In the word of Huey Freeman, "Meh." The only great thing about my dining experience at Lahore Grill was the Bollywood love story/comedy that was playing on the restaurants TV. I wish I could have waited to see who Sanjah picked in her love triangle. This place was a ghost town. We stepped into Lahore Grill and I swore I heard the rustling of tumbleweeds in the air. There was nobody in there but my husband and I and the proprietors. In fact the man at the counter actually looked shocked that he had customers. I dont know why I didnt take that as some sort of sign. I guess the heat stroke and low blood sugar I was experiencing, combined with the quest for samosas and chicken tiki masala, made me hesitant to turn back. So, we step up to the counter and place our order of two chicken tiki masala and I notice that the chicken tiki masala does not come with rice and naan. This should have been the other clue that Lahore Grill was not the place to be, but again my mind was hazy and my stomach was on greedy. I mean isnt it like a law that all entrees at Indian restaurants come with rice and naan included?! Or is that just my understanding? *shrug* We placed our orders for samosas, chicken tiki masala, garlic naan, and plain rice and were directed to seat ourselves. Now one thing I can say is that the Lahore Grill does not push out food straight from the kitchen, there was a bit of a wait that had me thinking the food might actually be delicious. Wrong again. The samosas came out first and they were as dry as all get out. Seriously samosas are like the one thing I have never had wrong at any Indian restaurant. Guess there is a first for everything. Then to top it off the chutney and the mint sauce was all creamy. Ugh. After the samasos were done the rest of the food was placed on the table and surprise, the garlic nann and chicken was dry too. Wait, excuse me all 6 small pieces of bonelss chicken was dry. Yes, I counted. For $6.99 I should have had more than that. In general, the food was meh. Although spicy, there was no real flavor to the food. It just was blah. This is definitely not your mommas Indian food, well if your momma was Indian of course. My verdict is: Save yourself some trouble, and go elsewhere, unless you just want to kick back and watch some free Bollywood.

Deal Breaker!!! The other night was my 4th or 5th time I went to Lahore Grill, and each time has been pretty consistent with an ok taste value. The food isnt what I think it should be as a restaurant, it has more of a fast food, or cafe quality to it. My husband and I have been coming here because there simply arent that many halal restaurants, and the few around dont even have "ok" food. Recently, we had the Haleem which had a taste of the instant version that I could have easily made at home for less than $7, and the Biryani is good on the spicy side (yum), and the pakora and naan hot, sodas cold, raita and condiments all cold and fresh, temperature of everything appropriate. The environment here is casual and it sounds like they have some billiards, or at least pool, there is a TV playing bollywoods latest pop music, and a more private section which is usually closed in the evening. The staff is average but at least not rude, and I guess theyre relatively friendly. Ok, so with all of that being said, we noticed that theyre now selling ALCOHOL, which for me is a DEAL BREAKER, if Im gonna avoid the non conventional rest. like olive garden, etc. because they sell alcohol, im certainly not gonna waste my time and money going to this "ok" restaurant just because they have halal meat..seriously? Halal Meat and Alcohol just dont mix, at least not in my world, so I would prefer to have my shrimp alfredo at olive garden and not sit by the bar, then come here and eat their less than average food (although the prices are really cheap) to sit and stare at alcohol being served near by.

This place is not a restaurant , they dont know how to cook. Walked in and try to be friendly and tried talking to the owner but he was so unprofessional. I dont know how these people are running hospitality business. Asked him whats your special and the hands me the papers so called there menu and ask me to circle the item I would like to eat. The waiter is worst than the owner. I asked for recommendations and she is looking at my face like I asked her how to get to Mars lol. Seriously and then in the end we order mutton karahi and when the food came there was so much smell of the meat and was not well cooked. I m so sorry this place is not worth trying. I Travel all over because of my work and this so far the worst place. Stay away this place is not a restaurant.

The food was fresh, very well prepared and there was more than enough food for over 30 people. As with previous reviews, the food was spicy, but the flavor was very balanced and delicious. The price was reasonable as well. I arranged to pick up the food, and although I arrived a bit early, the food was ready promptly and well packed and labeled. Mr Ali was very kind assisting me with the different menu items ordered and the appropriate quantity (even though we had leftovers which well enjoy in the next few days). I also found the website very organized and with good information, as well as with a large variety of items in the menu. I will definitely use their services again, with dine in or with catering for a party.

It doesnt get more authentic than this. Great out of this world food.. its so rare to find food this genuine these days.. from saag to kadhai dishes to biryani and even the paratha.. Even plain old dal fry is so good - a dish in itself.. I felt like i was standing outside my grandmas kitchen.. O and the rasmalai and gulab jamun - its a fight to get a share from the kids.. The decor is so peaceful and not the regular dark ambiance as is typical of indian pakistani restaurants - very artistically done.. i havent come across something so genuine at all. great service.. warm people and best food.. So glad we found it.

Looking at following so many good reviews. we visited this place. Our expectations were really high. As Lahore is famous for its food and taste. But it was opposite at this place. We missed pakistani taste big time. I wont say that taste was "bad" but it was certainly not worth driving from buckhead to eat here. And prices are high given the taste. I have been eating in desi restuarants from quite some time now but when I came home after eating there food. I felt my throat sore. Wont go next time.

Probably the best Indian/Pakistani buffet Ive ever been to for the money. And thats saying something. I know my curry. The quality of the food is excellent. Rich, flavorful curries, tender meat, fresh naan... All in a lunch buffet! Im used to other restaurants of this style offering a meat or two and you have to go swimming in the sauce to find it, but not here. Lahore does it right. Even their vegetable curries were on point. I was completely pleased and satisfied with every dish I tried.
