Sometimes you just need good, home-style food and that's what brought us to Sunrise Karahi after a…read morefriend's recommendation. We went as a walk-in on a Friday night and got seated immediately, which honestly surprised me. They have plenty of seating and I loved the decor. It's very cultural and added to the whole experience. Service was a bit slow, but it seemed like there was only one girl handling everything, so I get it. We started with pani puri and wow. It's a classic but the flavor here was next level. Easily one of the best I've had and definitely a top spot for me. For mains, we got the malai boti grill and chicken karahi. My husband would rate both a solid 9.5/10. I'm a Houstonian though, so my bar for grilled meat is pretty high and I'd say more like 8.5/10. Still really good overall. Definitely a solid go-to when you're craving authentic Pakistani food but I'm in Queens so I have so many more to try!

They tasted exactly the same. I guess they were decent. But I was expecting more given the depiction of the dish on UberEats. The Chana Masala, Palak Aloo, and Kerahi Shrimp entrees came DRENCHED in what seemed like a gallon of oil, occupying 1/3 of the container which left the contents dripping, even after we poured out the liquid, rendering them inedible. Photo attached for reference. The samosas were good, and reminded us of the samosas that Mehak in Kew Gardens used to make. The naan was large and good, and the mango lassi was also refreshing. But the bulk of the dinner (the entrees) were quite underwhelming and left much to be desired, especially given what we paid for it. Perhaps when dining in-house they do a better job of draining the oil from the dishes, but they certainly don't fare well in transit.

Shirazi Karahi is a spot located in my old neighborhood and I've been meaning to try out their karahi dishes. I somehow managed to make my way here and luckily we got immediately seated with no wait time. The place was almost at full capacity. The dining experience has an elevated diner appeal with booths for families to sit in and some level of privacy. Their Karahi dishes are excellent with their house made rotis or biryani or both if you're down for the carb overload ! ... but next to Karahi dishes (they serve the food in an actual Karahi for that homely feel) their sizzling dishes are just as attractive...don't worry, once you get seated and waiting to give your order, you will see (and smell) the dishes coming out! It's a seated dining experience with an attentive staff, great service and the karahis/ sizzling dishes were on point This is the spot that's great for families, groups of friends , cousins, significant other(s) , spouses, side baes, or main baes.

The area is swamped with Bangladeshi, Nepalese, Pakistani and indian food and shops, and if you are out with a family, this may not be the place to go as there is absolutely no seating in there. This is strictly a take out place. The food is delicious, specially the chicken kababs. Their Haleem and Nihari also is probably the best in the area. The first time, I just walked in by accident just to see what this place was. After having a conversation with their main chef, he tempted me to try their Haleem as a taste test and the rest is history. From there on, whenever I am in Jackson heights, I pick up food from here. The cuisine and style is mostly from Karachi, the spice level is a bit on the higher side, but if you really want to exercise your taste buds, this is the place to go. Downside: Parking is tough in that neighborhood as it is so crowded. You may have to circle around to find parking at a bit distant.

It was (and still is) one of the very few non-Chinese restaurants in the area. I used to walk past this restaurant all the time. You could see them grilling all sorts of kebabs by the window. People used to just stop and gaze into their window. The smell of those kebabs just made you drool! Well, I tried their food one day and I've been hooked ever since. Phenomenal food here!!

Jackson Heights has no shortage of great Southeast Asian food, so I was excited to give this spot a try. They have dine-in option and plenty of seating upstairs while the downstairs is just for takeout and was much busier. The Steamed Chicken Momos were satisfying, warm, and well-seasoned. There was a bit too much dough for my liking but I did enjoy the flavors. The Tandoori Mix was a nice assortment of various cuts of chicken & beef. Many of the pieces were on the dry side but again, the flavor was there. The Goat Shinwari Karahi is definitely worth getting. The goat was super tender and aromatic and the karahi is fragrant and made well. It's super greasy which I didn't like, and it wasn't served with anything. If you want rice/naan on the side, you need to add that on yourself. Nonetheless, for ~$20, it's still a great deal. The Chicken Biryani was fluffy, aromatic & fragrant, and filled with a good portion of chicken. This was the base for the other dishes we got and truly paired well with everything. The portion was perfect for 4 people and at ~$14, that's an unbeatable price! I also loved the Sesame Naan which scooped up the karahi sauce so well! The Kashmiri Tea here is so good! The pistachios are well incorporated so you don't feel like you're chewing so much while sipping, and the tea is rich & soothing. It's definitely cheap comfort food and we left feeling fill & satisfied but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. Solid try!

Heard about how amazing they are for a long time and finally got a chance to try them and I agree it's the best indian food in the city. Nonfussy, homestyle Indian food with attention to quality. They make their paneer in house so you HAVE to get something with paneer. Specifically, their special with paneer-stuffed naan was a game changer with every single note - acid, sour, savory, salt, sweet, chewy, bready, hearty, buttery - it is everything and more. It was one of my favorite bites of 2025. The biryani is absolutely delicious too, with a nice crisp exterior and the meat was soooo tender (we got the dum goat biryani).
