Pearland’s Indian dining scene just turned up another notch. Dum N Grill, the Indian-fusion chain known for slow-cooked dum biryanis and fire-grilled kebabs, quietly rolled out a soft opening at its new Pearland outpost last week. The spot brings a halal-based, fast-casual menu to the suburb, mixing snack boxes and tiffin-style plates with weekend biryani specials. Diners can expect samosas, rice bowls, a rotating selection of curries and kebabs, plus signature drinks like Irani chai, mango lassi and a chikku shake.
An employee told Community Impact that the Pearland location soft-opened last Friday and that the menu is halal-based. The outlet reported the shop opened in late March and is serving a mix of samosas, snack boxes, rice bowls, curries, kebabs and biryani as it gradually ramps up full service.
Menu and where to find it
The restaurant’s online menu lists a broad lineup of biryanis, including Chicken Dum Biryani and other regional specialties, along with Indo-Chinese plates, tandoor grills, naan sandwiches and several weekend-only items, according to Dum N Grill. The drinks side of the menu backs up the soft-opening offerings, with Irani chai, mango lassi and a chikku shake all in the rotation. The chain’s Dum N Grill locations page lists the Pearland address and phone number for orders and also shows other open and coming locations, signaling a multi-city expansion that now includes other Texas markets and out-of-state outposts.
Pearland’s growing Indian dining scene
Pearland has been steadily adding South Asian options in recent months. Community Impact reported on the opening of Gurkhaas Grill & Bar earlier in 2025. Dum N Grill’s arrival fits neatly into that trend and gives local diners more ways to find regional Indian dishes without making the drive into Houston proper.
Dum N Grill is still in a soft-open phase, so hours may shift as the staff settles in. For the latest hours and ordering options, check the restaurant’s website or call the Pearland location before heading over.
