Our signature Charsi Tikka Goat Karahi is slow-cooked bone-in goat simmered in a rich, tomato-forward gravy with minimal but bold Pashtun spices, prepared in the traditional wok-style karahi pan over high heat. It's the dish Shinwari Karahi is named for — tender, meaty, and made for sharing.
Shinwari-style karahi originates with the Shinwari tribe of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region, where meat is cooked in a wok-like karahi pan over high heat with just tomatoes, ginger, garlic, and a handful of spices — letting the quality of the meat shine through. At Shinwari Karahi, we bring that same tradition to Castleridge, slow-cooking bone-in goat until it's fall-off-the-bone tender in a rich, glossy gravy.
Every karahi is prepared fresh to order and served sizzling hot in the traditional karahi pan, garnished with fresh ginger, green chilies, and cilantro. It's a family-size portion meant for sharing at the table with fresh Afghani naan.
Family Group
"One of the best Shinwari/Pakistani spots in northeast Calgary. The goat and lamb karahi are packed with flavour, the meat is tender and the spices are authentic without being overwhelmingly hot. Portion sizes are large enough for families and prices are reasonable for the quantity of food."
Karahi Lover
"The signature Shinwari karahi is perfectly cooked, with a rich, meaty gravy and well-balanced spices. It arrives sizzling hot and is ideal for sharing. This is our go-to place in Castleridge for authentic Pashtun-style karahi."
First-Time Visitor
"Impressed by the cleanliness, portion sizes and taste of the food, especially the chicken karahi and fresh naan. Great value for money — two dishes easily fed our group. We'll definitely be back to try the nihari and kebabs."
