Have dinner at this restaurant, was surprised to find the food and service very good, excellent ambiance not too noisy, courteous service. The approach to the restaurant is not too comfortable but still the food is worth the effort. It is a bit on the expensive side though but Overall satisfied would recommend

Always love being at Pompei. The service and ambiance is amazing...be it for a romantic dinner or an official get together or just casual dining. Its wondering for all occasions. The food is great (on a pricier side though.. but this is a fine dining place)

My dining experience at Pompeii with the family turned out to be very good. The ambiance was pretty relaxing, service was out of this world, place was comfortable but the best part was of course the quality of food, which was simply phenomenal ! I had one of the best dinning experiences, if not the best ! Appetizers were pretty inviting, soups were indulging and entrees were simply to die for. Thank you, Pompeii, for everything. Just dont change, and if you do, then do so only for good. Recommended for at least once.

Pompeii is fine dining and exquisite ambiance at its best. Its dimly lit environment is great for having a conversation. The food is generally amazing. Have mushrooms for starters then all the poultry and fish entrees are also good!

This is a nice place to eat. They have indoor as well as outdoor areas from where you can enjoy the view of some greenery....I visited it on the valentines Day️ so they had some special giveaways for us.They had a special valentines Day menu as well.As usual we asked for their specialties.We ordered red snapper fish Beef steak (sorry dont remember the name)And chocolate lava cake.Pictures attached...Main course was good. The amount was a little less satisfying to appetite but tasted really good... Usually I dont like beef or mutton steaks but this was definitely worth eating again.DESERT was awesome.. we came to the conclusion that one can visit Pompeii just for that lava cake...... Mouth watering

One of my favourite restaurants to go to day or night. Love the ambiance, the food, the vibe! Its a bit expensive but good portions. If youre on a budget, the authentic Italian pizzas are great. They taste just like the ones I ate in Rome. Ive done business meetings here, as well as celebrated family affairs here. Its comfy and classy all in one.

Amazing grilled prawns & bread puddingAlso, their Rib eye steak, Med well is out of this world. I am sure its probably the best steak in whole of Pakistan. Sea food chowder soup is also very good. The seating, the ambience, service all top notch. Also 20% discount if you use Faysal bank platinum credit card. You will get your money worth here. Probably this restaurant is among the top 3 in Karachi.

Was expecting a lot more from this restaurant that has been around in Karachi for so long. While the seafood based dishes were nice, they were always lacking a flavour or not in each dish we tried. Also had an incident regarding negligence from the kitchen.

Review №44

Pompei has work cut out for them to improve their food. I ordered pumpkin soup, spinach artichoke dip, stuffed prawns, butterfly grilled prawns, pasta with prawns, pizza and baked chicken.Pumpkin soup and pasta with prawns is the only thing I will recommend. Stuffed prawns were over cooker and rubbery. Spinach artichoke dip and stuff prawns were ok. The pizza crust was excellent but the toppings and the taste was worst than a bakery sold precooked pizza. Baked chicken was so bland that it seemed like hospital food.With their hits and misses they need to improve.

I was surprised to know this place was here for a long time and not very famous in the city. They are located in heart of karachi. Its located in a heritage building. They are among best fine dining.

The food was great. The place is designed sophisticatedly. The indoor and outdoor seating arrangement gives you choice of environment you want. The restaurant interior is perfectly designed to preserve natural botanicals. The menu is quite extensive so can make choice easily to soar your taste buds up. The prices of cuisines are slightly high but paid back by the nice environment it offers. Must visit along family friends or loved ones. Accessible for wheelchair users and kids buggy also.

Mediterranean style Italian Restaurant surrounded by beautiful Colonial Architecture and lush green garden but food quality and quantity is of basic. No worth for the money you pay. Ambiance 9/10 - food 6/10.

This used to be our favourite place to done out. The ambiance, the food, the service... everything used to be perfect.Pompei has undergone a steady decline. The past couple of times, the food has been flavourless, service untimely, and lets just say my experiences werent what Id expect from a restaurant that had so much more to offer.

Liked the calm atmosphere, liked the food. A yes-yes if looking for serene environment, recommended for special occasions. Only issue was, servers hovering around our table which was a bit discomforting. But, when more diners came in, they all disappeared.

Nice restaurant in the Shape Sport Center-They are serving nice pizza, nice semi-italian dishes, but sometimes are far from the italian Mediterranean tradition as the regional area of Pompei city.(Often cheese on the fish...).Good service and clean interiors.Its a nice and quite place where to enjoy the evening.For sure one of the good restaurants also for foreign in Karachi

Pompei is absolutely amazing when it comes to getting authentic Italian food in Pakistan. If you want quality pizza which is light on your appetite, then order a margherita pizza for starters. If you are a big fan of steaks, then you should go for their filet mignon. Their pastas and grilled chickens are also pretty good. It is built in a secluded place which is good for private dinners but the location is not very convenient if you want to visit very often. Overall Id recommend this place if youre looking for quality food in a medium to high budget.

Delicious food. Excellent service. Steaks, Fish, Prawns, Ravioli, Carpaccio, Desserts. All in fine dining. The playlist needs to be updated though. The road leading to the venue is rough and in shambles. Ample parking and valet service available.

Review №74

The food was excellent but the service was very slow. They charged us for one extra dish which we didnt order, the manager made correction on the bill later with complementry dessert. Music was loud too asked the waiter to lower it but didnt worked out. For the owners they have to up their game since other restaurants are offering way better then pompei.

Review №75

It was an amazing experience. The food was on point. Ordered various dishes and everything was unique and delicious. The serving size was a little smaller than I would have liked. The prices were high for the small servings. That was the only disappointment. Is not a place you can visit on a regular basis but on special occasions... Yes!

Review №76

Soup was good but main entree was fine at best(was with my wife and only tasted two). What I didnt like was that multiple guest had bring alcohol with them and were drinking. although, restaurant didnt served them those drinks and there was a notice stick on inner wall against drinking but they were serving ice cubes

Best steaks in Karachi. Great pasta and sea food as well. Great service by a very well trained staff. Very good ambiance. Desserts are on point as well. Pompei is definitely a favorite and the kind of restaurant one would return to multiple times.

Pompei still maintained its taste after a small beginning from Zamzama. I visited here after years and the food is still delicious. Prices are a bit on a higher side but someone with a taste of premium food will find it as excellent value for money. I tried their local steak dish and it was delicious. There ceaser salad was also fresh and scrumptious.

Ta
Review №97

Its a reasonable restaurant offering delicious food but the thing which startled me was use of artificial flavours, packed food items in almost every dish. Fresh juices soups require a lot of improvisation.

Over priced mediocre food with no sense of presentation whatsoever. If im paying 2500 - 3000 per person, Id expect a quality fine dining experience. The food was bland. The service was bad.
