Non-Pakistanis, what Pakistani food do you want to try?

[lastofthepatriots]

Best thing I’ve had was nali or bone marrow karhai.

 

[Brad]

I would love to try some naan bread and some of your awesome goat curries. And the birani! I've had the Indian versions of these here in the US, but I hear pakistani versions are close but subtly different.

 

[Arsalan]

Restaurants make it with beef as it's historically been made but nowadays there are other options too.

Easily available in every corner shop in Pakistan. I don't know whether they export or not.

Edit:

Yeah, they do serve in some other countries.

Dont call them chaplli kebabs! PLEASE DONT!

Well there are certain dishes that cant be made without beef.
Nihari and chapli Kebab to name a few.

Agreed!
Chicken Haleem
Chicken Nihari
Chicken Chapli Kabab or even seekh kabab!
This is all stupid!

This is all non-sense. To be honest, Beef gives more taste to everything, like Beef Biryani is way better than chicken Biryani but there are some dishes that should NEVER be allowed to made with chicken in place of beef of mutton.

I am particularly saying that about kns. Quality wise good. But taste wise really really bad. Now it taste like you are eating nothing. They must do something to improve taste.

Well!! The less i say about this the better. I guess you have never been to there plant or storage refrigerated warehouses.

In the linked post you mentioned "Then there is a good one in Islamabad too who also puts eggs in his kebab but takes an hour to deliver."
Which one were you refering to? SUFI?
I talked with @Zibago about this if i remember correctly some months back. Someone also refereed me to hotel at Cricket Stadium food street, i went there and i was told that they dont even serve Chapli Kabab.

I lived my life in Taxila/Wah Cantt. There were some excellent kabab wala's there. Moved to this god forsaken Faisalabad and among the things i miss the most are these chapli kabab! Can you believe that there is not a single kabab wala in Pakistan's third largest city. Not even a good one in Lahore
So if you know about any in Islamabad other then Sufi do share.

If YouTube videos about your food are to be believed, one would need a long vacation to taste every unique delicacy and experience the warm heartedness exemplified by the Pakistani awaam.

For a glutton like me I'd like to try your famous chapli kababs, lips smacking naharis and numerous other delicacies.

I am 32 years old now! There still are so many things that i have to try yet, so many i know i wont be able to in my life time.

Thats surprising...panneer is brought to south india by north indians...and it has caught on quite a bit in dhabas and restaurants...I thought east punjab and west punjab have same food.

not to get political on a food thread but a lot of Indians want people to believe this.
We are very very different.

Here is a Quora reply by an Indian woman about her experience with Pakistani food

"Rupneet Kaur, worked at Canadian Armed Forces
Updated November 1, 2018
I visited Lahore in 2004 for a theatre festival that went on for 7 days.
I was living in India at the time and was a vegetarian for reasons I do not remember (perhaps I had vegetarian boyfriend at that time there were couple of other vegeterian cew members and we all were so un happy every time we were served lunch or dinner. It used to be a huge thick roti (flat bread) and a piece of fruit.

I desperately wanted some curry or some daal to eat my roti with. One day, i saw yellow daal in buffet and filled my plate. As i started eating i realised there was some sort of shredded meat in there. If i remember correctly, it was daal-halim. I could never imagine meat in daal. That’s when I realized, Pakistanis love their meat in everything, even in Karela and Bhindi.

The only other veg option I remember was potatoes. By day 3, I threw my vegeterianism out of the window and started eating chicken and lamb curries. I wasn't really eating the meat pieces but I kept my taste buds entertained. So, it was not easy to get non meat food.

If there were any, they weren’t super appetizing to me.

P.S: I love the Punjabi dialect in Lahore."


People who have the same food are not "shocked" by it.

Karahi was good, seekh kaaba was ok too! But we were looking for chapli kabab as during last two three visits i feel that Sufi is not the same anymore

 

[Zulfiqar]

Below restaurant. I ordered around 2 kgs IIRC in that food panda order.

They may not always deliver but the kebabs are better than OK.

You are right about the drop in quality BUT sufi still is the best place for chapal kababs in Islamabad

Nihari in particular is such a dish you can't even make with mutton too. It is just meant to be made with beef.

 

[Mr.Cringeworth]

Tell me just two non vegetarian dishes you can get in lahore tht we cant get here in india

Well lets see how about sajji and mandi.

 

[aryadravida]

Well lets see how about sajji and mandi.

Mandi means that arab dish made with rice? Its everywhere in india...anyway thts not native to pak...all pakistani foods are indian foods..meat maybe added..thtsal

 

[Mr.Cringeworth]

Mandi means that arab dish made with rice? Its everywhere in india...anyway thts not native to pak...all pakistani foods are indian foods..meat maybe added..thtsal

You didn't say something that was native to pak you just asked any meat dish that can be found in pak but not in india

Mandi means that arab dish made with rice? Its everywhere in india...anyway thts not native to pak...all pakistani foods are indian foods..meat maybe added..thtsal

What about sajji this is native to pak has nothing to do with India.
