Sparks rising from a hot tandoor oven

Halal Pakistani Cuisine · Spring, TX

Sizzling BBQ, slow-simmered karahi and fragrant biryani — with hot naan and a cup of chai to finish. Cooked halal, served with warmth.

Rooted in Pakistan

Woodlands Cafe brings the flavors of Pakistan's home kitchens and food streets to Spring, Texas. Smoky tikka and seekh kabab from the grill, nihari and haleem cooked low and slow, biryani layered with whole spices — every dish 100% halal, generous, and made to be shared.

From our kitchen

Some dishes are about patience — nihari and haleem, simmered low and slow until they're rich and silky. Others are about fire — tikka and kabab seared on the grill until the edges catch. Both arrive with fresh naan, cool raita and proper Pakistani hospitality.
