Few dishes capture the bold flavours and shared dining tradition of Pakistani cuisine quite like Karahi. Known for its rich aroma, fresh ingredients and distinctive cooking style, Pakistani Karahi has become a favourite for families and food lovers looking for a satisfying meal to enjoy together.
At Kebab Bey in Surrey, BC, Karahi is one of the specialities at the heart of our menu. From Chicken Karahi and Goat Karahi to our Lamb Shinwari Karahi, each variety brings its own character to the table.
What Makes Pakistani Karahi Special?
The name Karahi comes from the traditional deep, round cooking vessel in which the dish is prepared.
Unlike many curry-style dishes, Karahi is known for allowing the flavour of the meat, tomatoes, ginger, chilies and spices to come together during cooking. The result is a rich, aromatic dish that pairs naturally with freshly baked naan.
Across Pakistan, different regions have developed their own approach to Karahi. Some versions are intensely spiced and tomato-forward, while others—such as Shinwari Karahi—typically focus on a simpler combination of ingredients that allows the flavour of the meat to stand out.
At Kebab Bey, our menu brings several of these popular Pakistani Karahi choices together.
Lahori Style Chicken Karahi
Our Lahori Style Chicken Karahi brings together tender chicken, fresh ingredients and traditional Pakistani spices for the bold flavour associated with Lahore-style cooking.
Fresh ginger and green chilies complement the tomato-based Karahi, creating a dish that’s full of flavour without losing the character of the chicken.
Served with fresh naan, salad and chutney, Chicken Karahi is an excellent choice for sharing around the table.
Goat Karahi – A Pakistani Favourite
For those who enjoy deeper and richer meat flavours, Goat Karahi, also commonly known as Mutton Karahi, is another traditional favourite.
Tender goat is cooked in the Karahi with tomatoes, ginger, green chilies and aromatic spices, allowing the meat to absorb the flavours as it cooks.
The combination of tender meat and rich Karahi masala makes Goat Karahi particularly satisfying when enjoyed with hot naan.
Lamb Shinwari Karahi
Lamb Shinwari Karahi offers a different expression of this classic Pakistani dish.
Inspired by the Shinwari style of cooking, tender lamb is prepared with fresh tomatoes, green chilies and carefully selected spices. The emphasis is on bringing out the natural richness of the lamb rather than overwhelming it with unnecessary ingredients.
For guests searching for Lamb Karahi in Surrey, our Lamb Shinwari Karahi offers a flavourful introduction to this well-known style of Pakistani cooking.
Karahi Is Made for Sharing
Part of what makes Karahi special isn’t simply how it tastes—it’s how it’s enjoyed.
A hot Karahi placed in the middle of the table alongside fresh naan, salad and chutney naturally becomes a shared meal. It’s equally suited to a family dinner, an evening with friends or simply satisfying a serious Karahi craving.
And if everyone at the table wants something different, Kebab Bey’s menu also features our other specialties, including Peshawari Chapli Kebabs and Pakistani BBQ dishes.
