The food festival provides a delectable culinary snapshot of various cuisines, from sandwiches and pizzas to chapli kebabs and khaosay, the variety is sure to satiate every foodie’s appetite.

So much to eat, so little stomach space! But don’t worry, you can come back for multiple helpings. Karachi Eat runs from January 23 to January 25 from 4:00pm to 11:00pm.
