Our Story
Bringing the authentic flavors of Pakistani and Indian BBQ and Karahi cuisine to Hamilton and Ancaster
Order OnlineLakshmi Chowk BBQ & Karahi House was born from a passion for authentic Pakistani and Indian cuisine and a desire to share the rich culinary traditions of our heritage with the Hamilton community. Our name pays homage to the vibrant food culture of Pakistan and India, where street-side karahis and tandoor grills create unforgettable flavors.
Every recipe we serve has been carefully crafted and refined over generations. From our signature karahis cooked in traditional woks to our perfectly grilled BBQ items, each dish represents our commitment to authenticity and quality. We believe that great food brings people together, and our restaurant is a place where families and friends can gather to enjoy memorable meals.
Our chefs bring decades of experience in traditional Pakistani and Indian cooking techniques. We use halal meats, fresh vegetables, and authentic spices imported directly from the region. Everything is prepared fresh to order, ensuring that every bite delivers the bold, complex flavors that Pakistani and Indian cuisine is known for.
At Lakshmi Chowk, we're more than just a restaurant: we're a community gathering place where the warmth of our hospitality matches the richness of our food. Whether you're joining us for a family dinner, a special celebration, or a quick lunch, we're committed to making your experience exceptional.

Lakshmi Chowk BBQ & Karahi House started with a simple idea: to share the Pakistani and Indian food we grew up with, cooked the way our families taught us, with our neighbours in Hamilton.
The name comes from Lakshmi Chowk, the famous food street in Lahore, where karahis sizzle at the roadside and tandoor grills run late into the night. That street is the spirit we try to bring to every plate, from Lahori-style chicken karahi to smoky seekh kabab.
Our recipes have been refined over generations, and our chefs bring decades of experience to the kitchen. We cook with halal meats, fresh vegetables and spices brought in from the region, and every dish is made fresh when you order it.
Our original restaurant on Barton Street East, which Google lists as women-owned, has become a gathering place for families and friends, and our second location on Wilson Street West in Ancaster carries the same cooking forward with a weekend buffet (Saturday and Sunday) and a few more authentic dishes.
