    Chicken Biryani, keema Samosa and Aloo Samosa
    Otilia C.

    My girls were craving Biryani and I didn't want to cook. Found this place close to my office so we decided to try it. Everything is made fresh so we put in our order went back to work and picked it up an hour later. Loved the chicken Biryani, and the big Samosa with the chickpeas. those were my favorites but really, everything was delish. My two girls and I did not stop until all the food was gone! Will definitely order from there again. Sorry, I forgot to take a picture first but remembered halfway thru my plate!! And yes, I agree, the owner is nice and personable.

    The food was amazing! Loved everything on grill. We got the combo platter and it was finger lickin' good. The chutney was delish. I absolutely loved the naans. The sesame seeds and butter on the naan gave it such a homely feeling and of course upped the taste a notch. The owner Rashid went out of his way to make sure our party of 15 were accommodated, and everything was so good. We all enjoyed the matka chai at the end, truly gave the dhaba vibes at the end!!

    Matka chai is a dohd Pati chai very served in clay mug very famous back in Pakistan

    I'm a regular customer here at Karachi Dhaba. Great snack options from samosas, chaats, club sandwiches, wraps, grill items, halwa poori breakfast and my new favorite the matka chai for dine in. Rashid bhai the owner and wonderful gentleman at the counter is very nice. Place your orders ahead of time since everything is made to order.

    If option of no star, i would. Selling few days old food straight out of fridge. Does not deserve anything at all, worst food, worst quality. Burnt food, burnt meat. Does not taste Karachi or Pakistani food. Do your stomach a favor and save ur hard earned money, dont buy from here.

    Went for chaat. My sister and I both liked the samosa chaat. The man behind the counter was courteous and respectful.

    Food was great and the workers were very kind. The samosas were a little smaller than I expected but the chicken tikka made up for it.

    My husband and I came here over the weekend for an impromptu date night and were so impressed…read more Food: 10/10 Ambiance: 9/10 Service: 10/10 We ordered the goat belly samosa, chicken inferno, lamb shank rogan josh, kachumbar salad, garlic naan, and lasuni palak. Every dish--except the salad--was spot on: authentic, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The chicken inferno was especially memorable, and the portions were generous. My only suggestion would be for the kachumbar salad to have more vibrant colors and fresher flavors--perhaps beets and carrots instead of the very chewy purple cabbage. I didn't try any of the cocktails, but I did have a glass of cava brut, which was served in a white wine glass and was a very generous pour. This place is truly a gem, and I hope they continue to keep the same recipes and portions because they've got something special here. We will definitely be back!

    This is a nice, upscale restaurant. There is a small bar area with a TV above it which can easily…read morebe avoided. They have lunch specials, a happy hour, and tea (!) from 2-5, veg or non-veg options, which I'm definitely checking out. If you're vegetarian, items that can be made vegan are clearly marked, and there are more vegan items on the website than I saw on the menu, so I would ask. Most of the French touches appear to be on dishes with meat, though there are flatbreads and a spinach dip, and of course dessert; there is a lot more paneer on the menu than I'm used to, which might be a gesture towards the French love of cheese. Vegans would do best ordering the soya chaap or from the Accompaniments section, which includes classic Indian items (aloo gobi, dal). Overall there are about 8 vegetarian entrees / accompaniments, plus appetizer options. Restaurant serves wine, beer and cocktails in addition to the usual mango lassi, chai and soft drinks. We got a ginger mojito; mango lassi; the corn fritters; the fig/pistachio/paneer flatbread; garlic naan; rice; the soya chaap and a cardamom creme brulee. In general, food had a blend of spices but was mild, which makes sense given the French influence. The corn fritters were nicely spiced with good texture and a tasty sauce. The garlic naan is quite impressive with lots of herbs and garlic. Unless you love soy cutlets, I don't recommend the soya chaap (soy/wheat cutlets in coconut curry sauce); it's fine for what it is - the gravy was delicious and rich - but it's not for me. The flatbread was interesting; the pistachios didn't overwhelm at all but I would have liked more fig to stand up to the paneer. The spouse was impressed with the mojito; the lassi was OK but wasn't as fruity as I like. The cardamom creme brulee is served in a wide ramekin, maximizing the surface area of the sugar crust and making it easily sharable. Instead of permeating the cream, the cardamom seeds provided little bursts of flavor, which was nice but not what I expected. Service was a bit slow but solicitous - we were there on a quiet Sunday night. Copious parking; easy hours; I'll definitely check out the lunch specials and tea when I'm in the mood for local Indian food, heavy on the paneer.

After…read moretrying several different dishes, we could definitely understand why it receives so much love! ATMOSPHERE: The restaurant had a casual, clean, and welcoming atmosphere. It was definitely a more "lowkey" experience, but it was a comfortable place to enjoy a relaxed meal. FOOD: We ordered the chicken noodle soup, egg rolls, goat curry, and tea leaf salad. We really enjoyed all of the food, but the rich and flavorful goat curry was definitely the standout! The tea leaf salad was still pretty good, although it was not quite as flavorful as we were hoping it would be. SERVICE: The service was exceptional from beginning to end. Everyone was kind, attentive, and welcoming without ever making us feel rushed. Our server was patient with us and even gave us a free dish when dishes were taking a bit longer to come out. PRICE/VALUE: Prices were pretty standard for the area and felt reasonable for the quality and portions. PARKING: Parking was easy and convenient with a large lot outside. Overall, this was a very solid four-star experience, and I would gladly come back for the goat curry!

There was no way I was going to be able to find a way through. I was on the phone with support when I dipped into a gully so deep that the water splashed over my moon roof. The chatbot spoke again, "I understand that you are having difficulties with a drop-off. Please describe your situation so that I can get you to the right department?" Just then, the customer cancelled. Whew! I had spent over half an hour in the extreme weather just trying to access their street. An easy forty minutes before that driving from the restaurant... then the thirty on the phone with support while searching for high ground. The order was undeliverable.
