What people say, in short
Sakhawat near the Gymkhana is repeatedly recommended for kebabs, including kakori and shami. One diner suggests the mutton boti kebab, and another likes the distinctive taste of its kakori kebabs. The support is not unanimous: one names it in a critical restaurant discussion, another says the taste has declined, and others dislike its kebabs. These reservations sit alongside the repeated positive suggestions.
