After arriving in Karachi, Pakistan, after midnight, I jumped up just a few hours later to go on my first street food tour in the country. Join me on my Pakistani street food breakfast experience, where I got to meet the king of parathas in Karachi, Pakistan!
My first morning in Pakistan kicked off bright and early at 8:30 a.m. I couldn’t wait to get my first taste of Pakistani breakfast items. I was so pumped and ready to go!
👕 DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH: teespring.com/...
I met up with my boy Furqan, who told me I’d be having parathas with an omelet, channa, and chai.
Furqan and I made our way to Quetta Alamgir Hotel. There, I washed my hands with soap and water at the sink outside the restaurant.
A paratha is a layered flatbread that’s pan-fried with ghee. The vendor we visited is known as the King of Parathas in Karachi. He cooks his lachha parathas in a massive pan!
The chai was sweet and frothy. I really liked the cardamom flavor. The egg was nice and fiery. I love when my food has a kick of heat and these eggs really hit the spot!
Meanwhile, the lachha paratha was very flaky and crispy. It reminded me a lot of the parottas I ate in Kerala, India. Dipping it into the channa is the best! The chilies, sauce, and flaky texture of the paratha was excellent!
Then, I dipped some of the paratha into the chai. I loved the combination! Mixing the paratha, chickpeas, and egg together can’t be beat, though!
After eating, I washed my hands thoroughly. A lot of the local kids came up to me to see what I was doing. Then, the owner gave me a Sindhi cap. Everyone welcomed me with open arms, and then they comped our meal!
Then, we went to have a yogurt drink called lassi at Sialkot Milk Centre. Here, you can go up and order, or you can sit in your car and the waiter will come to you.
Lassi is the perfect thing to drink after a spicy meal! You can also buy bread and various flavored milkshakes there. It had a nice layer of yogurt on top and was more liquid on the bottom. It coated my stomach and was super refreshing.
From there, Furqan and I drove past restaurants, vendors, and mid-rise and high-rise buildings on our way to Empress Market. We were lucky; the temperature wasn’t too hot and there wasn’t much traffic.
The market is located in an beautiful, British-style building and dates back to 1889. Pakistan used to be part of India from 1858 to 1947 under the British Raj. When India became independent, Pakistan also broke off to become its own country.
It’s an old-school bazaar and is like taking a step into the past. I saw vendors selling tons of chilies, as well as spices, fruits, vegetables, honey, peanuts, and clothing. One of the vendors let me try some of his delicious figs and dates.
In the center of the market is a guy selling hairy coconuts. The coconut water wasn’t sweet and had a unique flavor.
I also saw vendors selling pickled achar with mangoes as well as moringa and different oils. The man who sells the oils will extract oils from your seeds, coconuts, or nuts if you want!
Further on were snacks, cookware for grills, and household items. The market was actually quite small! There’s an extension of the market outside where you can buy clothing and street food like samosas, parathas, and biryani.
A vendor invited me in his shop, where he sold lots of toys! What an incredible Pakistani street food breakfast in Karachi, Pakistan!

About Me:
My name is David Hoffmann. For the last 13 years, I have been traveling around the world in search of unique culture, food, and history! Since starting David’s Been Here in 2008, I have traveled to over 1,200 destinations in 82 countries, which I welcome you to check out on my TH-cam channel, travel blog, and social media sites.
I focus a great deal on food and historical sites, as you probably have seen! I love to experience the different flavors that each destination has to offer, from casual street food to gourmet restaurant dining. I’m also passionate about learning about the local history and culture.
P.S. Thank you for watching my videos and subscribing!
The last man from the toy shop, he was saying 'Chai pilaye, chai pilaye?'. He was basically offering and asking you for tea, which you already might know by now. Man, these Pakistanis and their hospitality. I can't even........
Where're you from?

@FitAussieAngie where do You live in OZ??
@@MrKhokhar92 why do you need to know?
@@SH-wk9xx stalk her
"PLEASE KEEP KARACHI CLEAN'. There should be no trash or litter on the streets.
You seem to brighten up their day with all your enthusiasm and thumbs up gestures. They are more reserved but you can tell they love it.
Similar like our porrotta in Kerala.. India...👍❤️❤️. Yummy. Love from 🇮🇳
I love only Kerala and Punjabi people's in india.. Love you brother
So similar
no its not similar ur parotha is soft but our is crunchy
@@syedtahanazar you doesn't eat good porotta then.they are too crunchy
@@waqasbaloch3990 in Singapore and Malaysia its called Roti Prata
Enjoy David. I have no money right now but looking forward to visiting Pakistán in the near future.
no need of money...just come and everything is almost free especially for tourists
@@pakistanikhan804 That's really generous. I know what you say is true. Mark Wiens (An American food tourist and TH-cam vlogger) wasn't charged for most of the meals he had, even though he offered to pay.
@saqib shab agreed.
@@oceejekwam6829 Also Drew Binsky, another You Tuber.
@@shoaibimdad very true, I had forgotten about him.
These type of authentic..raw.. street food videos are so much more fun to watch. Have been following you since you went to Meghalaya.. Loving your series! Keep it coming David
You are welcome too 🇵🇰🇺🇸 love you from new Jersey USA ⚘🇺🇸🇵🇰 my Asian friend.
Bro he is a pro in eating Indian subcontinent's food you don't need to teach him. He has been teaching people how to eat Indian / Pakistani Food in Miami
It's etiquettes brothers.
We have our own ways of eating. We don't eat on banana leaves.
Yes he is genius in food field👍☕🍵 his best drink Chao😋
@@rhna8298 your all food is taken from north indian food nothing special
@@urmiladevi8728 Our food is not taken from North indian food we have our unique dishes and nothing in common with country india..
This is your first day and it’s already difficult to surpass this I think!
Get ready!
Me eating rice and sambar while watching people eat delicious food. This lockdown is so horrible! 😥
sambhar rice is soul food
😔😔
Lockdown time nyaag nodakka hogbaard...

Lachedar paratha with fried egg and chai OMG is out of this world ❤️
I am from india but i know that pakistani food is best food in world.looks so delicious!
Loved the flakiness of those Ghee fried Paratha 🤤

You have been to India before and now in Pakistan, absolutely no difference in anyway with regards to food. Personally I just love the Roti from Pakistan (which I had in Dubai). Amazing video.. Lots of Love to David and Pakistani Brothers.
🇮🇳🇵🇰 ❤️
Actually the food in both countries is different. You’ll find out when you see more vlogs of different cities in Pakistan
@@LetUsUnderstandIslamTogether Overall it's the same as I had few Pakistani friends in Saudi and Dubai. Somewhat few things are different but it's the same in terms of feel and emotions of the Food. Like I said I just Loved the Pakistani rotis type which is far better than ours.
Meanwhile I am craving to watch these tasty food from our brother country
I wish our govts. let us get visas easily bro, we can do the cheapest tourism to each others countries and also can do business (and get rich together)...
But its just a wish...😔
@@LazyIncubuss thats not gonna happen everyone knows it
WoW- I will visit Pakistan for sure. Their food and hospitality is superb.
Pakistan seems very interesting! I just wish they started wearing masks, the pandemic is far from being over and it seems like not many people care right there. Be safe, brothers.
Covid has less intensity in Pakistan. But yes we should be careful and follow SOPs.
Yes, plz care ur health, not for ur self but for those who depends upon u.
just the women wear masks
Loving this, people so friendly, that makes such a difference😀
It just sucks to see that people welcoming Britishers and American's like that and we being together for thousands of years, now created so many differences among us. I hope conflicts resolve and everything goes back to normal.
You are absolutely right
A hearty welcome David to Pakistan.
Enjoy your stay. Stay blessed stay safe.
Seems like a amazing place tbh would love to go there maybe I will 2022 I will be there ❤️
don't forget you burqa
@@JohnJones-wo1bc been before didn’t wear one should stop spreading lies and misinformation
U r welcome in Pakistan as you are
I kinda feel a little sorry for that guy selling the toys in an age where the majority of kids are all playing games on their phones etc. But then I remember he lives in pakistan hes the luckiest guy in the world to live in a place where the food is so diverse and deelicious.
Welcome to Pakistan ❤️ Love from India❤️
Love you from Pakistan 🇵🇰
Welcome to the land of hospitality
You should come visit as well
This guy ate the spicy greasy breakfast like a champ. I’m so proud 😭. I don’t even know the guy
even though both countries watch same type movies, speak punjabi and urdu, eat same food, drive on same side...
why can't we live in peace???
because of politics .. when British left 1947 the should be resolve the Kashmir problem but unfortunately both countries still fighting each others because of Kashmir...
You haven't accepted our genuine help for covid crisis in India. What do u want us to do?
Just Kashmir issue. Nothing else.
@saqib shab Pakistani PM and the entire Pakistani ministry is well known across this universe for taking u-turns in anything decisions they make. That is why not a single country in this whole world takes Pakistan seriously anymore.
In international diplomacy U-turns are considered to be the worst part of any deal and the country who takes it, as often as Pakistan becomes a state of mockery and is unreliable in all the aspects for other nations.
@saqib shab they won't accept it. So why to argue !
Hi David, my wife and I love your channel! Great show! 🤠❤️

🇮🇳💓🇵🇰
True bhai❤️
@saqib shab So did the Muslims from West Pakistan they denied the rights for the people of East Pakistan who later became Bangladesh at 1971.
Moreover Mahatma Gandhi was all in favor of giving Muslims equal rights. If India denied its right to equality towards minorities as per your claims then explain this how can Dr. Abdul Kalam become the president of India. How can we have Muslim leaders like Owaisi brothers in India.
It was for the greed of a power hungry person who thought he won't get much importance after independence that he wanted a nation of his own. And decided to divide the country as per religion. Though one remaind secular and the other one is providing UN with toilet papers in the name of dossier against the other.
That breakfast looked yummy 👍
I live in England we have alot of pakistani breakfast places and I love the food
I wanna these layered parathas 😍
I love you're content
Love from India ...
Pakistani food are very very good super excellent.
Pakistan and kashmir people are very humble and friendly
I had paratha the other day.omg amazing bread
Take care of yourself David,in this corona situation,May God keep you safe always,as usual wonderful watching your videos,Love you all Karachi people,love from India.
There ain't no corona crisis in pakistan like India alhumdulillah
Not gonna lie, Karachi is pretty similar to Hyderabad, India. Great Vid.
Muslim influence in Hyderabad is huge so thats why the similarity and not to forget most of them r Urdu muslims too
Please don’t compare our Hyderabad ,
Karachi is mini Pakistan. It has vibrant colors of its own.
@@India-id1cm why not
Lachcha Paratha my favourite, especially the Malabari version.
Injeer ( dry common fig ).. Welcome to Pakistan 🇵🇰🌹🌷🌹🇵🇰❤️🇵🇰
I love the Pakistani non-veg recipes and tried cooking some..they r simply delicious...let's start sharing our foods across our borders and someday we would end up with chain of food restaurants instead of wires. 😇
🙏🏻Love from 🇮🇳#jaihind
Did you try karhai ?
If any help needed regarding cooking you can ask ❤️
Hey David i am Toheed remember me i met you in lahore at Waqas biryani
Try chapli kabab in Pakistan i am waiting for that😊😊
Must have tried. He went to Pakistan in Jan, i think.
welcome to pakistan . love to see U in PAKISTAN
These long green veggies are called sajna, or drumsticks. Very good for arthritis.
Love from Peshawar
This is Pakistani🇵🇰🇵🇰 food 😎 World most spicy food 🇵🇰
Amazing 😻
Love u david from nepal💖💖
Everything is just the same like in India, the food, the market, the people.. I wonder why media outlets are so hateful? I was eagerly waiting to watch the country which is being taught to hate, but I found it nothing different. So how can we hate someone who is just our resemblance.
Ad placement and timing was interesting
Welcome to Pakistan 🇵🇰
Sialkot (My city) Milk Centre. Best of Luck for your Pakistan tour (even though I have watched your later video of 29th May, 2021)
Love from India Mumbai.Loved the video way more to go.All the best David.👍🏻
That oil shop was unique ... 👌

Wow! Dude you need to get a life. So who cares what religion anyone is. What matters that he is a good person. Some of you all are scary AF. All paths lead to the SAME GOD.
@@jenkudlano not same God...
And suppose same God than why terrorists always saying that " Allah hu akbar " And killing so many inocent people...?
Why Israel streak actions against hamas in gaza ?
Final answer : this world not longer survive with peaceful community...
Peaceful community against humanity...
Safe humanity safe your future ...
@@harshrao821 Whatever religion it maybe GOD wants us all to be kind and peaceful with each other. Religion exists to guide us to be better versions of ourselves but there are assholes that use it to kill and hurt others. Those are not true people of GOD no matter what they brainwash themselves or others to believe.
Love❤️ from India...
pratha looks amazing
I wanna come try some foods with you,do a vid called flying a fan out trying India food😍
Their culture is so cool
Long time no see in Asia
I have Lasi in India, it was delicious =)
Wat a great start to a series which i presume is gionna be awesome...Those crispy parathas with chickpeas was just mouthwatering even from behind the screen.
Nice video 👍
