A Taste of Tradition in the Heart of Sharjah
Nestled along the bustling Sheikh Zayed Street in Sharjah, Charsi Restaurant and Cafe (affectionately known as Charsi Cafe) offers an extraordinary dining experience that transports guests straight to the mountainous regions of Pakistan and Afghanistan. Our restaurant celebrates the rich culinary heritage of these regions, bringing authentic flavors and traditional cooking methods to the UAE.
The name “Charsi” pays homage to the famous food street in Peshawar, Pakistan, known for its flavorful dishes cooked over open flames and its warm, inviting atmosphere. We’ve captured that same essence here in Sharjah, creating a space where families and friends can gather to enjoy exceptional food in a welcoming environment.
Our Signature Dishes: A Culinary Adventure
At Charsi Cafe, we take pride in our menu of carefully crafted dishes that showcase the best of Pakistani and Afghan cuisine:
Legendary Charsi Karahi
Our namesake dish is a must-try for anyone visiting Charsi Cafe. This aromatic curry is prepared in a traditional wok (karahi) with tender chunks of meat, fresh tomatoes, green chilies, and our secret blend of spices. The dish is finished over an open flame, giving it that distinctive smoky flavor that has made Charsi Karahi famous throughout South Asia.
Mouthwatering Kabuli Pulao
Experience the perfect harmony of fragrant basmati rice, tender meat, sweet carrots, and raisins in our Kabuli Pulao. This Afghan specialty is slow-cooked to perfection, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Fresh-Baked Naan and Roti
No meal at Charsi is complete without our freshly baked bread. Watch as our skilled bakers prepare naan and roti in our traditional tandoor oven, creating the perfect accompaniment to your meal.
A Warm and Authentic Atmosphere
When you step into Charsi Cafe, you’re not just entering a restaurant but embarking on a cultural journey.

What sets Charsi Cafe apart from other dining establishments in Sharjah is our unwavering commitment to authenticity and quality. We import many of our spices directly from their regions of origin, ensuring that every dish captures the true essence of Pakistani and Afghan cuisine.
