Kind of different, tucked on the side of the grocery store is a simple restaurant featuring Indian/ Pakistani food. For the price of a Big Mac meal you can have a combination plate with 3 items plus fresh naan bread. I tried the vegetable samosa, Hakeem (lentils with beef), and lentils with spinach (yes I love Indian lentils). All were tasty and the place very clean, brightly lit, and with an open floor plan. Place your order at the counter then take a seat at a booth or table and your food will be brought out shortly. After you have finished a server will bring the bill like a normal restaurant. I'll be back

I have been enjoying the lunch special in tge restaurant for nearly 20 years now, and it's as good as ever. Only $7.49 for to get three items from the many choices? That's an incredible deal! My faves are The chicken boti, karahi chicken, and either chicken or mutton byranni...yum. The new decor is a nice upgrade and makes the restaurant feel newer, cleaner, and more welcome. Still my favorite place for indo-pak food

Al Markaz is a place I like to go since it is always a safe bet. Good quality food that tastes great. And it is very consistent. I know what to expect - and that means a lot to me. The ambiance is okay, not the best. I'm not a fan of their Styrofoam plates and plastic utensils, but it's difficult to complain a lot about that when their food is really, really good. I have never met the owner like I have for other restaurants that I go to, but all the waiters/waitresses are super nice.

Its a desi super market with a restaurant on the side. They have a lot of grocery items. They should organize the store more. I ordered the Sunday special with nihari and naan. I would recommend calling ahead to place order. Otherwise, you can expect a long wait for the food. I would also recommend covering the items in the chaat are. They are behind a counter but many people are passing by in close proximity. One good thing was they require everyone to wear a mask. Otherwise, you have to leave.

For the first time I went there today, December 2019. They offer amazing taste in a range of Desi dishes such as samosa, karachi, Naan, etc. Super store is also good. The quality of products and prices are okay. Staff is cooperative and helpfuul. Recommended.

Al Markaz has been a long guilty pleasure for North Indian/Pak food at reasonable prices and very warm service. After the renovation, the ambience is much better. I'd definitely recommend getting a pitcher of Sweet Lassi for the table and Meetha Paan on the way out. PS: Meetha (and other) paan is cash only unless you purchase it together with groceries.

This place is a Dallas institution and a hidden gem. If you want good, home-style, north indian/pakistani food, this is the place. It's worth the price and the paper plate service. I've been coming here since childhood with my parents, and I haven't stopped!

Went there on Sunday morning to drown out guilt from the weekend. I partied too hard and drank two whole cups of whole milk the night before. I was amazed by the restaurant menu, seating, the energy and friendly staff. The grocery store on the other side of the building was a little run down and wearhousey .. they have a full restaurant menu, a street food menu, and sweet paan. All the classic in one place and it definitely gives all Desi people nostalgia. Loved the Nihari.

Great food. Just make sure not to order 1 hour before closing, you will end up with naans that are as tough as baguettes. Not made to order in that last hour. Also the quantity of food has reduced since March.....

Went to buy lamb meat. But they sell only goat so had to be content with that. The butcher was extra nice specifically asked what we need. No complaints it has lots of Indian groceries even has a food place. Didn't get to try anything so no comments on that. They don't sell lamb. Wonder why? Why? Prefer the one in Plano they got all the meats I need. But no complaints.

Stick with the grilled items. the Curry's are way too oily and spicy to the point you can't taste anything. Had the nehari, brain masala and beef curry. All three dishes had over an inch of oil sitting on top. Ate a bit from each dish and trashed it. No flavor!!! And major heartburn... The grilled chicken tikkah is good.Beef kebobs are amazing!!Lots of options for groceries and staff is always friendly. Plenty of parking outside.

Foods are great. The waiters are very cordial, too. If you are from Indian sub-continent, you should love their foods. However, the foods are a little expensive and high in calories. I recommend their BRAIN MASALA.

If you are in Dallas and love Pakistani food then this is a must visit. They have a grocery store. An area where they make quick chat - offering both dining on site or take away. The restaurant has open tables and boot style arrangement. There is table service and food is always quick and so good. Value for money. Their bihari kabab, Nihari and karai chicken is Soo good. Wheelchair accessible entrance and sitting available
