Our Story

A Taste of Pakistan,
Right Here in SF

Karahi House was born from a simple belief: the best food doesn't need pretense. It needs good ingredients, the right spices, and the patience to let flavors develop the way they always have.

Our kitchen follows the methods our family has used for generations — hand-kneading dough, grinding spices, and slow-cooking curries in traditional karahi vessels over open flame. Nothing is rushed. Everything is made from scratch.

Now we bring that same warmth and honesty to every plate we serve on Polk Street. Whether you're joining us for a quick lunch or a relaxed family dinner, we want you to taste the care in every bite.

House Specials

What Makes Us Different

These are the dishes our regulars come back for — the ones that define what Karahi House is all about.

Charcoal Tandoor

Our clay oven runs on charcoal, not gas. That's what gives our tandoori dishes their signature smoky flavor — the real deal, not an approximation.

Family Recipes

Every spice blend, every marination ratio, every cooking time — these are recipes we've refined over years, not shortcuts we picked up along the way.

Made for Sharing

Our portions are generous by design. Karahi is meant to be shared — pile on some naan, pass the raita, and make a meal out of it.
