Location:   D82/1, Block 4, Clifton (Off 26th Street), Karachi, Pakistan-75600

Hidden amongst the bustling streets of Karachi, is a little taste of France. Step into Cafe Flo for a fine dining experience. An ideal place for a business lunch, celebratory dinner or a relaxing Sunday Breakfast. Now this short story will not have any hints of value for money references because when it comes to places like these, you can chuck away any sense of normality to your billing history, but rest assured, the food quality will always be top notch. We were four friends, four steaks,

New Zealand T-Bone (which I had) will cost you about PKR 2,600 for 370 gms approx. 10/10 VERY juicy, and if meat is cooked just the way you want it and it will provide you with at least 30 minutes of continuous pleasure. I am serious. This is serious food territory, had the T-Bone the first time in my life, and *cough* is great for BIG occasions, not your everyday meal.

Wagyu Beef Steak :  A friend ordered a Wagyu Beef Steak, which cost him back some PKR 5,950 (OUCH), now that’s a lot, I mean, if you, maybe, like.... WHAT Yes, you read that right, that’s five thousand nine hundred fifty rupees plus tax of course. Couldn't get to taste any of that 200 gms goodness, but apparently it was great. As you can imagine, one bite of that steak would approximately cost around 500 to 600 Rupees, NOBODY would share that! It was undercooked, so had to be reheated, which seemed out of sync for a restaurant like Flo.

Other items that were ordered were Cream of Mushroom Soup, Steak with Moriles sauce, and Barbeque undercut. I am already a fan of the Steak with Moriles sauce 10/10, it is the best steak in town in my humble opinion. It comes with a topping of creamy Mushroom sauce, a serving of the Gratin potato and sautéed vegetables. Value for Money for this steak is great in my opinion.For Dessert we shared the profiteroles, these are éclair type things, smaller of course with ice cream, and chocolate. Very nice, and recommended, 9/10

lets look at the bill now, Apart from food, I just love the ambiance and the people, everyone is sitting there with a smile, calm, relaxed, doesn't feel like Karachi.

Mushroom Soup     - PKR 395

T-Bone steak           - PKR 2,641.20

BBQ Undercut         - PKR 1,010

Steak Moriles          - PKR 1,390

Wagyu Steak           - PKR 5,950

Profiteroles              - PKR 370

10% Service charge is included in the bill, so add 95 for water, and 110 for a coke and 2,105 for tax, this comes to around a total of PKR 15,262.49!

you do get a little cream cheese with some carrot and cucumber, and a bread basket with some butter before the meal..... sooooo, Nah, still not value for money, but its great for special occasions, excellent ambiance, friendly courteous staff, and amazing food.

9/10 for everything except Value for Money Recommended for Special Occasions

The Noodle House, Dolmen Mall

Went to The Noodle House for dinner. Loved their Platter, (don't know the names of the things) which contained two vegetable roles, four fried chicken pieces, two fish bites. 
Dumplings with the dip sauce was fine
Ordered their deal for two, which contained a main course (out of five options), a side option (out of two) and two drinks (out of four).
Bakmie Goreng for the main meal was a combination of noodles, vegetables and chicken with soy sauce. Tasted great!!! Egg Fried Rice as a side option was alright. And the drinks Ice Tea and Lemon Cooler were fulfilling. Especially Lemon Cooler was heavenly: a mix of lemon and mint.
The hospitality was remarkable. Loved the place.

Dim Sum 

 though very pretty to look at, stodgy thick covering and over cooked. But flavor was good.

Thai Beef salad

 absolutely DIVINE. beef prefect and each ingredient in the salad was total farm fresh even thu it was 1 am. On request they had served the dressing which was just amazing in the side since its quite hot and best limited at that time of the day

Salt and Pepper Calamari

 Another absolute hit. Everything was just sheer perfection. 

 

Wasabi Prawns

 Thu fresh huge succulent and perfectly cooked with a great batter crispy while while still being perfectly coated in the sauce, i will admit i still prefer the wasabi prawns at China Kitchen. The sauce was too sweet and fruity and not wasabi-eye enough for me. Despite there being extra dipping sauce.

Apart from all the name, ingredients being part of equipment used for fishing, the idea was to do something like 'Pakistan's first Fine Dining Seafood Restaurant'.

Mr. Burger Karachi

Mr. Burger with egg 

 Mr. Burger is the place to go for a juicy cheeseburger that aint too heavy on the pocket and available in most areas.Best original Burger really tasty, and has it's own unique taste. Certainly has it's off days, but still tasty

Homemade savoury crepe with cheesy chicken filling.

INGREDIENTS: 

1 cup plain/all-purpose flour

2 eggs

¾ cup milk

½ cup water

2 tbsp. melted butter

½ tsp. salt

drop of garlic paste (optional)

1 tbsp. chopped coriander

1 chopped red or green chilli

Some oil or butter for greasing the pan

A saucepan, preferably non-stick (about 8″)

METHOD:

Put the flour, chopped chilli, chopped coriander and salt in a mixing bowl and give them a quick stir using a whisk to combine the ingredients and aerate the flour. These will be your dry ingredients.

In a small jug, pour the milk, water and eggs. Whisk them together just to combine. These are the wet ingredients.

Make a well in your dry ingredients and gradually pour the wet ingredients whilst whisking until you have a thin batter. Lastly, add the melted butter and drop of garlic paste and whisk until it has incorporated.

You can now use the batter right away or cover and rest it for 30 minutes in the refrigerator. This batter can keep perfectly for up to 2 days if refrigerated. Remember to give the batter a quick stir before using.

To cook the crepes, heat your frying pan on medium heat until very hot. Put a few drops of oil or butter and swirl it around or wipe it with a kitchen towel to have a thin coating of oil on the pan.

Scoop about a 1/4 cup (use a measuring cup if you have one) of batter and pour it on the hot pan. Grab the handle and swirl the pan around to distribute the batter evenly and as thinly as possible. Set the pan back on the heat and cook for about a minute or less. Once the bottom of the crepe is slightly browned and cooked, flip it over and cook the other side.

Pantry Restaurant karachi

Went to the Pantry today. Lovely little place! Didn't know they were closed before 7 because. I was in the area around 5 and wanted to make reservations. Very helpful staff, They let me in and took down my reservation. Walked in at 7, place was filling up slowly.

Dinner was lettuce wraps,spaghetti carbonara, burrito bowl, and flat bread with shrimp and buffalo sauce. Wraps were light, spaghetti could use some herbs, more seasoning and definitely more parmesan! Flatbread was filling, cheesy but lacked the kick we were hoping to get from the buffalo sauce. Too full to hit the bigggg helping of the burrito bowl! Ended with mocha java chocolate pudding- nomnomnomnomnom! We wiped the serving dish clean!!

Little bit of tweeking needed on some items but will be going back for sure to try the rest of the menu.

Only downside, was a large family with rowdy kids in the smoking section. Made it very difficult for us to chit chat while they tried to keep kids from running up and down the stairs and stay away from the adults while they smoked in a booth. Why are you bringing kids to a smoking section when you don't want them inhaling second hand smoke???

Anyhoo, made the best of it. Thank you Pantry staff, manager and owner for looking after us throughout

KFC at khayaban e rahat Karachi

Went KFC at khayaban e rahat.. I was really surprised to see 80 percent staff working were .deaf and mute. except mangers and 1 other person... I also seen a similar KFC at hassan square too. It's a great way of making them independent, I appreciate KFC to give them jobs there.....great initiative by KFC . would appreciate if other big franchise do as same for them.. so they could be independent. And stand on their own..

special people are talented and smart and appreciate KFC's initiative to bring them in main stream of life will really help them live normally

Its there policy world wide you will see atleast one handicaped employee in their every outlet in Thailand. there is a girl at the counter on their outlet on sukhumvit Road and its easier to communicate with her with hand signs as compare to someone who speaks english in thai

Next time you visit KFC don't forget to thumbs up or appropriate the special person there you're smiles will make him or her more confident I guess
