Cafeela has been there for a while now but I had never come across. It had more to do with its obscure location, situated in an alley at the back of Shahbaz commercial.The ambiance is great. Service top notch. As far as food goes, I just tried two items: Mezze platter and mutton hunzai kabab. I would rate both 7/10 considering the authenticity of the taste and the serving size.But Ill definitely be going back there to have a go at the exhaustive menu items.Will be back with more soon.....

Awesome... Their سرسوں ka ساگ was سو yummy along with the makaii kee roti. Their دال was also out of this world. The beef Gola Kebab was not good, they were slightly hard.The top item was Shahi ٹکرے, I havent had such awsome like these ever in my life.Well done Cafeela & keep it up.

Highly recommended place. Peaceful environment and tasty food. The food was absolutely amazing. I ordered a Malai Boti and they designed the lemon with it like an animal. Food was also amazing but it can be heavy on your pocket. This place is quite expensive and one person meal may cost you around 700rs. Thats why I am giving 4 stars

Cafeela is a nice place with delicious food and excellent ambience. Serving size is good too each item can be eaten by two people easily unless you are very hangry. It is having various options of food and as you can see we tried Chinese, fast food and Pakistani food just to get an ideas of the place. Everything was delicious . Highly recommend this place.

Amazing food and the variety was top notch. A cosy establishment tucked away from the huslte and bustle of the main street, cafeela had a wide variety of food stuff which was all made with careful attention to detail and presentation. We tried the rocket walnut salad, grilled fish and hummus all of which had a good taste and the ingredients were all fresh. The hunzai kebab was also well made as the meat was soft and chewy and did not have the heavy after taste that normally comes in Desi cuisine. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a light snack or a full five course meal. The Thai soup was also divine!

Not at all worth the price. Only great items were sesame chicken and mix tea from our order.

Delicious Food!The ambience goes with the name (Arabic/gulf). The staff is polite. Location is just ok. But the food that should matter being a restaurant is delicious. The food is presented well.We ordered bhindi, hunzai mutton kebab and Brain masala. Neither of them disappointed us. So 10/10 for food.

The ambiance is quite enchanting specially the wall which converted in to sort of mural. The staff is neat clean and smartly dressed lets not forget attentive as well.We tried prawn masala and chana chat. The quantity as per price was adequate. The prawn masala was simply exquisite prawns were fresh, the chat masla as described by lady accompanying me perfect, however you can instruct them to mix and match your taste buds demand.A good affordable place to eat.

Anda chhola was good. Rest of the things were almost saltless, probably bcz its located in DHA and their primary customers are burgers. Furthermore, Behari boti was made in a pan. No smell of coal/bar b que

Located at most convenient service road of Kh.Hafiz, in Shahbaz Comm, offers, a combination of host of facilities, like ambience, layout, service and cuisine. Food is mid priced gourmet ranging from continental to Pakistani home dishes, cooked to good taste and presentation, served tastefully, I recommend Bhindi Salan. Please like if you found article helpful.

Review №54

Well, I learnt a lot in forums, about food served in this restaurant. Tried Sarson ka Saag with Makkai ki Roti. I would place it a tad below average. Saag was cooked in Desi Ghee, had no aroma at all though. They need to learn its not the presentation, but the whole package counts. Wheres DESI MAKKHAN Bhai Jan? Makkai roti was SHANDAR though. Its a bit over priced for the stuff that I tasted.

Excellent no-frills place with the best bhindi in town! So far, everything I have tried on the menu has been very good and usually fresh.The one thing they could improve is the lighting/seating. Not saying it has to be fancy, just a little more inviting.

Review №94

Cafeela is a gem,the pooris they serve at their Sunday brunch are so light and fluffy that you can hardly tell that they have been deep fried.Desi food menu is diverse and every item is worth trying.My personal favourites have to be Khao Suey,sizzling bhindi,Hunzai kebeb and peshawri mutton karahi. Cafeela is a must visit place for desi food lovers.

Been to @cafeela for dinner. Ordered prawns tenpura, pasta with grilled chicken, tikka bonless malai boty, dry beef chillies and grilled chicken, cold coffee, fresh apple juice and mint margarita.Prawns tempura looked good coiled in a crisp crunch kernel but as I bit off it had some blood stains inside, complained the waiter and it was immediately taken back and asked us to order something else but found nothing appetizing.Tikka boti was hard and dry with excessive spice 5/10Pasta was good with balanced taste and seasoning 8/10Dry beef chilli tasted good but beef chunks were bit undercooked 7/10Dint taste grilled chicken but satisfied the person who ordered it.I was told mint margarita will be in orange juice but had no any tad bit of orange juice or even artificial flavor, just lemon infused in ice so piquant.3/10Cold coffee was so bland 3/10Overall experience, flop scene!!
