Pakistan is fairly rich in its cultural value and food. I believe, and many others will agree that Pakistan has adopted a lot from different civilizations and enjoys a combination of multiple cultures, food, practices etc. Pakistan has diversified cultures based on regional sub-division including Sind, Punjab, Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. All these regions pertain their own distinctions in their native food. Eating habits and tastes vary from province to province. I love food and love exploring different cuisines and that is why I loved the idea of exploring food from all 4 provinces of Pakistan.
Pakistani Food Festival – Avari
Avari Towers Karachi is celebrating Pakistani Food Festival (which will last till 21st of August) on account of Pakistan’s Independence Day. The food festival is smartly conceptualized as it offers famous food items from Punjab, Sind, Baluchistan and KPK. For those who prefer spicy cuisine will like the Punjabi and Sindhi section, and those who prefer a tad different taste than usual will definitely be surprised from Gilgit, Baluchistan and KPK corners. The entire Pakistani Food Festival by Avari Towers Karachi is designed keeping multiple aspects in view which not only include food but drinks as well; and not to miss the cultural songs which are performed live, to make the environment lively and happening. Singers sing patriotic, national songs and some regional songs as well, while group of dancers and performers give a good show to the guests.
As far as the food is concerned, it is practically impossible to do justice with all the food items, but the ones which I personally liked included:
From KPK Section: Angara Boti, Kabuli Pulao, Achari chicken tikka and beef chapli kebab.
From Punjab Section: Lahori Fried Fish, Mutton Aaloo Gosht, Tawa Qeema, Mutton pulao
From Baluchistan Section: Balochi Lamb Pulao and Lamb Sajji
From Sind Section: Palak paneer, Kofta Curry and Hareesa
There are many dishes at Pakistani Food Festival other than the ones mentioned above. There is also a great range of desserts. So, those who have sweet-tooth will unquestionably be enjoying the variety of sweet dishes from sweets to muffins, and from kheer to rabri and double ka meetha etc.
There are multiple kinds of drinks including limo pani, lassi (namkeen and sweet), sharbat (sandal, thaadal, zeera and baadaam etc.)
If you are planning to take your family out for an evening full of tradition, acquaintance with cultural tastes, lively atmosphere with interesting and candid performances then Avari Towers Karachi’s Pakistani Food Festival is a must-go venue. There are also some stalls at Asia Live, ranging from handicrafts to henna tattoo, and painting to sculpture with fashion designers’ exhibition etc. The Pakistani Food Festival will last till 21st of August, so you better make your reservations and surprise your family with a quality outing/dining experience.
