    This restaurant started from Rashid Minhas Road and later extended to Super Highway by late Haji Hussain in order to cater big audience. They know how to make meat in meat taste, Barbecue and Shanwari dishes are their expertise. Whenever we go they offered us unique dishes like #Mandi, #Landi (lamb meat with skin) and Zatoon Karahi. In terms of price they are bit on higher side but value of money.

    Tried their Mutton Zaiton Karahi, Paneer Reshmi Handi, Chicken Kabuli Pulao & Afghani Boti. Every dish was full of taste, meat was tender especially Mutton Zaiton Karahi was extremely delicious. Must recommended

    Its a meat-lovers Paradise. Everything is made to perfection. There wasn’t a single item on the menu that we did not like. Items recommended: Mutton Ribs, Mutton Karahi, Chapli kabab, Sajji, Katakat. Everything served with Garam Roghni Naan, just hits the spot. Don’t forget to order the mint and cucumber margaritas. They have an indoor and outdoor parking space. Ambiance: 8/10 Food: 10/10 Location: 9/10 Service: 9/10 Price: 8.5/10 Overall experience: 9/10

    We went there late at night for dinner. The staff was very cooperative and helpful. We tried kabuli pulao, karahi and parathas. They served fresh and tasty food. There was a play area for kids, the place was cosy and beautiful. We had a good time.

    Mutton Dumpukht, You need to order it a day before you go. It is worth the wait and is enough for 10 people who eat like animals and 15 if you eat like actual humans. meat is juicy and soft with outer layer of crispy fat, you need to learn to cut it open because it is literally whole mutton but it is all worth it. very tasty and very different. Recommended! PS: It is not spicy.

    Faarigh tareen Karahi... Faarigh tareen Chaanpen... And extremely poor service. We waited atleast 1 hours just for a bottle of water despite having too many staff. Only singaporean rice was little better, And Afghani boti was average. Environment: only good look from out side and extremely dirty from inside. It was like they have never cleaned it. Yes but when we complaint so two staff came and they somehow manage to clean it.

    Bestest place for food lovers taste is amazing but the dine area is open and have blue sky without roof mosquito presents due to greenery and the sitting place are not too comfortable it's firm and solid floor base and cushions are also hard feel uncomfortable to sit. Need improvement for sitting area over all too busy place, here you wait approx an hour for food after placing order. The staff also rushy busy all the time very difficult to call a waiters for anything. Regid management return and exchange option not available here when you ordered once you can't amend or change it. It's Very popular place amoung Muslim prechers most of the community here are molvi hazrat. Overall youngsters turn here is low. Family hall also the same as described above curtains not available here. It's just like Quetta hotels of local area. Price range as per market same as others like kababjee etc

    Good taste, average good service, good atmosphere but overpriced. They don't serve economical meals like chicken rolls etc. Just Karhai etc to empty your pockets as much as they can.

    We had an occasional dinner of office colleagues and we had so much fun with a mouth-watering taste of their regular chicken karahi with roghani nan. The best part was sitting over the spacious artificial grass area.

    Great experience One of the best Dum Pukht (salim bakra) I've ever had. and "Laham Mandi" at Shinwari grill, its an Iraqi dish but mostly uses in Arab world, its Bar B Qued Lamb with rice. Must taste it. Best atmosphere for quickie meal... Too much congested but service and food taste good

  • 5/5 Muhammad u. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best place to eat karahi. Both the buttery karahi and regular karahi were very tasty. The naan was so soft and delicious it complimented the taste of karahi. In iftar they serve the regular fruits and some pakoras with a jug of rooh afza. Overall, the ambiance is great as its open air restaurant so you can enjoy the soothing evening time of Karachi. This restaurant has ample parking space along with separate family section.

    This was the 2nd visit to Shaheen Shinwari highway. Ordered 1. Mutton Karhai 2. Garlic Naan 3. Beef Namkeen boti For fresh cut meat it took almost 90mins but the whole wait was worth it. On our 1st visit last week the menu was, 1. Chicken karhai 2. Malai boti 3. Behari boti 4. Kabuli pulao Etc etc..... So collectively, it is the best option in terms of food as in both visits all the items were so yummy and i haven't forgotten the taste. I don't know why I didn't try this branch before. I am again in love with Shaheen Shinwari and i recommend you to wait for 1.5 hours when they tell you :).

  • 3/5 Aamir A. 4 months ago on Google
    It was just an average experience going there because didn't like the seating arrangement at all. And prices were high according to their ambiance, they should have do it better and we have other options as well in the same price at highway. Loved their chapli kabab on top. Mutton karahi was good. Chicken paneer handi was worst. Malai boti was okay and bihari boti was good. Quantity was good but quality was okay . Chai was awesome.

  • 3/5 Sohail B. 2 years ago on Google
    Every place you go to dine should have 5 things better then the place you don't pick. 1. Quality of food. 2. Serving of food. 3. Pleasent environment. 4. Value for money. 5. Type of crowd. I could not taste food as it was over crowded and people were in a long queue of wait. I could see parking area was even not having any space. The guy suggested me told they have good food. But i guess you should have better fate to taste the good food.

    It is very good place for taste lovers with lesser spices. The ambience was simple, good and less congested. In peak hours you may have to wait and also there can be parking problem but the taste of the place worth it. Play area for children is charged separately which should be free like many other restaurants on the same belt.

    Zabardast place for dine in. It opens at 0700 pm. Food, service everything is excellent but rates are too high but sometimes it looks good with family. Huge car parking. Excellent place and strongly recommended.

  • 4/5 Saad H. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was good but rates were little unconvincing as were charged boneless mutton karahi rate of 3600 but on half kg were given 400gm. All other items were good. Fish 1kg fingers were served cold with only on little dip. Still taste was all good.

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Shaheen Shinwari on the M9 highway in Karachi, and it was a delightful experience from start to finish. The restaurant's ambiance is inviting, with a blend of traditional and modern decor. The star of the show was undoubtedly the food. Shaheen Shinwari offers a diverse menu with a focus on Afghan and Pakistani cuisine. The flavors were authentic, and the dishes were prepared with precision. I highly recommend trying their signature Shinwari karahi and Mint lemonade in drinks – they were nothing short of amazing. The staff was attentive and friendly, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. The service was prompt, and the recommendations provided by the waitstaff were spot-on. The location is convenient for travelers on the M9 highway, making it an excellent pitstop for a satisfying meal. Whether you're a local or just passing through, Shaheen Shinwari is a culinary gem that shouldn't be missed. I'll definitely be returning for more culinary delights on my next journey. Note: Ratings are subjective and based on personal experience.

  • 5/5 Sohail H. 5 months ago on Google
    I arrived here for dinner last Saturday with my family. We thoroughly enjoyed the dishes, such as the special Chicken Karahi, Chicken Makhni, Chapli Kabab, and Kata kata. After that, we indulged in some delicious ice cream; everything was exceptionally tasty. The service provided was commendable, and we didn't encounter any parking issues. This place is truly excellent for dinner. The ambiance and security are both remarkable. The food is not only good but also reasonably priced compared to other restaurants.

  • 3/5 Madiha S. 4 months ago on Google
    Overall the experience was fine. We ordered two soups chicken corn and hot and sour. H&S was full of ketchup so had to ask them to replace it and they replaced it, the new one was better but not as expected. Further karahai was good. Order handi which was totally tasteless. Had to ask waiter to try yourself and he again took it and brought it back with some changes but again wasn't really good. For price it is overpriced. Paan cost 90 rs and it was so small. Fries 350 and quantity wasn't good .
