Karachi Nihari & BBQ

Devoured the Beef Nehari, Behari Kabab, Lamb Pulao, and Naan at this amazing Pakistani restaurant! Nehari and Behari Kabab were absolute standouts - rich, authentic flavors! Lamb Pulao was good, and the tea was comforting. Value for money ✅. Loved the cozy ambiance with a cultural touch and nods to Karachi. Definitely recommend and will be back!

***I put my review last week and cannot find it this week. Somehow you guys managed to remove it. I’m re-adding it with video and proof of my purchase. If you remove this review again I’ll be re- writing it. I ordered butter chicken, garlic naan, and masala fries on December 4, 2024, through Uber Eats, and unfortunately, my experience was extremely disappointing. As a big fan of butter chicken, I was really looking forward to this meal, but what I received was nothing like what I expected. The butter chicken was watery, lacking the creamy consistency that it should have. It had no flavor or seasoning, and honestly, it tasted like watered-down vegetable stock with a bit of coloring. The garlic naan, while appearing fine, was also bland and completely lacked any salt. The only item that was somewhat decent were the masala fries, but that wasn’t enough to salvage the overall experience. It’s hard to believe that such food could be made without any care or passion. The disappointment was especially hard for me and my daughter, as we were both excited to enjoy the meal, only to find it was not worth the wait at all. I won’t be ordering from here again.

Travelled from far ,First time at this place , it didn't disappoint us . The food was super delicious ! The Gola kabab, the Bihari kabob and their signature Nihari was too good , it's hidden gem and a must try . Then service from Shahin was Icing on the cake . Thank you . Just one small suggestion , Pakistani food is eaten mostly by hand . A stronger and little bigger side tissue would be helpful 😂😛

Mixed reactions on this review. Simple down to earth setup and friendly staff... wait... just ONE serving staff on a weekend. So naturally delays happen. The naan was really good. The chicken bihari kebab was good. The nihari was below acceptable... the meat was really tender but the nihari didnt taste like nihari. Thats my opinion anyway. My dad felt the same.. nihari didnt taste like nihari. And we are nihari lovers. The flame under the nihari plate was a good touch, it ensured the food remained warm. The chutney with the salad was delicious. One thing that put us off as soon as we entered was the open mens washroom door with overflowing garbage. This is the first thing welcoming customers when they enter. Perhaps if the washroom door could automatically close, that will be helpful in case a customer doesnt close it. But thank you for keeping a hand wipe roll in the washroom. Most places dont have this. It was an acceptable first time experience. Whether we return or not, the jury is still out on that.

This is my second visit to Karachi Nihari and BBQ joint at Sheppard and Kennedy. I was pleasantly surprised with quick service but most importantly the amazing quality of Halwa Puri followed by traditional Karak Chai. Puri’s were cooked to perfection, both Aaloo Bhaji and Channa had outstanding taste. Though I avoid sweet stuff but I could not resist my temptations after having first bite of delicious halwa loaded with dry fruits toppings. Adil, the owner, came out and met everyone personally to find out if everything is alright. This is something very unusual with numerous restaurants in GTA nowadays. My first visit was a take out of Nihari, Behari and other BBQ items which exceeded my expectations and this is why I visited again today to get the same taste. Adil and his restaurant has been very successful in keeping the high standards consistently to expectations, which is what every customer, who love Pakistani style food, is after. This new place is my Number 1 joint for desi style food. I highly recommend everyone to visit here and taste the fresh Nihari and Halwa Puri. You will not regret it P.S. You must visit, for dine in or take out, before 1pm to get the amazing combo of Halwa Puri

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Karachi Nihari Canada and I recommend it enough, especially to fellow Pakistanis. The Nihari and Bihari Kabab were absolutely delicious, capturing the authentic taste of home. I also want to extend my heartfelt appreciation to the entire team, especially Adil, Amrin, Shaheen, and shef Shazia, for their exceptional service and warm hospitality. A special mention goes to their Namkeen Peshawari Karahi—it’s a must-try! Thank you for bringing such authentic flavors to the table. If you’re in the area, this place is a must-visit!”

I would rate this place Zero, if I could. There is no value for money! The female server wearing glasses was rude and unprofessional. We ordered biryani, beef bihari, and Nihari. Biryani had 1 small piece of chicken, and nihari had 1 small piece of beef. Half the beef bihari boti pieces were not fully cooked. The servers forgot to give us the menus, and upon complaining, they did not get back to us for about 15 mins. We complained to the chef when he came out. There was a family with 6 people who came to eat and alhtough there was room if they pulled together the tables but the server with the glasses refused to seat them down. The owner/chef was nice and replaced the two items. We came at 7pm on a Friday, wasn't very busy.

Amazing, finger licking good food. The small size of the place hides the explosive taste of the food here. The service is impeccable and fast. The owner personally comes over to check on you. The prices are fair and the food portions are reasonable. The fresh naan comes in 2 minutes. Great overall experience. I'll be back multiple times to try their other items IA. Thank you to the owners for an amazing experience. Moosa
