What customers say?

“ This is seriously some of the best Asian BBQ I've ever had. I can't believe I missed this place so often living only 5 mins away! The owner is Pakistani and extremely friendly. His tandoori chicken is one of the best I've ever had and offers a variety of grilled and street style good. Beef samosas are also amazing, you can't go wrong in this place. ”

“ I wasn't expecting to get a Philly cheesesteak from a Pakistani food truck, nor was I expecting it to come on a huge bun, but it did not disappoint. The bun was perfectly toasted and everything on the inside was even better. The Bun Kebab was also really flavorful and made for a great vegetarian option. ”

- David Wittman -

“ Got the chicken tikka and malai chicken wrap, both were amazing! Truly a hidden gem! A little longer wait, but the food is grilled fresh and absolutely worth it! ”

- Hamid Sediqe -

“ This place isn’t getting the recognition it deserves! The name Ali’s BBQ is deceiving—it’s Pakistani BBQ, and that’s what makes every bite so unexpectedly delicious. Everything was perfectly balanced—spicy and sweet. The wraps were crispy and flaky, and the mix of cucumber, tomato, and onion made it all feel surprisingly refreshing. Ali’s isn’t just BBQ—it’s a full-on flavor experience. ”

- Travis Spanu -

“ Amazing Pakistani food! BBQ platter was made to order, fresh, and amazing flavor. Ali and his family are great people too and I highly recommend going here! ”

- Christopher C -

“ Best BBQ platter in Austin! We heard it from a friend and wanted to try out. We loved it! Everything was made fresh and was mouth watering. I really liked the platter and seek kabab. Philly cheese and malai boti roll were ok but their patter is just awesome! Owner is a really nice person. I would highly recommend Halal food lovers and in general people who would like to enjoy Desi BBQ ! ”

- Shoeb Shaikh -

“ The chicken tikka legs are amazing. The owner is very kind and the food is absolutely worth the wait. Although, it only took about 20 minutes to get my food. ”

- Ann Macken -
