About Riwayat Restaurant

Riwayat cooks uncompromising Pakistani comfort food in Belmont, anchored by fiery regional karahis and tandoor flatbreads the size of dinner plates. Desi food devotees track down the kitchen for its rich Butt mutton karahi and Karachi-style dum biryani made with hand-slaughtered chicken. Tables fill up quickly with large family gatherings digging into tender reshmi kebabs and buttery naans speckled with sesame. Dedicated rear parking eases the stopover right off the road. The meal finishes over cups of hot spiced chai.

  • Regional Karahis: Simmered in traditional regional styles, including Lahore-style chicken and Butt mutton karahi.
  • Oversized Naan: Stretched to dinner-plate proportions, brushed with butter, or baked with sesame seeds straight from the tandoor.
  • Family Feasts: Spacious seating easily accommodates large family dinners, birthday celebrations, and crowded iftar spreads.
