This restaurant is a bit of a hidden gem. While the starters were whatever, the Karahi was absolutely 5 star. Not to put you off the starters, they were alright (just like any other Asian restaurant). They weren't bad but nothing extraordinary either. Their speciality is their Karahi. I can guarantee you will NOT be disappointed . I'm from lahore so believe me when I tell you, the Karahi was on point. You get a choice of having the karahi made in Butter, Olive Oil or Desi Ghee. Its probably one of best Karahis I've had in a while. The staff are very nice and polite. They give you personal attention to ensure the food you ordered is to your liking. If you dont like something, they will try to do the best they can to make it right. Great customer service.

What can i say... from the starters to the mains, to the tea, OUTSTANDING FOOD. The starters were grilled to perfection, i loved the chops especially as they had the fat around the side (man food!)nice n spicy, the lamb karahi 1kg in desi makhan is unlike nothing us brits have eaten in the UK and yes people it was LAMB, tandoori roti nice and crispy and tea was good old school doodh pathi, i cant fault the food one bit. Customer service was brilliant and on point, food was fresh and out on time and the owner was a very nice humble guy and made sure we was happy and had what we wanted. I will be coming back with the boys because as i said, unique food which tastes great is a no brainer.

An exceptional dining experience at a Pakistani restaurant. Warm welcome by the staff, cozy ambiance, and inviting aroma of authentic spices. They specifically mention their choice of Lamb Karahi, a traditional dish known for its tender meat and rich flavors. The balanced blend of spices and the infusion of ginger, garlic, and coriander are commended. The attentive and knowledgeable staff contribute to the overall positive experience. Highly recommending the restaurant for anyone seeking an authentic and memorable Pakistani culinary adventure. We’ve been offered a complimentary tea at the end of our meal, which was lovely.

Most tasty karahi ever and best mixed grill... the rotis were so fresh and warm couldn't stop eating....

We booked this place to hold my sister’s wedding dawat. We spoke to the owner and enquired about things that weren’t available at the restaurant initially. The owner managed to accommodated what we requested. This includes the stage, welcome drinks, centre pieces, dessert cart etc. The food on the day came quickly and was fresh and warm. Any left overs that they had were given to us. Everything was as done with honesty and integrity. All our guests enjoyed function and food. There were no complaints.
