Barney's Karahiwala Restaurant

I recently ordered chicken karahi from Barney's Karahiwala for the first time. I called ahead and asked about portion sizes, and the girl on the phone told me that a half portion serves two people. Based on that, I ordered two half portions.

When I arrived to pick up the food, I discovered there's a "full" option that serves the same amount but costs $10 less. When I asked why I was being charged $60 instead of $50, her response was, "Oh, I packed it in two boxes." That was a bit cheeky, and honestly, I felt misled. She could've easily told me that a full portion was available and would save me money.

The food itself was okay, naans were amazing —no complaints there—but I’m docking one star for the lack of transparency and upselling without informing the customer. A little honesty goes a long way.

This restaurant was off the blocks very quickly and stamped their authority with their signature Krahai dishes. Until last few months they were the best in at least tri cities but something has happed here and it on sharp downhill slope. Taste, ingredients, flavours and freshness has gone missing. I gave it couple of months and few trips before a review.

After a long time, I finally experienced an authentic flavor of pakistani karahi that truly satisfied my taste buds. It was a refreshing and delightful experience!

today i visited this restaurant for buffet dine in with my friends. The food was really good and their service was great specially server named Aysha. her customer service was up to the mark. she served us the appetizer we were waiting for and even the desert. we really appreciate her good service. Do recommend to visit this place.

Their iftar buffet is poorly organized. We called them a few days earlier to let them know that we will be a party of 13 people. They didn’t refill the trays at all when needed and the servers kept saying ‘we already refilled it thrice’ which wasn’t true because the dish was empty from a very long time and it was empty when the request was made. Their job is to refill it instead of lying about doing it. The food was ok, less options. Zaiqa is 10x better organized with better food.

Eiditing again March 2025. We decided to try thier iftar buffet. Everything was stale, not enough variety for iftar items, undercooked chicken tikka. Pakorey were a joke, no Chana chaat or Dahi Bhalley, fruitchat was was disappointing. Only one thing was fresh and that was karahi. Biryani was 100% days old. Rooh Afzah and tang tasted more like water. Never coming back again.

Changed my review because the breakfast was so bad. Overpriced and food were clearly from the night before. The menu was more like lunch. No usual breakfast items. The food was very old and tasted really bad. Nothing was fresh.

This place is good for dinner but not for breakfast. The place was nice and clean.

Very bad experience. No tast . One time chicken Lahorei karayi was good but after that bad tast. Rogani Naan is not Rogani . Today I tast alo palak totally tast less . Fry chicken was over cooked and burned. Bariyani was tast less. I can't imagine people just eat because they are hungry .karayi is not cheap I just wast my money. And this is 3rd time experience. Now I put my review . Not happy at all.
