    10/10 for their delecious QORMA! Just need more awesomeness in Biryani, specially in the beef one. Rest service is good.

    Nice tasty karhai and malai/ afghani boti. However, limited choice from a very large menu. Good peaceful atmosphere at Gulshan chapter (I don't know if there are branches in the city. Reasonable cost for good quantity

    Simply amazing, good taste, great quality, amazing quantity at the most reasonable price. The staff is so cooperative. Improvement is required for the atmosphere but overall it is the best economical place for dinner in these situations where inflation is going high and high. A thumbs up to the Al haaj Akhtar management 👍

    Service is very slow... They take more than half hour for Tikka.. Taste of the food is below average

  • 3/5 Rakhshanda S. 10 months ago on Google • 69 reviews
    Its an average place to dine pakistani cuisine. The food is average but desert is awesome in taste.

  • 3/5 Zarrar A. 6 months ago on Google • 63 reviews
    Their menu getting expensive every month. Quantity is also reduced as compared to few months back. Never order Qorma, Karhai or any gravy, it is floating in oil. Most of the times, biryani and pulao includes baasi (rotten) rice's from previous day or some wedding party the previous night. BBQ will take an hour and it is extra spicy everytime.

  • 1/5 Haxxon G. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ve ordered fish fried, cheese naan, mutton karahi, mashrroom rice, last week, reallt disappointed, not upto the level all meat items are tasted so old and not fresh, fish is overcooked, you guys drastically pull down your quality and quantity, no cheese in cheese naan, only white karahi a little bit better but the quantity was normal.👎👎👎

  • 3/5 Aphzaal A. 10 months ago on Google
    This branch of the restaurant is fine but the taste is not like the main branch, especially TURKISH KABAB much lesser and the ingredients such as Char-Maghaz in kababs were un-comprehended, but cost charged the same.

  • 4/5 Syed Haq N. 11 months ago on Google
    Food quality and taste is very good. Sitting area is both, indoor and open air. Table, chairs and crockery are good and clean. Service is though slow but cost of food is very reasonable.

  • 3/5 Tas P. 1 year ago on Google
    Their food quality has been lowered since we ate there last. Will think twice next time.

  • 2/5 Aisha S. 9 months ago on Google
    Food was just OK but the service was pathetic. We waited for approx 1 hour just for biryani. They had fairly large number of waiters but non of them wanted to attend any customer. They weren't even apologetic for their service. Proudly told us "ye to roz hota hai".

  • 5/5 Muhammed Khurram K. 1 year ago on Google
    The menu is not too long but whatever food they offer is absolutely outstanding. I have been visiting them for years for both biryani and qorma and undoubtedly the taste stayed as great as it was the first time. It's located in the corner plot near disco bakery and offers cool, breezy outdoor sitting. Overall one of the best food outlets in Karachi as it is economical too.

    I have been to Al-Haaj Akhtar few times before and their food quality has been worsening. But last night was the worst experience I have ever had. We ordered brain masala and karahi. Some 15 minutes later, the waiter told us they ran out of brain, so we ordered bihari kabab. When the food arrived, we found the karahi extremely oily and bihari kababs were raw. The waiter took the raw pieces back and when he returned, the kababs were overcooked. Later, he replaced overcooked bihari kabab pieces with chicken boti. Almost more than half of bihari kabab order was returned but they still charged us for bihari kabab. Overall, our experience was totally bad and we will never go there again 😡.

    I ordered biryani chicken and beef. Chicken Biryani had broken rice and beef biryani was not properly cooked. The two were also not enough hot. Very bad experience. Absolutely not recommend.

  • 1/5 Waleed S. 1 year ago on Google
    I recently visited Al-Haaj Akhtar and had a terrible experience. The food was not as ordered, the service was terrible, and the staff was dishonest. Upon arriving at the restaurant, I placed an order for three dishes, but after waiting for 10 minutes, the server informed me that they had run out of meat for one of the dishes. This was very disappointing as it was a dish that I was particularly looking forward to trying. The second dish was also not cooked properly, it was undercooked, and inedible. I brought this to the attention of the server, but they seemed uninterested in resolving the issue. Instead of offering to cook the dish properly or offering any compensation, they gave me another dish without even consulting with me. I found out later that the dish they gave me cost less than the dish I originally ordered, but they charged me for the dish that was higher. This was very dishonest and it made me feel like I was being taken advantage of. Also it was very poor handling of the situation, and it made me feel like my concerns were not being taken seriously. Furthermore, the staff was very unaccommodating. They seemed to be bothered by my complaints and seemed to have no interest in providing good service. The attitude of the staff was unprofessional and made me feel uncomfortable. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone due to the poor food, terrible service, and dishonest staff. It was a complete waste of time and money. It was a very unpleasant experience and I will not be returning to this restaurant.

  • 3/5 Fahad Ahmed S. 1 year ago on Google
    Taste of beef biryani was bot really that great. Plus amount of beef in double plate was not sufficient. So so experience. And biryani served was cold too. When complained, they simply served after warming itbthrough microwave...
