Chicken Wings (Sweet and Spicy) Sindhi Biryani Mutton Nihari Haleem Upon entering the restaurant, we were greeted with a warm and friendly welcome, accompanied by the tantalising aroma of authentic spices wafting through the air. The ambience instantly transported us to the bustling streets of Pakistan, setting the stage for an exceptional dining experience. For starters, we indulged in the Sweet and Spicy Chicken Wings. Cooked to absolute perfection, they were beautifully tender and practically melted in the mouth. The balance of sweetness and spice was spot on, leaving us wanting more. Next came the Sindhi Biryani, one of the restaurant's signature dishes. The flavour profile was nothing short of incredible – rich, aromatic, and perfectly spiced. Each mouthful was a burst of authentic taste, so much so that it felt as though we were dining in Karachi rather than Leeds. Following that, we sampled the Haleem, which was nothing short of spectacular. The texture was smooth and hearty, and the flavours were robust and deeply satisfying. It’s easily one of the best versions of Haleem I’ve ever had outside of Pakistan – a true delight for the taste buds. Finally, we were served the Mutton Nihari. The meat was tender beyond words, practically disintegrating with each bite, while the luscious gravy was a symphony of spices that filled the mouth with warmth and flavour. It instantly transported me back to my last visit to Karachi, evoking fond memories of traditional dining experiences there. Each dish exceeded expectations, and the authenticity of the flavours was a testament to the skill and dedication of the chefs. A must-visit for anyone craving a genuine taste of Pakistan!

What a find! A treat for people from Karachi and everyone else who wants to experience real flavours of Karachi food! Ordered bun kabab, masala chips, karachi biryani, chana chaat, lemonade and karak chai.. everything was on point! Bun kabab was out of this world 10/10!! Will surely be coming back to try new dishes! If you want spicy biryani, please do ask while ordering. Definitely a strong recommendation to visit! Lovely ambiance and welcoming staff. Preet was a wonderful host 🫶🏼

Last week, my family and I traveled to Leeds for a business meeting, and we decided to explore the city afterward. As it was my first time in Leeds, we were on the lookout for a desi restaurant, and that's when we came across Mr. Shapatar. The name immediately caught our attention, as it's a popular slang word from the streets of Karachi, where we are from. Curious about the connection, we decided to give it a try. To our delight, it was their opening day, and they were offering a 50% discount. The staff were incredibly welcoming, and the ambiance was perfect. We were thrilled to find Karachi’s authentic Aloo Biryani on the menu, which reminded me of the famous Burns Road Biryani. The Nihari was also spot on, just like the traditional Karachi Nihari. We ordered Biryani, Nihari, and Haleem, although there were many other options, we couldn't resist the authentic Karachi dishes. The freshly made naan served alongside the dishes added to the experience. I also had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Mr. Nabeil, a very down-to-earth person and a chartered accountant by profession. It was wonderful to chat with him and learn about his vision for the restaurant. Overall, it was an excellent dining experience, and I highly recommend Mr. Shapatar to anyone visiting Leeds. If you're craving authentic Karachi food, this place is a must-try!

Greeted by a friendly manager, whilst we were ordering, they brought a complimentary poppadom tray. The shop was clean and tidy. Ordered the chicken karahi, lamb karahi, and the chef's special chicken biryani. The food was cooked to perfection 👌 a good balance of spice in the karahis, I especially enjoyed the chicken karahi, made to medium/apna style spice as requested. Will definitely come again 🙂
