  1. Alpha

    Up some narrow stairs, the low ceiling, low lights and wood-panelled walls give this place a hushed ambience that makes it popular with couples. Food is Pakistani and Chinese, with a good selection of vegetarian dishes served in big, inexpensive portions.

  3. Copper Kettle

  4. Thai Seafood

    Stepping into the icy air of this modern restaurant is delicious, and the food almost matches. The menu has a wide range of Thai and Chinese dishes, with an excellent value three-course set menu for Rs299 . Service is a bit fussy without actually being brilliant, and waiters sometimes insist on bringing all three courses at once. Steamed squid with lemon grass and the fish cakes with chilli are winners.
