🔥Bar. B.Q Tonight

Pakistani BBQ · Houston
14838 Park Row Boulevard, Houston

The Houston branch of the famous Pakistani chain, on Park Row Boulevard. The one 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.

🍚Shivas Bar and Grill

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

A downtown bar-and-grill with a mild, easy-going biryani and solid chilli chicken.

Good different and mild biryani— FoodiesLane diner review
