Visited here from cali, and also a frequent pakistan traveler (3/4x a month) . This place was very fancy not the usual pakistani restaurant style. Staff was nice, place was clean. 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 read more

Another one of Chicago's famous Pakistani restaurants!!! Same amazing food, great classy feel, and a name you can trust! They had an overwhelming positive response to their grand opening buffet with over 1300+ people! All raving about their amazing delicious food!!! We went the day after where they offered a limited menu of their most famous dishes! You must order kebabs- hot and sizzling off the grill with thinly sliced caramelized onions and peppers paired with made from scratch chutneys. We also got the butter chicken that was tender and super creamy! The naan was buttered and warm and was perfect with the curry. We ended the meal with some hot chai- made just right! Service was on point and they had to-go orders flying off the shelves!! So excited for this restaurant to be in Dallas and looking forward to coming back again!! Food- ***** Ambiance- ***** Service- ***** read more

Went there at 8 PM on Saturday, 12/20/25. They were closed. No signs of life. No note, nothing. Just closed. Hours on Yelp and Google state 11 PM close time. Had to drive somewhere 20 min away for our dinner. Certain people think they're better than others and close when they want to. Respect yourself. Have pride in what you do. read more

Great place to have Nihari and best Haleem, Buffet during Ramadan was simply the best in town.

My in-laws came into town and so we took them for a big dinner with our friends, it was 14 if us. It was on a weekday so easy to get reservations. The food was delicious! Everyone enjoyed it. Our server was nice and paid of attention to each of our needs. I'm giving it 4 stars because as they are calling it "fine dining" and charging us for a fine dining experience, they can make the table, chairs, and overall decor much better. For example, take a look at the competitions like Mai Colachi or even BK Khan BBQ. read more

Usmania was one of our favorite places to go for kabob's and nihari when we lived in Chicago. I was so excited when I heart they were coming to DFW. We went to the iftar buffet and we were not disappointed. Food was plentiful! Most places run out of food after the first round during iftar and the wait is long for more food. They had more than enough food ready to go for all the customers. The dining area is small and our table was originally situated in an awkward spot that people kept hitting. The staff saw this and asked if we wanted to move, which we did. They quickly set up a table out of the way where we were able to enjoy our food. The customers are inconsiderate with adults and kids touching naan with their hands and putting them back on the buffet tray. They gave us fresh naan for our table from the kitchen after we told them what we say. All the meats were flavorful and well seasoned, nihari was delicious, the cha was nice and not watery. We had a wonderful experience and look forward to going back. Shout out to Shenbaz, Navya, and Syed for taking care of us. read more

Menu is small which is good. Not cluttered, we ordered chicken karhi and malai boti. The karahi is very basic, oily and nothing special and didn't even look like a full chicken. . Overall the menu is pricey and the taste is very ordinary find you a better Pakistani/Indian restaurant read more

Usmania Fine Dining - Karahi Chicken. Ate only 1/4 of it before I decided it was not worth the money. - Pakistani Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Just fantastic. Recommending this place to all of my friends. We had the butter chicken, malai chicken boti, and daal makhani. The depth of the seasoning was rich and complex. Definitely get the butter garlic naan. read more

A very warm welcome to this restaurant to the Dallas food scene!! Absolutely loved the delicious food, the hospitable service and the open ambiance. The highlight was definitely the mutton biryani, probably the best I have had in a long time!!! Thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would recommend it whole heartedly. read more

My husband and I ate here yesterday during the grand opening free buffet event. There was only Nihari, Biryani, Naan, Rasgulla and some sort of Chicken grill item (probably Chicken Tikka or 65). Lemme tell you, my husband doesn't like Biryani or Nihari at all but came to this event with me because he knew how much I love Indian food. Vut i was shocked because he ate it all AND grabbed seconds. The food was absolutely delicious and I was so happy that my husband actually liked the food too! We are definitely coming back in the next coming weeks! read more

I had the pleasure of dining at Usmania Fine Dining for a private iftaar dinner this weekend and I must say that I was thoroughly impressed with the culinary experience. The flavors were rich and diverse, making each dish a delight to savor. The menu offered a variety of options including Fruit Chaat, Chana Chaat, Dahi Phulki along with Chicken and Veggie Pakoras which made breaking my fast an enjoyable experience. Additionally, they served various drinks like rooh afza, lassi and mango shake which complemented the meal well. Overall, dinner consisted of many different traditional dishes such as Biryani, Nihari, Karahi, Haleem and more modern takes on classic favorites like Balochi tikka or Seekh kababs; there truly is something here worth trying! Lastly, Kheer alongside Gulab Jamun finished off what became one unforgettable evening. Kudos to the management. Keep up the good work guys. Your clean atmosphere and efficient and friendly staff makes this restaurant worth a try. read more

It's the only "fine dining" restaurant in the USA (including Chicago) that I know of that doesn't serve wine and also won't allow BYO

Usmania finally came to dallas ! We have been here twice now but first time was during Ramadan so they had a buffet menu so we didnt review during that time. We came back with my parents and my wife. We were greeted by the manager and he was very nice. Eventually our waiter came and he gave us great recommendations on dishes. We knew what we wanted. We opted for the nihari, karahi goat , butter chicken , naan, rice and bbq platter and the kadak chai. The chai was great and was presented in a clay vessel which was a nice touch. It was hot but they transferred it to a cup for us to cool down. Nihari was alright. Nothing special but also not bad just average. The karahi goat had very little seasoning but the meat was excellently cooked. My parents really did not like it as they like spicy food. I didnt mind it but it was not traditionally cooked (heavy seasoning and a thick gravy). The butter chicken was actually good. It was surprising to see a traditional place cook it well. The BBQ platter was good. The chicken was tender and beef bihari was tender. The reason we gave it 4/5 stars is because there is a few better places in dallas such as Mai Colachi and we were comparing it to Agas in Houston which we had just 3 days prior after going on a road trip. So although we will be back because they do everything well, it still isnt the best in Dallas. YET. read more

It's being said, First impression is the last. Well that's the case for Usmania. Just had an iftar buffet at Usmania. Service was top notch, food was succulent, ambience is good. I hope they carry this in future and excel. All the best! read more

Disorganized, dirty and horrible service. Came in for lunch and the place was empty. Staff just standing around. Person serving us was rude. Ordered some items and was then told the items were not available. The salad served was yellow and rotten. Walked out and never going back. Horrible experience. read more

Cleanliness and Ambience is good. However we found it slightly over priced. Which is fine if the quality of food deserves it. I asked before ordering Nihari if the meat is the Nihari shank meat. The answer was an emphatic yes. I ordered it. Guess what ? Normal meat. Cheap. The shank meat for Nihari is more expensive. But they charge $ 20-30 a dish. Vegetarian dishes are around $18. . You'd think at least one naan would be included. Nope. $2-3.50 a naan is highway robbery. Anyway. I think this is more catered towards people who have more money than brains and not much idea of the authentic taste. The chicken behari was better. Don't think we would be returning. I'm sure there are many who love the place. And that's fine. But honestly there are bunch of hole in the wall places to fine dining which have a better tasting Pakistani food selection. This ain't it. At least not for us. By the way. When we were leaving I mentioned to them that Nihari didn't have shank meat. Answer ? "Yes it is. I can show you the receipt.". Not even asked the customer what tells me it's not shank meat. Why I thought so. Lol. So the hell with the customer huh ? Well good luck. You've lost this family as customers. read more

The Nihari was amazing, I was very impressed with the flavor and quality. Service was great, only reason I'm putting 4 stars is because the barbecue was a 7/10, and not much in quantity for the price. Overall, would definitely recommend this place. read more

Went there twice both times I was told to wait for 1.5 hours. Never going there again, they waisted my time. Totally mis managed !!
