I wrote them almost a year ago , I might visit these places again, on this trip of mine and update ! right now , just bear with it me


Lal Qila @ Shahrah-e-Faisal , Karachi

If you into buffet style of yokes then it could be one of the your favourite restaurants in Karachi . Situated on main Shahrah-e-Faisal, modeled after the 16th century Shahi Qila in Lahore .

Adorned with courtesy of mughlai era they offer you to dine out authentic Mughlai , Tandori , Live Bar-B-Que & Traditional Pakistani cuisine, alongwith a number of Western dishes.

For menu please check their website [www.lalqila.com] and I reckon food is much better then famous Village restaurant [ now salt and pepper ] at Seaview, the true fun of dining at Lal Qila is the ambience.

For romantic souls , well ya may feel like dining in Mughal times …. Dont forget to wear a Sherwani/ gharara and learn the art of balancing a peacock on your arm.

Try to get a seat in Bara – Dari which is the most elevated sitting place in front … And from there you can relish the spell bounding view of LalQila.

In short, this is the best authentic food you can find under one roof, I don’t know the current price but i reckon it would be less then 10 £ pp... in which you can try each and every dish that they serve.

Its surely fit for a king …. Mates …. bon appetit!

The Revolving Restaurant @ Ceaser Tower , main Shahra-e-Faisal.... karachi

Lovely Karachiites should remember that Karachi had a revolving restaurant many moons ago but for reasons unbeknownst to any of us or atleast myself, it was shut down around a decade ago.

But in 2007…. Pakistan became the 42nd country in the world to have a revolving restaurant. Since its inauguration, Karachiites have been going in hordes to check out this wonder. I am still waiting for my lucky moon….

Sitting on the 16th floor of the Ceaser Tower on main Shahra-e-Faisal, the view from the top is magical. At night you can truly see the city of lights in its full glory (Agar Bijli arahee hovi tu ).

Sitting on your chair you can get a 360 degree view of the Karachi within 45 minutes flat.

Another buffet style yoke and so the environment is Lal Qila-esque and the quality of food is almost equal too … if you are Chinese food-aholic … do try Chinese delicacies.

The prices comes out to be same about other buffet style outlets but the variety on the buffet menu is worth the empty pocket ….

However. Those who suffer from motion sickness or are easily prone to nausea are advised not to visit.

For the rest of you mates , bon appetit!

Kowloon @ Tariq Road Karachi .


So next time when you feel like having Chinese, and by chance you happen to be around Tariq Road, try Kowloon .

Directions:If you are entering main Tariq Road from Bahadurabad , just go straight and turn left from the first signal, you will find Kowloon on your left, just after Silver spoon.... [ remind me to write something on sliver spoon .. bhoy Kebab rolls ]

Anyway back to the topic

Kowloon is an old Chinese restaurant, been around more then fifteen years or more.. After Yuan Tung , I say this place serves the best Chinese food in Karachi and its been reported that nothing besides the pricing in the menu has changed in so many years.

what to eat ….. order Crab corn soup which is just perfect it is comes with lots of crab meat, well-done, fresh and not a single trace of shells.

Besides the yummiest soup, Prawns in hot sauce are one of their specialty and bhoy tastes even better with prawn fried rice.

Ya may also try their Chicken in ginger sauce, sweet and sour chicken and beef with chillies

The place is beautifully decorated in rich Chinese cultural theme, with paintings and lanterns in red, dim lights and Chinese style chairs.

The seating arrangement is great but if you want a table instantly you have to be at the place before 20:30……..

Hollywood Grill @ Sea view , Karachi …..

How to get there :Hollywood Grill is a restaurant quite prominently located on Sea View opposite McDonald’s and right next to D-Mart. Couldn’t be simpler then that . Ya just cant miss it ….

It is located on the first floor literally on top of D-Mart. There is ample location in the restaurant to seat over a 100 guests and the ambiance classy with good music.

Menu : The menu is interesting to read as all the dishes are named after a Hollywood Movie or one of its megastars, anywhere from Angelina Jolie to Brad Pitt you could scrumptiously enjoy.

Angelina jolie my mouth is already watering by thoughts of ...........


Steaks are around Rs 800 - Rs 1100 while burgers hovered around an average Rs. 500.

The spacious seating is decorated with number of paintings , Ya may see a brilliant image of Johnny Depp right in front of u while munching the fries ..

Hollywood Grill is the creation of Manzar Riaz .. The fella behind the success of the Pizza Hut franchise in Pakistan….

Last but not the least ....the overall rating, people have rated Hollywood Grill quite close to the likes of Cafe Flo & Okra on food, On the steak issue … Hollywood Grill beats Okra and Flo hands down - try it ma Karachiites

The Voice

Arizona Grill - on main zamzama boulevard. has the best steaks in the city, with a variety of sidedishes. Dont try the sandwiches, they suck. Prices are reaonable too at around 450 per head including the side dishes. Be sure to try their fry basket of onion rings and stuffed mushrooms!
