Decent food, what youd expect from a restaurant made biryani portion, little bit oily but spicy and chicken was done well. Raita and Salad cost extra apart from the Biryani.Fair enough prices.No toilet though, also the A/C wasnt working and in that small space its uncomfortable. So it was like sitting in a sweaty armpit.

Good shop. Not a restaurant. I tired their haleem. It was good. Prices are good not so high. Music is available. Sitting area for 20 to 25 people. They have special menu daily. Have no washroom. It was their mm alam branch.

During my multiple visits, I have found their food to be tasty, ambience good, staff courteous, all in all an awesome experience. They have a small menu and some dishes are overly priced. Also very small sitting place. But may be service is better than many bigger restaurants because of it. Do check them out once, especially their bihari boti and platter combos.

Funky decor with reasonable seating area. The staff is courteous and food comes relatively quickly.We ordered 3 dishes - the bun kabab platter, the Boti roll and bhelpuri fries and chai. The chai, fries and bun kabab were on fleek but the roll left much to be desired.While the experience was 4 star, I am cutting one point for the whole Plaza not having a reasonable washroom

Took at them atleast 10 minute to figure out the order, and after 20 mins they realized they were out of practically all the items which we have had ordered. An utter disappointment

Review №15

Beef Bun Kabab was bland and tasteless. Overpriced very small helping of bland french fries. A bland Chicken Malai Boti Roll. Menu items with qeema or behari were not available, nor was any diet drink. The Aaloo Naan was really nice though.Bottom line: If youre in the mood for Aaloo Naan, its great. Otherwise give it a miss.

Well I am a fan of their tea and their bread and butter pudding (I hope I said the name right) and on the basis of these two items, I am giving them a 4 star rating. But their bread and butter pudding was way too sweet to eat when last time I visited them. But since, I havent eaten much of their products, so this review is incomplete. Ill come back for a full fledged review, once I have tasted their other products as well.

Among very few, Karachi Kanteen gives you the opportunity to fulfill your Karachi taste desires. The rockstar is Bunkabab which is very rare to find. Rest if the food is good but If you are a Karachite in Lahore and really craving true bun kabab then you must check theirs. Because Karachi like Bun Kabab is rare to find in Lahore. (Bun Kabab not like Burns road wala Bun & Kabab, but like anday wala burger which we commonly find in Karachi)

Review №31

Their Sindhi biryani is literally to die for. The blend of spices and herbs is perfect, rice are of high quality and the chicken piece in biryani was tender and flavorful. Sindhi biryani is a must from Karachi kanteen ️

Biryani was not cooked properly, their Bun kebab is very small and they are over charging for it. No value for money. Not recommended.

Review №33

Worse cappuccino ever, new staff and fake board of Nespresso hanging outside. Basically, using cheap PET capsules.New staff no knowledge of coffee and barista training using instant coffee instead with no foam - charges RS 350/ cup + taxPlease avoid going to this place, I wonder how the owners running their restaurant around the globeI’m very well aware of Nespresso and capsules range I have no issues of paying off extra charge if I get what I have paid for not movenpick cheap capsules coffee.Unfortunately, this place stays empty and i can imagine now what is the reason behind and if they will not change soon it will close down.

Review №34

They offer best desi food options and have variety of Thali options. Their Biryani is absolutely delicious and I have had it serveral times now. Very economical and their portions are great two. One thaali is more than enough for two people. They have friendly staff and clwan sitting space. One thing that even high-end resturants dont have is a sign on every table to let the staff know about any food allergies that you might have.

Review №43

One of the most underrated eateries in Lahore! I have been to this place several times and it is one of my absolute favorites! Whenever you want to go to a place where you know you will find a great blend of unique dishes and excellent taste or just a place which never lets you down, Karachi Kanteen is your safest bet!I have tried their Biryani, Bun Kebabs and 3 milk cake. All of this stuff is yummy! Especially the 3 milk cake and the dum qeema bun and hunter beef bun! I really wish more people would go there.The sitting area is not excellent but good enough for a hang out with friends and family. I mostly go for food rather than the ambience, which is not shabby at all to say the least.

Review №45

I liked their Menu, especially with the Thaali scene which is available in veg & non veg both. One Thaali will cost around 500-600 rupees and can be eaten by two people easily. Other than that their best thing is Daily Special in which they cook one single dish and Alo gosht is the best amongst all. They have also introduced Chai Lassi which is known to be good but yet to be tried. But karak chai is really good!They have two branches, one on MM Alam road and other on PIA Road Wapda town.

Review №72

Amazing place having typical karachi biryani. I went to their M.M.Alam branch and tried their thaali having portion of biryani, chicken quorma, 2 rotis, raita and salad. Both biryani and quorma had homemade taste and were delicious. Price is quite economical if we consider taste and ambiance.I only have one objection with them as their portion size is very small not even enough for a single person. Highly recommended for foodies who love spicy food.

Wait! My recent favorite eatery was not listed in Google maps??? So here it goes! Im a lover of their sindhi biryani and qeema naan. Flavour bombs they are! (Only reservation i had as an authentic lahori biryani lover, why on earth a biryani has to have a potato?) but nevermind! If you are getting such nice ambiance, and great food that is even easy on your pocket, this wont matter. Their Raita is to die for! Naan and roti quality is amazing and so does their daily menu. I hope they would forever maintain their standard.
