Karachi has too many restaurants — there, I said it. Every other week there’s some hot new place popping up that serves mediocre food and is hyped to death by influencers and other Karachiites starved for activities other than eating. But every once in a while, the city produces a gem.
I’d heard about Sukhumvit a while ago — back when it was a supper club operating out of the owner’s apartment — and always wanted to try it out. When I learned that it was now a restaurant, I knew I had to visit.
I went with the intention of trying everything — or almost everything — on their limited menu. I don’t know when this facet of my personality developed, but I no longer want a lot of choices at a restaurant. I want to go somewhere and for them to do a few dishes, and do them well, not offer me everything under the moon and serve something mediocre.
That wasn’t a problem at Sukhumvit. Their menu features two soups, one salad, one starter and then powers into the mains — one stir fry, krapao, two curries, one noodle and two seafood options.
The food comes in variations — single serving or servings for two — but if you’re in the mood to try stuff out, I’d recommend getting single servings and ordering more things.
