Always a pleasure to go to the east end. The five course meals are almost all delectable and I love the drinks matched specifically with each course. Great service too! Overall a huge fan! Particularly enjoyed the lamb shank.
The 5 course option is worth having, the appetizers are perhaps even better than the very generously proportioned main course(s). The Karachi street main courses have the best range of appetizers to offer. The ambience contributes significantly towards elevating the overall dining experience.
Excellent place for dinner. Serves a 5 course meal. This place does burn a hole in your pocket.
Truly a great and different experience. The ambiance feels and is a fine dine and the service is prompt. A different concept of every dish being a 5 course menu with a good desi and bohra variety. The taste is just amazing especially if the mains and the drinks are also refreshing. Liked the desserts also especially the malpura one. Definitely a must try.
Great food. Great ambiance (they do turn off music if you ask for it). Good service. Very good overall experience of a 5-course meal.Price is worth the experience.
The food was excellent, waiters were very helpful, really enjoyed it. Was a bit puzzled over the decor though... doors were propped here and there on the walls, they were also hung from the ceiling, (as partitions).. There was also a bookshelf as one enters on the wall. Dunno what the designer was trying to convey ! But it was a good experience.
The food was authentic and delicious! The taste was so unique and the serving was plenty considering there were 5 courses. Great for an intimate dinner with your friends or family. The staff was pretty great and cooperative. Ill definitely come back here again.
Recommended by an expert, I visited it tonight. Found it more than I expected. My kids loved all the five courses presented perfectly
Excellent!Masala Fried Fish, Prawn Biryani & Prawn Karahee were the BEST. 10/10In dessert Malpura was 11/10*Share the mains, as the quantity is generous
Beautiful ambiance and great tasting food. A five course meal that will tantalize your taste buds and leave you wanting more. Cozy location, great for small family functions, an intimate date or a long overdue catch up session with friends. You select your main and rest of the course are a surprise that build up to the main course. A must try! Authentic bohra cuisine!
Too many cats.Too many people.Food was good.
Wonderful...as always!I am a regular at The East End restaurant.... an eatery that has redefined traditional Karachi food with flair and style that offers am unmatched dining experience. The five course, 90 minutes do.ing session treats you to a wide range of exotic items carefully selected and with a contemporary twist that is sure to excite any foodie.
This is a 5 course meal, so if 2 people are going, 1 course is plentiful. Palate cleansers are provided in between each course, making East End a unique culinary experience.
Phonomenal food with a course servingWe were being surprised through out the course of the meal.Located slightly interior and the Owner has an amazing story to tell about this place and how it all started.Please try the food. Its worth the money
This place is not just a regular restaurant, its a different experience compared to other restaurants in Karachi. The ambiance is somewhat romantic but what makes it stand out is the simplicity of the decor. I like that they have used floor tiles which were used almost 2 decades ago and the other side has pebbles on the floor which is good too. You will find antique furniture, a transistor so big that the current generation would think of it as just a big table, old phone and lamps, storage boxes which I remember my grand mother had and never saw them in market. We ordered a 5 course meal and an additional main course, the food was excellent with the right amount of spices and cooked to perfection. The various starters and shots were a unique experience which I havent seen locally. To sum it up, we loved the food and the place and we are definitely going again to try the other items. Great job guys!
A very unique cuisine. Served as 5 course meal.
Great experience definitely worth trying. Hidden behind Aghas, great service great taste and unique Bhori items. Nice variety and novelty with great ambiance. Great for people who like fine dining and new cusine. They have set 5 course meals with each item supreseding each. Each course is served with a different mini drink. Each course stands out on its own and the pairs well with previous or next course. The staff is very courteous and coaches you with novelty items.
Not impressed at all, the experience itself was unique, the food not so much
A very good but pricey option for dining ... Great food ..
Amazing food. Recommended
Taste is Ok but definitely size of serving is not worth such expensive pricing. Definitely not to be visited second time
Delicious bohri food. Authentic and amazing. Mutton Shank was the best followed by Mutton biryani. The 5 course experience is unique and the different drinks and starters is a great palette on the tongue.
One word Fantastic :)Basic, homely, comfort food ingredients used to elevate a five-course meal with a fine dining experience. You won’t get anything like this in Karachi, and that much I promise you.Overall Rating: 9/10Average hit: PKR 2500/-Located literally at the East End of the city, off Khalique uz Zaman road (Punjab chowrangi), nestled in a bushy corner – this place welcomes you with serious home feels. Coveted with a nice parking space right outside the place, upon stepping out of your car you’ll notice a giant crow with a wooden background awaiting your welcome.It’s a small, cozy place, with a very comfortable ambiance, well lit and a plush interior. The first look is welcoming, and you see waiters in crisp whites bringing you two menus – signatures and specials.The way it goes is something like this – in a five-course meal you only order your main course and you get 03 appetizers with it, 04 seasonal fruit drinks (shot glasses with slushy texture) and then at the end a dessert of your choice. You start off with a chilled detox water consisting of beetroot, lemon and mint and then your appetizers start coming in along with your drinks.The appetizers are crafted according to your entrée’s styling. We were a bunch of 4 people so we ended up trying all their appetizers: chilies stuffed with mixed spicy pickle with flour based crackers to just soothe the spice, sweet boiled potato with crispy paapar and a chilly based dressing, boiled potato dressed in mint yogurt with fried egg plant and assortment of dressings, cannoli type sweet potatoes with herbs and tamarind sauce, three different types of bite sized parathas (sweet, savory and spicy), BBQ fried prawns, flour based twisted rolls stuffed with minced beef and tamarind sauce.Yes, I just finished the list of the appetizers. Each one of them had a superb unique taste and it would be unfair to differentiate them on basis of taste. Just to make things clear, one person gets three appetizers, so you might just get 03 of those appetizers depending on what you ordered.Finally, here’s a list of my breakdown ratings:Taste: 9/10Quality: 9/10Quantity: 9.5/10Presentation: 9/10Ambiance: 8/10Location: 7/10 (difficult to locate, unless you’re using google maps)Value for money: 7.5/10My main course was a classic Burn’s Road Khatakat – served with garlic parathas. I am not much of a heavy eater and because of the whole list of appetizers being presented, I had to give up on my main course midway. Which made me realize that five course meals aren’t my thing, lol. But the dish in itself was sublime. Perfectly spiced khatakat, well balanced flavors, less oil, generously served and just went very well with the whole meal.The drinks they served were an imli and gur slush, kiwi slush, mint lemonade slush, orange juice slush, and a pomegranate and black pepper slush – all shot sizes.At the end, you have a choice of gajar ka halwa, khajoor ka halwa, malpuris, and kulfi. For me the khajoor ka halwa was superb. I would get that on top of any other dessert, any given day.Long story short, this place is an experience of an own. If you have the budget, and someone you want to impress, then well – this place won’t let you down.
The East End is not the right value for money. They serve desi food with below average taste. The 5 dishes fusion cuisine is basically appetizers like Chaat, Chatni, etc. Definetly not worth it.
Taste is good....Appetizers choices are just average...Service is below average...
Its a great place to taste some of the finest food in the city. They have limited seating, so its better to reserve in advance. Their customer service, food quality, food quantity and presentation all are excellent.
The food and drinks are delicious but a bit pricey
Very good bohri food. 5 course meals are served very elegantly
Loved the Unique Concept and Karachi-Flavoured (Our most Ethnically Diverse City) Ambiance. The Device was friendly and informative. As if that wasnt enough to bring me back again and again to explore the variety of tastes, Every Single Dish was superbly cooked! Well done.
Always been a fan. Heighly recommended
Good restaurant and clean area .
Always a pleasure dining out at The East End. Amazing food, great ambiance and just overall a great experience. Come prepared for the five course meal - everyone is bound to leave completely stuffed!
Amazing Place a food place for real foodies
Very tasty food with good experience.. just change the gravel flooring that is on one side. It makes sitting experience a bit worse
I dont think there are any bad reviews about this place. Authentic Bohri cuisine experience. Great fine dining experience.
One of the best culinary experiences in Karachi. Love the keemari crabs the most. And of course the appetizers.
I was delighted during my business trip to Karachi to have the chance to eat in such an authentic restaurant. 5 course dinner, and they catered especially for me as a vegetarian. The fusion food is really well done, the decoration is lovely, and most importantly the service was very good. Would definitely come again
Amazing atmosphere. The food is very good withA Desi touch and is presented lavishly. Keep it up!
One of the best dinner I have had in Karachi
Good ambiance. Food was quite tangy, I must say. Nonetheless, a great experience. Definitely a must try!
Food is great but omg why did they have to pick papyrus font for their sign? It’s almost as bad as comic sans!!!
Loved the winter outdoor look and service
Amazing experience. Amazing food
A very ordinary name for an extraordinary place. Bohri fusion fine dining.The waiter had to explain the complicated menu several times to us.For serious food lovers. Everything was interesting and the little shots of juices were unusual and really delicious.Be sure to get a doggy bag, if you cannot polish off everything in the restaurant.Great ambience. Feels like you are outside because of the pebble flooring. No irritating music, which recently seems to have become a hallmark of the Karachi dining experience.
Hidden from public, very exclusive, high end bohra restaurant. Serving 5 course dinner with nice variety of appetisers. Main course, equally delightful. Enjoyed it throughly with my besties
Miss the place. Have had a few lovely, leisurely dinners, here.
Starter and drinks are excellent, main course is ok but overall its a good experience.
Excellent food! Great little hidden gem of a place for ethnic Pakistani cuisine! Everything we ordered was awesome. Highly recommended if you enjoy good quality food, and can handle some spice!
Awesome food, service and presentation
Rather interesting and delicious take of traditional food.
Great ambience!! Great food!! Great place for two
Always a wonderful full experience, a place I visit regularly for crabs. Ive tried almost every dish from menu and all the dishes were awsome. I love thier bbq prawns which they serves as starter. Service is little slow and they dont accept payment from the cards which is sometimes annoying.
Loved it the first time I went. The second time too. Subsequently, however, the quality doesnt seem to be the same although its still definitely a place is go to again.
What a treat to be here. The ambiance and the food were excellent, the service was fantastic. The best thing was that I didnt find any stupid children jumping and shouting, and no cheap youngsters talking loudly.
Service was terrible. They had no idea on how to accommodate a sharing group. Terrible use of cutlery and horrible attitude. Food was average.
The place set of cuisines. Starters are served first followed by main course and finally desserts. Everytime is served with defined interval which makes it easy to take food and enjoy.
Amazingg experience
Food was different. An entirely different eating experience. Staff was so good and accommodating. Overall it was an amazing experience.
East end turns food into an experience. Best food and awesome creations.
Great place. Hidden pearl. Very tasty food. Cant believe. Wonderful
A wonderful experience. Menu options are limited and you only get to choose the main course and the desert. All options come as a 5 course meal. Appetizers and 4 shot glasses of different variety of drinks are served as per the main course you select. Meals range between 2200 to 3000 PKR. Food is amazing and the set up is pretty good too. Proper fine dining experience for Desi food
Excellent and unique experience here. They serve five course meals, and things you dont get anywhere else. Taste was brilliant for most of the meal, including drinks that they serve. Beef Potli in appetizers was amazing.Price; Would have rated five stars, had it not been for very high price. Though its justified for one time experience, but not for frequent visits.
It was quite different and everything tasted great. Bring an appetite though the five courses will be heavy, punctuated with icy drinks
Food was a 4/5. Its different, the appetizers are nice so are the drinks. The main courses lack the wow factor, theyre too basic.
Far the best food in town
Juices are the speciality.
Very courteous and nice staff. We didnt had a reservation but when they got to know that its our anniversary they immediately seated us. We opted for the gujrati menu and I cant describe how much we loved it. From the appetizers to the main course to the drink served in shots, we loved it all. And yeah the dessert was great as well. Definitely coming back to try their sea food now.
Amazing food, amazing ambience
Not as good as i expected as per previous high ratings. Dining here is a unique experience, yes, but you dont get the value for your money. Ambience and lighting were poor. Starters were average, their small drinks during while meal were good, but my biggest disappointment was their main course. We ordered two and both were just average. Desserts and tea are also just above average. And all of it costs you 3000 per person which is too much in my opinion. May be i will visit once more and try out one other main course some day. But for now my opinion is that you can visit it once only to experience their unique style and small menu
Best place and best good
The best place for a special diner for two or three or as many you want
One of the best unique high end dine out places in Karachi. I loved their food thoroughly. 5 course meal plan of theirs is unique on its own. They are classic South Asian food outlet and best one around. The high price list is the only thing that may keep visitor at limited appearances at this place. However, food their is worth its price.
Stunning food. An exquisite 5 course meal comprising of Bohra specialities as well as classic Karachi food served by very well trained waiters. This place is as quintessentially Karachi as it gets. Its a must visit if youre in the city.
The only downside for me was that the food that wasnt of my liking and the prices were far too steep. On the other side, I do like their concept of a course meal but i think they should change their location to somewhere better.
Over priced.Very slow service.Food not really worth the money OR the wait.Highly disappointing experience overall.
Extremely high end in terms of food prices but worth it once in a blue moon for the experience and food. Each course is explained and detailed by servers
Food is Good but attitude of staff is very poor. Very rude and not so accomodating!!
First time ever I dined at such a fancy restaurant and OH BOY, it was such a good experience! I admit that its a little expensive, but the food is definitely worth it fellas. The environment, lighting, music and of course, the services are also top notch. Kudos to all those who come here. And if youve not yet eaten here already, then what are you waiting for?
If you are couple, must go and enjoy it romantic ambiance, they have different and attractive style of presentation, i am sure you will enjoy.
Good
The most unique and diverse meal in Karachi. An extensive menu and excellent quality make this one of the best dining experiences. Highly recommended!
Excellent food. A real gem in the Karachi food scene. Local cuisine and Bohra community dishes. We really liked the way the food is served in five courses with a small drink.
Cozy place located in a converted or retrofitted basement. Expensive beyond reason even for their 5-course claim. Seems as though condiments become a course. Mains had some taste but by that time there would be not enough appetite left. Its a very expensive insight into Bohra community palate. Book seats ahead. Some times they will accommodate without a pre-booked arrival. May not recommend to people looking for quality food as the prices are unreasonable and do not include taxes. Costs amount to 2600 to 2900 Rs/person per meal.
Extremely expensive foodServing pattern is French styleFood is good but some dishes are just average , ambiance is niceClean environment. Yet nothing seems worth.
Pricey but a very interesting experience. Try it out!
Stand out experience from the usual copy paste eateries. Tasty, good service and decent decor. Offers a five course meal so make sure youve had a light breakfast/lunch that day.
Different experience. 5 course meal. Every course is a treat for your taste buds.
Brilliant food, excellent atmosphere. Clean. Starters are brought to you on the basis of what you ordered and drinks are served along with the starters as well. Nothing but praise and some of the best food in karachi
Too expensive for what they offer. Nothing extra ordinary.
Impressive Presentation!
Great ambiance, even better food!
This place is Bohra fine dining. Beautifully executed five course dining experience. Everything was very good.
Bohra Restaurant
As usual the East End team served a great Valentines dinner. The main course is rocking. Starters now need to change. Service was very good.
