Butt Karahi is one of Lahore's most famous desi restaurants, serving chicken and mutton karahi cooked in desi ghee at its Lakshmi Chowk branch on McLeod Road for decades. The menu is deliberately simple — karahi by the kilogram, plus maghaz, tak-a-tak and barbecue — and the restaurant's reputation has spawned many copycat namesakes, so visitors check carefully for the original Lakshmi Chowk outlet. It is a late-night favourite and gets crowded at dinner time. Go early or be ready to wait, and confirm the per-kilogram price before ordering, since karahi is priced by weight.
