Reviews of Butt Karahi Restaurant & Banquet Hall
from GoogleI was very happy and excited to see a restaurant with the same name as the one I ate at last month in Islamabad. The food was absolutely delicious. The spices were perfectly balanced. Food was fresh and the service was absolutely worthy of five stars. Met the owner as well and he was a gentlemen.
I have organized several events on this location and it’s always fantastic. Owner is very accommodating, he always pays attention what we really want our event to look like. Staff is amazing. Party hall has great capacity. Food packages are really reasonably priced. Staff is very well mannered, and motivated. I would highly recommend this place to organize your special events.
We were there for a wedding. Parking outside was adequate. It was spacious inside. And that's were the good stuff ends. Food was mediocre at best. Customer service was lower than average. Washrooms were a disaster - one out of the three stalls was functional, there were no paper towels and dirty like anything. Definitely not recommended!
We visited Butt Karahi yesterday around 6:30 PM. The restaurant (and banquet hall) is located inside a hotel and was entirely empty when we arrived. We were greeted by a very friendly hostess who politely escorted us to a large, comfortable round table for eight. For dinner, we ordered:1/2 kg Chicken Karahi, Malai Chicken Tikka and Butter Naans. The food was quite tasty and well-balanced; it wasn't overly spicy, which allowed the actual flavors of the dishes to shine through. However, the fresh naans became hard very quickly because they were rolled out so thin. A tip for management: The primary cost of making naan is labor, while flour is incredibly inexpensive. Making the naans just a bit thicker would prevent them from drying out so quickly, keeping them soft and pliable for the duration of the meal. Overall, it was a good experience, highlighted by the delicious food and a very polite, helpful staff member. Not very busy due to its location probably. Rating: 4/5 Stars due to naans. Will I go again? Probably yes, though there are still several other new places to try out in Calgary first.
I recently hosted a few events at Butt Karahi, and I have to say the experience was fantastic! The ambiance is absolutely beautiful, perfect for small weddings or other gatherings. Both the food and service were on point, with an authentic Lahori touch. The Butt Karahi was incredible, bursting with flavor, and the BBQ was just as delicious. There are so many other great options on the menu too! If you're looking for a place that offers a halal authentic Lahore taste, this is the spot. Highly recommend!
There is nothing wrong with a restaurant hosting a private event, but basic business sense and customer courtesy dictate that you update your website and social media beforehand. Customers shouldn't have to waste their time and fuel driving to your establishment only to be turned away at the door. Respect your customers' time, communicate proactively, and show some basic consideration. Good hospitality begins before the customer even walks through the door.
Not super good not, super bad either.
Loved everything, esp cially the butter chicken was so creamy and the garlic naan was very crispy!
Attention needs on clealiness. On pinpointing cleanliness the manager tried to justifiy instead of practical steps. Storage in wash room is un hygenic. Coverning urinals with garbage bags looks ugly. A dine in and event vanue needs attention.Wish them to understand customer needs. They have wonderfull chef and staff but need little more to invest on house keeping.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Butt Karahi for providing us with the beautiful venue for our events. We have been organizing events at this venue for over a year, and we have always been impressed by its aesthetic appeal. Every event we have held there has been a resounding success. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Humza and the staff for their exceptional service. We look forward to work on more successful events in the future.

About Butt Karahi Restaurant & Banquet Hall
Inside a hotel on Sunridge Boulevard NE in Calgary, Butt Karahi is a Lahori karahi restaurant and banquet hall, and its food is prepared from halal meat.
What to order
Karahi is sold by the kilo, and the chicken karahi is a good place to start. Add palak chicken, tandoori naan, raita and chutney, since the portions are big and meant for sharing. One diner found the Malai chicken tikka and butter naans tasty and well balanced, with spice that lets the flavours come through. The naan is rolled thin, so eat it hot from the kitchen.
The room and the hall
It suits a family dinner or a table of friends. The room is spacious, there is parking outside, and the staff are polite and helpful. The banquet hall takes wedding and event bookings, and one host who organized several events there says the venue is handsome and the team is dependable.
