Good food and crowd, trying their best during the pandemic.My burger had a brown hair in it, so they offered a replacement though it took a while for it to arrive.

This place is perfect for continental food, Everything of its mwnus tastes good! The quantity is also well satisfying and ambiance was beautiful covered in green and steel! Parmesan Chicken is my favorite from the menu, calamari was good I loved butterscotch dessert ️

Overall OK. But coffee didnt smell or taste that good and the plants around us were dusty and the waiters didnt serve with a smile.

I ordered chicken chipotle , they looked so yummy but the chapati they used instead of tacos kept breaking in my hands and I couldnt take a single bite. Ended up eating in a bowl. So basically I had chicken in chipotle sauce. Manager was kind enough to acknowledge and didnt charge the whole amount.

I never understood the hype about xnders. The food is overly expensive and pretty bland. Everything is uselessThis spinach pasta was around 900 and it was close to being taste less. Yes the ambiance is good. But the food is pretty average. Or below. This place is overrateddddd

I went at breakfast time. Food was very cold. I ordered fish and chips and it smelled like it was raw and was very stale. Sandwiches were too cold. Alfredo wasn’t seasoned properly.The chairs and tables are in a really bad state with stains and hair on them. Service was good.

One of the finest eateries in Karachi which has been consistent over the years. Good quality food with great customer service and delivers value for money. Would highly recommend their pizzas and the signature flourless chocolate cake. Seafood is also quite nice; although, didn’t really enjoy their beef steaks.Xander’s also offers good breakfast options. The ambience is lively and a non-gaudy interior uplifts my mood anyway. Do hit it up if you’re in town.

Atmosphere is ok. ACs were not fully functional when we visited during noon. Serving quantity is not much compared to what is being charged. However, their special dessert is outstanding and I highly recommend it.

First time I had a bad experience at Xanders. Had to request twice for the appetizers, then it was served with the main course which was also not up to the mark and cold.

The taste of the steak was not good at all. Steak is a juicy beef. But the steak that Xanders had was neither juicy nor soft. But the Steak you had was a lot harder. And your Mushroom Sauce wasnt too delicious either. And your Prawn & Calamari Spaghetti wasnt too good and delicious. Meaning you may not recognize what you are eating while eating. And when we complaint to your waiter , he said this is peek time.My experience is worst.

Xanders is a modern gourmet café at E Street there is another branch of it but I usually goto E Street branch.I love to go here for breakfasts. Their cafe mocha is quite good. The only thing I dont like about this cafe is in the building that has so many other things as well.Their open sandwiches are my favourites and margarita pizza is also good.A good simple, clean place with excellent service.Would definitely recommend it.4 out of 5 stars !

Review №31

Good quality continental food. Best pizza I have eaten anywhere. Waiters need to be trained not to bring the main course to the table till finished with the soup and other appetizers. Also to bring the main course all together for all the customers, and not one after the other while their food gets cold waiting for others who are still waiting for their food.

I wonder how can a restaurant go towards declination in terms of quality, taste and service. Food taste is so pathetic and service is so slow, even after the wait of almost half an hour they serve you raw and improperly cooked food.

Xanders is one of those league restaurants where you can enjoy hand tossed freshly baked Spanish pizza or have there wholesome apple french toast with freshly brewed espresso shots.The place is however crowded at nighttime and best to get an early arrangement done.

Service: 1/5 Food: 3/5. Food: We had the Gouda burger which was nicely made - the patty wasn’t juicy however, even though i asked for a medium. The fries were just average. The chimichurri sauce steak was cooked nicely and was presented well. The bad part: the crispy fried chicken with Parmesan sauce didn’t taste like anything. I could make it better at home. The pizza toppings were quality - but I’ve had way better thin crust pizzas. The dough could have been a more airy and a tad bit more salty.Drinks: blue margarita was good, cranberry ginger cocktail tasted like water mixed with cranberry juice topped with yesterday’s mint leaves.Service: we could clearly hear the waiters quarreling over tables, throwing tantrums at each other saying i won’t serve this food at all, you do it yourself etc. It was chaos and totally ruined our experience.Ambiance: all we could smell for the first 30 minutes was the smoke from cheap mosquito coils. For goodness’ sake, invest in electric heaters. You aren’t some roadside chips wala!Last visit: 5th March, 2019

XandersSecond day in Karachi and was looking for a good breakfast.. everyone kept saying to head to Xanders. Hadn’t been before and now I keep asking myself why it took me so long to finally try this place. So we had....Short Rib Egg Benedict (9/10)Anyone who has ever cooked an Egg Benedict knows it’s not an easy dish to get right and trust me, I’ve broken enough egg yolks in the process to know! This Benedict was so well balanced.. each individual item was made just right. Normally, restaurants overload on the vinegar in the Hollandaise sauce and the kick is usually too much but in this the ratio was perfect. The meat was tender and pulled off the bone and well cooked. Probably one of the best Benedicts I’ve had in the country.Mediterranean Omelette (1/10)Jitna acha Benedict tha, utna bura Mediterranean omelette tha. Never been a fan of black olives but it felt like Xanders has a black olive surplus in the inventory pantry because calling it loaded with it, inside and on top, was an understatement. The capsicum stuffed inside was raw with no hint of cheese, or flavour for that matter found anywhere. Had a few bites and returned it. It was atrociously bad!Nutella French Toast (9/10)The only reason this wasn’t 10/10 is because the serving was too little!! Yaar this was the best Nutella French toast I’ve had ever.. like ever! When we ordered, I was expecting s generic French toast loaded with Nutella made the world over and wasn’t too excited abt it but one bite and I was transported to my happy place! Ufff so good! Especially the caramelised Apple stuffed inside the toast, when eaten with the raw freshly cut pieces!! Mannn I wanna have it again lol.. but just when you start enjoying the flavours, it’s finished! Farrrkkkkkk Blueberry Smoothie bowl (10/10)The highlight of the breakfast.. didn’t want to order but the server kept insisting and rightly so. Guys, the idea of an edible smoothie just doesn’t sound appealing but I was so wrong!! It literally felt like being slapped in the face (in a good way) every bite I took. The berry yogurt mix packed a punch and it was loaded with blueberries. The mix was covered with ample fruits and nuts! A must have!!!Mixed chai (0/10) - Skinny Latte (8/10)I don’t understand why these places can’t do a decent chai. It’s not the difficult guys!! Skinny latte was lovely, the beans felt freshly ground roasted and ground. Good coffee!Service (10/10)Professional staff that actually knew what was in the food they’re serving.. made the best recommendations and when we returned the omelette, the manager himself attended to my complain. Polite and very accommodating! It was definitely an addition to the whole experience at Xanders.Verdict: coming back fo’sure!!!Damage: Rs. 3650 (worth every rupee)

When you go to Xanders you always know that you will have a good experience. We ordered Chimichuri beef and Roasted Chicken with spinach and tomatoes. Thats our usual. I just feel they need new stuff on their menu and need to renovate their place a little.

I am travelling from Canada, and this place made me feel very welcome, and very respected. I have come here multiple times for both the food and the service. I would give this place more then 5 stars if I could. The atmosphere, food, drinks, desserts, and ESPECIALLY the service is the best of all of Karachi. Xanders will not disappoint you!

Review №78

The place is a bit hard to find because the sign of the boutique obscures the Xanders sign, which is also hidden by foliage. I liked the ambiance and decor; it was very green and the plants made it much more appealing. One can take great photos here.The actual meals I didn’t like very much. I ordered a pasta. The price did not justify the taste and I did not even finish my meal, opting to pack it and taking it away in case someone else would eat it.The service was very good and the staff was very friendly.

Xanders is the place if you love gourmet breakfast. And its offered at all hours of the day.It also has a long menu of delicious sandwiches, hamburgers, salads, desserts, and other variety of dishes on the lighter side.Its located in a very elite neighborhood of Karachi. Price wise it can only be classified as on the higher side justifying its quality and variety of dishes.Again, if visiting Karachi you got to go their for breakfast at least once. You may return for it a lot more

Top rated restaurant in Karachi!You find delicious menu with a nice Ambience. No wonder that it is one of the top rated restaurants. The waiter and order takers know every detail of the items listed on menu.The chefs are truly great at what they do in Xanders. The staff could be trained a little bit more to bring perfection.A premium place for dine in. However, The service is slow. The waiter takes forever for bring the bill and then the change. Beware!

Keeping the concept of simple, fresh ingredients in mind within the set up of a modern gourmet café, Xanders has made its way into Karachis culinary scene within a short span of time.Xanders is one of my favourite restaurants!

My kids took me for my birthday dinner to Xanders . The Restaurant environment was very lively with youthful cheering, place seems like favourite with youth.I bet You wont feel alone even if not with any company due to warm and pleasant aura. We, three , ordered different dishes ,steak with beans,chicken parmesan and burger. All dishes had distinct flavours and tasted good except that burger is not this Restaurant kind of eat. Meat was tender ,staff was attentive. Interior was intriguing, not consisting of single rectangular hall as most Restaurant instead , separate eating areas,few tables in small rectangle room, couple of outside in open, few in gallery ,aesthetically very impressive.Good place to dine once in a while.Date of visit: October 24th 2019.

Xanders is located at an extravagant area of Clifton. This is a casual restaurant with usually a trendy and casual crowd. The place is small though it has three types of sittings. It has an outer space for the people to enjoy the open sky, it has an indoor space adjacent to the kitchen where guests could enjoy there food while it is served directly and lastly it has a roof top for people to enjoy the open air atmosphere while having there dine. There is usually alot of rush and waiting is very common especially in weekends at dinner or at Friday at lunch time. The moment you enter the restaurant the waiter would put a disclaimer that the restaurant is full and your waiting may end in 20 t0 25 minutes. They further put another statement in front of you that it may get earlier or later than 20 or 25 minutes for your turn to come. However some people stay and some leave. The ones who stay usually get there turns and sit. Even if you request the waiter inside to provide you any roof space then the waiter shall provide it. The food is very tasty and much reasonable in terms of there area and ambience. You get good burgers, steaks and cakes. Its a good place to spend good time and hangbout with your friends.
