Gulzaar Halal Restaurant & Catering

Chicken Karahi

Cast-iron wok curry cooked down tight with tomatoes, ginger, and whole spices — more concentrated than a standard curry, meant to be eaten with naan

Chapli Kebab

Flat Afghani-style ground beef patty with coriander seeds and dried pomegranate, griddled crisp at the edges

Seekh Kebab

Spiced ground lamb on skewers, charred at the grill with enough fat to stay juicy through the crust

Biryani

Fragrant long-grain rice layered with spiced meat and sealed to steam — Pakistani-style, drier and more aromatic than South Indian versions

Nihari

Slow-cooked beef shank in deep, peppery broth with ginger and lime on the side — weekend-only, worth timing your visit around

Haleem

Slow-cooked lentil and beef porridge, rich and thick — another weekend special that sells out; shows up as a shared starter or a main

Garlic Naan

Tandoor-baked flatbread with a blister-char on top — essential delivery vehicle for the karahi
