If you come to Karachi and don’t try the authentic barbecue and grill, it won’t be fair. I must say one of the best places for their authentic Bihari. Sorry the pictures were taken after we had started the food.

Asalamaliykum I had a very bad experience with the food, and honestly, this is the truth. …

The Nauratan kabab was just gravy with few chicken pieces. Unnecessarily spicy that left bad taste. Malai boti was half cooked, not fit for human consumption. We had to cook it to eat. Both dishes were examples of bad cooking. Parathas were ok.

We had chicken seekh kabab roll and the taste was excellence. Third floor is going into the renovation process I hope after this process it will be a very good atmosphere to sit down and I will with family.
