Kasbah Grill

While it may look like an old 7-Eleven from the outside, dinner at the exotically appointed Kasbah Grill in Irving may be the cheapest, quickest way to take your taste buds to North Africa. Moroccan dishes like lamb tagine with couscous and bastilla — think pot pie but sexier and spicier — share the menu […]

Katy Trail Station

Katy Trail Station is Kent Rathbun’s latest project. During the pandemic he started smoking meats and selling them at curbside pop-ups. Now, with this food truck adjacent to the Katy Trail, the concept has a permanent location. The barbecue we’ve tried so far is going to build a solid fan base. You can order meats […]

Ked’s Artisan Ice Cream and Treats

Ked’s Artisan Ice Cream Shop is serving more than 95 flavors of ice cream many which are inspired by flavors from the owner’s hometown in India. Ked’s offers an extensive menu of ice cream, waffles and crepes with influences from regions in India, Persia, Latin America and beyond. A fan favorite is the Persian Delight, […]

Keller’s Drive-In

This is a drive-in frozen in time. Classic cars and leather-decked bikers on the weekends share space with shiny BMWs and kid-choked Camrys. And all served by smiling carhops. The food is equally vintage. A plain burger is $2. The #5-a poppy-seed bun, double cheeseburger, tomato, lettuce, special sauce and grilled onions-is the most popular […]

Kendall Karsen’s Upscale Soul Food

At the end of a strip center under the shadow of U.S. 67, chef Kevin Winston is rethinking classic Southern food. What’s remarkable about the dishes at Kendall Karsen’s is their confidence. No, those baked ribs don’t need a sauce, not with their peppery rub and tender meat that comes off the bone with a […]

Kenichi

This Austin import has delicious sushi, an intensely varied sake list, and creative renditions of lamb, venison and duck confit doused with Japanese sensuality. The 1,000-degree hot rock lets you sear your own kobe beef, fish, scallop and shiitake caps right at your table (10 minutes worth of searing power, so eat fast or order […]

Kenny’s Burger Joint

Although the fries may disappoint (and you pay extra for them), Kenny’s burgers are thick, juicy and cooked just to the rare side of however you wish them done-which means the kitchen is proud of the quality and flavor of their patties. And they should be, for these are robust, meaty, flavorful examples of the […]

Kenny’s Wood Fired Grill

While the décor harkens back to mid-20th century steakhouses, the restaurant’s menu isn’t as limited. Available items include pork tenderloin with mango jalapeño salsa, wood grilled trout and even a Black Angus hot dog. The trio behind Kenny’s-Kenny Bowers, Bob Stegall and Mike Hutchinson-have created a rich environment with even richer food, where diners enjoy […]

Kessaku

Fifty floors atop The National building in downtown sits Michelin-star chef Danny Grants’ cocktail and sushi den, Kessaku. To find it, take the elevators to Monarch on the 49th floor, but instead of going to the restaurant, take a left into a hallway and head upstairs. You’ll find a posh cocktail lounge with floor-to-ceiling windows […]

Kin Kin Urban Thai

Chef Eddy Thretipthuangsin is back, this time with his own new restaurant Kin Kin in Oak Lawn. The first opened in Fort Worth and in the near future four restaurants will be open in the DFW area. The appetizers are good here, with beef jerky, chicken meatballs, pork sate and handmade dumplings all providing the […]

Kirin Court

Whatever the explanation, this Richardson institution isn’t living up to its outsize reputation. Superior dumplings – at places such as Imperial Cuisine or Jeng Chi – aren’t too far away. Even First Emperor, right across the street, has its merits.

Kitchen and Kocktails

The menu at Kitchen + Kocktails is packed with comfort food staples like Southern-fried catfish, shrimp and grits, and crispy fried green tomatoes. But don’t sleep on the lamb chops here, or the blackened-shrimp-topped deviled eggs, both of which are on a budget-friendly happy hour menu. There’s also an impressive cocktail game: Try the smooth […]

Kitchen of Kuchipudi

At Kitchen of Kuchipudi, look for a lunchtime bhojanam, with the choice of vegetarian or “non-veg.” This Irving restaurant specializes in Telugu cuisine from Hyderabad and Andhra Pradesh, India, and the bhojanam is a massive sample portion, much like a thali, allowing you to try tiny portions of eight or nine excellent curries, stews, chutneys […]

Kizuki Ramen & Izakaya

Kizuki Ramen is known for many things, one of which is the “authentic ramen experience” that is promised to customers. From start to finish, the goal is to craft for their customers the “traditional Japanese dining experience.” Kizuki’s roasting the pork bones before boiling for the broth, which comes in dozen of different flavors along […]

Knife

One of the best steakhouses in Dallas, this spot isn’t as flamboyant as Town Hearth, as party-centric as Nick & Sam’s or as old-school as Pappas Bros. What matters here is the meat, most of it expertly dry-aged to deepen the flavor. Live it up with excellent seafood crudos, oxtail ravioli, an old-school aged rib-eye […]

Knife Italian

This highly anticipated new restaurant from chef John Tesar is now open at the Ritz Carlton at Las Colinas. Tesar, whose Knife & Spoon restaurant in Orlando was awarded a Michelin star in 2022 and 2023, has turned his gaze to Italian cuisine, and all eyes are on Knife Italian to meet the expectations set […]

Knox Bistro

Too often we associate French cuisine with stuffiness, arrogance, overpriced fare or some combination of the three. Thankfully, Dallas has Knox Bistro to show off the best that French cuisine has to offer in a much more approachable fashion. Knox Bistro’s menu offers ingredients that aren’t at all complex but are so brilliantly executed that […]
