$7.00-$9.50

Situated on the east end of CBD, Cafe Karache is located across Murray Street from our favourite ramen shop in Perth, Nao Japanese . Due to how much we love Ramen here at The Pavarotti, we don't seem to eat at Karache as often as we should. That said, when we have resisted temptation, we've always enjoyed the selection of food available at Cafe Karache greatly. 

Cafe Karache offers up a wide selection of Malaysian Food.  A lot of it is served from the bain marie but there are also some daily specials and cooked to order dishes available. It's worth pointing out that this is not the typical bain marie fare you would have come across before. The selection of dishes is fantastic and they are all very tasty. The bain marie is the home of two of our favourite offerings Nasi Campur  and Nasi Briyani.  

Nasi Campur,  or in English: mixed rice, is commonly available throughout South East Asia. Nasi Campur stalls and restaurants serve a large assortment of meat and vegetable dishes, with some of them having up to 100 different dishes on offer. At Karache there are usually about 10 different selections available.  We couldn't go past the Beef Rendang, Lamb Curry and Chicken Curry.

Nasi Briyani  is another Malaysian rice dish, the rice gets its distinct coloration by cooking the rice with saffron and/or turmeric. The rice is cooked with a combination of onions, garlic, ginger and various spices depending on where it is from. Karache cooks up a pretty good and authentic Briyani. They use a nice long grain basmati rice which was extremely tasty and fluffy, it's all too common to get stodgy Briyani in Perth. The rice was also was flavoured well and the peanuts were a welcome addition.  The beef was very tender and extremely tasty, it fell apart very easily and there was no gristle to be found. The Prawn Fritter probably wasn't necessary but it was okay, it contained some nice juicy prawns, but the batter was a bit stodgy. The pickled cucumber and red onion were a nice little addition to the dish, adding an extra dimension to the Briyani.

If you don't have the time to wait at Nao or are after some good, cheap and tasty Malaysian Food, Cafe Karache is the place to go. The service is fantastic and the staff are extremely friendly and nice.

ABOUT US

The Pavarotti is three Perth guys with a love of lunch and a disdain for Perth prices.  

The highlight of our day involves leaving our soggy leftovers in the fridge, strolling to a local eatery and enjoying some fresh food. But living in Perth, this can seriously hit your hip pocket!  That's why we have taken up this noble pursuit.

Join The Pavarotti as we hunt down the best (and worst) lunches that Perth has to offer in the sub-ten-dollar price range.



To borrow an overused cliche, when life gives you lemons you make lemonade. This is just the case with one of our three tenors. A recent office relocation has seen him move from the heart of the CBD to the industrial estate of Welshpool. Initial thoughts of servo pies and lunch bar chicko rolls were met with resignation.

With the initial moaning and whinging complete, he decided to squeeze those lemons. As a result we have discovered a plethora of great dining options in the immediate surroundings and have coined a new hash tag ‪#‎workinginwelshpoolisokay.

Join the Pavarotti as we broaden our horizons and explore the options in and around Welshpool. A little taste of what to come is below. As newbies in the area, please feel free to make some recommendations!
