Karachi Darbar by Anjum Rafique

Tried this ghost kitchen for the first time yesterday and was pleasantly surprised! We ordered the Chicken Malai Boti Roll and the Beef Nihari. The roll was packed with juicy chicken and bursting with flavor. The Nihari had a generous amount of tender meat and a comforting, homestyle taste. The soft roti served with it was the perfect pairing. Definitely worth trying!

We ordered the beef nehari and chicken malai boti rolls. The roll had a very distinctive taste because of the different flavours with every bite. The nehari was one of the best I have had in Canada so far. Even the rotis were soft and tasty. Perfect blend of spices in all the items.

The chef is attentive to details, and made it exactly how I wanted it to be. Will definitely come back for this.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience with the mutton curry at Karachi Darbar was shockingly bad. The meat was tough, dry, and barely edible, and the curry itself lacked any real depth of flavor. It tasted like it had been reheated multiple times and dumped into a bowl without care. Only fried tomato and onion. Pre cooked mutton with tadka gravy only

For a place that claims to serve authentic Pakistani cuisine, this was a complete letdown. No balance of spices, no richness — just oily, bland gravy with poorly cooked meat. I wouldn’t serve this to a guest, let alone pay for it.

Definitely not going back. Save your money — and your appetite — for somewhere else.

Tried the kebab platter. They were nicely cooked, and the platter came with a good mix. Rotis were yummy. The sauce (green and red) they served was really good without overpowering the food. It was our first try of ghost kitchen concept. Wish there was seating (its take away only). Worth a visit if you're in the mood for something homely, spicy and well-seasoned.

Authentic Pakistani cuisine. My favourite so far have been chicken koila karahi, paratha rolls, and boneless beef biryani. The samosas are also good but small in size and pricey. The food never disappoints.

I recently ordered the chicken biryani, and unfortunately, I was quite disappointed with the quality. The dish felt more like coloured rice rather than authentic biryani. The chicken was overcooked and dry, and the biryani was overloaded with whole garam masala, which made it quite unpleasant to eat. I was really expecting better flavour and balance. I hope you take this feedback constructively and work on improving the taste and preparation. Thank you

The chicken biryani was not good.worst biryani i ever had

I always had an incredible experience at Karachi Darbar. Their food is delicious, full of flavour, and authentic. Karachi-style Beef biryani is absolutely one of my favourites. The taste is spot on. It's a must-try option….. Highly recommend!!

The food was absolutely amazing. So flavourful, great portion size and the perfect amount of spice. We don’t dine out frequently, so when we do, we are very conscious of where. This will definitely be our new go to spot!
