Weekend grub: Can Pan-Asian eatery Miyako compete with Karachi's hot favourite Sakura?
If I had to eat only one thing for the rest of my life, it would be sushi. I snort wasabi and bleed soy sauce. So you can imagine my excitement when a new Pan-Asian place opened up with promises of fresh Sashimi and dynamic Makis!
My best friend and I put our long standing once-a-week visit to Sakura on hold and decided to check it out for our annual catch-up gab fest!
I thought it was located on Bukhari since every new place seems to be opening up there. My friend was convinced it was on 26th Street. Being the directionally challenged two that we are, we unsurprisingly got lost. I called and called the number on the Facebook page but no one answered. I'm a punctuality freak - and after having a child, on a super strict time schedule - so my anxiety was kicking in.
Finally, we found it after fifteen minutes of driving up and down Shahbaz.
It's located at 40C, Main Khy-e-Shahbaz, Phase 6 and I have to say, it's an elegant space. Nothing is more important than ambiance when it comes to a good gossip session and we were pleasantly surprised by the wooden floors, installations and strategic lighting which gave it a comfortable, inviting glow.
