Chillies
A casual, welcoming spot on 17th Avenue SE specialising in Karachi-style nihari and haleem - two slow-cooked Pakistani dishes built around long braising times. Halal meat is used throughout as standard Pakistani restaurant practice, without a separately listed certifying body. Call ahead for the nihari Nihari is traditionally an evening dish, so it is worth phoning if you are planning an early visit specifically for it. Reviewers are emphatic about it - one calls it the most delicious nihari in Calgary outright - and the biryani also stands out. Good to know Bold, spicy Karachi flavours - reviewers describe it that way approvingly, so calibrate if you prefer things mild. Inexpensive, at the $ band, good for children and groups, reservations accepted. Brunch through dessert served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery. 4.3 from close to 800 Google reviews.
