🥥Saravanaa Bhavan

South Indian (Veg) · Plano
8908 Ohio Drive, Plano

The Plano branch of the legendary South-Indian vegetarian chain. Regulars come for the Parotta Kurma and the sweet pan, but it is the filter coffee that gets the biggest sighs.

Tasted like filter coffee in Chennai.— FoodiesLane diner review

🍖Khan BBQ & Grill

Pakistani · Houston
17001 West Little York Road, Houston

Some of the most authentic chapli kababs in Houston, with fresh naan to match — and a kheer that reviewers call homemade-good.

🫓Namak Indian Cuisine

North Indian · Dallas
North Ervay Street, Dallas

Downtown Dallas North-Indian. The palak paneer keeps it fresh and the garlic naan comes out crisp.

Very crispy and fresh— FoodiesLane diner review

🍚Shivas Bar and Grill

Indian & Indo-Chinese · Dallas
1001 Ross Avenue, Dallas

A mild, approachable clay-pot biryani plus proper chilli chicken, in a downtown bar-and-grill setting.

Good different and mild biryani— FoodiesLane diner review

🔥Bar. B.Q Tonight

Pakistani BBQ · Houston
14838 Park Row Boulevard, Houston

The Houston outpost of the famous Karachi chain, out on Park Row Boulevard. The only dish logged here is a chicken tikka, and the note left with it carries reservations we cannot condense without changing what the diner said — so read this as a pointer to the branch rather than a steer to the plate.

🥡Wok & Karahi — Halal Indian Chinese Pakistani

Desi-Chinese · Spring
3422 Farm to Market 2920, Spring

Desi-Chinese comfort food up in Spring. Order the sesame chicken fresh and ask them to dial the spice to taste.

Sesame chicken is very tasty. Made fresh. Ask them to adjust the spice...— FoodiesLane diner review

🧈Punjabi Dhabba

Punjabi · Alvord
4566 U.S. 287, Alvord

A highway Punjabi dhabba worth the pull-over for shahi paneer, karahi paneer and a spread of fresh naans. Logged by FoodiesLane diners on likes — no written review yet, so grab a bite and be the first.

🍛Hyderabad House

Hyderabadi · Irving
949 West Royal Lane, Irving

Irving Hyderabadi cooking that foodies have started saving on FoodiesLane. Early on the review count — a spot to try and log before the crowd.
