Written by: Aymen Wasim
Chilly breezes, rich scents wafting through the air, unconventional foods ranging from paratha calzones all the way to churro hotdogs, Karachi Eat 2020 promises it all and more!
Mark your calendars, Karachi’s favourite festival is just around the corner and it’s promising to be bigger and better than ever. Once again located at Beach View Park, Clifton, the massive food festival will take place on the 10th, 11th and 12th of January and will play host to more than 90 stalls. Though the price of the ticket has not yet been revealed, if last year is anything to go by, the price will be around Rs. 350, give or take a little.
From local dishes to international cuisine, Karachi Eat 2020 has a lot to offer, especially its unlimited variety of customized dishes, created exclusively for the festival, which often fuse local and international cuisines to create something fresh and exciting. So, while we impatiently wait for the event to commence, here’s a brief look at what it has to offer. Let’s dive right into it!
