Café Aylanto began as an upscale deli serving gourmet
sandwiches and delicacies using ingredients previously not
offered in Pakistan, such as oysters, Italian gelato and
authentic Italian coffees. The loyal clientele began to
express a desire for more traditional Mediterranean dishes
in addition to the current menu, and therefore pastas,
steaks and various other entrées were introduced. Regular
guests know their favorites and often request items from the
original menu, such as the all-time favorite Chicken Avocado
Sandwich and the Aylanto Grilled Burger. The kitchen staff
is always honored to fulfill these requests and even whip up
something special upon request. CUISINE Enjoy
exceptional dishes which are unique to Aylanto, such as the Flame Grilled Tenderloin;
a succulent steak topped with rocket leaves, drizzled in
garlic infused olive oil and served with sautéed mushrooms and vegetable
timbale, or The Fiery Chili Sole; a grilled fillet of sole marinated with roasted garlic, red chili and
vinaigrette. The Pan Seared Norwegian Pink Salmon; olive and garlic crusted
and served with cauliflower mousse and asparagus, pomelo vinegar and ginger kabayaki sauce.
The Roquefort Cheese with Grilled Garlic and Rosemary; juicy
and garlic baked with olive oil and Roquefort cheese, seasoned with rosemary sprigs and served with crusty
French bread.

Café Aylanto sources the highest quality produce, both local and
