@faylasuf:
Food is becoming expensive everywhere. You can’t run from it.

@technocat:
Thanks for the clarification. I remember, when I was living in Karachi, Rs. 50 used to be good enough to get you a decent lunch. But then its been a while.

shoab,

please don’t try to tell me where I live — I know where I live and you do not. If it bothers you that I live in Europe, than you have another problem.

@wasiq51
You are in Pakistan and not in Switzerland.
Yes folks are right about the price and its exorbitantly high. Once in a month, not a bad choice but who would like to east many times in such a busy and lousy location.

Thanks Technocat for useful information

I live in Switzerland where a soup at a nice restaurant will set you back, on average, 700 RS (Pakistani Rupees), so 400 RS for a nice lunch seems like heaven on earth.

The place is on Talpur Road between Bank Al-Falah and State Bank of Pakistan and cannot be recommended for daily lunch.

@ Faisal.K: Agreed the prices are not reasonable as compared to KFC/ Pizza Hut/ Cafe Students/ Khairabad/ Spicy Bite ( all located nearby) but the idea is do the math while comparing it with a commute to Zamzama/ DHA from I. I Chundgrigar road for lunch at a swanky cafe ( and that to when a person is required to eat and get back to the office on time).

@fullstop023: IMHO Eating out everyday at a cafe (elite or otherwise) everyday kills the novelty of it, hence not recommended but if one is still hell bent on spending 200-400 everyday eating out, then multiply the lunch money with the number of working days, subtract the result from your earnings, if resulting amount is unsatisfactory – apply for a new job.

Just out of curiosity…how much money would one be making to be able to spend Rs. 200-400 on lunch every day?

nearly all the dishes are 400Rs and about…hardly what i would call reasonable?
