Crema's Take
“This beloved Pakistani spot serves up some of Fort Lauderdale's most authentic nihari and smoky BBQ, with a warmth that extends from the kitchen to the owner's promise that you'll leave satisfied or come back free. The quick-service format keeps the energy efficient without sacrificing the care—reviewers rave about fresh, flavorful dishes that arrive fast and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel at home, even if you've just moved from across the country. It's the kind of place where the food speaks for itself and the hospitality feels personal, not transactional.”

Came here in the search for authentic nihari. We got there around 5:00 p.m. during Ramadan time, the place was empty but they were still bagging up orders to go and as we were about to leave which was around iftar time the place got a lot more busier. The nihari was a slightly above average I would give it a 7 1/2 out of 10. I enjoyed the barbecue platter 8.5/10 the beef seekh kebab was the best and the naan here is actually pretty good as it's huge. The butter chicken was good and portions are not too big, we also tried the mango lassi and it was decent.
If you’re looking for authentic Pakistani food, Khan Baba is hands down the best I’ve ever had and I don’t say that lightly. I moved here from Toronto, Canada, where I was constantly surrounded by Pakistani restaurants and grew up eating this cuisine regularly. So my standards are high. But without any exaggeration, Khan Baba truly tops them all. Every dish tastes like it’s made with care. Beyond the food, the owner is always so warm and welcoming. You can tell he genuinely cares about his customers and that kind of hospitality makes the experience even better. I recommend Khan Baba to everyone I know, and anytime family visits me, this is the first place I take them☺️🇵🇰
OMG 😍🥰👍👏🌹Khan Baba Pakistani Restaurant delivers an outstanding dining experience from start to finish. The service is warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, making you feel right at home. The food is exceptional—rich, authentic flavors, perfectly balanced spices, and consistently high quality across the menu. Every bite speaks of care, tradition, and mastery. Without exaggeration, this is probably the best Pakistani taste in Florida. A must-visit for anyone who values great food done right. 🔥🇵🇰🌸🌷🌺
Delicious food and great service! We had a wonderful experience at Khan Baba. The food was fresh, flavorful, and came out quickly. We ordered the Philly cheesesteak for our son, which he absolutely loved, and my husband and I shared the kebab platter — everything was perfectly seasoned and cooked. The staff was friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. We’ll definitely be back!
The BEST restaurant in Fort Lauderdale /miami. The bbq was one of the best. The owner told me that if I don’t like anything I can return and no problem at all. That’s a first in a desi restaurant ever. We ordered Bihari kabab, bbq platter and aloo paratha and chai. Everything was perfect. So satisfying!!! Will be visiting again in sha Allah
