Food: Authentic In Its Presentation
If you want an authentic desi dining experience, look no further than Bumbai Koyla Karahi.
Bumbai Koyla Karahi’s White Chicken Handi was a fantastic dish that left my taste buds wanting more. The cream was cooked beautifully in a rich tomato gravy and garnished with fresh cilantro leaves. It’s the perfect hearty meal for any occasion!
The Shahi Karahi at Bumbai is an absolute die-for! The chicken is extremely juicy and is a real treat for the taste buds. The Tandoori Parathas add to the taste and texture of this amazing Karahi – authentic flavor every time.
Price: Plentiful Servings

I went with my brother. Our cumulative order was:
- White Chicken Handi (Half): PKR 1000
- Shahi Karahi (Half): PKR 900
- Tandoori Paratha (4): PKR 80
The price was reasonable and the food was really good. Even the quantity was generous. We had to pack up some of the leftovers for later.
Service: Nothing Worthwhile
The service was okay. It took a little while for our food to come out. The servers were polite and attentive, but the rest was nothing to brag about.
Ambiance: Mostly Male
The ambiance was nice, clean, and well-lit. However, it is not the ideal place to visit with families. You should go with friends, preferably male.
Honorable Mentions: A Great Dish
Wanna try something else?! Try Bumbai Koyla Karahi’s Seekh Kabab.
It is a dish that is truly fit for a king. The beef is melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the spices used in the marinade give it a truly complex flavor and perfectly balanced flavor. The kababs are grilled to perfection, and the yogurt sauce adds a lovely depth of flavor.
I cannot recommend this dish enough!
Final Verdict:
If you’re looking for a fantastic Pakistani dining experience, look no further than Bumbai Koyla Karahi. The food is absolutely amazing, and the prices are very reasonable. The ambiance is hot and happening, making it great for meals with friends.
