Nestled in the heart of Karachi, N'eco's Natural Store & Cafe is a delightful haven for those seeking fresh and wholesome dining options. This charming eatery prides itself on its commitment to sustainability, featuring locally sourced organic ingredients that elevate every dish. With a serene atmosphere complemented by exceptional service, it has become a beloved spot for brunch enthusiasts and health-conscious diners alike.
A restaurant that never fails me ever. Been eating here since its start, the highlight are there breakfast menu whole grains, low or no fat, fresh and flavourful prepared well. A great balance of desi and international cuisine at an extremely affordable price. For me it's the perfect place to bring my guests from overseas and for my family Sunday brunch. The restaurant staff are very courteous and adjust their menu items for my dietary needs. Love this place to bits !

This place is a great choice for anyone looking for vegan and keto-friendly options. What sets it apart is the thoughtful service. Although the main course portions were a bit small, the complimentary soup at the start made it feel like more than what I paid for. It seems they keep portions of pricier items controlled while offering more affordable extras. The dishes were packed with fiber-rich vegetables, which made the meal feel wholesome and satisfying.
Both the food and service were excellent. The location, away from busy streets, adds to the experience by creating a calm, peaceful atmosphere. They also offer sugar-free desserts—something rare to find—and a variety of breads, including almond bread, which is especially uncommon.
This place is more than just a restaurant; they also have a store with organic products, adding value to the experience. The menu is extensive, with the added bonus of letting you customize dishes by adding ingredients of your choice. It’s perfect for food lovers who enjoy experimenting with flavors.
Here’s how I’d rate my experience:
• Taste: 8.5/10
• Service: 9/10
• Price: 8.5/10
• Ambience: 8/10
• Menu Variety: 10/10
With plenty of parking available, it’s also easy to access. I highly recommend giving this place a try!
Vibe is good service is fast but food quality isn't good. They are charging 2000+ for a steak but the meat quality isn't good. It felt like a minute steak rather than a proper steak. And felt like the food is average nothing special to talk about.
"NECOS is a culinary gem! Their breakfast and main course menu is one of the best, with mouthwatering food items that will leave you craving for more. From their Bana shake with musli and honey to their Pina colada, Beef steak, Pasta, and Omlete, every dish is a winner. And let's not forget their excellent coffee! Every item I tried scored a perfect 10/10. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a delicious dining experience!"
Had chicken of cream soup and Alfredo pizza. Both were good and were of good taste. The ambiance was great and nice place to enjoy food.
Ordered Necos through Food Panda. A basic order took more than 45 minutes. I was not offered an apology by the staff when the rider put them on phone. What was suppose to be a priority delivery became the opposite. It has been my go to place for years. Shocked with the ungrateful attitude and lack of courtesy on phone. Very sad! Lost all my appetite!
Steak (Medium-Well): 10/10 - Cooked perfectly and incredibly flavorful.
Alfredo Pasta: 10/10 - Rich, creamy, and wonderfully comforting.
Spanish Omelette: 10/10 - Expertly prepared and delicious.
Pina Colada: 10/10 - Refreshing and well-made.
"Breakfast on the Go" Milkshake: 10/10 - Unique and delicious.
Iced Latte: 10/10 - Excellent and perfectly chilled.
A Delicious Breakfast Experience at N'eco's!
I recently had breakfast at N'eco's and was thoroughly impressed. The menu offered a wonderful variety, and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious.
We started with the steak, which was cooked at a perfect medium-well and incredibly flavorful. The Alfredo pasta was rich and creamy, a truly comforting dish. The Spanish omelette was another highlight, perfectly prepared and seasoned.
To drink, I enjoyed a refreshing Pina Colada and an iced latte, both of which were expertly made. My companion opted for the "Breakfast on the Go" milkshake, which was a unique and delicious option.
Overall, N'eco's delivered a delightful breakfast experience. The food was top-notch, and the diverse menu meant there was something for everyone. I highly recommend N'eco's for a delicious start to your day!
The place is very interestingly decorated, one will have to visit to witness for themselves. The food is great however sometimes its just an issue of freshness or blandness with some dishes that tend to hit you on tiresome days you feel like not fighting with the staff. Do take some time to go to the basement and visit their store.

Xander's is renowned for its exceptional pizzas, which are crafted with exotic flavors and fresh ingredients. The cafe takes pizza-making seriously, evident in the traditional brick oven at the center of the establishment that imparts a distinct charred and smoky taste to their creations. From classic Margherita to Chicken Jalapeno, Xander's offers a diverse array of options to cater to various preferences. Additionally, Xander's Cafe is a go-to spot for a delightful breakfast experience.
I come here consistently as it’s one of the best spots to eat. Always get served great foods and love to try different things each time. Just be careful during rush hours as it does tend to get packed. You also get a 15% discount with Faysal Bank Gold Debit cards so use that as you wish.

Went for a lunch.
Luckily got a table without the wait
Ordered:
• Babar's Pasta - Hands down the best and always my go to order😍
10/10
The taste, the blend of spices, the tanginess of cherry tomatoes, the meat in every bite - just perfect
•Parmesan Crusted Chicken - 9/10
Changed the sides from mashed potatoes to fries.
The chicken fillet were perfectly crisp, however thinner than expected.
The sauce was perfectly cheesy and saucy💯
•For the drinks we ordered: Lemonta and Peach Ice Tea. Both were 10/10
The service was efficient
Overall - 8.5/10
We ordered these three shrimp tacos( they were served in these tortillas not the tacos) , chicken and basil fita cheese ( served with dressing) and babar pasta( served with a slice of french bread toasted) . All the dishes were the best. The serving portion is so good that two people can eat.
We went to Xanders and, as always, the place was buzzing with people. It’s usually full, so you have to wait a little, and it does get a bit noisy but that’s also part of the lively vibe.
We ordered iced peach tea and fresh lime which were refreshing. For food, we had the Babar pasta (my wife’s absolute favorite!) and a margarita pizza. The pasta was spot on, while the pizza was good, I’d give it an 8/10.
What keeps bringing us back is the overall experience: the food is consistently nice, and the ambiance is brilliant. Despite the crowd, Xanders still feels like one of the best spots in Karachi for a casual but quality meal.
The ambience was good. They should play light music in the background to reduce the noise of public voices. Fish was awful it was too smelly 😕 don't waste your money on seafood. The chips, steak, and burger were good. The presentation was absolutely amazing. It was a little bit expensive but actually the place is in the high locality so it's fine. Even a burger for Rs.1500, so now you can make an idea.
The food is good however Babar's pasta was just Ok, the hype wasn't real. We got the place in hardly 5 mins and waiting wasn't tht much for the food. Tried their Moroccan Chicken aswell as Jalapeno Pizza, both were great
One of the in places with very good range of pastas, sandwiches, continental food options.
Ambience is excellent.
Place is a bit congested.
Waiting area is too small.
Service is good but needs more efficiency.
Food is very delicious, very fresh and hygienic.
Sofa seats have gone too soft which disturbs the posture against the table height.
It was overall good experience at Xanders. We got seated in 1 to 2 minutes. The staff was friendly and food didn't took much time to arrive. We ordered BEEF UNDERCUT WITH CHIMICHURRI , PASTA ALFREDO CHICKEN and CHICKEN & BASIL PIZZA WITH FETA. Pizza was the best honestly, highly recommend this pizza.
Steak : 5/10
Pasta : 7/10
Pizza : 9.5/10

Took my friends from another city to have their Halwa Poori, it turned out to be a great experience. Sabse achi baat that they have Whole Wheat Poori which is great for people avoiding maida.
Cholay bauht maze k thy aur subah subah rush k bawajud service bauht achi rahi.
Although i think prices are higher than usual ones lekin the quality is great.
Halwapoori is available everyday whole week.
I can't understand that people are dying to wait in que for this disaster restaurant. The food is ok, and dining is ok, but prices .. OMG .. too expensive. Puri even in DHA not more than 100 rupees, but here the price is 170 .. unbelievable.. three times more rates for each item served here .. Not recommended.. there are lots of restaurants in Karachi that offer the best food to Tooso at very reasonable prices. Search for them instead of visit this money loot place. Check their menu in my attached pics
This place had been around since our childhood and when we visited Karachi again after a few years, we decided to try it. Unfortunately, our experience wasn't great....the shashlik was extremely spicy and the club was dry.
Went there with family. First they told us that the AC isn't working in one of the areas, where we wanted to be seated. But then, when they're unable.to accommodate us, they asked to sit in the very area, earlier they cautioned us about. Upon our rejection they got off and started seating others and ignored us as we weren't there. Literally the floor manager said to one of the waiters to ignore them. Kher, children were in the bathroom, otherwise we'd have left the very moment. When we're leaving then the manager came if you could wait, we're going to have space, as a family was about to exit.
But, he could've done that earlier, in much humble way. My bad, we went there. 0 stars.
Food is good but service I felt littlbit slow and the waiters could not properly serve you
Overpriced halwa poori with not so special taste. Club sandwich is also just ok. Only ambiance is good. Servise also too slow. Wont recommend to anyone.
Good place for morning traditional breakfast but expect a long waiting on weekends and holidays. Overall best place

Mews – Restaurant Review 🍴☕
I’ve been to Mews plenty of times, and honestly, I’ve never been disappointed. This time, I went with a couple of friends and the experience was just as good as always.
I ordered the Fish & Chips, and trust me, it was absolutely amazing—crispy batter, tender fish, and just the right balance of flavors. My friends went for the breakfast options, and while I’m personally not a huge breakfast fan, they really enjoyed it and said it was spot on.
The coffee was decent too, nothing over the top but good enough to pair with the food. And the environment at Mews? That’s what really makes it special—super cozy, warm, and just gives you the right vibe whether you’re with friends or on your own.
Full marks from my end.

Clifton’s E Street is now turning into a food street, with many restaurants opening there. One of them is Muse Café. When we arrived there for dinner, the entire restaurant was empty. That may not be good for the café, but personally, I enjoyed it and felt happy to have such a peaceful atmosphere. We ordered fish and chips, a Korean bowl, a classic burger, mac and cheese pasta, and a steak. The service was good and the food tasted fine. The steak, in particular, was delicious. It’s better to avoid the fish and chips. Other than that, the classic burger was excellent as well
"Absolutely stunning cafe! From the moment you walk in, you're hit with the most incredible aroma of coffee, and the decor is just perfection. Every detail feels thoughtfully curated, making it the perfect spot to relax, catch up with a friend, or get some work done. The coffee is amazing—rich, smooth, and expertly made—but the atmosphere is what truly sets this place apart. It's a feast for the eyes and the soul. I could spend all day here!
It's my new favorite spot and I can't recommend it enough. 5 stars all around!"
Visited Mews recently. The café has a pleasant vibe with greenery all around, and the owner was very welcoming when we arrived. We were seated comfortably and even offered a welcome drink.
Food was a bit below expectations. Ordered the Mews Club Sandwich without eggs, but it still came with eggs—the server who took the order was nowhere to be found, so we fixed it ourselves. Taste-wise it was good, though messy to eat despite the stick holding it together. For pizza, I chose the Chicken Bianca from their Google menu but felt a bit deceived as it looked completely different from the picture—probably my fault for not checking the description (the owner should fix that pictures on google menu). The pizza itself was just okay. We also tried the parmesan, which turned out quite decent and different from other cafés (8.5/10). Cappuccino and macchiato were also fine, about 8.5/10.
Service was mixed. One server ignored instructions, but the girl server was polite and even offered to take our pictures outdoors. Overall, a fine one-time visit—maybe with different food picks, it could enhance the experience.
Ambiance was good. French toast was amazing. However, English breakfast was so so. Didn't like the taste of beans at all something was off with the beans. Also, sausage looked or shrinked texture on it which I don't usually see
"I'm absolutely in love with Mews Cafe E-Street! From the moment I stepped in, I felt like I was home. The warm vibes, delicious eats, and great company all come together to create the perfect cozy corner in the city. Whether I'm looking to escape into a world of flavors and comfort or simply need a go-to spot for relaxation and rejuvenation, Mews Cafe E-Street is my top choice. It's truly a place where memories are brewed!"✨❤
Café Mews is a delightfully quaint restaurant with a lovely atmosphere and extensive menu, that has plenty of delectable brunch offerings. I went with a group of colleagues, and I had the Pakistani breakfast, portion was very generous and nicely presented as you can see from the photo. Service was attentive and overall very good, although I do think one of my group member’s breakfast did not get submitted in a timely fashion as it came out later than everyone else’s, and required two reminders. They were also out of the ingredients necessary to make any fresh juices or smoothies - this was disappointing. Overall though, fantastic food in a cute venue – I will definitely be back.
We ordered the beef and mushroom pizza and the beef carpaccio which were both excellent.
However the beef steak& Fritz was not good - the steak was bland and did not have flavour. We ordered chimichirri sauce to go with it but that was not good either - too oily and tasteless.
The service was very good and the food came quickly in 15 mins.
The meal came about to 3,000 per head after a 15% discount. We ordered two mains, one starter and a small bottle of water.

Good coffee, decent waffles, and a tasty club sandwich. The hot chocolate is a must-try! I visited for the cozy ambiance and beautifully presented, aesthetic food, a lovely spot overall.
Good steak and cheese omelette, great pancakes and an average coffee.
Service was ok, ambience was dead.
Had read multiple complaints about it not being the cleanest place, half true and half exaggeration.
Floc is my morning haven. It's a peaceful, sanity-restoring spot where I often find myself playing Ludo, cards, or Jenga, and sometimes diving into a book from their shelf. The ambiance is perfect for a quiet start to the day. Their Devil's Frappe is a must-try, and their pasta and sandwiches are consistently delicious. Floc is the kind of place that feels like a second home.
Had a lovely family lunch at Floc and made more special thanks to Usama.
Everything we ordered was equally delicious and loved by everyone.
We ordered Chicken Strips, Blueberry Banana Smoothie, Chicken Club & Combo Club Sandwich, Affogato, Trio of Fried Chicken Tacos. I also ended up ordering the Vanilla Iced Latte twice because it was that good!
Highly recommended for a cozy coffee & great food!
It's all in the ambiance and food. A really well designed, spacious lot with appropriate music. The food was amazing (especially their coffees!).
We had the FLOC cheeseburgers and pasta. I also had the lemon iced tea which had just the right flavors.
With that said, the management needs a change. The manager was absent on our call, the staff isn't aware of answers to common questions, late service, and momentary clean-up (we didn't request it; it's rude to jump up close on and do a quick cleanup, atleast for me it is).
Dined at FLOC - for the love of coffee in Zamzama, Karachi. Loved the chic wooden decor/ambience. The service was quite welcoming. They do great coffee and delicious French toast. We also ordered chicken sliders which where amazing too. Highly recommend this place if you’re a caffeine lover.
Loved the breakfast. The sunday timings (08:00 am) are perfect for early risers. Amazing Omelettes, bread basket and the coffee is to die for. The greens veggie platter was freshly cut with an amazing dressing. Friendly and trained staff. Brilliant interior. A must go. They just need to get the washroom sorted out hygienically speaking.

Del Frio is a beloved breakfast spot in Karachi, renowned for its exceptional pancakes and waffles that have captured the hearts of locals. This cozy café stands out not just for its delicious offerings but also for the warm hospitality provided by friendly staff who remember their regulars. The generous portion sizes and reasonable prices make it an excellent choice for breakfast lovers.
This place has become our quintessential destination for desserts. Despite the emergence of numerous contemporary and upscale dessert spots, the flavor here evokes a deep sense of nostalgia, reminiscent of my time in Karachi. There’s something about the taste; familiar, comforting, and evocative that makes this a non-negotiable stop every time I visit the city.
My absolute favorite is the chocolate lava cake. I love that moment when you cut into it and the rich, melted chocolate flows out it’s a little visual delight before you even take a bite. And the taste lives up to the presentation warm, rich, and so satisfying. It never fails to lift my spirits. In fact, after enjoying it last night, I couldn’t resist getting another one packed to savor later at home.
This place remains an enduring favorite. Even amidst the constant influx of new dessert spots, it continues to hold its charm!! 😋❤️

Good place . Clean. Ambienace is good. Food is always tasty.
Would come back again.
We tried meditrainian breakfast and grilled sandwich . It was served hot.
Service was quick.
We had the crispy beef and Alfredo pasta.
The beef was undercooked with small portions and no taste , the rice were hard and stale .
The pasta was bland and had a small size of chicken.
Cafe located in Heart of Karachi-Clifton. Del Frio is a name that is unique in itself. Peaceful ambiance ,a wide variety of dishes in menu that covers not only breakfast but also lunch and dinner. The range of dessert is also worth mentioning! . Nutella pancakes were absolutely mouth -watering. Parking is available no issue, card payment accepted here but improvement is required for tea.
Review Daye: 24 August 2025
Delfrio's new outlet in Com3 Building gives you stunning ambiance with green theme. Parking for this building is paid and plenty space dedicated for parking also payment through card accepted here.
Totally disappointing breakfast experience today, we ordered followings rating with reasons below
Shakshuka (4/10): Small serving with big chunks of vegetables, served with hard garlic bread. Hair came out of it that spoiled our time and breakfast.
American Sausgae Omelette (5/10): it was okay.
Nutella pancake (5/10): just okay because there was no any feeling of fresh pan cakes.
Croissant: It was hard.
Hasbrowns: Not value for money.
Apart from food there were cleaning issues as well. One customer was claiming tax receipt as cashier didn't give him the tax reveipt though we didn't get the tax receipt too.
Overall it was not value for money. I shall request the management to take notice of all these issues.
Amazing place. forever my go too. everything is just incredible as always. the waiters are so kind and friendly. they remember you and are happy to cater whatever.
food is really good too. the quantity is big enough and value for money is good! would highly highly recommend! 100/10
they have a lot of discounts on multiple cards too so that's a big plus! the place and ambiance is really nice too. it's cozy and comfortable.
It took ages for the tea to reach us.
And he served it in a take away cardboard cup ....when asked to replace it I was served hot water with a single Lipton yellow label tea bag dangling along. The waiters were more eager for tip than service trying to act accessively pleasing but ending up irritating. The white cheese sauce with breakfast seemed to either have gone bad or smell of stuff in the refrigerator. Disappointing
Loved their omelettes and pancakes..... Coffee could have been better!
Food quality is just about OK. The kind of menu they are offering is very common so they must improve and present some competitive advantage over their peers by reducing prices. Service is good. Here is the tip, if you want to enjoy red 🌶, order oyster beef.

Dhamthal Sweets, Bakers and Nimco is a popular breakfast spot located in Ayesha Manzil. It's known for serving delicious halwa puri, channay, aaloo tarkari and achar. The bakery offers a variety of items such as buns, bread, cakes, pastries, snacks and more.
Dhamthal sweets located at aisha manzil, is one of the most famous point for halwa poori lovers, it's not easy to get parking on a first place due to a congestion on roads as it's a very busy street, feel lucky if you get parking easily, once you complete parking mission the next mission is to get seat, this is even more hectic than parking... but before get seated please take token from inside of the bakery, then waiter will serve you, family seating is on top of the bakery and entrance is from inside the bakery, otherwise you can sit outside wherever you get place, Saturday Sundays or any holidays are full pack houses so visit on your own risk, but taste is guaranteed as always.

Visited on a Sunday morning with friends for breakfast. This place is quite hyped for its traditional halwa puri in Karachi, but I found it just average compared to other options like DilPasand (Nazimabad) or Hafiz (Malir). We sat on the roadside footpath 🍽️, which gave a very basic vibe—definitely an area that could use some improvement for more comfortable outdoor seating.
We ordered the classic halwa with puri, along with channay, aaloo tarkari, and achaar. While the service was fine, the puri was overly oily and the halwa could have been better in taste 🤷♂️. Prices are moderate at around 300-500 per head, and breakfast is available until about 12 PM on weekends. They do offer separate seating for families inside, but we didn't get to try that out.
Overall, if you're looking to try a popular spot, it's worth a visit—but don't expect it to exceed your expectations.

Dhamthal is a fantastic spot, especially known for their delicious halwa puri. They also also offer a variety of bakery items, buns, bread, cakes, pastries, snacks, and more.
The halwa puri, channay, aaloo tarkari and achar was tasty, and what impressed us most was the speedy service despite the crowd. But, it would have even more amazing if they were served piping hot.
They have a family dine-in area on the first floor, but be cautious of the spiral stairs as they can be quite tricky and dangerous.
I heard lot about the Halwa poori at Dhamthal, i was glad to see a restaurant having proper place for families, the stairs to go upper floor is bit risky. I went and had Halwa Poori and got some for home. As per me the hype was a little out of proportion. It was a good Halwa Puri but not great. Yes way better then what’s being sold at most of places but i have had better so cannot call it the best.

Authenticity of Flavor - Star - 7.5 / 10

Value for Money - Star - 7 / 10
Above format would be best to justify my review so i will hopefully continue to keep this for all my next reviews.
Just a normal old style bakery famous just for useless hype.
Location is super congested and easy to reach on even day time. No parking is available for bikes let alone cars.
Interior is just old school no branding on items no expire date on most of products. They do have a vast variety of biscuits, cookies and snacks. Cakes are old style as used to be in 90s. No card facility No bill system they just hand you over hand written slip for items only in case of Halwa puri. As most of bakers charging tax on service they are still in dark age, even without tax their rates are higher than other competitors.
Most hyped is their Halwa Puri but that just a Hype nothing fancy in that, only family dine in area is available that too not enough for crowd they are dealing.
They charge 50/- puri without Halwa and with alo tarkari and channa, alo tarkari was extremely bald in taste but channa were Ok.
If you are in vicinity thats Ok.
I ordered Halwa puri this morning via home delivery.Very poor quality of puris which were uncooked and drenched in oil. There were no potatoes in potato tarqari...only watery gravy.
Very bad experience.
hit LIKE if it helped you. (Y)
Condition of place : a bit fine. Looks like at high end style. But inside cleanliness what it matters, for which i bet I can't say it's good.
Service : cash payment only.
Taste & Quality: Better taste. Sweets are better in taste. Delicious and made in Desi Ghee like taste.
Pappa or Rusk are better in taste.
Bread or White Bread is better in taste and quality.
Halwa Puri is delicious. One of the best Halwa Puri spot in Karachi.
Halwa is delicious now, maybe they changed it from previous one. But this Halwa is tasty now
Reachability : Just on the road.
Courtesy : can not say much but you can say just like dhabba style.
Pricing : prices are a bit higher but the good thing is comparatively better taste.
Parking : parking is an issue here as you have to street park blocking someone's right of way and making a rush spot but you can find one.
Wanna go again here : yes
visited: different times

Dera, located at Boat Basin food street, is a popular restaurant known for its exceptional halwa puri and cheese paratha. The establishment also offers a specialty Kashmiri tea made with Kashmiri leaves, cinnamon, crushed almonds, pistachios, and cardamoms. The restaurant provides a desi sitting arrangement that many patrons favor.
Had the opportunity to enjoy the breakfast at Dera boat basin. The place is very clean compared to other places in Karachi. Food quality is very good. Their nihari and puri choolay were top notch. Zabardast chai to top the breakfast. Sitting is family friendly and karachi breeze makes it a perfect place to dine in. Will come again for sure.

I recently had the pleasure of enjoying breakfast at Dera Restaurant in Boat Basin, Karachi, on a bustling Sunday morning, and overall, it was a good experience.
The highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the amazing taste of the food. Every bite was flavorful and truly satisfying, making it a memorable breakfast. Coupled with the delicious fare, the prices were quite reasonable, offering excellent value for money.
As expected on a Sunday morning, the restaurant was quite busy, which led to slow service. While the staff were working hard, the sheer volume of customers meant there was a bit of a wait. However, this was understandable given the rush and didn't significantly detract from the overall enjoyment.
One minor challenge was finding parking, which can be a bit difficult in the area. Nevertheless, with a little patience, it is possible to secure a spot.
Despite the slow service and parking hurdles, Dera Restaurant stands out for its fantastic food and good pricing, making it a recommended spot for a tasty breakfast in Karachi.
If you want anyone to hate biryani so ask them to order from Dera. Pathetic is a small word. It was just like boiled up masalay walay rice with hardly two shreds of chicken🤢🤢. Couldn’t even give it to some beggar
Went to their Creek walk one and simply amazed with the ambience and food … we tried their chicken karahi , chicken malai boti . Love the freshly made roghni naan and garlic naan.
I love the sitting arrangements and peaceful environment
Amazing food. I am surprised that the restaurant does not have 5 stars on Google. We ordered two different meats, Beef Bihari Boti and Chicken Afghani Boti, both soft, juicy and perfect in taste. We also had Garlic Naan and Arabic Cheese Paratha (I have never eaten such before and it was delicious). Raita and salad large portions, very fresh. Everything arrived hot for delivery. There was a lot of everything, we ate half and gave the rest to our friends. I really recommend it.
Dera in Block 5 Clifton might have good food, but the service is disgraceful. The waiters were unbearably slow, I had to scold two of them for their careless behavior, and one only gave me my change when I demanded it. He was even instructing the cashier in front of me not to discuss that change was “not available,” which felt blatantly dishonest. The food cannot make up for service this unprofessional and shady
Taste is good appreciate but service is slow
Dera restaurant is located at boat basin food street. It serves amazing food. Desi sitting arrangement is available and is my personal favourite. Most of sitting arrangement is open air, i didn't get to see their inside hall sittings. Halwa puri is best for nashta deal. In the evening, i ordered bbq platter which was a blend of mutton, beef and mostly chicken. Taste was good and hot. Beef behari boti was not fully cooked so i had to send it back for re-roasting. Service is 5/5 and staff is cooperative. Food is 5/5. Location is 5/5. However, they lag in facilities. The majority sitting space is set in the area dedicated for car parking. I asked for hand wash, and they pointed me to a steel drum. Overall good experience and family environment.

The Patio, located at E-street, Clifton, is a great choice for those looking to explore vegetarian fusion cuisine. While the restaurant offers only two vegetarian main courses, it makes up for it with an extensive selection of tapas and lavash bread basket. Some recommended items include Honey Crunch Lotus Stems, Baked Feta, Asian Eggplant, Paneer Kalimari, Mezze Platter and Paneer & Mushroom Kuzhambu.
Went to The patio for lunch. The pasta was really flavorful and honestly da pizza was solid 10 ,delicious with a crispy base. Place was cozy n da service was friendly. Enjoyed my meal n wud come back

Visited with friends , oredered their burgers and pasta. Every item on the menu was average at best. Service was average as well. Most of the time waiters preferred to stay in the kitchen instead of on the floor. Despite being very quiet the place had no vibe. Overall 5/10.
Food was average, the environment was decent and so was the service but it wasn’t top notch. The best thing was the bread basket they served complimentary.
The portion size was very small. Pinacolada was very sweet, I wouldn’t ever go there again for food, ordered baked chicken with avocados and it was a 3/10 and pasta was 6/10.
Patio is located at F-street.
It's a cozy place with outstanding food. Consistent, never disappoints. The steaks are the showstoppers on their menu.
The staff is courteous and attentive.
They have both indoor and outdoor seating options.
Ideally, I prefer visiting during lunch hours if I am with kids.
My friend told me about this place so I went with my family to have breakfast. The overall experience was good. Though we made the mistake of sitting outside and were continuously bothered by flies even after they put the repellent. The food was good and the staff were friendly and nice. It was a good experience.
I visited The Patio a week ago, and it was one of the most underwhelming dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. We ordered four items, including a pizza for my little brother — which never arrived. Despite repeated assurances of “just five more minutes,” it never came, and by the time we had finished everything else, it was already too late. My little brother ended up leaving hungry.
When we asked for the bill, they simply brought it without the pizza, without a single apology or acknowledgment of the inconvenience.
The environment was equally unpleasant. The place had no other customers, and the majority of people around were laborers and workers constantly moving in and out, carrying food trays and sitting outside chatting. It felt more like a staff break area than a restaurant.
The service was inattentive and indifferent, and the food that did arrive was painfully average — a far cry from the high expectations I had after hearing about their “famous” high teas from a few years back. Sadly, whatever charm this place once had is long gone.
Bottom line... poor service, disappointing food, and an uncomfortable atmosphere. Definitely not worth the hype.
I had the pleasure of visiting "The Patio," and I can't help but share my extraordinary experience. Nestled in a cozy corner, this place is a true hidden gem, offering an ambiance that perfectly balances tranquility and vibrancy.
From the moment I stepped in, I was captivated by the enchanting vibes that permeate the atmosphere. The meticulous arrangement of art pieces lends the venue a Rumi-esque aesthetic, creating an inviting and soulful setting. The fusion of outdoor and indoor spaces is seamlessly executed, providing guests with a choice of delightful environments to suit their preferences.
The outdoor area is a haven of serenity, with lush greenery and tasteful decor that make it an ideal spot for a romantic date night. The indoor section, on the other hand, exudes warmth and sophistication, making it perfect for lively gatherings with friends.
"The Patio" has truly become my go-to place for first dates. The unique charm, coupled with the carefully curated ambiance, sets the stage for memorable moments. Whether you're seeking a romantic atmosphere for a date night or a chic space to hang out with friends, this venue surpasses expectations.
Visited the Patio for the first time in Oct 2023. One of the finest foods in Karachi. Per person it would easily cost you 3500 to 4000 but worth every penny.
Indoor and outdoor seating arrangement . We prefered indoor. It was a Sunday night but the restaurant wasn't very crowded.
We tried:
Wasabi prawns with pineapple salsa in starter.
Grilled fillet mignon with potato wedges
Chicken mushroom gratin
Chicken Roulade
butterfly chicken with roulade sauce and potato wedges ( modified for us)
Pina colada
1 large mineral water
Everything tasted great. Bill after card discount was 12,500.
The only thing is every dish had just 1 side and french fries wasnt an option. We expected atleast 2 sides with every dish. So we opted for wedges when restaurant refused to offer fries as an option.

Wife and I were visiting from out of country. Karachi is just like home for us. Food at this place is great. Everything was fresh and made to order. We ordered omelet, paratha, and chai. Service was great and food was very cheap. Highly recommend for local breakfast.
Quetta Alamgir Hotel offers a delightful experience for anyone looking for a hearty and flavorful meal. I had the pleasure of enjoying their chai, paratha, and omelette, and it was nothing short of satisfying.
Chai: Rich, aromatic, and perfectly balanced in sweetness, it’s the kind of tea that warms your soul.
Paratha: Flaky, crispy, and served hot, it paired beautifully with the tea, making it a must-try for breakfast or a quick snack.
Omelette: Soft, well-cooked, and seasoned just right, it added a savory touch to the meal.
The ambiance is simple yet welcoming, perfect for casual dining or a quick stopover. The service was efficient, and the food was served fresh. Overall, Quetta Alamgir Hotel is a great spot for authentic desi flavors at an affordable price. Highly recommended!
The famous lachha paratha, cholay and tea.. the right in the heart of bahdurbad near kokan park.. I have been visiting the place since last 15 years.. very good for morning chai paratha place. It also has the family seating area inside. Truly love it. Highly recommended.
No match of their Lacha Paratha, simple Lahori channa plate & tea. Anda paratha also a good choice for sahoor & breakfast.
A treat for your taste buds.
Food was Delicious as usual. Specially qeema and Paratha as usual but Family room was too Dirty and Messy. Washing area pathetic and wash basin was chcked
Breakfast was just alright, nothing special. The paratha was thicker and a lot smaller than usual, but it tasted the same as other’s. The omelet and channa were slightly better than other’s but nothing amazing. Overall not as good as people say.
It started with one teashop and branched out to few more to cater to endless customers day and night ..: 24hours… if you are visiting Karachi then u must try their paratha and tea.

Cafe Aylanto is a luxurious restaurant located in the upscale neighborhood of Clifton, offering a serene outdoor dining experience. With a diverse menu inspired by continental and Mediterranean flavors, this eatery stands out as one of the best in Karachi. From soups and seafood to sandwiches and burgers, their offerings are made with fresh ingredients.
A Culinary Legacy by Obaid & Humaira Sattar
Established in 1996 by Obaid and Humaira Sattar, this fine dining destination started its journey as an upscale deli and sandwich bar, offering authentic Italian cuisine. Over the years, it has gracefully expanded its menu to include Mediterranean flavors, all while maintaining its original charm and commitment to quality. I’ve been a regular guest here, and every visit consistently exceeds expectations. This time, it was a family outing — and it turned into yet another memorable experience.
We let our server take the lead and order for us, which turned out to be a great decision. Here’s what we enjoyed:
Chilli Garlic Prawns
A vibrant start to the meal — perfectly cooked prawns tossed in a bold chilli garlic sauce. The dish had a punch of heat and richness, with a slightly smoky finish that made it addictive.
Warm Avocado & Prawns
This dish leaned into subtlety and sophistication. The creamy avocado paired harmoniously with the gently sautéed prawns, served warm to bring out the natural flavors. Light, fresh, and perfectly balanced.
Truffle Pasta
Pure indulgence. The pasta was cooked to al dente perfection and coated in a luxuriously creamy truffle sauce. The truffle aroma was present without being overpowering, offering a deep, earthy richness in every bite.
Aylanto Special (Pizza)
A delightful surprise. The Aylanto Special pizza was thin-crusted, generously topped, and beautifully baked. It featured a balanced medley of toppings — likely including mushrooms, peppers, olives, and maybe some premium meats or cheese — layered over a flavorful tomato base. The crust was crisp yet airy, and the flavors came together in a comforting, satisfying way.
Grilled Jumbo Prawns
These were visually impressive and expertly grilled. Slightly charred on the outside, juicy and tender inside, with a citrus-herb marinade that brought everything together. A showstopper on the table.
⸻
Desserts
• Tiramisu: Light, airy, and classic. The espresso was noticeable but not overpowering, and the mascarpone layer was creamy and smooth. A refined take on a traditional favorite.
• Warm Bread Pudding: Comforting and indulgent. Served warm with a drizzle of sauce (possibly caramel or toffee) and maybe a scoop of ice cream — this was the perfect sweet finish to the meal.
⸻
Final Thoughts
Each dish was well-executed and full of flavor. The presentation, ambiance, and service were as refined as ever. Yes, prices are on the higher side — and the cost of a Wagyu steak here could very well match a middle-class family’s grocery budget — but the experience justifies the spend, especially for special occasions.
If you haven’t been, it’s well worth a visit — just go knowing that you’re paying for premium ingredients, ambiance, and consistency. Don’t skip the desserts, and if you’re feeling adventurous (and flush), the Wagyu steak is a culinary indulgence you won’t forget.
Highly recommended for those who appreciate fine dining and are ready to splurge.

Having moved from lahore, I must say I'm severely disappointed by the quality of food in khi in the SAME restaurants as in lahore!
Aylanto lahore was always the place for special occasions.
Took some guests for brunch.
Ordered Turkish eggs : qty of yogurt was more than needed for 2 eggs. No attention paid to the size and shape of container it was served in. Supposed to be served w sourdough bread but it was NOT. The bread was over toasted, dry and flaky.
The Works : out of avocados and instead served sliced hotdogs / huge dish looked miserable with tiny portions
Waffles : dry, hard and stale.
Spanish latte: bland / and boring
Service was lethargic
I mean there was hardly anyone there whne we walked in at 12:15 ( NOW I'm not surprised why)
But the service / the quality both disappointing.
I had filled in the feedback and received a call. Was told the next time I'm in, they will make sure I get better service / food
[IF there's a next time.]
Good customer service is about :
Responding promptly (whether in person, over the phone, or online).✅
• Avoiding unnecessary delays in resolution.❌
Turning a negative experience into a positive memory.❌
Cannot expect a customer to return with the promise of better next time! Nothing was done to make this visit better
Visited Aylanto for anniversary dinner today.
We ordered prawns for appetisers + garlic Red snapper and beef smash burger for mains.
Food:
Taste profile wise the snapper can be really improved. It was rather bland and missing the much needed olive oil, snapper seasoning is best kept minimal but it was super bland and I had to season it well with salt and acid to make it appealing. Potatoes served were also not baby potatoes.
The smash burger was good. The prawns were buttery and garlicky and remarkable.
Ambiance:
The indoor ambiance can be improved. The music was rather loud. I would suggest quaint homely decor and more Mediterranean accents as a nod to it being a family run business.
Service:
The absolute cherry on top was the great service. Everything was served almost instantaneously and the servers kept checking in with us regularly if we required anything.
To conclude, we would certainly visit again as I'm curious to explore their menu further.
Go to place for high end Italian. Valet parking available. Beautiful ambiance. Delicious food perfectly delivered. Reservation recommended.
Great food quality, awesome ambiance, tremendous service. We ordered Garlic Red Snapper and Alfredo Pasta. Really enjoyed both dishes. Would definitely come again. Highly recommended.
Very cool and niche . Food was great and the ambience is soothing. Mango colada was tasty
We had truffle pasta and jumbo shrimp, Great taste
Unfortunately, Cafe Aylanto was a big disappointment this time.
- First, their indoor seating was “reserved.” Even though all the tables were empty, we were told to sit outdoors.
- We didn’t mind at first, because we usually enjoy Flo. But before we could even start eating, the mosquitoes attacked. Instead of enjoying our food, we ended up busy killing mosquitoes.
Food:
• Korean Chicken Bao – 7/10
• Truffle Pasta – 5/10 (tasted more like Nestlé Milk Pak cream than truffle)
• Crème Brûlée – 3/10
Ambiance: With mosquitoes around, it honestly felt like zero 🫤
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Absolutely loved the ambiance at Cafe Aylanto! The food was delicious and beautifully presented. Perfect place for a relaxed evening.
One of my favorite spots in town. Their grilled chicken and pasta are always on point. Highly recommend it
The outdoor seating at Cafe Aylanto is so cozy and elegant. The service was prompt and very courteous.
Had dinner with family last night — every dish was amazing, especially the steak. Worth every penny
Cafe Aylanto never disappoints! Great flavors, friendly staff, and a calm environment.

Butlers Chocolate Café is a popular specialist chocolatier and coffee chain that offers handmade sweets, pastries, sandwiches, and a wide array of chocolate treats. The café provides comfortable seating with stable WiFi, making it a great spot to set up a workstation. While the noise level may not be serene, the ambiance is unique with grooving 1940s tunes playing in the background.
First things first, the taste of the food was fantastic. We ordered the Beef Smash Burger, and I can confidently say it’s one of the best I’ve had in Karachi. The flavor was rich, juicy, and perfectly cooked, truly satisfying.
The desserts were equally delightful. They had just the right amount of sweetness, not overloaded with sugar, but nicely balanced and enjoyable.
Overall, everything was well-prepared and thoughtfully presented. A great dining experience.

Visited Butlers for dinner.
Food:
Garlic bread with Parmesan (9/10). It’s simple garlic bread with some Parmesan sprinkled over it. They should add a cheesy dip so it doesn’t feel too dry.
Honey Mustard sandwich (5/10). Not worth trying. Ordered it on the waiter’s recommendation but didn’t like it much. Espresso still remains the best in sandwiches. Butlers might have better paninis.
Spicy Chicken Pasta (10/10) – It was so delicious, especially when eaten with garlic bread. The pasta was cheesy and served piping hot. A must-try if you’re a pasta fan and like spicy food. Also, they should provide complimentary garlic bread like few cafes do.
For drink: iced latte with a vanilla shot (9.5/10) hit the spot.
Ambiance:
The place was incredibly noisy at 9 p.m. Some people were so loud it gave me a headache. The tables are too close to each other—you can clearly hear people around you, which sort of spoils the overall experience.
Service:
The waiters seemed to be struggling due to the rush hour. It was hard to get a waiter to stop and listen to you. But the food was served quickly.
The Pasta Au Gratin was hands down the best!! One of the best pastas I’ve had in karachi. Their food is delicious and really good quality.
Again we visited Buttlers to have our favourite Irish full breakfast.
It consists of scrambled egg, chicken sausage, hash brown, turkey bacon, spinach in mushroom sauce, kidney beans, bread, jam, butter.
My wife took Mac & Cheese Pasta.
And their coffees are the reason for our repeated visits.
Servers know us but they all are well trained and courteous with all.
Ambiance is good but needs renovation, I want to add one more thing that they have to find seepage and get it repaired to eradicate bad odour..
Butlers is always our go-to spot for a delicious breakfast. The pasta was, as always, flavorful and perfectly done, and the French toast didn’t disappoint either. However, the sandwiches were quite bland and could use some improvement. Overall, a good experience with room for a few tweaks.
They have great atmosphere and their food quality is awesome.
Stopped for a quick coffee while shopping on Zamzama street. No parking available. We were lucky we had someone who could drop us and wait. Ordered cappuccino and a mojito. Both full on taste, coffee was fresh and strong, served with a cookie. Loved the caffeine shot!!
Terrific service from Shazil. The Irish breakfast platter was very nice along with Irish coffee and cookie hot chocolate.

This is the all-day dining restaurant inside the Karachi Marriott Hotel. They offer breakfast, lunch, hi-tea, and dinner.
They serve soups, salads, international and Pakistani dishes, desserts, fruits, and juices. They serve a vast variety of food items. They offer vegetarian and vegan dishes.
They have ample indoor seating. They accept payment by cash or card. For international standards of pricing, they are priced below average.
For car parking, you can use the hotel parking lot.
Number one choice for early breakfast in whole Karachi. I didn’t experience this much extensive breakfast options anywhere in entire Pakistan. Most of the dishes were great taste however, a few of them need little up-gradation in taste. Good options for juices and multiple dishes in buffet breakfast with a good tea is a plus. Must visit for breakfast. Had high tea a considerable time ago that was equally a satisfying experience.
Nadia Café at the Marriott Hotel Karachi – A Timeless Gem for Buffets and Brunch
If you're in Karachi and craving a reliable spot for an indulgent meal, Nadia Café is your go-to. Tucked inside the upscale Marriott Hotel on Abdullah Haroon Road, this 24/7 all-day diner has been a staple since the 1980s, blending continental, Pakistani, and international flavors with effortless elegance. I've dined here multiple times for breakfast, hi-tea, and lunch buffets, and it never fails to deliver that perfect mix of variety, quality, and comfort – especially if you're with family or friends.
What stands out most is the buffet spread. For breakfast, expect an extensive lineup: five types of fresh fruits, seven cheese varieties, salami and tuna slices, pickles, a dozen pastries and cakes, plus savory options from English breakfasts to Chinese stir-fries and local desi favorites. The hi-tea (around PKR 1,700 per person) is a highlight – think crispy kachoris that steal the show, alongside a bounty of salads, mutton bhuna gosht, sautéed veggies, and even kid-friendly bites. It's not just food; it's a feast that feels luxurious without being overwhelming. One recent brunch left me raving about the stunning presentation and seamless blend of flavors – from juicy grilled items to decadent desserts.
The ambiance elevates the whole experience. The indoor-outdoor seating with fairy lights creates a magical vibe, perfect for a relaxed Sunday or an Eid gathering. It's spacious, peaceful, and family-oriented, with that classic hotel polish that makes you feel pampered. Service is another win: Attentive staff (shoutout to managers like Rehan Khan for thoughtful touches like complimentary anniversary cakes) keep tea and coffee flowing, and they're polite even during peak hours.
Sure, it's on the pricier side for Karachi standards – buffets can add up – and occasional gripes about drier dishes or service hiccups pop up, but the value shines through in the sheer diversity and consistency. Ranked #21 of 358 restaurants on Tripadvisor with a solid 4.4/5 from 68 reviews, it's earned its rep as a "must-visit for early breakfast" and hi-tea lovers.5767fd Recent Google feedback echoes this, praising the "excellent service, food quality, and ambiance" across American, seafood, and Pakistani offerings.ca5a12

Went there for high tea.
Food taste and options were really disappointing.
When you see the name Marriott u expect good quality and taste but Nadia's cafe was totally opposite
There is no comparison of the tase with the price they are charging per person. High tea buffet from a local restaurant like lal qila etc is much better than this.
Had a great experience of buffet lunch at cafe Nadia, Marriot hotel. Variety of food was available and almost all items were good. Mutton bhuna gosht and sauted vegetables were very good in main course. Lot of variety of Salad was also available. If you like to have sweets after meal then you are in luck as Gulab Jaman, Shahi tukra, Mango moos and caramel pudding is very tasty. Had a great experience of service from the staff.

Riyan K — Google review
Staff was welcoming. However food wasnt great. The sandwich was overly spiced and fragrant. Toast was soft and soaking in butter and not toasted well. Chicken in peanut sauce was dry.
The cake and shake were decent! Wont recommend for lunch or dinner, but a good place for cakes and drinks.
After years we headed to Chatterbox and regretting it immensely. One Sunday night family dinner and night out was sadly wasted!
Extremely underwhelming food. Watered down flavours and not much taste in anything at all. The only thing relatively good was the cream of mushroom soup 8/10. After that we had a waffle sandwich which was tasteless and nothing to talk about... my daughter gave it 1/10. I ordered a Chicken Mushroom Bowl that had an insane amount of rice but the chicken was tough and shouldn't be served at all, not a flavourful dish at all 3/10. We also ordered their Iqbal Pasta... now just copying a very famous eatery and their very popular Babar pasta is NOT enough to make a good dish. This pasta dish was extremely bland, just did not work and the prawns in it were not good at all... 3/10.
Overall experience not good at all and we are sorry that we wasted our time and money. In this amount we could have eaten at any good restaurant in the city.
Never again Chatterbox! Never again!
The food is fine, nothing exceptional. Personally never was fond of the food. I still gave it another shot. Alas, it was not something I'd recommend.
Although, a big shout out to peace ice tea. It was incredible!
The seats are uncomfortable, the downstairs area is slightly noisy but the staff is nice and welcoming.
I hope if they can improve upon the food and work on the better seating.
The rice bowl here is so good! Every one is kind and responsible. Good atmosrphere and great food. My waiter was sunny, he was really kind and always had a smile on his face :)
It's used to be a regular for us but last couple of years I did not visit much. And thought of trying out my favourite from past this weekend. They were very accommodating and served well our table, the steaks was like made of rubber, upon complaint the manager changed that and whoaaa this one is amazing melted in mount just the right temperature at medium and full of flavour. Beside the pizza margarita was good. Not very excited about out the Alfredo pasta and the sweet chiile chicken bowl I ordered.
Had a great dinner time at the chatterbox.
We were welcomed with a light appetizer.
For the mains, ordered Chicken Panini which was delicious. It is perfect for someone craving a non spicy meal. (9/10)
Moroccan Chicken also tasted nice. It was on a spicier side. There were 4 pieces of fillet served with slide line of choice and veggies. It also contained olives which enhanced the overall taste. (9/10)
Cold coffee was heavenly, it had the perfect bitterness of a coffee and sweetness of vanilla ice cream though the serving size was less compared to the price.
Overall, it is a great place if you like to eat someplace cozy and quiet with a little bit of music at the back along with great service.
Sunny and Nina gave good service and food delicious

kinda expensive for the food i had
4 chick strips and 2 frappe cost me around 4.5k and i dont think it should be that high 😂
Good atmosphere, Service was excellent.. Coffee was really nice no doubt. From price point of view it is high end, I’m ok to pay the price if food is good, we ordered red velvet cake super dry and no cream cheese frosting 1.5/5, we ordered Nutella brownie 2/5 rock solid and there was no sign of Nutella, chocolate pancakes were super dense I think their chefs need to watch (food fusion recipes) to learn how to make pancakes 1/5. Club sandwich was decent just the beef was tough 3/5 I loved their panini sandwich it was absolutely delicious 4/5, we also ordered loaded fries it was decent 2.5/5. Please work on your dessert menu and change your pastry chef! Thank You. I paid 8k for all this honestly the deserts weren’t worth the price.
Gloria Jeans coffee house has made significant improvements since my last visit, earning a solid 3.5/5 rating in my book. The revamped setup offers a pleasant ambiance, although there's still room for a bit more personality in the decor. Service has notably improved, with attentive staff ensuring a smoother and more enjoyable experience. The food and beverages have seen an upgrade as well, with a decent selection that satisfies cravings, though there's still potential for more variety and innovation. Overall, while Gloria Jeans has taken positive strides forward, there's still some fine-tuning needed to reach the level of excellence found in top-tier coffee houses.
This coffee spot is a true gem! The coffee is rich, smooth, and full of flavor—whether it’s a classic espresso, a creamy latte, or a refreshing iced brew. You can tell the beans are high quality and expertly brewed. The ambiance is cozy and relaxing, and the baristas are friendly and knowledgeable. It’s the perfect place to grab your morning boost or unwind with a warm cup. Highly recommend!
Great place to hang out with friends. :) Decent food. Great coffee.
Edit: they have relocated nearby to their previous location. The new space is not as spacious as the previous one but the ambiance and interior is really good. The service and food is all the same. ❤️
Sorry, there wasn't an option for negative marking. Orelse i would've selected that.
Gloria Jeans never fails to disappoint you by their horrible service and food quality. This is the 2nd time,their staff ignores and continues to be rude. A girl waitress there needs to be fired.
Poor Service
Worst staff
Arrogant behavior
Cold/pale food
Educate your staff or shut your business. You can visit voice of customer now. As i plan to take this further.
Poor quality drinks and horrible ambience. Pathetic state of affairs all around!
i) Half of the menu wasn't available when we were ordering
ii) Shambolic state of furniture, walls (sofas with torn leather, table needing repair and coating, exposed AC cabling etc)
iii) Zero hygiene standards (dirty tables, no sanitizers, staff not wearing masks properly)
iv) Under staffed even at 12am!
Utter wastage of time and money. So bad I don't want to rate them even 1 star!

Master Juice in Defence Phase II is a popular spot known for its delicious halwa puri breakfast and refreshing juices. It offers a wide variety of fresh fruit juices, milkshakes, ice cream flavors, and faloodas in a peaceful outdoor setting with ample parking space.

Although prices may be slightly high, many visitors still enjoy their experience at this establishment.
I see the best gas station in Karachi where you get the good guilt of gas and experience stuff is available 24/7 & having a big parking area.
I'm suggesting to everyone to visit there for your good experience thanks once again Gb gas ☺️

I absolutely love Theatre Live Restaurant! The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, and the service is always friendly. On my recent visit, the food was simply amazing. I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Burger, which was juicy and full of flavor, the Crispy Almond Herb Chicken that was perfectly cooked with a delightful crunch, and a fresh, cheesy Margarita Pizza. The Loaded Cheese Fries were the ultimate comfort food crispy, creamy, and indulgent.
For dessert, we treated ourselves to an eclair, a cupcake, and a macaron. Each one was beautifully presented and tasted heavenly sweet, rich, and perfectly balanced.
From start to finish, the experience was perfect. Highly recommend this place for anyone who loves great food and a vibrant dining atmosphere!
I tried the cafe for the first time last night. I ordered one dish with two drinks followed by Nutella n Fudge brownies.
Both brownies were tasty n fresh.
The prices are on the higher side while the service n presentation don’t justify the same, not being fine dining vibe.
No glass was served with the soft drink, which is a must.
I ordered Italian, with everything on the side. I’ll rank it 7/10.
The vegetables on the side included just two slices of tomatoes. Looked almost like an after-thought addition. Didn’t look tempting at all.
The serving quarter plates were stained.
The glasses n crockery definitely need an upgrade.
We went there for breakfast but ended up ordering other things as well, as their entire menu was available in the morning as well.
We had:
Breakfast magnifique 8/10
Fish & ships 9/10
Bead red pasta 7/10
Club sandwiches 8/10
Our total was 10k something along with drinks and a shake.
The ambiance is so beautiful and the place is very peaceful but v expensive, tho. Recommended!
They have such appetizing food.
The brisket burger was mind blowing.
The steaks(Flat iron & Chateaubriand) oustanding.
Had a great experience. Enjoyed the food the gathering and place.
Thank you Team Theatre
Good Service, Nice & Cozy, Bit Expensive, Unique Items.
We visited it on third day of Eid for breakfast with friends. We Omelette were very good, especially the beef used in it was perfectly cooked. One thing I missed was that they dont serve butter, jam, salt and pepper along with breakfast.
French toast syrup is extremely sweet. Ask them to give it separately. Coffee was good beans used were of good quality.
People who visit such places, please have some manners and dont laugh and talk like Illiterate goons, other people may dont like it. Place is small and very noisy sometimes.
Not worth it. Most of the items have very similar taste profiles to each other and the only thing on the menu that wasn't mid was the mediterranean focaccia pizza, but even that and a very frugal amount of feta. Only go here if you have no real personality and rely on gratification from others for dining at expensive spots.
good enough. its comparatively expensive ps service charges. my sandwich was v tasty (tex max focaccia )9/10. other one (ciabatta sandwich)was 7/10,chicken was good too

Although we were kidnapped here from parking but it was worthwise 😀, realy enjoyed outdoor seating. Not over crowded, and ambience was cozy and inviting. The food was absolutly delicious, we ordered Halwa poori, qeema paratha and cheese omlette. The service was impressive and quick. Overall i highly recommond this resturent for family breakfast.
Good place for bfast. Halwa puree and variety of parathas are Available. Tea is good
Please calculate your bill by yourself. Unfortunately in this area they calculate wrong.
Baithak is a wonderful place to go with family and friends. The food is super delicious. And there is a wide variety of breakfast dishes as well as others. The halwa puri in particular is fantastic and I love going there again and again for it. It is undoubtedly one of the best restaurants present in boat basin. Highly recommended.
Baithak Restaurant at Board basin
Very nice place for eating purpose. Providing good quality food . There are also breakfast and dinner and more things. Rates are not too much high but also not too much low ,normal rates . Family hall is also Available with AC conditioner. Both options are available. You can sit with outside with no roof and also sit inside hall with roof and ac conditioner. So I think it's good place . I suggest you once try it . You can enjoy it and if you don't like this place,no matter there are more options are available in this street .
Highly recommended if you are fond of stuffed paratha, Specially chicken cheese Reshmi paratha. I visited on multiple occasions for Breakfast. Tried Chicken Reshmi, BBQ, simple chicken Paratha and
Halwa poori.
Tried Kashmir chai but taste was not upto mark. Although simple chai and lassi were good along with breakfast.
Good place to visit with family members as environment is great and food quality is good within economical price.
Well its located in Clifton Boat Basin Food Street on the service road there is some area where you can park your cars, we ordered reshmi chicken phrata, chicken cheese phrata, halwa puri, tea, coffee & soft drinks. The phratas was delicious but too much oily & halwa puri also delicious n fresh black coffee was average, prices are high. Phrata size was small so it should be bigger as per price value. They do have sitting area inside/outside as well, only one toilet available. Food service timing slow.
Mutton Peshawari karahi was good in taste 👍
But Chicken Makhani Handi was filled up with lot of cream, if you are ordering white handi mention that you want it with less quantity of cream. I think it will be okay after that.

Good ambience, like a study type cafe feel. Some parts reminded me of a library. They have in door smoking section and private study rooms. Food, the steak burger, good really enjoyed, and the chef special chicken burger was so so, good coffee. Pricing is decent.
Visiting from Lahore, one of the great spots for casual dine in.
We had their 3 egg mushroom omlette and it was great. 10/10
For the hot drinks, even after asking for them to make extra hot they were not that hot.
Their house bread is a banger 💯
Must visit and see Mr. Muhammad Umer, great champ
Esquires Coffee is one of the best cafes in Karachi.
From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the warm, welcoming ambiance. The staff are genuinely friendly and attentive, making the whole experience feel personal and relaxed. Their menu offers a great variety—from expertly crafted coffees to delicious pastries and light bites. I tried their club sandwich, cappuccino and mint lemonade. Club sandwich and cappuccino were outstanding. However, I am not a big fan of their mint lemonade. Anyways, It’s the kind of place where you can unwind, work, or catch up with friends comfortably. Definitely one of my go-to spots now!
They have a great environment and the food quality is excellent.
I'm a tourist here in Pakistan and usually the service in Pakistan is good but not here I found it poor. I don't consider this place as a representative of Pakistan we usually have a great experience in Pakistan but not in this place. We traveled some distance to have coffee here which was a mistake. I publicly declare that I promise never to come here again and will also ask friends and family not to come here.
The ambiance is excellent, the service is great, and the food is delicious. They offer a wide variety of breakfast options, and the coffee menu is extensive. I highly recommend this place for a delightful family breakfast or just a coffee and a chat. Loved it!
So, last night i visited to Esquires cafe and we ordered their stuffed chicken, which i will rate 7/10. Now let’s come to their most running sandwich “Esquires club sandwich” which tasted like a trash, idk what’s wrong with their food quality, i felt like that sandwich only tasted like a cucumber tbh. I will not recommend their Esquires club sandwich to anyone, i will rate 1/10. Also, i ordered their Affogato coffee, which was another disaster, totally a trash, it tasted more like a banana shake, i will rate 1/10.
Espresso’s Affogato is 10/10⭐️

We had an amazing experience at Espresso Level 2! Our waiter, Sunil, recommended the Meatball Pizza, which was their top recommendation, and it was absolutely out of this world! The flavors were spot on, and it truly lived up to the hype. Big props to Sunil for suggesting it!
For dessert, we had the Lava Cake, which was also really nice, although it was a bit small for the price.
Sunil's service was top-notch - he was super nice, helpful, and provided excellent customer service throughout our visit. His attentiveness and friendly demeanor added a lot to our overall experience.
Overall, we'd definitely recommend Espresso Level 2 for their delicious food and great service. Can't wait to come back!

Visited Espresso yesterday and found the ambiance quite pleasant, relaxing and well-suited for a casual outing. However, the food experience was a mixed bag. The pizza was enjoyable, but the chicken mushroom steak lacked flavor, and the coffee was disappointingly bland. We had to return the coffee twice before it was finally made right. The highlight of the visit was definitely the chocolate chip cookie served with ice cream—it was delicious. Overall, a fairly average experience with room for improvement, especially in terms of consistency and taste.
Food is quite average, I wouldn't say its "a value for money".
The space was quite congested.
I would recommend Spicy Ranch Pizza , its not spicy btw.
Chicken steak and grilled Herb chicken tasted the same.
Fresh seasonal juice is good.
Everything was freshly made and just perfect! Always love their coffee!
I did miss the “smartphone box” though from olden golden days
The Margherita Pizza was good. However, the pasta was 6/10 for me. Not something I would have again. I don’t think so I will be visiting this place anytime soon. The service was very slow too! Even though the place wasn’t crowded.
Went there for a coffee and dessert . Wasn't really impressed. The service was slow . Although they gave us 2 bowl of fries as a compensation. Wasn't really impressed with the quantity of scoop of gelato for rs 550 o above as in the picture
At Espresso, the coffee lacked flavor, the lasagne was dry, and the cookie dough wasn’t as gooey as expected. However, the service was good enough as the server was kind enough to fix my coffee.
Espresso is a great place to dine. The staff was welcoming, attentive, and very knowledgeable about the menu, which made ordering easy. The food was fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared—definitely worth the slightly higher price. The ambience was calm, comfortable, and not noisy, making it a pleasant spot to enjoy a meal. Overall, an excellent dining experience that I’d recommend to anyone looking for good food and great service.

Nice and tidy place. Food was good. Tried a few things liked all of them. Chicken stripes were tender n no extra oil outside/inside. Pizza was very nice. Chicken parmigiana was OK, its actually better in other places so pomo should up the game. Pasta was also good n refreshing. Food was too mucb for the two of us soo we had to take almost half of order order home. I recommend to go in group of 4 or more to enjoy more things without wasting any food or money.
Whoever wants to eat here please check that the food doesn’t really vibe with the restaurant, you can find better pasta at xanders or loco. Pizza is too cheesy but not exactly like margarita ( dominos does a better job at this). Tomato sauce in the pasta is like really bland. Anyway do try your luck at this place mine didn’t work.
First trip to Pomo was a poor one: the Caesar salad was ordinary and famous burrata cheese Pizza different but meatball pizza was a big let down. They sprinkled some minced meat but the balls were surely missing....pun intended! No card discount either made it a bad experience 😕 Main positive was open kitchen and decor.
Xanders , Collette and Famous Os are better options.....yummier and cheaper thanks to perpetual bank discounts.
Have a chance to have breakfast here.
The menu is based on Italian food, expert in pasta and pizzas.
Also have some good items in breakfast
Overall really enjoyed the food and dine experience. Good fresh ingredients authentic Italian style. Even the breakfast menu is a good addition.
The stars are the tomato soup, classic burrata, any pizza really neapolitan, scrambled eggs, ricotta pancakes and beignet
Had a really bad experience with this place the pizza was tasteless it was burnt and smelled and tasted like that ! It was totally BLAND without any taste. I had the caprissiosa on their recommendation that they claimed to be the best
The ambience wasn’t great either
Overall I wouldn’t even rate it 5/10
I’m leaving a bad review as the food is expensive and the AcS were not working given the price you pay for the food. The cannoli was a fail the biscuit was so good only to be ruined by overfilled cheap raw custard that just ruined the taste of the whole thing. I expect more from POMO please look into it

The quality of the food at Colette has significantly improved over time. On the first visit, the food was not satisfactory, but recent experiences have been great. The tuna tacos are enjoyable and the grilled prawns are excellent. However, there was a problem with the crepe as it was burnt. On a positive note, the croissant pudding was delicious and the burger was decent.
It was overly crowded and a bit on the expensive side, but the food was so delicious I practically licked the plate! Their pesto crepes 🥙 were incredibly tasty—just thinking about them makes my mouth water. I’ll definitely be coming back!

We went for brunch yesterday. The ambience was nice, and there was no wait. Our server, Usman, was courteous and attentive. The food we ordered was good; however, the Korean chicken was terrible, caused food poisoning, and was poorly made.
Overall a nice place however unlikely to return.
Colette was an exceptional experience from start to finish! The vibe was cozy, perfect for both casual brunches and special dinners. The blueberry ricotta lemon pancakes were so good; fluffy, tangy, and sweet in the most addictive way. I still can’t stop thinking about them!
Great food, okayish-ly service though, but beautiful vibe overall. Definitely a must-visit!
Xander’s has long held the distinction of being my absolute favorite restaurant in Karachi, so upon discovering that they had launched a new culinary venture, I felt an immediate and irresistible urge to explore it.
I’ve always loved a well-made, slightly indulgent breakfast, it really sets the tone for the rest of my day. So this morning, I visited “Colette by Xander’s” and ordered their Caramelized Brioche French Toast. It was fantastic!! 😍 The dish was beautifully complemented by maple syrup, raspberry coulis, and fresh banana slices. I also requested a side of Nutella sauce, which elevated the entire composition into a truly decadent experience. Without exaggeration, I can confidently say it was the finest brioche French toast I’ve ever encountered 😋❤️ perfectly thick yet irresistibly airy, with a melt-in-your-mouth texture that brought each layered flavor to life.
I had a strawberry and banana milkshake alongside it, which paired really well with the meal. Both the food and drink were delicious, and I left feeling genuinely happy and satisfied.
Even a few hours later, I could still recall the flavors, it really left an impression. I’m already planning to go back a few more times in coming days.
The ambiance was warm and inviting, with an outdoor seating area for those inclined toward al fresco dining. However, given Karachi’s sweltering heat, I opted for the comfort of the air-conditioned interior. I loved the morning energy, the quiet buzz of conversation, the movement of the city just starting to wake up, and of course, the amazing food. It all came together to create such a refreshing and lively vibe.
I genuinely love this place ❤️
(Ps: they also have amazing coffee options but I didn’t try their coffee today as I had other coffee plans but I’m looking forward to having coffee here in my next visit)
I am doing love with Colette . Great service, delicious food and above all , I didn’t have a stomach upset or stomach ache after having their food. Mr Sanaullah was really helpful when I had to order sandwiches for my husband and he got them delivered also in 35 minutes.
Tried their chicken dishes , noodles , tomato soup and my hot favorite Berry Mojito. All super good. 👍👍👍
One of my favourite places to hangout with friends and family. Recently tried their Dan Dan Noodles from their specials menu. They are definitely worth the bucks - delicious and flavourful. Their cranberry chicken sandwich is a fav with iced peach tea
Disappointing service and poor attentiveness. The experience didn’t feel worth the price—Xanders is significantly better. Despite arriving earlier, I saw two customers who ordered after me, receive and finish their meals before mine even arrived. Basic breakfast essentials like butter and jam weren’t served, and I had to request them separately. I repeatedly asked for extra bread, but the servers kept forgetting. There’s no proper feedback system, and even after requesting to speak with the manager, no one showed up. Meal portions are also noticeably smaller compared to Xanders, making it a poor value for money. Wouldn’t recommend.
5.5/10
I appreciate the service and atmosphere, but I have to be honest — we found the food very underwhelming. For the price, we expected much better quality and flavor. Pastas doesn’t include chicken we had to bought it selected. Unfortunately, the dishes were quite tasteless and didn’t feel worth what we paid. I hope this feedback is taken constructively, as we were really hoping for a better experience.

Best place to have tea in an open-air atmosphere with sea winds. Unfortunately, the tea never matches the level of its location 😕 also service needs to be improved aswell.
I am a big fan of its chicken chantni roll. They always prepare it fresh. Ouyside chairs badly need to be changed to new and good coloring.
Had a terrible experience at Cafe Clifton. The pizza smelled bad, and the chowmein was like noodles dipped in gravy — no proper taste. On top of that, service was extremely slow, and staff were careless. Faced the same issues on previous visits too. Not recommended for family dining.
Cafe Clifton has a cozy vibe and a decent menu to choose from. The coffee was good, and the staff were friendly enough, but the service felt a bit slow during my visit. The food was average—nothing too special, but not bad either. Prices are reasonable for the area. It’s a fine spot if you’re nearby, but I wouldn’t go out of my way for it.
No doubt there was rush n parking was also full the sitting arrangement was not good which effected the whole atmosphere government has to maintain the whole area for which the public has to follow the rules
It's always a pleasure to eat nashta here
Had their halwa puri & chicken cheese paratha both were good !!
Had their qeema paratha too but I wish they would change their cheese
For chai we had an outdoor sitting bcz if you dine in and order chai they will charge u 150 while if u directly take it from outside it's 80 ( I know it's sounds ridiculous haha)
Really good place for morning outing with family & friends 🙌🏻 8/10
I visit Café Clifton regularly with friends, and we always enjoy the food and service. We usually sit outside, so I can’t say much about the inside atmosphere, but the overall experience is always pleasant.
Their tea is excellent – fresh and full of flavour. Among the food, I especially like the chicken tikka, chicken chutney roll, daal fry, and malai boti. Everything is cooked well, served hot, and full of taste.
The service is also very good. Staff are friendly and helpful. I’d like to mention Jamsheed in particular – he’s polite, attentive, and always makes sure we’re taken care of.
Café Clifton is a great place for tasty food, quick service, and a relaxed outdoor setting. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for good desi food in a casual spot.
Cafe Clifton sits in the leafy Saba Commercial area on Khayaban‑e‑Shamsheer in Clifton. Tucked beside the sea, it delivers a pleasant fusion of casual outdoor dining and Karachi’s coastal charm. The fresh sea breeze, outdoor seating, and informal footpath café-style setup combine to create a welcoming ambiance that’s perfect for both morning tea or a relaxed evening hangout.
I visited on a clear evening and appreciated their signature breakfast items—especially the Nutella paratha and chicken‑cheese paratha—which were flavorful, generously portioned, and beautifully grilled. Their tea and coffee stand out too: a rich, aromatic chai with just the right sweetness level and well-crafted hot beverages.
The staff were courteous and quick to assist, though during busier periods outdoor seating could get cluttered, and cleanliness around the tables could use more attention. Pricing is reasonable, especially given the seaside location and food quality. A few stations for ordering could help streamline service on weekend mornings.
Overall, Cafe Clifton left me with a positive impression. It’s ideal for casual meet‑ups, family breakfasts, or even a solo coffee break while enjoying Clifton’s breezy atmosphere. A few tweaks in service and upkeep could further enhance this gem along the Clifton strip. Highly recommend giving it a try!

Nasir Sweets Bakers & Nimco is one of the best places in Karachi for halwa puri and nimco items. The puris are always fresh and crispy, the halwa is rich and flavorful, and the chana sabzi adds the perfect spice. Their nimco and bakery items are also top quality with authentic taste. A great place for breakfast .
Halwa Puri was good in quality and Taste, normally I don't like aalo tarkari but their aalo tarkari is also really tasty,
I don't like achar with this meal but their Achaar is also good I love it, it includes anion pieces and looks clean and fresh.
The serving style is also good, just taking token is annoying and if needed more items on your seat it's very complicated 😂 because staff don't look to the tables.
Overall Okay but service needs to be improve. Waiters need training. I just want to know why self service at Breakfast? Just need to know that reason? Why? Why? Why? Why i need to pay first and then take my tray and find a place to sit somewhere and then eat? Why? What are waiters doing??
It has one of the best halwa puri in Karachi, but the sitting place is not in good condition, could be better and maintained.
I recently had breakfast at Nasir Sweets and Bakers and tried their beef qeema kachori. Unfortunately, the taste was underwhelming, and I would rate it a 4/10. They also offer their signature halwa poori, which seems to be a popular option among customers. One downside is the lack of available parking, which can make visiting the place a bit inconvenient. While the variety is appealing, there's room for improvement in both taste and accessibility.
They have great taste and services but they need to revamp their shop to compete it's neighbors.

It was so excessively oily that even after wrapping it in three paper and several tissues, they were completely soaked with oil. I ended up vomiting after eating just half of it. It was disgusting! When I complained, they only offered me more papers to absorb the oil.
Miral is now Nile Restaurant I try BBQ Platter And Thali non veg food was Good Quality And Taste. Improve Serve the food quickly, The rest of the Restaurant is good.

Miraal Restaurant located at Bahadurabad I tried their
Chatkhara bbq platter and chicken strips is so gorgeous tasty and delicious. In very reasonable price. Cool and pretty ambaince . Service and management is so coperative.
Had an amazing breakfast at miraal Restaurant. I tried their lassi, poori platter and pizza paratha and everything was absolutely delicious. The lassi was fresh and chilled, the poori platter was packed with flavors and the pizza paratha was a must try. I highly recommend it to everyone🤌❤️
Service was very very slow. Food was yummy. Laal ata poori was good. Mexican cheese omelette was delicious. Tea was below average.
We have waited approx 20 to 25 mins for order then after finishing our breakfast they have served the tea.
Improvement required w.r.t services.
Overall its was a good experience.
If you are planning to go on sunday then keep i n mind that you have to wait outside for approx 15 mins.
Suggestion: Seats should be available for the customers who are on waiting. Service should be fast. Tea needs alot of improvement.

Paul Bakery & Cafe offers a basic but decent breakfast menu, featuring omelettes, bread, French toast, and coffee. The cafe is conveniently located in DHA Phase 6, Karachi and provides a pleasant ambiance for casual dining or enjoying a coffee break. While the food quality is good, some visitors have noted minor issues such as flies and limited payment options. Overall, it's considered to be a good value for money with decent taste, quality, and portion sizes.
"5/5 stars! Perfect cup of coffee time! Paul Cafe truly knows how to brew a great cup. Highly recommended
"Paul Cafe's coffee is like a warm hug on a busy day - it wraps you in comfort and energizes you to take on the world!"

"PAUL Bakery and Cafe is a delightful spot! I ordered the Steak and Eggs, and it was a treat. The poached eggs were perfectly cooked, and the prime beef fillet was tender. The artisan bread added a nice crunch, and the hollandaise sauce was rich and creamy. The mixed greens and roasted potatoes complemented the dish well.
- Coffee: 7/10 (good, but not exceptional)
- Breakfast: 8/10 (loved the steak and eggs!)
- Service: 9/10 (friendly and attentive staff)
- Ambiance: 9/10 (cozy and inviting atmosphere)
Overall, a great spot for a delicious breakfast or brunch. Highly recommend the Steak and Eggs!"
Recently had breakfast there. I ordered the Eggs Benedict with turkey ham and a smoked chicken sandwich. The Eggs Benedict was quite enjoyable, and it came with a side of butter and jam—an unusual but interesting addition!
As for the smoked chicken sandwich, while it was slightly on the dry side, it still tasted good. The service was commendable—efficient and attentive.
Overall, it's a decent spot for breakfast if you're in the area.
Paul is a charming French bakery known for its artisan breads, seasonal fruit tarts, delicious sandwiches, and a wide variety of coffee options. The quality of the baked goods really stands out, and the presentation is always on point.
I tried the sourdough bread, which had a perfect crust and a soft, tangy interior—definitely one of the better sourdoughs I’ve had recently. The strawberry tart was fresh and flavorful, with a buttery crust and sweet strawberries. I also tried the San Sebastian cheesecake, which was rich, creamy, and balanced in flavor—definitely worth a try.
Overall, it’s a great café for anyone who enjoys high-quality baked goods. I’d give the baked items and tarts an 8/10.
As for pricing, it leans toward the expensive side. It’s clear that Paul is catering to an upper-middle-class crowd, and you’ll notice that in the prices. I’d rate the pricing 6/10—not very budget-friendly, but you do get quality for what you pay.
Tried for the first time on a recommendation, and I must say, the quality of food, service and ambiance was 10/10, the way their staff respects you, serves you and welcomes you is commendable. The quality of food was very good. We ordered stuffed French toast, penne arabica pasta, hot chocolate with salted caramel and cold coffee( almost forget which type it was, pardon me)
Iove their food and must try food. Worth visiting & have a quality time with your loved ones. Hats off to Paul bakery staff & chef
We gave Paul another try, but unfortunately, our experience didn't live up to our previous visits. The club sandwich was over toasted, and the service was slow. When we informed the server, she seemed more worried about her performance metrics than addressing the issue. We were disappointed by the manager's lack of concern for customer feedback. It's clear that Paul's has room for improvement. We hope they'll take our feedback constructively and work towards regaining their reputation for quality food and service.
Visited many times. Our go to place that has never failed us.
Be it breakfast or lunch or dinner or just coffee. We just love going there.
Best deserts thst i forgot to take pictures of.
Most friendly staff.
Went to Paul’s today for breakfast. It took them 40 mins to prep omelette and French toast. When the food finally came one of the omelettes had black residue from the pan. I did not want to wait for another omelette as it was 12 by the time we got our food. Not sure what was the reason behind the delay or the low hygiene of the food but if that’s the stay then it’s not worth going here.

Springs Cafe, situated above Springs Store in Khayaban e Bukhari, offers a delightful breakfast and is a great spot to work from with its early opening hours. The dessert options at breakfast are particularly impressive compared to the savory ones. Despite being located in a grocery store, the cafe surprises with its high standards. Diners have praised dishes like Tuscan Chicken for its well-done chicken, flavorful marinade, and fulfilling tuscan sauce.
Best place for breakfast.
Try to go early on weekends to avoid waiting ....sitting space is less
Overall food is good....
Fatima F — Google review
The food was disappointing. No idea how they haven't closed down already.
Alfredo pasta smelled plastic burning and tasted even worse. Like how can you go wrong with a simple alfredo pasta. Even I can make better pasta and I have never made one before. It was so bad you had to deliberately make it like that cause there is no way you can mess up a simple pasta that bad.
Spicy cajun pasta wasn't good either, very bland, but still better than alfredo.
Mexican Burger (beef) was like 3 bites max and had raw onion inside it??? underwhelming again.
the trio of fries was the only thing that was up to the mark quality wise.
FizUp was a solid 10/10, you should try it if you go to springs. it was definitely better than all their main courses that we had.
Not a 5 star and not a 3 star either.
Nice chill place to go sit and have you breakfast. Mostly Jas waiting, especially during weekends so be aware of that.
Also known for it's hotpot 🍲 but never tried.
Tried only breakfast & coffee.
For a people who eat less can find serving good enough for them. Other than that, it will be less for people who eat a bit more..
Seating place is okayish not much
Few meals in the main course really serves the taste..
The food at Springs was quite bland overall, with the only noticeable flavor coming from the Cajun pasta and the roast beef sandwich. It’s a decent spot for a one-time visit.
I got the Taragon chicken, it was yummy but the other dish was kinda dry.. still a good experience.
Really like the atmosphere of this cafe. Service is good too. Waqas ali was our server and we had a really nice experience at this cafe also this cafe has all the good flavours for the people of North. Really love itt ✨💕

Siroc is a top choice for those looking for a laid-back ambiance and exceptional Turkish cuisine. While it may be on the pricier side, the attentive staff and impressive food presentation make it well worth it. It's important to keep in mind that the dishes are meant for individual servings when placing your order. Whether you're seeking something new or simply craving high-quality Turkish food, Siroc is an excellent option to consider.
The food ambiance and service all were top notch. Our server Abid Ali was super receptive to what we needed and we were happy with our service. A 10/10 first time visit!

Yesterday evening visited Siroc with my colleagues and had a wonderful experience. The ambiance was fantastic, with great vibes and excellent decor. The food was equally impressive – the starters and main courses were served piping hot, and the desserts were truly delightful. Everything came together perfectly for an enjoyable dining experience. Will definitely be visiting again!
We went out for dinner to celebrate the birthday. The restaurant was crowded, but we had made a reservation, so we got a table. The food was okay. The Adana kebab was good, the lamb kofta was decent, and the hummus was also reasonable. Overall, the taste of the food wasn’t anything special — it was average. The parking is fine, but everyone who goes there knows that due to the large number of restaurants and the poor condition of the road, the area is congested and there’s always traffic on the road.
Great place for lunch or dinner. Food is good, but I'll rate the service and ambiance higher. My favourite is batata hara and the kunafa. They also serve food for kids, which is great. The food presentation and decor is lovely. Staff is well trained and polite. Will go again!
Went with my friends and this is one of the best Mediterranean food i had in karachi. We ordered mezze platter, pizza, chicken and mix meat platter. For desert kunafah which was really amazing. The food was delicious. Starter was on spot. The chicken spice had local touch. A bit improvement needed on mutton chomps marination taste. Service is professional and prompt - a bit miss and there. What they really need to work on is on AC ventilation on top floor specially on the corner table beside the window as it gets hot and the air blow of split is getting distracted by roof bulb. Overall recommended
Service is excellent with food being average. The French toasts are the pick of the menu. The chicken is quite tasteless. Ambience is decent
Wonderful food and wonderful people, need to work on the decor & seating.
Went there after around 2 years and wasnt expecting it swipe me off my feets, everything was so good (except pide) i was so amazed. Must try falafel bowl and mutton ribs platter.
Need to up their pide game that was the only low point of the whole experience.
Speaking about the people, the staff was excellent in service as well as courteous. All and all a satisfying night at the blue & white.
Pakistani restaurants will never disappoint you in their inconsistency in terms of service.
The staff including the manager needs massive training.
We tried getting a reservation only to be told that no reservations are taken for sundays. Despite, on walking we were told to sit outside since the majority of the tables were reserved. Clearly the team was lying. Fans were not working and despite various reminders the staff were clueless.
Food took some time to deliver but didn't disappoint. The platters were nice but the mezze platter was meh.
Meat BBQ platter was a little burnt but it happens. Shawarma was very dry. And btw they charge for bread basket , which shouldn't be the case.
Sweet dishes were ordered but only to be told that they were not available, so we changed. Kunafa was nicely done, so full marks to the chef.
Overall staff along with the manager seems to be under trained. Tissues were provided as per pic. Service levels were pretty low. And not to forget the annoying loud birthday music playing.. Disappointing to see that owners are not investing in the staff. Not hopping back anytime soon.

Yum by Amna Cafe in Karachi has gained a reputation as one of the top spots for breakfast. They open at 8am and are known for their perfectly made scrambled eggs. Visitors have praised the exceptional parmesan chicken and cajun pasta, along with impressive margaritas and coffee. The staff is highly courteous and professional, enhancing the positive ambiance. Despite being crowded at times, the cafe efficiently accommodates guests, ensuring great service.
Yum by Amna truly lives up to its name! Every dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. We tried the Cajun Parmesan Pasta and Chicken With Mushrooms & Parmesan Sauce, and everything was perfectly cooked. The ambiance is cozy and elegant, and the staff were incredibly courteous and attentive. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a quality pasta experience in a chic setting!
Madiha T — Google review
Wifey wanted to go here for a while so we had a little anniversary dinner. Food was top-notch, fresh and flavorful - ordered the Red Snapper which was succulent and zesty along with Penne Pasta that had its pungent taste but was recommend the French Onion chicken which was unique with mash potato base with chicken on top and then cheese melted - highly recommend those who like the sautéed taste. Desert with Pistachio cheesecake was perfect with its consistency and wasn't overly sweet which is always a bad thing!
Only downside was order a noodles pasta dish for my son and mentioned to not keep it spicy but mild - they messed up but quickly produced a Fettuccine Alfredo alternative for him and he was happy.
Seating is a bit tight but its a popular place so it is what it is. Great staff who showed care for customer service.
All in all - highly recommended but wanna visit again to check out the breakfast/brunch experience.
Cafe Yum By Amna or more like Suffocation By Amna.
We ordered:
Shaved Beef Sandwich: The size was very small and looked like a bakery panini. But the taste was good.
Spinach and Cheese Stuffed Chicken with mashed potato and sauteed veg: This was mine and the quantity was good. I dug my fork into the simmering chicken to cut it, but pieces were already made. Thank you for that. I could feel spinach and cottage cheese treating my tastebuds.
Ambience:
It's such a small cafe, where even the basement seating is no better. My mistake, I took the waiter's suggestion of sitting down in the basement seriously. You can literally overhear other conversations and do nothing about it. Neither there was sufficient light to take crisp pictures nor proper cooling.
Should have thought of giving enough space between two tables instead of making customers feel as if they entered an overcrowded bus. Please work on your seating.
Overall, a one-time experience and even if I come next time, I will make sure I sit on the main floor.
Total: Rs 4428
Pathetic service and food quality!! What is the hype about seriously?
We ordered:
Hunter beef sandwich 6/10 (sandwich and fries were cold. I’m not sure if this is one of the cold sandwich range but I don’t think it should be)
Parmesan chicken 2/10 (too oily chicken. Not tender at all)
The food was so average in taste. Few more things to mention.
1. We saw a cockroach coming out of the kitchen. Which was the first red flag.
2. The table was not cleaned before they let us dine in. We asked the waiter to clean it and honestly he just threw the table particles on us while “cleaning” it with a bare tissue.
3. The cutlery provided was not clean either. The fork had tomato sauce stuck on it. The plate had some spices remnants.
4. We asked them to serve drinks first but we got the drinks half way through the meal. That too after reminding them twice.
5. Although we dined in, they served the drinks in plastic takeaway cups.
Total damage 6k with drinks which was definitely not worth it.
I went for a breakfast with kids. Food was top notch. "I liked the waffles it was crunchy with nuttella" commented my 7 yrs old. Space is just overcrowded but ok.
Yum by Amma experience is absolutely opposite of what the cafe looks like.
We decided to go to this restaurant completely on the vibes ( which was a bad idea). On entering we were warmly welcomed by the staff but we're disappointed by the cafe space. The place itself felt suffocated and congested . We decided to order after prolonged overthinking. We order Parmesan chicken panini which was absolutely bland in taste. Marinara sauce was very unseasoned and I don't know how is that even possible. I could hardly find any seasoning in the chicken as well. Pasta was 5/10 I'm not happy with the pasta that we chose to order on the waiter's recommendation. The chicken was crispy but not enough seasoning . The sauce was good but the pasta felt overcooked as it felt less chewy and more on the softer side and it kept slipping from the fork ( I don't know if some of you might find this as exaggeration when it's not ) .
Overall the bill came down to 4k+( when paid with cash) and we paid 3779( paid with card). I'm not happy with the food that we were served and I'm not happy with them being overpriced for the quality of food that was being served.
Breakfast was amazing. The English muffin breakfast sandwich was the start of the show. Banana bread with Nutella and some sort of crunch was fantastic. They could add more variety to the bread basket
It has been our go-to and remains so. Fantastic flavours. French onion is chicken is bomb!

Olive Tree Bistro Bakery Tipu Sultan is a fresh addition to the local dining scene, aiming to enhance the successful elements of its predecessor, Test Kitchen. While still establishing itself, it has already made a mark with its breakfast offerings. The breakfast plate featuring fluffy scrambled eggs, perfectly seared beef, mushrooms, and a generous sprinkle of parmesan cheese is particularly noteworthy.
I really enjoyed my experience here. The food was excellent, my favorite was the fish and chips sandwich, which was absolutely delicious. The service was also very pleasing, attentive, and welcoming. Although it’s a bistro, it has a fine, dining feel, which made the atmosphere even better. I also loved their Margherita pizza, along with the desserts and bakery items.Overall, a great place that I would definitely visit again! Also, the drinks were good too.

Went with 4 friends for a dinner , bread basket was great starter which was free, I was recommended seasonal salad and it was very delicious, Jamaican Jerk chicken was finger licking good , pizza was excellent, thin & crispy just the way I like it , Rose pasta was recommended by the server with was also great , Steak sliders were so juicy and tender. Brazilian lemonade was excellent, a must try !!
For dessert we shared a slice of salted caramel chocolate tart which was a perfect ending to delicious meal.
We went there for breakfast today. While the breakfast items on their menu were fairly limited but one can order from the whole menu which was great. We ended up ordering halloumi tacos from the appetizer menu and the Yemeni lehsa from the egg section. Both dishes were yummy.
Would be great to see some tea options in the drinks menu. The lipton tea bag is a sad tea to have with a good breakfast. Karak tea or doodh patti could be lovely additions to the menu.
Service could've been better today. Had to ask at least thrice for some extra bread.
On the whole good experience.
I recently visited Olive Tree with high expectations, but unfortunately, the food fell short of the mark. We ordered their top-recommended pizza and pasta dishes, but both were below average. The pasta was particularly disappointing - it was bland and lacked any significant flavor.
The spicy chicken sandwich was a bit better in terms of taste, but still not impressive enough. Overall, the food quality wasn't up to par, which was a letdown.
The service was okay, and the atmosphere of the restaurant was nice. However, the location has its downsides - the gate is situated opposite a KElectric substation, and there were some uncomfortable interactions with men outside who seemed to be staring.
Really enjoyed breakfast at Olive Tree. Our kids loved the cookies and brownies. Their comments were ‘these are the best cookies in Pakistan’. Thanks to chef Hamza the food tastes really nice we ordered French toast and chicken croissant sandwich. The staff is really nice and welcoming. Mr Mehbood took our order who was very polite, welcoming and looked very professional.
Highly recommended!
I had an amazing experience at Olive Tree Restaurant! Our food arrived within just 15 minutes. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive. The highlight of our visit was the chef, who went above and beyond by accepting our request for a custom strawberry dessert. Not only did they make it for us, but it turned out beautifully and tasted incredible!
The entire experience felt special. Highly recommended!
Tried steak beef returns, lamb shank risotto, shrimp tacos and tomato carpaccio. Food was great and service was great even better. Lovely experience and service size was generous!
I had an average experience over there. The food served was not as good as it was expected with respect to the price paid. The chicken serving size in the crispy chicken sandwich was a not even a quarter inch thick. Although the olive tree beef burger was great loved it.
Service was average. The ambience could be made better with a little bit more of lighting.

Whether you're in the mood for a rich cup of coffee, refreshing juices, or light snacks, this cafe has it all. With an impressive selection of coffees and teas alongside fresh smoothies crafted from top-notch ingredients, every visit promises an exquisite experience. Many travelers find it to be their go-to retreat for a relaxing break during their stay at Ramada Plaza Karachi.
I recently visited the Opera Café at the Ramada and, as always, thoroughly enjoyed my experience. This café has consistently provided me with excellent coffee, making it a go-to spot for a relaxing break whenever I'm at the Ramada. It's an excellent place to unwind if you need a quiet and comfortable environment to enjoy your coffee.
The café's menu is straightforward, offering sandwiches, burgers, coffee, and drinks. Additionally, they have a selection of cakes and muffins available at the counter. I've ordered their burgers a few times, and they've consistently been good—juicy, flavorful, and well-prepared.
However, my experience with their sandwiches has been mixed. While most of them haven't impressed me, their grilled cheese tomato sandwich stands out as a delightful exception. It's deliciously cheesy with the perfect balance of tomato flavor, making it a satisfying choice.
Overall, the Opera Café at the Ramada is a wonderful spot for coffee lovers seeking a peaceful and comfortable place to relax. Despite some shortcomings in their sandwich offerings, the quality coffee, tasty burgers, and pleasant atmosphere make it well worth a visit.

My stay at Ramada Plaza Karachi was pleasant overall. The location, just minutes from the airport, was ideal for my transit. The grounds were well-kept and the poolside area relaxing. I also enjoyed varied dining options and found most of the staff to be professional and helpful. However, some areas like washrooms felt dated, and the Wi‑Fi was occasionally unreliable. For the price point, some value expectations seemed unmet. Still, it's a convenient option especially if you're focused on location and service.
I had a pleasant stay at Ramada Plaza Karachi Airport. The location is perfect, just minutes from the airport. The staff was very polite and helpful. The breakfast was delicious with a good variety. The room was comfortable, and the overall environment was peaceful and clean. Highly recommended for travelers!
I visit here weekly with my husband and I overall like the inexpensive desserts with a decent variety. The ice cream was good. I loved the strawberry mouse cake slice and also the plain cheesecake was outstanding. Every time I visit there are new type of dessert options.The coffee was okay as well. Ramada has a couple of good options to eat and it is a must visit place once atleast.
Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Karachi Airport Hotel is completely like a home. Their services, calm atmosphere and fantastic food can't be compare with any other hotel. I'll recommend you to must stay at Ramada Plaza.
Opera Cafe is the place where I got the best taste of Coffee in Karachi. We were there for a Chefs competition and had to wait for two hours here, so the best choice to sit and wait in Ramada Plaza was one and only Opera Cafe.
We ordered two Cappuccino , which was incredibly amazing & strong as my taste. But the prices increased here more than 20% as compare to the last time, we had to pay 1050/- for a couple of Coffees.
Ambience, service and atmosphere is so nice, and best for the people who wants a calm place for business meetings with a nice coffee. Opera Cafe is fully ♿Accessible for Wheelchairs and for the people with different abilities.
Assalamu Alaikum friends,
Ramadan Plaza provides excellent service and delivers top-quality work. I highly recommend that you visit this place and also check out their hotel. Their work is truly amazing and outstanding.

Such an aesthetically pleasing spot providing a breakfast menu all day. The pancakes were a massive hit with the kids and the omelettes were beautifully presented and delicious. Spanish latte was probably my favourite that I’ve tried in Karachi. They also provided colouring pencils for the kids which kept them occupied.
Staff were attentive and lovely and the manager very efficient. Would definitely recommend Khudee for the presentation, cleanliness, taste and of course, what it stands for!
Visited this place for breakfast on Saturday and everything exceeded expectations. From the food quality and taste to the beautiful presentation, everything was top notch. The ambience was cozy and inviting, and the service was warm and attentive. A truly delightful experience. Will definitely be coming back.
It's an amazing initiative by KVTC. The staff has sunflower pin badges. The restaurant is small but it's aesthetically decorated, especially the outside. The service was great. There are a lot of desserts and a few sandwiches available for takeout too. I ordered the smokey red chicken sandwich and the creamy tomato pasta (it is available in prawn and chicken but I ordered it in chicken). The sandwich was served with fries and salad. It was a little dry but the sauce it came with was amazing, I'd give it an 8/10. The pasta was hands down one of the best I've had in Karachi. It was creamy and extremely delicious, I will definitely come back to have it again, 9.5/10. The opera cake would be a 7/10, not exactly my type. Lucky was a lovely and extremely friendly host. I had an amazing time here
Khudee is not just a café — it’s a place with a heart. Their mission of training and empowering differently-abled individuals in hospitality is truly inspiring, and you can feel that warmth the moment you walk in. The design is modern, but it’s the people who make it special. We were welcomed by Kashif, the kitchen manager, and Miraal, who took care of us with such kindness and professionalism.
We came as a group of 12 and shared many dishes. The Sultan’s Spread set the tone — a generous platter that felt celebratory and perfect for sharing. The Prawn & Avocado Salad was light and refreshing, while the Asian Chicken Bowl and Chipotle Beef Bowl were full of flavor and satisfying. The Beef Steak Sandwich was hearty and well-prepared, and the Signature Hot Dog was fun and comforting. The Ramen Bowl felt like a hug in a bowl, while the Creamy Tomato Pasta was rich and indulgent.
Desserts were a highlight — the Pistachio Tres Leche was unique and memorable, the Great Wall of Chocolate was pure indulgence, and the seasonal Mango Mousse Sponge Cake added a fresh, vibrant touch.
Yes, the bill was on the higher side, but the generous portions, delicious food, and most importantly, the meaningful mission behind Khudee made it worth every rupee.
⭐ 9/10 — A café that feeds both your appetite and your soul. We’ll definitely be back.
Breakfast was a nice surprise. The food quality was amazing. So many tit bits with main dish that could not finish all of it. Fully recommended 👌 👍 Will sure visit more often
Decided to drop by Khudee and absolutely loved the vibe of the place. I ordered the Herbed Chicken Sandwich, Beef Chipotle Bowl, Iced Caramel Latte, and Tiramisu Cake each one was genuinely delicious, and the flavors were on point.
The café itself is super cute and cozy, perfect for a quick stop, especially with their convenient takeaway options.
The only downside was the family seated next to us, who were speaking really loudly the entire time we were there (about 40-50 minutes).
It made the experience a bit uncomfortable and honestly gave me a bit of a headache. Other than that, everything was great!
The place is quite aesthetic. Prices did not justify the food quality but since it's for a cause, it was okay. Staff was unnecessarily friendly.

Good selection of BBQ in a la carte and buffet style. The ambiance and setting is good, there is bug spray and other remedies being used for mosquitos and other pests. The buffet selection is varied, including chicken, beef, and seafood.
The service is good but there’s room for improvement.
This restaurant can accommodate large groups (15-20) easily as well.

They don’t allow any kind of outside food, even cakes to celebrate birthdays or anniversary.

OD, formerly known as ODonuts, is a surprising spot that offers more than just delicious donuts. Their Khayaban e Seher outlet serves an impressive range of breakfast items that have garnered attention. What sets them apart is their ability to get the essentials right.
Always love their food... n coffee

The pizza was good, so was the service, the staff is cute too
Amazing services, love their frappe.
The standing kiosk does little to assuage the feeling of ‘outside vendor food’. That’s due to paucity of space. The donuts themselves were quite good!
Donuts are good but not exceptional and also very much expensive
Stale donuts wouldn’t recommend to anyone.

This breakfast plate was a delightful balance of flavors and textures! The eggs were perfectly fried with runny yolks and a hint of black pepper that added a nice kick. The sautéed potatoes were crispy on the outside and soft inside — comfort food at its best. The sausages added a savory bite, though a bit on the processed side. The real highlight, however, was the *mushroom sauce omelette* — rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. It elevated the whole meal to another level! The fresh, crunchy salad balanced everything beautifully. Overall, a satisfying and colorful plate to kick-start the day!

This breakfast plate was a delightful blend of flavors and textures! The eggs were perfectly fried, the yolks were soft and the mild pepper on top was delicious. The potatoes were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside — a true desi comfort food. The sausages added a savory flavor, though they felt a bit processed. *The real highlight was the mushroom sauce omelet* — creamy, delicious, and full of flavor, which elevated the entire breakfast. The fresh and crunchy salad provided a nice balance. Overall, this breakfast was a great choice for a great start to the day!

Urdu Review
یہ ناشتہ ذائقے اور ساخت کا ایک شاندار امتزاج تھا! انڈے نہایت خوبصورتی سے فرائی کیے گئے تھے، زردی نرم اور اوپر ہلکی کالی مرچ کا مزہ بہت اچھا لگا۔ آلو باہر سے کرسپ اور اندر سے نرم — بلکل دیسی کمفرٹ فوڈ۔ سوسجز نے نمکین ذائقہ بڑھایا، اگرچہ تھوڑے پراسیسڈ محسوس ہوئے۔ *اصل مزے کی چیز مشروم ساس آملیٹ تھا* — کریمی، مزیدار اور ذائقے سے بھرپور، جس نے پورے ناشتے کا لیول بڑھا دیا۔ تازہ اور کرنچی سلاد نے اچھا توازن پیدا کیا۔ مجموعی طور پر، یہ ناشتہ دن کی شاندار شروعات کے لیے بہترین انتخاب تھا!

Grilled Chicken Alfredo Pesto Pasta:
It was white sauce pasta, rich in flavours, would rate 10/10.
Parmesan Crusted Chicken:
It was not spicy, was served with mashed potatoes, loved the taste, would rate 9/10
Overall: 9.5/10
I ordered Beef Mushroom steak, Double brownie chocolate and Butter scotch cake along with a Sandwich & an Xander Special Beef burger.
1-Beef Mushroom steak:
I found the overall taste to be quite average, starting from steak, it was tough to eat and slice through, so didn't really enjoyed it.
Only its mushroom sauce tasted good but the rest was disappointing.
2-Xander Special Beef burger.
It tasted quite average and was dry in between, I had a way better burger in Butlers cafe, so really sad to see this.
3-Double brownie, chocolate and Butter scotch cake:
Didn't see any melted chocolate, it tasted way worse than other average cakes, even though I had ordered the same cake in other Xander branch near Habit, which tasted amazing, but I just wasted money by ordering this as well.
Don't order the cake, it's a waste of money.
I really had high expectations due my previous experience but left disappointed.
4- Sandwich
It was just ok or average for the price.
Food was good. The ambience was nice. They have indoor and outdoor seating as well. Staff was very courteous and cooperative. The portions could have been better but the quality was good. Quite crowded in lunch hour.
Very busy place wait times can be over an hour..Food is on point always has been..Service is also excellent.
Nice food and good ambiance. Staff was polite and professional.
Had a tasty breakfast here. Menu is varied from your local pakistani favourites to western dishes and a mix of both here and there. Ambience and quality is topnotch. Location is a bit tricky to find as not much signage but your driver should find it easily. Somewhat of an institution in these parts of Clifton
An impressive place with a vibrant and welcoming vibe. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between comfort and style, making it ideal for both casual meals and special occasions. The staff were exceptionally courteous, attentive without being intrusive, and genuinely made us feel valued. Overall, a memorable dining experience that I’d highly recommend to anyone looking for great food and excellent service.

The initial impression of Xander's DHA Bukhari was excellent, as they diligently sanitize each table and seating area after customers leave. The food itself was exquisite, with notable dishes being the Hunter Beef Sandwich and The Cobb Salad accompanied by a Strawberry Cheesecake for dessert. The sandwich's cheese was mouthwatering, while the salad benefited from the addition of babycorn. The cheesecake's crust had a delightful powdery-buttery texture that was thoroughly enjoyed.
Xander’s
Finally tried Babar’s Pasta — the most wanted dish and definitely the talk of the town 🍝. Creamy, rich, and worth the hype.
Also had 2 mini pizzas: Chicken & Basil with Feta, and the Chicken Mushroom Truffle 🍕 — both solid picks with fresh flavors. The Rosemary Butter Steak 🥩 stood out too, cooked well and full of flavor.
For drinks, we went with Ginger Mint Lemonade and a Red Berry Daiquiri 🍹 — refreshing and balanced. And yes, even after all that, our appetite wasn’t done, so we ended with a Club Sandwich.
Overall: Xander’s doesn’t disappoint — variety, quality, and enough on the menu to keep you coming back. 👌
Daniyal G — Google review
Steak was quite hard and tasteless, there was some bad smell coming from mash potatoes. The X burger and prawn grills was extremely good and so was the blue margarita. Just need to work a bit on outside dine-in.
Xander's is consistently amazing! It's my go-to spot because the food is always top-notch, and the service is reliable. Whether it's a casual meal or a special occasion, I always trust Xander's to deliver a fantastic experience. Highly recommended!
The only negative point is that it is too crowded and too much noise!
Xanders consistently proves itself to be one of Karachi's premier dining establishments, not just for its reputation, but for the sheer excellence demonstrated on every plate and in every interaction. Our recent visit was truly outstanding, showcasing a diverse menu executed with remarkable precision.
The service was excellent throughout the evening. From prompt seating to attentive monitoring of our needs, the staff were professional, friendly, and efficient, contributing significantly to a seamless and relaxing dining experience.
What truly impressed us was the kitchen’s ability to master multiple culinary styles. While we had some classic comfort items, the supposed "Italian" dishes and global favorites were equally superb:
Parmesan Crusted Chicken: A signature dish, the chicken was tender and juicy, encased in a perfectly seasoned, crispy Parmesan crust that melted in the mouth.
Orange Chicken: This dish was a revelation. It offered a wonderful sweet-and-savory balance, with perfectly cooked chicken pieces in a bright, sticky orange glaze that was far above typical takeout fare.
Fish and Chips: The ultimate comfort food, the fish was flaky and moist, served in a light, non-greasy batter with excellent chips—a testament to Xanders' dedication to quality, even on the basics.
Paired with excellent drinks, every element of our meal reinforced the fact that Xanders is a world-class restaurant.
Whether you're craving Italian pasta or a global specialty, the food is excellent and promises a memorable meal. Xanders is highly recommended for anyone seeking quality, consistency, and an all-around wonderful night out.
Wow, what a culinary adventure! The Babar pasta was absolutely delicious, and we were genuinely impressed. Then came the chargrilled chateaubriand steak, which unfortunately didn’t meet our expectations—it was a bit of a letdown. But hold on, because the pizza we tried next was also fantastic!
We started with the Babar, thinking it was phenomenal, but then we tasted their Alfredo, and it completely stole the show! It was so remarkable that we were so caught up in the flavor that we forgot to snap a picture! 😋🤭👌 Truly, it was an unforgettable experience!
Xander's ice cream tasted good, but the serving size did not justify the price. It felt 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐝 and left me wishing they offered better value for money.
Honestly, quite 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 😒
I've visited Xander several time and the food is actually good despite a slight decline in the quality offered.
However, sadly I've had to encounter rude staff at the Bukhari Branch once as the waiter practically ignored instructions and made faces when asked for cutlery.
Not only that but during one of the times when I ordered at home I was greeted by an incomplete order and also Pasta that tasted pathetic but I was glad to see that they took efforts to rectify that mistake.
⚡️I recommend the Babar Pasta (ofc) and the Parmesan chicken.
❌️ Stay away from the coffee unless you really want to know what disappointment in a cup means.
Xander’s Cafe has a nice vibe but it’s not without its flaws. Even on weekdays there is a long wait to get a table and once you are in you realize the place is pretty compact. The food tasted good overall with fresh and well seasoned dishes but the fries were a letdown and felt starchy and dry. Service was fine with nothing to complain about. It is worth trying if you do not mind the wait and the tight space but I would not go just for the fries.

Located in a beautifully restored heritage building, Jardin is an exquisite culinary destination that seamlessly combines art, heritage, and gastronomy. This sophisticated restaurant presents a diverse and refined menu with influences from Mediterranean and French cooking traditions. Catering to the most discerning palates, Jardin offers an array of delectable pastries, aromatic coffees, flavorful salads, and hearty main courses.
Had a great experience at Jardin for lunch.
The ambiance is beautiful and the vibe is perfect for a relaxed meal.
The Parmesan Chicken and Grilled Chicken with Feta Cheese Sauce was an absolute hit crispy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked.
Definitely recommend it! The mint lemonade was nice and refreshing, but the pink lady drink was honestly a miss, overly sweet and not well-balanced.
Service was good and the staff was courteous. Overall, a lovely spot with great food just skip the pink lady! :(

So my wife and I decided to trya restaurant we never did, though we had plenty of options but we ended up going to Jardin. And it was our 17th Anniversary.
So they place is quite good in terms of Ambiance, Environment, Sitting space options and Service.
However the food we tried was nothing out of the ordinary considering it's a little pricey restaurant.
We had 2 appetizers, 2 Mains , a Mojito and a Dessert.
Either my expectations were high or the food was just mediocre, in terms of quantity it definitely justified the price but lacks the kick in taste.
My wife had a stuffed chicken with a creamy sauce which she said was good and presentation was on point.
I on the other hand tried a steak which was few pieces of tenderloin, though it was cooked to my liking Medium but the combination of sauce, grilled veggies, cheesy backed potatoes were not complimenting it at all. I did notified the Server that the whole taste of the dish with it's sides was incomprehendible by my taste buds, though I have had my fair share of tasting steaks internationally due to my field of service with F&B organizations.
The drink and Dessert were alright as well.
Overall positive experience but if I am asked to have it again, I have tasted better and probably would go for experience then food.
Karachi has more options which hits the spot.
It was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious — well-prepared, flavorful, and clearly made with care. :)
The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere throughout our visit. The overall environment was warm, clean, and inviting. I would wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great food and excellent service.
Best restaurant I've visited in Karachi. Hands down to the most delicious food, the most courteous staff and the beautiful ambience that made the visit truly memorable. From the moment we stepped foot in the restaurant we were taken care of so well and the captivating dishes not only by taste but also in appearance was the highlight. This is one restaurant I would be visiting so many more times InshaAllah.
I had more expectations, the food was just fine, could have been better. They had lots of options so that was nice.
The drinks were good. Service was good but it was packed so obviously a bit slow. The ambiance was amazing.
I’ve been to this place two or three times and have always had a great experience with both the food and the service. During our recent visit for breakfast, we ordered the Pakistani omelette along with their Peanut Butter Latte. Unfortunately, the latte didn’t meet our expectations. We requested a replacement, and the staff kindly offered us a Vanilla Latte instead, which turned out to be excellent.
I would recommend removing the Peanut Butter Latte from the menu, as its flavor didn’t quite make sense with the meal.
Other than that, everything else was perfect the ambiance is relaxing, and it’s a great spot to sit back and enjoy a meal.
I went to Jardin yesterday and ordered the Caesar salad. For me - it’s the best in town, though this time I felt the portion was a bit smaller than a previous time I had visited.
Service was quite good and waiters were friendly. Ambiance was also nice and the restaurant has a nice cosy vibe.
Only thing I wish was different was the cleanliness. The side plates which were there before I arrived were quite dirty, as were the seats.
Overall would definitely recommend!
I placed an order for sushi and steak burritos. Both dishes were expertly prepared and exceptionally flavorful. The restaurant's ambiance was pleasant, making it an ideal location for a family outing to enjoy the live cooking demonstrations. The staff provided friendly and efficient service..

McDonald's is a classic fast-food chain that has stood the test of time, renowned for its delicious burgers and crispy fries. If you find yourself at an airport, it's the perfect spot for a quick meal. With convenient touchscreen ordering and speedy service, you can grab a bite without missing your flight. Families will appreciate the kid-friendly meals and play area, complete with high chairs to keep little ones entertained while waiting.

The food here was great and the atmosphere was great. The people here were also great. I want to tell everyone to come and enjoy the atmosphere here.
Neat and clean atmosphere and and many types of foods , juices and dessert 🍨 🥧 🍦, happy 😊 to visit there
one of the best and safe place، when you go to Karachi Airport for pick up to someone، McDonald's is of one of the finest place to rest relax eat، all items from burgers till fried chicken from coffee till ice cream you just name it and it will come to you swiftly and quickly hot and fresh weather you want to eat in or you want to use drive thru all options are available، i must say McDonald's is the best، affordable and cost effective۔
Food was served hot.
Zero customer centricity. Staff is causal and non serious. No sanitizer in the dispenser, when asked to refill , they weren’t sure if it’s available in the store. On complaining they had no response except silence and looking away. The guy nipping hit my chair with a mop while I was eating. Can’t believe this quality of service at an international airport.
When we went to airport we go there for quick meals. They have touchscreen to order. Really quick service. Kids meals are really good. Their value meals are good enough for one person. They don't have have all desert They offer. They told me not take photos for review. For airport visitor its a good stop for quick bite. They have high chair and playland for kids. One thing I have noticed They have one attendant in kids area, which i appreciate for health n safety purpose.
It was a good experience while being here with the Family when our flight was delayed. Good Deals... Reasonable Rates, quick preparation. kids enjoy the playing area. Well that's was the positive points. The things that they need to improve is that The Staff need to be welcoming with smiling face and Management need to add more Flies killing Lamps.. They are only taking order on Kiosks installed opposite to counter. Although we are use to it. But concern is about those who are not well known to this system. Specially when it comes to payment option. There were no staff allocated to that area to assist or ask for it.

New dining area was good and food was great, but unfortunately there were nuts in most of the food and no warnings in the menu (e.g cashews in salad). There were multiple people in group with nut allergies with one being anaphylactic. Please differentiate in menu/ask before adding to food that usually would not have nuts!! (Like salad lol)
Food was great ❤️
I had heard that OD's sandwiches are good.
So, we casually tried out KDA's branch.
Ordered Pulled Beef and Chicken Mortadella Sandwich.
Both were served within twenty minutes with potatoes and salad.
Chicken Mortadella: It was not spicy and generously loaded with bologne. Good taste.
Pulled Beef: I just had a bite, seemed fine.
In the end, we were given a free icecream voucher to celebrate their new branch opening. We selected something Nutella and again it tasted average.
They really need to work on their service as I had to ask thrice for the bill and others were complaning too.
Overall, it became an average experience for me.
The service of this branch is HOPELESS. One month when I went their with my family and sister's family the breakfast were served with drinks but I had to wait till my breakfast was finished and even after asking thrice from the staff.
The same story was repeated last Saturday (17-May) I went there with my wife. We ordered our food which was served in time. BUT this time they did not gave us drinks (1 cappuccino and 1 moca Frappe). I asked the staff many times and every time they said just coming. You can check from the photos that we had almost finished our breakfast but there is no sign of drinks.
Even the staff didn't bother to say SORRY for this. I literally packed the remaining food since our whole mood and appetite was destroyed by their quality service.
I WILL NEVER GO BACK THERE.
0/100
This branch does not offer more than 5 tables at a time if you want to dine in and if you get in a queue than you will be waiting outside in your car or standing as they don't offer any waiting area.
The overall food was great and greatly presented, the food arrived on time and staff was friendly but we had to ask a couple of times for donut as the staff omitted and it took a little more effort to buy a single donut apart from food. Value to money was good. Overall the experience was okay but I would recommend takeaway.
The Breakfast was great. They had a good selection of eggs and omelettes on the menu. Although we first ordered Eggs and Salmon, which wasn’t available.
The florentine eggs were good. The classic waffles were delicious.
They have a good variety of coffee available. And the Mocha and Vanilla Latte were spot on.
The service was a little slow and we had to wait 15 minutes before the waiter could take our order.
The place is really small and there is very limited dining space.
The app says that they have all the flavours. But once the order is placed and we go to pick up the donuts, almost all flavours are out of stock. And the cashier literally told us to cancel the online order and go away.
They are selling this tiny slice for 1300. I am sure the ingredients are high quality and what not but that doesn’t justify that price tag. I ordered it through someone so only got to find out the size after it came. I didn’t think it would be a full size cake but giving this size of a slice for 1300 is insane.
