First 2 Michelin Starred experience in Houston! (kind of)

Last night, two of Houston’s Michelin one starred restaurants teamed up for an unforgettable meal. and have put Houston in the national spotlight by earning a Michelin star for their respective restaurants. and both two of my favorite restaurants, so I could not miss on them collaborating on a menu together.

-Nihari Pozole
-Mushroom Galavat Choux, Huitlacoche Quesadillas, Tuna Tostada, Kacheela Puri
-Lychee Ceviche
-Nihari Pozole, again
-Paneer Memelas
-Seekh Kabab Tacos w salsa or chutney 4 ways
-Butter Chicken Mole
-Rasmalai Tres Leches

These guys are at the forefront of a new beginning for Pakistani restaurants in Houston.

After operating as a food truck for a little over a year, has opened their Brick and Mortar (while still operating the food truck) in the heart of Sugar Land’s Business Center. Between my first experience at the food truck and second experience at the storefront, this has easily been some of the best Pakistani BBQ the city has to offer imho.

-Chicken Tikkas
-Chicken Wings
-Daal Chawwal
-Garlic Mayo Roll

One of the most random side quests of my life was winning an Emmy with and the team.

We filmed an episode of ELAL where we explore the Pakistani food scene in Houston through my lens. Last November, we were up for a Lone Star Emmy.. and WON! Although my name wasn’t officially on the award, Chef gave me his Emmy to keep. What a guy. This is a big win not just for us, but the entire Pakistani community. A big thank you to and everyone involved for allowing us to put Pakistani food on a stage this grand. Thank you also to and for allowing us to film this.
