"Lahore Karahi is an always lively, never disappointing Pakistani spot, which has been open since 1995. You can depend on it for excellent creamy chicken tikka masala karahi, being a place to bring friends when one of them has a new-found obsession with samosa chaat, and for family meals where plates of steaming biryani are passed around and garlic naans are fought over. As for what’s good on the lengthy menu of Pakistani and North Indian classics, the clue is in the name of the restaurant. The karahi dishes, from the rich and spicy king prawn karahi to the zingy paneer number, are excellent." - rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley, daisy meager, sinead cranna
