Karahi is named after the pan: a deep, round, two-handled wok. Meat is cooked fast over a high flame with tomato, ginger, green chilli and little else, so the sauce is reduced and clings rather than pooling.

It is normally ordered by weight for the table and eaten with naan, and chicken, mutton and beef versions all appear.

Halal Karahi on Halal Food Pass currently spans 100 restaurants across 26 cities in 6 provinces. City pages: Mississauga (28) · Calgary (13) · Brampton (8) · Edmonton (6) · Scarborough (4) · Surrey (4) · Vaughan (4) · Ajax (3) · Cambridge (3) · Pickering (3).

Every listing on this page carries the restaurant's opening hours, its address and neighbourhood, the cuisines it serves and the halal information the restaurant itself provides. Opening hours are re-checked automatically, so a listing shows whether the restaurant is open at this moment rather than what it published months ago.

Halal information is always the restaurant's own declaration; here is exactly what that means. Spot a place we're missing? Nominate it.

What is the Lime Card, and can I use it at Halal Karahi restaurants?

The Lime Card is the Halal Food Pass dining membership, and it is optional. Members show their digital card before paying at a participating restaurant, and the offer shown on that restaurant's listing is applied on that restaurant's own days, times and conditions. Whether a restaurant participates is its own choice and has no effect on whether it is listed here or where it appears in this directory. There are currently 2 Karahi restaurants with active Lime Card offers.

How is this halal karahi list kept up to date?

Listings are curated rather than bulk-scraped, and every live listing is re-checked automatically about once a week: opening hours, open/closed status and contact details. A restaurant reported permanently closed is removed automatically, and anyone can nominate a spot that's missing.
