👍👍 The experience of DA Club was exquisite, well-managed outfit with lots of indoor sports facilities and niche ambiance. Food quality is superb with various BBQ and continental options on the menu.

    Although I was a guest there with a Member, for dinner, I must say the place was emaculately clean, well maintained, the grass was of amazing quality and the barbecue out of this world. Bravo!!

    DHA Club. PKR8000 for 2 single beds. very tight rooms with not much space to move around. I believe PKR19000 for bigger family rooms. membership required. no chapal allowed. nice and clean as usual. lot of events. busy place at the evening and nights. swimpool, movie nights, tambola, tennis courts. bigger room for family and smaller room for 2 persons. bigger room has 2 rooms and sitting area. extra mattress can be requested (not free - PKR300). breakfast is free with your staying till 10am but service on breakfast is very slow. it took than 45 minutes to receive fried eggs and it was not busy time. two time u had to send uncooked eggs back. first time fried eggs went back because everything was running including white and 2nd time boiled eggs went back, when i open it, all water including white came out. both time 30 minutes gap in between food delivery.

    Great club with many facilities. Moderately private and family friendly. Food is also usually really good. Buffets however are usually not good as they have limited dishes

    Title: Mixed Experience at Defence Authority Club, Karachi I recently visited Defence Authority Club in Karachi to conduct an event, and I have mixed feelings about my experience. While the overall club facilities were impressive and well-maintained, I encountered some issues that left me disappointed. Firstly, I arrived at the club at 11 in the morning, and the cleanliness of the premises immediately caught my attention. The club was well-kept and tidy, creating a pleasant atmosphere for visitors. The club itself boasted a wide range of amenities and facilities, catering to the needs and interests of its members. From sports facilities to dining options, it seemed like a place where members could relax and enjoy their leisure time. However, my interaction with the staff at the booking office proved to be disappointing. The staff members there appeared to be untrained and poorly dressed, which gave an unprofessional impression. Moreover, their lack of knowledge about how to effectively deal with people was evident. This aspect of the club's service left much to be desired. Furthermore, as I was visiting the club with the intention of conducting an event, I found it to be subpar in that regard. The staff's unprofessionalism and lack of training reflected in their inability to efficiently handle event-related matters. This made organizing and executing the event a challenging task. Therefore, I would not recommend Defence Authority Club as a suitable venue for events. In conclusion, while Defence Authority Club in Karachi offers a clean and well-equipped environment for its members, the untrained and poorly dressed staff in the booking office, as well as the club's unsuitability for hosting events, left me with a mixed impression. I hope that the management addresses these areas of improvement to provide a better experience for visitors in the future.

    Food quality has now really dropped. Two years ago I pointed out that food quality was going down. Dull minds are managing the development of this club.

    One of the oldest clubs of DHA. They've still maintained a good food quality there which is not too pricey. Good value for money

    You better take care of stuff if by chance living there. They're operating same way as 90's era. Room service stolen my stuff and upon complaining the whole staff act as normal 🙄 like they'll get back if they found something.

    Love the activities n everything, its just that the foods getting worse day by day. Sometimes less quantity, sometimes cold food and Sometimes they don't even add all the ingredients. Stopped having snacks there though the other services n activities r very nice.

    Great place to stay, and lovely desi food. However, quite difficult to find a vacancy - its usually fully booked

  • 3/5 Habib ur R. 9 months ago on Google
    The food was okay ..we ordered Beef steaks but beef items were not available so we had to opt for chicken steaks. They served us chicken pepper steak . İt was 3 out of 5 ..they can improve the taste and quality of veggies. After we ordered cream caramel pudding . İt was the thing of the evening . Very delicious . The caramel had that subtle bitter taste and pudding was hundred percent inhouse. . So overall we enjoyed.

    As always, good club quality food was served by the restaurant. Soups were particularly good but rest of the food was average. They need to improve upon the quality. Their Chicken Alakiev made us wait almost 45m & the guest praised it. The rates have been increased recently but I felt it was above the other good clubs’ level. It is a great place for families seeking outdoor seating and decent food.

    Brings in Great and sweet Old Memories when we use to go for concerts, movies etc. But the Charm is gone. Place has deteriorated. Pool is gone. Hall was worn down and the ACs were not working. This place is stuck in the past.

    I have been experiencing its food and ambiance since last 25 years as the guest of a member. Today, It was again a wonderful experience of greenery with melodious songs of musicians and Yummilicious fish enhanced the gathering of friends...

  • 4/5 Atif B. 10 months ago on Google
    A good place to be a member of. The members can participate in different sports like swimming, tennis, table tennis, squash, etc. It has a separate gym for gents and ladies. A library where you can spend a good time reading good books on different subjects. The swimming facility is also for gents and ladies around the year. The food is okay but prices are now not as reasonable as they used to be may be because of the imposition of a sale tax. Good place to spend quality time with your family.

  • 4/5 Chilie M. 1 year ago on Google
    good place for small gatherings

  • 3/5 Ayaz W. 1 year ago on Google
    Rating 3.5 stars as its an old club with not much to go for except lunches and dinners. Lunch was nothing extraordinary chicken corn soup flat with hardly and spice or salt with bread line croissant flat and soft, while chicken Karahi was quite bland. Nan served hot and crisp.

    DA Club is was a fabulous place, but due to Covid restrictions marred our party. Sorry for the earlier typos, let me elaborate. The occassion was nephew's mehndi and we were asked/coerced to finish it up in the given time period, that thing kind of sucked.

    The Guestrooms are good, ambiance is serene but the cleanliness brings down the overall experience. The bathrooms need renovation. Food is okay

  • 3/5 Sidrah A. 1 year ago on Google
    I visited last Sunday and had lunch there, it's a nice place to eat. Staff is really humble, food is clean and tasty. Facilities are also reasonable, nice clean washrooms, sitting area, garden area, BBQ area etc. The food items served are limited but it's a nice place to sit and chat for a long time.

    DAC is a nicely managed neat and clean club with green foliage. At DAC guests are not allowed to park their vehicles inside the club, only members are allowed. U can park their vehicles outside the club. Attended a function their, food is average. The serving staff is very lethargic. DAC might bea good place for members but not for guests... Thanks

    Nice and tidy. But the shef needs to undergo culinary training. The chicken karrahi was pathetic. Prawns were also not tasty.

  • 3/5 Hafeezullah I. 1 year ago on Google
    Went for dinner as guests of a member. The place appears small from outside but is quite commodious. There are several defence clubs which cater to residents. The food quality was quite good but it seems to be run like an army mess.
