I could already smell the spices in the air as I stepped into Mehfil Karahi & Kabab, my stomach grumbling in anticipation. It was my first time experiencing their famous Iftar buffet, and my cousin, Zaid, was already grinning ear to ear.
“You’re going to love this,” he said, adjusting his kurta. “This place reminds me of the Iftars we had back home—just wait until you taste the biryani.”
For $26.99, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Would it be just a few basic dishes, or was I about to experience a true Ramadan feast? The next 90 minutes would answer that question in the most delicious way possible.
The Moment the Iftar Begins
As Maghrib approached, the energy in the restaurant shifted. Families gathered around their tables, whispering duas, their hands hovering over dates and glasses of Rooh Afza.
The adhan played softly in the background, and just like that—the fast was broken.
“Bismillah,” Zaid said as he handed me a soft Medjool date. The first bite was a rush of sweetness, warmth, and relief. But this was just the beginning.
A Feast Worth Every Penny
I had assumed the buffet would start small—maybe a few samosas, some fruit chaat. I was wrong.
The appetizer section alone was enough to make my stomach do a happy dance.
- Samosas, golden and crisp, stuffed with spiced potatoes.
- Pani puri, the crackling shells waiting to be dunked in tangy tamarind water.
- Chana chaat, bursting with spices, yogurt, and crunchy papri.
- Dahi phulki, soft lentil dumplings soaking in cool, creamy yogurt.
“This is how Iftar should be,” Zaid said between bites. “Remember how Ammi used to make chana chaat for us as kids? This tastes exactly like hers.”
I smiled. This wasn’t just food—it was nostalgia on a plate.
More Food Than You Can Imagine
By the time we made it to the main course section, I realized something: $26.99 was a bargain.
The buffet wasn’t just about quantity—it was about quality. Each dish had that home-cooked authenticity that’s hard to find in restaurant buffets.
I filled my plate with:
- Chicken Biryani – The kind that’s rich, fragrant, and layered with perfectly spiced chicken.
- Mutton Biryani – Slow-cooked, tender, and packed with flavor.
- Chicken Seekh Kababs – Juicy, smoky, and fresh off the grill.
- Tikka Masala – Thick, creamy, and spiced just right.
- Naan – Fresh, hot, and pillowy, straight from the tandoor.
“This biryani is exactly how they make it in Karachi,” Zaid said, taking a bite and closing his eyes. “I swear, one bite and I’m back at Dadi’s dinner table.”
The Sweetest Ending
After two plates of food and a mini food coma, we couldn’t leave without dessert.
- Kheer – Creamy, slow-cooked rice pudding with hints of cardamom.
- Gulab Jamun – Warm, syrup-soaked dumplings that melted in my mouth.
- Falooda – A refreshing, layered treat of vermicelli, basil seeds, and rose-flavored milk.
“Okay, I admit it,” I laughed, scooping up the last bite of kheer. “This buffet is worth every dollar.”
Zaid smirked. “Told you. Now imagine if we tried to cook all this at home.”
He had a point.
More Than Just a Meal—A Ramadan Experience
As we finished our chai, I looked around the restaurant. The atmosphere was buzzing, filled with families, laughter, and warm conversations. It wasn’t just about the food—it was about the experience.
For $26.99, you weren’t just getting unlimited Iftar—you were getting:
- Authentic South Asian flavors made fresh every day.
- A diverse selection of appetizers, mains, desserts, and drinks.
- A warm, family-friendly atmosphere perfect for Ramadan gatherings.
- A nostalgic experience that reminded us of home.
- Overall the best Iftar buffet in Baltimore
Would I Pay $26.99 Again? Absolutely.
Before we left, Zaid grabbed an extra to-go box filled with biryani and kababs for Sahoor.
“So,” he asked, “Was it worth it?”
I laughed. “Worth it? I’d pay even more for this again next weekend.”
If you’re in Baltimore this Ramadan, and you’re wondering if Mehfil Karahi & Kabab’s Iftar buffet is worth it—the answer is simple: yes. But don’t just take my word for it. Experience it for yourself.
