But what if I don't feel like the Mela like atmosphere at Agas? Or what if I'm tired of heavy masala? I've got two legit options in Sugar Land - DDK and Lasbela. I've only tried them once, but the food was very very good. So was the service. And the ambiance was great, I would be proud to bring my bank clients to this restaurant as it showcases Pakistani culture (not in a tacky way). With Labela, it doesn't feel like you're going to another Pakistani restaurant- it feels like you're going to specifically eat lasbela. They are solidly in my top 3 Pakistani restaurants in Houston. Ehh top 4 let's throw Bundoo khan in there even if it is fake.

Since we were set on Indian cuisine, we decided to stick it out, and it did not disappoint. The food was absolutely delicious and packed with flavor. The drinks were tasty, refreshing, and complemented the meal perfectly. The service was also some of the best I've experienced in quite a while, which made the long wait much easier to overlook. If you enjoy Indian food, I highly recommend Aga's Restaurant. Just be sure to avoid Saturday nights unless you're prepared for a very long wait!

AMAZING!!! I have…read morebeen here a handful of times and finally convinced my husband and his family to try it for the first time. I joined the waitlist online before arriving because if you know Aga's, you know there's always a long line of people waiting outside! It took about 40 minutes for our group to be seated, but once we were sat down, the service was pretty quick and the staff was very nice. We started off with a pitcher of mango lassis for the table. It was delicious! It's basically like a really thick mango smoothie. It is pretty filling though, so I suggest taking it slow to save room for the main courses. I'd give it a 9/10 -- it would've been a 10/10 if it had been a little colder. The chicken lollipops are a MUST every time I go. The color is a little intimidating because you'd assume they're extremely spicy, but they really aren't. They're super flavorful on their own, but the side of chili sauce takes them to another level. 10/10. We tried the dynamite shrimp for the first time, and they were amazing. The shrimp were crispy, juicy, and full of flavor. 10/10. We accidentally ordered the wrong thing and ended up with the samosa chaat (not pictured). We were a little skeptical at first, but ended up pleasantly surprised. The combination of flavors complemented each other really well. 8/10. For the entrees, we ordered the chicken Peshawari karahi, chicken tikka masala, signature chops, and Aga's platter. Everything was great. For beginners, the chicken tikka masala is a great choice. It's a tomato-based curry with a little bit of spice. 10/10. The chicken Peshawari karahi was my first time trying it, and I loved the flavor of the curry. Something about it tasted very homey. I just wish they had a boneless version because it would definitely become my new go-to dish. 9.5/10. I didn't really get to try much of the grilled bbq entrees, but everyone else at the table really enjoyed them. 9.5/10. We paired everything with 1 large white rice and 4 garlic naans, which was enough for our table of 5. Overall, I love this place and will definitely be back! 10/10. Note: we did try the Fresh Paan outside, unfortunately it was not my cup of tea. But the floral notes left a really nice fresh feeling to my mouth lol.

As one of the most well known South Asian restaurants in Sugar Land, Mai Colachi has spent the…read morebetter part of the last decade showcasing their Pakistani flair in the form of ambitious buffet offerings and a menu that appeals to both longtime desi food fans and newcomers alike. The space has touch of modern vibes in a warm group friendly / community setting. The layout can be customized for large groups, but yours truly prefers the booths with a window to the outside world. (#1) The bathrooms are clean and the very enthusiastic Afghani (?) staff are a bubbly and fun bunch. One of their standout offerings is their weekly buffet nights and weekend brunch buffets, which regularly draws locals looking for variety and value. The Thursday evening service is street food inspired with chaats, nihari "tacos" and a mix of Indo-Chinese foods such as fried rice (#2) and spring rolls. The Sunday all day buffet is a bit more of my speed, which a number of curries, naans, and desserts. The spread varies from week to week, but it is generally quite good. Prices are standard and the aforementioned parking is abundant.

We ordered the goat, spinach, some chicken and some goat rice as seen in the photos.

I love the classic chai because it's not sweet and great ratio of milk to tea. You can choose your spice level on dishes and also note that all goat items have bones. The ambience is very cultural, colorful and peaceful. Quick service and comfortable seating. Our waitress was also kind enough to explain the different dishes and sauce bases. So don't feel intimidated and definitely come hungry! yummy!

The roti was soft and perfect. The chicken was tender and so flavorful. There were no parts missing to the chicken (what I mean is, the other similar restaurant in SL def gives less chicken...random parts of chicken breast missing...or the metal rod that the meat is cooked with happens to be so big that there's a visible gap and the meat is actually not a lot...and you're paying for the air...) We also tried the Bihari paratha roll. The chicken was SO tender and complimented the crisp paratha. We were checked on numerous times by the staff. The restaurant is spotless (including the bathrooms). The food came out fresh and didn't take long at all. The plates were even warmed which helped keep the food warm. I would come back everyday. The food is great and I would def recommend supporting this Pakistani gem!

I've heard a lot of great things about this place. I never had the food truck so I can only review…read morethe actual restaurant. In terms of cleanliness and seating, it was amazing. I felt the service was pretty poor. Our table ordered our food and drinks at the register and 20 mins later still no drinks. I asked a waitress and she asked me to repeat our drink order and we would get it. I'm not sure why I needed to repeat if I ordered already and have a table number, I'm sure she could have checked that out? It was also surprising they didn't have ice, but one of the employees was so nice that he went next door to get ice and brought it to our table. Lastly, the chicken tikka leg is the best menu item. As for the beef Bihari, chicken Bihari roll, and the beef seekh kabob, I was really unimpressed. The paratha is not paratha, it's actually puree. The beef seekh kabob is more like a minced meat. I'd love to see this place succeed and feel if they can correct part of the service and also improve on a couple of the menu options, it will be a much better experience.

The food was really good and I would definitely be back. Only thing is for some weird reason they do not have dine in, not sure what that is about because they do have seating inside. The gentleman who served me was very nice and soft spoken. I should have probably led with this but them prices cannot be beat Place is quaint and unassuming. Easy to miss.

Their nihari was served in a steel deep plate and served on a stove on the table to keep it hot! This was the highlight of the experience! They also helped us with our toddler, waving to him, recognizing that i needed the high chair moved and without me even telling them they came to help! Such hospitality, I have not seen in Dallas restaurants! Especially in Pakistani/desi restaurants! The restaurant was packed and busy but every server had a smile on their face!
