We ate lunch there and food was great. The manager Imran was very kind and made sure we were taken care of. Nihari could use little more spices. Naans were awesome. Chicken boti was tender and Paneer tikka masala was very tasty. We had rubri which was very good also. Would definitely visit again.

Visited the restaurant for the first time yesterday and asked the server for their specialty. They recommended the goat karahi and shami kabob qeema, so I ordered both. Unfortunately, since having it, I ve felt very uneasy, and my stomach has been upset, particularly after eating the shami kabob. Based on my experience, I wouldn t recommend trying these dishes.

Jazakallah! The beef seekh kababs and bihari chicken boti were incredibly juicy and flavorful. We thoroughly enjoyed the platter. The owner was very kind and even offered us a taste of their house special seekh kabab fry, which was simply amazing. I ll definitely be returning to try more dishes! Vegetarian options: Paneer Makhni, Bhagaray baingan, mirch ka salan, halwa puri, cholay bhaturay and many more. Parking: There is plenty of parking.

It was my first ever experience I enjoyed the food, service and surroundings. Although I visited this place before too but the new management here is super. They have switched to 100% halal which is a good news. Vegetarian options: For the vegetarian there is a big list Dietary restrictions: They don t have fast food Kid-friendliness: Plenty of space for kids to play and special care is given to them by staff.

I would like to start out by saying, please be careful when signing event contracts. The details of the contract, especially additional fees and cancellation policies, are not explained by the owner. After reviewing and selecting menu options for the event, the owner will immediately skip to the signing page. The original quoted price per head does not include tax or 18% service charge. Please read every page of their contract. Two days after signing the contract (and 3 months before the event date), I d called the owner to cancel the event due to personal reasons. And, I was told it cannot be done. Breaking the contract would have meant we pay a large penalty fee, even if it was just 48-hrs after signing. I was able to keep the original date, and was able to proceed as planned, but I was forced to select this location. Here is my event experience: 1. Food & Drink In General, food was below average. Chicken Tikka looked nothing like the dish it should have been. Vegetarian dishes were not flavorful. The only thing that tasted good was Chicken Kabab. I suggest you taste ALL your selected menu items before ordering for any event. In addition, soft drinks for the party weren t offered when dinner was served. It was done AFTER I reminded the staff about it. Also, water was never refilled at the tables. It was only done AFTER asking the servers three times. 2. Service The staff was friendly and willing to help once you engage them. I didn t think it was my job as the host to remind them how to do their job. 3. Venue Ambiance for this banquet hall is elegant, and as a host, you do not have to invest much into decorating this place. It is brightly lit and pictures come out very well. However, it lacks in other functionality, such as (1) projector (2) speaker quality and (3) clean bathrooms. A day before our event, we were told that the projector stopped working. The owner didn t do anything to remedy the problem. We purchased a table projector to successfully run our slide shows and other presentations. They have very old and outdated music system that is NOT reliable. Their bathrooms had an awful sewage stench. I had noticed this issue a day prior to our event, and was told by the owner that they will have it fixed. It wasn t fixed. We eventually had to put our own (timer) air fresheners which we d purchased as a backup plan. Bathroom lights were also turned off during the event. I had to go the staff to request their help in this area as well. Overall, my experience at LQs Banquet Hall was extremely disappointing from start to end. I will not be a repeat customer and will not recommend this place for your event.

We decided to try something new and local in Carrollton and chose LQ Tikka Kabab House. The owner was very friendly and helpful as we re not too familiar with Ind/Pakistan food. Prior to our food coming out, he gave us the Beef Samosas appetizer to try, we ll definitely order those or the Chicken Samosas next time. For dinner we shared the Chicken Behari and Chicken Karahi both were very good and flavorful with just the right amount of spice. We ll definitely come back and highly recommend this restaurant.

Just had the worst desi restaurant experience thus far. My friends and I went to LQ Tikka Kabab House in Carrollton for dinner tonight. After a 40 minute wait, we finally got our food. The biryani had no flavor, the boneless pieces of chicken were dry, the beef seekh kabab that they served are the frozen seekh kababs that you can find at Indopak, the paratha was too tough to even tear a piece and the karahi chicken was sweet and undercooked. The prices are fairly high compared to the quality food they serve. Extremely disappointed and wouldn t recommend anybody to go.

The food here is impeccable, and you will quickly realize you are being accompanied alongside a classically trained chef. Whether you are a local, or traveling through, you will find the most authentic Pakistani dishes here. By far, the most memorable dish for me has been their nehari. I highly recommend and encourage anyone in the area to try for themselves and bring anyone else along that would appreciate the most authentic south Asian dishes.

We came all the way from Houston to taste LQ tikka kabab house we were so excited to try there food, ordered puri, naan, Wahab qeema fry, beef pasanday, chicken boti everything was just ok naan and puri were so hard that we cannot even take a bite, chicken boti were tasteless, beef pasanday again was not tender the only thing that we like was there kulfi, I m sorry but we payed more than $80 for food and everything was tasteless, atleast naan and puri should be soft so that we can eat. The 2 stars I m giving is because the kulfi and Wahab qeema was good
