  Amazing food with top-notch customer service. You can really feel the care in both the taste and the hospitality. Brunch buffet on the weekend is a must try. Owners Jamshed and Zahed truly make you feel home. Definitely coming back again.💯

  I had been craving something really flavourful in Pakistani cuisine for a while. My usual go-to spot is Karahi Boys, but this time I wanted to try something different, so we decided to visit Charsi Karahi & BBQ in Mississauga. The ambience was good and the restaurant wasn’t busy at all, so we got a table easily without any wait. For the order, I went with Peshawari Karahi, three naan, and tea. The food was honestly awesome and full of flavour. The karahi tasted really authentic and well-seasoned. The only small downside was that the gravy portion was a bit less than expected, but the rich taste of the karahi easily made up for it. The naan were soft and fresh, perfect to pair with the karahi, and the tea was also quite good — a nice way to finish the meal. The main issue I noticed was with the service. It was quite slow overall. It took a long time for someone to take our order, and the food preparation also felt slower than it should have been, especially since the place wasn’t busy. The staff definitely needs to be a bit more active and attentive. Overall, it was a really good dining experience in terms of food, and I would definitely like to visit again to try more items from the menu. The only star I’m taking off in this review is purely for the service. With improved service, this place has the potential to be an excellent spot for Pakistani food lovers. ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆

  This restaurant serves outstanding Pakistani cuisine. The goat karahi and sesame naan were exceptional—the flavor was absolutely finger-licking! I enjoyed the nice decor and the relaxed atmosphere during my weekday dinner visit. I'll definitely be back to explore the rest of the menu!

  Iftar buffet was fresh. Place is bit congested. Ample food, good refills or replacements. Tea and sodas not included. They do offer water and two sweet drinks one was red. Reasonable price. Parking lot fills up very quickly. Space to pray.

  Great ambiance. Was very excited to try maghaz nihari, paya there. We ordered maghaz nihari, paya and charsi karhai... The karhai was the best among them. The paya and niyari didn't look what I expected it, lacked layer of red oil that brings the signature color for both dishes. Taste was OK too, not something that leaves me craving to come here again and again... Maybe difference in traditional dishes from Karachi and taste in Lahore, so will give them benefit of doubt there. While many of us thought food was okay, my dad loved it :) Besides the food, the service was awesome, very friendly staff... The ambiance was good, very clean place... And not to mention, their restrooms were very clean too... Which is usually not common for Pakistani restaurants lol
