The fifth instalment of Karachi Eat is over. This year the food festival moved to a new location and despite some initial hiccups, saw massive crowds.
Just like previous years, it was the newcomers that stole the show. These stalls stood out because of their long qeues and unique dishes.
From a burger with a sweet bun, desert all the way from Prague to chicken served in a waffles cone, here are some of the dishes which we thought were the stars this year.
Donut Burger by 2 Guys 1 Grill was undeniably the most talked about dish at the event with almost everyone raving about the delicious burger.
Caffe Praha brought the refreshing taste of Prague to Karachi with its signature dish Trdelniks (chimney cake). The dessert which was served after waiting in line for 40 mins was definitely worth the wait and was as scrumptious as we had hoped.
Tacocat repeated the popularity of the Nom Nom Tacos from last year - taking it up a notch - proving that Karachiites sure have a flare for the classic Mexican dish. Both chicken and beef tacos were equally popular among the foodies.
Be it their Grilled Australian Long Fed Pastrami and Cheese Sandwich or Fried Chicken in a cone, the Fry Guys stole the attention of the foodies with their unique and tasty menu.
Of course, there were some dishes which we couldn’t stop talking about (because they were just that good).
For true fans of cheesecakes, this dessert was an utter delight. We couldn’t stop obsessing over the portable yet delicious cake.
The ‘Saturn’ candy floss ice cream is a dream come true for all the people with a sweet tooth.
Heyday’s Banging Brownie oozed moistness and a favourite among chocolate lovers.
The signature dish of Khao Sey 2.0 was a returning favourite from last year and still retained its taste and charm.
The typical South Asian delicacy with a little improvisation attracted a lot of visitors. We tried the pizza samosas and they were exactly what we had in mind.
Aside from regular favourites of people in Karachi, fast food and desi food, cuisines from all across the world allowed visitors to widen their platter.
Yaki offered a variety of sushi to people seeking something different.
Rice Platter Chicken of Sri Lankan Cuisine by Ana’s Fabcakes sure had us salivating over the dish.
‘Parsi Cuisine and Others’ sought to offer people a taste of authentic Parsi food. Patra Ni Macchi which comprises steam fish topped with spicy coriander, lemon and coconut chutney wrapped in a banana leaf sure had people tilting their heads.
Now that you know what we found to the best of the best at the festival, let us know about yours in comments.
