Absolutely wonderful food every single time. Creme Brulee and the Marinara are absolutely fantastic. They do a fairly decent espresso too, though always leave some ground at the bottom of the cup. Get a table outside, this is one of the few places in Karachi where you can sit outside and still feel safe.

While close to everything, this is in a relatively secluded place, away from the chaos of the city. Quite pricey but very good, high-end, Western food.

Pompei is an Italian style restaurant in the old Cantt Railway Station grounds in Karachi. The setting and atmosphere is very pleasant with nice outside seating for smokers.

good Italian fare, cooked well. Has a limited menu but they know what they're doing, stick with it and the result is quite consistent night after night.

Pompeii was introduced to us through friends who invited us with a couple visiting from US. Lovely restaurant and sumptuous food. Though the roads leading to the restaurant are quite in bad shape. Located in the railways colony, housed in the same building a famous Gym is.

This is one of the most recommended restaurants in Karachi. It is located in a serene location, which is a located conveniently (the roads are a little bad) yet it is peaceful and serene. The service, food, ambiance and everything is very very good.

Consistently excellent food and excellent service. The seafood chowder is to die for. Pasta dishes are very good; the fillet melts in your mouth ... some of the best beef I have ever had. For dessert, try the lemon and basil sorbet. I have not met anyone yet who does not love it.
