About

About Kolachi Restaurant Do Darya

Kolachi Restaurant at Do Darya has defined waterfront dining in Karachi for decades. Perched on Beach Avenue in DHA Phase 8, it occupies one of the most coveted spots in the city — right on the Arabian Sea coastline, where the sea breeze mingles with the smoke from its live BBQ grills. The restaurant is named after Kolachi, the historical fishing village that gave Karachi its name, making it as much a tribute to the city's roots as it is a destination for contemporary dining.

The menu at Kolachi is a celebration of Karachi's eclectic culinary identity. Alongside the signature slow-cooked karahis and charcoal-grilled BBQ, the kitchen turns out continental steaks, Chinese wok dishes, Italian pasta, and indulgent desserts. The Mutton Karahi is the undisputed flagship — braised in a cast-iron wok over high heat until the oil separates and the tomatoes reduce to a glossy, fragrant sauce. The live BBQ station adds drama to evening meals, with tikkas and seekh kababs sizzling over open coals in full view of diners.

Under the ownership of Owais Rahim and Haider Jafri, Kolachi has grown into a landmark rather than simply a restaurant. It draws everything from family celebrations to corporate dinners to late-night gatherings, and remains the benchmark by which all other Do Darya restaurants are judged. The restaurant is open daily from 5 PM to 1 AM, and a 15% sales tax is added to all bills. Reservations are recommended on weekends; the restaurant can be reached at 021-111-111-001 or 0335 2323472.
