My husband, brother, cousin, and my son and I came here for dinner on a Saturday night. We ordered naan, goat biryani, beef haleem, and nihari. They also have a buffet, but we wanted to order separate dishes. For drinks, we ordered mango lassi. The mango lassi was so fresh and delicious. My son loved it as well. This place is large with plenty of seating. The staff and service are great. Please read further for pros and cons for different foods/drinks we tried: Food: *Nihari* The meat was so tender and the gravy delicious. This went perfectly with their piping hot naan, which was very fluffy and had a great tandoor taste. No complaints here. *Goat Biryani* I did not try this, but it looked incredible *Haleem* The haleem was a little flavorless and a little watery for my liking, but it wasn't bad. *Macaroni & Cheese* I ordered this for my son and it wasn't good at all. It looked like they used a whole box of macaroni and a whole lot of cream and milk, but it didn't taste cheesy at all and was not appetizing. It also came out extremely hot and there was no warning of not touching the bowl, and it wasn't served with anything underneath it. *Chocolate Ice Cream* I also ordered this for my son and he loved it. The ice cream was very creamy and appetizing. Overall, I think the quality of the food here is great. Of course I wouldn't expect this to be an expert on making macaroni and cheese, so it's perfectly fine that that dish wasn't great. The Nihari is absolutely amazing. I am looking forward to coming back here and trying the vegetarian dishes as well as the many other dishes they have. read more

Really great selection of dishes.i ordered the pakora, palak paneer, and two naan. The pakora was crispy and fresh and tasted delicious. The palak paneer was also very good and moderately spicy. The naan is HUGE! I ordered two thinking they would be smaller like I am used to, but one is plenty. Overall, this is a great restaurant and I'm looking forward to coming back and trying other dishes. read more

I am rating the food that we had today at this restaurant. The daal fry was below average as well as the chicken boti. The goat biriyani, however, was good, had a fresh taste. The ambiance was very good but the customer service was average. The person who served us did not understand what we were even asking. I am not sure about the other items on the menu but this definitely is not on my return list. read more

The place was welcoming and clean. The staff was helpful in answering questions about the dishes. Descriptions of the items in the buffet would have been nice too. All the Pakistani food was so flavorful! The desserts were amazing too. I found out we could also order a la carte and request Zero Spice. Everything was so fresh! I would like to go back and try more dishes. Kash was especially helpful and a wonderful host. Our waiter was also very accommodating and gracious. We will be returning! read more

The only saving grace was the service from one particular server, who wasn't even ours and the dining hall. This place was suuuuuper lackluster. It's an older place where I feel like they have regulars but we haven't been in a few years. I remember why we didn't go back for so long. Our order included a kids meal nuggets, fries and a soda - one chicken biryani - 2 chicken tikka burgers - second side of fries, chicken seekh kabob roll and 2 water bottles. We were told 10 minutes after ordering that they were out of chicken nuggets and we couldn't sub the soda in kids meal for a juice. Our kids do not drink soda and they didn't have any kind of juice available at all. The chicken tikka kabobs were pieces of bbq chicken, my boys didn't love them but they were okay. Hard to eat with the ingredients falling out because the chicken was cut up small. The kabob roll was full of big pieces of random cucumber and a whooole lot of mayonnaise or a mayonnaise based sauce. The chicken biryani was just all out bad. No flavor. No salt, no pepper. It literally tasted like boiled rice. I couldn't believe how bad it was. We will definitely not be going back again, total waste of our money. Nonetheless, they seem to be very popular in the local area so all the luck to the business. read more

Have you ever eaten Indian food and wished it had meat in it? Well, then Pakistani food is for you. This is one of my favorite South Asian restaurants in all of DFW. I've eaten here over 15 times now, just working my way down the menu and never been disappointed. In fact, my love affair keeps deepening with every trip. My favorites so far are chapli kebab, sesame naan, beef nahari, Keema Naan,...the list keeps getting longer. Do yourself a favor and try something new and I promise, you'll keep coming back. read more

Service is fair but the food is great but not all. I love their BBQ chicken it's always cooked just right. They don't have the best interior look, though I think they can do a better job at refreshing looks and their restrooms for their guests. read more

Amazing food. Their pickled onions were fantastic. The amount of items on the buffet, and the quality was extraordinary.

Awesome food and great service . Ambiance is good as well . Good for parties and groups .

Very disappointed with BBQ KING Ordered nihari to go which is Almost $16 for beef nihari comes with 2 small pieces of meat & gravy Not even enough for my 6 year old, let alone an adult Either reduce price of increase portion that atleast 1-2 person can eat. Thank you for ruining out dinner tonight. Was gonna take my non desi friends to try authentic Pakistani food on Sunday, now I am not so sure about it. Picture of their "fresh ?" Salad with rotten cucumbers & rotten lettuce I am sure now people will criticize of me being very harsh or being rude over "free salad LOL" atleast serve fresh atleast read more

For the Desi equivalent of the Dim Sum experience, come here for the Sunday brunch buffet: you'll find a similarly bustling interior filled with LOADS of food, laughs, and people chattering away in foreign languages. The friendly staff, comfortable setting, and food that tasted home-made makes for a vibe that felt like we were at family's. While most buffets are notorious for serving watered-down food, at BBQ King the food comes out fresh and frequent. The "naan" was buttery and fluffy, perfect for sopping up the "Butter Chicken" which was thick, creamy, and popped with a tomato flavor. Naan could also be used to wrap around their famous "Green Chicken", which had a mostly spinach flavor instead of green chili. The "Mango Lassi" was actually thick even though it was from a big batch; it was a bit too sweet. The "Nahari", an essential dish, was rich and thick. However I felt it could've been seasoned better. Similarly, the "Chicken Biriyani" was totally bland. Some surprises: the "Halwa" was very flavorful. It had almost a creamy aftertaste. To wrap it up I used their "Paratha" which didn't look particularly appetizing because it was so brown it looked old, but it's actually because it's made from wheat! The wheat flavor added a nice nutty accent to the Halwa and made for a really satisfying finish to the meal. Give it a chance! In Desi style, I had to finish the meal with "Paan". They have a dedicated paan maker wrapping them fresh, and a lot of exciting varieties (chocolate paan, cherry paan). In Chipotle fashion, you get a thick roll wrapped in foil. The paan is an explosion of refreshing flavor! read more

So after reading reviews that state the long lengthy time for food to be ready. I ordered take out, waited an hour until I showed up. My food was ready at the desk. My food was still warm when I got home. All of the food was just ok. It wasn't great nor bad. The portion size was a slight bit more than other places with similar food. However the prices are way higher considering that the meals ordered didn't come with any rice nor naam. That had to be ordered separate and again the price was high for those very essential sides to eat your food with. The inside of the restaurant was almost elegant. There were many chandlers , unfortunately there were also random gold plastic streamers hanging from the ceiling. I think in this case less is more. read more

Fairly popular in the DFW South Asian community for its supposedly authentic flavors and value pricing, I've heard countless rave reviews of BBQ King, urging me to try them out. However, my experience here has been nothing but a swift punch to the gut. The service here was definitively sub-par, with wait staff that were uncoordinated, confused and generally unfriendly. There was no sense of hospitality or efficiency - rather, a constant sense of the customer being a burden upon them. Their inability to explain the menu only further exacerbated the problem, further hammering in the nail in this coffin. As for the food, the flavors were a range of below average to wholly disappointing, and that's before considering the prices. Their "King Chicken" in particular lists an intriguing selection of ingredients, and that's exactly where they get you. The ingredients didn't mix, complement or add to the dish in any manner. As for others dishes, they were also relatively weak on flavor and authenticity overall. It was frankly a synchronized assault on my tastebuds and wallet. Sealing this one off for now, this isn't a place I ever intend to return to. Even if someone else were to offer me a free meal, I'd still turn it down in respect to their pride and finances. One might say expectations biased my experience, but to them I'd say, "Why are you reading this then?" To make this short, don't come here. read more

Service is extremely poor! Wait times for food is way too long!!! I do not recommend. read more

Visited BBQ King for their weekend brunch buffet after a long time! The seating arrangement is decent size with adequate distancing. The buffet spread was really nice! Everything was fresh and aromatic! The dishes we were able to try were biryani, nihari, paye, chicken tikka, anda paratha, halwa puri, qeema, haleem, butter chicken, shahi tukrey, chai, sweet and mango lassi! Everything and i mean everything was delicious!! The spice level was reasonable so that was a plus for us gentle palate people and the others used some green chillies! Definitely worth a visit if you are looking for a nice weekend brunch! read more

I would really like to see them progress in customer service. It's really sad to see our Muslim community hasn't picked up on being a good host. Especially when you are running a restaurant that people depend on. Please kindly have proper energetic helpful people around customers. I have noticed a lot of times (take-out) orders are the ones are being neglected. Pay attention to those orders as well as customers dinning in. Prices can be reasonable and portions definitely need work on. I'm a valued customer that orders from them giving them the benefit of the doubt that they will come around. InshAllah hoping they bring some improvements. read more

Our 4th or 5th visit there but the reason for this review is just to point out that their customer service was in fact great. They had a buffet out for the night but when we asked for a la carte they happily obliged. The food at this place apparently is never an issue but I've seen several reviews about their poor service...hopefully they read those reviews because our experience with littles in tow was great. read more

One of our favorite Pakistani restaurants...the bread is homemade and we especially enjoy the beef keema and beef nihari. The service is very nice and good people. Ambiance is great.

Great food! We tried a few different dishes and they were all delicious, (Chicken tikka, beef naan). The yogurt (rata) is very spicy so make sure you only use a tad bit if your sensitive to spice. We also tried the whole chicken omg it's so good and a very large portion for sharing with a few people. The ONLY reason I gave them 3 stars is because their service sucks, we had a terrible experience in the restaurant, we waited 30 min for them to eve take our order, and they don't serve alcohol or beer. I only recommend Take-out, unless your Pakistani. They don't seem to serve people that don't speak the language very quickly and really favor their own people I'm guessing, but I'm not sure. So just avoid the drama and order take-out, you won't regret it. read more

The food is amazing the service is top notch and the ambiance is next level! Palak paneer, lamb shanks, all of the pizzas , hot tea, and the weekend buffet are unforgettable. Returning soon! read more

Today 4/23rd, 3rd day of Eid, I drove from Carrollton with a family of four, leaving behind good neighborhood restaurant options. Buffet food quality and options was poor, no Eid special - dry naans, soggy & oily Pooris, no mutton dish, no BBQ / tandoori items, no Paya meat - just watery soup, poor looking butter chicken (taste ok), OK nihari, and half cut Gulab Jamun for dessert. $100 for four. Service poor as always. No one paying attention to your needs, had to request and wait for naans and .... Disappointed and heartbroken to see slow degradation of a good restaurant. I hope the owner wakes up in time to stop the slide, before loyal customers fly away. asif rauf = seven,six,zero-fournintysix-eightyseven eighty nine read more

In town for a trip and my son wanted BBQ. This was not the type of bbq we were looking for but glad we gave it a try. The food was really good and my son was so impressed. The waiters do not make the assumption that you do not know how to eat the food so I encourage you to ask as they are super nice and take the time to explain the meal to you. Apparently were eating it wrong at first lol. read more

Food is delicious but service and hospitality negative 100. I placed 3-4 days ahead so it be ready for me to pick on friend gathering and the day of pick up called to confirm they said they CAN NOT MAEK IT BY THE TIME I REQUESTED THEM TO BE READY. They hang up rudely. I wish if it had negative I would have given. But guess what no matter how good their food is I would never in my life step in that store. I wish you very good luck BBQ KING MY 1 person business won't effect you. read more

It's a nice restaurant and most of the food is awesome I usually enjoy it a lot. But today I am giving 2 stars because I ordered Achari Boneless beef and it wasn't good. Plus customer service sucks To be honest. I was done with my food and literally I was sitting there for my bill. I understand it could be emergency or my server got busy in the back but that doesn't mean that the other server can't help, then I finally had to ask a server to help me after at least 30 min. Anyways customer service can be better. Especially when there prices are like some top notch restaurant which I don't mind paying if it's a complete package (food+customer service) read more

Yesterday was my second time buying Nihari (take out) from this restaurant. Nihari was very delicious and my family loved it. I visited all the way from West Plano just to buy Nihari as this place seems to have the best Nihari in DFW area. Receptionist was very friendly and took care of my order right away.

I have never visited the restaurant, but I have ordered food from them,,via Uber Eats, many times. It is a bit on the pricier side, but so tasty, so I keep coming back. Last night, due to a miscommunication on the Uber Eats app, one dish was not included in my delivery: the "Beef Bihari Paratha Roll". As you can imagine, I was pretty put out that my husbands meal (the excellent & spicy beef kabob) had arrived, but I was left with nothing to eat. When I called the restaurant directly, the man who answered (likely either the owner or manager) was kind and apologetic. He explained that they were out of the roll I had ordered, but offered to quickly prepare a substitution and send one of his employees out to deliver it to me. Within 25 minutes I had dinner and a free extra entree of chicken and rice. I was blown away by the excellent service. My favorite dishes: Veggie Samosas: so tasty and they come with a delicious topping of chickpeas Beef Bihari: I cannot get enough of this dish. The blend of spices is amazing! Flavored Naan: I recommend the garlic or onion varieties. read more

First off, the food was absolutely amazing! I definitely want to go back for the food, but the experience was so incredibly bad that I'm hesitant to. My husband and I are a mixed race couple. Neither of us are Pakistani. This should not matter, but it seemed to at this restaurant. After we were seated an older man stood within 10 feet behind us the entire time, watching us. It made our meal extremely uncomfortable. When he begrudgingly took our order he automatically assumed we would want tiki masala before even asking what we wanted. Unfortunately, that's a common thing that happens, so it wasn't surprising. We ordered samosas, biryani, and a goat curry. All were incredibly good. The employee continued to glare at us. Our drinks were not refilled. He did not check on us. We never received a ticket or instructions on how to pay. We eventually found someone (other than the guy staring at us like he hated us) to pay at the front dessert counter area. The guy who took our payment seemed nice enough. read more
