Beef Seekh Kebab (Single)
Natasha L.

New halal Chinese/desi spot that a lot of people recommended and was also voted top placed to eat in 2024 by the Muslim community. Just had to try it out! When you walk in, the ambiance isn't that catching. Really basic, little old school set up. Table seating is just for parties of 8 or more. Others would need to sit in the booth. Food: for appetizers we did the crispy beef. It was alright. Extremely crispy to a point there was no beef but just the crunchiness. That would have been ok, if the sauce wasn't off. Extremely sweet. Too sweet. For main courses we got the chicken hakka noodles and beef sheekh kabob and of course naan. Hakka noodles were good! Highly recommend this. Beef sheekh kabob came out hot! Pipping hot! I would have enjoyed it except it tasted just like the crispy beef- it was too tangy! Tasted like the chef dumped a lot of tomato paste and called it a day! What stole the show was the naan. Fresh naan- nice and fluffy! Could eat that and be happy. Customer service was good! Quick and easy. Even though the food did not check all the right boxes, I will still give this place another try because of all the great things we've heard about them. And who knows, the chef may just have had an off day!

Hot & Sour Soup
Deangelo J.

Soup was delicious, the crispy beef was pretty good. Nice location, very clean. But did a pickup order and they forgot my rice.

Fried Ice Cream
Masuma M.

Best halal Chinese in Houston hands down! Got food in 10 minutes, and good decor. We had their famous crispy beef (never disappoints), sesame chicken, steak fried rice, mango lassi and the fried ice cream

Chicken 65, mountain beef, Kung Pao Chicken

This restaurant is all around awesome. Indian Chinese fusion is absolutely delicious and they are excellent at everything they do. have catered from there multiple times for events and they are so wonderful to deal with and communicative and the food is always been top notch high quality. Especialy love the noodles and beef, kung pao chicken, they're pakoras are out of this world, and the chicken biryani is Delicious. Update: 2024-10 catered from Abbas & family for a large party and it was very popular even with Sugarland people. Beef lo mein, kung Pao chicken, chicken 65, fried rice, Szechuan chicken, egg rolls, and refreshing mojitos. everything was fantastic

Chicken 65 5/5
Lauren M.

Came here for a business lunch! We were given historical context about this place regarding what it was before and how the food missed the mark. But today, complete with new owners/cooks in the kitchen, the meal we had was great and left us wanting to return in the future. Service was a little slow for the drinks, but that's negligible due to the amazing food we had. Chicken 65 5/5 Sweet and spicy and flavorful. The heat was to "medium" and it had a perfect amount of kick to it. It came out steaming on a cast iron pan. Goat karahi 5/5 Simply flavorful and spicy at medium! There was enough meat for the karahi. Goat wasn't too gamey was enough to let you know you were eating good. So the good type of game flavor. The sauce had so much depth to it. Chicken makhani 4/5 Flavor of the masala was amazing. Very sweet and savory, more on the sweet side which I love. But not enough Chicken in this dish. Spicy garlic chicken 3.5/5 This dish wasn't spicy at all and can barely get the garlic flavor. It was good for a indo-chinese dish. Reminded me of gen tso. Garlic Naan 3/5 I thought the Naan was flavorful but seemed too crispy and burnt Kung pao Chicken 5/5 I would crave this dish the most out of what we had altogether. The flavor of lung pao is normally too plain/bland for me in most Chinese spots but this one packed a savory punch. Plenty of chicken and vegetables in this dish. We also received complimentary gulab jamun at the end of our meal. We'll be back for the goat and Kung pao and to try other dishes next time were in the area!

Chicken Soup
Amita K.

We wanted to try Indo Chinese food. It was really awful. Fried rice Tasted like vegetable upma ( all Desi folks will know what I'm talking about). The chilli chicken didn't taste anything like the authentic chilli chicken. I have no idea how this place has 4 stars . If you're looking for a good Indian Chinese place, this place will be disappointing! We tried the chicken egg drop soup and it lacked taste. On the plus side : The place is clean and the people serving are cordial but that hardly makes up for the food.

Mango lassi
Susan P.

I've door dashed from here and found it intriguing so when the opportunity arose, I was all in. The is a bright, clean dining room with a very visible owner. Turns out he's also patient as we perused an extensive menu and asked lots of questions. Every meal is cooked to order so be prepared to wait. It is worth it. First up was a complimentary appetizer consisting of chicken pea battered veggies, yum and some spicy chicken chunks. Bring a fire extinguisher as even mild brings out the flames. We ordered the special appetizer tray which comes with a delectable crispy, fiery dumpling and some battered shrimp. For mains we had the Roger Josh beef which featured a rich tomato curry and tender beef. My dining partner ordered butter chicken but was slightly disappointed when she discovered dark meat in it. Management surprised us with a complimentary dessert that was both stunning in plating and taste

Burrata Makhani

Out of this world taste! We went for a birthday party and had the place reserved for our daughters 2nd birthday. Lovely lovely people and amazing food. They played some good tunes and it was an overall hit. Will come again.

Sesame chicken

I ordered sesame chicken, fried rice, saag paneer, and goat biryani. The food was freshly prepared, so we did not mind the wait. The establishment offered good food, a clean environment, and courteous servers.

The physical menu. Scan the table for a better menu with photos.
JoAnn M.

It was a nice experience. We were familiar with chinese cuisine but not Pakistani/Indian. It is better to scan the menu at your table, because that menu has pictures! Spices can be adjusted on every meal 0 to 9. Zero being not spicy, nine being HOT! The food was very good. We had orange chicken, beef and brocolli, and butter chicken. Also, had garlic naan and sesame naan. One thing that was not good was they don't serve rice with any of the dishes! All that sauce and no rice. Main dishes were around $17, you think rice could be included in that price. The service was awesome! Alex was serving us and did a fantastic job. Lunch for 3 of us with tax and tip was $87.

The food was amazing but the service was pretty shockingly bad. Two girls doing their makeup in a booth on their phone. We had to go find them to ask for a box and pay our check. It took five minutes for anyone to greet us at the door and it was completely empty

Menu: Halal Chinese
Destiny J.

Ambiance: This may be a longer review because I tried various things. We wanted to try a new location yesterday and decided to give Wok & Karahi a try as it mentioned they are a blend of Indian and Chinese cuisines. We learned they are under new management so the inside is being revamped going with a more achromatic color scheme and adding a buffet as an option for items pictures on the menu with a red background. I will say when you first drive up it is easy to miss as the name on the outside states "Halal Chinese" - this may be an old name before the revamp or not; but it is the correct location. Order: Buffet: the buffet included items like veggie & spring rolls, dumpling soup, 2 versions of the fried rice and noodles, chili & sesame chicken, and Mongolian beef. I took pictures of the items I tasted before going back for larger portions of what I liked. The soup was flavorful and good; but I am not a fan of the thickness within it. Everything else was great, especially the Mongolian beef, beef fried rice & noodle. Those were a 10/10. I loved the veggie roll,especially when it was paired with the sweet chili sauce. Samosa: I order the samosa, which is separate from the buffet. The samosa had this slightly sweet coating while the inside had the slightly spiced flavor. I loved it along with the sauce. Definitely recommend. Lemonade: the lemonade was okay and is separate from the buffet but I was able to have a cola as well. Service: Everyone was nice but there was this one staff member that was very helpful in explaining what each item is, he checked in various times, was very energetic and true to himself, he held great conversations and made great recommendations. He's the reason I tried the buffet Payment: The buffet is priced at 19.99 and the payment was quick and easy. Overall experience: I will say the buffet is small when we're speaking on options but the flavor is great to where you aren't worried about other things. It gives the focus on quality and not quantity. I plan to visit again and try the curry and other items.

CorkScrew BBQ - Pulled pork, brisket, a rib with mac& cheese

CorkScrew BBQ

(1.4k reviews)

CORKSCREW BBQ is Houston's Michelin star restaurant! It is about 30 minutes drive north of Houston,…read morewhich isn't super bad. They are only open Wednesday-Saturday 11AM-4PM. We came a little earlier and there was already a long line. I heard that if you order in advance, you can skip the line. While you wait, the employees walk around and you can order a drink. Which is nice if you're waiting a while and it gets hot. The employees were all very nice and ambiance is how you would expect a regular bbq restaurant to be. There are plenty of seating outside but limited inside. The seats are all first come first serve, so usually the inside seating runs out first. We ordered 1/2lb ribs, 1/2lb brisket, 1/2lb sausages, and some sides like Mac&cheese, beans, loaded potato, cobbler, etc. total was about $120 after tip. The food was very delicious and worth the drive. Although, I will say that it doesn't taste that much different from my other favorite bbq restaurants. I was still a great experience and very delicious. I highly recommend to try if you're in the area.

Since they were awarded their Michelin star, I've been wanting to try CorkScrew... in particular,…read moretheir beef rib. Beef ribs are my go to bbq protein, and not many places have them. I've tried those deemed "the best," including Salt Lick in Driftwood and Killen's. So how did CorkScrew measure up? In addition to the beef rib, we tried the moist brisket, pulled pork, and sausage. We also tried several sides, including those recommended in the Michelin review: potato salad, mac and cheese, smokey beans, and coleslaw, and I picked up a peach cobbler, as well. The beef rib: STELLAR. This was outstanding with its flavorful bark and an impossibly tender texture that truly melts in your mouth, unlike any other beef rib I've ever had. Easily the very best beef rib, without a doubt. The brisket was delicious, as well: tender and flavorful. The sausage was nothing special... on par with sausage elsewhere, as was the pork. As for the sides, I've never been a fan of beans, but since the Michelin review specifically mentioned them, I gave them a try. I'm a fan! I would definitely order these again. Their smokiness is gently tamed by a touch of sweetness. The rest? Very average. The mac and cheese tasted like the stuff I had in my elementary school cafeteria - very un-special. The potato salad was salty and was missing any semblance of potato chunks. The texture was oddly like lumpy mashed potatoes. But the other surprise for me: the cobbler. This was simply and divinely perfect with crisp, sweet buttery crumble. A wonderful way to end a hearty meal. I'm so glad I ordered our food online for pickup. When I arrived at 1pm, the line was wrapped around the building. Pickup was very easy: I texted them when I arrived, and they replied when they were ready for me to go in and retrieve it. But even if there wasn't a line, I would never eat there: the restaurant is too divey for me: very rustic, picnic-like feel both inside and out, and it was uncomfortably warm and humid (again, inside and out.) The staff was very friendly and cheerful. Glad i tried it, and when i get a hankering for a good beef rib, this is definitely where I'll be getting it!

Actually, they have a good size menu and have some American options along with juices and smoothies so It made ordering easy. They also have a full bar with several cocktails and mocktails. Inside right when you enter is the actual bar with about 6 seats which were full with customers during my entire visit. Their happy hour ends at 6pm, but I arrived at 7pm so I ended up missing the discounted drinks. I ordered the cod and shrimp pita which ended up being slightly different than the regular gyro. I had to set it down after a couple of bites since the wheat pita bread is much thinner than regular pita bread and it kept falling apart on me. I also added a mango mojito. With a name like Island Grill, I sort of expected to see more tropical drinks or rum-based cocktails show up on the menu, but this was about the only one. Overall, my experience was okay, but I don't know if it was good enough for me to return.

But after that, I have to say that I will say that I like how quick the service was. You can see them making your food fresh after ordering and I appreciate that they tried to move quickly because there were people going in and out on the Saturday afternoon I was there. I personally don't like the thick bread and prefer the pita pocket style of rolls, but that's just personal preference. So I'm not even counting that part of the review. Because I expected it to have the thinner bread, I asked them to cut it. I usually like to have my sandwich cut in the middle, so I can eat half of it while driving since I'm almost always on the go. When they cut half of the sandwich, the aluminum foil bits were inside of the sandwich and that was really annoying because I had to pick off almost half of the sandwich from the ends of the sandwich just to make sure I didn't eat any bits of aluminum foil. I would ask them to either cut sandwiches in half separately before wrapping or have better quality aluminum foil (You can see the aluminum foil in the pictures). The sauce and meat was good and the veggies seemed fresh. I'm not knocking this place down, I'll definitely be back to try out again but just something to be aware of. I think the gyro wrap might just be growing on me. All in all, if you like a fluffy, smaller sanplacedwich like they do up north, instead of a longer shawarma wrap, definitely try this place out!

The hummus deserves a special mention, it was one of the best I've ever had, and that says a lot coming from someone who is Middle Eastern.

Some of the dishes are spicy like the spicy hummus, spicy chicken dish, and their hot sauce. Some of the compartments were not all that hot, like the butter chicken, the day I visited. It was bland anyway, very different than the Indian version, so I don't think heat would have helped much. At the end was dessert time. They have about 5 desserts. I tried the roll with lots of peanuts, the baklava, the sweet bread and the flan. I have to say I liked the baklava the best as I figured I would. Service was friendly though.
