Chef’s specials

Two Special Dishes Daily

Beef Chapli Kabab
Daily

Beef Chapli Kabab

8SAR

Minced beef pressed flat with pomegranate seed, coriander and crushed chilli, then shallow-fried until the edges go lacy and crisp.

Beef Afghani Kabab
Daily

Beef Afghani Kabab

12SAR

Hand-minced beef threaded onto flat skewers and cooked over open coals — salt, fat and smoke, nothing else.

Karahi

Cooked to order in a heavy iron wok

Karahi

Every karahi is started from raw when you order it, so give us a little time. Full serves 4–5, half serves 2–3, quarter serves one.

Lahori

Tomato-forward and generous with crushed black pepper, ginger juliennes and whole green chilli.

Shinwari

House speciality

The purist’s way — meat, tomato, salt and its own fat. No masala to hide behind.

White

No tomato at all. Yoghurt, cream and white pepper make it mild, silky and quietly addictive.

Chatkhara

Most ordered

Sharp with lemon, chaat masala and green chilli. Our loudest karahi, and the one most often ordered twice.

From the Coals

BBQ, grilled to order over open fire

From the Coals

Marinated overnight and grilled the moment you order — over charcoal or gas, whichever the dish calls for.

Chicken Chest Piece Bone-in breast, yoghurt-marinated overnight, seared until the skin blisters.
Chicken Leg Piece The juicier cut. Darker meat, deeper smoke.
Chicken Boti Boneless cubes, charred at the corners, soft in the middle.
Chicken Malai Boti Mild Cream, cheese and white pepper. Mild enough for the children at the table.
Chicken Tikka Boti The red one — Kashmiri chilli, ginger and lemon.
Beef Boti Tenderised cubes of beef, heavy on the smoke.
Chicken Wings Simple, salted, grilled hard. The plate that empties first.
Chaska Wings Spicy Wings tossed in our tangy chilli rub while still hot off the grill.
Beef Kabab Seekh-style minced beef, hand-rolled onto the skewer.
Chicken Kabab Lighter seekh kabab with coriander and green chilli through it.
Behari Kabab Thin strips of beef tenderised until they almost fall apart, then grilled until they curl.
BBQ Mix Platter For sharing A little of everything from the grill, arranged on one tray. Built for a table, not a person.
Daal & Vegetable Karahi

Slow-cooked, meat-free, all day long

Daal & Vegetable Karahi

Every one of these is cooked without meat and finished with a fresh tarka of garlic and cumin.

Daal Fry Karahi Yellow lentils under a sizzling garlic tarka.
Daal Lobia Karahi Black-eyed beans simmered soft in tomato and cumin.
Daal Chana Karahi Split chickpeas that keep their bite, spiced dark and warm.
Daal Mash Karahi White urad daal, dry-style, with ginger cut fine over the top.
Vegetable Karahi Whatever came in fresh that morning, cooked hard and fast in the wok.
Rice & Pulao

Long-grain, layered, and never rushed

Rice & Pulao

Single is one full plate. Double is built for two, or for one very serious appetite.

Single Chicken Biryani Layered with saffron rice, fried onion and a whole piece of chicken.
Double Chicken Biryani The same, doubled — two pieces, twice the rice.
Single Beef Pulao Rice cooked in beef stock rather than water. Subtler than biryani, and deeper.
Double Beef Pulao A full double portion with extra meat folded through.
Naan & Roti

Straight from the tandoor, all day

Naan & Roti

Baked against the clay wall of the tandoor and brought to you while it is still too hot to hold.

Roghni Naan Brushed with ghee and scattered with sesame.
Plain Naan The everyday naan. Soft, blistered, honest.
Rumaali Naan Stretched thin as a handkerchief, then folded warm.
Kabul Naan The long ridged loaf, scored down its length and built for tearing.
Tandoori Roti Wholewheat, thin and quick. The one that goes with daal.
Sides & Drinks

Raita Whipped yoghurt with roasted cumin and mint.
Salad Onion, cucumber, green chilli and lemon. Cut to order.
