    One of the best venue for Sunday Breakfast with family and friends. It was our first visit. We were introduced with Cafeela by YouTube video of Javeria Saud's birthday party in which the dinner was arranged by Cafeela. I must recommend it to my all readers of this message to visit this place for all meals 😋

    Great ambience huge choice on the menu, restaurant set over 4 floors. Food taste is ok....prices are on higher side. The Dynamite prawns are somewhat a let down and the Kunafa is extremely disappointing....

    Cafeela was a pleasent surprise. We went for breakfast. The overall ambiance is very good. Staff is cordial. Main dining hall is well decorated. Used the bathroom also. It was very clean. Peeped into the kitchen also. It appeared to be clean and hygenic. We ordered Halwa Puri, lassi, tandoori parathas, omelettes, boiled and fried eggs, chickpeas and mix milk tea. We were 12 people. Initially, the service appeared to be slow, but they caught up pretty well. While it's little pricey, I guess one should pay for good quality. Can't comment about lunch or dinner but our experience of breakfast was very good.

    Went there to eat Shahi Tukray, ordered Nachos and Pina Colada as well. Love the Pina Colada, Shahi Tukray was good( I prefer less sugar though), Nachos was fine (no chicken and namak paray/papri sort of crisp instead of nachos chips). Nice ambiance and professional staff. Late Night Munchies :)

    Cafeela is a nice place with delicious food and excellent ambience. Serving size is good too each item can be eaten by two people easily unless you are very hangry. It is having various options of food and as you can see we tried Chinese, fast food and Pakistani food just to get an ideas of the place. Everything was delicious 🤤. Highly recommend this place.

    went for dinner at the Cafeela restaurant in the shahbaz commercial area, valet parking was available . The seating in the hall was close, it would have felt more comfortable if it had some space. Ordered Peshawari Chicken Kadhahi and Mutton Ribs. The kadhai was good . Roghini naan was also good but we did not like the mutton ribs. It seemed that they were brought fried, so they were not tasty. There were 30 and 20 percent discounts on various cards, after this discount restaurant did not seem too expensive.

    If you're seeking a pleasant ambiance, generous servings at reasonable prices, Cafeela is the right place for you. I tried their hot and sour soup, grilled chicken with spicy cheese sauce, and Kung Pao chicken. While the dishes were well-portioned, I felt they lacked a bit in flavor and could benefit from some enhancement. On a positive note, the Pina Colada and Berry Lovers were delightful and lived up to expectations. Service was also good. Overall, a decent dining experience, with room for flavor improvement in certain dishes.

    Awesome... 👍 Their سرسوں ka ساگ was سو yummy along with the makaii kee roti. Their دال was also out of this world. The beef Gola Kebab was not good, they were slightly hard. The top item was Shahi ٹکرے, I haven't had such awsome like these ever in my life. Well done Cafeela & keep it up.

    Cafeela has been there for a while now but I had never come across. It had more to do with its obscure location, situated in an alley at the back of Shahbaz commercial. The ambiance is great. Service top notch. As far as food goes, I just tried two items: Mezze platter and mutton hunzai kabab. I would rate both 7/10 considering the authenticity of the taste and the serving size. But I'll definitely be going back there to have a go at the exhaustive menu items. Will be back with more soon.....

  • 3/5 Iqra M. 7 months ago on Google • 10 reviews
    Food presentation was good. We ordered chicken chil dry with vegetable rice, Chicken chowmein and Supreme pizza. Unfortunately pizza was soggy from the base. Felt disgusting. 0/10 for pizza. Chicken chowmein was average decent. Vegetables in chowmein were crunchy and good but noodles were slightly bland. So basically it needed seasoning. 7/10 Last but not the least Chinese. Vegetable fried rice was my favorite 10/10 but again chicken chilli dry was not like chicken chilli dry we had at bamboo or ginsoy. It should have been more spicy and dark. 6/10. I think I have to try other things from their menu as well. Might give them a chance again. Service was good. 9/10. Ambience was good. 9/10. Total damage 4500/.

    We've ordered two medium pizzas "Chicken Ranch Pizza" and "Chicken Mughlai Pizza". Chicken Ranch Pizza: It was an aromatic and delicious pizza. Not spicy at all. If you want spicy one, you shall add it in instructions box. Chicken Muglai Pizza: I personally like this pizza a bit more than ranch one. It was more juicy and soft with a good balance between spicy and mild spicy. Packaging was spot on with all adds on available. Pizzas were delivered well on time and they were freshly baked.

  • 4/5 Muhammad Rameez K. 3 years ago on Google
    Highly recommended place. Peaceful environment and tasty food. The food was absolutely amazing. I ordered a Malai Boti and they designed the lemon with it like an animal. Food was also amazing but it can be heavy on your pocket. This place is quite expensive and one person meal may cost you around 700rs. That's why I am giving 4 stars

  • 5/5 Mahi K. 3 years ago on Google
    Cafeela I’m using Cafeela’s best friend it’s been like six years maybe nine years though the food is really like him food and don’t know me very well because I always order online and I visited Cafeela twice it’s in Shahbaz commercial and the first line but they’re online things are very popular in food tasting food eventual means they have very good cook and all that is it I think it’s better you order

    This is the best place to have a delicious food exactly like Chef at home, strongly recomended if you are looking for hygienic food

  • 5/5 Burhan S. 6 years ago on Google
    Amazing food and the variety was top notch. A cosy establishment tucked away from the huslte and bustle of the main street, cafeela had a wide variety of food stuff which was all made with careful attention to detail and presentation. We tried the rocket walnut salad, grilled fish and hummus all of which had a good taste and the ingredients were all fresh. The hunzai kebab was also well made as the meat was soft and chewy and did not have the heavy after taste that normally comes in Desi cuisine. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a light snack or a full five course meal. The Thai soup was also divine!

    Amazing food. They give good quantity. Quality clean food at reasonable pricing. Their moong dal chawal is delicious unfortunately they don't offer that everyday. Try this restaurant if you want quality home cooked type food. Kudos to the chef. Who ever makes the food is doing so with a lot of love and care.

  • 5/5 Taha H. 2 years ago on Google
    Cafeela is my Can't-Go-Wrong Restaurant. They have great food and a very accommodating staff. In these pandemic days they are serving food on chairs and tables outside the restaurant and home deliveries. They also serve in your vehicles. Whenever we want great tasting food and we don't want to do any kind of testing then we go to Cafeela. Their Hunzai Kebabs are the best!!! Pls do they their Dumba (lamb) namkeen boti as well.

    This evening we opted for Thai food for early dinner. Order Tom Yum Khun soup which was served with crackers but lacked the spiciness of this soup. The Thai red coconut chicken curry served with steamed rice was far behind it's original recipe . What happened to their chef?

  • 3/5 Romano Y. 2 years ago on Google
    Great Bhindi, and fried qeema. They need to keep the chapaties coming, (waiters stopped replenishment at our table and had to be reminded), so it's three stars, no more.

  • 5/5 Hina Imtiaz L. 2 years ago on Google

    One of my favorite restaurants in Karachi for Desi food. Naveed at the restaurant (khayaban e Shahbaz), always makes sure that the food is delicious and fresh whether I'm dinning there or having something delivered at home. Excellent services by Naveed. :)

  • 2/5 Mohsin Ali C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great ambiance(feels like finedine), Servers/staff are very polite and corteous, but they seemed panicked. Ordered Hotnsour Soup (6/10) Beef Bihari (8/10) Mutton Achari (6/10) lacked flavor, but meat quality was great. Turkish kunafa (5/10), served with cream, which was served with unfresh cream. Slightly overpriced for quality. Overall less than avergae experience.

    Cafeela is an amazing restaurant offering a pleasant, relaxing atmosphere. The decor is beautiful and the lighting is perfect for a romantic dinner. The staff are friendly and attentive, always ready to answer any questions and provide help. The food is delicious, and the menu has something for everyone. The prices are reasonable, and you definitely get your money's worth. All in all, Cafeela is a great restaurant to visit, and I highly recommend it.

  • 1/5 Amaan V. 6 months ago on Google
    Food is okay, but the staff were very rude all the time, especially when we told them to turn the music off, as it gave me and people with me a headache. Food is okay, but not like before. The quality has definitely gone down.
