Kebabs grilling over glowing charcoal Spices and chillies ready for the karahi
Our Karahi

Cooked to Order, Over Real Fire

At Butt Karahi, nothing sits under a heat lamp. Your karahi goes into the wok when you order it β€” tomatoes, green chillies and ginger crushed fresh, the meat seared on high flame and finished in desi ghee until the oil glistens at the edges.

On the other side of the kitchen, the charcoal grill runs all night: seekh kebabs, malai boti and tikka picking up that deep smoky char you can smell from the F-10 service road.
