Great halal food spot! All the items we ordered (burgers, wings, pizza) were delicious! The burgers were juicy, the wings were seasoned well and were crispy/crunchy, and the Supreme pizza had tasty toppings. Of course, the service was great as well. We felt like we were tended to with care.

We went to World Food Warehouse in Richardson and the smells were so intoxicating that we decided on a lunch of non-American fare, so we ended up at BBQ King Express. We had been to its previous location a few years back and liked it. This new location is much nicer inside, more seating and cleaner. The move was beneficial. Most of the menu is Indian/Pakistani but they also have pizza and burgers, I guess for the kids? We started with veggie samosas and they were good but SPICY. The hottest I ever had. It did not come with any sauces but did have chickpeas which were very soft. The kid had pizza but the wife and I had Pakistani. She had the boneless beef Karahi and loved it. She asked for mild and they delivered. The flavor was intense and deep. The food can be incendiary so be careful. I had the chicken shawarma and really liked it. It came with a side salad and the rice was delicious. The shawarma was not spicy. Our server Zaib was efficient and professional. She got our order right and brought things immediately when we asked (napkins, silver, etc). The prices are very reasonable. We would definitely return.

I ordered the butter chicken and it was absolutely delicious. The naan that came with it was very large and tasty and it was more food than I was able to eat in one sitting. The staff was very sweet and one employee held the door for me when I was walking in with my hands full. You can eat inside or out on the covered patio. Highly recommend!

The staff was friendly and I really appreciated how clean and fresh the space is. I also like the music playing, as it's not too loud and really adds to the vibe.I picked a drink, ordered, and received my food in an appropriate amount of time. I ordered the daily special, which was Lahori Fried Fish. It wasn't too spicy and was as fragrant as it was delicious.

This was simply amazing. We had butter chicken with goat Karachi with fried chicken and burger and everything was exceptional and authentic. We are happy to have found this gem of a place. The place is clean and staff is very friendly and polite. We will comeback inshallah and try other dishes. Thank you

This is in between Arwa and Big Dash. It has a lot of random things on the menu. Peri Peri chicken, Biryani, pizza, gyro, shawarma..etc. Just seemed random. Maybe it's not.. Peri Peri chicken takes 45 minutes to prepare. I'd like to come back for that! The gyro plate was good. Tender. I liked it, it was different from our usual. Kids got a chicken alfredo pizza and beef taco pizza. Don't turn your nose up!! They were surprisingly good. I don't remember what husband had. Would come back.

I hate to give a Muslim business a review that isn't glowing, but my family's experience here was so strange I have to say something, if only to give the staff and management some critique so they can improve in the future. TL;DR -- Overall score 6/10 (Food 7/10, atmosphere 9/10, service 2/10), not coming back.Food: 7/10We ordered a medium cheese pizza, a rare ribeye steak, and kheer. The cheese pizza was a 10/10. The ideal hot, fresh, perfectly greasy cheese pizza that brought me back to my giddy childhood years. I intended to only eat one slice and ended up eating four because it was so good I couldn't stop.But things took a strange turn with the steak. My dad repeated multiple times when ordering that he wanted it rare. When it arrived, it was beautifully presented, sizzling away on a hot plate decorated with caramelized onions. The scent was heavenly. But when he cut into it, it was well-done. Brown all the way through. A rare steak should only be brown on the outside-- it should be predominantly pink with a red center. With the hot plate in mind, a mid-rare steak would have been acceptable (brown exterior with a pink interior and no red) since hot plates continue to cook food after it's been taken off the grill. But it was entirely brown.My dad has previously worked as a chef and is very passionate about cooking and very picky about his steaks. At any other restaurant, especially chain restaurants, he would have sent it back immediately and asked for a proper steak. But because this was a Muslim establishment, he ended up letting my mom, who likes well-done steaks, eat it instead.Service: 5/10When the server returned & asked how everything was, my dad expressed that his steak was overdone. She understood and expressed that she'd put in a complaint for us and offered to take it back or remove it from the bill. My dad said it was fine, he just wanted them not to make the same mistake with a future customer. That's when a man who I assume was the cook came out to speak with us. He was extremely defensive & tried to tell my dad that the steak was not over-cooked. When my dad shared that he himself was a chef and he knows the difference between a rare and well-done steak, the gentleman became even more defensive, asking where my dad had been a chef and continuing to deny the steak was overdone, to which even the server insisted that even she knew a rare steak "should be pink inside". At that point I realized I had never gotten the Kheer I ordered, so I asked about it and they offered to go & get it. A few minutes later the same gentleman returned with two other desserts & told us they had no kheer but offered one of the other two desserts instead. I didn't know what they were, so I said I wasn't sure which one I wanted instead. He then made the comment "But you're a chef's daughter! You should know more about food than I do."That was extremely disrespectful and rude. His tone was insulting, and the comment itself was nonsensical. All the desserts were South Asian desserts-- gulab jamun, jalebi, kheer, and halwas-- and I only knew what kheer was because I had been served it at a friend's house once. My family is White and Pacific Islander Asian. How am I supposed to know what an entirely different culture's desserts are just by being presented them in tupperware? My dad is an Irish-American. Steak is a fairly Americanized dish, and you don't need to have cultural knowledge to know when meat is burnt. I had no way of knowing what was in the tupperware he presented even if I had been told the name of the dishes since it's not my culture.I gave up and just asked the gentleman to reccomend me his choice. It was the carrot halwa, which I'd never had before. I wasn't a huge fan. It tasted okay, but wasn't what I had wanted or anything I was familiar with. At that point I was just embarrassed, put-out, and defeated, so I put my head down and ate what I was given.Atmosphere: 9/10Lovely family pizzeria feel with

I got a cheese pizza and bbq wings. The wings were cooked perfect and had the right crunch to it. But they just drenched in in BBQ sauce after. Too much sauce just ruined it. The pizza was really undercooked. It was just doughy and it was a thin crust too. Was hoping the pizza would be good but ended up being very disappointed.
I've seen this place so many time while driving by, that we finally decided to give it a try. We ordered beef shish kabab plate and the gyro plate. Beef shish kabab was good. The pieces were a little tough, but the meat was tasty. The rice was okay, as it was a little hard (the top). Sauce was okay. The gyro plate was really delicious! The meat was very flavorful, salad was fresh and crunchy, and the sauce added the perfect touch. Service was also pretty good. The owner came out to our table and talked to us about the menu and the food in general. He was very friendly. All in all, I am definitely coming back here again.for more food reviews, check out @alltheflavorsandtastes

Friendly service!For their evening buffet, all the options were simply delicious. Nothing tasted overly salted and best of all the food was freshly cooked.
