Xanders Cafe, Karachi

Awesome food overall. A bit expensive but unique and delicious taste. We, a group of four adults, ordered Roast Beef Open-face sandwich, Old School Cheese Burder, Jalapeno Burder and Chicken Jalapeno Pizza. Well, the sandwich was ridiculously small but it was full of taste. Burgers were very juicy and unique, sort of improved and smaller version of Hardees burger. Pizza was very tasty, similar to Olivetto's Pizza. Well, since the one who ordered sandwich was still hungry so we ordered another Pesto Pizza which was equally good. Deserts were really awesome. Double Chocolate Brownie was really awesome specially for chocoholics like me, others may find it a bit bitter. Others could order Croissant and Butter Pudding which was really liked by non-chocoholics. Overall an excellent experience but value for money is not their forte.

Ordered via URBANITE for home delivery. Food was delivered on time which was Margarita pizza and chicken cheese burger. Pizza was cold on delivery and needed to be reheated. Chicken burger was hot, juicy with its chicken patty and cheese.

Without doubt one of the best and yummiest stone oven baked pizzas in the city! The red velvet cupcakes were also quite delicious. The restaurant had a very vibrant and refreshing feel to it. A bit overpriced but still definitely worth a visit.

A nice and cozy place for hangouts with friends .An ideal outlet for a chit chat .Offers a wide range of light snacks and beverages. Roasted Beef,prawn-open face sandwitch alongwith affogato - all mouth watering , very tasty and delicious. Their chicken satay is a must try. A bit costly but quality food with excellent service .Waiters are extra courteous.

I had absolutely no expectations at all, when I went to Xanders, although the name did evoke memories of "Xanadu" from the poem "Kubla Khan" and of course, Alexander the Great. Thus, history and literature lessons from high school were mixed up (and not in a pleasant way) in my head when I stepped into the cafe for dinner However, the coupling of goat's cheese with figs in their White Sauce Pizza was far more pleasant. If you want to surprise your palette, in a good way, then definitely order this pizza. The crust is thin and pliable, baked to perfection. The crunch of the tiny fig seeds and the smooth yet pungent flavor of the goat cheese, make a new set of taste-buds in your mouth wake-up! You could ask them to go a little easy on the goat's cheese, as it has a specific after-taste that's not for everyone. Loved their music! The easy, relaxed, New York-ish feel is very refreshing. Plus the owner's personal attention ensures that the every plate of food that comes of the kitchen is up to the mark. Also, what was impressive was the fact that although it is a place frequented by the young and ultra-hip of Karachi...our family (complete with parents and two young nieces) did not feel at all out of place - the cafe has a very warm and welcoming aura. One just feels good having been there.

Considering the breakfast craze that I possess, I went out to have breakfast at xanders,no doubt they have a good variety of eggs and omlettes,the one that I found best was meditterean omelets which looked pretty plain but was laden with taste inside, then their chicken satay were a good blend of peanut sauce served with garlic rice, eggs full English was served nicely too, the famous open prawn face sandwich were alright…I wish they served pizza in the morning as their pizza is probably the best pizza so fargood job Mr.sikander,the color combination inside is pretty cool, not only that but pictures turn out amazing with that décor.

Went there for breakfast which was very refreshing. Great ambiance and decor with the outdoor dining also available. Their service is good with staff very attentive. Scrumptious food!..Their Roasted Beef,prawn-open face sandwitch alongwith affogato - all were amazing. Their chicken satay is a must try. However, they don't offer pizza before 12 although their pizza is really good, so should include it in the breakfast menu. Well, overall great experience!

The ambiance is nice...The Salads are great ...The Burgers are juicy but the khaosuey and the fish and chips were extremely average...The fresh juices were decent while the xanders special chocolate cake was extremely passable. The service level could improve alot !

Was there back again on Saturday and felt the urge to share my experience again. I must say the Old School Cheese Burger at Xanders Cafe is Awesome, the thick juicy beef patty and layers of soft cheese, big caramelised onion ring and fresh lettuce in a soft white bun is simply delicious. The other pleasant surprise was the thin cripy oven basked pizza, I only had a one slice though wanted to have more :) The cafe was a lot busy then last time with people lining in every few minutes, we had to wait 10 minutes to get a table for 6 and in all were billed 5050. Almost 1000 per person for a two course meal and drink.

I went with friend's late last night for desert, we were able to get a table for 4 within minutes, xanders cafe was teaming with mature gents and ladies in their Sunday best, smoking away indoors (which did become a bit unpleasant at first). The place is cozy and has a true cafe feel from the tables to the cutlery to the small plates. We ordered two sets of ther cream burlee trio (Rs. 270 + 16% GST), the lime, strawberry and blueberry flavours were amazing, with blueberry being the winner for me. I had ordered a cappuccino which came out to be just the way I like it. All in all it was a good experience and cost around PKR 900.

I have been getting positive reviews about Xander's Cafe from my friends but I have also heard they do not entertain reservations and due to that there is a chance you may not get a table on weekends easily.
