Don't know about the quality, but I am assuming since there will be restaurants in there that already have a presence elsewhere in the city so their rates will be the same. For instance I saw a board of OTPT at one of the restaurants at the pier.

Plus there is going to be a Rs 200/300 entrance fee per person, which can later be used to order food once inside.

Zag, I am posting the pictures on your blog in my post, more people can view them this way.

KARACHI (November 02, 2010) : Port Grand Food and Entertainment complex, the innovative and unique leisure facility conceived and built by Grand Leisure Corporation with an investment of over 1 billion rupees exclusively by the private sector is now in its finishing stages and is likely to be inaugurated after Eid ul Azha.

This was shared by Chief Executive of Port Grand Shahid Firoz while talking to Media at the preview event of Art Lane at Port Grand. Port Grand Culture and Art hosted a preview event for its special guests, to familiarise them with the project as well as to get their valuable inputs and feedback.

"Port Grand is an effort to revive the culture and traditions of old Karachi as well as celebrate it as the City of Lights . It would revive the harbour culture, ie seafood, boating around the mangroves, pedestrian friendly harbour front experience etc." said Shahid Firoz, the spirit behind the project. He said a good omen is that several foreign food chains and retail stores are coming to Pakistan and thus it would send a very positive signal to foreign investors about Pakistan.

A port-related Visual Art and photographs display exhibition was arranged by the title of 'PORT: HARBOUR, HAVEN, AND SANCTUARY' in which art work of Abdul Jabbar Gull, Tapu Javeri, Amean Jan and Amin Gulgee was at display for the visitors.

Port Grand project, stretches on the water along the 1300 ft. Karachi 's ancient 19th century native jetty bridge and spreads over an area of over kilometer. The bridge has been transformed into an entertainment and food enclave housing numerous eateries of climate-controlled area and space for kiosks of exotic Pakistani and foreign food and a variety of beverages.

The project is the first of its kind in the city and the country where exceptional attention has been given to every detail including beautiful hard and soft landscapes, nautical accents and 19th Century Lanterns/street furniture. Port Grand is tucked away in a beautiful and serene enclave which feels like a far away island on the Arabian Sea though only 3 to 5 minutes away from the busiest parts of Karachi .

The Port Grand project is country's only harbour front food and entertainment enclave, which would offer matchless attractions for the whole family to enjoy together. It is expected to attract thousands of people daily from across the country.

Once operational this project would provide direct employment to around 1,000 persons and indirectly to several thousands. The Port Grand will maintain international standard of food hygiene and the place and will be fully protected by high tech security solution. Port Grand also features a trading post for retail and fast food including international franchises; a floating restaurant, children play area and a Cineplex with different cafes.-PR

I think we haven't seen the entire places of this place otherwise its a complete waste of money if this is all

I am hoping for some attractive and interesting things somewhere within inside

Nothing is convince-able so far that could plea me to visit Karachi to see this place
