    Fresh naan
    Karima A.

    Went here for the first time to dine in.. ambience is okayish and the food took around 20 mins to get prepared.. the food however, was just amazing!! Reminded me of authentic Pakistani cuisine!! We ordered chicken biryani which was spicy, flavorful and just amazing! The malai boti was tender juicy and served on grilled veggies! The nihari was just amazing and just the way we like it!! The naans were served hot and fresh! We loved everything about the food and will be trying more items soon!

    Incredibly satisfied with this Pakistani meal, which is very hard to find in the area now in days. Service was good with great timing. This is more of a casual Pakistani restaurant, not glitz and glam and no claim to be. The bbq platter was great for the price, and included rice (which was more like plao). The chicken in the bbq platter was incredibly tender and soft, fell apart easily. Same with the rest of the meat. The karahi was amazing and the nihari was good - not the best I've had but my American friends absolutely loved it. The only cons were the chai and mango lassi. The lassi was definitely made from frozen mangos that may have not been ready and the chai was just eh, but it's self serve so you can't expect it to be amazing. All in all, this place is definitely the spot for Pakistani food in Dallas. I will return. If they can perfect their chai - for example making it fresh - they will be perfect.

    As soon as I walked in, I was greeted with a smile. The lady behind the counter was very kind and quickly answered any questions I had about the menu. The inside of the restaurant is very clean and well kept. Plenty of tables to sit at as well. The food itself was incredible!!! I ordered the butter chicken with the naan and an extra side of rice. I also ordered the chicken malai boti. Both were equally amazing and full of flavor. The malai boti had a bit of spice, but even I was able to handle it. All of the sauces just added a completely new element to everything. I highly recommend stopping by and trying this amazing food.

    Achari Chicken

    First time here, ordered Achari Chicken with Naan and garlic naan! Service was quick and food was served fresh. Chicken was delicious and naan were good as well. They only provide bottled water service which you have to pay for!

    This was a good place. Pros: - The food was flavored well - not too spicy or bland. - it has tons of parking - the decorations inside are beautiful, especially the huge mural they have on the ceiling Cons: -It was pretty unclean, with some flies flying around inside - they serve food on cheap disposable plates that break easily due to how heavy the food was It's a cute place! Not something that stood out to me on our trip, but a nice little place to visit if you're in the area.

    The food is good and the service is fast. We got the chicken Tikka boti and kadhai chicken along with naan and tawa roti and everything was delicious.

    My brother made reservations for iftar here so we all went to try it out. The iftar is by reservations only and is buffet style. I have to say, that finally we found a place that has some legit Pakistani karhai. We have tried some other spots and the karhai wasn't up to par and we almost gave up on finding good karhai in the DFW. They had a good variety of items for the buffet and all of them were very authentic for Pakistani food. The place was very clean and setup nice and I really like their restaurant sign outside, it lights up bright at night. Gives it a very colorful and bright vibe. Even though it was buffet, we still had staff come over to ensure we are okay and if we needed anything. Service was great and so was the food. Will definitely be coming back after Ramadan to try their regular menu. https://youtube.com/shorts/Zm-9uJ_rdmA?feature=share

    Have been here a few times and over all I like this place. It is clean, bright and reasonably priced. Food is tasty, quatity is big and their naans are the best! Do try their sesame butter naan, you don't commonly get that in other places. The veg korma and kadhi pakoda were good as well, I wish there was less oil though! I also wish they would keep the chuneys/sauce bottles refrigerated. Service was what you would expect from a order-at-the-counter place.

    Mix Grill BBQ Platter

    Ordered their Mix Grill Platter which was very nicely put together and delivered. The quantity and quality were both good. They place a big naan at the bottom and rice as well as meat on top of it, so on a delivery order the naan loses its texture and crunch but if you're eating at the restaurant I am sure it will be better.

    Southern Spice is a solid 4 star Indian restaurant in Las Colinas, which is full of similar…read moreoptions, due primarily to great value. I haven't had vada pav sliders before but the filling is kind of like fried samosa filling without the dough. It's good. The serving size of the biryani was very impressive. You can see from the photo that they fill the container and then add another mound of rice on top of that - basically 2 servings (we took one home). And they didn't skimp on the chicken either! The chicken is cooked perfectly, the sauces are a great complement and this is an excellent dish. The Lunch Thali gives you a lot of bang for your buck and mine included ~5 pieces of fish fry, about the same amount of veg pakora, yogurt dip, chicken curry with rice, 2 different soups, a naan/tortilla thing, and a carrot dessert (like a halwa). All had good flavor and the soups have a nice spicy kick to them. However, since all the dishes for the thali come off the lunch line (ie all premade), the tortilla, fish and pakoras had been sitting out for awhile and not too hot. Had they come out fresh from the fryer, I might have given this experience 5 stars. As it stands, I'll probably be back for lunch anyways - and the thali is available 7 days a week!

    The restaurant itself is nice, the vibe is good and it is clean…read moreI only review chicken tikka masalas and butter chicken, and this restaurant is NOT the place to go for either. The flavor is off, as they seem to use coconut milk or something sweet which makes the gravy be as thin as water with a sweet flavor profile, which is just not for me. I would rate the Chicken Tikka Masala I had as a 2.5/10, which would be vastly improved by a thicker gravy.
