Reviews For Khan Karahi Kabobs

Beardman Ali

I must say, it exceeded my expectations in every way! The food was absolutely delightful, surpassing my experiences at Pakwan and Shalimar. The standout dishes for me were the Chicken Biryani and Karahi. The biryani was flavorsome, aromatic, and perfectly cooked, while the karahi was tender, rich in spices, and delightfully presented. I was impressed by the reasonable prices, elegant modern decor, and decent portion sizes. The cleanliness of the restrooms and dining area was also noteworthy. The service was attentive, and the staff ensured a pleasant dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone craving authentic Pakistani cuisine. Haider was exceptional in his service and is very well mannered with an eye for costumer satisfaction.

Went there with friends. And sat in open area. It was bit cold so they placed heater as well. Didn't had any issues in ordering and service. Namkeen Karhai is their signature item. So must try and very close to the one served in Peshawar. One reminder though, if you plan to visit and try Namkeen Karhai, order 1 hour prior to visit as they make it fresh and it takes about an hour to cook it. Other menu items are decent as well. If you go there, sitting outside is nice but carry a jacket as it can get cold in the evening. Nice spacious place to have a large get together as well. Highly recommended for Karhai.

Have come here a few times and the food is always great. Prices are very fair, you won't find better than them. Guy who runs the restaurant is really friendly as well.

What an excellent place to enjoy one of the best Pakistani food around this area. A hidden gem in the bay area. The BEST service ever. I mean the BEST. Karahi chicken is one of my favorites here. They are always humble and smiling. They always go above and beyond to make me happy and satisfied with warm smile. Almost like I'm in one of those restaurants abroad with authenticity and hospitality. Please try with open mind and go there with empty tummy. This is not a classy interior and washroom can definitely need a bit TLC. But it is all good for me. I lived in the bay area for 38 years and I recommend this place.

Great food at the Hayward branch of Khan Karahi. Great service. Attentive and very nice. Onion Naan was great. A decent size, good distribution of filling, wish it had a bit more butter, I should've just asked for more. Chicken Tikka Leg was really great. Will definitely have one each time we're here. Good char, good flavor, decent spice level. Chicken Biryani was alright. Good flavor and meat/rice proportion but I'm going to lean towards other items in future visits. Goat Namak Mandi Karahi was great. Really enjoyed the taste and presentation. For future visits I'll probably get more naan, karahi and kababs.

I moved from HTX so my food expectations were not that high but this restaurant changed my mind with their flavorous recipes, serving authentic Pakistani foods. The prices are really affordable with good serving sizes. Haider is exceptionally welcoming and well mannered for best customer satisfaction.
