This was a really good experience, especially at night time the outdoor dining set up was really beautiful and the service was amazing. Everything recommended to us was great and taste was also good.

Great Ambiance with perfect lighting. Specially loved the large french windows giving the restaurant a spacious feeling. Overall the food presentation and service were excellent The food was quite tasty and not overbearing with spices or sauces. You could actually taste the meat in each dish. For starters we orders chicken pot pie, pineapple beef salad, and stuffed mushrooms. All were good. I like the chicken pot pie the best. Pineapple Salad was served in half cut pineapple which was a nice touch. For main course we had Veal Chops, Chicken Miso, Red Snapper, and Beef Fillet. Although the Beef fillet was a bit dry and over cooked all other dishes were done fabulously. My favourite would be Veal and Snapper. For Dessert we had the Belgian Tart , Three milk cake, and Chocolate orange cake. If you are a chocolate lover than do Belgian tart. The chocolate orange cake was also good but not as good as Flo.I would go there again.

It’s a beautiful fine-dine place with above average food. I’d personally visit it again to absorb the aesthetics rather than food.

The food was extremely tasty. Though on the pricier side. One should keep minimum of PKR 3,000 for a meal.

I dont see the hype. Its good food but good is the only word I have to describe it. Its not certainly pricey and the restaurant can do with some maintainance. Especially that god awful noisy fountain in the middle of the room that splashes water on you.The complimentary bread was very good. I enjoyed that more than the main course which was avacado oil prawn linguine. The food could definitely be better. However the main was much than the famed lotus cheesecake. That was just plain boring.

Amazing experience. thee veal was too good, melted right in the mouth . and the ravioli was the best Ive had in Pakistan. would definitely recommend Lotus cheese cake for dessert.everything this place does is just bit better than all the other fine dining restaurants in the area .

Very savoury food. Ordered grilled calamari, roast fillet of beef, crusted sesame fish and fruit pavlova. Calamari was quite ambrosial. Beef fillet was juicy, tender and had original taste. Fish was very soft, light and tasted good. Fruit pavlova was very nice, albeit they must have topped with more fruit. Ambiance is nice. Overall great experience.

Recently came across great reviews about this new eatery that has opened up at Ittehad (the road across PSO).Thyme RestaurantComplimentary bread: Loved the roasted garlic, olive oil and balsamic vinegar compote. Olive bread was nice but denser than I’d prefer.Tomato soup and stuffed mushrooms for appetiser: Delicious. But I’d still go to pompei for the shrooms.The mains: Red Snapper and some shrimp spaghetti. Spaghetti was sloppy and tangier than necessary. Go to cotie rotie if you want a nice shrimp linguine.Now the red snapper was something I’d go back for. Originally served with lemon herb sauce on top, but I requested for it to be served on the side so I could pour as per my preference. Luckily, they served an additional black pepper sauce and I was in fish heaven! Perfectly cooked snapper with a delicious black pepper sauce on top! Loved my main!Dessert: Victorian sponge cake. So so so damn good! Who is their pastry chef! Going back for that one too!Overall: Beautiful interior, courteous helpful staff, great service, wonderful ambience and good food. I’ll be going back.Total bill was around PKR 4-5k for two people

The set up is beautiful. The food was good but not amazing. I ordered the stuffed chicken with risotto, the chicken was a little chewy but the risotto was amazing. My friend ordered a chicken parmesan, which was underwhelming. Our drinks were wonderful though - Raspberry Spitzer and Mint Juleps. For dessert, we had the Belgian Chocolate Tart and Strawberry Shortcake - both of which were pretty decent. Particularly the strawberry shortcake.The setup is very beautiful. Currently undergoing a revamping to straighten out kinks. They also offer private bookings, for which there is a cosy, elegant setup in the basement.

Starter was free & it was olivr bread with butter & ginger. Main Courses werent tasty at all. Steak wasnt mouth melting had to chew very hard. Chicken tarragon was just okay. Might be my experience wasnt good do let me know.

Opened up on a Sunday for us! Am so glad they did. The food was superb from the soup to salads, appetizers and mains. Lovely Sunday lunch with excellent service. However their catering service is just useless. Plz never call them for catering. Their service is pathetic. They were asked to cater for 55 ppl n they brought food for only 20ppl. And the rest of the food came after 45 min. Half of my guests left without eating. They ruined my dinner event. Pathetic!

Review №19

Really liked the way the place is done up, very tasteful and quaint. The food is also quite good, tried the Arrabiata pasta which was packed full of flavour. The real winner is the dessert though, that Lotus Cheesecake is probably the best one in the city. Would recommend Thyme for special dinners or for a regular dessert day out

The blow torch prawns were brilliant and so was the miso chicken (missed photo capturing that) but this pistachio tart has me addicted and according to the waiter, this is an in house recipe from the owners themselves.Also, go for the raspberry fizzy they have on the menu.

A seasoned restaurant with Mediterranean and international food and style. New Location is off Ithehad. Spacious and comfortable. Cool stylish interior. Great food, as always. Blow torch prawn, four cheese Rivoli, pan fried salmon, penne arbiata, and Teragon chicken. Soft hot buns with charred garlic was a good idea and scrumptious. Very well mannered staff.

Thyme is considered one of best restaurants to open up in the past year or so. We were two couples and after many plans to visit we finally got there! Our experience was enjoyable and we found the food ingredients were top notch but found the talk on food groups had built up way too much hype in our mind. Alhamdulillah though we didnt really have any negative experiences.Let start by saying the Dessert was marvelous. The Lotus Cheesecake was just the right blend of taste and the Tiramisu had that amazing kick of coffee that may not jive with the normal Pakistani palate (the waiter tried to talk us out of it).The complimentary bread that was served was so good we actually asked for more. Served with Garlic infused Balsamic Vinegar and Butter on the side, the only thing that disappointed was that bigger portions of both of those would have been better.The Tomato Soup was just right and not the standard soup from a can you find in most places.The Blowtorch Prawns starter had 4 decent sized prawns in a slightly sweet glaze which was good. However, I wouldnt say they had a wow factor to them.The Beef & Pineapple salad sounded exotic but it didnt impress us much.Wanted to try the Chicken Crown and Gnocchi but unfortunately they only serve 5 portions per day and we were out of luck.The Pimento Chicken was your standard Moroccan Chicken seen elsewhere around Karachi with a slightly more zing.The fish we ordered on the Specials menu (something Fish with Chilli Oil & Lemongrass?) was a great choice.The famous Rack of Veal had been highly recommended and while it was indeed well executed and a great filling portion, it maybe was the most hyped up item in our minds and thus fell short of expectations.Overall at Rs 10550 (before tip) it actually ended up slightly below the expected Rs 3000/- per head which is a good thing no doubt!Overall it was an enjoyable dinner despite not living up to our mental image.

Very delicious food and a very good ambience. The service is polite, though the waiter taking our order suddenly stepped away, in between the conversation, to attend other people who arrived and hence we weren’t sure if our order had been taken. Other than that, it was all great. Sesame crusted fish and Belgian tart are highly recommended.

Review №37

The ambiance is very good but the food is below average. The Seasonal Salad was filled with mayo sauce and the stuffed Chicken had too much of mustard taste. They were gracious enough to make me an off menu item (spaghetti with red sauce and prawns) but the chilli and oil drowned all the flavour. All in all I would suggest people not to visit this place not only for its taste but for the value as well.

Review №38

Superb quality and taste - . Considering that we were a large group at dinner, we got to order salad, soup and main courses and everything was delicious.It is recommended that you make prior booking as I noticed that many groups had to leave due to no prior reservations. Service quality has room for improvement, hopefully the management will take care of that aspect soon.Highly recommended.

One of the worst experience Ive had!Okay lets start from the beginning, the ambiance was good Ill give you points for that the waiters were decent so the service wasnt that bad either but thats not what feeds a human being now does it.Moving on to the food (now comes the part which has not left me traumatized but also proven the fact that a lot of people with money and no experience or taste buds have gotten into the food industry hence the short life of the restaurants in the city). For starters the bread basket or tray was fresh and tasted decent which gave me hope not too sure about the garlic but thats an acquired taste so cant shift the blame entirely. There were 3 couples so we ordered a few items1. Hummus which tasted fine you cant go wrong with the hummus atleast but the bread wasnt a great match as nor the portions of the bread left us unsatisfied.2. Moving on to the main courses 2 portions of parmento chicken were ordered as soon as they arrived one friend joked that yay to curry(kari) chawal agay, naan lana bhool gay the food was ordered with a hit of tanginess and spiciness and also the chicken seemed as it was malnutritioned probably fed at thyme too and it smelt really bad too. When using frozen chicken then learn to cook it properly and hire experienced cooks.3. Beef with turkey bacon was ordered, the turkey smelt soo bad and tasted bad too that even after being covered in sauce the smell and taste could not be changed, it was sent back and when bought back after another excruciating 20 mins it tasted the same.4. The only thing that cant be complained about is stuffed chicken.5. Saving best for last! The pasta omg! ONE OF THE WORST PASTA I HAVE TASTED IN MY ENTIRE LIFE AND THAT INCLUDES BURNT OR RAW PASTA!!! it tasted so bad that we didnt have the courage of sending it back as some poor animal may get to eat that when chucked in the bin and that would be animal cruelty!6. The drinks were overrated too apart from the Pepsi that was ordered.All in all the food tasted like theres a bet going on to see how thyme can get away with serving unfit for human consumption food and still get away it and for how long.The waiters overheard our entire conversation regarimding the food and they couldnt carel less as not once did they come to ask how the food was and if anything could be changed or improved.The price we paid was obscene if restricting it financially and phenomenal if I include the wastage of time, experience and the horror the taste buds had to endure.After being robbed of 13k we all went to buy nuggets/fries and rolls to feed us and which absolutely did.You are requested to either close down your establishment as you can imagine what I am feeling to write such a detailed review or a rant some might say..The owner is also requested to contact me directly with the proposal of compensation in mind.Thank you.

Had a chance to visit this place. Appetizers were good but mains were not that impressive. Ordered pimento chicken, Chicken was overcooked and the sauce was quite hot though the dish was suppose to be spicy and tangy and mix of various spices but all i could taste was hard chicken and only hotness of the dish. Loved the cheesecake though and will definately visit for the cake again. Looking for an improved experience on next visit.
