Im gonna be honest. Its not your traditional desi type to-go restaurant. But they know what they are doing. We tried Moroccan Chicken, Black Pepper Chicken, Pasta, Hot and Sour soup and Carrot Cleanser as refreshment. All were to the point. I really loved the Moroccan Chicken, especially. The crispness and tenderness of the chicken was of the perfect level.I would not call it expensive as there are other restaurants which offer the same for a lot more money.The staff were very friendly too. They offered us private party hall although we were only five, as it had more privacy.Ill say this place deserves once a month visit for sure.

Really nice ambience, great service and loved the food. We tried their beef steak and chicken steak along with strawberry smoothie cooler. We were served with complimentary plain crackers and then sizzling hot steaks were served. Lights, feel and ambience is really good and the staff is super nice. However I have 2 recommendations :1) Please reduce the prices abit, I felt it to be a bit overpriced as per steak market in Isb/Rwp2) Please try to serve a complimentary drink or a small drink shot.

Although I dont even want to give half star to this most pathetic place of DHA 2. I along with my family waited for thirty minutes not no one bothered even to come to the table. I would advise to keep our integrity safe. NO ONE SHOULD VISIT THIS PLACE.

The decor is amazing, with great attention to detail.Service is also excellent; very attentive and polite, and relatively quick. We were also given complementary soup.It is a quiet, cozy place with the lighting not too stark. It is also out of the way, which helps with noise, and makes for pleasant views out of the windows(during the day, and at night).The food options are somewhat limited, but what they do offer is well made. We ordered Mexican wings(the only option for wings), the Moroccan beef steak and a grilled chicken sandwich. The wings seemed to have some generic buffalo sauce, but were nice enough. The steak was done according to my preference, had good portion size, and the beef tasted great. The sandwich was unremarkable.

The ambience is great. Love the interior of the restaurant. Ordered T bone steak. The steak was cooked good but was a bit bland. Needed more seasoning. The Casa Rica house pasta was excellent. Cheese cake was good but not the best.Overall its a nice place too eat in Bharia. May be with a little improvement it will become the best.

The environment is amazing!!The service is very good and the complementary items are served well. The taste is special. But the soft drinks worth Rs.60/- are being served with the price tag of Rs150. Overall the place is amazing!!

It was a good dining experience overall. To my disappointment, they did not have those spicy steaks on the menu but their casa rica special was still good. Mint margarita can be a little less sweet and more lemony.Onion rings, fries, veggies (with the steak) were all good.

Food quality is more then awesome. To be honest we have never been to Islamabad since the day we were introduced to this excellent restaurant. Highly highly recommended ... Cheese cake is out of this world ... I would rate it better then burning brownie .

One of the many new restaurants that have sprung up in Bahria Phase 8 over the last year or so. And this one is definitely worth a visit. They serve continental dishes and the food is very good. I have had two dinners and an Aftar here and the experience has always been up to mark. The sitting area is limited so bringing children along may be a bit cumbersome.

What a great place to have a peaceful and yummy food. Before this, we have been going to Islamabad for good eatry, but its my third visit, first after Iftari Buffet.... I have no doubt CASA RICA is one of THE best restaurantin whole of Pindi and Islamabad. Highly recommended, I am writing this with full responsibility.

Casa Rica is relatively a new place located 200m from Mcdonalds Bahria Phase07.The interior is on point. Probably one of the best interiors in Bahria Town.Hospitality of staff was amazing.Coming to Food, we ordered Salsa Nachos 695/- T Bone Steak 1,095/- CasaRica Chicken Steak 895/- Chicken Lasagna 895/- Swiss Mushroom Melt Burger 645/- Crispy Chicken Burger 495/- Spicy Chicken Alfredo 795/- Quesadillas 696/- Mint Margarita 345/- each Soft drink can 150/- each Mineral Water 130/- eachSalsa Nachos were amazing. Literally tortilla chips were very good I had to ask from the waiter what they were, coz they weren’t Dorritos. So on inquiry I got to know that they get them specially from Karachi. The chicken chilli and nachos cheese sauce were complementing the dish T-Bone steak was a bit of disappointment, the reason being it was chewy, like very chewy. The taste was perfect. But bhai kia chahtay ho, steak aur meray darmiyan kabadi karwana??? The side vegetables were Best think it was a steak, aesay nhi tha k sauce ki nehrain bah rahi hon.CasaRica chicken steak, (chalaen maan laetay for time being chicken ka steak hota). It was good, wasn’t dry, meet was tendered and juicy. The sauces were on point.Chicken Lasagna was not regular lasagna, it was different. It was good, but expensive for the serving size.Swiss Mushroom melt burger was good. The beef patty was perfectly cooked, mushroom sauce was making it taste very good.Crispy chicken burger was a complete hit coz my amma loved it. Bs meray liyay ye bohat k my amma loved it.Will you believe spicy chicken Alfredo was this much good that i forgot to take pictures of it. So yes it’s a must try. The flavour of Parmesan cheese and that aroma I can still smell it. Bahi kaam 25 hai Quesadillas were another hit dish. Chargrilled chicken strips and cheddar cheese along with sautéed vegetables made this dish another hit.Drinks were way too expensive. You’re not suppose to charge 40 rupees can for 150 and then tax it again. This is exploitation of customers.Overall a wonderful experience. Loved it. A must try place.For more follow @goeathammad on instagram

Aftari items were different from regular stuff,In aftariWingsWhite sauce chicken bitesMini burgersFish fingers.. Were a hit for me.They included spaghetti and all kind of samosas, pakoras, box patties, rolls, sandwiches and chaats etc. I din try them but my friend said they were good.In dinnerTarragon chickenBeef steak bitesLasagna.. Were a hit for meThere was traditional curry, naans, Manchurian rice, bbq and other stuff that we are tired of trying so I didnt touch it but my friend said they were on point.Desserts.. Oh the best part.Mini glasses of chocolate and strawberry mousse were a real treatChocolate fudge brownie.. On pointMini chocolate fudge bite. Too yummy.And the best one..Cheese cake.. Best best best I have ever had.. Right amount of strawberry and blue berry sauce on it.. It was divine, another level.. It tops the whole buffet.. Best thing in buffet.I loved the presentation of drinks, including detox water (we din have to order water separately like other places) regular Rooh Afza and Tang.Hot beverages included tea and green.. That did for us.The place gets congested when its buffet, but Ambiance and sitting is outclassed. Decent crowd showed patience and stayed in lines and nothing in the buffet was ever finished.The manager, waiters specially the girls.. Hands down to their excellent communication, training and vigilance.Sometimes Its sad to see them all eating khajoor with azaan, I suppose they eat later.. We all should be kind to them.Overall very happy with the experienceHighly recommended

The steak meat quality of Casa Rica Steak (Under cut) is at best medium quality. The sauce tasted like more like mayonnaise. I had to request for sour cream for my baked potato. That too tasted like mayonnaise. Chicken Alfredo and Mexican Chicken Panini were better liked by my other family members. BTW the waiter forgot my wife order for Chicken Alfredo and it came after reminding him halfway through the meal. The manager graciously comped one of our 3 deserts for the mistake. My suggestion as a former Hotel & Restaurant graduate and 20+ years as a hospitality management professional that the servers need better training, encouragement and be attentive towards their customers. However the atmosphere, ambience and management response is deserving of 5 stars but the quality of steak meat needs improvement.

Great food, very friendly staff, their head waiter / manager is very cooperative. She even offered to hold our crying baby so we could eat. Loved the gesture. On our second visit, they seemed a bit over whelmed by the a full packed restaurant. If they can upscale their staff a little, they deserve 5 stars

Casa Rica is probably as close as you get to fine dining in Rawalpindi. The decor is cosy save for the spotlights that actually put you in the spot, the menu, although not entirely original, offers a good continental mix and the dishes I have so far tried in the last 4+ visits have rarely disappointed except on one occasion when the tortilla chips in the nachos were stale. The staff is helpful, pleasant and welcoming and appear eager to serve. The interior is a mix of contemporary and modern design and seating is comfortable giving you decent space between tables enabling you to enjoy conversation on your table without having to fend off cross talk from other tables. Then soft lighting (except the dreary spot lights) gives enough visibility for a comfy eating experience while retaining a degree of privacy. They usually have seating available and I have not found them overcrowded even on weekends.

Had Dinner 2 days back and still in a spell of their unimpeachable service and food quality and taste. The ambiance just wow. Every penny spent here had the worth. Tried their steaks and drinks. Casa Rica house steak was perfectly cooked their sauce was spot on and the ginger ale (ginger mint margarita) was the perfect end to my meal. What else do you expect? Since then I am recommending this restaurant to everyone in my circle. Also best for gatherings and large groups for events. One of the places in rawalpindi/islamabad where you can put your All In.

Juat to put it first, i had a steak here last year and was happy about my overall experience so thats a 4 star.However, my current experience of hi-tea buffet was very dissapointing. Almost nothing was of proper temperature except for mint margarita n soup. Either it was because they were cold or not properly prepared, sandwiches and burgers were not tasty at all. Nachi didnt perform well, fried rice and shashlik were not what anyone would expect. Aoup was good, wings were cold and too saucy, samasos were cold that amde them look and feel oily.I am sure they can do bwtter. This was probably one of their bad days.I atill look forward to eat here in a couple of months.

Fantastic, I really enjoy coming here for lunch or dinner, there steaks are beautiful and they know how to cook it medium rare!!!!! There pastas are yummy too!!!!!. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone ( if you have guests coming from abroad then this place is fantastic) I think the whole plaza including the restaurant are owned by a British Pakistani ( born in the UK ) which makes me really proud ( I am a British Pakistani) keep up the good work.

Review №38

Overrated place. Beef steak was not up to the mark as what we described to them, so we had to say to them kindly cook accordingly as we described while placing the order. As well as they mixed the orders of all of our friends. As a result of that confusion we had to bear extra fries and had to pay extra for that. In short OONCHI DUKAN PHEEKA PAKWAAN.

Located at the extreme posh area of Bahria Town Phase 7, This place Casa Rica is very famous for their Hi Tea. However, I tried its T Bone Steak and my Partner tried its Chicken Keiv (kind of dish, sorry I dont remember its name).My steak was very rare though I always have my steaks as Medium well. It even had Blood (RED) liquid on it and when I complained about it, they just took it and warmed it more and gave it back to me. Mashed potatoes they served were the worst I ever had and I even ended up saying, I can make better than these. My 1st experience to this place was overall very very bad.

I have visited casa Rica thrice since their opening and man o man, they have never disappointed. Even in ramzan when the buffets of most of the eateries are not good and serve bland food. Casa rica was upto the mark.
