The food is so good and authentic and everyone there was so attentive. When they didn’t have something on the menu they offered to cook it for us anyway. Just wish they would spruce up the place a bit, it’s kind of a hole-in-the-wall. But all in all, amazing food and service!

All the items I ordered were highly spicy and the taste was not as expected as suggested by frnds and family. I ordered a good amt of food for $100 but neither was salad served with the gravies nor was Raita served with the Biryani. The biriyani meat was too large pieces and missed flavour.

The owner checked in multiple times during our visit and wanted our honest opinion and I didn’t feel comfortable giving this feedback in person. The seating was comfortable, and with no other customers present, our food arrived quickly.

However, most of the BBQ items were unavailable. Although we were told the Chicken Tikka was available, it was not prepared as BBQ, which suggests it may not have been available either. The Chicken Biryani was acceptable, but the chicken itself did not seem fully cooked. The Peshawari karhai, unfortunately, did not meet expectations in terms of flavor or quality.

Overall, while the service was attentive and the environment comfortable, the food availability and execution need improvement for a better dining experience.

🔥 Colachi Halal Restaurant did not disappoint for NYE dinner! Beef Bahri and chicken Mali boti were ON POINT 🤤. Chicken tikka masala and nihari were just mid 😬, same with the Naan 😐. BUT huge shoutout to owner Ishmael, super nice dude! 🤝 Definitely coming back for that Bahri and good vibes. 4/5 stars

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We visited Colachi Restaurant as a group of five and had a wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Ali and Ismail bhai, who made us feel right at home.
The food was absolutely delicious. We enjoyed the BBQ beef behari kabab, their house special Nihari, and garlic naan—everything was full of flavor and perfectly cooked. For dessert, the kheer and gulab jamun were incredibly tasty and a perfect ending to the meal.
Great food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. We will definitely be coming back again. Highly recommended! 👍🍽️

Being Pakistani myself and having lived in places like Houston and NYC - home to some of the best Pakistani food in America - finding truly authentic Pakistani cuisine in Southern California has always been a challenge. So when this place opened, we made the drive to finally try it... and I swear, this is the most authentic Pakistani food in all of SoCal.

FINALLY — a 100% authentic Pakistani restaurant has arrived here.

The owners and staff are absolutely wonderful, and the service is outstanding. The Peshawari Mutton Karahi is out of this world phenomenal, the Nihari is hands-down the best I've had in California, and the Chicken Tikka was perfect. Their prices are surprisingly competitive for the area, which makes the experience even better.

We are genuinely so excited that an amazing, truly Pakistani restaurant has opened here. We've waited so long for something this good -- and this place exceeded every expectation. Highly, highly recommend!

The food was absolutely amazing! The kabobs, biryani, nehari, and halwa puri were all incredibly delicious and authentic. Every dish had rich flavor and tasted just like true traditional cooking. I really enjoyed everything — highly recommended for anyone craving real desi food!
