Anybody who tells we Karachi does not have a accumulation of restaurants, doesn’t unequivocally know a city. The capital has opened a doors to a new eatery and here’s what we consider of it.
With American and European style interior, Grotto cafeteria not usually has an endless menu, though a government also pays tighten courtesy to patron satisfaction. The staff is well-behaved and knows a menu good enough to assistance business collect their order.
Located during Bukhari Commercial in Karachi’s DHA, Grotto’s interior is contemporary and stylish, while a colour palette is elementary though superb creation a atmosphere comfortable and welcoming.
Upon being seated, we were presented packet lemonade shots as acquire drinks which, in this feverishness and after a prolonged day of work, were ideal to set a moods for a dinner.

The Thai prawn cakes were low fried, and while they didn’t demeanour as appealing as a other appetisers and were utterly dry from a inside, once eaten with a sauces, a spices were usually right, creation a cakes ambience pretty good.

The spinach and artichoke drop was one of a many appetising dishes of a night. The drop was creamy, with a essence of spinach and artichoke entrance by with usually a right volume of cheese. Served with toasted baguettes, this was a plate we couldn’t take a hands off.
Our third appetiser was a grilled calamari. Slightly distrustful of a choice of grilled calamari over a boiled one, we were agreeably astounded and not during all disappointed. Served with honeyed chili sauce, a calamari was soothing and flavoursome. Not to forget, a display was beautiful.
Our favourite among a mains was a Thai duck with cashew nuts. Served with garlic rice, a plate was sweet, sharp and ideally rounded; from a break of a cashew nuts to a honeyed peppers, it was perfect.
Moroccan duck in gravy.
We also attempted a garlic pasta, a grilled Atlantic red limp and Moroccan duck in gravy out of that a Moroccan duck was maybe a usually plate value essay home about. While a plate was not a many authentic chronicle of itself, it had a amiable though pleasing flavour.
Grilled Atlantic Red Snapper.
Among a former two, a grilled Atlantic red limp unsuccessful to deliver. The plate had distant too many confused components and didn’t even demeanour really appetising. On a other hand, a garlic pasta looked good though lacked flavour. The fettucine was distant too dry and could really have used some some-more sauce.
All in all, as any other newbie to a batch of eateries in a city, Grotto too had some hits and misses. Some flavours, however, are good value a try.
