Took my friends to a Turkish restaurant, LALE-I-RUMI for dinner located at Clifton area. We went there with great expectations. 12 people ordered 10 dishes. It was our first time there & definitely the last! Starter portion sizes were ridiculously small for the price. One skewer of Kabab for 1200 rupees. We expected a few to share. You should get what you pay for. What a joke! More like a weather-spoon meal. Totally ruined our night! Waste of time. Nothing was special in terms of taste. That place was so outrageously priced. Never going again! High prices do NOT equate to high quality. Small place with poor seating. Big disappointment! I honestly could not find anything in their selection that was flavourful or tasty. It is sad that the only tasty item was ketchup. LALE-I-RUMI, if you don't improve your food, you will be just a legend with an empty building. If I were to objectively evaluate the monetary value of the things we ate, we probably have eaten about PKR 200 each. Extremely expensive meals, and terrible substandard food. 1200 for a SKEWER we felt like we have been robbed but most of the reviewers on Swot group went there for dinner where they have to spend on average 2000 per person for such terrible meals. I could guess exactly how they felt like after they had one bite of their meal the feeling must not be just a robbery like we felt, they must have felt that they experienced an aggravated burglary. Will never go back to this restaurant again in my lifetime. Most overrated restaurant in Clifton, with the meals most expensive, and terribly overpriced for its substandard quality.
Advice to others:
Never go here and if you don't believe me, read reviews. Most of them are extremely negative, there are few positive reviews. Those people are likely to be the restaurant's owners themselves, their relatives, or perhaps their lenders, hoping desperately that this restaurant can repay the money they owe.

Advice to the owner:
Stop relying on your restaurant's past reputation which is now long gone. Start visiting other restaurants in this city and you will realize that other places provide food with much higher quality at the price only a fraction of what you charge.
