Karahi – A brief History

The Karahi is often the first dish many try when exploring Pakistani Cuisine. Here at Karahi Point, we love cooking up the authentic version of Karahi plus a few others which are just as flavorful and comforting. A Karahi also known as Kadai gets its name from the pot its cooked in, a thick, circular, and deep cooking pot. 

Karahi Point’s top-rated Halal Restaurants in Etobicoke, North York & Mississauga is a great place to take a newcomer to enjoy the rich, delicious and deeply-flavored Pakistani dish that the South-Asian community loves, the Pakistani cuisine is what most Canadians in Toronto are just warming up to.
