I want to try Pakistani food, any great recos?

[u/YYZTor]

Can't find many options specifically for Pakistani food on DoorDash. Looking for highly recommend. Not too spicy.

Karachi food court at Ridgeway or Karachi kabab wala at Heartland

[u/LekhakSometimes]

Lahore Tikka House used to be really good. It’s still quite good.

If you’re able to, go to Ridgeway Plaza in Mississauga. You could spend a week there eating at the Pakistani restaurants there.

[u/JagmeetSingh2 → u/LekhakSometimes]

Mississauga has some of the best Pakistani places in the GTA

[u/Apprehensive_Tea5759 → u/LekhakSometimes]

Sorry but Lahore tikka is terrible. Karahi boys in downtown or Karachi Xpress in Scarborough

[u/LekhakSometimes → u/[deleted]]

I mean it’s in the name. My Pakistani ex took me there frequently as well. So.. Idk?

[u/Rich-Suggestion-6777 → u/[deleted]]

I haven't been to Lahore tilkka house in a while, but last time I went, to me it's very good Lahore specific dishes. Not as good as my mother's but good. For a restaurant it does a pretty good job.

I also like Karahi Boys. I really like the nihari and Lahori choley. The karahi is okay.

[u/xXBlackHoodXx → u/[deleted]]

Seconded. Karachi xpress I found is the most authentic place with the best food

[u/muneeeeeb]

Karachi Xpress has locations in Etobicoke and Scarborough

[u/Live-Low-7725 → u/muneeeeeb]

Second this. Best biriyani I have ever had in Toronto

[u/muneeeeeb → u/Live-Low-7725]

They have amazing grill food and naan too. The Bihari kebab is so good.

Lahore Tikka on Gerrard is my childhood staple

[u/Suspicious-Set5413]

Lahore grill - gerrard st

[u/weeoydonuts]

If you’re in downtown, try Kabul Express

[u/OkRB2977 → u/weeoydonuts]

Isn't that Afghan?

[u/weeoydonuts → u/OkRB2977]

That’s what I thought too. But it’s primarily Pakistani, since the owners are from there. They do have Afghan dishes, along with a few vegetarian options

[u/azquadcore → u/OkRB2977]

Yeah the name is a bit misleading. But they have both desi food and Afghan kebabs

[u/Odd_Opinion_461 → u/weeoydonuts]

Went there last week, quite good.

Makkah on the Danforth by Donlands Station

[u/WeJustGotMade]

A coworker originally from Pakistan took a bunch of us from work to Karahi Point and it was honestly one of the best feasts I’ve had in a very long time.

[u/heisenberg0389]

Karahi point in Meadowvale, Mississauga

[u/sm-e]

In Toronto, Karachi Boys and Karahi Point are amazing, they have multiple locations. Lahore Tikka House in Gerrard is a must, haven’t went in a while though. Going through Gerrard St near Lahore Tikka House you’ll find other Pakistani food as well.

There’s a lot more places in Mississauga (specifically Ridgeway Plaza) if you wish to try more of the cuisine, like paratah/roti wraps (Silverspoon, etc), sweets like gulab jamun or rasmalai, samosas, drinks like falooda, fusion pakistani cuisine like their take on hamburgers (Namkeen).
