Navigating the dilemma of whether to indulge in delicious cuisine or to enjoy a peaceful dining experience can be tricky. Thanks to stern aunties and disapproving glances from other couples when babies make noise in restaurants, the decision can be even harder.
Several restaurants in Karachi offer delicious food, fun play areas where kids can enjoy, and high-chairs for babies, making them an ideal spot for parents. Without high-chairs, I would consider these restaurants to be black-listed.
1. Dua restaurant Highway
I've finally found the best Lamb Chops in Karachi! Dua Restaurant, located in Lyari and Clifton, has recently opened their Super Highway branch. After a lengthy search, I can safely say that their delicious Chops are worth the wait.
At Peshawri Karahi, they are renowned for their delicious karahi and tender, flavourful namkeen chops. Their succulent Arabic boti is also a must-try. Although the menu is limited, their meat is expertly prepared with an ideal balance of spices and temperature.
The "Takht" seating arrangement and family space offer a unique highway dining experience, despite the lack of attractive ambiance. With a 20-25 minute wait for food, Doodh patti is a great, refreshing way to satisfy hunger while you wait. There is a kids play area with slides and swings, and to top it off, even playful goats and lambs to delight the little ones.
At approximately 700/person, the average meal cost is going up and the restaurant begins taking orders just after sunset.
Small groups that are fans of desi BBQ will have a great experience here and it is highly recommended.
2. Kolachi Do Darya
Kolachi's menu is truly mouthwatering - Paneer Reshmi Handi (chicken desi style with a white cheesy sauce), cheese and garlic naan, afghani boti, and suleimani karahi are some of my favorites. No description is necessary for this amazing range of dishes!
The perfect atmosphere, created near the creek, enhances the dining experience. The most impressive feature (especially for those with children) is their fast meal service; you'll have your starters and main course before you know it.
Children can have fun on the swings and inflatable castle, while adults can indulge in the delicious nachos or one of the delightful drinks from the menu. Furthermore, there is a seating area close to the play area, so parents can rest easy. With prices going up to Rs. 1000, customers will get excellent value for their money with appetizing food and a wonderful atmosphere.
3. California Pizza Bahadurabad
I continually go back to this outlet because of (a) the delicious thin-crust pizzas and (b) the great play area. Each time we visit, the staff are so welcoming and friendly, no matter the amount of mess our kids make. My children adore their fries, malt cake, and pizzas. My husband still doesn't understand why, though!
I absolutely adore the beef lasagna and hot creamy pizza from their menu. I can't get enough of them!
The cost per person for an average meal is approximately Rs. 700.
4. Hardee’s
For years, Hardee's has been a popular destination for burger-lovers in North Nazimabad, with crowds flocking in. Nevertheless, in recent times numerous local fast-food outlets have emerged, offering new tastes and ideas. Nonetheless, it is their classic style and taste that brings me and my family back to Hardee's time and time again.
Playing at the Play Place is a great way to make dining out with toddlers a breeze. Their play area is perfect for little ones, making it an enjoyable and convenient experience.
My children find the texture of curly fries captivating, so I have to include them in my list - amusing!
The cost per person for a typical meal is approximately Rs. 700-800.
5. Rangoli Arena
Experience one of the top value-for-money buffets in Karachi. Perfect for parties, gatherings and more, it offers great quality food. Enjoy the best parts!
No need to delay, the food is ready. Quickly take a seat and begin feasting. The sooner you leave the table, the better for cranky kids. Enjoy the live tunes and the lively atmosphere; it's great for noisy children since the hustle and bustle will mask the sound.
At Arena recreational space, you can get free game passes that offer a variety of activities for both kids and adults. My favorite is the soft-play, an enclosure designed specifically for toddlers with minimal points of contact that could lead to injury.
The cost per person for the buffet is Rs. 1580.
