I know its still quite popular in India but no more in Pakistan (at least not in Karachi). These guys are just amazing. I think its probably one of the most efficient delivery service of any kind that is in assistance in sub-continent, and its all manual labor, nothing high tech.
anybody has personal experience of this service?

They pick up freshly cooked food from home prepared by wife/mother and will deliver to husband at office (and to your kid at his school)

It used to be like that in Karachi too. I am not sure what happened then. Maybe because of city expansion and lack of predictable public transportation and general law and order situation made it obsolete.

Oh its good to know that they still exist in Karachi.
When it comes to efficiency, my hat is also off for the Railway platform and dining car vendors and Cinema Hall intermission time Soda and Chips sellers. Its amazing how these guys take orders, deliver food and then come back to collect money, and serve dozens of people in one go, all without taking a single note - everything out of memory.
