    Masala fries
    Kristina F.

    I was really intrigued by this spot popping up on my Yelp when we were looking for something to eat in the area. When you walk in, the space is huge with plenty of seating. The kitchen is enormous, it is definitely designed for catering. Service was friendly and patient with our indecisiveness. We decided to try: Dubai Paratha Burger - two patties, melted cheese, grilled onions and jalapenos, between two paratha. Milder than anticipated but very filling. Chapli Burger - this was absolutely bomb. The patty was chapli kebab, so it was rich and spiced and loaded with minced herbs and veggies. Add the red onion, jalapenos, and chutney, it was spicy, complex, and delicious. Masala Fries - Just fries, but completely coated in masala spice blend. So delicious. I definitely recommend obliging your curiosity and considering trying this spot out!

    Karachi BBQ tonight provides some amazing Pakistani barbecue dishes right off the 91 freeway in Bellflower/Lawndale. They're located in a strip mall off the freeway with ample parking and plenty of seating inside. Their interior has a nice mural of traditional Pakistani life and sites as well as famous LA locations/people. We ordered the behari kabab, chicken tikka leg and thigh, nihari, and plenty of naan. We were pleasantly surprised to see them selling nihari, which for now is part of their limited time menu. The behari kabab was amazing, literally melts in your mouth with every bite, and pairs well with both their chutneys. The chicken tikka was well seasoned and had a nice smokey flavor. The nihari had a generous portion size and was very flavorful, and loaded with beef. One thing I really liked about this place was all the food was made to order, including the naan, which were pipping hot and crispy. One thing which would make this place even better would be to offer lassi or falooda options. This was a delicious meal and a great alternative to bundoo khan for LA natives looking for another halal option!

    Chicken Malai.

    The wife and I were very excited to try this place out. We ordered the chicken Tikka and also the chicken Malai and this is what we received. The picture is of the Malai . They charge $14.99 for this plate with no sides. It doesn't even look like what they jave pictured in the restaurant. I don't feel that this warrants a $14 dollar price. I don't think I will be going back.

    Dubai Smash Burger

    The place: Great spot to bring the family! Lots of parking and long tables to accommodate large families. Clean space with plates, napkins and settings/utensils available easily as well as to go boxes. This is a big convenience. Decor - Awesome mural of Karachi on the wall evokes memories of childhood. Other side has framed photos of various sites. Across from the main wall is the cooking area where you can see the culinary artists at work. Food: This is what we're here for! We got a variety of selection choices to taste the menu to cover a few areas of whats on offer here - Dubai Smashburger - a pretty good spin on the traditional burger, with tastes of Pakistani cooking coming through clearly in the patties, but accentuated with American cheese and burger sauce. Patties were a little overdone, but not too much. Paratha was great! Well caramelized onions elevates the flavor profile. Chicken tikka and beef seekh kabab - perfect quality, excellent taste and fair portions. Paired with Naan...and you got exactly what you want. Naan - deserves its own section. Lots of ppl dont get this right. Either its too thin or it's burnt. These guys have well cooked puffy naan and good naan just takes desi food to the next level. Biryani - authentic flavors of spices and plenty of rice and chicken and cooked-through potato. Places typically have either overdone rice or undercooked potatoes and this place was able to avoid both mistakes. Masala fries - shoestring fries fried to perfection with masala sprinkled on top. What more do you need? Things to improve: Maybe serve dishes with plenty of red onion, cucumber and raita/yogurt on the side as most desi definitely want chuchumer or salad with their BBQ/tandoori. Will definitely be coming back and bringing family & friends!

    Wow, wow, wow! The reviews speak for themselves. If you're looking for an authentic barbecue Pakistani restaurant, this beats every single one of them in all of Orange County. It's a little hidden gem that open just a month ago. It's got plenty of seating inside with the open kitchen layout. The aroma of the food being cooked can be smelt within the restaurant and make sure you even hungrier. This is a family own business, and a father does a lot of catering and has a kitchen literally opposite side of the restaurant. I am so impressed with the place. As I walked in, I was greeted right away by the Owner Son who helped guide me on the top selling items, but I couldn't help but get one of almost everything .

    More burnt naans

    Avoid This Place - Raw-Smelling Food and Zero Service ​Service & The "Tip Trap": The setup here is entirely "self-help," which is shocking for the prices they charge. There are no menus; you order off a TV screen and are asked to tip upfront. I regret tipping, because there is zero service. You are given a buzzer and must fetch your own food from the counter, along with your own plates, straws, and napkins. ​Hygiene Concerns: The self-serve station was a mess. The sauce bottles in the small fridge were uncleaned and sticky. I actually had to go through several stacks of plates and napkins just to find ones that were visibly clean. On top of that, they kept the front doors wide open instead of using the AC, so the entire dining area--which was a "ghost town" of nearly 100 empty chairs--was swarming with flies and mosquitoes. We spent our entire visit swatting bugs away from our baby. ​The Food Quality: We couldn't even finish our meal. The Chicken Karahi had a raw, unappealing smell and the meat was undercooked. The oil tasted old and "off," and both the fries and the naan were served completely burnt. Even my toddler, who usually loves this food, took one bite and refused the rest. ​The Reality: We left the food practically untouched and walked out. It is confusing how a place with such poor hygiene and "self-serve" standards has high ratings. If you expect basic cleanliness, fresh-smelling food, or any level of actual service, stay away. We won't be back.

    We visited Karachi BBQ on the night of their soft launch and decided to go all in--we ordered everything on the menu, from Gola Kebabs and Chicken Tikka to the standout Chapli Kebabs and Karahi. Let me just say: the Chapli Kebabs were out of this world--juicy, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. The Chicken Karahi was equally impressive, rich in flavor and cooked to perfection. But the real surprise? The Naan. So fresh, pillowy, and hot off the tandoor--it's easily some of the best I've had in the city. The place is new, but if this first night is any indication, Karachi BBQ is going to become a go-to spot for anyone craving authentic Pakistani BBQ. Can't wait to go back. Service was fantastic as well! Food came out fast.

    This place is like a wow Walking into Karachi BBQ Tonite feels like stepping into the streets of Karachi--smoke in the air, grills fired up, and bold desi flavors everywhere. The seekh kababs are juicy, the malai boti melts in your mouth, and the bihari boti is packed with smoky heat. Fresh naan, creamy raita, and a strong chai tie it all together. Fast service, generous portions, and real flavor. This spot hits

    Tried out Karachi BBQ Tonight in Lakewood with my family and honestly, it was incredible. The place is super clean and has a chill, no-fuss vibe, which I really appreciate when I'm with the family. The real star here is the food. Every single thing we ordered was packed with flavor--like, you could actually taste the spices and the smoke from the grill. You can tell they care about doing it right. We left full and already talking about what we're going to try next time.

    Decent Pakistani cuisine, halal. Chicken biryani and kadahi were good, Dhaaga kabob were my favorite. Bihari kabob were very soft but lacked actual Bihari flavor. Overall decent food but would prefer a kick uo in the spice level.

    Hira R.

    I'm still thinking about the chapli kabob, falooda, and the naan. The naan was definitely the best i've had in LA. Very doughy and pillowy. This place is not the same thing as the one in Karachi but it's still so good with its own menu items. I need to come back to try their dubai burger!

We tried Al Karam out as we were told that the restaurant is the best Pakistani restaurant in the Inland Empire and this is 100% true! Veggie Pakora: just the right amount of spices - deliciously crispy and tender on the inside. Lamb Karahi: tender lamb in a wonderful tomato based sauce. we were asked for spice level: asked for level 7 out of 10 (will try higher next time). Paneer Tikka Masala: Paneer texture was just right (often and easy for overcook), flavors were great! Portion is large Mango Lassi: what a great treat!

Everyone was friendly and welcoming, which made the visit more enjoyable. Prices are around $20 per plate, which is reasonable, especially since we ordered a few dishes and shared everything. Service-wise, the wait time was a bit longer than expected. Our food took about 30 minutes to come out, and it felt even longer considering it wasn't a busy weekend. Not a huge issue, but something to keep in mind if you're really hungry. Food was interesting in a good way. The curry dishes have a lighter color and a different flavor compared to typical Indian cuisine. You can tell it's a Pakistani style. I enjoyed trying something different, although I personally still prefer the richer, more familiar Indian flavors. The samosas were very good, and the green sauce, I believe it's called hari, was especially delicious and added a nice kick. The mango lassi drink was a surprise highlight. I'm usually not a big fan of mango lassi, but this one was super delicious. Honestly felt like a hidden gem on the menu. ***One thing to note, check your receipt before paying. They already include an 18% gratuity, and there's still a section to add an additional tip. Overall, the food was delicious, portions were satisfying, and we all left full and happy. Solid 4 stars. I'd come back again, just with a little patience for the wait.

So moist and not burnt like a lot of other places. You can easily pull it apart with your fingers as it screams, "eat me! eat me!", with delight. The chicken tikka masala's flavor was amazing! I like to try things mild first to see how they taste. Some places serve bland food and mask it with spiciness. Not here. The flavor is all there. Next time I think I'm going to adventure on the wild side and try the medium and then possibly the spicy. The included salad was simple yet so satisfying. The dressing is definitely unique and packs a punch with the spice level but... I like it. *wink* *wink* hahhaa. The rice was perfection. I hate it when it's not cooked enough and too mushy or overcooked and hard. Originally I was going to eat half tonight and then the other half tomorrow but... I know myself. I would just go to bed, wake up in the middle of the night thinking about it, then not be able to go back to sleep until I finished the rest because it would keep calling my name from the kitchen. Hahahaha. I didnt get to see the inside because I got it to go but I'll let you guys know in an update. The staff there is great and they seem like a very nice family.

I love how big the naan is that they give you. They make it fresh too. Even though I've tried a bunch of their skewers, this time I tried the fish karahi, which came with my choice of naan or rice. I chose naan. It was really good but it was a little too spicy for me. The cashier told me they could add yogurt the next time around. However, what really stood out is how the fish was cooked. I feel in American restaurants, fish is just cooked in a way that makes it just taste ok. However, at like Chinese restaurants, they really know how to make the fish taste amazing and have it be so plump and juicy. They make their fish like that here!
