Quick info
About Shah Karahi Halal
Shah Karahi Halal is a Pakistani restaurant on Lower Addiscombe Road in Croydon, set in a straightforward curry house format. The kitchen focuses on authentic Pakistani flavours, and nihari is the recommended dish for anyone deciding what to order. Diners commonly pair mains with freshly made roti or hot crispy naan, and a lamb curry with rice is a typical plate. Portions run big and generous, often enough to stretch across several meals at home. Orders are placed at the counter, and the format suits walk-ins throughout the day.

“I’ve just moved into the neighbourhood and the first place I spotted was this curry house! I had my first meal in my new home and I was blown away with how delicious and authentic it was. I got a lamb curry with rice and freshly made Roti. Needless to say I WILL BE BACK!! You don’t have to think twice before ordering from here. Also, the owner was very friendly and chatty when I walked in and welcomed me to the neighbourhood, I felt very at home! Thank you so much for the hospitality and lovely food.”

“Very good service, I ordered food from here yesterday , the quantity was enough, Staff was considerate enough to inform me if they have something missing in the stalk and asked me to change the dish. The guy I spoke to on call was very cooperative. Thanks”
