"For excellent Pakistani cuisine and a restaurant super accommodating for groups, head to this North Austin restaurant. Must-try dishes include its goat biryani, beef nihari (slow-simmered beef), chapli kebabs, tandoori chicken, and its karahi chicken, tender chicken swimming in a tomato-butter-cream sauce. The weekend lunch buffet is a bargain, with deals on dishes including halwa puri, a sweet pudding-like sweet made with semolina or carrots paired with potatoes, chickpeas, and puri. Bring your friends to enjoy a spread in its inviting indoor or outdoor space, or order ahead online to skip any wait and take your food to-go. Best of all: Zaviya is open super late for any evening cravings." - Erin Russell, Sana Khan
