Karachi Cuisine

The excellent mocktail menu at Karachi Cuisine is the first indicator that the Norbury restaurant is somewhere to come for a good time. The second is the suited server who won’t bat an eyelid when you go for an electric blue drink. The spacious dining room, with purple overhead lighting and bright red booths, is primed for locals celebrating any and every special occasion over a round of paani poori. Although Karachi Cuisine serves dishes found all over Pakistan and North India, its namesake city, Karachi, has a big influence on the menu. Bun kebab is a must-order— the patty, sandwiched with omelette and salad in a bun, is super soft and spiced. Get maghaz karahi to scoop with kulcha naan too—the tender lamb brain is fried beautifully with ginger and chilli. It’s hard to go wrong whatever you’re in the mood for, especially accompanied with another sweet, blue curaçao-inspired mocktail.
