    We walked in and the place was empty. We wanted to order the special that was listed for $9, but we were told it's only available on weekends even though it was Sunday. When we ordered, we were initially charged $16 and had to correct them that it should be $9. We also ordered chicken biryani, paid, and sat down. Shortly after, one of the workers came over and told us they were out of chicken biryani. We asked for a refund, but they said their system doesn't allow refunds and offered to send the money via Zelle instead. It was a bit frustrating, especially since they had apparently been sold out of biryani all day so we couldn't eat that. On a positive note, the haleem came in a cute matka presentation. The staff seemed a bit unsure and mostly mumbled, but they were trying to be helpful. Overall, the food was okay, but the experience was a little disappointing.

    Feel like I traveled to the country when dining here. The food was great! I had: 1. Biryani 2. Chefli smash 3. Falooda 4. Mango lassi 5. Chicken kara 6. Garlic naan

    Masala fries

    I was really intrigued by this spot popping up on my Yelp when we were looking for something to eat in the area. When you walk in, the space is huge with plenty of seating. The kitchen is enormous, it is definitely designed for catering. Service was friendly and patient with our indecisiveness. We decided to try: Dubai Paratha Burger - two patties, melted cheese, grilled onions and jalapenos, between two paratha. Milder than anticipated but very filling. Chapli Burger - this was absolutely bomb. The patty was chapli kebab, so it was rich and spiced and loaded with minced herbs and veggies. Add the red onion, jalapenos, and chutney, it was spicy, complex, and delicious. Masala Fries - Just fries, but completely coated in masala spice blend. So delicious. I definitely recommend obliging your curiosity and considering trying this spot out!

    If you come here, stick to the traditional specialties! The Nihari, Haleem, and Chana were incredibly flavorful and tasted amazing with the fresh Naan. The BBQ items (tried the chicken tikka and chapli kabab) were just okay tonight and didn't quite live up to the curries. Beef Dhaga kabob and Malai boneless Chicken 10 pcs skewer was perfectly balance and flavorful. On the plus side, the place is very spacious inside and there is plenty of hassle-free parking. Definitely worth a visit for the rich curries!

    Karachi BBQ tonight provides some amazing Pakistani barbecue dishes right off the 91 freeway in Bellflower/Lawndale. They're located in a strip mall off the freeway with ample parking and plenty of seating inside. Their interior has a nice mural of traditional Pakistani life and sites as well as famous LA locations/people. We ordered the behari kabab, chicken tikka leg and thigh, nihari, and plenty of naan. We were pleasantly surprised to see them selling nihari, which for now is part of their limited time menu. The behari kabab was amazing, literally melts in your mouth with every bite, and pairs well with both their chutneys. The chicken tikka was well seasoned and had a nice smokey flavor. The nihari had a generous portion size and was very flavorful, and loaded with beef. One thing I really liked about this place was all the food was made to order, including the naan, which were pipping hot and crispy. One thing which would make this place even better would be to offer lassi or falooda options. This was a delicious meal and a great alternative to bundoo khan for LA natives looking for another halal option!

    I'm still thinking about the chapli kabob, falooda, and the naan. The naan was definitely the best i've had in LA. Very doughy and pillowy. This place is not the same thing as the one in Karachi but it's still so good with its own menu items. I need to come back to try their dubai burger!

    The wife and I were very excited to try this place out. We ordered the chicken Tikka and also the chicken Malai and this is what we received. The picture is of the Malai . They charge $14.99 for this plate with no sides. It doesn't even look like what they jave pictured in the restaurant. I don't feel that this warrants a $14 dollar price. I don't think I will be going back.

    The place: Great spot to bring the family! Lots of parking and long tables to accommodate large families. Clean space with plates, napkins and settings/utensils available easily as well as to go boxes. This is a big convenience. Decor - Awesome mural of Karachi on the wall evokes memories of childhood. Other side has framed photos of various sites. Across from the main wall is the cooking area where you can see the culinary artists at work. Food: This is what we're here for! We got a variety of selection choices to taste the menu to cover a few areas of whats on offer here - Dubai Smashburger - a pretty good spin on the traditional burger, with tastes of Pakistani cooking coming through clearly in the patties, but accentuated with American cheese and burger sauce. Patties were a little overdone, but not too much. Paratha was great! Well caramelized onions elevates the flavor profile. Chicken tikka and beef seekh kabab - perfect quality, excellent taste and fair portions. Paired with Naan...and you got exactly what you want. Naan - deserves its own section. Lots of ppl dont get this right. Either its too thin or it's burnt. These guys have well cooked puffy naan and good naan just takes desi food to the next level. Biryani - authentic flavors of spices and plenty of rice and chicken and cooked-through potato. Places typically have either overdone rice or undercooked potatoes and this place was able to avoid both mistakes. Masala fries - shoestring fries fried to perfection with masala sprinkled on top. What more do you need? Things to improve: Maybe serve dishes with plenty of red onion, cucumber and raita/yogurt on the side as most desi definitely want chuchumer or salad with their BBQ/tandoori. Will definitely be coming back and bringing family & friends!

    Wow, wow, wow! The reviews speak for themselves. If you're looking for an authentic barbecue Pakistani restaurant, this beats every single one of them in all of Orange County. It's a little hidden gem that open just a month ago. It's got plenty of seating inside with the open kitchen layout. The aroma of the food being cooked can be smelt within the restaurant and make sure you even hungrier. This is a family own business, and a father does a lot of catering and has a kitchen literally opposite side of the restaurant. I am so impressed with the place. As I walked in, I was greeted right away by the Owner Son who helped guide me on the top selling items, but I couldn't help but get one of almost everything .

    We visited Karachi BBQ on the night of their soft launch and decided to go all in--we ordered everything on the menu, from Gola Kebabs and Chicken Tikka to the standout Chapli Kebabs and Karahi. Let me just say: the Chapli Kebabs were out of this world--juicy, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. The Chicken Karahi was equally impressive, rich in flavor and cooked to perfection. But the real surprise? The Naan. So fresh, pillowy, and hot off the tandoor--it's easily some of the best I've had in the city. The place is new, but if this first night is any indication, Karachi BBQ is going to become a go-to spot for anyone craving authentic Pakistani BBQ. Can't wait to go back. Service was fantastic as well! Food came out fast.

    This place is like a wow Walking into Karachi BBQ Tonite feels like stepping into the streets of Karachi--smoke in the air, grills fired up, and bold desi flavors everywhere. The seekh kababs are juicy, the malai boti melts in your mouth, and the bihari boti is packed with smoky heat. Fresh naan, creamy raita, and a strong chai tie it all together. Fast service, generous portions, and real flavor. This spot hits

    So i am a bit confused about the photos here, because there is an actual restaurant looking place,…read moresome little cart and a food truck. Hopefully they are all related. My review is based on the food truck. It was my son's birthday. He was allowed to chose anything he wanted for dinner. Any price point... anything. Well i had seen this on Instagram and shared it with him two weeks prior. At first he wanted to go to Nobu or there were a few other high end options, but that is not his style honestly. Luckily, he remembered the post that I shared. He wanted to go here. Well, buckle up kids, we are going on a field trip! We left work/schools early and took a drive to Compton. When our navigation said we had arrived it suggested we park in the lot across from the library. Ok. There directly in front of the library was the food truck. There was a small line, so that was ideal. Not a long wait. My other smaller human and i went to wash their hands in the library. When i came out he had ordered the hungry man or something. It was more than enough for us. The oxtail was good. The ribs were good. The chicken was good. The cornbread was yummy. Just not over the moon for the greens... and i loooove collard greens. But that's ok. We went for the meats. They were out of the dinosaur ribs, so maybe if we go early enough next time, we can try those. We took it across the street to the park and ate and that was enough time for the small one to also play to get energy out before we headed home. The drive home was long, now that rush hour traffic had started. But none of us complained, because the meal was worth it.

I've been here a few times before, mainly for the sides, but after this experience I honestly don't know if I'll return. I ordered a lunch chicken plate and was never told it would take over 40 minutes. Had I known, I either wouldn't have ordered or would have asked for a refund much sooner. Meanwhile, customer after customer who ordered after me received their food before I did. When I finally got my order, there was no apology or acknowledgment of the delay. I asked if there was anything they could do for the inconvenience, and the only thing offered was a free slushy. I don't even drink soda. A side dish or something more thoughtful would have made more sense. To make matters worse, when I got home, the chicken portion was very small and the two sides were tiny about the size of dressing cups. It's disappointing because I actually do like their flavors, but good food only goes so far when the customer service experience is this poor.

It was rich, flavorful, and actually tasted homemade. The BBQ was impressive, smoky, tender, and seasoned just right. I really enjoyed it. The chicken was juicy and full of flavor. Good BBQ is hard to find in LA, but this spot gives you that "Dad or your uncle in the backyard on the grill" kind of vibe. Real, comforting, home-style food. Stop by and support a brother!
