Karachi is the biggest city in
Pakistan so there are a variety of food streets. Even the same kind of dish is
prepared throughout the city with different ingredients, flavors, and
techniques. Burns road is the most popular food street in Karachi, we can also
say that it’s the most crowded street for foodie people. If we look at the menu
for breakfast, there are so many options to pick from like Halwa puri, Chai
Parata, Cholay Pasta Chickpea Egg, Anday cholay, Omlette paratha, and aaloo
cheese paratha. Every dish has its own flavor and taste. Dhamthal and Nasir are
the top names for best Halwa puri whereas you can find Pathan k Hotel on every
street for chai and omelet Paratha.
If we talk about snacks item, there are So many bakers present who make the best
Snacks and make your tummy full. Khalid Sweets, United King, Blue Ribbon, and
Hobnob are some of the best names for hi-tea. They have mini pizzas, Aaloo and
Qeema samosa, Swiss Roll, Cheese balls, Pastries, chicken puff patties, patties,
Dahi Barray, Cholay, and Peri bites, small bun kababs, cones, sandwiches, Gol
Gappa, kachori, pizza fries, and so many things. Every single snack has a
different taste and makes your mouth watery just to see them.
If we talk about dinner or the main course for our tummy, So there are so many
restaurants and street food there which have the best dishes. In burns road, we
can find Nehari, biryani, Pulao, Paaye, Bar b q items, Nalli Nehari, Fry Fish,
Haleem, Camel l leg roast, Samosa, Burgers, Boti roll, Chargha, Kunna, Handi of
all kinds, Chinese dishes kata kat, and other so many. While in dessert there
are fruit chart, Gola Ganda, jalebi, kheer, Rabrri, Qulfi Matka, falooda, Doodh
Dulari, sweets, and so many others
But after thinking about it for a while, I think the most popular street food
that you will find in almost any locality in Karachi is “Anday Wala Burger” or
“Egg Burger”. It costs around Rs.50-80 by street vendors. Other restaurants are
offering it for a bit more but I’d say that after tea, this is the most consumed
item by Karachites each day. However, there is some common food that people from
all community like the most which include:
• Biryani
• Nehari
• Kabab
• Halwa Puri
• Karrhai
Biryani is the most famous dish in Karachi. People would love to eat Biryani
wherever they go. And that wrap-up this Pakistani street food tour of Karachi.
Again Karachi is a food paradise and I was blown away by the taste of so many
dishes we tried ever.
