    Chicken Khiarchi BBQ Leg Quarters BBQ chicken thighs Beef and chicken kababs Chicken Tikka Chicken Mali Boti

    Bro... let me just say this is second time I have eaten food from here. It was catered to us twice and each time nothing has honestly ever fucking missed. Kabab? On point Leg Quarters and BQ Thighs? Delicious This curry that was bought? Fucking fantastic! The lamb? Straight Devine! If I could sing praises about this restaurant more? I would but honestly? Go and eat it? And see for yourself! We got to try this new Curry Chicken Karahi that's only avaliable for Ramadam and ooo! Get it before they stop selling it!

    A coworker brought in a few different chicken dishes. They were all really good. It was really flavorful.

    The food and service was amazing. We had a great time there. I thought the Pricing was a bit high but taste made up for it.

    Consistency trumps any reasonable amount of quality in my humble opinion, which is why it's really…read morehard to judge a restaurant for good when you've only been there twice. Well luckily I've been inside their shiny marble halls enough time to pass my final verdict. For one, it seems like staff turnover is a concern here, as I often see new staff up front who are unfamiliar with their own menu or promotions while the food gives me an idea of what's going in the back. Which is to say, nothing has ever been consistently good here and there's been many occasions of food that's poorly seasoned, undercooked or simply spoiled. I know they have the ability to do better but is it worth the suffering for the opportunity? My answer is NO. For the markedly above average cost and inconsistent leaning poor quality, this isn't the local institution I would personally advise you to support. (Just FYI: I have had their dinner then brunch buffet multiple times, dined in, taken out and separately ordered delivery through a 3rd party app. I really had high hopes!)

    This new Pakistani restaurant is a welcomed addition to growing East Plano food scene. Sandwiched…read morebetween Blue Fig market and Napoli's Italian, I was pretty eager to try them. I am familiar with Indian food so most of the names are recognizable, but the delicious differences are not to be missed! We ordered the lunch special which was $14.99 for 2 meats (one grilled and one in sauce), rice, a small salad of onions and lettuce, and dessert. I believe they specialize in grilled meats, cause the flavor was fantastic! The picture showed rice pudding for dessert but they came out with gulab jamen instead. I was disappointed at first but dang if that wasn't the best version of this I have ever had. I wanted a vegetable also so for the same price of $14.99 I got palak paneer and naan, which was a more earthy, less milky version as well. Naan was also best in class. I don't always love naan cause it can be rubbery. This was excellent. Soft and pillowy. It was so much food that we took it home and had a whole other meal. What a value for $14.99 each! The space is beautiful and though the clientele seems to be mostly Pakistani, they are welcoming to all. Service was a touch slow, but not painful. We still got in and out during our lunch break. I honestly think they just need more customers and so I want everyone to know that it was a new experience for me and I was super happy with the food. Welcome to the neighborhood Grand Tandoori!

    Ordered through their website. Arrived 15 minutes after the promised time. No patrons inside the…read morerestaurant. no other online orders ready. They do not have my order. I give them the order number. They can't find it. Then they find it with the confirmation number, and say it's $0 without any details on their side. The order was put in 30 minutes before the promised time and 10 minutes passed the time. And you do not call the customer to let them know there is an issue? This is basic customer service skills. I say I am hungry and would just like them to get started on the order and they can figure out the $ in the meanwhile. I even show her the transaction on my credit card. She's says it's "pending transaction" Every transaction is pending the first 2-3 days. She was about to charge me again and I tell her I do not want to be double charged. She goes in the back and figures it out. Does not apologize for the inconvenience. Does not try to make it right for us. Will not be eating here again. I am not surprised this place is empty on multiple occasions I have come. For the business owner, take this as feedback. Food is hit and miss

One took 50 minutes and most recent took longer than an hour (we only ordered two dishes each time). While we like the combo plates, it's only meat. It screams for sauces, rice, maybe some veggies for relief from the meat-fest. Had items missing from orders. Calls to the restaurant about any concerns were basically sidestepped and we felt disregarded. Definitely out of the rotation for any future considerations.

    After a major renovation and locking down some more consistent staff, this former pool hall +…read morerestaurant concept leaned fully into their more successful sit down arrangement and cleaned up enough to bring in plenty of families plus consistent banquet hall reservations. The only thing holding them back has been consistency. Service has been fine overall, with staff coordinating with each other and making sure things are brought out correctly. An occasional reminder, especially for utensils, water, etc is needed but if you don't like being hovered over, you'll be happy here. As for the food, this is where I find things to fall short of ideal. Their American items are typically quite good with a short wait, but their South Asian/Fusion items can certainly be a hit or miss from night to night. When you're paying almost $20 per plate with add-ons of rice or naan, or possibly even more, you want to be sure the quality stays high. Furthermore, I've noticed that portions have gone down overall which is disappointing in terms of value. From their start to now, it's definitely been an improvement, but it's sad to see certain factors let them down from being one of the best spots around. They are still worth trying though, and their late hours make this a place I would personally recommend trying!

We went around 3pm right before they stop serving halwa puri. Around that time the restaurant was pretty empty. They do have function halls next door that is always booked so it might get loud because of the music. Overall good place to take families who are from out of town.
