★★★★★ We were in Austin for a short break and came across this place near the University. We went back multiple times because the food was so good. Tried quite a few things on the menu, the chicken kebabs, the chapli kebabs, lamb shank, one of the meat curries and the vegetarian curry of the day (kurhi). The food was all excellent, it's a small place, and i think the owners wife does all the cooking (which explains why it is so tasty!). I would highly recommend it. If i had any complaints, it was that the meat curry portion was very small, and not much sauce was provided (we had taken this back to hotel otherwise i would have asked for more in the restaurant). So far, the best Pakistani food we have had in Texas (we are from Houston and can't find anything that even compares here)! Wish this was closer to us! Definitely one to go back to on our next visit!

★★★★☆ Lamb gyros and chicken shawerma were both delicious. On a hot and sunny day, some window shades would be a great addition to the space. We dug the owner as well. My only regret is there weren't places like this in Austin when we lived here. Posted on August 6, 2016 |

★★☆☆☆ I was visiting Austin, and I took someone to this restaurant who has never tried or tasted Pakistani food. This was his first step into a so called Pakistani restaurant and probably the last one.
The food that was available was OK, nothing special or extra ordinary as some might have suggested. But since it was halal and within reach, I'll give them a star. The problem was that very few items were available, and the bigger problem was the customer service and attitude of the person running the show. He was definitely rude when very simple questions were asked about the food type and their availability. I felt really uncomfortable with the situation. I have never faced this kind of situation before. Anyone else whom I have taken to Pakistani/Indian places have appreciated the attention and food quality. This was definitely a mistake.
They can survive with this attitude with the student population that surrounds them, however they are not getting my business any more and I would not even recommend to my other friends who might be visiting this area. Posted on July 29, 2015 |

★★★★★ Awesome food
Pure Pakistani owner Posted on March 25, 2015 |

★★★★★ Excellent food and the service was very good. The chicken biriyani was flavourful, the kebabs were very good as well, the green sauce/dip was amazing. I think there is definite good potential. Might be good to add a few more meat dishes/kebab options. Great experience both times I visited. I did not dine it but take out Posted on August 26, 2014 |

★★★★☆ The chalikabab was high quality and the owner was very kind and hospitable. Definitely would return! Posted on July 8, 2014 |

★★★★★ Ordered lamb shank w/ rice, chappli kabab, fish, chicken kofta. Everything was delicious. Chappli kabab was the best. Small seating area. Food was served in a timely manner. Posted on June 9, 2014 |

★★★★☆ The chapli kabab was really good. The lamb shank was not bad either. There will be a long wait and they can definitely improve their service or hire more people especially on a friday night. Prices are a little too high for me. Posted on May 19, 2014 |

★★★★★ All the food was amazing. We went there with two families - 12 people - and ordered all of the dishes, each item two orders and 12 naans - basically LOTs of food for dinner. Although its a small place and there are only two "homely" women cooking; they bring out all the food much quicker than i expected. Best part: All of it was amazingly authentic Peshawari and all of it was DELICIOUS! I am sure to go back there lots of times. Zabihaha Halal meat from Houston - Great option for us Muslims - and especially Pakistanis here in Austin. Two thumbs way up!!! Posted on May 11, 2014 |

★★☆☆☆ The food is decent but the customer service is way below par. The owner doesn't know how to treat the customers properly. I ordered a for to go 30 mins before and when I got there he started cooking at that time and made excuses that there has been changes in the kitchen. I have lost respect for this guy. Not going again. Posted on April 2, 2014 |

★★★★★ The Best Pakistani restaurant in Texas. Lamb shank and rice were awesome and would go there every time. Masjid http://nuecesmosque.com/ 2 mins walk from the restaurant. Just next to UT Austin Main entrance signal at Guadalupe Street on UT Austin campus next to the traffic signal. Rice is awesome kitchen run by people from east coast. The food is professionally cooked and is second to none. Posted on January 25, 2014 |

★★★★☆ Peshawari Pulao with lamb shank is going to be their signature item!!
Tried Chapli kabab, real good but a bit too spicy for my palate. Beef Seekh was good. Peshawari namkin lamb was awesome. Aloo paratha was great.
Seating is rather limited and crowded but owner, Sajid is mega friendly and given the fact that parking can be tricky at times, he even goes out of his way to help you park if you call in advance. Hopefully they will graduate to a bigger space and get a bit more organized. Will certainly recommend and return!
Go check it out...Austinites need to support new businesses with an open heart! Posted on January 2, 2014 |
