Eating Out

Edit This
i
Karachi offers a wide selcetion of restaurants ranging from fast food joints like McDonald's. KFC and Pizza Hut to local street-side cafes to upmarket sophisticated restaurants.  There's something to satisfy every palate and every budget.  The menus are quite cosmpolitan with Chinese, Japanese, French, Italian and Thai restaurants complimenting the innumerable Pakistani eateries.  Food quality is generally very good, specially in the more upmarket outlets, although trravellers should stick to bottled water from known brands (make sure the bottle is opened in front of you) and avoid uncooked foods such as salads and ice in your drinks.  Take these minor precautions and you will truly enjoy the eating experience in Karachi.

Small but very popular restaurant in Defence Phase V area of the city.  Excellent food, but must book in advance as space is limited and demand is usually high, specially on weekends.

Bar-B-Q Tonite

Edit This

Without a doubt, Karachi's most popular restaurant.  My own estimate is that it serves at least 2,500 - 3000 people every night !!  The restaurant is built over 3 storeys, with the rooftop being the ideal spot to enjoy your tikkas, kebabs, ribs and naans hot off the oven.  Food quality has remained consistently excellent for over 15 years and prices have always been very reasonable.  Word has spread far and wide and Karachiites descend enmasse to devour their delicacies every single night of the week.  TIP : go early, preferably before 8 p.m. to more..

Fujiyama

Authentic Japanese food while you enjoy panaromic views of the city from (I think) 15th or 16th floor of Avari Towers Hotel rooftop.  My personal favourite restaurant in karachi for the past 12 years !  Great service, superb food, sophisticated ambience.  Per person will cost about Rupees 800 (US$13).

Lasania

Edit This

A local restaurant with a vast menu. Everything on the menu sounds familiar but tastes vaguely like the named version. The localization of international cuisine is in full swing here. The restaurant isn't too big on presentation and lacks finesse. Still worth the visit if you're in the neighborhood but it has to be noted there are several much better alternatives available in the city.
