Let’s face it. Karachi Eat’s lines are super long and they’re bound to be longer this Saturday and Sunday. The festival kicked off today (Friday) and will go on till January 12 at at the Beach Park on Edhi Avenue, Sea View. The best stalls will have the longest lines but which ones are going to be worth the wait?

O Donuts

Getting famous on Karachi’s food groups, ODonuts is giving Easy a run for their money. The donuts are soft and fresh and a big hit with Karachiites. Worth the line and best with a cup of chai. They are priced at Rs. 160 per donut at their stall.

Crust Bros

Authentic Italian Neopolitian Pizza? Karachi is a tough crowd to please when it comes to pizza so this one is definitely worth the try. Even if it doesn’t live up to the taste, Crust Bros is doing what the fancy bakery, Marcels did when it launched in Karachi: introducing 24k gold as a enticing meal for Karachiites. The crust of the pizza is 24K gold and topped with gold too. Will be interesting to see how well this one does – we’re on the fence since this might work in Lahore but Karachiites are a bit more finicky about the flavour more than the shashkas. But will be interesting to try it out.

Tikyani

Hai the traditionalists will not like this one at all. But it will be worth a try. Tikka Biryani can only do well if it doesn’t taste like chicken and rice, which most tikka biryanis end up tasting as. It’s not completely new though and some major food dhaabas do it well. It will create interest but it will have to be really good for people to rush towards it. Everyone knows there’s one dish that everyone in Karachi is an expert on – it’s biryani.

Sol

Their burgers are out of this world good. And they are at Karachi Eat and a long line is expected. Although they have suffered reviews about their brisket being dry, this is one line that will be long and the end result should be worth the wait

Mana’s Cookies

Are they us good as the abroad wale Ben’s cookies? Apparently, they are and they will be available at Karachi Eat, the cookie and giant marshmallows too. And who can resist a cookie s’more? Watch out for the line on this one.
