Best Barbecue in Dallas-Fort Worth | Eater Dallas

"Owner Salahodeen Abdul-Kafi got into barbecue the old-fashioned way: after becoming obsessed with it. He quit his job as an engineer at Google in order to study barbecue and teach himself to become a pitmaster. The results tell the whole story. He’s created a halal barbecue spot that serves wagyu beef imported from New Zealand, which he determined to be the best, and sides infused with spices and recipes from his family in Iraq (seriously, don’t skip the cardamom banana pudding). Abdul-Kafi also built one of the most comfortable patios in DFW, which is covered for the summer with AC and heat, fans to keep the flies away, and the perfect embroidered cushions. It’s a family-friendly spot, with booths inside." - Courtney E. Smith
