    Offers a wide variety of cuisines. The restaurant is designed differently from other typical highway restaurants. The service was quick and good. The staff was helpful and attentive. No place for little kids to play though. The food tasted great . Overall good value for money and a good experience. Might be difficult to get a place right away during weekends. There were quite a few people waiting.

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Mangroves, located on the Super Highway. The restaurant's elegant architecture and inviting ambiance create a delightful atmosphere. I was impressed with the timely preparation of my meal, which was not only delicious but also of high quality. I highly recommend a visit to this new attraction. The staff was attentive and regularly checked in to ensure that my dining experience was enjoyable. Additionally, if any issues arose with the food, the restaurant offered complimentary items to make up for it. Overall, I found the food to be excellent, and the level of service to be outstanding.

    A new attraction at Super Highway, with an elegant architecture, nice ambiance, huge space to accommodate around 150 people at a time. There are a few photo corners where you can take some amazing selfies and pictures with friends including old phone both, golden wings😍. Timely preparation of food. Appreciate the taste and quality of food. Every dish with right taste and aroma. Nice place to chill out with family, sit relax with s view of highway and soft evening/ night breeze.

    We had ordered Mutton Ghazni Kabab, Mutton Adana Kabab and Makhni Daal handi. The food and ambience was 10/10, perfectly perfect! As we were there on weekday, we were able to get space to sit on the top third floor, it was breezy and amazing. We are soon planing a trip again soon!

    Visited this place on Friday night with friends, huge menu to select from, Chinese, desi, steaks, burgers all are available. Taste is good, serving size is also reasonable. Price is on a very higher side with no discounts on any cards available. Ambiance is the highlight of this place, be ready to spend 3-4k per head when you visit. Overall okay to try one time, but won't come again due to overhyped prices.

    Ambaince 9/10 Food 9/10 Service 9/10 Awesome experience but its not a pocket friendly place . Only discount is on faisal bank card and that also have a cap of 2000 Rs. Max. We were 8 adults and 8 children and the bill was 26 thousand, on our request we got a complimentry Kunafa. Almost all facilities were available except playing area for kids. They have praying area, wuzu khana, indoor seating/ outdoor seating, clean wash room, pan shop, jelly shop, toy stall, talble sitting and takht system aswell.

    AoA Friends if you have hard earned money, make sure you never go to #mangroves We went there looking at the reviews, I can swear to God, that we ordered 4 items from the menu all of them turned out to be stale and tasteless, we called the chef and gave him the instructions regarding all the items but in vain Khaadi kabaab was smelly and full of fat and they served cold. Alfredo pasta sauce was useless and no cheese was used in the pasta. Mexican steak was full of veg and uncooked, no taste of Mexican chilli to be found anywhere, and the quantity insufficient, and as thin as a tissue paper. Tempura prawns tasteless & smelly, even we didn't find out tempura source . This review is based on first hand experience so that no one else makes the mistake that we did, there are better options out there like Zeytin, Mandi house, Ala rahi, kababjees, etc. But never going to #mangroves, a total waste of money :( 10k wasted

    I had an unforgettable evening at Mangroves Restaurant in Karachi. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was inviting with its subtle lighting and soothing decor. The staff's warm hospitality added to the experience, making me feel truly welcome. As I settled into my seat, the menu offered a diverse selection of culinary delights, reflecting the rich flavors of Karachi. The highlight was the exquisite dinner – each dish was a culinary masterpiece, showcasing the chef's skill and creativity. The blend of local and international flavors in the dishes created a symphony for my taste buds. The stunning view of the city from the restaurant added an extra layer of magic to the evening. Overall, Mangroves provided not just a meal, but a memorable gastronomic journey that I'll cherish.

    Best environment overall in the list highway restaurants. We tried Mutton Adana Kabab, Special Platter, Peshwari and Vegetable Handi. Overall taste was good and service needs improvement. They don’t have any discounts on cards but overall value for money.

    Finest dine in restaurant on the motorway. Great ambiance. The only reason I'm giving it a 4 star for service is because on my day of visit, it was rainy night, and they didn't seem to be ready with the arrangements. Service was lagging the ultimate experience. The food and quality are like any other fancy restaurant on the block.

    Our unexpected visit to Mangroves at the highway turned out to be a delightful surprise. The moment we stepped inside, we were greeted by an extraordinary ambiance that set the tone for a memorable dining experience. The restaurant boasted a diverse range of seating options, and we opted for the upstairs area. Despite a considerable number of patrons, the spacious layout prevented it from feeling crowded at any point. The menu, unexplored by us until then, offered a tempting array of choices. Opting for a variety, we tried the Chicken Shinwari Karhai, which earned a commendable 8/10, and the Chicken Fried Rice with Manchurian, impressively scoring a 9/10. Accompanying these dishes was the Garlic Naan, which added to the flavors with a solid 8/10 rating. The overall taste of the food was exceptional, leaving a lasting impression. While it's true that the prices leaned towards the higher side, the delectable and well-presented dishes more than justified the cost. Mangroves proved to be a must-visit destination, offering not just a culinary journey but also a spacious and inviting atmosphere that made the dining experience thoroughly enjoyable. If you're willing to splurge a bit for a gastronomic adventure, Mangroves is undoubtedly worth the visit.

    This was my second visit to Mango Restaurant and I would like to share here the experience and events being faced at the restaurant as there is no feed back card. It is a foregone conclusion that the food served at Mangrove Restaurant is more expensive than other restaurants. Also, there is no scale to determine the quantity. Generally, the quantity served is less than other restaurants.Waiters usually try to somehow add barbecue or dry-items dishes to your order, which are more expensive anyway. Insisting on the host to add more numbers of salad and raita to the order and going to the guests during the meal without the host's consent and individually ask the order of drink and dessert is not a praiseworthy act and it is a violation of morals also. Obviously, waiters are trained for this, but one thing that staff are not trained to do is to create the ambience of the restaurant. Three times in front of me, the generator was changed to KE supply, All three times, more than 50 workers in the kitchen were shouting, Whistling and making noise by banging things. Mangrove Restaurant has a huge menu but this is my second experience that items in the starter, dessert section and drinks in the menu are usually missing or waiters are prohibited from taking the order because the item is not available. There is no objection to building a big restaurant and adopting business tactics, but taking care of the customer's rights guarantees the longevity of the business.

    Been in Khaanjee, Bombay Karahi, Kababjees and many other famous restaurant but.... What I observe with my family is..... An elegent atmosphere with great service. Staff is very friendly and try to serve you in a best way. Music with the ambiance, that too away from city buzz provides a great experience. Food is good. But added with ambiance and atmosphere i would say it is the best restaurant I have experienced so far on the highway. I would recommend you to bring family and special guest or if you want to relax in a good environment. KPIS: Good Food with humble Service Excellent Ambiance People:5 Food: Hunzai Kabab: 5/5(Best) Brain Masala: 4/5 Mandani Rice: 3.5/5 Chicken Tikka: 2/5(very dry) Karahi: 3.5/5 With Coldrinks and Garlic Naans, I would recommend Kaloonji naans. Total Damage: 14,000 I loved the restaurant, I am attaching videos.

    We went to this place called Mangroves, located on the motorway just before the exit towards gadab road. We arrived at midnight on the weekend and the place was pretty busy. We had to wait around 15-20 minutes for our turn. However, the food was really good, and their service was also on point. We ordered makhni handi, mutton adna kabab, and kabuli pulao, which were all really delicious. Their pricing is same as other popular eateries on the motorway. Overall a nice experience

  • 5/5 Rija A. 7 months ago on Google
    This layered restaurant has the most beautiful architecture, with both indoor and outdoor seating. I would definitely recommend dining on the top most floor as it has the best view and, just like a 3-tier cake, the topmost layer is also the smallest so it's way more private. The food was amazing and the food was super fresh. The presentation of the BBQ stole the show! They also have pan stalls, Jelly Belly (a jelly stall), and a cute stall with some toys and trinkets. Overall a great experience BUT I would definitely recommend them to stop serving cutlery in single use plastic wrappers because that's just unnecessary plastic waste.

    I recently visited the Mangroves restaurant and was pleasantly surprised by its options for seating arrangements. The restaurant offers options for indoor, outdoor, and even floor seating, giving customers a chance to experience a different ambience. One of the highlights of this restaurant is the delectable taste of their handi and BBQ dishes. The flavours were rich and well-balanced, handi was cooked to perfection, and the BBQ items had just the right amount of smokiness. Try out this restaurant if you're looking for something different from typical restaurants."

    A Serene Sunset Symphony: Mangroves Restaurant As the Karachi-Hyderabad Motorway surrenders to dusk, cast your headlights towards a different kind of oasis. Beyond the shimmering ribbon of asphalt lies Mangroves Restaurant, where moonlight replaces sunlight, and fairy lights weave a spell of enchantment through the verdant canopy. Step into a world where the hum of the motorway fades into the gentle rustle of leaves and the melodic chirping of crickets. The open-air space, bathed in the soft glow of string lights, is a tapestry of emerald shadows and dappled moonlight. Exposed brick walls whisper tales of the day, while plush seating invites you to sink into an evening of pure indulgence. But the real magic unfolds on your plate. The menu at Mangroves is a nocturnal symphony, each dish a vibrant ode to Pakistani flavors imbued with the mystery of twilight. Succulent kebabs glisten with the kiss of charcoal, their aroma mingling with the heady fragrance of simmering curries. Seafood, kissed by the moonlit sea, arrives on shimmering platters, tempting you with textures both delicate and bold. The vegetarian palate finds solace in a chorus of vibrant vegetables, each bite a whispered poem of the earth. And just like the day surrenders to night, Mangroves offers a space for connection, for laughter that dances under the stars, and for conversations that flow like the gentle breeze. The attentive staff, their smiles as warm as the flickering flames, ensure your comfort under the vast, moonlit sky. So, whether you're a weary traveler seeking respite from the road or a couple searching for a romantic rendezvous, Mangroves is an invitation to surrender to the symphony of the night. Let the moonlight paint your memories, and savor the taste of an evening unlike any other.

    A roadside surprise! Mangroves serves up gourmet delights and impeccable service amidst the motorway drive. The perfect pitstop for a luxurious break." "Mangroves redefines highway dining. Ditch the greasy spoons for succulent platters, elegant ambiance, and friendly staff. Your taste buds will thank you!" "Escape the motorway monotony with Mangroves. Fine dining amidst scenic greenery, it's a feast for the eyes and the palate. We'll be back for the BBQ platter!"!

    I had an absolutely delightful dining experience at this restaurant! The ambiance was superb, creating the perfect setting for a memorable evening. From the moment we walked in, the welcoming atmosphere made us feel right at home. The attentive staff ensured our needs were met, and the food was nothing short of exceptional. Each dish was a culinary masterpiece, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The attention to detail and the commitment to providing a top-notch dining experience was evident throughout our visit.

  • 1/5 Sarim A. 8 months ago on Google
    I would rate the atmosphere with 5 stars alone. I visited with my family and sampled dishes like Dhakka fish, Huzai Handi, Mutton Karahi, and the BBQ platter. Unfortunately, each dish fell short of expectations in terms of taste. Even the garlic naan was only average. Additionally, I noticed an unwelcoming attitude from the head waiter who oversaw our table. He seemed either completely exhausted or unpleased with our presence. Without wanting to draw unfair comparisons, I believe Kababjees outshines Mangroves in terms of food quality, service, and customer satisfaction. I will not recommend Mangroves, as the overall dining experience was unsatisfactory, and the prices were surprisingly high.

  • 5/5 Kiran N. 8 months ago on Google
    Awesome experience. Ambience, food and service all great. Enjoyed very much. The great thing about chicken peshawari karahi was full size boti, which normally dont happens. Chicken reshmi kebabs, behari kebab and paneer reshmi handi were extremely good too.

    Visiting the Mangroves near M9 Toll Plaza was a truly enchanting experience. Nestled amidst nature's beauty, this hidden gem provided the backdrop for an unforgettable dining adventure. The ambiance was nothing short of spectacular, with the tranquil surroundings enhancing our meal. Our culinary journey began with a trio of exquisite soups - chicken corn, creamy mushroom, and hot and sour. Each spoonful was a burst of flavor, setting the stage for the exceptional main course that followed. Our table was graced with a feast that included mutton peshawari, mutton shinwari, chicken makhni handi, chicken paneer reahmi handi, and the tantalizing khaddi kebab. Each dish showcased the skill of the chefs and left our taste buds thoroughly delighted. We concluded our meal with a sweet note by indulging in a variety of ice cream flavors. It was the perfect ending to a remarkable dining experience. If you're seeking a place where delectable cuisine meets breathtaking natural surroundings, the Mangroves near M9 Toll Plaza is an absolute must-visit. The ambiance, combined with the exceptional food, creates an atmosphere of pure magic that lingers long after you leave.

    Great ambience, maintenance seemed a bit off, but the service was excellent, everyone was welcoming and friendly. Serving sizes were good, esp of chicken steak.

  • 5/5 Ere M. 1 year ago on Google
    We tried it 2 days ago. It's on highway. It was a pretty good experience. The restaurant is huge with different settings and 3 floors. The ambiance is great. The food is pretty nice. The price of food was market competitive but their serving size is more than other restaurants. I would like to highlight that our complaint was dealt with instantly by the manager so they have good customer service! I hope they maintain their standard, quality and serving size. Would definitely visit again.

  • 5/5 Sabih A. 9 months ago on Google
    Had a stunning experience at Mangroves last night while it was raining heavily. Their staff gave an overwhelming gesture to pick us up from the parking under umbrellas as it was raining heavily and we were staying in car since 5-10 mins, waiting for the rain to stop. Food was fab apart from the beef mushroom stake which was less in quantity and mushrooms were rare. Ambience was the cherry on top. I'd like to suggest if they can add bank card discounts like every other restaurant it'll double up their clientele and returning customers. Over all it is a good place to visit 💯
