Karahi Hut in Pickering

Every time I get food from Karahi hut, they never disappoint. Amazing food and great service. I love their tandoori chicken, nihari and veal pulao the most. Keep up the good work!

We have been dining-in for quite some here. Beef pulao and chicken qorma exceed taste beyond expectations. Karahi Hut always fulfills our craving for these two items. We chose Karahi Hut for catering services some time ago. Generous serving sizes for rice and curries. However, Barbq serving was not appropriate for a Pakistani gathering. We had to top it up to make it enough serving. We informed this to Ruby as well. Hopefully they ll work on improving that. Apart from that, it was overall wonderful experience. Ruby gave personal touch to our catering items and we truly appreciate that.

We went for weekend brunch. Had Halva Puri, Goat paya, Bryani and BBQ. Everything was fresh and tasty. Highly recommend this place.

Excellent place. Will definitely come again

Great food and great host

It was fantastic.

Amazing food, amazing service. The fish was amazing. Great spot to go!

Nihari is delicious ....food is good ....

Had halwa poori and paya...nice taste

I ordered veal Qorma, and was Very disappointed because of the small quantities given for the money. Got only 4 small pieces of meat, (more like 3.5). Overall the dish was mediocre. The naan was also a let down... the opposite of light/fluffy. Was thick, and chewy almost like pizza dough consistency. I feel nearby competitors offer better quality and value. I let the restaurant know my concerns and they didnt seem to care. Got a too bad, so sad response. Wont be coming here again.

We,family of 4 ,visited last Saturday, 26th September 2024, for dinner 8.30pm. We all are satisfied with Nihari, Naan, chicken kadai, and beef boti.The ambiance is good although small.The service is also good. We only missed onions or salad and mint chutney, which would have given more taste. We also took a parcel of Haleem, which was also tasty. We recommend food lovers to taste one time.

Halwa puri was awesome and the brain masala is a must try. Nihari was good too. Food

Food was nice. We visited the 1st time the male owner was very friendly and visited again with friends and family because of his behaviour. But the second time the lady owner was really rude and we had the worst experience. We ill never visit again. Food

we have going there frequently for breakfast. Last night i tried dinner and the experience was terrible. Ambience and service were good but food was awful. We ordered charsi karahi and literally it was so dry too salty. We complained and we were advised its always like that. We also ordered lahori fish and it was terrible too being raw from inside. They really need to focus on their kitchen if they want to retain the regular customers. Or change the chef / recipes

The karai was quite good. Biryani, is good

Best place for Halwa puri in pickering!!!

food is delicious...

Excellent food. Run by husband and wife who are hands-on. Staff is great. Excellent customer service. Keep it up!

Excellent

We enjoyed a family breakfast here the restaurant was pretty decene ambiance wise. Food was really really good. We will visit again next time we come to Canada.

Food was 5 stars. Restaurant was very clean. Hosts were pleasant. Nihari/paaye/ aloo Chaney.. everything tasted delicious. Definitely recommend!!

Food is average, I only go there for puri halwa and nihari which is hit and miss. My only issue is that the female owner is always in a bad mood and gives a weird look as soon as you enter the restaurant. Seems like that she saying why are you guys here by her facial expression. Restaurants should be welcoming with a smile rather than making faces if someone is buying your food.

I invited around 35 guests for breakfast/brunch and for that I requested the management to make some extra arrangements so everyone feels comfortable and enjoy the meal. I m very grateful to the owner and all staff who really worked hard to make it happen. They transformed the restaurant into buffet and very nicely arranged everything and all the food was extraordinary delicious. It was a very nice experience. We ordered Paya, Nihari, Halwa Puri with Chana and Allu ke tarkari, Kheer, Omlet with Paratha, Regular Naans and Qeema Naan along with Lassi, Mango Lassi and Tea. Every item was made fresh and delicious and quantity was more than enough. I m so glad that all my guests were happy and left with full tummy and was very reasonable for my pocket :) Definitely recommend to give them a try.

worst food and service

Best food and best service

No one can beat their taste, excellent food and service and area is also very neat and clean

Visited this restaurant for halwa puri breakfast... everything was so good and fresh.... Highly recommended place

A total delight to have lunch w my family here. Authentic Lahori flavours. We started off w chaat paapri as an appetizer. Shahi paneer, Haleem and chicken tikka (BBQ) made my tastebuds quite happy! Every item on the menu had its own unique flavour. Highly recommend it!

There food is amazing, ture taste of pakistan. Staff is also very pleasant Food

Vegetarian options: Its a great spot for takeout or casual dining, especially for BBQ and breakfast items. Overall, a satisfying experience for those craving Pakistani cuisine. Recommended dishes

Best kebab roll I ve ever had.

Had good experience and nice environment

I wish there s an option to give zero star. We chose to go there because of the good reviews. I called and ordered at 9:20 and asked them if thats not too late, he said ok come, we reached there in 15 min. As we reached there, they served food in next second. We thought it was quick service but actually food looks not fresh, chicken karahi was old and almost no masala and no green pepper in karahai chicken. We regret to go there. We were five people and we had five plates. I asked them that we need 5 plates for naan too. One lady came and told me BUT WE SERVE LIKE THAT THATS SOOO RUDE TO THE GUEST. I asked her again that BUT WE NEED 5 plates for naan Then she brought five VERY SMALL PLATES. (Tea cup plate) BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE, SO RUDE, WE DONT LIKE FOOD AND ENVIRONMENT WAS EXTREMELY TENSE. Like they were waiting for us to leave. Because its closing time. My question is, why u take customer in late hours when you are not ready to serve politely? They should say No to me when i called. Extremely disappointed. Never go again Nor recommend.

Amazing food -highly recommend.

The money was wasted.

Great location in Durham Region, loved the robot service made the dine in experience more enjoyable

Really enjoyed my time there. I liked the use of a robot when serving the food.

The robot service is truly amazing

From the moment we walked into Karahi Hut, we knew we were in for a special treat. The ambiance was both elegant and inviting, setting the perfect tone for the evening. The staff greeted us warmly and provided attentive, knowledgeable service throughout our meal. The menu offered a delightful array of options, and each dish we ordered exceeded our expectations. The barbecue platter was a standout, beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. And the nehari was delightful. The attention to detail in both the food and the service was exceptional. Karahi Hut is truly a gem, and we can t wait to return. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience!

I visited them with family after a few months for a weekend breakfast. I thought that I will have difficulty finding a table as last time. But I was surprised to see that it was almost empty. I ordered Halwa Puri and Butter Chicken. I was not able to swallow the puri. Butter chicken was made out of tomatoes. Who uses tomatoes in a butter chicken? My family was very disappointed. Servers were coughing and sneezing while handling the food. It is second day and all of us are suffering from stomach ache and diarrhea. I am writing a complaint to Durham region environmental health department.

Please make sure to open everything to ensure you are getting what you ordered. I ordered chicken Qorma and they gave me lamb Qorma. Also, the biryani is the worst, but they still charge $11.99. Much better biryani is available near you for $7.99 or less in this area.

Ashuu service is very good

After arriving from Calgary, I discovered an exceptional Pakistani restaurant where I tried their chicken kebab and tandoori chicken, both incredibly fresh and delicious. The naan was particularly noteworthy, freshly baked and served piping hot. The owner was super professional and humble guy. I highly recommend this to everyone!

Extremely poor service. Food is average. Better spend your money elsewhere as the owner is very disrespectful. Not a place which welcomes children

Amazing food, atmosphere and service. Try the chicken lollipops, samosas, lamb korma and chicken Tikka masala!!! Also, their mango lassi is the best I have tried.

I have been to this place many times. Their shinwari karahi and chicken seekh kebab are my favourite and everytime taste is so authentic. Highly recommended

My family and I recently visited Karahi restaurant and it was a delightful experience from start to finish. The ambiance was warm and inviting, perfect for a family outing. We were promptly seated, and the service throughout was friendly and attentive. As for the food, it was simply outstanding. Every dish we ordered exceeded our expectations. From the appetizers to the desserts, each bite was a burst of flavor. The ingredients were fresh, and the presentation was impeccable.

Had a good experience, they served lip smacking pakistani food. Chicken handi was the best.

I particularly enjoyed karahi chicken , nihari and paratha, which were truly mouth-watering and left us wanting more. The chefs attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the meal. Overall, our visit to Karahi hut was memorable, thanks to the delicious food and the wonderful atmosphere. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great dining experience with their loved ones.

Best Halal food recommended for good desi food

We decided to go with Karahi Hut to cater a birthday party with roughly 80 adult guests. Firstly Ruby was super patient when we were placing the order and answered all our questions. We ordered the King Package including the Chicken Biriyani, Veal Korma, Mixed Vegetables, Chicken Kabob, Mango Delight and came with Naan, Raita and Salad. The items were ready for our pickup time and date without any delay. All of the items were delicious and our guests had only good things to say about the options. I would definitely order a meal or have them cater from Karahi Hut again.

That was the best taste of Pakistani foods that I try in my life

This place was highly recommended by friends for Halwa puri breakfast. We placed a takeout order on the weekend and must say the food was amazing. Good people, good food. Always a winning combination. Will revisit with family for sure.

We were on the way from Ottawa and wanted to do a quick stopover but were craving for Pakistani food. This place popped up as the shortest detour with good rating, so we tried our luck. Phoned them half an hour ago to prepare our food at a certain time as we didnt want to wait after placing the order. The owner went an extra mile to fulfill our request and also guided the portion. Chicken biryani was absolutely delicious and portion size was also great. P.S: Amazing customer service on phone from a desi place is a cherry on top!

Great Food and service today

Food, service and atmosphere is absolutely fantastic Vegetarian options: They dont have many options but whatever they have is delicious Food : 5/5 |

I tried their Mutton Shinwari Karahi, they don t use natural fat mutton/beef, which is the whole point of Karahi, it tasted so bland, was disappointed by it. Biryani is great and Pulao as well.

Best Pakistani food ever!!! Stop wasting time at big places like Karahi boys!!! Delicious food and best prices. Must try the chicken biryani and bihari boti We will always return.

I have been to this place a lot and it has been good in the past but the food is not good anymore.Good service though

Shinwari Karahi was up to the standard, tried Kebabs from BBQ item and taste really good. Also naans were not thick. Overall good experience

Parking: Plenty of parking on weekends Food

Ordered a takeout recently - the chicken tikka malai was very bad and smelt awful like the chicken was spoilt. We had to throw all of it. The iftar package was good though so i have mixed feelings about this place now. Probably wont order again though as they should not have sent such a bad dish.

Worst iftari box expensive oily qorma makes sick ordered via Uber. They charge $40 and not refunding for bad food. Worst never buy from there its safety issues

Good presentation but tasteless food. disappointed.

We order halwa puri, food was delicious, portion are good, service was excellent and thanks for accommodating us on eid day. Highly recommended. Food

Loved their Biryani! Must try!

Very cute place to dine in. Place is clean and nice ambience. The food was very typical Pakistani food which was great. Everything tasted great will definitely be coming again. Loved the Kheema Naan and Tandoori Chicken

Alhamdulillah Me and my whole family loves their food so much. Best Breakfast food in Pickering. Their food and services are awesome and very positive ambiance. Please keep up the good work

Very BAD experience the nihari dish was a reap off for the price

Probably some of the best food Ive ever had. I always come here for the Beef Karahi dish and a side of Naan.

Amazing karahi as always. Their karahi never disappoints. Also, their service is great as well. Highly recommend for their karahis!

It was nice overall

Do not order from this place. We made a mistake of trying their 1/2 kg Chicken Karahi for the first time and for $30 they gave us 4 small pieces of chicken with almost no gravy. On complaining about it I was told to drive all the way back to return the food that I have already opened which is waste of time and effort or place a new order to get a mere 10% discount with a take it or leave it attitude. Honestly they can keep the 10% and shut their business than fooling customers. Customer service is poor and they don t care about anything. Super oily food and super spicy despite requesting mild. NEVER GOING BACK. Wasted my money, time and efforts. Stay out of this.

I was amazed to have such delicious food here. We were here on the weekend and we ordered puri wala nashta, paya naan, badami korma , garlic naan, mango shake and kadak chai the flavors and the restaurant was amazingly excellent. Service was great. The galic naan was to EXCELLENT. I havent had such ZAIKA in any other pakistani restaurants here in Canada. I was happy for the whole day cause the food here made my day. They are quite reasonable and more over tasty food is what we always look for. Highly recommend

We had been to this place for the very first time, but the food, atmosphere and their service were amazing. We had their most famous Karahi and BBQ dishes which were so finger-licking delicious, also their naan is so good. A must try restaurant in Pickering!

Excellent hulwa puri

We went for morning breakfast. Halwa puri was awesome, the staff was great and the dining area and restroom was superbly clean. Regarding 15% svc charge it s clearly mentioned in QR code, menu and at the counter and I don t mind paying it and even then I tipped on top because of good service. Everyone is working hard and hard work should not go unappreciated.

Best Kashmiri chai in town

They charge 15% dine in fee. There are much better options available in the area.

We ordered halwa puri on Christmas day for 20 people for takeout. From the time we called to place the order until the food was delivered, Karahi Hut was exceptional. They are professional when it comes to dealing with their customers and their halwa puri was a hit. The quantity and quality of food was excellent! All our guests loved it - will definitely be ordering from them again.

Wonderful Karahi. However, the star of the menu is the chargha. Its mouth watering and worth every penny. Best in GTA.

Not good value for money, Containers are only halfway filled. Tried the paneer and chole. Chole was great, bit oily. Paneer was very expensive and very bad. Food : 2/5

I went today for halwa puri at Karahi Hut with my aunty n uncle who came from London Ontario, they loved every bit of it. Awesome food awesome chai n very nice ambiance. Highly recommended to everyone who is looking for best halwa puri.

Too oily food Vegetarian options: Not great Food : 3/5 |

Not bad Nearing was good Food

Food is very tasty and delicious but the lady on front reception always surprises me everytime with the increased rates of food items and quantity is also very less of Halwa puri .Also there are service charges so i would not recommend to dine in

One and only Pakistani/ Indian restaurant in Ajax/ Pickering with the highest standards of cleanliness. Excellent food and ambience. Kudos to the owners. Food

Visit only if you want to taste the humiliation Customer service in Canada is generally bad and we are now use to it but this place was the worst ever since I landed on Canada The male attendant is a nice person but the female business partner was worst in Customer dealing Food taste was not bad but we add to wait for 20 minutes approx to get extra Naan and instead the female attendant show some courtesy, her behavior was as if it was a free ride Not recommended at all Visit on your own and face the worst ever Customer service

Weekly spot for breakfast. The maghaz is so good. The kids love the Malai boti and halwa puri is amazing.

It really is a hidden gem in Durham for Pakistani food, the vibe there made me feel like I was back home.

March 1st, 2023 I ordered Veal Pullao and Shinwari Karahi (To Go). The food cost me $38.40. This was not my first experience wirh Karahi Hut. Had dinner with several friends couple of times. Each time the food was fresh and tasted good. Unfortunately my very first take out experience, the food was absolutely below average in taste. One of my friend whom Id recommended this place had similar complaint in January. The Management has to take serious notice of such awful taste of borh items. Theres something went wrong, either their Chef/Cook is changed or theyve started using sub standard ingredients. Having my last experience I would never waste my money to try again and neither I would recommend this place to anyone.

First time visited at friend s recommendation and it was great experience. Clean place and delicious food. They provide potatoes, pickles and good portion of halwa in breakfast. A few other restaurants where we had breakfast don t provide potatoes and always out of pickles. The interior is beautiful. The couple of things that could be improved are more courtesy and genuine hospitality in staff and removal of service charges. I mean your dine in charges are already higher than take out but still you are charging service fee and still there s an option to pay tip (why charging service charges and still expecting to tip).

The place was so artsy , and the food was super light and delicious Kid-friendliness: Very colourful

Very delicious food. We search randomly on internet but we really enjoy the food. So must try.

Amazing place for dinning in. This is my second time at this restaurant. I have not had any food more delicious than these guys. It surprises me that they serve better food than Karahi Boys and Karahi Point. I will gladly recommend them for those who havent tried here yet.

Loved the atmosphere, loved the food and loved the customer service!

This place is AMAZING! delicious Pakistani Halwa Puri!!

Great food and wonderful service.

First time here and it was exceptional! Loved the breakfast. Would definitely come back

We ordered half kg karahi and bihari kebab for dinner. They quantity of half kg karahi was so small, not enough for 2 persons. We have ordered half kg karahi from multiple places ans its always more than enough for 3 persons. So disappointed.

I went to Karai hut with my friends for Buffet at Iftari timings, The buffet was amazing with variety of food and Iftari options available. The price was very budget friendly with the options served, and they are offering RAMAZAN Packages which is awesome deal if you want it to gift to someone. Worth the price

Went to Karahi hut for the first time today. Had heard great reviews about this place and the food lived up to it. We ordered the grill platter (8/10) and Nihari (9/10) with Naan. We topped it off with Zarda (7/10) but overall the food eating experience was good.

The food was not at all tasty and way overpriced. The biryani tasted stale and the butter chicken had a ketchup like taste which was absolutely disgusting. To top it off the staff was incredibly rude and served us late despite arriving half an hour early and informing them of our arrival. Staff had completely forgot about our reservation and did not have any food ready for us even though they knew it is the month of Ramadan and people are fasting and hungry. They even served us dates and appetizers long after the fast had opened. I have never experienced such disorganized people and poor customer service. They definitely have many fake reviews here.

Small portions but every dish i ordered was under 10 cad so no complains

This place was a beautiful find! Its small but well put together. Sometimes overcrowded places are annoying. Interiors and seating arrangements are great. The food is even better. Everything was proportioned well and cooked. Service was quick and friendly. Reasonably priced. We ordered nihari and halwa puri nashta on Eid. You can tell the owners put their heart into it all. We will be going back and my family shouldve listened to me sooner.

I traveled from Ajax to try out this restaurant on the recommendation of a friend, but unfortunately, my experience was far from enjoyable. The front desk staff, particularly the girl with glasses, was incredibly rude and unprofessional, making for a poor first impression. Her attitude was unwelcoming and it was clear that she had no interest in providing good customer service.

Great food amazing service

Food & atmosphere are great but Im not going to come back based on the service. Our food came out at least 10 mins before our naan and the staff was very unfriendly especially the girl with the glasses..she clearly had no interest in being there or taking care of her customers

Lovely place. Food was really good, especially the grill and the pulao rice. Very clean place that makes you remember your homeland. Will definitely recommend!

You get what you come for Authentic Great Pakistani food..

We recently had my daughters aqiqa party. Everything was perfect from food to the service. Loved the ambience. All of our guests loved the food. We had more than 30 guests.

Went with my family yesterday and the restaurant did not want to make white rice for my 4 year old. They said the kitchen was busy doing catering order and that all the stoves were being used. They were more focused on the catering order then our order it seems. Due to the mandatory 15% service tip they never once came to our table to see how we were doing. We tried to get a reason as to why they could not boil white rice but kept getting different answers.

Amazing Food!!!

Food price too high , not worthy according to the price !!

This was one of the best restaurants we have eaten at in Canada! Visiting from the US, we try to find great desi restaurants elsewhere, and this was it. Absolutely delicious. Karahi Chicken was AMAZING- such smoky flavor with perfect spice. Such soft meat, as well as the tikka boti. The zarda was next level. So unique and will probably have nothing like it before. So delicious! A perfect time.

Inflation has bring down quality and everything. 2022 Biryani was good compared to nearby eateries. Best halwa puri aka chole bhatore in town.

Pathetic customer service and low food quality

We were a group of 7 people and came here for breakfast of Halwa Puri. We thoroughly enjoyed it. The service is good and the staff are courteous and friendly. The ambience is excellent. Thank you, Karahi Hut!

Excellent food..we had the halwa puri. Puris were light and fluffy and not greasy. You get channa (chick peas) and aloo (potatoes) and the halwa was awesome. Good service at this family business. The owners (chef) daughter painted the mural on the wall herself. We will visit again. Highly recommended!

Great food great customer service.. definitely going back

Very good food quality .. and service was good

Came with a group of friends and was not disappointed. Food was amazing and service was even better! Definitely recommend!

Amazing food! Very delicious! I ordered Chicken Dum Biryani, Tandoori Chicken and garlic Naan! That was soooo yummy! I went with my family and we enjoyed the food alot! Everybody has to try it... really really very good!

Very good food and excellent service.

Great food

Awesome experience.Tried shinwari karahi, charsi karahi, veal pulao, kheer. Everything was amazing , great taste , great service and great atmosphere. Owner was very friendly. Highly recommend Karahi Hut!

If I could give 0 star I would But unfortunately its not possible so the food was really really bad. I rather would have had the Popeyes next to door. Theyre kebabs were all frozen kebabs. I could have just bought my own frozen kebab and warm it up in the oven. Their butter chicken tasted like tomato sauce. It was really bad. I I actually did not enjoy the food at all. I left everything on the table and the customer service really sucked. It was like the most awful experience ever. On top of that when you go to pay they charge you 15% service fee which youre not aware of. Dont eat Dont eat here or just go eat Popeyes or McDonalds. Trust me its better than what they are going to serve you. Save your money or go to karate point?

Ample parking and delicious cuisine and great price. A great place to be there for family and friends gathering! Food : 5/5

First time visiting Karachi hut, tried thier Chicken Qorma and Kashimiri Chai. Very delicious and fresh.

I always come here with my wife and kid. Its one of our usual spots. Today we ordered our usual and one of the dishes had too much salt. I informed the staff and they did not replace the dish. Upon leaving I had a discussion with the front desk and told them we were not satisfied with the customer service. Their reason was that since we ate some of the dish, they didnt replace it. From a business perspective, thats a no brainer. Almost half(3/6 or 8 pieces) of the dish (chicken pekora) was remaining. What really upset me was the mentality that every customer is there to screw them over and eat part of the dish and refill. My expectations was that the cook should have tasted the dish and see if our point was valid or not. Not that we were trying to scam them. I know they dont need my business because they are growing, but they lost my family and I because of a few pekoras. Again I am not here to say their food is not good. We always had a good time and enjoyed our food here but customer service definitely needs to be worked on if they wish to stay in the business for long. Each regular customer that does not return, is a loss in bottom line in the long run.

Best paya in town

Halwa Puri naashta was a bit expensive as its take out is $8, dine in is $10. They are automatically addung 15% graduity on bills for dine in. So for an $8 halwa poori you will be payung adfitional $3.5, and with all taxes in, its $13. Double dipping it with $ 2 and then $1.5 on top, does not make sense. Channay taste made me come here for a second time after a long time, but these were not of same taste as before. Besides all above you need them microwave channay and aloo as i got less than desireable temperature on both visits.

Great food good ambiance. Kids enjoyed the Nihari, Naan, Chana and the grill platter. Excellent service. Recommended dishes

Food was good. BEWARE - Ask for bill and check if the tips/ gratuity has been already included or not, before you make the payment. Otherwise by mistake you might pay tip/gratuity twice. Food

The experience was absolutely ruined when they unapologetically charged a 15% service fee for two people without any mention of it on the menu or anything on the table or even while paying. We figured we paid $5 more on $26 food and went back to ask. What s this service charge, and why don t we have a choice. Restaurants give you a choice if you want to pay a tip or charge a fee if you have a large number of people on a table which is also clearly written on the menu. I won t ever return or recommend a place that charges sneakily like that. Also Nihari was saltish..

We were a huge group of 26 people...mostly family visiting Toronto for a special occasion. We got together for a traditional Pakistani breakfast. The restaurant is owned and run by a family from Lahore and Islamabad. The food is very authentic and we enjoyed our halwa puri meal. It came with a delicious chick pea curry and a potato Baaji and a small container of mango and lemon pickle. We also ordered a serving of chicken karahi that was enjoyed by all. Two thumbs up. Would definitely recommend. Vegetarian options: The Halwa Puri breakfast is perfect for vegetarians as it has Chole, Suji Halwa, Potato Curry and Puris and a mango/lemon pickle.

Good food

Goat brain was with water horrible Nihari just oil no curry with 2 small pieces of meat. Simple Naan and sesame Naan was like rubber cant chew. Halwa puri same like Naan dough like rubber all food suks and garbage waste of time and money. Resturant claims halal serving but i am doubting they are not serving halal.

Wow! Reminds me of my moms cooking. Im not a huge fan of desi food but this was just amazing. The naan was super fresh and tasty. The nihari was EXCELLENT. The wraps were very well done. Great job guys. See you soon! Food

Weve been to this restaurant a few times for dine-in breakfast and takeout lunch/dinner. For sure, one of the best in the GTA East. Taste, quality, quantity, and customer service (by servers)...mostly above average. An area of opportunity for the owners is to be friendly... a smile does not cost anything. You folks look serious . In addition, your responses to reviews with criticisms or complaints, valid or not, appear (it may just be perception) to show a little arrogance and attitude. A restaurant is not necessarily in food or hospitality business rather in customer service. 15% Service Charges: You can name tip as a service charge but it is always going to be a tip (for the server) in the eyes of customers. Majority of the customers prefer that they decide what amount the server deserves based on customer service they received and for thier experience. By giving this option back to your customers, you may gain many more satisfied customers and reduce complaints.

Paya was fantastic. Bihari and chicken tikka we ok Next time will try some different menu item. Over all a very clean place better than most Food : 4/5 |

Personally, I like supporting local small business because of their home like hospitality. Unfortunately that s where the nice aspect of this review ends. I ordered Nihari, chicken tikka and some rotis. Food was average at best, more in the salty side and food from Nanak handi and larosh in ajax are better places I have rated for similar price point and overall food. The place charged a 15% service charge and personally I couldn t find it on their website at least not conveniently. As such you should have service charges for actual services. I didn t feel there was any service per se. I wouldn t return. The service charge experienced took the one nice thing about hospitality and so it s really unfortunate.

Very tasty food, staff is very helpful. Quick service. Great place for dine in.

We ordered halwa puri..the order came quick and the puris were crisp and not oily at all! Great food and great service!! Food

Went for halwa puri. Great service and food!

The food was very good, we got halwa puri and the puri was so nice and not oily at all.

Really nice atmosphere. Great portions. Lots of food . Tastes good too. Overall comfortable sitting area, good service, great food and portions.

Have done take out before for their breakfast and was satisfied. However, my most recent experience ordering they did not provide proper portions. We ordered two breakfasts which they combined in one container and didnt even fill up. That was disappointing.

Great

Ordered chicken tikka malai tikka and biryani excellent but portion of biryani is too less 2 people can t even eat properly . 15% service charge wasn t expecting even for 2 people Food is way better than other restaurants but 15% charge I find it rediculous

I have almost tried everything on their Menu. I would say that their Paya (Cow) is delicious, their Handi is Good! Biryani is Good! however, their Beef Pulao is supremely delectable, certainly the best Ive had anywhere in GTA. The Restaurant has the cleanest Washroom amongst all the Pakistani Restaurants Ive been to. Staff is very efficient, the owners are extremely courteous & ensure attention to the finest of details towards the Dishes on their Menu.

Stopped here for a quick takeout. Shinwari Karahi and Chicken Biryani were out of this world. Real Contender to the mainstream Karahi spots. The biryani was so flavourful and spicy as well as portion size was good for two easily. Service was super fast. Prices are very reasonable

As someone who would love to see this place become successful, I hope they improve the taste and the service

I feel bad to say.. but I have to say.. chai was really bad. This is what they said it s freshly made We wasted our time waiting for the so said fresh chai and we ended up getting 80% water, 30% milk with no flavor of chai . Really sad to have wasted on this overpriced chai.

One of the best desi breakfast spot in Durham. From food to service to cleanliness

Randomly ended up going here for breakfast after eid last year. Its the best halwa puri breakfast we have found in GTA and have tried a lot. It tasted just like karachi boat basin style yet it was clean, not too oily and home made like. Its family run and they are always there so I can tell its being managed well. Ive heard their other items are good too, but halwa puri does it for me. Everytime we have tried any other place after this, we have been dissapointed. This set the standards very high. Excellent ambiance and service too. Definitely recommended!

I ordered a BBQ Platter and nan bread. All the items were tasteless and very dry.

Very cheap management and customer service is very bad even food is not according to standard

Cheapest behaviour to loyal customers. Food is never same. The taste is never same. Keep changing the quality and quantity.

Food was amazing. MashaAllah

Parking: Excellent service and amazing food Mashallah Recommended dishes Charsi Goat Karahi

Loved the charsi karahi and the shinwari karahi. Nothing short of a cookery magic!!! An absolute delight!!! Love the food and loved the service. The food greatness at its best. Widh yhese kind folks an absolute best.

Food is really terrible even the person on reception very rude and rough I suggest to every one don t visit and try to go there I m pretty much sure you ll be disappointed.

Get ready to wait an hour before your food comes. Don t bother pre ordering because when you call back an hour later to ensure the food is ready that s when they ll tell you a) you never called to begin with b) you didn t give them specific orders for the food c) they don t allow you to pre order - youre required like all other customers to sit and wait an hour for your food (because apparently this is how long it takes at all restaurants for the food to come out). I started pre ordering because I wanted to support this family friend of 30 years and I was amazed at how long it took the food to come out each time- 45 mins to an hour. Atleast pre ordering would mean we wouldn t be waiting there for so long. Food is great but don t bother expecting any degree of customer service. You need to ask for water and glasses - basic things you get at restaurants when you walk in. I was a family friend that went consistently every 2 weeks with my elderly parents, husband, in-laws etc. and I myself won t be going back after she called my elderly father a hassle customer when I spoke to the owner about my feedback. Another time I gave them feedback about their pooris and instead of considering it, I was told, well that s how it is. Sad.

I wish I could give zero star. Cheapest management. Have no sense how to deal with customers.

The food was really delicious and they serve well and i had a really nice experience with them cause I it was a really delicious Pakistani food that I ever had here in Canada.

I love the Pakistani food and I love the atmosphere of the restaurant.

Our family friends took us for brunch. Everthing was delicious. We are definitely going back again. Owners are there and making sure that guests are having good time.we all enjoyed delicious food.

Too expensive

Puri cholay breakfast is the best. Also, ambiance is nice and they provide excellent service. Food

Ordered Palak Paneer which was of very less quantity & one order of Aloo Goni which had hardly any chopped potatoes. This dish was floating in oil. Very disappointing.

Had a chai. Really yummy.

This is a very nice looking restaurant. I ordered take-out and asked for extra gravy. The rice came dry. Parking: In a plaza

Will definitely come back for the Maghaz (brain fry) and garlic naan

Naans were really good

We ordered 15 naans today they were ready in time but overly toasted. Please improve your quality of nann. The price is very high for this quality.

Traveling through the Pickering area, discovered this hidden gem. Delicious food and friendly service. I would highly recommend KH for authentic Pakistani cuisine.

Overall good

Just ordered from here. Paid $66 and honestly i didnt receive food worth even $30. The container of Maghaz curry was almost empty only a table spoonful of curry was present in container hardly enough for a single person paid $17 for it. Nihari quantity was less and extremely spicy and pulao quantity was less as well and left over was given. Disappointed!

we had a tea at this restaurant it was good but spring rolls were cold from inside on other hand side their owner doesnt know how to talk with customer she was so loud and rude when we asked for pakodas either she was having option of dealing in polite manner and some of their staff doesnt know how to give order to customers as they behave like throwing the plate on the table in a very rude manner.

Good food, nice service, clean and cozy! Vegetarian options: Lots of vegan option! Food : 5/5 |

Not good customer service

Authentic cuisine...the service was excellent...made it feel like home..

Love the food and vibe. Had halwa poori , it was delicious . They have the best karak chai . Would love to visit again. Owner was very friendly. Highly recommended.

Vegetarian options: Many available. Parking: Free parking lot. Kid-friendliness: Yes. Menu options available for kids.

Excellent food. Must try halwa poori and nehari!

I dont know I wasnt there

Did not like the fact they squeeze in the 15% dine in fee. Which adds 10$ more to our actual order.. food was ok but will not be going back and due to the extra charges..

I live out of the Country but everytime Im in town I have to eat here atleast once! The food is amazing. The atmosphere is really nice. The restaurant decore is so authentic and Pakistani.....and the service is always amazing. We have had Breakfast, lunch , dinner here multiple times and loved it everytime. Their Kashmiri Chai is also amazing. Would definitely recommend.

The owner response to a review below states that if a customers had told the staff about their unsatisfactory meal, that the staff could have replaced it for them or done something to fix the issue. Thats kinda funny because I went in here last weekend and ordered two Kashmiri chais with my breakfast. The chais tasted like trash and after I took a sip and said I can t drink this. I got a shoulder shrug from the server followed by a, you still have to pay for it . My husband reluctantly drank his and mine sat there the same way it had come out ( hot water, pink food colouring and nuts). Anyways, besides this, there is a 15% service fee which is added automatically to all dine-ins. Now, this is stated on their website and all, but morally speaking, let s not forget that tipping is NOT mandatory and as someone who religiously tips like it s second nature, a practice like this is a turn off and flat out money grabbing. Makes you wonder, has the service been bad for a while deterring people from tipping? Maybe that s why the owners made a flat 15% service fee policy? If so get better servers and staff that aren t grumpy and unhappy? Maybe then people will tip well and even some more than the 15% you re taking.
