Shalimar in Austin

We dined at BBQ inn today and had a great experience. The food is delicious and they give generous portions. We enjoyed the falooda dessert just as much as the biryani. Our server Savitra was very nice and attentive. We will definitely be back soon!

I visited this restaurant and walked into a clean restaurant with a great staff atmosphere. Delicious food came quick and I did not need to send anything back. Many options for food and dessert. Truly a reminder of my days in Pakistan. A1!

I used to order their goat biriyani pretty frequently before. I loved it. Now, it's not as good for some reason. Last 3 visits were disappointing. Biriyani is very dry now. Last time the guy gave me someones order just because he was late. So, I ended up eating cold biriyani. I think it was the last time I went there. I'm not going there again.

We visited twice this restaurant 1)tasty food2)very reasonable rates3)good quantities4)good serviceOverall nice experience!

The goat biriyani used to be the best in Austin! But recently the quality has deteriorated constantly. To make sure that's not a one time thing, I have visited and ordered goat biriyani 2-3 times and have been disappointed everytime.I haven't tried any other dishes though and can't comment about them.

If you come to this place try the Chicken boti it was really delicious and the chicken gravy. The lady that served us Sabitra was really nice and helpful. Definitely recommend this place if you are in the Austin area. Food is good.

Bar-B-Q-Inn catered for my wedding reception in Georgetown, Texas during March 2020 and their service was phenomenal! Their setup was very well-organized and aesthetically appealing. Their staff provided a high quality of service to our guests. The food itself was very delicious, including the appetizers and desserts! We received many compliments from multiple guests! During this whole process of planning for the wedding, the owners were very professional and collaborative. We expressed our concerns for a few items (allergy, spice level, etc.) and they listened immediately. We look forward to visiting them soon! And we would highly recommend their service for your future events/needs.

best food in town Taste yummmyyyyy highly recommended <3

Best ambiance in Austin, Wide variety of dishes ranging from BBQ, Daal fry, Beef steaks, curries etc. curries and BBQ is highly recommended!

I went for the first time and the food was amazing! Everything came out fresh and tasted delicious! Pricing is very good and food is very authentic. I had a lovely server named Sabitra and she continuously checked up on us to see if we needed anything. In all, service was amazing! Will definitely be coming back again.

Had lunch here today. Food was amazing. Ordered the grilled chicken combination platter number 2 for starters and chicken Tikka masala, Goat Karhai for entre. Garlic naan was perfect. To top it off the lady serving us Ms. Savitra was so polite and quick on her feet. Overall I am definitely coming again. Also not overly expensive.

Came today at around 8:45pm Food is always amazing, love their butter chicken and veggie biryani:)

owsummmmmmmmmm taste best environment amazing staff

I’ve been a regular take out/delivery customer here since I moved to Austin. I used to tell my folks back home how original the Pakistani cuisine here is, until about a few months ago, “dhanya” started showing up in their Korma (Chicken and goat). To anyone who understands this cuisine, dhanya does not go with Korma. I recently ordered two of their family packs, the BBQ (especially Chicken Tikka) has been without salt for the past two orders I made. They’ve introduced dark orange color on the chicken, perhaps to appeal to a broader audience, but Pakistani tikka does not have such excessive coloring. I am quoting these examples as a foodie, as a cooking enthusiast, and someone who loved BBQ inn. Even after the new management took over from Tempura, the taste had actually improved. Under the same management now, I don’t know what has happened.If I am to eat Indian food from a Pakistani place, I’ll just eat Indian food from the so many places that are actually closer to my place :)

Throughout the US, several states and cities and I have never found a Pakistani restaurant more authentic and true to actual than BBQ-Inn.I can point out what platter or entree I ordered and liked, but the truth is that you can try ANYTHING from the menu and it will not only be good but will positively remind you of authentic Pakistani food.Its not fusion this and inspired by that, it is precisely what Pakistani dishes would taste like.I periodically go to Pakistan and "calibrate" my taste palette but now I can calibrate here in Austin, in the heart of Texas.

ow sum food quality and best environment highly recommended.......!

One of the best Pakistani restaurants in Austin. The food quality was nice and tast is excellent. They serve buffet and to order as well. Place is clean and well maintained. Staff is very courteous and polite. The prices are reasonable .

Amazing food with so many mouth watering items on buffet menu. Every single item was very tasteful. Good ambience. Great customer service, manager was very courteous and kind. We went late for dinner buffet, but still all the items were available unlike many other restaurants.

Good restaurant for lunch and snacks. We visited twice. Got good taste both the times. Perfect place for all

I just had my daughters birthday party there last night . We came from San Antonio because we loved the service and the food there. They rented us a hall for 70 people for an unbeatable price. All our guests loved the food. Specially nihari. The wait staff gave us excellent service. Most of all my daughter was very happy.

This place was so yummy! The service was very friendly and kind. There was something for the whole family to eat. The food was very delicious and there was a big variety to choose from in the buffet. Very generous price for the amount of food to choose from! Will definitely be going again!

Indoor Family sitting available, food quality were good, Deals and price range was good (friendly staff)

This place is a must go for any middle eastern food, every dish is perfect. This is the best buffet in all of Austin. Every dish is different in it's flavors and spices if you go I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

Feels like home ~It’s my first time here. When I first walked in, Han made me felt very welcomed. The food is very well seasoned. Taste amazing each bite. The brea were fluffy and crispy. There was music video playing I. The background. Reminds me of the same feeling when I am at my aunt or uncle’s place when we eat Vietnamese food and watch music videos. I will be back again with friends. :)

best food in Austin must try mouth licking food <3 love it
