Karachi Cuisine - London

On May 17th, 2023, my wife and I had the pleasure of having lunch at Karachi Cuisine. The food was delicious and the service was top-notch. Nofil, our server, was a delight and his customer service skills were commendable. A restaurant's reputation is built on the lasting memory of the customer experience, long after the taste of the food fades away.

Very delicious food. Excellent choice of variety in buffet. I will be recommending. Very beautiful atmosphere

Excellent food! 10/10 Always had an excellent meal experience in karachi cuisine. Highly recommended!

Following the principle 'good ought to be sought ', we scanned through reviews here on TripAdvisor to look a good Nihari place and found 'Karachi Pakwan '. I called ahead to reserve a table and to get a 'feel ' for the service/people, it went well. Upon arrival, we were greeted by Nofel as soon as we entered the restaurant and seated. We were pleasantly surprised by the inviting ambience, warm plates, clean cutlery and spotless glasses. (You 'd be surprised how rare the last 3 are at Pakistani restaurants) Our host recommended masala fish whilst we 'd wait for our main which we thought tasted excellent. Our main, Nihari with Kulchas was served at our requested time. The kulchas were fresh and perhaps the nicest we had at any Pakistani restaurant. Nihari was good enough, albeit I did think it could have done with a bit of (fat) trimming. Regardless, the taste didn 't disappoint. We had no room to try their recommended falooda (or even a sweet paan) but we shall in our next visit. The restaurant is about 90 minutes drive from us BUT worth it. Our previous Nihari restaurant (in West Hendon) is half that distance but declining service had costed them our custom of 10 years. We shall be returning to Karachi Pakwan for more.

We arrived for a late lunch/early supper and were happy to find that the restaurant was not very busy, so we had our pick of seating. While the staff was friendly and polite, they were not very prompt. The bun kebab and nihari were very authentic, almost identical to those found in Karachi. The bihari boti and chicken dhansak were also of excellent quality. The tandoori roti was fresh and soft. However, the standout items were the freshly made sugarcane juice and paan, both reasonably priced. The ambiance was charming with old-fashioned lanterns and furniture. I would recommend this restaurant for meals as well as gatherings, birthdays, and other special occasions.
