When in Texas...have to get some bbq. Sabar BBQ is where dreams come true, Pakistani and BBQ...the best of both worlds. Daal (and chawaal)- the best daal I have ever had. The crunchy onions that retain structure was absolutely divine. I could eat this everyday. Brisket - we didn't get a fatty piece which I liked because it allowed me to not get full easily Sichuan Lamb Ribs - softest lamb I have ever had (that wasn't in a curry) and the rub on it was not only the perfect amount but a perfect blend Tandoori Turkey - this was really moist and not spicy, great choice for those who do not like red meat Seekh Kabob Sausage - the casing was well done and the flavor profile wasn't overpowering, sometimes desi spices can overtake the meat and that was not the case here (no pun intended) Kochumber salad - well seasoned and I am so glad it is on the menu because you need a fresh element to palate cleanse and cut through bbq fat They open at 11am and the line started forming 10:30am, it moves at a good pace. We were also instructed with what's on the menu and the parking situation which I thought was professional and well organized. We found some seating in the area next to the truck. read more

"Sabar BBQ: Where the lamb ribs made me want to high five a stranger." TL;DR: Get there early, order the Sichuan Lamb Ribs, let Zain carve you a plate of happiness, and prepare to have your taste buds do a Texas two-step with Pakistani spices. Worth every minute of the wait. This one's climbing my top 50 list faster than a brisket disappears at a family reunion. After one failed mission to Sabar BBQ, where I showed up too late and found an empty pit (and an emptier stomach), I came back like a man on a barbecue pilgrimage. The sun was blazing, the line was growing, and I wasn't about to be left holding nothing but a napkin this time. Pitmaster Zain Shafi runs this blue trailer like a flavor command center. The smell hit me halfway through the line and had me grinning like a kid at the state fair. I made my move when it was my turn, and if you know me, you know lamb is my kryptonite. I ordered the Sichuan Lamb Ribs, then couldn't stop myself from adding brisket and Tandoori Turkey. The sides? Kachumber Salad and Daal Chawaal, because even Uncle Sean needs balance in life. Zain loaded everything up, tossed it all on top of some naan for good measure, and sent me to my table like a champion headed to the winner's circle. The first bite of lamb ribs nearly had me proposing to the pit. Spicy, tender, smoky perfection with a bark that made my heart sing. The brisket was rich and juicy, the turkey came with that tandoori kick that slapped me awake in the best way possible. The sauces just tied the whole thing together like a big barbecue hug. The yogurt mint cilantro sauce was made to cool and lift the brisket and turkey to a whole new level. The red sauce packed a punch and paired with the lamb like it was born for the job. I boxed up some leftovers for my wife, the Side Dish Queen herself, because a man who doesn't bring home naan from Sabar BBQ is a man sleeping on the couch. She confirmed what I already knew: this was next-level barbecue, the kind that earns legends and long lines. Sabar BBQ is only open on weekends, and only fools show up late. I won't make that mistake again. This was stop number 15 on my Texas Monthly Top 50 journey, leaving me with 35 more glorious BBQ pilgrimages ahead before the passport is full and my belt officially waves the white flag. If loving these lamb ribs is wrong, I don't wanna be rib-right. read more

Fantastic food, service and location. Easy to park, so many nice food trucks (especially this one), fun events every month, and the people are lovely! Will be back here, especially for that mango lassi this summer. There is often live music on the nearby stage and plenty of benches and tables to sit and enjoy your meal. Our faves were the lamb rib (so rich!), brisket, and kachumbar. Honorable mentions are the bbq sauce, turkey (which we had last time and was amazing but is not pictured here) and daal - so cool to be able to have this kind of access to nostalgic and sentimental flavors I grew up eating but with a Texan twist. Thanks for representing the community with such delicious food! read more

Went looking for this food truck after someone told me about it..., well worth the time! Was able to try a variety of items on the menu. The Burnt End Nihari bowl was quite surprising. Just the right hint of Nihari flavors came through. The meat was perfectly tender. The Sichuan lamb chops were perfectly done and the meat simply fell off the bone. I'm not a fan of turkey but the sample taste I was offered was wonderful. Not dry and very flavorful. The sides - Daal and fruit chat didn't disappoint either. Ambience - typical food truck park with a band playing in the lot and lots of folks milling about. Will make the trek to Ft Worth again soon Will definitely make read more

Great food with outstanding quality of food. i wish they were open Monday through Sunday. read more

They open 4 hours on 2 days and ran out of food in 3 hours. To me its not good food but short sightedness that created that problem. Drove 45 minutes to be told they have NOTHING!!!I could understand you sold out an item but NOTHING available!!! Wow. I believe he is the owner - said we usually run out in 2 hours - then please update operating hours in google etc to reflect that!! read more

Yep, found this place by Texas Monthly 2025. So much worth it. Got there about 10ish 3rd in line. They are friendly outgoing, more so than so many other places you could go. Brisket some of the most flavorful and well smoked, falling apart tender. Lamb ribs, highly recommend to anyone. You would be hard pressed to ever think your eating anything other than beef. Turkey, well holy smoke Batman, it is just wonderfully done, tender and moist. Finally the sausage, It's moist, flavorful a nice change from jalapeno/cheddar. I have found some have put a twist onto Texas BBQ with their heritage that one has to appreciate. Yogurt mint sauce did not try my wife liked it but a bit runny. The red sauce, put some of that on the brisket wrapped in a naan, WONDERFUL. Atmosphere, it's a food truck your sitting outside, hence 4 stars on a Texas day. read more

Went to visit on a Sunday around noon. Wasn't sure if they would be open, but I spotted the blue trailer in the food park area and I'm glad I stopped and gave it a try. The staff was really friendly and even gave me a slice of brisket to try while taking my order. The brisket was moist and flavorful, but I had already decided on the nihari. I'm not an expert on Pakistani food, but I thought the nihari and daal flavors were great and it's just nice to have an option without traveling to the other side of the metroplex. The meal was served with naan and some pickled onions and yogurt sauce. I didn't ask if the meat was halal so not sure on that. I would definitely go back to try some of the other options. read more

Exceptional. Brisket can go toe to toe with anyone... add the naan + raita sauce and it's one of the best bites of BBQ in the state. Lamb ribs are also special. Fantastic (and refreshing!) sides. A lot gets made of a certain Top 50 / Top 10 list. The reality is that BBQ in Texas is so good and so diverse right now that 20-25 joints could conceivably have an argument for "the best" on any given day. Sabar absolutely belongs in that conversation. Zain and team deserve all the success in the world. read more

Wow! Amazing food, great people. I went after closing and one of the workers was nice enough to give a plate of their new menu item. The meat was soooo tender and juicy. Naan and their sauces were on point. Amazing people, highly recommend! A true gem in Fort Worth! read more

Bbq was so good! Great flavors from so many unusual spices, could not get enough of the ribs. Will need to bring my family next time in Fort Worth . The side options were just as delicious!!! read more

Was exploring Southside for the first time and noticed a food truck with a Pakistani flag - couldn't resist checking it out. Extremely glad I did. They're only open once a week for a short amount of time, so it's well advised to get there early. Certain items seem to disappear fast, so it may be a slight roll of the dice for what you're able to get - but it's all the more reason to come back and try new things. Split a 2 meat plate with my fellow - lamb ribs and brisket. I honestly have always hated lamb - have tried it many times at many places (and always disappointed) - but the lamb ribs here were actually great. Can finally say that I like lamb for the first time. Bark on the brisket was delicious and the portion was a good mix of a slice of lean & moist. The sauces went well with the meats; gave me an idea for using chili crisp in a few of my own sauce recipes. Definitely planning on coming back soon to attempt to try the burnt ends nihari. read more

A very hole in the wall type feel! The owner Zain was very enthusiastic,friendly, and incredibly nice shared his knowledge about meat smoking and explained his menu in full detail. The brisket is an absolute must!!! The way it just melts in your mouth with how juicy and tender it was. You can tell that there was time, effort, and care put into this delicious piece of meat. The location is nice you can get a nice plate of mouthwatering smoky tender selection of bbq and enjoy it outdoors on a nice day with clean benches and tables to enjoy! Will definitely be coming back for another amazing experience!! read more

The brisket, lamb ribs and sausage were amazing. Not only are they the best halal bbq available, but I'd say they should be in the same conversation as Terry Black's, Hutchins and Goldee's. read more

This is some of the best and most interesting Q anywhere. The brisket was cooked perfectly, the lamb ribs are a great twist and the sausage is unlike anything else. All of the sides are unique and complementary. The spice mix marries with the smoke in ways that make the flavors more complex than traditional Texas rubs. Try this with great red wine. Wine and BBQ go together! read more

Absolutely wonderful! We had: fruit chast kachumber brisket sausage turkey gajrela We will come back!! Thank you all! :) Brian & Clare read more

I've never been a bbq fan but this was really good food. Would definitely come back when I'm in the area!

Today we stumbled upon Sabar BBQ in ft worth. It is a small food truck serving bbq with pakistani fusion. We got there at 10:50 and there was already a line, which was promising. We were in line for about thirty minutes before we got to the front. They gave us a brisket sample, and I knew we were in for a treat. Just the sample of brisket was melting in my mouth and was absolutely delightful. The team took time to explain the sauces and sides to us. We ordered 2, 2 meat and side plates. We got brisket and turkey on each. For the sides we got fruit chatt and the cucumber salad. The brisket was so good. The turkey had tandoori seasoning and was also incredible. The sides were so good as well. I thoroughly enjoyed everything I ate. In addition to this, each plate came with naan. I enjoyed all of it and the weather was perfect today, making for the perfect ambiance! read more
