They have a new location at Meadowcale Town Centre where you can get steaks and ribs as well, I thought it was odd at first but man were those amazing ribs!! definitely try the butter chicken with naan as well and the best part is that its so cheap :)

Rice. Lots and lots of rice.
I ordered the Chicken Biryani which came so highly recommended, and boy, do they give you a lot of rice. Check out the pics I uploaded. The box is absolutely stuffed with flavorful, aromatic rice. I swear after poking around I thought to myself, "um... where's the chicken" as it takes a good amount of digging before you find the treasure, two chicken drumsticks buried in the mountain of carbs.
Don't take this as a complaint though, the rice has a good aroma, is flavored nicely with saffron and is generally really good. On the downside, the chicken itself was small (like I mentioned, two small drumsticks) and didn't have much seasoning, but for $5 it's a good deal overall.
If you want a cheap meal, enjoy Indian rice or want to feel like a pirate searching for treasure, check out the chicken biryani. I'll probably try other items on the menu though if I go back.Listed in: Dixie and Eg Lunch Spots

This establishment was recommended to me several times by food afficionados, so I had to see for myself what all the hype was about. I was warned beforehand that it was take-out only, but that never deters me, I literally post up outside take out spots with my mates and we slay food off our trunks.
The Behari Kebab was outstanding, literally exploding with flavour and presented not in your standard kebab manner. Seekh Kebabs were the next best and quite possibly the best "seekh kebabs" I have ever had. So juicy and seasoned perfectly, I was in heaven thus far. We also ordered reshmi kebabs but I was not overly impressed, I believe it was chicken but also tasted as tho there were egg in it too but just not for me.
Butter chicken was creamy, thick and seasoned well, this is not the establishment you would go to if you were looking for the best BC in the GTA, but nonetheless it was solid. Raita was delicious too, again seasoning was on point and it was refreshing.
Biryani is supposedly what KC is known for along with the kebabs and nihari. We had the chicken biryani and it was delicious, big chunks of chicken and tasted great. The fried fish was delicious too, crispy, seasoned well and nice texture. Good naan as well.
Unfortunately I was not able to try the nihari but I know I'll be back here soon, there is no question. On average the portions are fair and run you approximately $5 each, just unbelievable.
I asked for hot/pepper sauce but they did not have any. The food is spicy but I always need that extra jolt, so maybe I'll roll with my own homemade batch next time. -

I'm here all the time for lunch and it's amazing food for incredibly cheap. Everyone there is really nice and quick, I'm usually holding my food after the 10 minute drive down there.
The chicken biryani is really good, spicy and made properly with saffron, peppercorns and whole cloves. It's absolutely massive, 2 meals on it's own and it's less than $5 with tax.
Their butter chicken is fantastic, not too tomatoey and rich. The eggplant curry is really rich and spicy. The haleem is a standout, slow stewed beef in a thick wheaty gravy. I even like their daal, it's rich and spicy, and the spinach and potato curry is like 3 bucks and really filling. Their naans are gigantic, almost steering-wheel big, and thick and doughy.
Their reshmi kabobs are just sublime, so spicy and delicious. They make shami and bihari kebabs that are fantastic too. They also offer fried fish, Basa, a river fish from Vietnam that is so tasty when done in a masala batter.
The best part may actually be their desserts, they make a killer kheer, rice pudding with cardamom and a decent gajjar ka halwa.
I keep coming back here all the time, and it's always delicious and fresh. Give it a try if you want great food for great prices. -

Karachi Kitchen is my favourite Pakistani food place! This is as perfect and authentic as it gets. I only wish it was a sitdown place because having to smell the irresistible deliciousness on the way back downtown from Mississauga in the car is just torture.
They have the best Bihari kebab(marinated tender beef cooked on a charcoal flame) I've had in Canada. Amazing Biryani(rice dish with either lamb or chicken) and mouthwatering curries. AND It's cheap to boot! I ordered 2 orders of bihari kebab, 4 naans(hot from a clay oven), and 2 different types of curries( to share ofcourse) and it only came up to $30!! They cater parties as well, and you can call ahead to order for pickup.
If you are serious about your curries and kebabs and don't mind spicy food, this place is the place to go.Listed in: Indian food in the GTA

Yay I am a fan, i used to work near dixie and eglinton, so this place wasn't too far away, there were places closer but this is the best, if you want rice get their chicken biryani, for five bucks or so you'll have the most fun and if you do eat like normal people it's enough to serve three people or so, hehe, if you eat like me one per person. Other things you want to have here is seekh kababs, behari kababs, and reshmi kababs, you definitely do not want to have daal here or vegetables, at desi restaurants for some reason i've never had very good (daal) or vegetable curries. but the 'mystery' meat is amazing.....haha

this place is totally takeout only. I've tried many indian places but this place has something that the other places dont. There's a different flavour with their curries and the biryani is a killer, I think cuz they put a good amount of saffon in their rice
