I with some of my friends went there. We ordered Beef Tehari and Tea. It was really good though it was a little bit oily too! But, it was tasty. I felt like I was in Bangladesh. We ordered Beef Tribe (take out) too! It was delicious.

Ordered beef biryani for an event. This is not our first time. We always return here for all our catering needs. Every time the food is wonderful and we get lots of compliments. Great food and service always. Highly recommend..Photos from a recent event Beef Biryani, Jali kabaab and salad.

Long overdue review! It’s definitely a hole in the wall place and we stumbled across it during the Texas winter storm where everything was shut and we really needed some hot food. This place was opened and we’ve been hooked since. Love their tea, samosas and variety of kebabs. And their prices are so affordable. Been there countless times and every time the food is fresh and delicious!

Ordered a Muglai Parata here for breakfast and it tasted not even close to what a Muglai Parata should taste like. The eggs inside were very soggy and tasteless which ruined the entire taste of the dish that makes it special. My friend ordered their Beef Mezban and had the same review as me of it not being good enough. Place is also a little unhygienic and definitely needs some work.

The guy on the counter is rude with the customer and was using cursed word in his native Language when I asked to reduce the quantity of meat. They also need to improve the sanity and cleanliness of the place, it stinks and looks like wet market breeding diseases.

Review №7

Compare to the price, food quantity was very high. I have tried Morog Polao there. It was only 7 dollar. However that Morog Polao was nothing close to actual Morog Polao, rather it was a typical Chicken Biryani. Quality of this dish was average. Only good part was quantity price ratio.

They close the store at random times every day. Was refused food more than three times at around 8:30-9 saying that kitchen closed even though google says they are open till 10. Very confusing. Owner should look into this.

Hey reader, Im probably an outlier when compared to the reviews of others about this place. Talking about the small restaurant and not the market. Im quite the foodie but I know when you get your moneys worth.I love hole-in-the-wall places so decided to come here around 2 hours before they close. Got the Biryani and roast chicken.Took it home and realized that majority of it was microwaved? Tasted exactly like any leftovers you would have at home in the fridge.The taste was plain if anything. Rice was pretty good but the chicken lacked any enthusiasm when it came to taste.Customer service was bad but I wasnt mad about that. Ive learned that a lot of times when it comes to hole-in-the-walls and if they treat you like any other, the food must be good. At least I had faith on that impression.Eat here at your own risk or keep looking for something better.

Grocery store is nice. But was not so sure about the samosas that they serve. Could have been better. The adjacent grocery store is the real attraction for South-East Asians and Bengalis.

Halal grocery including beef, chicken, hard chicken, goat, and bangladeshi fishes. The head butcher - thomas is a very good guy. He cut pieces according to your needs. he also understand bengali. cafe service is average. sometimes old foods are served in cafe. they are reputable for large catering service, not good for dine in.

Being a Bangladeshi I’m sorry for you..😡 two days ago I ordered vuri & Bihari kabab but , the taste of food was too worst ... the kabobs was almost burnt.. if you don’t maintain your foods quality & also your dignity, you should stop your online services..

If youre looking for a hole In the wall that low-key serves one of the best biryani in DFW,look no further.The prices are a fraction of what you pay elsewhere but taste twice as authentic. I was blown away by the customer service. The only thing lacking is the ambiance but hey thats what a hole in the wall is. 💯💯😂

Review №33

I like this place. It is a modest space with three tables with a small restroom available, just in case. They have a good tea (strong and similar in flavor to indian Chai) for only $1. The food in general is super spicy and affordable. I had a dish for less than $7 and was enough for 2 persons. Friendly staff. If you are around the area and looking for something to eat this is a place def. worth a try. I came back with a friend and she liked it too, but said it was way too spicy...

This place is actually the best place to get food and grocery’s I love this place every one is so nice and the meat cutters are always excellent I have never found a restaurant as good as this. It tastes like a home style dish and they cook it right in front of your face so if you don’t want to add something just tell them. If you have a soul come here and try it out. And don’t forget to tell your friends.

This review is for all non- South Asian customers.Kindly don’t judge our food and flavors based on the awful food served at this location.Signature dishes of Indian Subcontinent like Biryani, Haleem, Tehari, goat curry etc is ZERO ON TEN in this cafe.

Ordered lamb chops, had to wait for 30mins, i think it was due to the huge catering order that was getting put together in front of me :)But i prefer food taste which was amazing, lamb were marinated right, for long time and spicy. And was super nicely done... good job on the chops but was not pleasant wait.

Review №56

Manager and the girls behind the counter were nice and thats why Im giving them a 2 star. But the food was simply awful. I ordered goat curry and naan. And my wife ordered chicken briyani. Nothing tasted good. Chicken briyani had no salt no flavor. Goat curry was nothing but boiled meat. The naans were store bought and they try to trick you by slicing them. Sorry, but were never going back.

Review №58

If you are looking for at least half decent Bangladeshi place, this is not your place. One of the worst experiences I had in DFW area. There is no spice or flavor in food. You just can’t mix meat and gravy with 2 lbs of rice and call it Biryani. It’s a shame. I hope the owner would take some steps to improve the place. I tried beef curry, goat biryani and Haleem, all equally bad. The best item was plain water, it had the right temperature and tasted good.

Review №67

Not sure about the food but service is awful. I went here at 9:20 pm because their business hours show that they close at 10:00. When I arrived I asked the person in the front if they were still open and she said No. I then asked why their sign was showing that they were open until 10 and she said; yeah we close at 9:00 we clean and go home at 10:00. What a dumb response. I then asked her if they could at least take orders to go and she just said no with a very rude tone.

My husband went to buy nan bread abt 6pm on 8/19/2019.The guy who wearing chase bank T shirt ( looks like owner partner/ relative) take the order. Firstly, he was not happy because my husband wanted a nan bread only.After 20 mins guy from kitchen asked me what do u want? I replied and shown that i have already ordered for nan and waiting. He told me to wait.After 10 mins the guy who took order , myHusband went to him at the counter and asked him can I pay by card because i dont have any cash with me. He replied very rudely NO and also mentioned i m not getting any profit to sell u a Nan bread. For the card he asked him to pay extra charge. My hasband agreed to pay extra fees.At 6.35pm after 30 mins waiting, finally he had the Nan bread.The reason i have to write the whole scenery to let other knows that how they are behaving with the customer which is unprofessional and also unacceptable.

Quality of fish is good. If you want to take small ruhu fish, that is the best place. But shop is not that much clean and organized. The person who is cutting the fish/Mutton/beef, he is only taking the bill and payment, time consuming done time.

Review №92

The pictures look delicious and so we drove an hour from frisco to buy teheri/chicken roast/ daal/ beef Bhuna/sweets/singara. At the end it wasn’t worth the drive. They used poor quality meat in everything and the teheri was too spicy! We had to throw away the teheri as lost the appetite seeing the meat quality. The shop itself looked old and there was bad smell from the bathroom near meat section!
