" It’s no surprise to me that this restaurant gets rave reviews! Everything I’ve eaten there is a delight. The chicken biryani is spiced wonderfully, and everything is very fresh. The only negatives were that it’s sometimes noisy and could be cleaner. Nevertheless, I can live with that for food this good! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant came highly recommended, and now I see why! I ordered the goat curry and it was delightful, tender pieces of meat in a rich gravy. The garlic naan was exceptional and soaked up the curry perfectly. The restaurant isn't fancy, but the important part is the food is exceptional. Service was quick and friendly. If you’re looking for quality Pakistani food, you need to check this place out! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really excited to try this place after hearing so many good things. The chicken tikka masala I ordered was decent, but I expected it to be more flavorful. The naan was good, but it lacked that special touch. The restaurant itself was quite cozy, but I noticed it could have used a bit more cleaning. Service was okay; they seemed overwhelmed even though it wasn’t super busy. Might give it another shot to see if it improves. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, just wow! Best curry I've had in the Bay Area. We ordered a variety of dishes and each one ticked all boxes for taste and authenticity. The korma stood out as it was perfectly creamy without being overwhelming. The atmosphere is casual, and the restaurant can get a bit crowded, but it adds to the charm. Finally, the pricing is surprisingly reasonable for such quality. I can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I really wanted to love this place, especially after all the rave reviews. The chicken tikka masala was good, but I've had better. The portions were fair and the naan was fluffy, but I just expected more. The décor didn't leave an impression, and the service was average. I might give it another try, but for now, it's just okay for me. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you want to dive into authentic Pakistani flavors, Lahore Karahi is the place to be! I loved their chicken biryani — it was full of spices and quite generous in portion. The handmade naan was soft and perfect for soaking up the curry. One of the highlights was the complimentary chai that was served warm. The only downside was a bit slow service during peak hours, but the food made up for it completely! I’ll definitely be back for another round soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Lahore Karahi has become my go-to spot when I need a taste of home. The flavors are authentic, bringing back memories of family meals. Their nihari is exceptional, rich and meaty, and paired wonderfully with fluffy naan. I appreciate the open kitchen, as I can see the care that goes into its preparation. The only minor complaint would be the wait times, which can get long during busy hours. Overall, an extraordinary experience that will keep me coming back! " (*Curated Review*)
