Nestled in the heart of Lygon Street, Butt Karahi & BBQ brings the rich, smoky flavours of Pakistan straight to your table. From our signature sizzling Karahi, simmered to perfection with hand-ground spices, to our charcoal-grilled BBQ fresh off the flame, every dish tells a story of tradition, passion, and authentic taste.
Butt Karahi & BBQ was born from a simple idea: that the boldest flavours of Pakistan deserve a home on Lygon Street. What started as a family recipe, passed down through generations, has grown into a kitchen built on the same principles — fresh ingredients, hand-ground spices, and dishes cooked the slow, traditional way.
Every karahi we serve is made to order, simmered in small batches so the spices have time to bloom and the meat stays tender. Our BBQ is grilled over open charcoal, the way it’s always been done back home, giving every skewer that signature smoky char.
We’re not just serving food — we’re sharing a piece of home with everyone who walks through our doors. Whether you grew up on these flavours or you’re trying them for the first time, our goal is the same: to make you feel like family, one plate at a time.
