Karachi Cuisine in Croydon

I came here yesterday evening after Magrib prayers for an Iftar buffet. The place is vibrant and had soft prayer music in the background, there were some dates prepared on our table and a nice variety of starters, mains and rice dishes with sides too at the buffet area. Although this was great I found that some of the buffet food wasn’t being refilled adequately and being left empty until you asked which came out a little later. The food itself was delicious and full of flavour, there was some really lovely waiters who served us and was prompt too. Plenty of rose water drinks and water in plastic cups which was enough to subsidise unless you wanted a soft drinking I would cost £1 per can. We opted to have a Karach chai which was vibrant and tasted nice aswell at the end of our Iftar. I would recommend coming here for Iftar or even just if you fancy having an authentic experience.

Consistently good food and excellent service

Went here for Iftar, food was absolutely delicious, a lot of varieties and service was excellent too. Well done xx

Amazing fresh food ❤️ we went for Iftar buffet, we enjoyed it a lot!!!

Had an absolutely fantastic iftar buffet at Karachi Cuisine in Norbury! With over 25 mouthwatering dishes, every bite was a delight. The flavors were spot on, and the custard cake was simply heavenly—light, creamy, and the perfect sweet ending! The service was top-notch, with a warm and welcoming team making sure everything ran smoothly. Only minor hiccup was the naan getting cold while sitting, but that didn’t take away from the incredible experience. Can’t wait to go back!

Went to an evening buffet, excellent food, really impressed with everything that I tried. Really impressive for a buffet. Will definitely be going back!

Amazing food just go for it guys

Food is too salty and not fresh not worth it👎🏼

Best Pakistani and Indian Cuisine in the world!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Finally found authentic Pakistani food

Every aspect of each of my visits, whether with family or friends, has always been nothing short of exemplary. Great team, serving amazing food!

Good comfortable seating & ambience, clean, good service. Their iftar buffet is quality, don’t miss it. I love their falooda also, I like it without vermicelli & they don’t mind if you tell them.

Very tasty food. Best place for Biryani, loved the Bun Kebabs.

Came again for the iftar buffet. Food is fantastic, fresh and hot. Service staff are so friendly and attentive, can rate higher enough. Thank you to the chefs cooking through their fast and making a delicious dinner and thank you to the front of house staff for making us feel at home. Best iftar meal, lots of choice. Nice biryani.

nice atmosphere, great food as usual

Amazing value buffet! Really lovely food.

Iftar buffet visit - Decent food some items better than others. They were quite pushy on the timings which were not portrayed before. Tandoori chicken was nice My main complaint is that the state anyone over 4ft is an adult price which is wrong for children that are young but happen to be tall and nice versa. It should strictly be on age. I have never seen a tape measure being used at a restaurant buffet before so that is quite embarrassing

great food. great place. great people. no complaints

Lovely people thanks for letting jack use the toilets ❤️

The food was amazing and the staff were so kind if you are a lover of Pakistani cuisine come and have the iftar buffet it us so fresh

Everything is so good quality and and top notch tasty especially the biryani and all the deserts. Excellent customer service and very calming and positive atmosphere. HIGHLY HIGHLY Recommend one of the best restaurants to go I’ve been to in a while!!!!!!

This was one of the best buffets ive had to date !!! Great flavours , great desserts , great drinks , great service !!! No complaints !!! I recommend 100% for you and your family !!! #checkmate#flavio #Karachicuisine.

Loved the iftar buffet. Amazing food. Lots of variety. I wish i could come here everyday ♥️

We came for iftar and absolutely loved each and everything we tried at the buffet. Pure authentic Pakistani food. Will definitely come back. Grilled chicken, ginger chicken and gajjar halwa were the highlight for us. Must try 👍🏼

Decent iftaar overall Loved the biryani!

Came here for the iftari buffet and I only have good things to say. The food tasted SO good. Every thing I ate tasted amazing and I loved it. Even met the head chef who was extremely kind. The rest of the staff was also very kind and helpful. I totally recommend!!

Best ambience , yummiest food excellent service We loved their fish pikore,chicken tikka and Chana chaat out of this world For mains I love love loved the chicken biryani and nihari and haleem For deserts the really liked custard and Gajrella I highly recommend them guys go and book yourselves a treaty to the authentic Karachi Cuisine.

Byrianni was very good and serving was good.. Nice waiters, polite and active ..

Thanks for letting Jack manifold pee 👍👍

manifold jackard recommended this, thanks for letting him wee

Was quieter than usual, but the food was awesome as always. A little bit on the spicy side for the kids though. The lamb karahi and the butter chicken are to die for 😋😋

Authentic food. Behari Boti and Haleem were awesome. Very reasonably priced. Great service and very friendly.

I went out trying to find a different dining experience, and I'm glad to say that I found it to my liking. Very kind and friendly service, clean appearance, smiles on faces and very prompt service. The interior was fantastically well put together, ambient lights that change colour, red leather booth seats that you could fall asleep in, I could go on. Most importantly the food was deliciously amazing, definitely a 10/10 rating. I will be returning there, and if you get a chance, I advise you to do so as well.

Came here after work for a quick dinner at 5pm. Farhan was looking after us tonight and attention to detail was very good to a very high standard. Food was also on point. I had the lamb dum biriyani and my colleague had lamb nihari. Karak chai to end the meal. Amazing food I will be visiting again Thank you Mohib

Excellent service good food from leeds and always visit when near Croydon

Absolutely fantastic place, delicious food and excellent service. We have ordered Xmas meals for large groups from this restaurant two years running and cannot fault the generous and delicious portions, great communication and professionalism. I would thoroughly recommend.

Amazing place, worth a visit, must try the butter chicken

Enjoyed this establishment thoroughly, food and service was top tier

Absolutely love this restaurant and have visited it several times over the years and recently, more frequently. Everything on their menu turns out to be good. Plenty of spacious seating areas and yet the restaurant gives a nice cosy environment. Recently tried their breakfast menu and was surprised to experience authentic karachi style halwa puri available in London. Last but not the least, the staff at this restaurant make the whole experience most pleasant as they are very friendly, welcoming and well spoken gentlemen. Jamal is a very decent staff member and he tends to be very attentive and is indeed capable of delivering the best service possible. Mahad on the other hand is a very friendly member of their team and demonstrates great skills of hospitality and management. I would recommend this place to anyone for their extensive menu, delicious food, nice environment and an even better service.

I wanted to express my appreciation for the delicious food served at the Croydon West CLP fundraiser party. It truly enhanced the experience!

Delicious food we pop there for every special occasion or just when we want yummy food. We've never been disappointed about the quality it's always best. Friendly staff, cosy atmosphere. Highly recommended 👌

Came on a Friday evening for a family dinner- ordered kebabs and chicken tikka (all perfectly seasoned and fresh). Samosas also clearly fresh and the lamb karahi was also really well done. Friendly and attentive service from Shoaib too. Will definately be back soon!

Lamb Biryani was a true experience to Karachi…… The best biryani I ever had in London. Five 🌟

Amazing food! The best Nihari in the area, probably in London!

Noufil was great in serving. Quality food.

Good was not tasty marinade was basic and cheap kebabs takes like rubber and all that could be tasted was chillies no flavour to be honest this was a wasted of my money tikka roll was spicy I asked for no chils made with slapdash will not order again

Best Indian/pakistani taste ever. Loved the pani poori and nihari. Best nihari in whole london. Great service and ambiance 👍

An incredible experience. One of the best culinary restaurants all around. The food was tender, tasty, perfectly spiced. I recommend it 1000 times (from France to London 1st time) ✨️🙏🏽 Thank you

From my friend introduce me to KC I been hooked, for the last 4 year I been using This restaurant for my staff dinner every christmas, when my family visit from New York or birthday celebration this is my. To go Indian restaurant, I will definitely recommend KC as croydon best curry house. Well that is for.me

Yesterday I have visited Karachi cuisine to celebrate my birthday.... It was one of my bestest bday party ever ... Food was outstanding.... Please add rabri in desserts and dum keema in main course... JazakAllah ♥️ Yesterday I went Karachi cuisine...(9 December 2024)Owner yelling at her daughter very badly for some personal issues ...

Last time I came to this restaurant in 2016 The Same delicious taste of Kunna paye the quality is excellent the atmosphere is very pleasant Thank you

Best ever pakistani food in London. Authentic taste of Kunna Paya, Nihari and Haleem Adding their flavourful Halwa Poori Highly Recommended

Karachi Cuisine is a best restaurant in all over UK they have best quality of food and excellent taste of Pakistani’s food I will highly recommended the restaurant

Tastes very authentic, similar tasting to mum’s home cooking, and a menu with some items not found in mainstream restaurants.

Best Karachi Food outside Karachi, Authentic Behari Boti, Dum Biryani, delicious Nihari and Haleem

Their brunch menu is absolutely fantastic. The Halva Puri was a standout—perfectly cooked. Every dish I tried was fresh and flavorful, and the overall vibe of the place made for a really enjoyable meal. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a delicious experience!

Food is delicious and its amazing food and taste

Very friendly staff team. They are swift and very polite. Food tastes great! Everything we ordered was simply delicious. For the items made to order, they always alert first as to how long it will take to prepare. We have been coming here for many years and it’s a firm favourite!

Delivery service was good but not worth the money of delivery price. Food quality was poor, tasteless and not good.

This place is very very good food is very delicious and atmosphere is also very good love this place very much ♥️♥️💖💖♥️❤

Absolutely class food, just have to wait a little longer than normal

Everything is far superior by miles than the other average Asian restaurants. Super delicious food rich in taste and aroma. English speaking waiters that are alive, attentive, polite and engaging waiters. The location of the restaurant in a residential area and lack of customer rush makes it look like a back ally Asian takeaway. Once you come inside and sit down the difference in quality and attention to details is visible and apparent to anyone. The decor, hygiene, choice of music, the menu booklet, and the pleasant engaging of staff especially Mahad who makes the customer feel valued , and uplifts the mood straight away and is very reassuring that the order and food would be to your liking. Family and friendly atmosphere is an understatement. No cheap masala box ingredients are used but raw ingredients and spices. Sad and unhappy the owners have not done the right things to promote themselves and their location more. From the outside before stepping into the restaurant it is diss -encouraging as only empty red chairs are visible. It’s a shame as it’s amazing food and experience. Perhaps they could look into catering, or wedding and events managing. Genuinely, sincere and authentic Asian food you would eat again and again and have confidence in inviting other people for it or to it. Would highly recommend. It’s very difficult to critique the food and atmosphere. I’m a very fussy and pay attention to detail in everything is do and say. Hence it usually takes me a lot longer to write a review due to doing justice to the action of feedback. The price is typically average for an adult in line with any other food place £10-20 for food, drink, sauces, drinks and a sweet dish. But the quality is far superior hands down. Been a regular customer customer for 2-3 years. Amazing, beautiful and calm place to eat and relax. Recommendation for venue Bring the back cooking restaurant to the front road side open and an ice cream or milkshake section by the front of the shop so the busy end of the Norbery side train station is also available towards this side of norbery. The food is balanced, the quality and price is balanced, the Asian authentic food culture perfectly balance with the ethos and nuances of the English culture, Even the location of the restaurant is perfectly balanced between Thornton heath and Norbery, so it’s on the border. Do more to make yourself known and to promote yourself. Been in uk since 1996 and have have eaten at most known Asian restaurants from tooting to Southhall. Yours is the best I have eaten and visited but as a business you don’t have much exposure.

We had lamb nihar which was good

I placed a takeaway via Uber eats and I ordered the lamb Karachi , pilau rice , butter chicken , chilli paneer and butter tandoori roti. The lamb meat and the chicken meat in both the curries were quite dry but the flavour of both curries were very delicious. The pilau rice and roti was good too. However, the chilli paneer was quite flavourless.

delicious hot and good portions . my favourite for mughlai food

Best Pakistani food in London according to my Pakistani gf. Very friendly staff too.

Loveeeee the food hereeeee oh my goodness

This restaurant is owned by the so called leader of the 'Gohar Shahi' movement... please go do your research, you will find via companies house, the name this is filed under (Nasir who is the son of the founder of the Messiah/Mehdi International foundation, Younas AlGohar). I come here as a WARNER, the rest is on you. https://youtu.be/r4GzKbkc-94?si=IiAbQlufQAk0th5k #fitnagoharshai

The food from Karachi cuisine is always of a very high standard.

food lacked flavour and was not very good.

Very bad quality food without any taste.Never Recommend anyone .Not worth the price

I love Pakistani food and I got my Pakistani breakfast halwa puri with sweet lassi. Everything is mind blowing. I think everyone should must visit it and they can enjoy with this breakfast at week end. It makes my week end most extra ordinary. Thanks to Karachi’ s manager as well as its team members. Food and service excellent. Thanks to make my day and my week beautiful.

Really fresh and ddlicious food. Thank you.

Food is excellent and we keep coming back for the Bun kebab, Bihari Chicken Boti, Nihari, Haleem and Kheer. The juices, buffet and service is average at best. I do prefer delivery from here over eating in as once you're in the booth you're just left alone. No atmosphere so you might as well be comfy at home and luckily for us they deliver to us and we have been ordering or coming in for our favourites monthly for the past 3 years. Parking in the area is also very difficult so there is that too. Just to note though none of them will ever take the trouble to get to know us even if we continue this pattern for the next 20. The management and changing staff are mostly doing the bare minimum. We have other local favourites where it is a joy to go back to, we're even appreciated. Here it is just the food taste that keeps us coming back and the unique bun kebabs. We even have returning guests who request the bun kebabs and nihari immediately upon visiting us.

Very tasty and good quality and quantity. Will order again. Think one of the best out there.

amazing food amazing restaurant delivery driver very polite and friendly 👌

The service was quite slow despite the restaurant being relatively empty. This was disappointing as we had kids with us who fell asleep waiting for the food. The food wasn't to my personal taste, but that's just my own opinion. The milkshakes were good. This place was highly recommended by other people I know, so it may be a one-off bad experience for me, I'm afraid.

i love this restaurant this is the best please come visit and if you like it scan the barcode and give us your opinion thank you

Very good and tasty food 🥘 kids love it 🥰 thanks

One of good Pakistani restaurant in south london good tasty foods

Pros: They do sugar cane juice, albeit overpriced. Cons: Over rated restaurant offering the exact same dishes as those in restaurants closer to Norbury station. This restaurant is quite far out from the main stretch of Norbury restaurants so if you’re walking from the station like me, be warned. Service is non existent. Waited so long just to get a waiter to serve and even that was a salad, not the food we placed an order for 40 mins prior. Restaurant wasn’t even that busy. Prices are way higher than expected for this. It is of no higher level than anything found in Norbury. Management are extremely arrogant. Not impressed. They have a restaurant in Norbury but the attitude of Knightsbridge it’s the funniest thing to witness. Won’t be heading here again.

No complaints from me. Just lovely hot food as usual.

This is a place for real and authentic food of Pakistani taste I came here from USA but only the place Karachi Cuisine is a very great for food, customer service and all staff all are really appreciated because they are very helpful and all happy face🤗 and Manager was taking care for every customers at all the time. If you are in London or plan to visit must have to come at karachi Cuisine 👍👍

Absolutely love coming for dinner and will keep on coming. The samosas are onion bhaji is to die for. Love the Lamb Chops, butter chicken and the garlic naans always has so much flavour. This review still stand. Just been here again and it is even better than I remember. Lamb chops were big and juice. Can't wait for the next visit.

This Place is wonderful! Its very quiet, customer service is good and the food tastes amazing! Today I had chicken strips and chips, they were amazing. Thanks Karachi Cuisine for this amazing food!

World Class! The food was unlike any other Pakistani/Indian restaurant. Most of them are very mediocre, sometimes it’s just better to eat the food from home. But this restaurant truly does encapsulate the cuisine of Karachi. I had seekh kabob, delicious. Service was incredible, very polite and respectful. Not to mention, many shops in the UK seem very low quality, like we’re back in Pakistan but just from the outside you can tell this restaurant is a breed apart. Last but certainly not least, the bathrooms. An easy way to find out how nice of a place you are going to is, is to see what the bathrooms were like. Honestly, the best public bathroom I’ve been to.

Food is authentic. However, they can do better with service.

Food Nice and Del driver Mr azam always friendly highly re

Is a korma supposed to be so spicy?? Not the best if I'm honest.

Lovely food, delicious, hot and cooked with care, will be ordering again, and again
