Pakistani cooking runs from slow-cooked nihari and haleem through karahi finished fast over high heat, to biryani, seekh kebab and charcoal-grilled tikka. Bread matters as much as rice: naan, roti and paratha come out of the same kitchens.

Many Pakistani restaurants here are also tagged with the individual dishes they are known for, so a karahi specialist appears both on this page and on the karahi page.

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.

Is every restaurant on this page halal certified?

Not necessarily. Halal information is provided by each restaurant and shown on its individual listing. Halal Food Pass is not a halal certification body, so confirm any requirements that matter to you directly with the restaurant.

What is the Lime Card, and can I use it at Halal Pakistani 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 no active Lime Card offers for Pakistani food right now.

How is this halal Pakistani 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.
