Weekend Grub: Soi's raspberry cheesecake is surprisingly the best thing on the menu
The number of Asian restaurants in Karachi has been growing so fast, we often end up missing a bunch.
When I first heard of Soi the Asian Bistro, I was more concerned with how to pronounce it than what it offers.
I mean, think about it, it's an Asian restaurant so it should be 'soeee' but it claims to be an Asian bistro so should it be 'swah' like in French?
But when I realised it was a lot of hunger that got me to think such questions (which are important!) I decided to give the restaurant a try.
Soi has been around for more than a year now so it was only fair I get to know what makes it a trendy pan-Asian restaurant that many enjoy. I dragged my colleagues to Soi and find out how it's pronou how the food is.
Where to go
Soi the Asian Bistro is located on Khayaban-e-Seher.
Its logo is easy to spot on the main road and gives a hint of what to expect inside; a chic and quaint restaurant offering Asian fusion meals.
When to go
Soi is open from 1pm - 12am
What to order
Soi claims to have a limited menu but it's extensive enough to cause confusion about what to order. We asked the manager for suggestions and the Soi staff was eager to help us out.
We also found out that Soi is pronounced soy like the sauce... I couldn't leave you guys hanging.
