Get ready for some serious authentic flavor and regional specialties. Enough introductions, let’s get to all the dishes.
1. Karahi
Karahi is one of the best of all Pakistani food and is very dear to the hearts of all Pakistanis around the world. For those who haven’t tried it before, “Karahi” takes its name from the deep circular, iron pan its cooked in known as the Karahi, which is often used in countries such as Pakistan, India, and Afghanistan. The metal dish is then used as its own serving bowl, sizzling hot coming straight to the center of your table.
Usually, a Karahi curry is made with ginger garlic paste, fresh diced tomatoes on high flame together with chef’s secret spices. Here at Karahi Point, you can customize your Karahi up to 16 different ways whether it’s chicken: Bone-in, Boneless, Dark meat or White meat, Fish Karahi, Kebab Karahi, Paneer Karahi, Goat Karahi, and Lamb Karahi.
The high flame style of cooking is what gives each Karahi its magic so full of smokiness and tender chunks of meat/ This is an iconic dish of Pakistan and one of our specialties at Karahi Point.
2. Chicken Tikka
We love our Tandoori Oven – we use every opportunity we get to cook our dishes in them; because the meats are taken to a completely new level of taste and look when they are cooked in Tandoor. With the Tandoori Chicken – you get your choice of boneless chicken pieces of dark or white meat marinated with yogurt and our secret tandoori masala and char-grilled to perfection is a delight to your stomach. Small bite-size pieces of boneless chicken are baked using skewers then the Chicken Tikka is served on a heated plate with a bed of sizzling onions. You can see more delicious dishes from our Sizzling BBQ Menu for more similar dishes.
3. Lahori Fried Fish
This is an epic, Insta-worthy dish that is delicious in every bite. It is light, crispy and crunchy from the outside while moist, tender, aromatic and jam-packed with flavors from the inside. One of our most loved dishes from our appetizer menu; Lahori Fried Fish is a dish we recommend you to start your dining experience with at Karahi Point. Lahori Fried Fish – Wild-caught Basa fish fritters deep-fried in our special light batter.
4. Chicken Pakora
Pakoras or “Pakoda” are a classic, all-time favorite snack for “desis” around the world. Our Chicken Pakoras are good on their own. But we have seen our guests at Karahi Point drizzle a bit of Mint Chutney and few kids have dipped them in Ketchup. Enjoy them any way you like to savor the meaty crispiness – these boneless chicken fritters deep-fried in our special batter really do taste as good as they look.
5. Nihari
‘Nihari’ originates from the Arabic word “Nahar” which means “morning”. It was originally eaten by Nawabs in the Mughal Empire as a breakfast item after their morning prayers. (Source)
Nihari at Karahi Point is a tender portion of beef slow-cooked in thick aromatic gravy. The slow-cooking results in consistent oozing and thick, so full of ultra-tender meat chunks literally floating throughout the dish and usually garnished with lemon as well as thinly-sliced ginger and chili that adds even more heat and punch. Grab a Naan and just dunk into this hearty dish.
6. Seekh Kebab
Legend has it that Seekh Kebab was originated when soldiers in an earlier era would skewer their meats on their sword and roast it. We continue to follow the same tradition with our Kebab skewers. This kind of kabab made by packing minced chicken marinated in earthy spices onto a skewer, yielding a bit more of a crumbly texture. Like all meat for kababs, it gets a long marinade, resulting in juicy and tender beef that’s very flavourful. Try the Seekh Kebab – Beef or Chicken available.

Biryani is a celebration of all that is great about Pakistani & Indian food – the aromas, the vibrant yellow colors, the fluffy rice, and those addictive curry flavors. here Tare several different types of biryani that you can find at our restaurant. Always served with Raita.
