About Us

The story of Karak House

Two culinary traditions, one table. We opened Karak House to give Tbilisi the food we grew up with — Arabian rice plates built for sharing and Indian curries with real depth — served with the kind of welcome that makes a restaurant feel like a home.

Our Kitchen

Spice, ground fresh every morning

Our head chef trained between Hyderabad and the Gulf, and that journey is on the plate. Cardamom, black lime, fennel and Kashmiri chilli are roasted and ground in-house each day. Lamb is braised for hours before service, biryani is sealed and steamed to order, and bread leaves the tandoor only when your table is ready for it.

Nothing arrives from a jar and nothing sits waiting. It takes longer — and that is exactly why guests keep coming back.

What We Stand For

Six promises we keep every service

  • Authentic recipes

    Mandi and kabsa cooked the Gulf way; biryani, rogan josh and butter chicken made to recipes carried from Indian home kitchens.

  • Fresh ingredients

    Produce and meat sourced daily in Tbilisi, whole spices roasted and ground in-house every morning — nothing pre-made.

  • Friendly service

    Our team explains every dish, adjusts spice to your taste and never rushes a table. Hospitality is the point.

  • Cozy atmosphere

    Low light, carved screens, brass lanterns and velvet seating — a room designed for long, unhurried dinners.

  • Family friendly

    Large sharing platters, mild options for children, high chairs on request and space for celebrations big and small.

  • Karak until 2 AM

    Our namesake cardamom tea is poured from brass all day and late into the night, alongside qahwa and lassi.

The Room

Designed for long evenings

Charcoal walls, gold latticework and candlelight at every table. Come as two for a quiet dinner, or take the long table with family and order platters for the middle. Either way, the karak keeps coming.
