Karachi Joint Selling Indian Food Goes Viral

Since 1947, India and Pakistan have been in a conflicted relationship, much like a couple who neither can’t be together nor can they separate from each other. A rich history, culture, heritage, food, music, and language have always been invisible strings that still bind the two countries together. A video of a Pakistani blogger has gone viral in which a Hindu family’s stall can be seen receiving love from natives.

The food stall, Kavita Didi Ka Indian Khana, is a makeshift joint run by a woman named Kavita and her family. They run this eatery near the Cantonment Railway Station in Karachi. The takeaway from the video was that food not only binds two communities but countries together.

The video showcases Kavita cooking delicious Indian delicacies like vada pav, pav bhaji, and dal samosa. She was quoted saying in the video, “These dishes are famous in India, and now, they are gaining popularity in Karachi.” 

The food blogger shared that a customer can find two menus here - one for vegetarians, and the second for non-vegetarians. However, no matter what your preferences are, he suggested people try pav bhaji and vada pav. He also added that it is among a few stalls where Hindus and Muslims come together to relish popular Indian dishes. 

Customers can also find tandoori dishes, chicken-based delicacies, and French fries. Kavita Didi Ka Indian Khana is a one-stop destination in the vicinity where people can find delicious food across states of India. The prices of the dishes are quite budget-friendly.
