Khorak Mahal

Tried their afghani tikka, rosh, seek kebab, dir kulcha, kabuli pulao and custard dessert. Exceptional taste. Suitable for families.

Sumptuous food at Chakdara with lots of variety of BBQ, afghani boti, kababs, rosh and special kulcha. The family rooms were clean and service was on spot. Would like to visit again.

It's my 2nd visit to this restaurant, I was here in November 2019 and now I visited again on 18th August 2023... The seating arrangement is the best, The kitchen is neat and clean... The quality and taste of food is excellent as it was then in 2019.. Above all, the behaviour of the staff and owner of the restaurant is caring.. Highly recommended to the quality food lovers....

Great place if you are looking to eat authentic pakhtoon/afghan cuisine. Taste is great and the environment is extremely neat and clean. Overall 5/5

We had our lunch at Khorak Mahal today and it turned out to be a really good experience. First of all the place is quite big to cater a lot of people. There are two halls with multiple floors and then there are 9 private huts for families to have lunch or dinner. Coming towards food, it was great in taste and quality. They offer a wide variety of food and we tried almost 5-6 different menu items and all items were well cooked, tasty and were served in time. The place is clean with good service and also has substantial parking space. Overall a great experience indeed. Highly recommended if you're a visitor and want to try special dishes of the KPK region.

Everything is good. A little expensive but not much.

My favorite food place in KPK offers excellent food, top-notch service, and impeccable hygiene standards. Highly recommended!

Highly recommended for the tourists coming from all over Pakistan.

Must Try Rosh, Kabuli Pulao, Afghani Boti...

Best option for dinner, especially guests coming from others areas. Location wise it's very best for dinning and having a short time stay, like an hour or two. Costs are not too much high as well, and the best about this place is the cleanliness and better staff.

Their pulao and tikkas are famous but I want everyone to give at the least one try to their mutton kharhai I bet you'll be in love of it after that.

19 Feb 2016. Experience the culinary simplicity of authentic Afghan cuisine. The kitchen and it's called cleanliness standard would put most households to shame. The food is cooked in homegrown herbs and no condiments bought from the market.
12 Nov 2022. Khorak Mahal was and is the he palace of great food. The same unadulterated no frills no nonsense great tasting food.
Their Tikka is just heavenly. The hygiene standards would put kitchens at homes to shame.

Undoubtedly the best eating place in KPK and Swat. It’s open 24/7 with perfect seating for groups and separate comfortable seating area for families.

The place really admiration for its spick & span environment. Their cleanliness is beyond satisfactory with hygiene being the highest priority for kitchen and whole place.

The food is awesome with great taste and spices. Kabuli pulao and dumchi tika is a must try for all. All other dishes including namkeen handi are as great as advertise.

When you are on traveling to swat, chitral, kailash, kumrat or Dir side you can easily stop here to have quality and tasty food especially all type of meat. This place is few kilometers away from ypur route (if you are using swat motorway)
Most importantly when you have fridge in your vehicle you can pack food from here when you are travelling to uphill and not sure that you will get good food when you reach there, you can surely pack delicious food.

Amazing food, fast service, nice seating arrangements for groups, individuals and families. Best in the area. Afghani Mutton Seekh kebabs were amazing. Tried Desi Yogurt on recommendation, it was something worth trying.
My Recommendations:
Brain Masala
Red Beans
Yogurt
Mutton Seekh Kebabs with raita

Nice Place but NOT ECOMICAL nowadays... Prices are rather higher then should be.. Highly Recommend for Food Lovers with Deep Pockets..

Excellent choice to dine in with family on your trip to north, they need to increase their portion size

Best Place to hang out with family. Separate huts for family privacy. Delicious & Freshly served food. Facility of hot water is also available in winters. Reasonable rates.

Wow it was a nice dishes and bbq special recommended for a visit

Best items. Namkeen Gosht. Afghani tikka. The place will be moving close to motorway interchange. Best place to have food on way to & from Swat. 6 km out of the way but worth it. Call them & place order so that the food be ready by the time you reach the place

The tastiest food in this area. But their staff is kind of unprofessional in a way, if you are with a family in the huts they serve families in, they go in and out without asking for permission, not even a knock before they enter and that's the only disappointment.
