If there’s one thing Kohshar Grill absolutely nails, it’s the ambiance. From the moment you step in, the cozy, welcoming vibe is impossible to miss. The space is thoughtfully designed, and the prayer room is such a nice touch—it’s peaceful, clean, and earns an 11/10 in my book.
As for the food, it’s… okay. It’s not bad by any means, but it doesn’t quite capture the bold, authentic flavors you’d expect from a Pakistani restaurant. The menu is limited, which might work for some, but the variety left me wanting more.
Here’s what we had: We went for the family platter, which includes 1/2 kg of Chicken Karahi, two Seekh Kebabs, two Malai Boti, four naan, and four drinks. It’s advertised for four people, but honestly, it’s better suited for three. • Chicken Karahi: 2.5/5 – it was just average, lacking the depth of flavor you’d hope for. • Beef Seekh Kebab: 4/5 – flavorful and cooked well. • Chicken Malai Boti: 4/5 – tender and tasty. • Naan: 1.5/5 – this was a letdown. It felt more like an afterthought.
I swapped my drink for a mojito, and we also tried the Shahi Kulfa for dessert. Sadly, neither hit the mark—both were a 1/5.
The service was good, and the staff were attentive and friendly. I’d give it an 8/10 overall. The pricing, though, is on the higher side. It feels like they’re aiming for fine dining prices without delivering that level of food quality.
It’s the kind of place you go for the ambiance, not necessarily the food. It’s perfect if you’re looking to spend quality time in a beautiful setting, and the prayer room is a standout feature that sets it apart. Just don’t expect a culinary adventure. The food has its moments, but at these prices, it leaves you wanting more.
Would I go back? Maybe—for the ambiance and to try a couple of other dishes on the menu. But if authentic flavors and value for money are your top priorities, this might not...
