After driving along HW 6 in the wee hours of the night, I noticed a bunch of cars parked at the…read moreCITGO gas station and even eventually realized that none of them were getting gas. It turns out they were here all getting food from none other than Al Mankal Grill, a longtime bookmark and one of the gems of Sugar Land. They're in good company, as there are multiple Halal trucks, serving different cuisines and specializing in all kinds of food. The local following is impressive, but seeing as they have a perfect rating across different platforms, they're clearly doing something right. I ordered the beef and lamb chunks, a $27 (with tax) which had the perfect amount of char with just a hint of smokiness. Despite the price, I was floored at how delicious it was. The chicken shawarma arabi ($12) is a popular choice, while the mixed grill ($18) provides some variety between the meats. The chicken skewer ($6) and lamb with fat ($7) were both outstanding. The guy behind the window was friendly and dealt with every customer in a long line with ease. Credit cards are most definitely accepted and the wait for the food ended up being somewhere around 20 minutes. Unlike the other food trucks, they actually have outdoor seating with a few (albeit janky) picnic tables. This spot will become one of my most frequent when I'm in the area.

If you're craving authentic Pakistani flavors with a modern, vibrant vibe, Cafe Pyaala…read more(@cafepyaalahtx) is definitely worth checking out. The space itself is colorful and lively, with a fun desi-inspired interior that adds to the whole experience. We ordered a variety of dishes, and honestly, everything delivered: -Shinwari Chicken Karahi - Easily one of the highlights. Rich, aromatic, and packed with flavor. The masala had that perfect balance of spice and depth, and the chicken was tender and juicy. -Kebab Fry - Simple but done right. Well-seasoned, and full of flavor. Nihari - Deep, hearty, and comforting. You can tell it's been slow-cooked properly with a nice, rich consistency. Katakat - This one stood out. It's been a while since I've had a proper katakat, and this definitely hit the spot. Bold flavors, well-cooked, and very satisfying. Overall, everything we tried was delicious, fresh, and full of authentic taste. This is a solid spot if you're looking for traditional Pakistani dishes done right in the Richmond area. Definitely a place I'd come back to.

They were running out of chicken shawarma meat and charcoal wasn't operating properly so that is something to consider when reading my review.. the food was good, but just "good". It's operated by younger chefs and they managed to make the food taste like it came out of a Palestinan grandmas kitchen BUT the shawarma is not like the typical rotisserie shaved meat with garlic toum in flatbread. It has its own distinct flavor/ sauce/ style of cooking. The smoky flavor in the rice is exceptional, pretty unique! Solid hummus as well. If you want that rotisserie type, toasted sandwich flavor with a skewer of juicy tender meat on the side, hit up Al Mankal food truck, also Palestinan owned. They can't be beat. P.S. located in Moosa Colony, in the Chevron lot. Food takes time! I'd say twice the time/ estimate they give.

My favorites were the Wings and fries. They Halal if that matters to you. The Rest Room/CR having only one need attention regularly, and upgraded.

A solid restaurant for something to feed you at reasonable pricing. Great for dining in and to-go…read more I personally enjoy their mixed kababs with rice and hummus (comes with pita bread). Other honorable mentions: philly cheese subs (both beef and chicken, depending on your preference), beef kabab wrap, crispy chicken burger, and you must absolutely get their fries to share (or not to share, whatever floats your boat). Honestly, haven't had any issues with any of their entrees. Just a tip that fries actually are crispier if you dine-in instead of taking to-go. They also have catering service, which is great for when hosting for my Muslims friends and knowing everything I order from Busy Boy's are halal. I haven't tried their crepes but my friends love it here and always recommend it. There was a time over the Summer when I would randomly find hair but I realized it's one of the workers who kept scratching his head with food-prepped gloves. Haven't had any issues lately since then but just a headsup. I've been coming here for years and it's really a good option if you want food that doesn't take forever, halal, and just laid back atmosphere. Just please clean up after yourself to clear the table for the next guest. If you ever get a combo (with fries and a drink), I highly suggest the lemon-lime at their soda fountain but just try a bit of everything if it's your first time.
