Though you pulled out safe unhurt. I strongly recommend WE all cross check final bills before presenting our plastics or Hard CASH to settle the payment at ALL Eateries across PAKISTAN. Ask for the Menu with the Bill and check the quantities ordered of the stuff. Invariably in Karachi few places are NOTORIOUS for Overcharging as HIGH as 30%, when reported and confronted it is attributed to "waiter" 1. BBQ Tonite -- they add up Nans,Raitas & Salad, Cold Drinks, Water bottles as common cases,. 2. China Town 3. Copper Kettle 4. Jade Garden 5.
