This place does not nearly get the praise they deserve! The butter chicken is fantastic! AND cheap!! The butter chicken is the main reason for my review. I did not think a franchise would have such rich and spicy, and a tad sweet butter chicken but I was wrong! Karachi Kitchen Dixie location has become my favourite spot in Mississauga for butter chicken and also the cheapest at a whopping $6.25/order. For my lunch today consisting of butter chicken, rice, two spring rolls and a chicken samosa I paid LESS than 15 bucks! And I have left overs for dinner. You really can't go wrong with picking up lunch here through out the work week. My typical call-in takeout order is butter chicken, rice, garlic naan and some snacks. They have these containers of snacks like samosas, spring rolls, fish etc that you can ask for when you pick up your order, I like choosing what I want when I get there and they just add it to my takeout order. One thing though is they don't adjust the curries to your taste (mild/med/hot) as they cook it in one pot. I personally find the butter chicken spiced to my taste (spicy) but I know others may not be a fan of this so may be worth making note of this when you order. And OH I also can't wait to try their $5 biryani which I'v seen raved about! (FYI, the guy that posted the 1 star review about the place and posted photos of it proves he didn't actually go here; this location is takeout only, there are no tables with plates, let alone silver cutlery LOL) Go here!! read more

KK Ridgeway is good food, service, value. Luv the menu signage! And staff was very nice and accommodating of our taste requirements. I run the curries, esp lamb. I recommend! read more

While their biryani is great their chicken korma on the other hand is so bad. I ordered one today and when i got home, i was surprised to see it full of ghee. The korma i know is creamy looking food, not the one like in the picture, oily and taste bad. There's so much oil in it that I was afraid america might invade my food for oil. read more

Karachi Kitchen - Brampton Location - Lunch Time This establishment was recommended to me several times...Decided to go there on the way to work to get some takeout lunch (Should have read review prior to heading there) WHAT A MISTAKE Service: - Downright bad - they are rude and disrespectful to customers - Staff extremely disorganized - They ill treat customers who are paying for the food not asking for free food (charity). Ordered: - Seekh Kabob and Naan which was hard a rock inside - seemed it was cooked earlier and left aside to dry out. Price: Over priced Taste: Mediocre - bland - below par compared to most restaurants Overall: Overall waste of money If I could give 0 stars I would. I asked person at the counter if they make fresh Kabob and was told yes. Kabob was hard as rock. They treat paying customers so poorly (They don't realize customer's work really hard to earn money they don't get it for free) you definitely lost me as a customer. Also I do not recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

Affordable, tasty. The best. Highly recommended for people who want to try authentic Pakistani dishes.

family friend picked biryani from this store, when we served it. One of the family member found a blade in the food. this is crazy, you guys have no inspecting your food. he could have got injured, how can you sell something like that to anyone. you guys should close down, if you cant cook. read more

If you like Pakistani flavors, try this place. Their Chicken Biryani (fried chicken mixed with rice) is really good. The best thing about this place is the the food is always fresh. The serving is really good especially the rice dishes. I have tried other places too, but quality and taste wise I like their Chicken Biryani. You can order mild or spicy. There are other dishes too, like Chicken Tandori, Fish Pakoras , fresh Naan.They also carry Pakistani desserts like rice puddings, sweet yellow color rice. Prices are reasonable, around $5-7. Their kebabs are not so fresh as I found them extremely cold from inside, had to return it. There is no eating area, take out only. The entrance is quite shabby, they can do better. 4 stars is for the food. read more

Have been eating at Karachi kitchen for 4 years now. Their biryani is AMAZING. Their curries are just average. I have tried biryani from every restaurant from GTA, I have to say, Karachi kitchen has the best biryani. The service is quick and there's always a lot of customers lined up here when I arrive. However, the service is always quick and very friendly! Every time I come here, I get several chicken biryanis. Their spicy chicken biryani is always fresh, moist and the chicken is super flavourful. I come here on a weekly basis just for their biryani. So good! read more

Rice. Lots and lots of rice. I ordered the Chicken Biryani which came so highly recommended, and boy, do they give you a lot of rice. Check out the pics I uploaded. The box is absolutely stuffed with flavorful, aromatic rice. I swear after poking around I thought to myself, "um... where's the chicken" as it takes a good amount of digging before you find the treasure, two chicken drumsticks buried in the mountain of carbs. Don't take this as a complaint though, the rice has a good aroma, is flavored nicely with saffron and is generally really good. On the downside, the chicken itself was small (like I mentioned, two small drumsticks) and didn't have much seasoning, but for $5 it's a good deal overall. If you want a cheap meal, enjoy Indian rice or want to feel like a pirate searching for treasure, check out the chicken biryani. I'll probably try other items on the menu though if I go back. read more

Went in there for their special kebab with a garlic none came out extremely mushy wasn't cooked properly. I could hardly taste anything when the waitress came to me to ask me I said it was too mushy and the owner stood up and said it should be mushy. This is how it's done in Karachi nonsense. It looked like dog food, and I was very very upset. He didn't even acknowledge, anything about the food very arrogant read more

I have been getting Catering done for years now with them for any big Family dinners and lunches. This location has a better chef then Medowale town centre location. Price: its not too expensive and not too cheap either, when compared to other similar business in the area. Food: that's what you pay for. The food is good and cooked properly. Their chicken biryani is quite good. Service: Their order service is quite fast but when you go for pick up usually they are slow and you have to wait.... Make sure you check all the items as they always forget to give raita (yoghurt sauce). Happened to me 3 times. Parking: there is plenty of parking as it part of strip mall. All in all the FOOD keeps us coming back! read more

This is an excellent place for good cheap eats. Their prices are very reasonable, and the quality is good, but you do get what you pay for in terms of portion and amount of meat. We have ordered the Chicken Biryani and the Fried Fish. There is also a daily walk-in special for about $5.00. read more

This place makes the best Chicken Tikka & Behari Kabobs, my only complaint is that I live too far away! Friendly counter staff, nice waiting area for a take-out place, and they're pretty fast. Just wish they had dine-in, since I drive here from the east end of Scarborough. This place makes me Happy :-) read more

Tasty food and fast service. There is a lot of rice but the box is packed that if they gave the normal amount of rice you would have thought it was fine. read more

Headline: Decent food for really cheap prices So a heap load of rice and a couple large pieces of chicken for $5? Fried fish for $5? Can't beat that price. As I am getting older, my spice tolerance has decreased so I ordered the chicken biriyani and fried fish. The biriyani was tasty and still had a nice kick to it. What I liked most about it was they give you a huge chicken leg and a wing with a few slices of chicken. While some would prefer diced chicken, I much prefer meat on the bone. Also for $5 for 2 pcs of chicken is cheaper than a KFC or Popeye's. I also ordered the fried fish. Fish is nicely battered, has a slight burnt taste to it, but you can definitely tell it's fish. Dislike - takeout only Verdict: Meal on the cheap. Great value. Will visit again. read more

Lamb biryani should be rightly called POTATO biryani. I was so looking forward as the lamb biryani is made only on Friday and Saturday. I bought 2 portions of lamb biryani from the mississauga branch this Saturday. Besides the poor taste and sticky rice all it had were big chunks of POTATO and a couple of tiny pieces of lamb. Besides the poor quality it's a CHEATING a customer who has been charged for lamb and been given only POTATO... read more

Best chicken biryani and beef samosas and very friendly cashiers. Quantity is sooo much that 2 people can have good dinner.

I have done take out here at many time and their chicken briyani is my absolute favorite. The price is very reasonable and they give a lot of food. At one poibt I have stopped as the briyani used to be very dry and very little gravy but now its back to normal. Its a great chicken briyani spot. read more

Chicken biryani is tasty and good value. The fried fish was tender with good spices. I didn't try anything else. I would go back for those 2 items. read more

I really like ethnic food and usually frequent Pakistani restaurants with family and tonight was one of those nights. We ordered Kharahi chicken, chicken biryani, Kebobs and butter chicken, another other items. The Kabobs seems to have been made before and they just warmed it for us (that's a big no-no) they are supposed to make fresh food. And the butter chicken tasted like eating out a garbage can - disgusting butter chicken ever.. read more

Karachi Kitchen - Karachi grill :) - Pakistani Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

We ordered chicken biryani platter for 5-6 people, butter chicken, channa masala, 3 types of samosas, lamb kabobs, and Arita which came with the biryani. The biryani was awful, no taste, lots of rice with a few pieces of chicken and way too spicy for medium. Very disappointing as we ordered to take back to Ottawa. Do not recommend this restaurant and will never buy from them again. Tone down the medium spice level. read more

Get yourself a tonne of flavourful food on the cheap!! I am vegetarian but sometime while I was pregnant with my daughter I was craving fish and indulged "just once". Turns out I am having difficulty kicking the habit and it is especially difficult with a place like this around!! I have the vegetarian biryani which was under $5 and lasted for 3 meals! As well as the fried fish which I think is $5. The veg biryani is not made with chicken broth and cooked separately from the meat items. The flavour initially was okay but great after pouring the included sauce over it and even better the next day. The fish? Omg the fish! Crispy outside and moist juicy soft fish inside. Absolutely perfect! I drool just thinking about it. It is take out only which is fine by me and it looks like they renovated recently. I was told the place looks ghetto but it definitely does not! My food was made to order so super fresh. We had to wait 20 minutes for it but it was so fresh that even after driving home to Toronto with it I still managed to burn the roof of my mouth! Oh, one more note about the biryani, I have never seen such long grain rice! It has got to be 3x longer than the rice we use at home and it is cooked to perfection! Update: we continue to eat here and maintain that the food is superb but have to drop them a couple stars because we need a strategy when ordering from here. We have to anticipate how late the food will be, order that far in advance and then show up at least 30 minutes later than they tell you it will be ready. Unfortunately this doesn't even work. Sometimes we order an hour in advance, they say it'll be ready in 20 minutes, we get there after an hour and still have to wait anywhere between 15-30 minutes. These folks are simply determined to keep you waiting. read more

I'm here all the time for lunch and it's amazing food for incredibly cheap. Everyone there is really nice and quick, I'm usually holding my food after the 10 minute drive down there. The chicken biryani is really good, spicy and made properly with saffron, peppercorns and whole cloves. It's absolutely massive, 2 meals on it's own and it's less than $5 with tax. Their butter chicken is fantastic, not too tomatoey and rich. The eggplant curry is really rich and spicy. The haleem is a standout, slow stewed beef in a thick wheaty gravy. I even like their daal, it's rich and spicy, and the spinach and potato curry is like 3 bucks and really filling. Their naans are gigantic, almost steering-wheel big, and thick and doughy. Their reshmi kabobs are just sublime, so spicy and delicious. They make shami and bihari kebabs that are fantastic too. They also offer fried fish, Basa, a river fish from Vietnam that is so tasty when done in a masala batter. The best part may actually be their desserts, they make a killer kheer, rice pudding with cardamom and a decent gajjar ka halwa. I keep coming back here all the time, and it's always delicious and fresh. Give it a try if you want great food for great prices. read more

Best lamb biryani that I've ever had. I've been coming to this place once a week for 4 years now and I have never been disappointed. I've tried biryani from a ton of places in Mississauga and Brampton and nothing even comes close to the quality and favour at Karachi Kitchen. The lamb biryani can easily feed 2-3 people. read more

Karachi Kitchen is my favourite Pakistani food place! This is as perfect and authentic as it gets. I only wish it was a sitdown place because having to smell the irresistible deliciousness on the way back downtown from Mississauga in the car is just torture. They have the best Bihari kebab(marinated tender beef cooked on a charcoal flame) I've had in Canada. Amazing Biryani(rice dish with either lamb or chicken) and mouthwatering curries. AND It's cheap to boot! I ordered 2 orders of bihari kebab, 4 naans(hot from a clay oven), and 2 different types of curries( to share ofcourse) and it only came up to $30!! They cater parties as well, and you can call ahead to order for pickup. If you are serious about your curries and kebabs and don't mind spicy food, this place is the place to go. read more

A good treat if you are in mood for Pakistani food! If you are looking for value and taste, the combination is Karachi Kitchen. We mostly order this for our group gatherings as it's affordable in bulk quantity. This is a take out location and it's a pretty busy location, so make sure you order well in advance. The Biryani here has a distinctive taste which makes it special, the spice level is good, but not too much. The best part is that the other items on menu are delicious as well specially the Reshmi Kababs and surely the Chicken Tikka, it's marinated so well, you will savor it till last. Even the Karahi and Nihari are tasty as well. The downsize to this place is the wait time, if you haven't ordered well before, there are high chances you will have to wait long. Once I ordered bulk quantity the night before for early pickup the next morning, but still had to wait 45mins, was told they were short staffed. Also when you call them, you should be lucky that they pick up in first call because they are so busy, so keep trying, there have been times I have called 10times before I actually someone. All in All, the wait is worth it and you will never regret it !! read more

Biryani was very good. Staff was friendly. I will try ordering from here again. Maybe optional white meat could be possible

Might I say, best biriyani ever?! Probably not the truest statement, but still, the biriyani is pretty damn good! And for $5 something bucks, quite the deal. Karachi Kitchen is a takeout joint. They have recently undergone some renovations and fancied up the place a bit. Pakistani owned, so don't expect the best butter chicken or fish (both are Indian delicacies). But, go ahead and order yourself some biriyani, haleem, nihari and kebabs. You won't regret it. read more

This establishment was recommended to me several times by food afficionados, so I had to see for myself what all the hype was about. I was warned beforehand that it was take-out only, but that never deters me, I literally post up outside take out spots with my mates and we slay food off our trunks. The Behari Kebab was outstanding, literally exploding with flavour and presented not in your standard kebab manner. Seekh Kebabs were the next best and quite possibly the best "seekh kebabs" I have ever had. So juicy and seasoned perfectly, I was in heaven thus far. We also ordered reshmi kebabs but I was not overly impressed, I believe it was chicken but also tasted as tho there were egg in it too but just not for me. Butter chicken was creamy, thick and seasoned well, this is not the establishment you would go to if you were looking for the best BC in the GTA, but nonetheless it was solid. Raita was delicious too, again seasoning was on point and it was refreshing. Biryani is supposedly what KC is known for along with the kebabs and nihari. We had the chicken biryani and it was delicious, big chunks of chicken and tasted great. The fried fish was delicious too, crispy, seasoned well and nice texture. Good naan as well. Unfortunately I was not able to try the nihari but I know I'll be back here soon, there is no question. On average the portions are fair and run you approximately $5 each, just unbelievable. I asked for hot/pepper sauce but they did not have any. The food is spicy but I always need that extra jolt, so maybe I'll roll with my own homemade batch next time. read more

My work had a potluck. We ordered a large tray of Biryani Chicken and it was suppose to feed 10-12 adults. Lol it fed 18 adults. Really delicious and they didn't cheap out on the size, quantity and quality of chicken. Huge pieces of dark meat. I gave it 4 stars because we ordered another tray of tandoori chicken and it was really delicious.... however my Indian and Pakistani co-workers informed me that the chicken was not tandoori. It was delicious but would have been nice to get that part of my order correct. They open at 11am. I called in my order and had my order ready at 11:30hrs. That's fast. I've had their butter chicken too. My coworkers and I didn't think it looked or tasted like it was butter chicken. Tasted delicious though. Whatever we've ordered has been delicious. A safe bet is their Biryani chicken. Anything else I'm sure it'll be delicious just not sure if it'll be the item you have in mind read more

Just had a nice Biryani fix. What a consistent place. Even after 4 years I still get the same happy feeling as the first time when I had my Biryani. I am glad that I work so close to this place.

Warning !!!!! Please do not place any catering order on this restaurant ever . We ordered the package for 20 persons and here's what we got, the biryani started stinking when we opened the tray lid, the pitas bread was filled with fungus, in the name of rita they just gave water 90% mixed in green color and salad was just lettuce chopped. Also quantity was not even enough for 10 persons, even if anyone would have eaten anything. From our party no one ate even 10% of the food because it was so bad . This is worst and most dangerous food I have ever paid for. read more

My go to place for Pakistani/Indian food as it is always consistently good and service is good.

Having crazy cravings for Pakistani food I go to my source for food info - Yelp. Based on the reviews I had to check this place out. I could help but notice how reasonable the pricing was here. Bonus point for that. Super crazed by hunger, Our order was as follows: Channa Masala, Butter Chicken, Vegetable Biryani, Mixed Vegetables, Fried Fish, Beef Kabob and 4 Naan (garlic and plain). The Channa Masala. I could not bring myself to even try this dish due to insane amount of Ghee that was soaked throughout. My friend dug into it and said that it was poorly done and extremely oily. The Butter Chicken. I have eaten many a Pakistani BC in my life and can honestly say that this was not BC. It was something else. Maybe an order mix up? It tasted like sweet sour cream with chicken bits. A big H-No to this dish. The Veg Biryani. Now here was a great tasting rice dish. I wish I was eating it now. Lol. Melt in your mouth Cauliflower with basmati rice flavoured so perfectly. A must! The Mixed Veg. To sum it up with as few words as possible - Aight! The Fried Fish. Yummy deep fried goodness. A must try. The Beef Kabob. They were just alright in my opinion. The Naans. The garlic and plain were both good. The service was friendly and the price was on point. Plenty of parking too. Note that this branch of the Karachi K is takeout only. When ordering via telephone make sure to confirm that it is the Dixie location. Peace out Yelpers! read more

I was skeptical since it was my first time and the large man behind the counter seemed to SEVERELY lack ethics of customer service. He had some phone conversation going on and just didn't seem to care that customers had walked in and wanted service. Thankfully he went into the kitchen and a lady came out, who was nicer. We ordered Biryani, Seekh Kabab and Bihari Kabab. All three were superb. I love Silver Spoon biryani, but am tempted to replace them now. Fifteen thumbs down for the fat, unethical guy and 50 thumbs up for food! read more

Wow. Awful. Ordered butter chicken, container had 7 small little chunks of chicken. Pathetic. Ordered 3 chicken kebab wraps which had only a small strip of ground chicken in them. Wraps came with 6-7 pieces of fries that were soggy and almost under cooked. Fried fish pieces I swear were made from some awful fish like carp or something. How could I tell? The texture and appearance of the fish...I'm a fisherman and know what carp looks like when cooked (not that I eat/ate it). Only thing that was halfway decent was the rice with chicken and the curry goat which had slightly more pieces of meat than the butter chicken. I had high hopes because this place is close to home but our experience was awful and I'm not willing to take another chance on it! read more
