    “We ordered chicken dum biryani, mutton keema naan, sarson ka saag and makai ki roti, mango Lassi and gajar ka halwa. With the first bite of every food it was known that it is called kulcha KING for a reason. It was simply amazing. However we did have few things mentioned to our server as a feedback. For e.g putting butter on saag, when serving. Makai ki roti was average and it can be better. Chicken dum biryani was mouth watering. We didn't enjoy Mango Lassi as it was not that great. They add yoghurt in it which made it super thick. Gajar ka halwa was also good bit if they can use gajar from india/Pakistan it be better.”

Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 4
1

Try kulcha. For a first order, consider a stuffed kulcha such as chicken tikka or aloo; reviews repeatedly identify it as the restaurant’s speciality.

2

Check spice. Tell the server clearly how much heat you want and check the dish when it arrives, since one less-spicy request was reportedly missed.

The Bottom Line

Kulcha King Al Karama focuses on North Indian comfort food, with stuffed kulcha at the centre of the menu. First-time diners can choose from chicken tikka kulcha, aloo kulcha, chicken tikka biryani and chole bhature. Reviews describe the kulchas as fresh, crisp and generously filled, while the chicken tikka biryani is praised for tender chicken and well-cooked rice.

The dining room is on the smaller side but comfortable; one review estimates seating for around 20–30 guests, and another mentions tables across two floors. Service is often described as warm, quick and helpful, with staff explaining the menu and suggesting dishes. Families also report a smooth visit, including when dining with children.

Takeaway packaging has been called particularly neat. There are a few practical cautions. Food quality is not perfectly consistent: one diner found the biryani insufficiently fresh, and a separate branch review reported stale, burnt-tasting tandoori chicken.

Spice levels may also need clarification, as a request for less-spicy biryani was reportedly missed. Mango lassi has mixed feedback. If an app discount influenced your choice, verify the offer before ordering and payment; multiple reviews describe problems redeeming advertised deals.
