The seekh kabab here is the benchmark I compare every other seekh kabab to in Karachi. Perfectly spiced, juicy inside, charred outside. Came with family of 12 and everyone left happy.

Solid, reliable desi food. Not the most exciting menu but everything is done well. The mutton karahi in particular is excellent — rich and deeply flavoured.

Service was noticeably slow on a Saturday night. Food is great as always but they need more staff on busy evenings. Had to flag someone down twice for water.

Been coming here for 10 years. Quality has stayed consistent which is honestly remarkable. My family's default restaurant for any gathering.
