Karahi Point specializes in authentic Pakistani and Indian cuisine, emphasizing the traditional preparation of meat and vegetable dishes cooked in heavy cast-iron woks. The menu features signature karahi preparations where fresh spices, ginger, and tomatoes create deep, complex flavor profiles that define the establishment. Patrons select from a wide variety of protein options, including tender goat and chicken, all served alongside freshly baked naan from the clay oven. The atmosphere centers on the aromatic intensity of charcoal-grilled tandoori specialties and slow-cooked curries. Ingredients are selected to maintain the bold, spicy authenticity characteristic of the regional culinary traditions offered here. Each dish undergoes a rigorous cooking process to ensure that the heat levels and spice balances align with the classic expectations of Pakistani street-style preparation in a focused, unpretentious environment.

I have visited this @karahipoint in @montreal today on my way to US. The food was definitely the best but other than that the atmosphere, ambience, decor & above all the hospitality of the servers were amazing. The over all dining experience at a new place with fingers crossed were worth a review. Couldn't took pictures of the food because I completely forgot after taking the first bite of everything we ordered. Nihari was top notch, biryani was very tasty, channay reminds me of of Pakistani street naan channay, & chicken karahi was also very delectable. Same naans & garlic naans were hot served & tasty.
Must try this restaurant if you happen to pass through Montreal.
Everything was really good. Alishba took care of us & she was super nice the whole time, always checking up to make sure we were good. We got the Chicken Tikka Masala, Garlic Naan, Sesame Naan, Palak Gosht, Lamb Biryani & Gulab Jamun. No joke, every single thing was good. The naan was fresh, the chicken tikka masala had a lot of flavor, & the lamb was really tender. The biryani was probably one of my favorites. Even the dessert was amazing.
Definitely worth trying. Good portions, good service, & nice atmosphere but no music. I'll for sure be coming back.

I remember last time the Tikka Biryani was very nice but i dont know what was wrong yesterday only green chutney/sauce was nice. We tried samosa chaat, papri chat, bihari boti, tikka biryani, signature krahi, fish pakora, & qeema. Only Fish Pakora was good in taste but was not crispy wasnt tried well.
Bihari boti was broken. It was becoming qeema on a touch. It was tasteless. Tikka in Biryani was looking made of rotten chicken. We complained for it & the waitress didnt bother to say sorry once. She was arguing that its good. Signature Karahi taste was very normal. Qeema was also normal taste. Naans were very bad maybe they were frozen naans. I wonder why a cook doesnt know how to make a naan.
I had an amazing experience at this desi restaurant. The flavors were authentic & reminded me of proper homemade South Asian cooking. The butter chicken was rich & creamy with just the right balance of spices, & the biryani was fragrant, flavorful, & perfectly cooked. You can tell they don't cut corners with ingredients.
The naan came out fresh, soft, & slightly crispy on the edges - easily one of the best I've had. Portions were generous, & everything tasted fresh, not reheated.
Service was also on point - staff were friendly, attentive, & made sure everything was perfect. The atmosphere had a nice vibe too, clean & welcoming.
Definitely one of the better desi spots I've tried. I'll 100% be coming back.
⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐? Amazing Pakistani Restaurant - A True Taste of Home! 🇵🇰🔥
We tried the combo platter, which included:
🥘 Half Chicken Karahi
🥖 2 Fresh Naans
🍢 3 Chicken Kebabs
🍮 2 Gulab Jamun
We also ordered the Chicken Dum Biryani separately.
First, let me say - the combo is absolutely worth it! 💯 The chicken karahi is their signature dish & it truly stands out. The flavors were rich, bold, & perfectly balanced with that authentic desi spice level. You can tell it's cooked properly in traditional style. Definitely a must-try if you visit! 🔥👌
The chicken kebabs were juicy & flavorful, & the naan was fresh & soft - perfect for scooping up that karahi gravy 🤤
The gulab jamun was another highlight - super soft, warm, & soaked perfectly in syrup. 🍮✨
Now, about the Chicken Dum Biryani - unfortunately, it was served cold & the taste didn't quite match the authenticity of the other dishes. It wasn't bad, but compared to the karahi, it didn't stand out.
?
Overall, this place genuinely impressed me. ❤?
Ever since my trip to Pakistan 🇵🇰, I've been searching for food that truly captures those real, traditional flavors - & I finally found it here. This restaurant honestly brought back memories of Pakistan. The taste feels authentic & made with care.
The owners & staff are incredibly warm, welcoming, & attentive. Their hospitality adds so much to the experience. You can feel that they genuinely care about their customers. 🙌✨
The Goat Karahi (if you try it!) is outstanding - perfectly cooked, full of deep flavor, & truly authentic. As someone who has high standards for desi food (especially coming from New York standards 😄), this place absolutely delivers on taste & quality.
If you're visiting Montreal & craving real Pakistani food done right, I highly recommend Karahi Point to anyone & everyone. 🍽?🔥
I had a great experience at Karachi Point. The food tasted great & it seems to be authentic. I tried the Chicken Tikka biryani, veggie springrolls, & some ground beef kebab style.
Tye springrolls & the sauces (chutney & yogurt) were great. The chutney was a great combination with the ground beef, as it was recommended by the staff.
The best choice for this evening was the chicken Tikka that was fer tender & rich with flavor. I loved it. The biryani rice was great but a bit spicy for my taste, but the yogurt was a great combination.
The dessert was a classic vanilla ice-cream with chocolate cake, but next time I am planning to try something more traditional.
The staff was very professional & helpful. They answered all our questions & helped with recommendation for this visit & for next time. I am planning to try the Karahi which seems to be their specialty.
The service & staff were amazing, food was lacking flavors, was expecting a lot . I had ordered chai , Signature chicken karahi , Panner Karahi , some bread & Chicken Biryani . Chicken Biryani was completely bland , but I did like the naan(bread) also the chai was good but it wasn't served hot.
Sat Jan 17th 2026 we four of us adult visited this restaurant for our dinner. Lots of parking available & enough space inside restaurant. Segment of restaurant that was garage modified area where we had our table, was a bit cooler. Perhaps not proper insulation done while modification was carried out, so we were feeling a bit cold so we put our jackets on again.
Our table order was taken by Jaspeer who was giving us good suggestion while selecting dishes.
For appetizer we got chicken pakora & chicken bbq & they were reasonable. Chicken tikka biryani was reasonable but noted that it was brought in a small flat steel dish that was difficult to take from without getting rice falling on the table. Chicken karhai was warm & nice. Nihari was mediocre but hot. Nihari must be provided with some garnishing but they did not provide Any. We had to ask green chilli. Nan were sub standard.
Sometime we go to desi restaurant only with attraction of clay nan.
Overall food were served hot & medium taste. No one came to our table while starting our food or in the middle to ask if all was ok or if we needed something in addition. At the end Jaspeer might think we were a bit uncomfortable so she asked if anything we did not like, she would not charge but I told her, no all were ok.
When we were almost done, a lady came to ask if food was ok (we were wondering if she listened our conversation)
Finally when giving bill, found out they didn't ask for tip or they didn't charge any.
Suggestion: if they want to improve business. Please add some more attendant & train them to show some courtesy to improve customer experience.
Give warm feeling an if they have cooling efficiency issue, many solutions possible.
Also pay attention to some points above. Your foods are average but most desi restaurant has average as well. But service sometime makes big difference .
Charge tip in return of good warm courteous service.
Thanks
The food & service were excellent!-good sized portions -perfectly spiced, we asked for medium spice level. We had the combo #2 You can see that the chef cares about the quality of the food- the chicken Karahi was juicy & flavourful, the chicken in the biryani was tender & the kebabs & naan were fresh & tasty. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant - it was our first time here & we will definitely be back:)
