Karv Steakhouse is a halal live fire restaurant at 52 Evering Road in Lower Clapton. Charcoal and wood are central to the kitchen, giving steaks and chicken a deep smoky flavour and carefully developed crust. The compact dining room combines casual service with a serious focus on meat, making it equally useful for an individual steak or a larger celebration around a sharing platter.
Argentine sirloin, rump and ribeye are cooked over open flames and reverse seared to order. Seasonal vegetables and a choice of sauce complete each steak, allowing the flavour of the beef to remain central. Bone marrow served on toasted sourdough provides a particularly rich starter, while lamb chump and chicken tacos bring fire cooked meat into a lighter format.
Charred buffalo wings and roasted chicken broaden the grill beyond beef. The bone marrow smash burger combines Angus patties, cheese, marrow, pickled cucumber, onion and house sauce in a toasted brioche bun. The result is an informal option with the same rich, smoky character as the steaks, supported by smaller burgers and chicken tenders for younger diners.
Sharing platters combine ribeye, sirloin or rump with chicken, wings and smash burgers, then add chips, mash, spicy rice, salad and several sauces. Chimichurri, mushroom sauce, gravy and other house condiments allow each element to be adjusted at the table. Mojitos and soft drinks complete a straightforward steakhouse experience built around generous portions and the aroma of live fire.
