Karachi Broast & Grill Marietta

After walking in and just grabbing a seat because we weren't shown where to sit. We waited a minute or two before realizing that no one's coming to us. And then proceeded to get the menu from the host who was standing behind the counter. After placing our order we got our initial appetizers but were not given any plates or anything. I got up myself and got it from the back table. When we got our food, the presentation was really good and I was excited to try it. But after tasting it, I realized it was a letdown. From the recent reviews I realize that a lot of people are saying that the quality has gone down compared to before. I wish these guys the best and hopefully they can make it better experience for future customers

For a year, my wife and I have been on the hunt for a great Indo-Pakistani restaurant since moving to Georgia. We'd been consistently disappointed, despite checking good Google reviews, until we finally visited this place for lunch on a Saturday about a month ago. We ordered their Nihari (tender beef shank in a spicy curry sauce), Nan bread, and Jeera rice, and the food was incredible—easily the best we've had so far. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing. We were, however, surprised to see bacon burger on the menu, which is unusual for a restaurant serving halal meat. The service was decent, if not stellar, likely because the waitress was working alone and juggling both tables and takeout calls. We will definitely be back whenever we're craving a meat curry and Nan. The dining experience is enhanced by a robot that delivers meals directly to your table.

The food was really good. I ordered and loved The Spicy Thai burger and the staff were really friendly.

This is an awesome spot that has tasteful halal food that hits the spot. The staff is super friendly and makes you feel welcome right away. Clean and great for a quick bite or a casual meal with friends and family. 5 star experience every time.

I have been eating at this location for last 5 years and the best part is their consistent good tasting food. It’s always taste great and fresh because it’s made to order. My wife favorite is Thai burger, it has a little kick to it but it’s delicious.My daughter love their biryani and chicken 65 and I personally love their chicken Broast and pita pocket. Order anything from their menu you won’t be disappointed. They even have a party hall and I did my daughter birthday twice that’s how much we live their food and service.

Love this place. The food is cooked to order. I always order the chicken 65, chicken biryani and the Thai burger. The Thai burger was missing the sauce? Not sure what happened there. But the food was still good.

This is disappointing. I’ve been coming here for years and it has only gone downhill. I don’t normally leave negative reviews but I have to this time. There was only one person taking orders and serving. She seemed overworked and on edge. We ordered two zinger burgers and a spicy Thai burger which is all usually good. The onion rings I got were BURNED. I don’t know how they even thought to serve us this… took a bite and nearly broke a tooth. For all of our burgers the top bun was dry and the bottom buns were cold. The fries had no seasoning. There was no utensils or napkins. When we asked for napkins she told us they don’t have any. How does a restaurant run with no napkins…? This place used to be one of the best spots and it’s got rock bottom. My review is not singled out most people from word of mouth told me they had similar experiences but I still gave it a shot. While I was here I also overheard a customer complaining abt something and the employee was rude and dismissive. Unfortunately I will not be returning. Hope management sees this and does something. Otherwise I doubt this restaurant will run off anything other than Uber eats orders from people who don’t even know what this food is. EDIT* 08/30 Updated from 1 star to 3 came back to give it a try with a large group and everyone’s food was good. Alfredo pasta was good as usual. Onion rings were NOT burned terribly like last time. Biryani was really good!

It was our first visit to Karachi Boast. We ordered their famous Zinger burger, chicken paratha rolls and tender with fries. Honestly, chicken paratha roll was the moat tasteful that we had ordered it twice. Love the ambiance of the resturant, customer service is nice.

I can't believe Tandoor Restaurant has gone out of business! WOW! I was in the mood for something spicy and bit Mediterranean - I'd been eye-balling these guys for a while so I decide to give them a try. Interior / Exterior From the outside - this place is easy to miss. They are are in a very old strip mall with what feels like hundreds of other businesses. They're in the corner and the door had blackout tint on it, so for a split second, I thought they'd moved or gone out of business. They're crammed between a beauty supply and a Brazilian butcher shop so you'd think it's tiny. You'd be wrong. It's HUGE in there. The space is bright and massive. Customer service The cashier was kind, if subdued. Service was extremely slow. She told me the food would be ready in 25 minutes. It took 42 minutes. Everything was cooked fresh to order. I was the only customer there, although one person arrived for a grubhub pickup while I waited. We both left at the same time. Food What we wanted - 1) Mixed Karachi Grilled Kabab Platter (1 beef, 1 tandoori chicken, 1 mediterranean chicken, pita wedges, sliced cucumber, onion) 2) Tandoori Chicken Roll (2 rolls - chicken, onions, spicy yogurt, w/fries) 3) Zinger Burger (Broast chicken tenders, slaw, spicy ketchup w/ fries) 4) Chicken Tender Platter (4 broast chicken tenders w/fries) 5) Philly Cheese (Steak & mozz cheese, mayo, shrooms, green peppers, onions w/fries) 6) Spicy Thai Burger w/ fries What we got - 1) Mixed Karachi Grilled Kabab Platter 2) Tandoori Chicken Roll with 'salad' instead of fries 3) Zinger burger with no fries and dollar discount - which she forgot to discount We did not get 4), 5), or 6) because no one wanted battered french fries, onion rings, rice, mashed potatoes, pita or coleslaw as their sides for the sandwiches or tenders. They no longer have plain french fries or crinkle cut fries. And the only cheese options for the burgers are American cheese. Price / Value Food was tasty - but felt lake the kebab platter was a bit overpriced. There were no tomatoes on 'salad' - nor were the veggies fermented or anything. So 3 kebabs, with a few wedges of store-bought pita (not buttered) and a foil packet of white onion and cucumber seems a bit pricey. If it was homemade naan and if they put the kebabs on a bed of rice I think it might seem like a better value. The other combos seemed priced about right though the Zinger burger did not have 3 huge tenders like the website photo - instead it was 2 smallish tenders and the tandoori chicken rolls were very small. It was enough for a 12 year old child but I don't think this would be enough food for an adult unless they give a massive amount of fries (unsure - since we subbed salad - portion was small). Other There is a communal area for you to get your utensils and napkins. Everything is loose / in canisters. There is also an uncovered water pitcher that you actually have to reach over to get to various things. So if you're a germaphobe - you are NOT going to be happy about that little set-up. Overall Overall - not sure that I'd go back. I enjoyed the food I sampled. And my kebabs were pretty good. Beef was a little tough. Tandoori was the best of the 3. I had a bite of the Zinger burger and it was tasty though if I ordered it I would probably ask for mayo instead of ketchup or no condiment at all. And I tried a bite of the tandoori roll and it was flavorful as well but very messy. Lol. What would probably keep us from a return visit is the fact that the side options just aren't there for us.

Terrible service and hygiene The place smells like a used socks and service is so terrible. The guy on the counter has absolutely no interest in doing business. He sits far away from the desk with both legs on the chair ! Almost all requests are met with a no. God forbid if you want to use the restroom. The horror and disgust will kill the remaining appetite. Who in 2023 has sink made of rough concrete so that it acts as barrier to phlegm, mucous and other bodily remains ????

Ordered their goat biriyani and it had 2 pieces of meat the rest was bones.....very disappointed

Food is delicious. Service is excellent. Ambiance is good. Recommend Chicken 65, Biryani and kobab rolls and kulfi.

This place is just weird. The setting is a bit bizarre. A better set up for a night club than a restaurant. The service was rude and the food was ok. Nope. Never going back.

The food and the service is very bad, never going back. Moreover he charged gratuity for self order.

We have been coming here for years. The food is excellent. My favorite is the Karhi chicken with the naan. The tandoori chicken rolls are also so yummy! My kiddos love the sliders and as a bonus they have kids eat free Mondays and Tuesdays. I highly recommend trying if you're feeling like branching out from your typical American style food. For us it's become a go to!

This is my 3rd time ordering. First 2 times was in April 2022. Broaster chicken was yummy. And mango lassis was a good size ? 16oz). Today I ordered the same thing. Mango lassi has now shrunk to a toddler size!! WTF? In April ( before ownership change) it was in a much bigger cup ( at least 16 oz). With the many fried chicken restaurants around here, the main reason I decided to place my order is is for the mango lassis! What a huge disappointment that it's now a toddler size ! Hate it when restaurants uses this kind of deception to cut cost. Granted food costs went up, why not keep customer expectation & loyalty and just raise the price if you have to. Not shrink the portion! The broaster chicken had no flavor. In fact kinda smelled "old". Outer flavoring of the chicken was good , not too spicy, not too greasy. Todays disappointing experience means it's my last time. Wong be back.

Their food is always really good I do love their tandoori chicken rolls and I had their coleslaw for the first time which was also really good, but I do have to say idk if it was just cause they were busy with delivery orders or what but I literally called in my order and got there 15min later and still had to wait an additional 30mins while other orders were going out. Normally I wouldn't be annoyed but I was at work and called in my order so I could just run and pick it up, but still had to wait a total of 35mins for a roll and coleslaw I didn't leave there until 9pm

The food is bomb!! Was freshly made and so good. Well worth the drive here. The only thing was the service was pretty slow otherwise it's amazing food!

Open during covid. Has indoor seating a lot of space so you can spread out. Got the Thai burger was so good! Would recommend! Not expensive compared to other places. Would come back Fries crispy and good!!

It is so good here every single time I go If you're looking for a review to confirm if you wanna go here or not, I'm here for you. Get the tandoori chicken Alfredo. You'll definitely be back here after that.

I have loved Karachi restaurant! I know post Covid things have changed but, the price increase is shocking. We Won't be there as often as we use to.

Chicken Biryani is pathetic... self service and they charged 18% gratuity. Ambience is okay

Don't like the food, ordered Chicken Biryani and Chicken Karachi both are bad, also the service is very bad.

Chicken bryaini was the best I eat at least 3x a month. Only been inside once but does look big space for private time.

Service is quick. Facility is clean. My food is always hot and delicious. Priced great for the portion size. I usually get the Chicken Biryani.

Very good service they are providing. I have been eating here from past one year. I really love this food and their management. Highly recommended this place for family parties and for scrumptious food. ​

We ordered chicken karahi and chicken broast. Both taste okay. I think Chicken karahi wasn't fresh but I could be wrong.

I've been wanting to try chicken broast a long time: it's fried chicken cooked in a pressure cooker, where the pressure cooks the chicken more rapidly and ensures less moisture loss. Between the chicken broast and the other items on Karachi's menu, I really wanted to give this place a try. The food was every bit as good as I could have expected. Most impressive was the chicken broast, which was juicier than just about any fried chicken I can recall having--I'm convinced by the broasting technique. I ate my piece too quickly to recall how the chicken was marinated, but the breading itself was well-seasoned with spices. The (Chicken) Zinger Burger was also pretty good, though I would've preferred if it used the same chicken as the broast rather than tenders. The third item we ordered, the Mixed Karachi Grilled Platter was delicious: the tandoori and Mediterranean chicken skewers were particularly standout. The other thing I really want to highlight is the karahi chicken: a Pakistani friend of mine said that this was the dish to order in South Asian restaurants as it's one that has to be prepared to order. Karachi's version was quite good and had plenty of spicy kick to it--easily a 3.5 or 4 on a 5-point scale for non-South Asians--but as the manager informed us, is not quite textbook karahi chicken. Whereas traditional karahi chicken features bone-in chicken with minimal gravy prepared in a wok-like karahi pot, Karachi's version features boneless chicken simmering in plenty of gravy. This variation is an accommodation made for its South Indian patrons, who prefer to eat it not with naan, but on top of biryani. So while it's not textbook karahi chicken, it was still plenty good. Service was excellent; the manager was kind enough to discuss with me the finer points of karahi chicken--the best karahi chicken in Karachi is Shaheen Shinwari, if I remember correctly--and answer my various questions. This Marietta location is very much worth visiting again, as are the other locations as they have different items on the menu.

Dined here once and order via grubhub a few times. Items are hit or miss. Have tried: Tandoori Alfredo House wings Chicken Broast When the tandoori Alfredo is given a heaping serving of sauce and tender chicken it's very good. Sauce and flavor of chicken vary. The Broast is good, quite salty though. The chicken wings I ordered were very greasy. Tasted pretty good and marination was nice. This place is that salty greasy south Asian fast casual restaurant, which there are limited options for in this part of town. Do a great job with delivery services as well.

Very good food! Their beryani is great. I only wish they had lamb beryani too. Chicken pita is great too.

We arrived in the area, on a road trip, and decided upon this place due to it being zabiha/halal and it being in close proximity to our hotel room. The reviews were good so we arrived here. The ambience is good, although as soon as you walk in, it's jarring because it's clearly a bar/dance club space - but that doesn't mean it's a problem, it's just glaringly clear that the space is being grossly underutilized. Although, as a consumer, let's face it, it's not my problem, it's theirs. The interior is super bare, but not ugly or unsightly. Overall, the ambience is average, at best. There are great couches and tables in here, if they added a little pizzazz and ambience to this place, it could be a hopping lounge, with coffee and lighter fare for people to gather and study/have fun at! Next, let's talk about food - so here's what we ordered: - Chicken Karahi: this was delicious, truly well flavored and just the right amount of spice. Great with naan, and a generous portion as well. - Chicken Biryani: this was merely mediocre at best. The chicken was flavorful, but the rice fell flat. - Mediterranean Chicken Kabob: this was SO delicious. INCREDIBLY tender, moist and juicy, with great flavor. The hummus, however, tasted incredibly bland, and underseasoned/undersalted. A little lemon juice and a bit more garlic would have made it perfect! The garlic sauce was good (but more about that). So why is this place getting 3 stars when 2 out of 3 of the food items were great? Because despite the chicken kabobs being good, you cannot charge me $8 for two skewers of meat with one pita and subpar hummus, and then charge me extra for garlic sauce which should come with the entree any way. Also, this menu has NO variation of meat other than chicken and beef. No fish, no turkey, no lamb, no goat - just chicken and beef. Very limited menu, and honestly speaking, merely mediocre. This place has so much potential, though; feels like a waste!

sauce! A pleasant surprise! Came to Atlanta for memorial weekend and tried this place after checking g the rating in Yelp. I am glad I did, it left us to want come again tomorrow. All the food was awesome. We also had leftovers. It has very nice seating areas and bathrooms were clean too for both men and women. You do get plastic wares and disposable plates but that should not deter anyone to come and try this place.

The chicken tenders as well as boti kebab are truly a masterpiece. Everything is wrapped very professionally and service is on point.. prices are very reasonable for the amazing food

I absolutely love this place. Not just because of the authentic food but also because of their service. Faisal is amazing at accommodating special orders. Super pleasant person. During Covid-19, they are extra cautious about no contact pickups. They will come to your car and do contact-less drop off and curbside pick up. Again, highly recommend this Marietta location. I don't typically give 5-stars but this place earns it. Food is reasonably priced. We love the boti kebab Platter.

I had high expectations from this place and expected Karachi style food as per their name. But I found the dishes to be bland. I was hoping for "chat pata" food as I don't get to eat desi food very often. The tandoori pita pocket was bland and the meat was not very moist. It had a chili pepper next to it on the menu so I expected it to be spicy. There was nothing tandoori about this dish. The chicken zinger was the same way... I have had better. It had no special sauce or delicious flavor. Chicken tenders are alright for kids but not savory enough for adults. The only thing I liked?.. Fries were crispy. Not string thin but not thick either. I came here during iftaar time and I recommend you order at least half an hour before like I did. That way your food comes out right at iftaar.

Location and parking : located in a huge plaza beside LA fitness so plenty of parking to be found Food : we ordered grilled chicken tikka salad and chicken karahi. The salad was HUGE, i don't usually take salads home but I definitely could only eat half of it. It was delicious , the chicken was cooked perfectly ( it's actually said to be marinated overnight ). The lettuce , cucumbers and tomatoes make it a filling meal . Husband ordered the Chicken Karahi and it was sooo good ! I almost wished I had gotten it myself . It was rich in gravy , the sauce was flavorful and ofcourse really spicy ( the good kind ) Service: although it is a sit down restaurant , you get your own water and napkins . Even though the place was practically empty we had to wait a while at the register to pay and almsowt 45 mins for our food . Price : price was reasonable at 8-9$ for a big entree . I would probably order take out from this place , their food is delicious though

Went for dinner with group of us 10+ people, and the new owners have cleaned this place up! Local hole in the wall with yummy food. Everything we had was delicious and spiced perfectly. Lots if variety if your are craving ethnic or fusion food!

We have the spicy Thai burger and the infamous broast! All cooked to perfection and came out fresh!!!. First time trying this place and it is definitely delicious.

Amazing food options, everything taste really nice. Looking at the name of the restaurant, I ordered a burger a some broast chicken. I'm glad I ordered them, it was really nice. Wish them Good luck and would love to come back and try more options.

We had rented the upstairs for a party of 35 for an after work dinner. We ordered biryani, fries, philly cheese steak. All were fine- especially the biryani and fries. The cheesesteak wasn't anything special. The chai was very good! We went back today to catch lunch before I flight back home. They took super long getting our burgers as they were understaffed. However, it was kind of worth the wait. The zinger burger was soft and tasty, the Thai burger was home made and good. The Green salad was ok but nothing special. My tip is come here if you crave these items: amazing crispy fries, burgers or biryani. 3.5 stars. 1/2 star removed for taking too long.

We stopped at this restaurant for lunch after driving 10 plus hours straight. We enjoyed our meal very much. The portions were large and the dishes we ordered were chicken biryani and kebab which were both delicious. We would definitely stop here again the next time we are in the area.

I found this place a few months ago when I received a discount coupon and it was very near me. I am an adventurous eater so I had to try it. My first trip in the man behind the counter recommended a few different items to try. Since that night I have now tried everything on the menu and everything has been great. I often have trouble deciding on what to get now. The Broast chicken is my girlfriend's favorite, probably the best fried chicken in Cobb county or even further out. For me it is hard to pick between the Karachi Chicken and the chicken wings. Chicken wings sounds like such a simple thing, but the spices they marinade them in are amazing. So much wonderful flavor. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The burgers are also outstanding.

Delicious Pakistanian food, we got the chicken 65, and chicken biryani. We tried to get the Karachi chicken, but they were sold out. Will deff try next time, generous portion for size and extremely fresh. I wish I knew about this place sooner, will deff be returning.

Absolutely love this food. It is delicious. I only wish they had Haleem. Other locations do serve Haleem but this one doesn't. Still the food is amazing.

I typically go to the Norcross location, so I was very happy to discover that they also had a Marietta location. I decided to visit Karachi Broast on a Tuesday night for an early dinner. When I arrived to the restaurant was completely empty, and I thought they were closed. To my surprise, the worker informed me that I was just ahead of the typical dinner rush. I ordered my typical dinner, the Spicy Thai Burger and 10pc Hot wings. As is the case with the Norcross location, I had a similar dining experience. The Spicy Thai Burger is probably one of my favorite burgers in town. An absolute plus is the fact that everything on the menu is Halal. The staff was very friendly and the food was of the highest quality. The price of the food is an amazing value. I highly recommend this location.

This place confuses me. Is it a nightclub? Is it a dinner place? Is it a lunch place? It def has an identify crisis. That being said, I came here with coworkers and ordered a variety of foods and everything was very good! What I really like (and what differentiates this place from 3 to 4 stars) is that they have a very extensive menu and even the "american" food is well done. We have several picky eaters and the people who ordered salads and burgers had just as appealing (and yummy) looking food as those who ordered the traditional food. I would come again with a group, although I'm not sure I'd come back on my own since it's got a weird vibe to it. But 4 stars for the extensive and good menu!

Value for money and quality of meat - Amazing! Their boti kebab platter and mutton biryaani (not on meny yet) is pretty awesome. Chicken 65 was okay. I can't wait to try some of their curries. Oh, and it takes a little time for them to get your order prepared (a good thing in my opinion), so just keep that in mind.

The atmosphere is nice the servers are friendly. It's in the corner of the complex. Looks small but very spacious when you walk in. Local artist art is on the walls. They even have a floor for events. They do weddings, birthdays,graduations , and other parties of you want. The food is excellent and always freshly made. Love them. Favorite dish the Seekh Kabab roll.

The food quality here is absolutely amazing, and the service quality is just as good. The amount of food you get looks small, but the food is very filling. Along with their food, the tea and mango lassi are very delectable. This place is a must go, the experience here is amazing.

Bought chicken Briyani. It was ok. Not too great. It's colored rice with chicken pieces in it. Not dum chicken. Briyani was bland. No salt. Quantity was pretty decent. It's ok. Not my first choice but might come here again if I'm in a pinch. There are better Indian restaurants in the neighborhood.

Wow! The food is so good! Atlanta does not have a lot of halal options but this has been top tier. I order the hot wings, burger and goat biryani. AMAZING and very full plates. If you're looking for affordable and flavorful, this is the place to go.

Probably oe of my favorite lunch places in town. Tasty healthy food fast. Prices are reasonable to boot!

Had Sunday afternoon lunch before the crowd. Ordered a three kabob plate with green sauce and flat bread for 12 bucks. Two chicken and one beef all well seasoned. The beef kabob was way over marinated, ok let's call it partially dissolved protein, mushy. To bad for me because I was hungry and ate the beef. I'll give the place another try some day. It was good average uninspired cuisine. Chef Mark says you can do better.

Good place for the price you get some quality recipes and dishes for next to nothing. This is a place to come in grab a quick lunch and be on your way. It's located in a shopping center with other international food places to visit. Check them out!

First time in Atlanta were from Dallas so we thought this would be a good place to try. Mediocre ambiance decent food but HANDS DOWN THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. I asked for a zinger burger with the spicy ketchup on the side and the guy gives me this(see attached picture). When I asked to give me one that's at least more than half way full he said no. What kinda service is this. We also ordered the tandoori pasta. when it arrived didn't come with utensils to serve and when we brought it to his attention he just pointed to the side table and said you can get them yourself. Never recommending anyone to this place again.

No Pakistani food taste. Food is good restaurant is clean but food is ok not great. It is good place to try at least once

All the menu items are flavorful and in generous portions! Been enjoying this restaurant since it opened!

This establishment's customer service is lacking. I ordered their Tandoori chicken Alfredo dish and was given a 30 minute pick up time. After arriving I was then told that they ran out of pasta with no apology. When asked why they didn't inform me of that over the phone before I drove all the way there, I was told "how was I supposed to know." Needless to say, I will not be returning to this place. Avoid if you're looking for good service.
