Karachi - Eating
Eating in Karachi is a gastronomes dream with a seemingly endless selection of eateries (from the cosmopolitan finery of the upmarket restaurants to the traditional delights served by the street vendors). Amongst the most popular dishes are nihari, a stew made from beef or lamb and biryani and these are almost always accompanied by a variety of breads such as naans, paratha or chapattis. After such rich spicy food it’s always nice to refresh the palate with one of the traditional desserts…a particular favourite being a kulfi. Don’t forget to bring cash as restaurants outside of the city centre may not take cards.
