TDF Ghar

Such a beautiful place this is. Cozy rooftop with a beautiful view of Mizar e Quaid. We had a lovely time enjoying sandwiches with chai. Chai was below average but sandwiches were good. Mini library was a good. There’s also a co working space inside the library which is great. Overall amazing experience. Highly recommended.

It’s been on my To Do List for quite some time, but we never got a chance to visit. Finally, went there for evening tea and totally loved the ambiance and food. Definitely worth going again! 10/10

TDF Ghar in Karachi is really an amazing place to visit with family, friends or buddies. It shows you around the cool old stuff about history there. Makes it easy to see and learn about the history of Karachi. If you like history, you should check it out!

While on my visit to Karachi I was recommended by a friend to visit TDF Ghar and it was such a pleasant experience. The beautiful house overlooks Mazar e Quaid from the rooftop and has a stunning view. The architecture of the house takes you back in time. They also have a cafe which serves chai and some food items in a very affordable price. Great initiative to keep history alive and have a throwback to the glorious days of Karachi.

From pictures it seemed like a huge house like a palace or Haveli. Although it is a big house but not that big. It has been maintained well. The best thing that I liked there was the old machines like gramophone, different typewriters, radios, TVs etc. Some old furniture was also there. To watch a cycle rickshaw was also a nice experience. On the first floor there is an exhibition. But in the name of the exhibition they give some info about the old Karachi and especially about the plaque that hit Karachi in about 1920.
The ticket per person was 100. There was a separate ticket for the exhibition. A restaurant is also present there on the ground floor. On the roof top you can have a very nice view of Mizar-e-Quaid. Overall it was a good experience. Especially for the kids who saw these outdated machines for the first time.

TDF Ghar is a hidden gem in Karachi. What a wonderful idea to preserve 90s living style. Floors of the house are most beautiful thing. Cafe concept is also very catching. Vintage TV, Gramophone, Tape Recorders, Radios add a real nice value to the place. Just Rs 100 entry fee. Free street Parking. Mazar e Quaid view at the roof is so attractive and a must-click place. Overall very refreshing experience.

Interesting place structured in 3 floors. On the basement there were some items and games which were related with Pakistan plus a nice Cafeteria. On the second floor there was a old small library and some nice photographic shots of Pakistan. On the third floor there was one of the most beautiful view in Karachi.

Such a wonderful place to spend a memorable time with your loved ones.
Children can have a chance to experience the historical electrical equipment and other stuff first hand!

Rustic style, great views come enjoy some time and refresh your self with old time pictures, and other daily studies items it place has some piece of history.

Was coming back from university and made sudden plan to visit TDF, entrance charges were only 100rs everything was free inside except for food(there is a roof top sitting and food area) also a small minimal restaurant on I guess second floor and yes there was some extra exhibition going on too, charges were separate for exhibition but only 100rs again, good experience as I'm history and culture lover, and I think they should add some more things too it was a bit boring but food distracted me from boryat👀

A very interesting place that takes you back in time to the Karachi of early 1900s. This is a house that has all the furnishing and fixtures from back in the days, with huge display of old pictures. The place is for Families Only and there is a Rs. 100/person entrance fee. It’s a 2 story building while the rooftop is on 3rd floor is an open rooftop with cafe seating. It’s an old house, so narrow stairways and long steps.
The ground floor has a lot of artifacts and common household items put up as display. Plus there is a huge collection of photographs hanging on the walls throughout the house from as early as the 1900’s of Karachi, the city, and it’s landmarks. The pictures really give you a great perspective on the history and development of Karachi as a metropolis. The first floor has paintings of the city and some more artifacts from the yesteryears, along with a documentary viewing room. The second floor has an open rooftop with table and chairs along with a nice view of Quaid-e-Azam’s mausoleum (Mazar e Quaid).
As for the food, this is more of a snack place. Their core items are also Chaat, Bun Kebab, Paratha etc. The service was extremely slow, close to poor. The snacks were good, but pretty bland for Karachi style.
There is free street parking adjacent to the house but onwards there is a residential area so during rush hours parking might get tougher. Also as of August 2023 there is some road work happening around the area so getting to the place is slightly tricky.

Like stepping back in time. The cafe is really nice too. Affordable, good chai & free WiFi. The rooftop is lovely as well. Aur kya chaiye hai?

Such nicely maintained and glad to have it expanded. The view and sitting area is nice. The staff is lovely.

I always love the vibe of this place. I think the taste and quantity of food items have room for improvement. Also the service is pretty slow.
Overall, a good place to chill and relax with friends while having good tea.

I just love the vibe of tdf ghr. Such a peaceful and calm place. Full of history and culture. But the food is average

Tdf Ghar a good place to visit for aesthetic shoots , the vibe is good
There is space to work and study as well
Along with that food option is there as well (but that is expensive and quality is medium)

Nice place to spent time. Cafe and library is available inside the house.

Best and historical place full of beautiful art museum have library and old craft used by Dalwood family restaurant is providing quality and hygienic food

A unique place with vintage vibes having lots of old karachi memories.
Place is good for remote work, group studies and also quick munch on their rooftop.
The only downside is the noise of traffic, but thats part of the vibe.

Serene, calm and peaceful place decorated with some antique items, books and a rooftop snackbar cum light meals. The view of Mazar e Quaid is awesome specially in night. So rare in Karachi.
