This place is a hidden gem… it’s definitely a hole in the wall so don’t expect anything fancy or even clean restrooms…(They cater mainly to the Indian and Pakistanis working at the wholesale stores in the neighborhood.) but the food more than makes up for it. Dhaga kabab. Very good. Beware it’s not for the faint of heart. Pretty spicy and loads of garlic Roti excellent !! One of the few places in town where you get these Fish masala excellent. My new fav here.

I really enjoyed this hole in the wall. The food was delicious, but some of it was very spicy. However, if you can take the heat, try it out! Other than stares from other customers like you’re an alien, this place is quite quaint. The staff was polite and got our food out quickly. Mostly bottled beverages, but most small places are like that. I’m definitely coming back!

The paneer masala was very good and my girlfriend enjoyed the chicken tikka masala. The whole wheat chapati were very good, but they were out of the paratha and samosas, so no appetizers or sides this trip. Rice is priced separately from the entrée, and the small is enough to make a meal for one person, with some to take home as well. There are no fountain drinks, just canned pop and a few bottled drinks. That means no free refills, which would have been nice. The paneer masala just as it comes, was a good bit hotter than I expected. It was tasty, but very spicy, a little more than I was looking for at lunch today. There are several vegetarian options on the menu. For the carnivores, there’s chicken, goat, lamb, and beef. There are halal options as well, if your religious practice requires that.

WOWWOWWOWWOWWOW! This place is truly as good as it gets when it comes to Indian or Pakistani food. My brother and I tried this place on a whim, and it went to my #1 Indian/Pakistani food joint in the greater Dallas area. I believe my brother was equally impressed. This place, without a doubt is a hole-in-the-wall. But like most food lovers, we know that’s usually a sign of good food. The owners are extremely friendly, it’s all family run. The go to there is Karahi Chicken for myself and Korma Chicken for my brother. You can tell that mom is the one whipping it all up in the back and it tastes as much! Tasty, very spicy, but overall AMAZING. I now eat here once a week!

Great little place that serves some fresh and tasty indian dishes. Fresh because they don’t make it till you order. The kebab rolls here are awesome! And the rotis(flat breads) are also amazing; they’re romali style — thin and large. Highly recommended! NOTE: Avoid the Meerut in Carrolton. For some reason, it’s not quite the same. The quality at the Carrolton Merrut is suspect and the menu items seem to be prepared differently(e.g., the kebab rolls are made with naans and not that great tasting). Why is this Carrolton location worse? I have no idea.

Hands down, the best Pakistani/Indian restaurant my family has ever had in America. We’re from California and we have tried a lot of Pakistani/Indian restaurants and this one blew them all out of the water. We got the beef kabobs, chicken biryani and boneless chicken tikka. Amazing. Will be back the next time I’m in Texas.

This place is the best kept secret in town, It is my go place for lunch. I love their Fried Keema and Nihari. You must try their Bun Kabob. They do not have naan but their ulta tawa chapati is the best. Staff is very nice and friendly. Prices are a little high on side for this type of food but still manageable. This is because they do not cut corners when it come to food, fresh ingredients makes all the difference. Also portions are big. It is small café in the heart of Harry Hines and gets busy during lunch time it is best to preorder.

Had dinner here tonight. Chicken tikka masala, chicken biriayna, goat curry and roti. All were delicious, freshly made, full of rich flavor and staff was very friendly. Far better than average Indian/Pakistani cuisine. Décor was basic, and even slightly run down, but definitely give it a try if your in the mood for great Indian food… not if your looking for enchanting ambiance.

I took out from this place. It smelled very yummy when I walked inside. Nothing to mention about the place itself. My alu palak was tasty and came with small salad and raita which were very good, however it was dunked in a cup of oil. So unless they can make food in less oil I am not planning to voluntarily sign up for a heart attack.

Absolutelyyy DELICIOUS! Stumbled across this HOLEINTHEWALL while shopping for furniture on Harry Hines… Soooo glad we got to eat here. Its not at all fancy or great looking on the inside, if we lived in the area, we would probably take out from this place all the time. Literally the BEST paki food i’ve ever had. The meat was so clean and so damn well cooked. We ordered chicken palak, chicken tikka masala and chicken boti. The chicken boti was fantastic– perfectly cooked and well seasoned– great grilled chicken. The chicken tikka masala was the same chicken boti chicken cooked into the creamy sauce. Yum. And the chicken palak was spicy chicken cooked in spicy spinach. Also great taste. The rotis were fresh and so large. Definitely only recommend ordering 1 – 1.5 per person. Can’t wait to go again if we’re on that side of town!

WOW! This place is great! I had the butter chicken and the chicken biryani rice and they were so good I didn’t even have time to snap a picture. With that said, the place could use a freshening up. Maybe just some professionally printed menus on the wall and a brightening up of the interior. Also, if you’re considering dining here keep in mind that they apparently make everything fresh so you’ll be in for a small wait and should order beforehand if you are taking it to go. This place is really too good to pass up based on looks.

This Indian/Pakistani restaurant is hidden Gem if you’re not from this part of the city. I found this place by pure luck, and I’m so glad that I did!!! :) The restaurant seems to be family run type… but, don’t let this deter you from checking this place out. The place isn’t fancy… but, their food is outstanding! Since I’m a Vegetarian, I decided to try their Aloo Chana,(Potatoes & Chickpeas dish), the dish was DELICIOUS!!! I would definitely would recommend this dish to ALL of my Vegetarian Brothers, and Sisters. In addition, I accompanied this dish with an awesome Mango Lassi,(it’s made with Mango, and Yogurt), very tasty, and it compliments this dish very well. Note: It will help the people that love spicy foods… but have sensitive stomachs. So, if you’re close to the North Dallas/Love Field area…, please do yourself a favor and try this hidden Gem!!!

If you’re looking for some hallal grilled chicken/kebab meat in the Love Field area, Meerut is a fantastic option. I got a chicken kebab combo that came with 6 succulent grilled pieces of white meat chicken(boneless), about 3 cups of buttered/flavored rice, a huge piece of bread that was kind of like a tortilla(not naan), and a small salad of raw carrot and white onion pieces. It also came with two small containers of a yogurty sauce. I was disappointed only by the sauce — it was too watery to even get to stick to anything. The chicken was amazing. Super moist and well seasoned to be a tiny bit spicy but not overbearing. Given the prior review of the biryani, I wasn’t expecting much from the rice, but it was also great if you like salty buttery things(hard not to). My total for the combo was $ 10, which I think is a steal. The location is in a little strip mall with an army navy store. It’s not a fancy place. They have some tables and chairs, and offer canned soda and water to drink. I got mine to go, and will definitely be back for a repeat performance.

Come for good taste, if you are in to looks then go somewhere else or take it to go. They do large orders for take out catering.

It is a small Indian/Pakistani restaurant just minutes away from the intersection of Royal Ln. & Harry Hines. It doesn’t have a extensive menu but covers all the essential ones to make it a good lunch selection. It has a decent size seating area, nothing special, with about 6 rectangular picnic-style plastic tables and decent chairs, and a TV with Pakistani channel playing. Tried their Chicken Biryani, had to say I was kinda disappointed for not that it didn’t taste good but it was not Biryani. Anyway, whatever it was, it tasted good. Seems like they mixed chicken curry with separately FULLY cooked rice… just didn’t feel Biryani-like. Also, the chicken pieces were very white and it was boneless which is very uncommon in Biryani and the presence of ripe tomatoes in the mix giving the mushy consistency was a big-no for Biryani. The amount of food was really a lot, good enough for two people and it was accompanied with great tasting raita-like sauce and the desi-salad: carrots, lots of onions and a slice of lime. There was a decent-size lunch crowed, seems like they have pretty good kababs and other items but Biryani not-so-much. With small size and modest lunch crowd, it felt like food items are made fresh here unlike most of the Indian restaurant where they keep days old curry-base and use it as long as possible. It also felt like it is a family run with helpful staffs and is definitely a nice option to have when in mood for Indian/Pakistani food.

Best authentic Pakistani/Indian kabob house in all of Dallas. Try their specialty Dagha kabob(beef) and you will be addicted after the first bite!
