Re: List of Good Restaurants in Karachi, Lahore and other Pak Cities
Some 20 years ago, there was no concept of eating out in Karachi. I hardly remember my abbo and amma ever eating outside. At the most, we used to bring nihari and kebabs from outside - nihari from Bhorray Khan - the best ever nihari in Karachi (sadly they gone out of business) and kebabs from Lalukhet Dakhana or Bunrs Road.
But we always had great foods at our home and on festival occasions - Moharrram, Rabiulawal, Girwian, Shab-e-Barat, Eid and Baqar Eid etc.
I was in Lahore in 1991 but I could hardly find a good plate of biryani over there. I also lived in Islamabad during 1990-1991 and I used to get in the name of biryani a bowl of salan and a plate of plain rice at Pindi Saddar. I could not find better haleem and nihari over there till an outlet was opened by a Karachi resturant in G-9 Markaz.
However the karahi ghost and kebabs over there were really yummy and also balti gosht. We often used to eat fried kebabs at Bunny near Asghar Mall and chotay kebabs at Iqbal Mohallah in Saddar.
