 Iran’s food, much like its arts, language and culture, is quite subtle. No exploding flavours here. Just a sublime hint of what lies beneath and the rest is left to the gastronome to savour. Matter of fact, many Pakistanis tend to describe it as pheeka (too plain). Perhaps this is a grave injustice, for if the chillou kebab served up at one of Karachi’s famed Iranian cafes is anything to go by, Iranian cuisine is anything but bland.

 One only wished there was an Iranian chai khana nearby where one could wash down the meal with strong tea and preferably lie down for a bit to help digest the feast.

 If you grew up in Karachi and have visited Saddar you couldn’t have missed the little shop outside Bohri Bazaar on Dr Daudpota Road, opposite the Tit Bit Bookstall and the Parsi Temple. This is the Sailani Bhelpuri and Chaat Shop which has been around for 54 years or so, the shop-owner Abdur Rehman proudly told me as he handed me my a plate of crunchy, tangy bhelpuri.

 WHEN discussing kebabs, especially in the context of international cuisine and its local manifestations, one feels it is a bit of an omnibus term. So many dishes come under the rather large umbrella of the word that one finds it quite difficult to pick a focus.

 THOUGH the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 and the subsequent flood of refugees created a number of problems here in Pakistan, most notably an influx of narcotics, arms and the proliferation of an extremist ideology, perhaps the one positive aspect that came out of the whole sordid affair was the availability of Kabuli pulao in Pakistan.

 WHEN it comes to hunting for good quality karahi gosht, there are a few hotspots scattered across Karachi foodies will swear by. The numerous eateries on the Super Highway, the place located at the end of the Lasbella bridge, along with the restaurants facing the Arabian Sea near Bilawal House immediately spring to mind.
