Highly recommended. One of the best tasting meat karahi in Lahore. You can get the meat of your choice and have it cooked in either ghee or the fat of fat-tailed sheep( dumba. If you are a mutton lover then that's the place for you to visit. You can select the mutton and ask them to make fresh for you but it will take almost 90 minutes but the wait is worth the taste. The taste is really amazing the quantity is fine but the service and the ambiance can be improved as it's not clean and the floor was dirty. Other then that the food is really delicious and a heaven for mutton lovers
One of the best restaurant in Pakistan in term of taste. But little bit expensive Service needs to be improved. But food taste was just awesome. Loved meat. Dumba shinwari karahi Recommended to try once.Amazing place to gave lamb meat dishes.Tried their Lamb BBQ and Lamb Karahi. Taste was delicious as always. This is my go to place whenever I visit Lahore. The original branch is inside the street not on the main road. Mainroad one claims to be the authentic one but is fake!
Ilyas’s Dunba Karahi is fantastic more tasty when this Karahi is mixed with Qeema its super tatsy. They are best for Dunba Karahi among others, they have no competition BUT their Rates are much higher 3000+ per KG. Expensive. Additionally, Qahwa قہوہ after dinner is a must try, give it a try you will love it. Multiple sitting options open air, rooftop and family halls as well. Karahi takes normally between 1-2 hours to ready.
Ilyaas dumba never disappoints! Whenever we go there, we always order three dishes: dumba karahi, BBQ chops and keema 👌. Their lamb keema is highly recommended. Not recommended for families but highly recommended for gatherings with friends.
Good experience here Very good in taste Atmosphere is just normal Known for good taste (dumba karahi)
My brother talks highly about this place about the taste and quality of the food. Visited the place with the whole family and found his observations true to the last dot. We ordered mutton chops and Dumba Karahi...both were amazing. I highly recommend this place. When I visit Lahore again, this place is now on my MUST visit place.
