Pakistanis love to visit this restaurant because it starkly reminds them of neighbourhood eateries back home. Same plastic chairs, white sheets on wobbly tables, melamine plates, waiters and supervisors loudly arguing with each other, sometimes pissed off staff not even bothering to attend you, dining hall under a roof always a statement of mediocrity at best, but almost always good food, just like back home.
My friends warned me against and thus I never ventured the buffet. A La Carte however is just perfect. Shezan does not have an elaborate menu, they are offering you what they do best. Any kind of barbecue is good, chapal kabab very delicious, Karahis, Biryanis the way they should be. Hot Nans perhaps the best bread in town. They do need to improve Haleem though, you can't do Haleem without overnight cooking, it taste of raw spices.
The decor, service, table cutlery, and building itself all appears to be stuck in 80's in Karachi. Two pitted olives on plate of green salad tells you no we are somewhere else. 3 stars for food and that's about it.
