    Horrible people please read my screenshot post. This establishment is a disgrace to the indo pak culture! Will never host events or attempt to order food here again. They took my money but rendered no services just disrespect and ignorance.

    Chicken 65

    I was craving chicken 65 and decided to come to eat here after work. It's a nice place and the service is super friendly and great! It seems like it's a family owned business and our waitress was very helpful with the menu. The chicken 65 here is on the sweeter side for me and it was okay. We also ordered bullet naan, chicken tikka masala, masala fries, and zeera rice. These items were phenomenal! Will be coming back to try other items!

    I'm surprised at the low reviews. I actually enjoyed this place. The ambiance is great. Very clean and use real dishes versus paper plates other restaurants use. The prices are slightly high but I think for the area it's pretty reasonable. We got the Peshawari karahi (goat), butter chicken, and chicken tikka, and chicken corn soup to start. The karahi was slightly salty and oily but cmon it's Karachi style! Even the naan was good. Dessert was average - lab-e-shireen (maybe a bit overpriced) but presentation was good. Overall solid experience. Location is good. A nice touch, the manager (Nusrat) came over to make sure everything was good.

    Food was great, portions are big enough for 2 maybe 3. I did a quick take out order and left half in my hotel room frig because I checked out the next morning. Was sorry I had to leave it behind.

    2 Stars for service 4.5 Star for food 0 Star for Hygiene!! I was dreading this review because I didn't want to leave a negative review specially during times when restaurants are suffering the most! But now that the Covid cases are rising again I thought I'd bring this to their attention. We went there on a Sunday afternoon and there were no customer in the restaurant. When we walked in we were told to sit wherever we can, so we found us a spot went and set there. She made us some great recommendations and as per her recommendation we end up getting a karahi and fish tikka. It took them almost 45 minutes to bring us our food, while waiting for food I notice that the young girl at front did not have her mask on and the older gentleman who was in and out of kitchen (we were sitting right across so I could see inside) did not have his mask on while he was in the kitchen, however he would put it on every time he would come out in lobby! I really hope that they follow guidelines while cooking food inside the kitchen when no one is watching but I felt it was very irresponsible of the lady at front and this older gentleman. Now final part! Food, Grilled fish was one of the best I've had in Houston. Karahi was good but extremely spicy for us. I really wish them best in future and I really hope that their employees take all the precautions to keep their clients and themselves from harms way.

    The restaurant is very elegant and nice, not to mention the goat chops were delicious.

    I'd put this in the Houston Elite Pakistani restaurant category. Aga's reigns supreme, while…read moreHimalaya's crazy owner causes a significant decline in their service and even food quality. 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.

They ran out of something that they wanted but they recommended things for us based on the other things we ordered and they also suggested things that would not suit our taste palette. Sort of remind me of Aga's except the food quality is not as diverse and less busy (which may be what someone wants - Aga's parking is awful and it can be a zoo outside the restaurant sometimes). Restaurant is pretty spacious and bigger than I thought. Probably would never have to wait long for a table. My husband got the briyani; tasted pretty good but there was not that much meat. I believe I got the Murgh Bihari Boti and it was a pretty big portion. We also got some naan bread. Overall I would say the food quality/taste is better at Agas but I would definitely try this place out.

We had the family garlic naan I forgot which karahi but the chicken breast with a cream based sauce, mango lassi, chole (chickpeas), lahori fish. It took me this long to go because I kept looking at their prices and couldn't justify, but don't be like me and let it scare you away. The portions are definitely more than enough for 2. They are not stingy with their portion size. Looks like their weekday lunch prices are pretty decent so I'm going to have to go back for that for sure. Pretty much everything we had was great. I will say next time I want to try a more traditional tomato based Karahi. Family size Naan was $10 it's probably like 3 regular naan super fluffy not dense so it's easy to eat. Chole was perfect great flavor all around chickpeas were soft. Mango lassi was good but I think it was too heavy for me so I may pass on it next time and leave more room for food. Not sure what kind of fish they use for the lahori fish but the flavors were great, I feel like it should come with fries and I wish it was another type of fish but otherwise on point. The Karahi was chicken breast, really good flavor if you are introducing someone to Pakistani food,it's cream based so it's milder but still has great flavor. My bill was around $87 and I definitely had leftovers. I suggest not going alone if you are getting off the regular menu and not weekday lunch.

    Just WOW!! We were in the area to have dinner but the…read morerestaurant we had planned on going did not have a covered area to sit at, so we decided to try this restaurant and OMG! We made the right choice!! We had known about how good their nihari was and so decided to order that first! We also ordered their famous dhaga kabab and chicken tikka, along with fresh plain naan and puri parathas. 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! It was really good experience!

The one thing I absolutely loved was the chai. The service was disappointing. Despite having around seven servers on the floor, it was difficult to get anyone's attention. We repeatedly had to flag someone down for anything we needed, and no one checked in to ask how the food was or whether we needed anything else. The ambiance was decent. The restaurant was clean and the overall atmosphere was pleasant enough. Overall, this just wasn't my type of restaurant. While others may enjoy it, I personally wouldn't return.
