I love how the owner of aga's explained the importance of community, contribution of staff and ofcourse the charity work. What an amazing guy. Come on Houston, show that man some love. ❤
Aga’s is not a restaurant, it’s an Experience. We Houstonians are so blessed. Everytime you go there it feels like you’re home. Service is top notch, food is always 🔥 had them do catering at my wedding and blew away my guests and I sat with the owner Shaukat for finalizing the menu and he made our family so special as if he’s one of our long lost uncles in the family 😅 Our family is been eating here for almost 10 years now and are amazed each time. Even order from Ubereats all the time. Thank you to Aga’s hardest working team and to Shaukat uncle. If you’ve never tried Aga’s, try it yourself.
Respect from Pakistan
So many moments when my ❤ burst out with love n respect for d guy who was really into knowing our fab cuisine …. Bless him n his family friends wherever they are
Love this ❤ thank you for showing pakistani food and our culture, community. You are always welcome.
Pakistani food is the best food in the world, and I’m saying this as an Indian! Especially if you like meat.
And as a Pakistani I can say Indians make the best variety of veg food
@@AdnainTariq Who would choose daal chawal over beef pulao
@@slowknife2873 a vegetarian you pleb
By the way there’s only less than 13% vegetarian in India.
@@slowknife2873 nah bro I’d have my daal with beef Palau
Thank you for showing us local spots i didn’t know were close by ! Can’t wait!
He missed
Khandari Grill’s Pakistani Chapli Kabab
We are blessed to have so many great restaurants in houston with authentic cuisine.
what is khandari grill pakistani chapli kabab🤣 just say chapli kabab

The goat chops at Agas is to die for!
My guy actually represented really well!
Proud to be Pakistani 🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰👍🏼💚💚💚

Land Of Beauty, Hospitality, Foodie 🌺💐❤🇵🇰
Being a indian and globe totter 🎉🎉like Pakistani cuisine ❤❤it's amazing and very authentic 🎉🎉 love and prayers from Bangalore India 🙏
This was such a treat to watch. The Pakistani food scene is pretty hot in Houston. Part of the reason is that unlike other cities where Pakistani restaurants "tone down" the spices & heat to cater to a larger palette, Houston restaurants dont do that. The beauty of living in such a multicultural city is that almost everyone is used to a barrage of ethnically unique ingredients & spices. You can go to any ethnic restaurant, Pakistani or not, and you will find authentic flavors.
I saw you leaving Bundu Khan at the end. I will love to know what you thought of Pakistani BBQ.
❤Bismillah!! Great food, staff and excellent owners
Bismillah means "starting in the name of Allah"...Just the practice to start anything whether starting a journey, eating, praying, reciting Quran or anything in your life, we start with Bismillah to have blessing & help from Allah.
Great restaurants. Great restaurant owners. Great food. 2 great hosts. Overall, just a great video.
Awesome episode man, the food looked yum 😋
Pakistani food is the best and nobody can argue that.
Ma Sha Allah loved the name too
Y'all, it's some good ahh food. We have everything in Houston. Houston is the most diverse city in the country and our food shows it
Bismillah means to start in the name of ALLAH… i dont know why Mr Thadani didn’t mentioned that.
in the name of God, the merciful
Origin of bismillah1. shortened from Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Rahim , from Arabic, literally: in the name of God, the merciful and compassionate.
Most so-called Indian food is essentially Pakistani food, especially meat dishes. Indian was always used as a broad term because it's a recognisable term.
Only recently more exact terms are being introduced, such as Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Tamil and so on
Even in the UK, you know it's a pakistani place when you see a Palestinian flag.
Respect from Pakistan 🇵🇰
You guys are so lucky. I am so jealous. I miss my ny halal food. Have to visit Houston again.
Will order tonight!😋😋😋😋😋
How was it?
How was it
The Pakistani didn’t know the English translation of the word Bismillah which means in the name of God
I thought the same. Exactly! Clueless! He’s a Complete 🤡. Paki stani food has the worse hygiene!
Or maybe he did not want to bring in the religious connotation "In the name of Allah." Not for his guest but for the audiences
maybe he is a converted Muslim 😄
Reverted. @@bharatrajshetty5582
Obviously he knew, he was trying to explain in detail.
1:23 As an indian brought up in the midwest surrounded by zero south asians till university even I know "Bismillah" simply means "to begin with the name of god". Embarrassing.
Bun kebab & lassi is like your burger and shake 😂 now u say it I couldn’t agree more Lmfao
loved it
I like Aga’s brain curry and daal fry. Has anyone tried Bismillah or Burger Bodega? I need to see what all the hype is about?
Agha’s food is delicious, but Bismillah is delicious too. Their omelette keema is superb.
Bismillah is where you find authentic Pakistani flavors. Street food, Cafe food & every day Pakistani meal items. They have a wide variety of burgers, too.
Their Chaats, Bun Kababs, Chicken Bihari Paratha Kabab Roll, Hunter Beef Sandwich, and Tawa Fish Filet are the best.
@@sanansiddiqui the bun kabab slightly veered off the authentic didn't it? You don't put an omelette in between, the egg is sort of just a coating for the patty?
Booking flight for Agas right now. Houston we have landed 😂😂😂
If someone who's not Pakistani is watching nihari is the national dish of Pakistan
Love From Pakistan ❤🇵🇰
There are two types of typical Pakistani breakfasts
1 Paratha, omelette, pickle and tea
2 Puri, Chickpeas, Halwa and tea
Amazing
Awesome
We have been going to Bismillah like forever!! The best!!
Well explained by the host! Correct in english and urdu
Bismillah = In the name of God ( Allah)
Bun kabab Karachi style is my favourite
love Pakistani food, especially biryani
Larosh on w.little york and barkers is good.....
Someone get this guy a ticket too Pakistan meat heaven ❤
Pakistani food is underrated af. Man if y'all ever get the chance to eat Pakistani food, make sure to try keema samosa's with kabab, naan and chutney !
Its the best food in the sub continent
Bismillah means "in the Name of Allah"
It's not the environment which you're missing,,, will be available only here in Pakistan
Come asap in Pakistan ❤ wellcome
Reminds me of my days in Pakistan 😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
🇮🇳 india 🇵🇰pakistan food are quite similar ❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤
Busmillah Rest. Huston USA
Aga's is best
Having biryani using your hands is key
Pakistani hospitality so nice hospitality and food amazing food hair please your visit to Pakistan and Pakistani hospital is so nice, 🇵🇰🇵🇰❤️🌹🌹🫂🌹🌹👈👈👈
Abbas Dhanani comes from an already wealthy family , he opened Burger Bodega easily, not like those of us who come from the bottom
Pakistani cuisine is best in the world. So delicious and tasty.
Shuru karta hoon allah ke naam pe is meaning of bismillah ..starting in the name of Allah
Bismillah means in the name of God
Bismillah has the best burger hands down
I'm sorry but kulfi isn't an Indian ice cream, it's a Pakistani and Indian ice-cream.
He made it sound like it's Indian ice cream being served in a Pakistani restaurant.
There are dishes unique to both countries and there are dishes used in both countries, usually just northern Indian and Pakistan.
I am from Pakistan Pakistani food Pakistani food so spicy and crunchy please visit to Pakistan Pakistani hospitality so nice and loving and caring a Pakistani people loving for all world people hear 🇵🇰🇵🇰🌹🌹❤️❤️🫂🫂🌏👈👈👈
actually Pakistan and Indian foods are same when it comes to veg. but when it comes to meat, Pakistan have 300+ more recipes that you cant even remember them all. In Pakistan different regions different dishes, some dishes only use salt and sheep fat while other dishes uses 10-15 spieces
Indian dishes usually have more number of spices because they usually eat veg, and veg dishes tastes better while meat consisting dishes can have one spice or several depending on the type of dish it is. so this is why even the same dishes in India and Pakistan have slightly different taste.
😋 😍 😂❤❤❤👍 🍲
I am surprised how this comment section hasn't been filled up with those jeetu's 🇳🇪 considering how obsessed they are with us
Best Pakistani food in USA is in Houston.
Thats not biryani, thats pulao. Beef pulao is way better than Biryani in my opinion
Bismillah means with the grace of God..😮
Not the grace. It means With the name of Allah.
@Amy01k 👍🏻
Bismillah means ' In the name of Allah'. The thought that this guy couldn't say it straight out, makes me feel sorry for him.
Free Imran khan!🎉🎉
🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰
Bismillah means “in the name of Allah”. Not sure why Abbas avoided to answer this question. Be truthful and honest.
Pakistani food is to good 😊❤
Atleast visually matches the parsi food back in mumbai. So many parsis in usa but hard to find parsi restaurant in USA.
Get your facts right Parsi people and their culture food traditions are from Persia Iran.
Coz you're indian you dont have to connect everything to india 🤦
@@Some1Social i agree with you. We also have Parsi community in Karachi city. Persian influence is everywhere in southasia and we love that ❤
@Some1Social u can update ur facts. There are more parsis in India vs Iran. I can only comment on Indian parsi food. Gobsmackingly good. Now i got all sad confined to this cold air whereas I could be in Jimmy boy eating those delicacies served on banana leaves. I was just hoping to find some similar place in USA. Spread love not hate and keep the peace.
@@mosmae seems you need some historical education Parsi people are originated from Iran yes they came to conquer india so those indians have copied their traditions. I have only told you the origin of Parsi people nothing else.
Your useless rant wont change anything.
Himalaya on Hilcroft and 59, makes delicious Parsi food, but only for special orders and usually large amounts. You can check with him if he’s catering for a Parsi party and get food then. His jardalloo gosh, dhansak and curry are delicious.
This is more like a lahori restaurant ,thrkarachi food acenr is very different
Eat with your right hand. Left hand eating is a BIG NO!
Pakistani's should stop tag their restaurant as Indian restaurant
Don't eat Nihari with rice plz stop this is disrespect to Nihari rice is another dish
By eating paan you ruined everything
Biryani looks meh bro just hyping
I actually think Himalaya has the best biryani in Houston and it's not close.
I agree minus managment Himaliya has best biryani@@yasirshaikh1443
Agas is beyond overrated.
Not to mention, corrupt general bajwa and asim munir.
No it’s not. Best nihari I’ve eaten.
any of these joints owned by qadiannis?
Ahmedis and dalits too 🇵🇰🇵🇰😍👍🏼💚💚
@@mohsenkhan741 W Dalits, L Qadiyanis.
What stupid question
@@bilalbashir he is indian or crazy mullah 😂😂
Not pakistani...but afghan kitchen on richmond is so good
What’s the address? I don’t see any restaurant called Afghan kitchen in Richmond on Google
@@terebinmainSaffron Kabob?
@@SagarTrades yeah that’s in Katy and hilcroft. The guy said in Richmond and I don’t see any afghan kitchens in that area
In the name of Allah it mesns
The guy could not explain the meaning of Bismillah
Where is Nihari and Pay and chapli kabab
They don’t have Paya but maybe Chapli Kabab ..

Bun kebab was invented in Karachi Pakistan
Eat Like A Local at **Busmillah Rest. Huston USA**
I start with the name of God
OMG... What a horrible explanation of Bismillah. So right off the bat, I am not interested to watch further.
In the name of God, the merciful, that's what it means.
Bismillah means in the Name of God
