Well its a decent place with outdoor sitting specially during Covid19.. Services are pretty good.
Loved the ambiance of this place. The plants, trees and the soft, low lighting give you a really nice, calm feeling as youre waiting for your order to arrive. I ordered the Parmesan Crusted Chicken. It came with a side of mashed potatoes and veggies. The chicken was nice and hot. It was super well cooked. The exterior of the chicken was nicely crusted and the inside was soft. The parmesan gave it a smooth flavour overall which i absolutely loved. The veggies and mashed potatoes are really enjoyable with the chicken. Next time definitely gonna try the Almond Crusted Chicken.
A very comfortable place to dine out with your friends and family. The menu is quite exotic specific to formal dine out. You wont find fast food items like burgers or fries on the menu rather specific dining continental dishes.In my opinion Koel Cafe is worth dining out occasionally not just a one time go.
Elitest of the elite, a place to socialize, see new trends of society, meet who is who of Karachis art, literary, performing arts, indulge in stylized dressing, home decor, next level artists crafted furniture, get to know, enthusiastic young students, or simply go in for half an hour of Tea or Coffee with munching. 5 star all the way.
Excellent food. And following all COVID SOPs
Went to Koel cafe yesterday and the food was not good. I ordered Alfredo with blackened chicken and it had soo much black pepper crusted on it that it was almost impossible to eat it because it became too spicy to consume. Moreover the bowl in which i was served was a little broken it had a piece of glass broken and a crack on the side. I also ordered risotto with grilled chicken while it was nice i personally believe the chicken-to-rice ratio was not balanced. There was too much risotto. But the service was good and the ambiance is also nice.
Great variety in menu. The ambiance is pretty cosy. Good for spending an evening with friends and even a late dinner with family. The serving size is also good value for money.
Ordered steak was served cold! Good place to hangout nice view with bad food! Soup was good. Bit overpriced
Redeemed Bogo voucher. Got 2 yummy steaks for just 1200. Great taste
Love everytime i go thr. From food to ambiance and their service everything is excellent
I give 3 just of ambianceI ordered Mushroom soup it was not very hotGrilled chicken with Teragon sauce was too salty and lasagna is just okService is slow even though they compensate with a Sour fresh orange juice, but still overall is just so so
Beautiful place... Must go for their creamy chicken soup and steaks
A very unique environment. Theres a certain romance in the architecture.
This is good place for purchasing something in this corona period. Public dealing is very nice.we can take some decent dresses from Koel.
The ambiance was execellent ..very calmful place ..best for dinner delicious food they have
Outdoor sitting area is good. Food is good too
The ambiance is great and i bet food would be great too but they are not paying attention to details. For example when I went to use the washroom there was not any water.
The food was okay. Nothing special. The ambience is is definitely wins over food.
Good part:Food was excellent (except dessert), serving was on time, good portion and value for money.Bad part:Even after reservation, seating arrangement was unexpectedly at wrong place, provided two chairs for three people to sit (can you imagine), no reception system which resulted in every guest to walk all the way inside the restaurant allowed to be seated or guided by the restaurant staff. Our seating was next to connecting door to gallery area, which was huge inconvenience.Now the dessert, we were requested to wait for 10 minutes as they were baking chocolate lava cake freshly but when served, it was only warm, whereas it was supposed to be oven hot.Recommended for food but the restaurant need to work on these points too.
Good variety delicious food. Value for money.
The way they serve steaks are not upto the mark.They should consider serving in sizzlers or atleast in temperature controlled warm dishes.Little bit disappointed with overall experience.
I dont have a personal experience to go there but one of my uncle who had a good dining experiences in Koel Cafe earlier but on 26 oct it was embarrasing for him as he invited three guests including two foreign nationals visiting Karachi to Koel.Booking reference Syed Naqvi 8 pm. reservation.One guest found a hair in main dish. When shown to waiter it was taken quite casually with a simple word of sorry. It should have been taken seriously and dish should have been replaced with proper regret from the manager.But nothing was done until asked to remove the plate. The guest felt so disgusted that he refuse to take anything else.
The oh so worth it outside sitting area. Good food and good ambiance.
Koel cafe has got the vibe, the food and its got an art gallery next door. Its hot for taking selfies and Instagram but its got so much more going on. Whether youre here to just get a snap or enjoy a nice meal with a frds in a Mediterranean/jungle setting or view art, it feels like its open to all types of archetypes. Defo try their kulcha with blackened chicken, sauce is up to your palette.
Loved the ambience. Waiters were polite and efficient. Food was delish!!!
Beautiful ambience and excellent food. The only food place where lush green environment gives you a sense of being. It is so well connected with nature!
Absolutely loved it. The only thing that was disappointing was the the size of the portions. Could be added more.
It was good, tasteful food. But I was a bit dissapointed sa the risotto was done with cream. Otherwise the service was great.
Quantity of food was extremely less.Value for money is not at par with what theyre offering.Ambiance is okayImprovement required in taste and flavor.
Delicious food and we availed bogo which gave us good pocket friendly dinner.
Good food. Good ambience. Great opportunities to take photos!
The ambience is very nice. The food had a lot of variety and a full three course meal was exquisitely plated. The taste was ordinary though, the only thing that stood out for being less than perfect.
Excellent ambiance with the most amazing food
Beautiful and comfy place , has a very home-y feel to it. Food was good too. Would love to visit again
It was a lovely time... Love it
Tasted great however, the ambiance needs improvement along with the amount taken to prepare the order.. Otherwise, it was a wonderful experience!!
Food was good but tables and dining chairs lying in lawn or open places where they were serving lunch was of very low grade and having dirty look.
This beauty is not getting the attention it deserves. Such an amazing eatery in the heart of the town. Loved every bit of it. From the food, the ambience to the staff. Such a cozy little place. Loved being there.
Ambience, location, and the place itself is very nice. Food is decent too.
Service wasnt up to the mark. Food was also average. Banofi pie was good.
Loved its food and the ambiance of that place was too good. Service was also good.This place has a Gallery area as well as an outlet of its own Brand
Too much noise, nice ambience , food presentation can b better.
Food is nice.. and the environment is great
To my surprise the food wasnt pipping hot. The ambience was phenomenal food itself tasted okaysh (not that good). PreferredMorrocon chicken over Chicken with tarragon sauce. it was somewhat good. over all experience was good though.
Good ambiance. Lovely place for a casual lunch or dinner.
Superb and quality food..
Good ambiance, nice food & amazing company
Best ambience, good food, family place. The bill was justifiable as well for the taste and quality.
Lovely place.Dishes I enjoyed- Moroccon Chicken- pepperoni PizzaDishes I didnt like- Beef Lasagna- Kulcha sandwichOverall 8/10
Ambiance is nice. However, it is expensive than normal good restaurant
Sea food platter was like scramble egg, I was amazed.. the waiter said , mince of fish and prawns.. haha
The taste was not so good. I dont recommend this place
Chicken Terragon served to me had 60 to 70 grams of chicken breast while they charge around Rs. 850 plus tax for it...Theyve lost the touch they had in past. Not going to dine there ever again
Warm relaxing ambience with good food
Excellent food. Great environment.
Its my favorite quaint little spot for a quick bite or a proper meal!! Love the ambiance and the ethnic touches here and there.At the same time, the food is excellent!! The menu selection is great and whatever we ordered was really fresh and flavorful!Also, the Koel shop is within the compound, so thats an added attraction. They have all sorts of woven, block printed, chunri stuff.. its both stitched and unstitched.So a place worth visiting, every once in a while!!
Starter was excellent but food was average. Ordered cease salad and prawns in starter which was exceptional. Ordered a poultry main and a naan sandwich which were tasteless
Koel Art Gallery designed for exhibitions for the visual arts and the crafts, The gallery is housed in a peaceful place ,where beautiful nature can be enjoyed. Its a worth visiting place for Art lovers
This place has lost its charm because of decline in food quality. A restaurant with good ambiance is good deal ONLY if the food quality is at-least bearable. The quality had been going down since a year but now its unbearably bad.Nan Sandwich is now too dry. Alfredo Pasta has lost its x-factor & so have other items on the already very limited menu.Sad state.Earlier: 9/10Now: 4/10.
The ambience is great. Allows you to have a private lunch in a natural setting specially if the weather is good. However the service takes too long even for the simplest dish or starter expect a bare minimum 30 minute wait. The beverages are good however the main course are sub par. After repeated visits the only good thing on the menu is the Artichoke dip (which probably is the best in town) and the Parmesan chicken. Everything else makes you wonder why you were eating there in the first place.
Such an aesthetic outdoor and indoor sitting area. Amazing for evening outdoor dinner with all the greenery and white themed furniture. Indoor sitting is perfect for a romantic couple dinner with black theme and a candle lit on every table. Food was served hot and on time. It was a quick service. The food was delicious we ordered grill chicken with tarragon sauce. The chicken was cooked to perfection and the sauce had the perfect balance of flavor
Unique, cultured and fascinating space. Outdoor cafe is well shaded with antique frames.
If you go for ambiance so definitely visit this place.Food 7/10
Average ambience. Very high priced, food is average.
Morrocon chicken was mouth watering, ordered iced cappuccino not impressed either by the presentation or taste. Environment is comfortable overall
Cutlery was not clean, glasses were dirty. Was average overall
Best place for taking pictures only.. not a good experience with food..The menu book was dirty.. had oildripped on it..The food was okayish..The ambiance was good..Overall experience 3/5
Environment is good. Food is great.
Amazing ambiance. Good food. Limited menu
Went to koel tonight and was the worst experience since the beginning. At first we were not informed that the food wil be served after 40mins. And on top of that the food was cold and the Kurcha sandwich i would not recommened anyone to have it it was very very very cold.The drinks were served when we finished our food. Later on when it was informed to the manager he was courtious enough to serve us with a Desert and where they took anyother star of my review. Ambience is good but i wouldnt recommend it for food to anyone.
Food, Culture and Shopping, ALL in one place. Relaxing atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating, and a fabulous Art Gallery that holds seriously edgy Exhibitions and Workshops. Do not neglect to walk into The Beautiful Zen Shop on the premises, where you will find Noor Jehan Bilgramis Classical Signature Block Printed Items,and her Fabulous Range of Natural Creams, Massage Oils and Soaps, all with beautiful Eastern Aromas. I got the Motia and Naranjee () Scented ones. They also stock Organic Honey From the Tamir Farms in Islamabad. All told, one of my all time favorite Haunts in the City!
Serving was very slowOne of the tables was near the washroom and it was smelling.Food was amazing. See the pictures.Machar was a constant nagA stray cat came and was there constantly nagging us.
First experience at this place and it was a good one. Its a house turned into cafe. Staff is cooperative and nice. Food is good in quality, taste and presentation. Recommended.We ordered Artichoke and Mozarella sticks as starters. Alfredo pasta and Moroccan chicken as main course.
Amazing location and tasty food with beautiful presentation.They should work on Staff training little to better customer service.Overall gud experience. :)
The best ever cafe
Had a very good time. Do try spinach artichoke dip
Nice place best for ambience point of view for families and friends get together ,not too crowdy ,service was good prices are little high.
Great food and ambiance
Best food, especially the Blackened Chicken Alfredo Pasta and Baked Chocolate Pudding.
Amazing place to visit.
A bit expensive but definitely a must try! Their parmesan chicken is a must try
Very narrow. Small space
Average taste. Very small serving size but great ambiance.
Good food and ambiance but chairs are not comfortable.
Amazing food with great ambiance
Koel s is all about the ambience and with good food it only adds to the experience. You can always pop into the gallery for some art therapy or go check out the sustainable fabric at the store. The tea and coffee is something that needs a boost, they are from the machines and are priced quite steeply.
Awesome feelings when v were there. Amazing place & environment is excellent
Great food and wonderful ambience
Not good food quality, bad customer service and expensive.
Had great experience.
Calm and quiet place to enjoy your food. Good quality food, amazing atmosphere and nice service.
