Chameli

I was in Dallas again and decided to give this place another shot. They specialize in Bangladeshi food, and I assume the cook is bengali as well, but the staff answering the phone spoke English and Hindi/Urdu, and did not understand Bangla. It made me a bit nervous, as I wasn't sure if the flavor would meet my expectations, but I ordered with high hopes. We tried the Dhaka Kacchi (Goat) and Chameli Kacchi.The Dhaka Kacchi Biryani was great--exactly what we were craving and something we haven't been able to find in Austin. Was it the best I've ever had? No, but it definitely satisfied our cravings and was well-prepared overall. If you're looking for authentic Bangladeshi-style Kacchi Biryani, this is the one to get.Now, onto the Chameli Kacchi. This was more like Morog Pulao with goat. I enjoyed it, as I love the aroma of Morog Pulao and hadn't had it in years. However, if you're expecting a traditional Bangladeshi Kacchi Biryani, you'll be disappointed. Only order this if you're in the mood for Morog Pulao with goat.Lastly, a relative brought us Chameli's Goat Biryani. It was decent, though a bit on the dry side. There was a good amount of meat, which we all enjoyed, but it wasn't anything special that you couldn't find elsewhere.Overall, the biryanis were pretty tasty, and I'll definitely be ordering the Dhaka Kacchi again.

Fast casual place. Probably busier during lunch than dinner. The menu is massive!! Seems like a mix of Indian, Bengali, Pakastani food. Will find something for everybody. They do have some suggestions of what to try at the register.Most entrees come up with Naan or rice. The menu seems up to date on the website.Got the beef karahi ($12) with Naan. I never had this dish before. Some of the beef pieces had bone, but only a handful. I liked it. It had a bit of spice but not a lot. Was not asked what spice level I want, so I don't know if they can modify it for you. The naan was ok. I didn't love it, but a change from the usual rice. I finished the whole thing in one sitting, but I was thinking I should've saved some for later. The only thing is they don't offer water cups and it's $1 for bottled water.The biryanis were a big portion. Don't think I could've finished that in one sitting. I tried some and it seemed ok.. but I don't think I'm a big fan of biryanis in general.They have wifi widely displayed, so I could see this as a place to some work for a little if not too crowded. They were also very accommodating for a large party. I liked it and would recommend to others.

This little gem is my go-to spot for butter chicken, whole tilapia, and my favorite biryani. Authentic and fresh. 12/10

Great Bangladeshi restaurant with a wide variety of dishes and very friendly owners! There is wide selection of authentic Bangladeshi dishes and delicious biriyani along with specials updated throughout the week. In addition to the menu, there are always samosas, sweets, and chai ready for a quick snack at any time of day.The dining room is very clean and the atmosphere feels nice and authentic. My parents have been regulars since this place opened and the quality has always been consistent. Great establishment!

Nice food and nice service recommend , if you want try same delicious food Whit your family

Ordered the night's special to go: pullao with chicken and potato. Pullao was OK, but only included two SMALL pieces of chicken, half boiled egg, and a couple chunks of potato. Portion size was for one person. Price was $16. I was unpleasantly surprised! Chameli can do better.

service is super good .!! and the egg curry and bhindi curry is good .!! I would suggest this place

First time at this restaurant. The place was nice and clean - that's about it. Over priced for hardly any food. Not coming back!

Avery authentic Bengali food. I loved the murgh pulao. reminded me of my moms cooking. definitely will come back when visiting Richardson!
