Felt like home away from home! Delicious nihari with appropriately tender meat,served with hot fresh and crisp roti. Seekh kabab and Chapli kabab, cooked to perfection and served with yogurt raita and green chutney. Thanks guys for an exceptional service paired with scrumptious food. Recommended ????????

Just had delicious breakfast today. Halwa puri, chana and amazing Aloo ki sabzi. Halwa could be slightly sweeter but I didn't mind since everything else was Excellent. Nihari was also great. I would highly recommend to anyone if who is visiting or living in Adelaide. Authentic Karachi taste!!!

Very high quality halwa puri and quick service. They made an additional nan for us in 2 minutes. Price is also very good except the tea which felt a bit expensive but taste was perfect

This spot is a bit quiet due to its location in Pooraka, but it’s well worth the visit for the food alone—an absolute 10/10. The flavors are authentically Pakistani, without any local adaptations, which was a refreshing find in Adelaide. In addition to their traditional dishes, they also have a pizzeria, and their pizzas are surprisingly good. The place is clean, reasonably priced, and operates on a self-service model, making for a relaxed and convenient dining experience. If you’re after genuine Pakistani cuisine, this is definitely a must-visit.

Karachi Baithak – A Taste of Pakistan at Its Best! Karachi Baithak delivers an authentic and flavorful Pakistani dining experience. The biryani was perfectly spiced, with tender meat and fragrant rice that felt straight out of Karachi. The haleem was rich, creamy, and full of depth, while the BBQ was juicy, smoky, and bursting with flavor. Everything tasted fresh and cooked with care. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service made the meal even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone craving genuine Pakistani comfort food!
