellent brisket, and enough menu variety to keep you coming back.

Also ordered turkey sandwich and 2 tacos , one beef and one pulled pork. My favorite thing was the fixings bar. I seriously felt fomo when I saw the food being made. The portions seem small to me. We enjoyed the food though. I did not like the pulled pork taco, maybe because it got soggy. I would like to try some other items and also their dessert.
