First time coming here, I had no idea what to order. Shout out to Hafsah for the recommendation of the Potohari Chicken Karahi, get it boneless and thank me later. That was absolutely delicious and packed with flavour. Can’t forget the Chicken dum biryani and the garlic naan (the family size is huge).
There is free parking in the garage, just ask the server and they will give you a QR code.

Had the pleasure of trying out this new location.

The food was excellent. We ordered the chicken dum biryani, which came with raita, as well as the classic K-Boys chicken karahi, Potohari chicken karahi, chitti chicken karahi, and naan. The chicken in the biryani was very tender and practically fell off the bone, with generous portion sizes. The K-Boys karahi was a hit and my personal favourite, while other members of our group really enjoyed the cream-based chicken karahis.

The service was amazing. One of our karahis was slightly delayed due to a kitchen issue, and one of the servers was extremely accommodating. She offered complimentary drinks and was very apologetic about the delay. After the dish arrived, she checked in again to ensure everything was going smoothly. I do not recall her name(sorry!!) but she was a Caucasian server and her service was very much appreciated!

Underground parking is available right next to the restaurant, and parking is validated. Since the restaurant is new, additional signage within the building would be helpful so customers can easily find it if they exit the parking garage and choose to walk through the building.

Edit: Visited again and noticed their menu has expanded. Their chapli kebab was amazing. I have tried it before at one of their Toronto locations and this time it was just as good. The charsi chicken karahi was also excellent. They now offer family sized naans and I highly recommend the garlic naan. Overall, it did not disappoint and I will definitely be back to try their brunch and other menu items. Customer service, as usual, was great. Service is fast and the waiters regularly check in to make sure everything is going well.

One of the best places in Ottawa for an authentic Pakistani Karahi. Must say this place is better than Karahi Point. Everything was delicious. Good portion size. Good service and good atmosphere.

We had the Amritsari fish and the potohari goat curry. Everything tasted great. The naans were light and fluffy, portions are generous. Will definitely be coming back to try more of their karahis. Nafsah’s service was great too, attentive and knowledgeable of the menu.

I usually go to their other location on Queen Street West, but recently I visited this location as well. The food was good and fresh, and the service was nice. The staff was friendly and helpful. This location is also good, and I would recommend coming here.🥰
