Re: Dhaba culture
Dhaba is "inn" today. Every Desi street now has a restaurant named "dhaba" while they charge arm-and-leg for crappy food in "suit-tie-is-must" type environment.
I miss original dhabas that we used to go in my university days (Karachi University i.e). On a cup of tea, or plate of Qeema, we used to discuss politics from Islamabad to Washington and Finances from Chinese reserves to Sand oils in Canada. All for a cup of tea of Rs2. Priceless!

Yeah those tea houses were used to be for a bit accomplished people I guess (not for students, drivers, travelers etc). More for repeating guests. There were many in Saddar (Karachi). I am not sure though if they have those or not. Dhabba is a bit more informal than those tea houses
Re: Dhaba culture
Dhabaas... are they same as road side stalls which Pak government is eliminating very fast from the streets? It's really bad because then what fun living in Pakistan if we cant see & get stuff from those road side stalls selling nice, hot & fresh, tasty, variety of food? Too bad they clearing out the streets. I wish they wont because some of those stalls have really nice stuff. The best part is you get to eat it very hot and fresh. Also feel too bad for the poor vendors. They cant provide Pakistani citizens with decent education and jobs. Now they dont want to them earn a small wage through their roadside stalls?
