5 sandwiches you must try in Karachi
Here are our top sandwich picks in Karachi.
KARACHI: When we talk about culinary inventions, sandwich is undoubtedly one of the most popular; it’s quick, convenient and delicious, not to mention a staple at most restaurants.
Did you know? The word sandwich was termed after British statesman John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich. Rumor has it that on one particular occasion, while he was in the middle of a marathon card game the Earl asked for his meat dinner to be folded between two pieces of bread so he could eat it without making a mess. The ‘sandwich’ thus got its name.
Since they were first pioneered, sandwiches have evolved into multiple variants — they’re not just the most available and practical food, but they’re also versatile. You can have a sandwich for breakfast, lunch or dinner and it’ll be a complete meal.
You’ll find this delicious creation at every restaurant, whether in the form of a panini, shawarma, wrap or just a regular layered club. Here’s a look at our favourite sandwiches in Karachi:

The Roast Beef Open Face Sandwich at Xander’s, will make you go back for seconds. This herb crusted roast beef is served on lightly toasted country bread flawlessly complemented by onion garlic marmalade and bell peppers. The sandwich is light, flavourful, and satisfying and the rocket salad on the side goes perfectly with the meal.
2 Butler’s Café
One word: Panini! Yes that’s what you must try at Butler’s café. Pesto Chicken Panini and Mediterranean Panini are two sandwich variants you might make a habit of. The former is a perfect mix of green pesto and spicy chicken along with cheese and vegetables, whereas the latter is a delicious mix of sun-dried, tomatoes, feta cheese black olives and peppers. Bonus, they serve their panini with your choice of fries or salad.
3. Subway
Friendly prices, plenty of choice, and fresh ingredients — it can’t get any better than that. A sandwich how you like it; with tomato or without, with your choice of bread and meat, and all that follows.
