Finding parking is a little challenging. Food is excellent and pricing is pretty decent. The seating arrangement is a bit tight but to enjoy an excellent cuisine I guess you can squeeze inside the hotel which is air-conditioned or you can sit outside and enjoy the food.

Parking is a task. Else the food is super excellent. Super tasty. Have tried from their Sharjah branch as well. They know the real meaning of karahi. Must visit

Butt Karachi in Dubai is a must-visit for authentic flavors. We loved the chicken karahi with butter/desi ghee and naan, and the chicken biryani was equally delicious. Perfect spot if you’re in Deira!

Been wanting to try this brand of restaurant for a very long time. Pakistan's famous Butt Karahi here in Dubai.... simply awesome, can't describe how well that went down, alhumdulillah. One of a kind.....didn't have any breakfast just to simply appreciate the taste...alhumdulillah

The staff were super friendly and courteous to suggest a few dishes and drinks. Super fresh and totally worth it. After trying many fancy restaurants, I can say their service is just as good. It's quick, and the prices are fair for what you get. Along with the amazing dishes and drinks, the ambiance stood out. It's a bit expensive, but the great quality and comfortable atmosphere make it worth it.

I recently tucked into Butt Karahi’s signature Chicken Karahi cooked in pure desi ghee, and it was nothing short of delightful. The generous layer of aromatic ghee amplified the spices, giving each tender piece of chicken a rich, homestyle depth that felt both indulgent and authentic. Pair that with their Roghni Naan—pillowy-soft, lightly crisped at the edges, and sprinkled with sesame seeds—and you’ve got a match made in foodie heaven. The naan was perfect for scooping up every last bit of that luscious gravy. If you’re craving a hearty, authentic Karahi experience, Butt Karahi’s desi‑ghee version with Roghni Naan absolutely hits the spot.

Ome of the best place to eat delicious food. The staff are also very friendly and also suggested correct quantity of food to chose. The price is worth the taste and quantity with quality.

Butt Karahi in Deira, Dubai, is a good spot if you are craving authentic Lahori-style karahi. The chicken and mutton karahi cooked in desi ghee are rich, flavorful, and close to what you get back in Pakistan. The BBQ platter is also worth trying, with tender, smoky meat and a good spice balance. Food is made fresh, so it usually takes 20 to 30 minutes to arrive, but most people find the wait worth it. The upstairs family area is clean, comfortable, and nicely decorated, although the place can feel a bit cramped when busy. Service is friendly and welcoming, but some customers are surprised to find extra charges for raita, salad, and other small sides. Prices overall are fair for the quality and portion sizes. It’s a lively place with a bit of loud music at times, so if you prefer a quieter meal, it’s best to go earlier in the evening. If you want genuine Pakistani karahi in Dubai, this is definitely a place to visit.
