MyKolachi Karahi & BBQ House

After reading mixed reviews, I wanted to give this place a try for myself. We did arrive late evening, once inside it appeared they just finished with the dinner rush as almost every table had leftover plates that had not yet been picked up.

The server did clean up a table for us shortly after seeking their attention.

A+ for the effort that went into perfectly curating art pieces that fit well with projecting Pakistani culture, the lamp shade chandeliers, and even the choice of painting all around including the bathroom. This place has a very modern feel to it.

Onto the menu, they have the Pakistani staples, we opted to try the Karahi and various meat bbq platters.

The Karahi sauce was purely delicious, the dark meat itself felt undercooked but that could just be preference thing. The kabobs were served with chutney, the chicken was very spicy but flavourful, the chicken kabob was our favourite. The naans served with the bbq were fresh.

The food experience it self was fine, the service however was lacking, when we ordered we were advised it was would 40 mins, so we were prepared to wait. Beyond that it was just a waiting game, requesting missing items, waiting for cheque, requesting takeaway boxes. Not sure if they are understaffed and by the end of the night, the staff just seemed exhausted that I didn’t want to ask for anything else.

We came here on a friends recommendation - it was a decent Pakistani restaurant. The restaurant itself is very clean and nicely setup. Almost like you’re dining at a restaurant in someone’s house. Super spacious, lots of light, and nice ethnic touches throughout.
The peshawari karhai was the best thing we ordered. Creamy, flavourful, lots of ginger. Absolutely delicious. Proves that you don’t need spice for food to be fantastic. The Bihari kebab was ok - I’ve had better seasoned Bihari kebab in canada. The spring rolls were a waste of money. Tiny and useless.
I went to the Dixie location which might be the reason behind my three stars. I’ve heard the Erinmills location is better? I will not return here.

Loved the entrance and decor of the restaurant. Done really well except for the tons of lights.

Also was impressed with the cutlery and dinner plates.

We choose the family plate of barbque food and was surprised for the really long wait for it to arrive.

Ordered a mango mojito which was really delicious
But the pina colada was such a disaster and had no coconut milk and barely sweet. Seemed like a ready pina colada and not a fresh made and just full of ice.

Once the platter arrived the kebabs, tikkas and fish pakora were really delicious and the meat was well marinated and succulent. The two chutneys were delicious two but no spoon to serve them was given. The naan with the food was very dry and thin so it went hard pretty quick. Did not enjoy it at all! Am sure they could do better with it!

Service on the whole was average.

Seems like a very busy restaurant so I would recommend call ahead for reservations and if possible even order in advance as they take very long for the food to come
