Tried their chicken and paya nihari to go. Got home and found the chicken nihari to have 1 piece chicken only and sauce for $9.99!!! Come on! This is the most expensive nihari ever! To think that I have been to a lot of famous Pakistani restaurants in Houston and other places but never ever served 1 pc small cut chicken for a meal! read more

Ashar's Kitchen - The very expensive 1 pc chicken nihari for $9.99 - no side dishes included! - Pakistani Near Me - Sugar Land, Texas

They showed nothing but love. This was my first time. Hospitality on point. Will be a part two.

I just had dinner at this Resturant heard about there food so divided to have dinner. Ordered Lamb shank Nihari lamb had very bad after taste couldn't eat it so I called the gentleman who took my order and brought to his attention he didn't do any thing. I send the food back after only eating plain Nihari . I stopped to pay my bill and spoke to young lady she seems to be floor manager and told her that Lamb shank was really had very bad after taste no apology ,she took my payment . I was not looking for free meal but simply apology would have done the job. Want ever go back to this place no customer service and food was really bad.For get Ambiance. read more

Really good authentic Pakistani food!! The nehari is amazing, as well as all the other options. The portions are huge!!! Great service as well. Will definitely be back. read more

Excellent food and great service. Tried their nihari, dhaga kabab, beef biryani and couple of other items. All fresh and tasty.

OMG Amazing!!! For context, I was born and raised in Pakistan so know about Pakistani/Indian cuisine very well. We started with beef samosas which took us back to Pakistan! We tried chicken bihari roll then which was wow! Chicken melted in the mouth as soon as I had it. Finally on to the entrée, we had nihari and paya nihari. The taste was spot on! Naan was perfectly cooked as well. Absolutely delicious!!! It's going to be our new to go Indian/Pakistani restaurant from now on. read more

Went here on a sunday morning around 11 to get some aloo puri. We had 7 people and got 6 of the combos with aloo and puri and chole. It was pretty good. Each plate came with 3 puris. The puris were really fresh and not too oily, just perfect. Same with the aloo and chole, i liked that they were not too oily read more

Excellent. We went there on the busiest night of this restaurant. On Wednesday Nihari night. Delicious food, appealing atmosphere, helpful staff (Kamil & the front desk lady), and brilliant service. Everything we ate was fresh and delicious. I'd love to visit again. read more

Since I moved to USA, I haven't experienced such a wonderful NIHARI specially Nali & Maghaz Nihari at Ashar's Kitchen. The taste and texture remind me of Jawaid 's Nihari in Karachi. Tandoor fresh Naan with heavenly tasteful Nihari was all amazing and unforgettable. Staff was very efficient and good in hospitality. Mr. Ashar personally met our group at the table and collected feedback from us. Very positive attitude. He offered complementary tea after the meal which was undoubtably superb and best quality tea I ever had. read more

Ashar's Kitchen - Ashar's Nihari - Pakistani Near Me - Sugar Land, Texas

Ordered from Ashars kitchen through Uber eats. Giving it 1 star because the quantity of the food is not worth the price you are paying for. Literally got one chunk of meat in the Nihari I had ordered. No doubt the food tastes good, but I personally feel the price is not worth the quantity. Not ordering from here again. Save your money and find a better place! read more

food ok , service slow. charging gratuity not acceptable. be-aware this practice. its becoming a problem at this restaurant . they make fool out of consumer and on top of it they justify their stealing practice by posting a sign read more

I want to start off by saying I will never go or recommend this place to my friends or family. I had ordered a regular order nothing too much just your standard Nehari, sheik kabob, and chicken boti along with a couple garlic naan. We had called twice and placed the order at 3:57 pm on 6/27/21 I was told it would be read 25 to 30 minutes so I had gotten there around 4:30 to pick up our order. When we got there our order was no where to be found and was told it was going to be another 30 to 40 minutes. Which is ridiculous in my opinion! When we had call back to talk to the owner to complain the employee had hung up on us. We called back again and the Owner answered the phone apologizing and saying the order was written on a different piece of paper. I understand accidents happen but since i was treated like garbage and the employee hanging up on us I will NEVER GO BACK TO THE RESTAURANT ESTABLISHMENT! Owners great job keeping terrible employees who do not have any respect for the customers! Like I said In my first sentence I will never go or recommend this place to my friends or family! read more

If there was a lower rating I could give this place I would . Horrible management with no concept of customer service . Make people stand in line for 45 minutes and then let other people get through . Some people were showing up at the restaurant and just walk in with out being asked or a reservation and place themselves on the table and start eating. I have heard the food is good however if the food is even 10 percent of what the management is then will clearly would be a negative 5 . Best to stay away . read more

Never again - no respect for customer's time. -Called to place an order, says it will be ready in 20 minutes. -Arrived after 20 minutes, they say "10 more minutes". -Almost 30 more minutes later I get my food (4 orders of kabab and some naan). No further updates from employees during this extra 30 min time even though I'm sitting directly in front of register waiting and there are at least 4 of them working the register/dining area (wasn't busy, this was 7:50-8:50p). If they had told me when I called it would take an hour, that's fine, I would've just arrived accordingly. They wasted 40 minutes of my time which also made me 30 minutes late to pick up another food order nearby (which was prepared on time, and then cold by time I arrived). If the food was something special I would've maybe upped it to 2 stars but it wasn't. Too many quality options in this area to come again. read more

No doubt about food it's delicious but they suck with quantity ordered 3 Nihari and kata Kat 4 Naan paid $65.Its very expensive and very small portion. it's not worth the money you are paying you rather sit there and eat atleast they serve you gravy for free and is filling and to go order are very small containers read more

The food is good - actually very good. But the service is subpar. The staff needs better instruction. The young and clueless girl who took payment was extremely rude. She went over the bill and when there was a discrepancy I explained such in both English and Urdu and she responded with "Are you sure?". Insinuating that we were either liars or cheats or both. What's sad is that the server was very attentive this time (and that's an exception rather than a rule). But the lady that took care of the bill lacked common sense .... or any sense whatsoever. Extremely disappointing. read more

Great service. Great food. Breakfast buffet was the best. Food standard is on top. Every time I come here the manager is always great.

Scenario: All you can eat Nihari Buffet for $8.99 on Wednesday night. I met with a friend at Ashar's for their Wednesday night special and was impressed by the different variety of Niharis they offered that night with unlimited supply of naan and Gulab Jaman as dessert. 1. Chicken Nihari 2. Beef Nihari 3. Nalli Nihari 4. Magaz Nihari 5. Paya Nihari 6. Lamb Shank Nihari Overall, it was a satisfying experience and Nihari flavor was perfect. The service from waiters can improve a little bit but overall this experience was much much better than my previous experience. I would definitely plan to convince my other friends to visit on Wednesday's for Nihari special if Ashar continues with this special offer and I will be returning soon as well. read more

Food has always been spot on over years! Never disappointed. But management & service was rollercoaster. When there was women who was manager it was great! Then past year or so without management service was so bad we avoided Ashar's when possible, but couldn't help to go due to excellent food. On our visit last night we were pleasantly surprised by new manager, he was was excellent! Keep asking if items were needed and how food was, think now Ashar's is on path back to its old glory! Will be back again for your 5 star food! read more

What a fantastic experience eating here. I honestly felt like it was one of the more authentic experiences. From the Hot and Fresh Parathas to the Nihari like my mom makes it! Also, Can NOT forget the most authentic Kashmiri Chai in town. It is amazing topped with pistachios. read more

First of all There is a guy name Kamil or kamal n i dont know he is a owner or employee but the way he communicated with us is awesome , the way he packed our big order in such a Proffesional way (by the way i m from Dallas)the food is sooo delicious no words for that I really wish i ve these type of ppl as partners or managers in my businesses Allah bless u guys for yr nihari n dhaaga kabab read more

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER first of all no one cares about about you need we ordered nihari and they forgot about it they give it to us last second which taste disgusting and when we wanted more naan they said the kitchen closed so they basically did not even inform us that the kitchen closed DO NOT GO BETTER TO EAT AT HOME read more

Have been there couple of times great food every time. We also went there on their famous Wed night Nihari night buffet. Didn't know you need a booking to ensure seating. They let us in anyway as we were early and people were not jamming the place yet. By the time we left there were people lining up outside. I was only able to try 3 out of 5 types of Nihari aNd loved the lamb shank Nihari. I see some bad reviews about their service before going and was concerned. But we found them courteous and welcoming. read more

Overall, it was a great experience. I had heard a lot of positive things about Ashar's Nihari. Me, along with my family, decide to try out their Wednesday nihari night (7 variations of nihari with unlimited naan). Parking is ample. Their was waiting of about 30 - 45 mins. The place was packed but the nihari was fresh and warm. Same can be said about their naans. Hands down it was the best nihari in Houston. We ended our meal with gulab jamuns (excellent) and Kheer (above average). read more

The food is good but a very unprofessional staff at this location. Stick to takeout if you need to go to the HWy 6 branch. The waiters will literally ignore you while wandering around. We finally left after waiting 10 minutes and still no menu- they were not even bothered that we were walking out. Probably need a better manager on premises read more

We have been to asher kitchen so many times for Nihari, and its now become in Houston everyone knows it, but today we went for halwa pori, its too good I usually eat 2 pories as they are always very heavy but they serve 3 pories and i have eat all of them in one go, it was very lite idk how quantity was more than enough for one person, lassi was even really refreshing and yumm, price is little bit hight as compared to other halwa pori's places .. but in the end I really like the taste of pories.. must try for pories as well !! read more

Expensive and no taste, Kalegi smelled, paya not cooked, Chole hard! Nihari did not taste like Nihari. Very disappointed!

Disappointed,this was third time I went to h6 location, first time the food & the service was great but second n third the food I didn't like. We ordered dhaagha kabob ,biryani & tikkas. Actually we went because of dhagaa kabob which was totally dry. After the third time which was our last try. Our family not going there The tikka n biryani was great in taste service was okay I hope dhaagha kabob will be fixed, that's the popularity of this place read more

Excellent food and service!! The food was fresh and the taste authentic. We had the Nalli Nihari and Nalli Biryani! Highly recommended both. Will be coming back to try their Charsi Chicken that smelled divine from the neighboring table read more

This review may be biased because the family who invited us to the restaurant were related to the owners of the restaurant, so the service level was exceptional and very different from what majority of folks are suggesting. So 5 stars for sure for service. The food itself was also excellent. We had paratha rolls, bihari chicken, dhaga kabab, katakat (this was something new they were experimenting with), naans, parathas, kabuli pulao, and chai. Also, the food presentation was excellent, the plates, glasses etc were very traditional. I did not eat the pulao, but rest of the stuff tasted really good. Only thing was that Nihari was very spicy, though unlike other reviewers, i would say it looked and tasted like nihari. If the spice level was lower, you would taste it for sure. Overall would love to go back read more

We have tried a couple of types of nihari and all were so amazing!! Our server fahad was amazing.

Great tasting food, the lamb-shank nihari with nali was what hit the spot, food quality is also amazing. Thanks Asher.

This place had amazing food the chicken nihari and beef nihari was amazing .The best I had not to mention the kids chicken nugget were delicious. The garlic naan was super had the perfect amount of garlic and was nice and crispy drove from humble and plan to return . read more

Sunday Brunch was amazing !! From Halwa puri, fried chicken , paya , nihari, kabab fry, biryani and my fav chicken liver and so many other items cooked fresh and delicious . Chef Ashar is the most passionate foodie in Houston . A must try in Houston . Ask for Aneesha, she always has a smile on her face and will give you the best service . PS: have to try the sweet lassi !! It's amazing read more

I've been going to Ashar's since they were located in Adams on westheimer. Their nahari used to be the best in town but from past year or so their quality have gone down, not sure if they have a new chef or what. Their food used to be so flavorful but now it's just oily and spicy. I hope they are able to fix this issue soon and we hope to be back soon. read more

The food tastes great but it is a filthy restaurant. Glasses had grease on them. I found a cockroach on the dinner table. The staff walked off when we complained about the cockroach on our table and did not bother apologizing. Food is tasty and authentic but not worth the lack of regard in service read more

Every time I try to order they say not accepting to go orders ... service is terrible highly don't recommend ...

The place is nicw and clean, well lit, with good service, offering a good variety of Indo-Pak cuisine, almost completely non veg, with their Nihari being prepared v authentic, fresh warm nan bread. The meat in the Nihari was minimal, something they should look into. We also had tawa chicken, quite tasty but with excess oil. Their signature dish was the kabab with strings, or Dhaga as they call it, was a bit spicy than expected. read more

Yes we tried it after all the hype! Customer service: 5 stars! Absolutely wonderful server plus hostess. Desi restaurants seriously need to learn from this Ambiance: really nicely done and very clean Food: we tried the Nihari which I thought was good but lol my mom makes the best nihari so I was a little underwhelmed Dhaga kabob was so so good! Will definitely be back for more! Chicken tikka boti? Also very good! I was impressed with how well done it was Overall I'll be back for the Dhaga kabob and try a few other things! P.S. chutney was great! Buttttt Please offer the Raita with the food. It didn't come until we asked for more chutney and they brought us some raita at which point I was almost done with food lol I over ate so I could enjoy some Raita with my food! It was so good! read more

Authentic Karachi style food, nihari was specially original tikka and kabab were succulent and flavorful, the perfect balance of spice and moisture. We ate it in NY and will go back all the way for it read more
