After a few days in Karachi, my time in Pakistan’s largest city was coming to an end. Come with me as I go all-out with my last Pakistani food tour in Karachi before continuing my trip around Pakistan!

My afternoon began at Karachi Haleem with my friend and guide Furqan from Manaky. He’d be taking me on an incredible, seven-hour street food tour to try tons of local favorites, including Haleem, dahi baray, gappa ghotala, stuffed naan, chaat, and more!

Karachi Haleem is located on Burns Road, which becomes a bustling food street at night. They also offer aromatic chicken biryani, but we were here for the Haleem! We got both the chicken and beef varieties and ate at an outdoor seating area across the street.

Our Haleem came with zarda, which is a bright orange rice dish that contains sugar and milk. You add garlic, fried onions, mint, lemon, masala, and chilies to the Haleem.

I tried the chicken Haleem with a spoon first. It had a nice kick and was very thick. The combination of the mint and chilies was super tasty! I also loved the crispy fried onions.

The best way to eat the Haleem is with some crispy naan. It was absolutely delicious and pasty. The combination of textures and flavors was unreal. I could see pieces of the shredded chicken in it. The beef Haleem was even richer!

Then, I tried the Zarda, which was basically sweet rice with a bit of an herbal flavor. It served as a nice palate cleanser! Our entire meal came to just 440 rupees, or roughly $3 USD.

Further down the road, we stopped at Fresco for dahi baray, which is a sweet, creamy chaat in yogurt. They sell lots of sweets, as well as samosas outside. It was sweet, and I loved the lentil balls in it. The fried, crispy dough on top was excellent, too!

Outside is a vendor selling Arabic parathas, which is stuffed with chicken, tomatoes, herbs, an egg, and spices, and deep-fried. The guy gave me one for free! It tasted like a Chinese egg roll. The egg held it all together.


Next, we drove 20 minutes to the Clifton Neighborhood to have some gappa ghotala at Mirchili.

It contains cilantro, sev, three chutneys, yogurt, lentils, and chickpeas. It reminded me of dahi puri and was sweet, salty, and bitter with a nice crunch! The yogurt tied it all together. I loved it!

Then, we also got some dahi puri! The yogurt with the tamarind with the crunch was fantastic! Then, we ended with some masala lemonade with mint!

Next, we got some fire paan at Panwaari. It was cold, crunchy and smoky. I loved the ice and coconut inside!

Our next stop was Cloud Naan for creamy tikka naan and a hazelnut chocolate Oreo naan!

The chicken tikka naan comes with garlic mayo. It was crispy on the outside, doughy on the inside, and creamy. I loved how savory it was, and it had a bit of heat, too!

The Hazelnut Chocolate Oreo Naan was like an Italian dessert pizza. It was unreal and took me back to my time in Rome. I loved every bite!

Next, even though we were full, we headed to get dinner at Kolachi with our friend Shehroze from Manaky. The restaurant is right on the beach and is spread out over several levels.

The place is packed! There’s a huge waiting area and the kitchen is full of activity!

We got a new dish with chicken, beef, mutton, and cheese. It was so rich and hearty, and the tamarind sauce added a nice sweetness.

We ordered chicken makhni handi, mutton chops, Afghani boti, with parathas. They also came with Roghni naan, potatoes, vegetables, chilies, and more.

It’s my favorite food I had in Karachi! Finally, we finished up with some pure apple juice, which was so refreshing!
