Review:

I would like to add a disclaimer that I have been going to this restaurant for many years so the review may be a little biased. Alongside that remains the fact that the place has outlived many restaurants in the area in its 30+ years of existance.

Parking is generally crazy, but somehow the cars all manage to find a space within walking distance. There is a family room and some general seating downstairs, but I have almost always eaten in the car. The service is quick and to the point, though its super crowded, it might be a hassle to find your waiter. If you're into eating amidst the hustle and bustle of MA Society, this place is great especially with its corner position.

I normally have a staple order; a grilled chicken cheese sandwich and a beef cheese burger. If you're eating in pairs, then the ideal combo is to have half of each. Its really filling. They are both delicious. The grilled chicken cheese sandwich is slightly spiced chicken covered generously with cheese grilled to perfection (though it has become slightly oily in the last two or three years its still better compared to some other placed with similar offerings). The beef cheese burger is one of the juiciest ground beef patty burgers I have eaten in Karachi, topped with the same delicious cheese and extremely fresh bread its great. The fries are quite good as well. Coleslaw is just okay. I have always had the drinks chilled from this place. Never tried the desserts here because I'm normally full after the burger/sandwich.

Overall I would like to recommend this place to anyone visiting MA Society. Excellent cheap meal to have with friends or family. They have a large variety of options and I have often seen people order BBQ or Desi food here without complaints. Please do comment if you've been here and have something to add to the review.
