PANEERA - KARACHI


Located off main Mohammad Ali Society food street, more reknowned as where Kaybees is, Paneera Fast Food is a delightful experience in itself. Set all alone, with no other restaurants surrounding it and very low foot traffic, one wonders how this restaurant even does business here?! Yet, its been around for almost two years and has created quite a bit of a following in the city. The restaurant hosts two seating areas, one inside and one outside, featuring metal frame furniture which makes the atmosphere seem almost official. The walls are done in light reddish tone, with yellow lighting which make the experience all the more cozy.
So whats so special about paneera then? What every restaurant hopes to have, yet few can master! Good food! The menu hosts a variety of cuisines from Pizza’s to English, Italian, Chineese and our very own desi continental. The standard serving size is for two people, and when the food arrives, it can usually serve upto 3 people easily. To date, i’ve sampled almost 3/4th of their huge menu, and apart from one experience, i have’nt regretted a single choice. The food is absolutely to DIE for!!! every dish is prepared right then and there, which accounts for a *long* wait time. They usually take about half hour to serve even the smallest order, but when it does finally arrive.. the wait seems worth it. Oh! and one thing to start up with, which is my favourite item there! Green fries!!! Its something of a cross between a pakora and a fry with the result being too good for words!!Definately a must try!

Cafe’ Mediterranean - KARACHI


A good dine-out experience is more than a just a good meal.

The ambiance, the service, the menu and yes, the taste, all put together can either make the experience worth remembering, or it can straight-away strike out the eatery.

There are many cafe’s and restaurants that offer good food and menu, however, there’s got to be that ’special’ experience that will want you keep coming back and recommending the place to others.

Cafe’ Mediterranean offers such a package in an all-appropriate price. Although a bit top of the lot price structure, the cafe’ offers excellent ambiance, nice music, quick and attentive service and a filling meal that you’re sure to remember. Located at Zamzama amidst many a dine-out options, the cafe’ will quickly win your vote as being one of the upcoming best around!

I went there on our 1.5th anniversary and we had a memorable candle-lit dinner which will definitely be remembered.

A must recommended place to visit for good food, generous helpings and attentive service.

JADE GARDEN - CLIFTON , KARACHI


The first among the first as far as Chinese restaurant’s are concerned. Jade Garden opened its doors to us Karachites about 15 years ago. Recently though it has been renovated from top to bottom and has reopened to much acclaim.The ambiance is very under the sea with wall to wall built in aquariums and a dim interior. It has an excellent menu of many Chinese varieties with some signature dishes as well. Last time i was there we started off with hot prawn crackers and Thai soup, which is basically a watery blend of lemon and herbs with delicious chunks of chicken mixed in. The owner recommended the schezuan chicken for the main course and he was not far off the mark, it was crunchy it was sizzling and it was gorgeous to look at as well as eat. We also tried the chicken veggy rolls and Mongolian beef with fried rice which were both quite delicious. However to me the best dish was still the old “Manchurian chicken” a fan favorite with Chinese restaurants here in Karachi, no one does this dish better than Jade Garden. As soon as i bit into the first spoonful i was transported back to the days of my teenage hood when we used to pool our money to be able to eat here.

When visiting Karachi or just going out here, do not forget to stop here from time to time, your wallet and taste buds will thank you.
