Lahori Butt Karahi

Visited 06/06/2025, went for evening meal and it was also Eid Al Adha so upstairs area was fully booked/reserved, so sat downstairs quickly by staff. Parking in front of location is very limited, however free parking in adjacent side street (avoid streets with yellow lines).

The menu is starters, karahis and specials and drinks, unfortunately the jug drinks were not available on day we visited apart from the Lassi drinks, which we ordered and was enjoyed. The 7 up mojito cans were interesting also. We were asked if all food at once or starters first then mains and we went separate. The family starter platter was just right for the five of us who went. When the mains came the special naan which was buttered and had sesame seeds on was lovely, one of the family who had been before had previously tried the lamb karahi and said it was off the bone, the menu did not state that the chicken was on the bone, so when it came out was slightly disappointed as was expecting it to be off the bone and not having to faff around, the salaan/shora sauce was nice with the dish. The whole chicken special is steamed before cooking and the meat was tasty and fell off the bone easily, worth getting if you go.

Pricing wise the dishes were reasonably priced and I’d say it’s worth trying this place out, just don’t expect it to be a plush restaurant, it’s basic tables, plates etc, this is made up for by the food and I’d specifically recommend checking when ordering dish next time if it is boneless.

Rating four out of five stars purely based on the main butter chicken karahi being not as good as it could potentially be as a boneless chicken, mainly as a lot of the substance of the dish is then bones as opposed to chicken meat.

I ordered the takeaway kebab platter, and it was really nice and well-cooked. The lamb chops were undercooked, but everything else was good. The raita and naan were particularly delicious.

Fahad served us and it was amazing

I had a lovely experience at Lahori Butt Karahi in Manchester. Even though we hadn’t pre-booked, they were kind enough to accommodate us despite having many reserved tables. I arrived at iftar time, and they thoughtfully asked if I was fasting, offering dates and Rooh Afza before even taking my order, which was a really kind gesture. The food was delicious, and the service was great. The only small disappointment was that some items, like Hareesa and Lamb Biryani, weren’t available, which was a bit surprising for a busy Saturday evening. That said, everything else was wonderful, and I’d happily visit again!

I had a great experience at Butt Karahi, a fantastic Pakistani restaurant! Their Rahu fish and chicken karahi were absolutely delicious. The Rahu fish was perfectly cooked—flavorful, tender, and spiced just right. The chicken karahi was bursting with authentic flavors that reminded me of true Pakistani cuisine.

The staff was friendly and attentive, and the food was served fresh and hot. However, the restaurant does have some space constraints at the moment, which can make it feel a bit cramped during busy hours. Once they address this, it'll be a flawless experience!

Despite the spacing issue, the quality of food and service more than makes up for it. Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic Pakistani flavors! 🐟🍗🍛
