    Got some food here and everything was amazing and very affordable. The lamb chops were probably my favorite. The rice was flavorful and the white sauce was nice. Overall, everything was good.

    Beef Bihari Kebab
    Fiza K.

    Spacious with a nice ambiance and quick service. Parking is difficult since it's queens, but not impossible. We got the beef bihari kebab for an appetizer, achari chicken karahi with butter naan for the entree, and mango lassi for a drink. The sizzling beef Bihari kebab was so tender and had just the right amount of spice. The onions mixed in added a nice char and complimented the beef well. The mango lassi was a bit underwhelming. The achari chicken had a nice tang of tomato with medium spice. Overall I would rate the meal a solid 3.5 on a scale of 5 with prices that did not hurt the pocket.

    Garlic + Plain Naan, Goat Karahi & Chicken Karahi
    Najwa G.

    Shirazi Karahi is absolutely fantastic and a must visit for amazing Pakistani food. At Shirazi Karahi, you must have their karahi of course. Both the chicken and the goat were fantastic but the goat stood out more for me. The naan was also wonderful and it was so fluffy and tasty. I also had their fresh lime soda which was good and not super sweet. Lastly, the meal needs to end with some dessert so we ordered some falooda. It was the best way to end the meal. Do note that it does get busy on Fridays/the weekends. I will definitely be back.

    Loved the huge comp salad with the three dressings.

    After 3 weeks in LA and Phoenix, I got back to NY and was braving the westbound pm rush hour traffic on the Long Island Expressway. Did not have to be at work till 8 pm and noticed these two identically named restaurants on my left - on the south side that is. One was Shirazi right next to Oasis Bagels and the other Shirazi Karahi( Karahi as in Wok or Balti in the UK). I got off the exit for Utopia Parkway, popped a U-ie and found parking right in the front of the restaurant around 5 pm. Things were starting good, felt it! Well they got better and better. I got a lovely welcome from Mia and Shahid, the two awesome managers who seated me as I couldn't stop smiling and loving the aroma and the sizzling sound of the beautiful platters that were being served to the family next to me. Couldn't stop staring and politely asked what their great entrees were. They had a beautiful assortment of wings, chicken nuggets, mixed chicken grill and this lovely and yummy tandoori white fish dish. I opted for the salmon fish tikka. Shahid my fantastic host/server/cashier/ manager brought me out this big complimentary salad ( photo) with three dressings( one was a mint sauce, another a white sauce and then a hot one). Terrific trifecta! Loved it! Then the piece de resistance- the sizzling and absolutely delicious and aromatic salmon platter( please see the video) was served with a massive serving of their lovely seasoned brown rice. The fish was so good, it was seasoned perfectly and grilled just right, hot & melt in the mouth goodness. Did not need any sauces with it. I could not finish the rice and took more than half to Manhattan. 3 different wait staff checked up on me. The restaurant filled up by 5:40 pm and I felt the really good energy and the buzz as families and dates were enjoying the lamb chops, chicken skewers, gyro plates, massive salads and the hot samosa apps. The hot tea was hot and delicious. I did not have room for dessert from their very good looking display at the welcome counter. Shirazi Karahi House about 5 doors east of Oasis Bagels was my Oasis on this busy afternoon. Loved it. Open 7 days from 12-10. Parking can be a hassle but then the big reward is the lovely and quality food served with so much love and kindness.

    Nasty dust buildup in lights right above your table

    Came here one raining night. Parking is street so it's tough to find but patience is a virtue. Once inside the wait can be awhile to get a table luckily for us it was only 15 mins. The staff was present not friendly nor mean. Just there. A lot food was ordered from apps, family kebabs platter,whole fish, naan, curry dish. When asked we were recommended this amount of food for our group of 4. Way too much food. The food was good. Everyone had their own opinion on the food. Some like it, some needed more spice/salt. But the overall agreement was it was good Now the bad part. We had dust particles floating down from the dirty fans and fixture. No one needs this kind of addition to their food. Please get one of the cleaning people to wipe down these fixture. The pictures don't lie. Overall good food but don't sit under the nasty fan or light fixture til it's clean. Cause when the wind blows. You will be getting the wrong kind of pepper on your food and drink. Only 3 stars until they clean the restaurant, if this is neglected in plain sight. Can only imagine the dirtiness in the back.

    Well this one is a hidden gem. Hands down the best Pakistani Indian food in the town. Flavors are on point. Riaz their chef is extremely talented and welcoming. Even their staff is so pleasing. We had Mariam and she went above and beyond to serve us. What we appreciate the most is the way they made us feel so valued. Definitely coming back.

    Lamb chop not fully cooked!! but soaked in batter no taste. Definitely not worth it.! I would go with the chicken masala or something else.

My waiter, Khalil, is a fine gentleman and very personable. He would be welcome at my table anytime. Now for the food: We had the appetizer combo, which consisted of a spinach dish, hummus and pitas, and samosas. Best hummus I've ever had. Spinach was spicy and delicious. Samosa was excellent. For the main course we ordered a kebab platter for 4 people. Three kabobs of your choice, served with white or green (dill) rice. The kabobs here are the best I've ever had (I've been here many times, but this is my first review). This is one of my favorite restaurants in the five boroughs. Check it out. You won't be disappointed.

    I placed a pickup order through Uber for the four-person family combo. When I arrived, I had to…read morewait about 10 minutes at the counter before anyone came to assist me. After receiving the order, I asked why the green sauce--commonly included as a side with this type of meal--was missing. The employee at the counter told me they had run out. However, I noticed that there was a bottle of the same green sauce on every table in the restaurant, which made the explanation confusing and frustrating. Another concern was that the restaurant refused to accept credit or debit card payments. In 2026, declining standard electronic payment methods creates unnecessary inconvenience for customers. Unfortunately, the food quality also did not meet expectations. The lamb chops were very small and appeared dry and overcooked. Overall, the portion sizes and quality did not justify the price. Based on this experience, I would recommend that customers consider other nearby options. In my experience, Shirazi Kebab offers larger portions in their family meals and the food quality has been noticeably better.

    Very disappointed with the service we received for our dinner reservation of 20 last night…read more We called two days in advance to make the reservation and placed our food order three hours ahead of time. We clearly communicated the time we wanted the food served, yet it was obvious that cooking did not begin until we arrived. As a result, the food came out almost an hour late. This was especially frustrating since our group included many hungry kids and people who had just come from work. Delays can happen, but the lack of clear communication was unacceptable. Neither the manager nor the bouncer out front gave us any accurate updates. If there were concerns, we would have gladly paid a deposit in advance to ensure timely service. An 18% gratuity ($90) was automatically added, which left us wondering what service it was for. No salad or bread was offered while we waited, nor did they come out with the food. They gave fries once I got up for a second time to ask for an update with a crying baby. Not once did a server check in to ask if we needed anything. The only interaction we had was when a drinks cart came by after the food was finally here, and even then, the attitude was unpleasant. It also raises questions about whether the gratuity actually goes to the servers or elsewhere. If there was actual service, 18% or even more is nothing and I would be happy to pay it. Toward the end of the night, we felt rushed out. While our bags were still on the tables, staff began cleaning around us, moving chairs, and clearly showing annoyance. Had our food arrived on time, we would not have been there near closing. To be fair, the food quality itself was very good, and the kitchen staff did a great job. However, portions were noticeably smaller than before. The $150 platter was not worth the size we received. Overall, very disappointed with Shirazi, particularly the management and our experience with Edwin.
