We split one appetizer, one half portion of rice, and one entree, and it was enough for five meals; imagine! The absolute generosity of these portions is something that I wish would be replicated across downtown Toronto. Our order: Appetizer - Paratha roll bites with paneer; it doesn't say it on the menu, but this comes with a huge portion of fries, too! This could be an entree all on its own. Entree - Potohari chicken half - this was so creamy and mild; a good choice for those of you who don't like spicy food. A fantastic dish. Rice - Gosh, even their rice was a huge portion and super delicious. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant! read more

Fantastic Pakistani restaurant in my hood! I went for an InterNations meetup which was a fun event, and everyone was super happy with their food. Filling and delicious just like home cooking if you are from Pakistan. In fact one friend from there called it the best in Toronto. I was also impressed by a manager coming up and offering me the kebab with the fried tomato as a comped dish that he thought I should try. Nice touch and things like that go a long way. Gorgeous artwork inside makes it worth walking around to soak it all in. If you even barely like this kind of food, you owe it to yourself to try this place out. A real gem in west Queen west. read more

I was recently in the area and was looking for a place for late lunch when I stumbled on Karahi Boys. Decided to give it a try, and I'm glad I did! The vibe was relaxed with some nice mellow music playing in the background, and the service was great. The food was delicious and very fulfilling. The restaurant has a family friendly vibe, so I did stand out a bit as the only solo diner in the whole restaurant haha, but that didn't take away from the experience. Overall, a great place for a tasty meal - Would recommend. read more

Great experience! Friendly and attentive service despite being totally full. Food was delicious, full of flavor and we had items that could accommodate all levels of spice tolerance. We had goat karahi, fish, bbq and of course the family naan and tried some of the other specialty naan, plus wraps for the kids that didn't want spicy heat. and If you have enough people to try and share several dishes it is an added plus to experience the variety offered. Ambience was festive, clean, and comfortable. Special shout out to all our servers, names in photo read more

Karahi Boys - Our servers, 5 star service - Pakistani Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Came for a late dinner, got a Karahi and bbq with their famous naan. It was very busy when we arrived late, bonus points they are open late. The kabob was delicious, the Karahi of our choice was possibly not the best option. I wish I had known it was going to be that spicy. It was incredibly spicy that I had to ask for additional yogurt. Wish we knew or it was stated on the menu spice level. Unfortunately, tried so hard to enjoy until we couldn't handle the spice, we hardly ate it. The naan was fresh, the food was alright. read more

Having been to Pakistan, I can honestly say that the food here is even better than in Karachi. The naan is so beautiful. The butter chicken karahi was the best I've ever had. The Karahi Boys karahi and Lahori fish were also spectacular. The food came out reasonably fast and the servers were attentive. This is such an amazing restaurant in Mississauga! read more

Karahi Boys delivers an exceptional dining experience that effortlessly blends mouthwatering cuisine, warm hospitality, and a vibrant atmosphere. From the moment I walked in, the inviting ambience set the tone--modern yet cozy, with an energetic buzz that made the space feel alive without being overwhelming. The service was outstanding--attentive, courteous, and genuinely eager to make sure every detail was perfect. The staff guided us through the menu with confidence and made excellent recommendations, which elevated the entire experience. As for the food--absolutely phenomenal. the KBoys Chicken Karahi along with the Family Naan, and both were nothing short of spectacular. The karahi was bursting with authentic flavor--perfectly spiced, rich, and aromatic--while the naan was soft, pillowy, and the ideal complement to the dish. The portions were generous, making it perfect for sharing. Every bite felt like a celebration of authentic taste, carefully prepared and thoughtfully balanced. It's rare to find a place that captures both tradition and creativity so seamlessly. Karahi Boys is more than just a restaurant--it's a place where great food, exceptional service, and a lively ambience come together to create a truly memorable experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to indulge in genuine hospitality and unforgettable flavors. read more

Love the food as always with large portion sizes and delicious curries. Their signature naan is a must as it's presented very nicely on a vertical rack. The only downsides side is the wait time for the dishes as it takes them a while to cook. Highly recommend it if you're into pakistani dishes :) read more

Kboyz chicken karahi and butter chicken were both a HIT!!! I love that the butter chicken was not too sweet or tomato heavy. The spices were amazing and everything was incredibly flavourful.

Staff is very helpful with ordering. We had some great food. The naam is fresh and wonderful. Don't forget dessert. Just great.

I was here on friend's recommendation and was surprised by overall good experience. The portion sizes are small and we had to order more food than anticipated. The family naan is really nice. I will definitely try this again! read more

I'll be honest, I was kind of disappointed with the quality of the food, especially from a price perspective. For the high price, I was expecting more. The quality of the keema and chicken korma wasn't as nice as I was hoping for. The garlic naan and fish appetizer were, however, very nice. Interior, it was a nice location. Service was also efficient, though it was quite slow as well. read more

Went here on a friend's recommendation and I was pleasantly surprised and a bit disappointed! Prepare for lengthy analysis! We ordered the: Potohari Chicken Karahi ,Charsi Goat Karahi, Garlic Naan, Family Naan, Garden Salad and a chicken Biryani. The chicken karahi was pleasantly surprising because the recipe is similar to what my mom makes and it was especially decadent! I didn't expect it to be so good! We ordered the garlic naans and the family naan but I only really had the garlic naan which was amazing and I was full from it. Also had the chicken biryani but they didn't use basmati rice but seemingly jasmine rice which made it a lot drier than it should be. The goat was where I was displeased. The curry was underwhelming and the meat cut was also done cheaply. Lots of the pieces had fat and low amounts of meat. There was also no bone marrows which was shocking to me since I expected it, maybe I shouldn't have? Not sure. But yeah I definitely recommend the potohari chicken Karahi. I tried a bit of a friend's mocktail as well and it tasted good too! read more

Came here on a Saturday evening and it was quite busy! Because of that the service was quite slow, but once we got our food things took a turn for the better. We got the Half Kboys Karahi with a Family Naan, which was absolutely amazing! The dish was so flavourful and the half serving was enough for two people (and then some). read more

For our trip we want to try things we can get at home. My husband found this place online. Several 1 star reviews were about service and I suppose they are just used to American type where everything is so fast (yes I realize this is in Canada). We were greeted and seated immediately. Yes it took a while for our server to come over and a while for our drinks but I have waited significantly longer times at places with horrible food. The server was delightful and helpful, explaining what a spice whimp like myself should try. This place has amazing food. I don't care how long the server takes, it was worth the wait. We had chicken karahi in a cream sauce, beef karahi and butter naan. Husband also had a berry mocktail colada. Everything was amazing!! The beef was too spicy for me but my husband said the flavor was great. The chicken was one of the best things I have eaten in years. The naan was soft a fluffy. We plan on eating here again before we go home. read more

KARAHI BOYS Pakistani dish, freshly roasted sacs of almost a meter in length, served with stewed chicken and lamb, one bite into the soul, so satisfying! CHICKEN KARAHI and GOAT KARAHI are two signature dishes with similar flavors, but the lamb is more tender and rotten, very tasty. Family naan is the big naan in picture 1, it's so flavorful, it's a carb bomb, it's great with karahee! GARLIC NAAN is in picture 5, also very good, garlic naan, those who like garlic will love it! Drinks MANGO LASSI Figure 6 is his signature, MANGO SHAKE Figure 7 is also good, these two are good to drink, you can try! The grilled meat is average, not as good as Chinese kebabs. Others are good, the portion is very large, suitable for going with friends! read more

OMG, felt like I was in Pakistan eating here. The staff is great and very accommodating. Came here on a weekend night without reservations and they quickly made room for us as a table was getting ready to leave. The KB karahi was perfect, also got the daal and palak and some kabobs with garlic naan. Honestly everything was 5/5 and would definitely come back here anytime. The food came out pretty quick and was a good amount of food for 5 people with some left overs. read more

As a foodie and Google Local Guide, I recently visited Karahi Boys Halal Restaurant in Toronto for the first time, making the 22-minute walk from our hotel for a lunch experience. We ordered a delightful spread: goat karahi, puri, naan, chickpeas masala, halwa, and chai. The food was excellent, with the goat karahi standing out for its rich, flavorful taste. The puri and naan were fresh and delicious, and the chickpeas masala was tasty, albeit a bit salty for my preference. The chai and halwa were also very enjoyable. The service was friendly and efficient, enhancing our dining experience. Restaurant is clean. I look forward to returning to try other dishes, especially the famous family Naan! read more

Loved the food, loved the ambiance. Our wait staff let us choose where we wanted to be seated which was very nice. The restaurant is very big - so perfect for social distancing in our current pandemic times. The food is delicately spiced and brought out really hot. We had the k-boy chicken karahi and ashik sheekh Laban. Their naans are very soft and delicious. There was not one item that we did not like. People kept coming even on a rainy day which is a good sign and they did have lots of orders lined up to go out as well. With food so good, they will be busy. read more

Authentic Pakistani food, great people, and of course, every dish was so delicious! The presentation (especially the super naan) made our experience memorable. Gawal mandi chana daal was my favorite which was unexpected because we went there for the goat karahi. Chapli kabab was delightful with chutney and naan, but it was a bit dry and salty. In other words, everything is really well-seasoned. After a filling meal, I still ordered halwa for dessert which was warm and moderately sweet. Even though we stayed until their closing time and were one of the last ones to leave, the employees were gracious and made us feel comfortable until we left. read more

Saw good reviews so decided to check it out. The place was BUSY. Waited over 30min to place an order, the server apparently forgot about us. Was a long time before we got food. Got the paratha chicken rolls and butter chicken with butter naan. The roll was good and lots of crispy fries came with it. The butter chicken was ok, but the naan was the star. I would legit just come back for it. The prices are kinda expensive. The server was nice and place was packed. Would come back read more

Karahi Boys - Pakistani Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Server dropped a kulfi milkshake all over me and no manager came to speak to me until I requested one to which they offered a "discount on my meal". Originally I remained calm because I didn't want to create a scene. But when I was moved and sitting in my now stained white pants, canvas shoes and hoodie... I realized that no one was coming to talk to me. Only after I asked for someone to come speak to me, someone finally did. They informed me that this "happens all the time" and they can only offer me a discount as per the owners discretion. I asked to speak to the owner who declined my request. I supported this place when it first opened and went out of my way to support a local Pakistani business owner several times a month during covid. They're now busy and have gotten cocky and arrogant. Extremely disheartening. read more

They seem pretty new! Tried a sampling of their main chicken karahi as well as a few different appetizers, and we had to try the naan hanging vertically from a stand (advice though, take it off once you've eaten most of it - it falls off!). I found everything accessible in terms of flavour and all the meat was properly tender and juicy! In terms of price, I'd say it's closer to "gather your friends, make a reservation in advance" rather than "pop in on a whim". read more

The last time my family was in Toronto, Canada, we ate at Lahore Tikka House, about 30 years ago. This year, we decided to go to RIS 2022 and thought we would use the opportunity to go back to an old favorite, which we did on the 2nd day of the conference and it was super delicious! However, it came on good recommendation that Karahiboys has now taken the top spot when it comes to Lahore-style food in Toronto, so on the 3rd night of the conference, Christmas Day and our last night in Toronto , we skipped out a little early so we could explore Karahiboys before they closed for the night. Only about 10 min from the conference center, we found the restaurant pretty easily. I was immediately struck by the modern yet authentic Pakistani vibe this place gives off. The place was packed and the staff was super busy yet still very friendly and attentive. The owner, Zohaib, strongly recommended we order before we get seated so the wait wouldn't be as long. Good advice, sir! With his recommendations and our own interests, we ordered! Chapli kabab, boneless chicken karahi, chicken seekh kabob, tandoori wings, along with till wala naan (sesame) and garlic butter naan and he said the chicken briyani is just too good lol! So we couldn't say no and ordered that, too. After about 10 minutes of waiting we were seated and served water from these interesting sealed jugs. A new transplant from Lahore, Aqsa was our waitress and was very attentive, constantly checking if we needed anything else even before our food arrived. She made the experience very positive! We took the opportunity of her check on us to order some desserts to go, khoya keer and gajar ka halwa. My son ordered fries which came out first while he stepped away to the washroom. They were so good, we almost devour them before he came back lol! Next the tandoori wings came out. They were very nice, juicy with a subtle kick; the green chutney was a perfect savory pairing with them. Then the gorgeous till naan and garlic naan and the boneless kharahi chicken arrived. We all got a taste of the chicken and we're wowed by the depth of the flavor. We sampled the two naans with the boneless chicken and I felt that they're both foods from heaven. I regret not ordering the family naan, which is served on a peculiar hanger. Yes, it hangs down off of a hook-like device which I've never seen before. The chicken seekh kabob also has a very authentic and deeply flavored savory taste that was perfect. I originally wanted the beef behari Boti, but Mr. Zohaib convinced me the chapli kabab is preferred by the customers over the behari, so I agreed to try it and had no regrets! It was very tasty with perfect balance of spices with a professional crispy perfectly grilled outer layer that satisfied my craving for a Pakistani BBQ beef dish. I'm still curious about the Bihari though so... In'sha'Allah next time! The chicken biryani was nothing less than that perfect biryani you hope you'll get when you crave briyani. Especially with a little bit of raita gently stirred in, the briyani was perfect. We also indulged in the Mango Mojito - I had a sip since my wife ordered it but I could have drank the whole thing. It was so good! I ordered the kulfi shake and man did I feel like the luckiest person lol! Not only because it was super good, but due to some fluke, I got two for the price of one lol! It was better than I hoped for and everything was delicious! I'm writing this because not only was the food amazing and the staff super awesome, we had a little incident that really made us so appreciative of the whole Karahiboys franchise. My wife accidentally left her purse behind and it contained her and our children's passports, not to mention credit cards and cash! We got back to our hotel in Milton just before midnight and realized we she left it! We tried calling the restaurant but the phone line was not working, so we started to worry. We tried calling a couple of the other locations to see if they had Zohaib's cell phone number or some way to reach them. Lucky for us, one of the other sympathetic staff members understood our problem and said she would make some calls and get back to us ASAP. A few minutes later a very nice gentleman called from the Toronto restaurant and said he found my wife's purse. I told him it would be at least 30 minutes before I could get back there and he said no problem! I got back around 1:00 AM the young man was waiting outside in the freezing cold by the door and let me in and handed me her purse! I foolishly forgot to ask for his name, but I pray that Allah almighty bless him and everyone that helped us get my wife's purse back safe and sound! With that, I'll say it was a fantastic experience, great food, great service, definitely an A+ 5-star 2-thumbs up experience. read more

Folks this is one of those cases where I think one should try out a spot on their own as opposed to trusting someone's else opinion of food. I tend to follow the opinion of the folks whose palate is close to moi. This case I had reviews that were all over the place from the folks who had tried their offshoots. I am talking rave to don't even think about it. My first attempt to try them in a suburb location was futile as the wait time was horrendous despite an off peak dinning time (remember those days when one could dine in and popular spots had a wait :) so ended up not waiting. They opened up a location on the east end but somehow the plans to visit them never materialized for one reason or the other. Then I noticed that they opened up a location downtown and also showed up on the delivery app so I had no excuse. However friends who don't have a similar taste to moi but are from the region gave a big thumbs down to their namesake dish. I decided to take the plunge despite the poor review. Good thing I did I ordered the Karahi Boys namesake karahi as wanted to get a benchmark before trying out the regional variations. This is pretty authentic albeit a refined take on this dish (read it has a good spice level sans the grease that leads to heartburn etc.) so not greasy and not painfully spicy. Something one would get a mid level restaurant in the region and not a roadside spot. I was splitting the order with friends and though I didn't try the malai boti and garlic naan got good feedback. I will try them again for sure as it saves me a trip the suburbs plus I think its hard to get a decent version of this dish in GTA. read more
