Kebab and Karahi is a Pakistani eatery at Makansutra Gluttons Bay, serving authentic Pakistani cuisine along the Singapore waterfront. The stall specialises in two cornerstones of Pakistani cooking: kebabs and karahi dishes. The kebabs are grilled over open flames, producing a smoky char and juicy interior, while the karahi dishes are cooked in the traditional wok-like vessel, yielding rich, tomato-based curries with robust spice profiles. The menu draws from the culinary traditions of Pakistan's Punjab region, known for its bold flavours and generous use of aromatic spices. Located at the vibrant Gluttons Bay hawker centre near the Esplanade, the stall offers an al fresco dining experience with views of Marina Bay. The setting is casual and convivial, typical of Makansutra's open-air food centres. Kebab and Karahi provides a welcome departure from the predominantly Chinese, Malay, and Indian hawker fare found elsewhere, filling a niche for authentic Pakistani flavours at affordable prices.Operating Hours

Went with a friend and we ordered the mutton shinwari and garlic naan (as can see from the attached picture, we also ordered the neighbouring stall's grilled sambal fish). …

Beef kebab runs out quickly. We had malai chicken and tikka chicken. …

The food taste is amazing. We tried the chicken tikka quarter with Butter Naan. Must try. Brilliant if you're looking for Indian/Mughlai cuisine in Singapore. Mr. Gagan was extremely hospitable and helpful.
