Surpsingly amazing seafood at Sino, the fish was fantastic, the lobster was fresh and cooked very well, the jumbo prawns were good and the the crispy calamri was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend this place. Also I would call in advance to Make sure they have crabs.

Today i visited Cafe Sino.....well it doesnt look like cafe to me more like tea dhaba i would say with lots of flies sitting in my plate.....i would recommend people to order it at home...unless they change to a better gud looking restaurant. Good thing i notice that staff were friendly.....they were listening to my suggestion which was great.....and Yes lobster was fresh. Our food was over cooked and extremely spicy. The crab soup was basically hot water with a tonne of black pepper and a crab dropped into it. Terrible. Wudnt recommend it to anyone. lobster, crabs and muscles were grilled to a point that they had shrivelled up and gotten tough n chewy.

Small place in zamzama. The locality seems deserted at night as people apparently are going to big malls to avoid parking issues once faced at zamzama. We had one crab buffet deal, one seafood buffet deal and one lobster.Starting with lobster, it wasnt as big as some pictures show. Meat was stiff but i believe it was fresh.Crabs were small in size except for chilli crabs which were medium sized.Fish was also medium sized and tasted ok. Apparently they didnt apply masalas on it.Prawns were medium in size.Overall ok if you want a crab feast.

They had a deal on lobsters, 50% off, felt it was bait and switch, cause they showed a very small lobster and said it was 1200, while the normal sized one was 2500. Generally a meal for two at an upscale restaurant would cost you around 6,7thousand max . This meal costed about the same but did not fill us. The only thing that I liked was the shrimps

Very bad first impression and experience. We had their buffet for Rs. 1,590. It includes Crab, Prawns, Fish, Calamari, Cuttlefish and Chapati. Everything was so much stale that their taste have changed. Crabs werent even washed properly. Fish and Calamari didnt have any taste. Prawns are bit better but in later servings, they got bad too. Looked like everything was fried in old and used oil. Maybe not going again.

The food is good. I recommend grilled lobster. Mussels had a strong taste, but tasted fine. The prices, however, are quite high...but not for all food items. Overall experience was nice...service was excellent. Might visit againThe prices of platter dishes are really really high.

Cafe SinoSeafood fraternity may find my long review useful, others may read on their own risk. :)Impressed with quantity of seafood as I did not expect this much i.e. 7 filled skewers of prawn, two decent sized fried fish, a steak, couple of mussels n crabs . Good combination, as it got everything for our group of three. They call this Pakistan Platter.Coming to taste side of the food. I m not spice lover therefore spices were kept low on my request. And the food tasted great. Prawns were yum - must be tried. Fish was perfectly fried as crispy crust n tender inside they kept spices in it very low.Verdict: this dhaba is serving beyond its physical stature. Other foodies in group who have visited Sino will agree that its one of must visit place of Karachi for Seafood!Expense : 3330 (platter 3000 n 3 Saffron Tea 330)P.S. Saffron n Spices Tea was also good which is priced at Rs. 110!

Loved the food , delicious !! Not too expensive either . Chef/host ayaz is an awesome person ,he guided me through the whole menu and was very helpful . He prepared delicious food and he made sure that food would be served right before we finished our first dish so it would be served hot . Excellent service, excellent food !

We had grilled crab, the prawn feast and mussels. All were very fresh and tasted excellent. The grilled crab especially was the highlight of the occasion.You cant beat this place for value for money. They have one of the most reasonable rates for sea food I have seen and never for such good quality food.The ambiance is pretty much standard but the place was clean and tidy and the waiters courteous and helpfulWe also tried crab soup and prawn shashlik, both tasted great.

An economical seafood restaurant in Karachi. They need to work on the ambiance. Shrimp Biryani was very spicy while Shrimp Masala was good. Lobster was just OK. While it was my first experience with Crabs, so cant compare. But Mainly we just played with Mud Crabs, there were hardly any meat in crabs.

Paradise for sea food lover..they have excellent chef and the best thing about them is every thing they serve is super fresh and the taste of sea food is all about freshness. Better reserve before going there thats because of their limited seating and for the availability of your desired item like if you want to eat lobsters or crab buffet pre book your table so they can arrange every thing...staff is very friendly the cafe itself is very small not good for big gatherings and not kids friendly at all

Cleanliness issue plus taste of prawn masala was not appropriate and was only full of tomatoes paste and very less quantity of prawns.The price of lobster was too high as there was very less meat in the lobster and no taste at all.

One of the best places to have fresh seafood. Pleasantly surprised at a restaurant doing seafood correctly and doing it so fresh. Great food. The only deduction bif the star is the place to eat is outside. But that might be the reason for the low costs
