Karak Café

Absolutely delicious! This place is a hidden gem, we’ve been passing by for months and finally decided to give it a chance. The grilled chicken tandoori sandwich completely blew us away. I highly recommend pairing it with the Pakola cream soda which has subtle floral notes similar to rosewater, and complements the sandwich so well! Not only is the food spectacular, but the prices are also very reasonable and the service was great. We can’t wait to come back and try more from the menu!

We recently visited this restaurant. The owners are very warm and welcoming. The restaurant space is neat and clean. We tried their regular and rabdi falooda and they were delicious and brought back memories of Karachi! They also had free chess game for customers to enjoy which was a nice surprise. We will definitely return to try other food items on their menu!

9/28/25 update: I wanted to revisit this place since I had a very positive initial experience. This time I got the karak cheesesteak and grilled tandoori chicken sandwich. I also got a mango refresher. -karak cheesesteak 5 - it is so difficult trying to find a good place that makes cheesesteaks. The one by me skimps on the meat. However, here as in the picture, you can see they were very generous with the meat. The meat was very tender and flavorful. I like that they put their own spin on the sandwich with their spices. Not spicy. -grilled tandoori chicken sandwich 5 - I gobbled this up within minutes. The chicken was very succulent. The spices and the sauce made it very tasty. -mango refresher 5 - very refreshing drink. Good size cup. ————————————————————- I would say this is like an Indian cafe. It’s different from the other Muslim and Yemeni cafes I’ve been to. This is kind of a short introduction to Indian cuisine if you’ve never experienced it before. When we walked in, there was a white couple that talked to the owner like they never had Indian food before. They do have coffee, teas, refreshers, as well as sandwiches that Americans are used to. However, they have more Indian food/drinks like the lassi’s, roti rolls, chaats, etc. We ordered bun kabab, beef kofte roll, samosa chaat, bun pistachio & Nutella, mango lassi, and rabdi falooda. Prices were fair. Good size portions. 7-8 tables. It’s still kind of unknown so it doesn’t get super busy. Shared parking lot. The owners were very friendly and helpful. Overall 4.5. -bun kabab 5 - patty was cooked medium rare. The red and green chutneys give your taste buds that extra kick. I would say it’s mildly spicy. Highly recommended. Also French fries are very crispy, not soggy or tasteless. -beef kofte roll 4 - this is like a beef wrap. It’s good but I think more sauce can bring out the flavors more. -samosa chaat 5 -bun pistachio & Nutella 5 - the bun is soft and there is more bread to even out the sweetness of the pistachio and Nutella combo. -mango lassi 5 - just get this drink. You won’t regret it. It’s very smooth and creamy. -rabdi falooda 5 - traditional Indian dessert. It has jellies, falooda noodles, rose syrup, sabja seeds, rabdi, ice cream, whipped cream, rose petals, etc. It’s neither sweet nor salty. It has a good balance.
