Bun Kababs are the quintessential Karachi street food item. Of course they’re available everywhere but people call them other names, like anday wala burger or papu burger (lol yeah, people in Lahore actually do call it that). It doesn’t matter what time of the day it is, a bun kabab dipped in some questionable chutney is all that you need for the taste of Pakistan.

Whenever you’re craving for anday wala burger, or a bun kabab with aaloo, chicken, or beef, try out these places and they’re surely going to satisfy your rumbling tummy:

Gazebo

Gazebo on Saba Avenue (Defence/ Clifton) has been a favorite for years. While it’s famous for chaat, dosas and other South Indian snacks, its bun kabab is a delight. The aalo tikki one is just as good as the traditional beef one.

Chatkharay is a Khadda Market chaat joint that serves mouth-watering bun kababs. Their desi burgers are simple, fresh and just oh-so-satisfying.
