Burns Road Food Street

A long-running food street in central Karachi known for Karachi-style barbecue, biryani and street snacks from small, established eateries.

Burns Road is one of Karachi's oldest and most concentrated food streets, lined with stalls and small restaurants known for biryani, nihari and a range of traditional Karachi street food. It's a dense, no-frills strip built entirely around eating rather than sightseeing, busiest in the evenings when the smell of grilling meat and fresh naan fills the street. For a taste of the city's food culture in its most unpolished form, this is one of the most reliable places to go.
