We had been to this place many times, we always enjoy food here with our whole family. Recently the management had changed, now its called Charminar Bistro, same great taste. We ordered Sindhi chicken biryani and Chicken Kadahi, amazing taste.

Please don’t go to this place. Yesterday we spend 188 dollars food. We order butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, chicken kadai, chicken 65, chilly chicken. Only chilly chicken or chicken 65 was good fromOur very first order after each order we placed was bad. Our friend have to taken to hospital at that night because of that food. My another friend had stomach problem. Myself have diahera. Please don’t go there.I don’t even want to gave one star for this resturant.

I was seeing if I can give “0” stars for this place. We wanted to try a new place and went there upon reading the existing reviews but looks like the management has changed. It was the worst food and customer service I have experienced after many years. They took so long to make “1” chicken and “1” mutton dishes that they recommended and upon service it tasted like some ready to cook tasteless food. Please don’t waste money on this place. Later we had to go to Desi District to reset our sense of taste

We love the customer service, people and food. Me and my husband just walked pass by and thought of trying something. We ordered plate of samosa, they said they can do samosa chat if we like complimentary. It was one of the best samosa chat we had. We will surely go to try other items on menu. People were were friendly and always smiling.

Food could have been better..I ordered these items for a pickup.Chicken biryaniChicken curryChicken 65The Chicken biryani hardly had any Chicken in it. Just 2 small pieces of chicken. I see a similar complaint from others as well in their reviews.The chicken 65 was too oily.The chicken curry was below par as well.NOTE - This place smells of CIGAR smoke. Next door is a Cigar shop and the ventilation is shared between the restaurant and the Cigar shop. So, if you are a non smoker, dining there is not an option.I am surprised how bad ventilation is not a factor in deciding the sanitary rating of a restaurant.

The worst food experience was yesterday the Sep 1. Hope I don’t get to taste such aweful food again. With the google reviews I got totally impressed to try this restaurant but it’s the bad decision I ever made on a tiring day.We ordered the below itemsDum ka chicken: salty oily spicy red colored chickenPlanner tikka masala: over powered by raw chilly taste with red colored paneer.Lachcha paratha: come on guys, I can get those frozen parathas from Indian stores why would we order from restaurantNaan: seriously it wasn’t Naan it was a flat bun.Romali roti: thank god I have had best roti already that I wasn’t fooled by that thick long bread.

Very good food! I'm originally from Pakistan and a friend recommended I try this Hyderabadi restaurant. Fahad was great at recommending food he thought I would like.Chicken 65 - 7/5 this is the best chicken 65 I've had in Dallas. Each bite has a satisfying crunch from the coated spices.Dham ka Chicken - 5/5 very different type of curry from what I'm used to. Fahad explained it as a peanut based curry.

I really had a bad experience with this restaurant multiple times , I had buffet and not even a single item was good. They are just doing marketing by showing lot of items in a buffet , but not even a single item is good ?

Best hyderabadi mutton dum biryani (family pack) in the DFW area!
The food was not so great! We ordered Hyderabad Tea, samosa plate and mutton biryani. The tea was fresh and tasty and samosa also delicious but coming biryani it’s tasteless and it has only 2 pieces of meat and rice was tasteless. I may step in for tea here but not for any biryanis.

Casual atmosphere, inexpensive to mederat price, simple menu & good quality food with a mouthful of taste, this is what I think Charminar represent. If we have to categorize Desi / Indian / Pakistani restaurants located in our City, this will be one of the best, if not the top shelf restaurants of Frisco. Do visit and try Dal fry, my favorite.

I am from Hyderabad (born and raised there) and so, needless to say, I practically grew up eating biryani all my life. And since I moved to US some 23 years ago, I tasted some great biryani here too. But, this has been by far the most authentic Hyderabadi biryani I've eaten till date in the US. Reminded me of the biryani we get to eat in wedding receptions in Hyderabad. Thanks much Charminar Cafe.
