⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Had a great experience at Karahi Boys on Preston, Ottawa! The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and the service was excellent. The restaurant is clean, comfortable, and has a really nice atmosphere for dining in. A great place to visit with family or friends. Definitely worth a visit and I’d be happy to come back again!

First time visiting. We arrived as soon as the restaurant opened on a weekday. Shout out to Aziz, thank you for menu suggestions. Waited for order around 25-30 minutes but it was worth it! Chicken Karahi wow! Plus Family size Naan with butter. The beef kebab was tender and juicy, served on a hot plate. Definitely will suggest to go place for my friends and colleagues. A bit pricey though. Thank you!

Definitely a place to visit. First all our server was Christine or Kirsten and she was amazing. She was enthusiastic and geez she bought back old memories of how restaurant experience used to be. Where the server was friendly and helping you out with choices and checking up on you several times. Indians working at desi restaurants have ruined this experience time and time again, where they serve order in great lags and their demeanor is as such they are doing you a favor by serving you. Our server here was nothing like that and this alone is a reason for a comeback. We ordered 1 - Halwa puree - halwa was ok. Purees were good. Aloo sabzi was nice, they should be cut in smaller pieces for a better experience. Lahoree channa tasted good but too much soda made them way dark. Lahoree chana are dark golden in color. 2 - Nehari was nice. It was a bit tangy. Traditional nehari has a thick consistency of a soup which this lacked, it had 'raisha' as if its a salan. 3 - Keema was really good. 4 - naan was good, too much yeast and the naan didn't rise as it should have. 5 - Lacha paratha was awesome. 6 - Karak Chai was amazing. It was doodh patti yummmmmm. Overall a great dining experience. The area was clean and decor was classy. Washrooms weren't cleaned properly given we went their early in the morning. I highly recommend you eating at this establishment.

Came by for dinner, the location is great, inside it fairly spacious. they can accommodate large gatherings. It also appears that they may have an outdoor patio in the summer. Underground Parking is available, bring your parking ticket and they will validate it which is a plus for this area. There were plenty of parking spaces, a short walk to the restaurant if you park near tower III- 347 Preston street elevators. They have a list of mocktails like mango mojitos, mango lassi etc. We tried the potohari goat. I have never even heard of this but this was absolutely delicious. Some of their dishes are spicy but this had the perfect level of spice. Paired with a fresh naan and raita. For appetizer, we had the Lahori fish which was seasoned well, crispy on the outside and soft inside. We also had malai boti, served on a sizzler on a bed of onions. This was mind in spice. The karak chai was a great way to end the night. The service was a hit and miss, they were attentive when at the table but otherwise we had to attempt to grab their attention from across the restaurant several times for forgotten items. Overall, will definitely be back to try other items on the menu especially the breakfast.
