It comes with an assortment of kebabs: behari, malai boti, seekh and beef kebab, on a bed of rice and a naan. It's really filling and delicious. I've also tried their haleem, chapli kebab and nihari. All items were authentic and delicious. This has become my favorite spot for Indian/Pakistani food.

The lady at the counter helped guide me through the menu. I went with their popular chicken burger since I didn't plan to order too much, and it was exceptionally good, and also larger than expected. I originally came to see if they had Kashmiri tea, but I tried their house chai instead, and it's the best I've had in the city. I definitely plan on returning to try more of their menu. Overall, great food, great service, and comfortable seating. Five stars.

I have been to this place several times. I am giving it 4 star review based on the food. This is…read moreactually Pakistani food versus Indian food. Pakistani food tends to more meat based and less vegetable options. We came here on a Sunday. They has quite a few To Go customers because they have a special on Sunday for breakfast. We got there at 12:30 and our waitress was very sweet. However, she was overwhelmed. There was another table that left due to the long wait. But, when we got the food, it was delicious. The vege samosas were very tasty and quite a bit of spice. We also got The Dera Grill Sampler which had chicken, beef, abs goat chops. The Chicken Tikka Masala was also very tasty. The Naan was light and fluffy. The Chicken Biryani was very tasty as well. This place has good food. But it has issues that every whole in the wall does. Sometimes, it is a little understaffed and the wait can be a little long. I think Pakistan/Indian restaurants are trying to survive in the post Covid era. They used to make most of their business with the buffet. But they are adapting to take out orders and limited staff for in person dining. If you are patient with the above issues, the food is worth it. We will definitely come back.

Ordered biryani, haleem and naan. Biryani came out in a huge portion , i was surprised. Haleem came in a normal style serving tray. Naan was ok cut in 4 pieces. The biryani had a good look but taste wasnt there, rice was sort of kacha not done yet. Masala was good and chicken was cooked right. Haleem was ok, raishay were there but taste wasnt. Naan was ok too. I asked staff like does seekh kebab order have how many pieces they said 2 pieces. Prices were outrageous cuz 2 seekh kebabs for $18 or $19 is insane. Atleast halal

Recently visited Deccan Grill after hearing some good reviews…read more The place has a huge dining space and is completely self-serve, you pick up your own plates, spoons, water, etc. We ordered: * Hyderabadi Mutton Biryani - $18.99 * Hyderabadi Chicken Biryani - $14.99 * Chicken 65 - $12.99 The mutton biryani was good with well-cooked, tender pieces. The chicken biryani, however, was very light and lacked flavor, almost no masala at all. The Chicken 65 was okay, but the excess food coloring was a turn-off. Overall, it wasn't a very satisfying experience. Sharing some pictures from our visit.

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.

"Sabar BBQ: Where the lamb ribs made me want to high five a stranger."…read more 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.

Don't come expecting fancy décor or a curated ambiance. Come hungry. Every dish we tried was packed with flavor, perfectly spiced, and clearly made with care. The curries were rich and comforting, the meats tender and well-marinated, and the naan fresh and fluffy. You can taste the authenticity in every bite. Service was straightforward and kind, and the overall feel is casual and welcoming -- like you've stumbled upon a local secret. If you care more about incredible Pakistani/Indian food than aesthetics, this spot absolutely delivers. We'll definitely be back.

Bihari kabab (stale, had some hint of taste, cold) 2 orders. Yakhni pulao/Biryani. No one touched it. Chicken Biryani (stale cold tasteless). 4 naans. Old n cold. 4 teas. We were visiting for a conference and all day in our feet were hungry and just accepted whatever that was placed in front of us. No server, we had to ask whoever was passing by for water, napkins etc. Granted we Made to the restaurant an hr. before closing time but the naked aggression shown, two men/servers standing 5 feet from us staring for us to leave, once we stood up started picking chairs w aggression. They could told us they were closing and we could have gone somewhere else. Our bill was $120-150 This is totally unacceptable. The same if happened in other proper professional eateries, our experience is that the staff waits and either informs before serving closing time or if they decided to serve, let customer enjoy meal. I'm writing this next day at 3:20 PM just so I could be calm. As I write this, I find myself getting angry again. I do not know what Dallas ppl accept and deal with, anywhere else this would be a loud hell no. It's not me. All other four educated professionals agreed. We even tipped gud decent amount. PATHETIC & UNPROFESSIONAL & TASTELESS. What I found offensive, they served samosas and other dishes and naans cold without the decency of advising us or giving us a choice. Those servers standing aggressively...is not a look you want to present. Worst 1 hr spent.

I ordered the chicken wrap (totally thinking I was ordering the chicken kebob wrap, but that error is totally on me). The wrap had chicken thighs, a mildly spicy sauce, and french fries tucked inside. Not bad at all. Now I'm already planning to return for the kebobs. The real MVP moment? When I ordered to-go, the tipping screen popped up like it always does, but as said as I hit "to-go," the counter person deleted the tip screen and the total appeared. A business that understands I don't need to tip someone for handing me a bag? Woot. It's the little victories that make life sweet.
