Karahi King in Brent - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Loved eating and ordering here from so many years but something definitely changed this year as for a few months now the standards have dropped rapidly, food not being cooked all the way through, phone not answered when calling to complain (I try to never leave bad reviews before speaking to someone from the restaurant but after calling for ages to get an answer, the person who picked up did not speak much English) and finally, the portions feel like they got smaller. Really a shame when you have a good local you try to stick with it but I can't justify it.

The food is ve re y tasty and very well made. My Husband Kirun, myself pooja and father in law Ashok, love it and are regulars.

Great food and amazing service. Highly recommend!

Very good food and service. Staff were very accommodating and food was excellent.

Amazing 👏 service.Food was delicious will turely recommend to visit. NY Service was super friendly 🙌 Vinay was Outstanding

Very good food! The karahi methi chicken/tawa fish/lamb sheek kebab were superb! Vinay the waiter was superb and attentive. Great prices and portions! We went with family and it did not disappoint

Good service by Kajal. Food taste 3.5/5

Excellent food! We often order kebabs for takeaway. Really quick and ready within 20 mins for collection. The staff are super friendly and chatty, really nice team. And the food is delicious! We love their kebabs - really tasty with a delicious spicy kick. Have eaten other dishes too many many years ago but the kebabs are our fav. Oh and the chutneys too!

I ordered a takeaway from here for the first time in 25 years. Well it’s changed hands since, but thank god it had. New owners only 10 months ago, and I can see it’s achieved glowing reviews since. The food is superb. I have the lamb Byriani and is was delicious.this will now be my local go to, as the prices were so reasonable also. It’s a minute walk from North Wembley train station and well worth a visit for the food. The chef needs a shout out. Well done Karahi King! Excellent 5 stars.

Please state that Paneer chilli is gravy and not dry. Didn't like that taste at all of chilli paneer too much tomato 🍅 puree and tastes very sour.

Amazing service from the team at Karahi ! The food was lovely and the staff were amazing .

Been hoping to come here for years and not disappointed! Will definitely come again. All very tasty and fresh.

Awful tasting food!! Over the years I have enjoyed great tasting food from this restaurant. However, I think they have recently changed management & unfortunately the standards have dramatically dropped. The Karahi dishes we ordered were akin to sloppy bland tasting watered down curries that you would expect to find in a prison kitchen!! The internal decor was also awful. Avoid at all costs!!

Authentic test of india, also its good place to have take away food

Xcellent prices with West Asian delicacy and taste with Nostalgic vibes all around. Simply superb and beat/ tick all Boxes.. 👍🏻👍🏻🤩🤩😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

I liked the old kk but this one was nice the food was realy good tho.

I highly recommend this place if you are craving authentic Indian dishes the food and the vibes were so cute and lovely that I just fell in love with the place. I am really happy that there were a lot of vegetarian options

Food was absolutely amazing, jahnvi who served me was brilliant and so helpful. Will definitely be back!

The food is really good. Definitely worth the money!!

Excellent service and top quality food , Amazing service . Will definitely visit again.

Great Food & service by well organised Management

Amazing food. Karahi chicken, masala fish, karahi chana. One of the best in London.

Seemingly microwaved food. Drink and food dumped on table . Compulsory and unlawful of course service charge

The food was absolutely amazing, Amrita who served me was so friendly and sweet will be coming back, definitely will be bringing my friends and family

Nice Restaurant. Everything we ordered was tasty and the portions were big. The food arrived very fast

Excellent customer service, Good food fast service

Amazing food , fresh and delicious

We came here for with colleagues from work, they were very accommodating, the food was very good. Would come here again.

Amazing service and people are lovely

I have been going to Karahi King for the past 20+ years. For me i think this is one of the best Pakistani/Indian food.

Kharahi king has definitely transformed because the food was exquisite and Ashfaq the chef is still the King with his cooking. Amrita the server was so polite and welcoming. Food 10/10. Definitely coming back for sure

Not sure whose fault it is, delivery driver or restaurant but food is cold. Rice is cold, naan bread is not fresh and for sure it’s far more than cold. Won’t be using this restaurant again!

The team made a super effort to offer a flexible service. Really impressed.

The food was absolutely delicious and served with a genuine smile. I will be going back for more. New owner is very hospitable.

Amrita who served us with smile . Excellent service, delicious food . Drinks service so quick. I highly recommend this place for Indian food.

Way over priced, spent a total of £78, barley enough to feed two people, mixed grill £28 feeds one person, £6.45 per seekh kebab whereas other restaurants give portions, ridiculously small portions, threw away 5 naans out of 7 as nothing to eat them with! Ended up ordering from another reasonably priced take away to feed guests, got twice as much food for spending half the money. Won't be ordering from Karahi King again, feel totally ripped off.

Very nice well done place is great after the refurbishment, food was great as always, recommend to everyone

Food is on point. Authentic and just like home. Some unique dishes with some real genuine flavours…. The veal is a must! My favourite Indian local for sure! Staff are super friendly too!

Good kebab started and chicken mains, very nice naan

Excellent food as always. Cannot fault. New owner very friendly and will try and accommodate any special requests. Would highly recommend

Delicious food! Great service. The Chicken kaphrial, a new dish on the menu, recommended by the owner was very tasty. Would highly recommend!

I love the food at this place, and have been ordering here for years.

Fantastic service from Jahnvi and the new dishes were really tasty. Will definitely be back .

Popped in for a quick evening meal. Absolutely fantastic. If I'm ever back in the area I'll be back without a doubt.

Good Ambience,good food,good service. Overall very good. Must try Lamb Seekh Kebabs.😊😍

Been coming for 25 years and standard has remained the same and the restaurant has stood the test of time. Would recommend for anyone looking for a good south Asian meal in general

As always the food standards are maintained in this place. We ordered our regular.... Starter: chicken tikka, mogo masala mains:karhai gosht, Tandoori roti and peshawri naan. Food tasted immaculate. The chef deserves an award for maintaining the quality and taste. The lady who seated us was very customer focused. Overall an excellent experience. Will be visiting again

Food was very delicious the owner was very welcoming I would recommend going again

We ordered seekh kabab and Tarka daal and rice. Seekh kababs was burnt and so as naans as well Kabab came first and they are gonna make naan afterwards I complained about it as well x Person who was taking orders he was not so trained Tarka daal portion and rice was so less Disappointed Food was so expensive as well Quality wasn’t nice as before Beware pls try taste of Lahore they are much better now Not recommended

Kharai King is a very well run restaurant, its food is very well made and definitely delicious. Tried many of their dishes near and veg all made with perfectos. Weather you eat their or order through just eat for home it is mouth watering brilliantly made.

New ownership, food lost is flavour, chef doesn't care, now you cannot bring your own booze. Been coming for 40yrs as the food was so good. Real shame. RIP Karahi King.... Back to Lahori at Eastcote!

Thank you all members of Karahi king staff for making excellent food for my party last week, everything you prepared was well received by all my guests 50 in total ant the biryani both veg and non veg were exceptional

I have no clue how these guys have 4* They do not even deserve 1 star if I had an option,food was discusting atmosphere hygiene was never there had to keep calling for service, sticky chairs and tables,sorry will never go again

Moderate food taste would say. Definitely wouldn't recommend the biryanis there both the ghost and chicken. It's like a taste of meat mixed with rice. Customer service is definitely good. Kebabs are juicy no doubt. Just the rice dishes needs a massive improvement to be honest as it's just a title on the menu.

I’ve been living in this area for over 20 years. So many of my friends have hyped up this place. I finally made it here for dinner. We ordered masala fish, kebabs, chicken, naan & egg fried rice. When we asked for a Karachi chicken the waiter huffed at us as he was annoyed we put in a last order. However we arrived at 11pm as on Google Maps it shows that the restaurant closes at 12am. - this is incorrect. Masala fish - texture was good but bland. Kebab sauce tasted awful - I’ve never tasted anything like this in my life! I am a foodie, I know what tastes right. Absolutely disappointed at the quality of the food. The chicken portion was tiny. The bill came up to £51 which is not worth it at all. You’re better off going to Lamar Perivale or Lahore Kingsbury.

Always good quality and tasty food. A varied menu for meat and veg foodies.

Food generally excellent Good value for money. A big plus is you can take your own booze. Better at lunchtime then dinner.

The chicken biryani was the worst I ever had in Wembley it was just rice and chilli powder the butter chicken was watery and lacked flavor and was nothing like butter chicken

My favourite place for food. You can't go wrong. Been going here for years!

Fantastic service and food as usual

This restaurant has not corrected its hygiene and cleanliness issues. As a family of 5 we suffered with Salmonella poisoning. The staff serve unrefrigerated/warm salad, under cooked grilled food and reheated mains. The toilets are filthy with faeces and urine all over the seats and floor. In all my visits, I have never seen anyone clean anything, and there is definitely cross contamination in this premises. Food hygiene rating is at 2 currently, and seems its been like that for a while. The owners don't seem to care nor improve practices. Avoid at all costs!

This restarurant has gone down hill badly. Food is either uncooked or cold. Main dishes are reheated, and are cold within minutes. Grilled food is too spicy even when asking for mild. No hot platters, just cold plates, and the staff dont care and come and listen to your conversations. The staff have ruined this place and dont care about the food, ambience and service. Toilets are disgusting.. My 3 year old got food poisioning from their disgusting food. Avoid this place at all costs...

The owner and staff very polite and service is excellent 👌

Only had vegetarian food and it's just about ok. Nothing special to say.

Very tasty food Can take your own alcohol from outside Portions are little

I have been coming here for 39 years and it is still great

I went to Karahi King after 4 years and what can I say about the food, just excellent and still the same taste.

Think the chef has changed. Food doesn't taste like it used to.shame...as i had especially taken a friend there for a treat.

Delicious food, but very greasy. Chef should try and drain it off before packing in takeaway containers. But delicious

We ordered from this Pakistani restaurant but were extremely disappointed. The food was swimming in oil looked overcooked burnt and disgusting. We ordered both veg and non veg. It was cold and tasted of nothing. Very poor quality and probably the worst restaurant in Wembley. It was very expensive. We had to throw it all away and to top it, part of our order was wrong! Actually it deserves zero stars but unfortunately I cannot give less than 1 star. Please do not waste your money here. You will definitely go hungry and regret it.

Rather upset, we had reservations... Pretty much everything we asked for on their recently updated menu was no longer served... Makes no sense. Won't visit again.

Useless place they didnt even half the stuff on the menu that they advertised. So pathetic. Take it off the menu then. Place looks dingy too.

Dead food, small portions…very disappointed. Could’ve had a much better experience elsewhere for the price we paid! Not going back here in a hurry! Not what it used be…shame!

Had dinner here after many years and food has downgraded. All gravy is the same for each dish waste of money

Wonderful food at this low-key restaurant in wembley. we got seekh kebabs , kharahi ghost and chicken tikka it was all excellent but a bit spicy. Decor is a bit dated but adds to the personality of the restaurant.

Had the seekh kebabs, Karahi chicken, Karahi keema, chicken tikka, samosas, naan and rice. You can't beat the rustic food. It's true comfort food at its best.

Absolutely the best place to eat for curry lovers. Incredible customer service and flavour made with love. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. Trust me on this one. You’ll thank me later!

Best Karahi chicken and seekh kebabs in the country hands down. The food is to die for and has been a family favourite for years. It's my go-to food when when I want to be reminded of my childhood. Keep doing what you're doing because I'll always go back.

Seven of us went on a Sunday afternoon. All food, starters, mixed grill, chicken tikka, Sheesh kebab as well as the mains were very good. Did not wait for long before the food came. We have been regulars since so many years and the food especially the main Karahi dishes were exceptionally good. We have been to many places but nothing beats the Karahi dishes at KK.

Real Indian food as Spicey as you want , friendly staff fast service reasonable prices no alcohol bring in your own is allowed

One North London's finest original Lahore restaurants. Hadn't been here for over 25 years. Interior and menu wise not much has changed. Sadly the food was less than average, the kebabs had off smell, the keema was swimming in oil. Staff and chef were nice, just let down by quality and taste of food. Honest review.

From outside and in, looked like the same authentic experience - same layout, spicy smells, greasy menus etc but friendly atmosphere. For old times sake I ordered kebabs and methi keema, man and pilau rice. Sadly, the food didn't live up to expectations: the kebabs had an iffy smell, didn't want to say anything, but curiously tasted just about acceptable. The keema was drowning in oil, I scooped out most of it on a plate. Didn't taste any good either, just the oil! Funny as I arrived I did speak to the chef and exchanged memories of the restaurant from 30 years ago, very convevial, and I said I was looking forward to being served "first class" food. Sadly on this experience it didn't happen, this was once an institution of excellent Lahore style food, but trading on past glories? That's my honest opinion.

Small portions and hardly any meat in the chicken dishes I had ordered

Waited a long time and the quality of the Kebabs was questionable ?, Spend the night in the wash Room will not be going there again.

The restaurant was not very busy but the easier kept attending to just one table and ignoring all the other tables until the chef/owner kept reminding him. The food was good and seems to have improved since my last visit a few years ago. We had a variety of starters and main course. All decent enough. I would go back.

Never had a bad meal here. Fresh and authentic flavours. Karahi knows that spice makes all things nice. Hard to dispute as one of the best in London.

Biriani and karahi chicken was too good. Mutton kebabs were so Juicy you'd be putting your taste buds on fire. Thumbs up !

You went get better homemade and authentic Indian/Pakistani food then this place. The best!

Fantastic food. Same consistency since I 1st visited in 1989

I would give 5 stars if the place was cleaner, almost every piece of cutlery plate or glass was stained. But the food was faultless.

The Kebabs were freshly prepared and quite tasty. The Methi Chicken with Naan Roti and buttered Tandoori Naan were all yummy. Enjoyed our visit there. Would recommend it.

Same people been cooking the food for years and trust me, it is amazing. I’ve seen lots of reviews from newer arrivals to the area who don’t know just how legendary this place is. I’m tired of people saying it’s gone downhill, how could it have after having the same personnel for well over 25 years? Yes the salad can be dry, yes the area of North Wembley is rundown, but the actual Karahi’s and starters are the best!

Hands down the best Pakistani restaurant in London...been going here for decades (family has been going here since they opened)...the closest to "home-cooked" that one will ever find. Surprised it's not rated 5 Stars !

Good freindly service,nice food reasonable price

I have been ordering take always for many years and the kebabs, lamb chops and naans are amazing. Best in the country! It’s not a restaurant I would choose to eat in because of parking. sadly the biriani is now so spicy that it is inedible and the veg dishes lack flavour.

Food always on point but the signature passion fruit drink no longer on the menu . Please bring it back !

Slow service, very limited vegatarian menu and the food was bland.

The food here is always consistently good and it was good, can’t fault it! They have done away with the passion fruit drink, why?? It was a winner so makes no sense! Also ran out of lamb tikka on a Friday night at 7.30pm which is strange.

Best curry I've had in years. Super quick service, and tasted amazing. The karahi gosht was so tender and the mutter paneer was great!
