I’m a South Indian, and I’ve wanted to visit Pakistan ever since I started reading Dawn. (seriously)
I’m sure Pakistani food is awesome, must be somewhat like Punjabi food, right? Are there any good/famous Pakistani vegetarian dishes, can you recommend some?

I guess subway must be in the brackets instead of metro
And have nice trip to watan! By the way, isn’t it weird to be nostalgic about India and expressing same on a Pakistani news paper while sitting in some western nation !!

Hyderabadi biryani is just the biryani you get in delhi plus lots of extra species. And the raita you get with Hyderabadi biryani is just water and little bit of cur, north side especializes in Raita also.

In 2008 when I visited Delhi i went all around the Jamma Masjid and Chandni Chowk area from 9.30 in the morning to 3.00 in the afternoon tasteing food from parhatas to kabbas and biryanis. Had one strip of flaygel 400 mg and Imodium just to make sure that my adventure do not fire back. I miss the pani purre of chandni chowk and Khan Market.

Visiting India next year after 15 years in Canada. And have scheduled a trip to Parathen Wali Gali for dinner one day at Pandit Gaya Parasad. Good to know that subway (metro) might be better option. Hope I and my family can handle the parathas else we are doom to be in hospital next day and spoil the entire trip

Well Rahul and Gaurav,
If you want magical baryani, just visit your brothers in Pakistan, you’ll love it. Also if you dont mind eating meat, Lahore and Peshawer will drive you crazy. And not to forget, RawalPindi ki Halwa Puri and Cholay.
