Known as the city by the sea, it is an obvious fact that Karachi nests numerous, mouth-watering seafood restaurants. Its produce is fair and abundant to tantalise the seafood hungry taste buds of many foodies in the city.
Without doubt, it is better than the selection in any other part of the country and Karachiites make sure to get a bite of each one of them.
Biryani of the Seas
Tucked in right behind Glass Towers, Clifton, we find the trident of sea food in Karachi. Biryani of the Seas gained immense popularity soon after its opening in December 2010. Despite its casual environment, most people like to devour the scrumptious dishes the menu has to offer in the open air seating area. Even though the name of the place highlights “Biryani”, the place has to offer more than just that. Its menus specialty is, of course, seafood, along with other cuisines such as Chinese, Pakistani, Indian, Italian, Thai and fast food.
Oishi Sushi
Inspired by the owner’s love for Japanese culture, Oishi Sushi opens doors to the true essence of Japanese cuisine. The atmosphere exuberates to Japanese art and attention to detail. A sushi bar is available, where guests can enjoy watching the chef prepare their fresh specialty: sushi. Only the best quality ingredients are used at the restaurant such as the imported fish, Norwegian Salmon, Tuna from the Philippines, along with Mackerel and Eel from Japan. A must try for true lovers of the perfect sushi.
Ghaffar Kabab House
The classic eatery on Tariq Road is bustling with local and loyal clientele. Best known for their nihari and kabab fry, Ghaffar Kabab House does some amazing BBQ fish. The fresh aroma of hot food envisages the street, literally hypnotising customers to stand in a long queue for what the restaurant has to offer. It’s a sight to see, with yummy meats sizzling on the skewers and a must have local fish experience in the heart of Karachi.
Fujiyama
Perched on top of Karachi’s tallest building — Avari Towers — guests first notice the head turning 360 degree panoramic view of the entire city. When visiting, one must place themselves on the dining area near either of the two tepanyaki grills. It is here where live cooking of your authentic Japanese meal takes place, including superb sushi, delicious sashimi, sizzling seafood and tempting tempura treats. Service is perfectly Fujiyama style oozing grace and attention to detail to give you the ultimate foodie experience.
