We really love the mutton marag here, which is why we always call ahead to make sure it’s available before driving over. This time, we called while on our way, and the person who answered confirmed that they were serving mutton marag and could accommodate our party of six.

We arrived within five minutes, only to be told by the restaurant staff that there was no mutton marag. They said the employee who confirmed it wasn’t there and had simply assumed it would be available.

Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time this has happened. It feels like they tell customers what they want to hear just to get them through the door, and then expect them to order something else. It’s very disappointing and creates a poor customer experience. We hope they improve their communication and provide accurate information to customers in the future.

Good ambiance. Lots of hookah flavors. Happy hour every day during specific time.
Only complaint is very slow service.
Recommend this place to hangout.

We recently visited Ghazal Lounge in Frisco and had a great time. The ambience is vibrant and perfect for a night out. We sat in the hookah lounge area and really enjoyed the overall vibe.

The hookah was good, and the music was really nice which made the atmosphere even more enjoyable. It’s a great place to relax with friends, enjoy the lounge experience, and spend a fun evening.

Overall, a lively spot in Frisco if you’re looking for good music, hookah, and a great ambience.

Beware when visiting this place.

Four of us visited and ordered one hookah, two starters, and four beers, yet our bill came out to $166, which was shocking. When we reviewed the bill, we noticed they had charged us for two hookahs instead of one, added a $6 “additional person” fee, and also included an 18% gratuity for groups of 3+ people.

When we pointed out the mistake, the staff apologized and removed the extra hookah charge, but the gratuity was still kept on the bill.

After speaking with a few friends, I was told that this seems to be a regular practice here — charging extra and only correcting it if the customer notices and questions the bill. If you don’t carefully review your bill before paying, you could easily be overcharged.

Two important points for the management:
1. If you automatically add an 18% gratuity, customers should be informed beforehand.
2. Any additional charges or policies should be clearly explained to customers before they order.

I’m attaching both versions of the bill for reference

Had a great experience at Ghajal Lounge. The food was really good—especially the chicken lollipop, Infero chicken which was perfectly cooked and flavorful. The crispy corn was fresh, crunchy, and very tasty. Overall, a good place for quality food and a satisfying meal. Would definitely recommend!

Ghazal Lounge is such a unique and exciting addition! The décor is beautiful with an Indo-Mexican twist, and I loved that they also have a patio for outdoor seating. The separate hookah lounge had such a cool vibe, and their house special hookah was excellent.
Their drink menu is fantastic — from creative mezcal pairings to classics like margaritas and old fashioneds. The food was just as good — the lollipop chicken was delicious, and I really enjoyed the variety of options like noodles, triple decker sandwiches, chicken quesadillas, and Apollo fish.
A perfect spot for drinks, bites, and a great atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Lounge 5/5 ; Restaurant 3/5

Visited the lounge about three weeks ago for the first time—absolutely loved it! Live music (Benny was great) followed by a DJ on Friday created an awesome vibe. The food jalapeno chicken, lamb chops, shrimp 65, crispy gobi, peanut mixture was delicious, and the paan raas hookah was smooth and flavorful, seems like one of the rare ones serving the flavor. Cocktails were great , they also serve Taj Mahal. Only downside was the seating it felt a bit cramped, with parties overlapping.

Went to the restaurant a few days later with some work buddies on a quiet Wednesday evening (we were the only ones there). The jalapeno chicken was still a hit, but the lamb chops didn’t match the weekend quality. Desserts were a letdown—tres leches tasted store-bought and soggy, and the double ka meetha was disappointing. As a new spot, they might still be working out kinks, especially with desserts. One annoyance, staff kept rearranging tables while we were there, which felt unnecessary with customers present. Lounge is a must-visit, restaurant needs some polish.

Loved the bar decor. And that's all that I found good about this place. The place has the potential to be amazing. A few things that could be done right.... Too bright for a lounge, the decor other than the bar is minimalist and not in a nice way. We wanted to try the Hookah, but the music being played was like it were a dingy joint someplace in Andra Pradesh. I'm sure there is an audience for this and we were in the wrong place.

My experience at Ghazal Lounge and Bar in McKinney was delightful. The ambiance was inviting, the service was attentive, and i had my best hookha ever. The food was okay. I particularly enjoyed their selection of cocktails and the live music added to the overall experience. While there were minor areas that could be improved, such as wait times during peak hours, overall it was a great evening out.

We were thrilled to experience this place during their soft launch! The food was absolutely delicious and bursting with flavor. The mutton marag is a must try. The hookah was amazing, and the service was top-notch. We were so impressed by how friendly and attentive everyone was. We can't wait to return!
