    Situated inside a 100-year-old house on Parsi Colony, Karachi, Cillie’s looks nothing like a mainstream confectionery yet immediately gives a warm homely feeling. Though the business started in a house in Garden East nearly 50 years ago by a Parsi lady named Cilly, who now lives in Texas, the bakery was moved to its current location thirteen years ago when the owner sold the previous house. The house at Parsi Colony is owned by a sweet lady named Bakhtawar. Though the structure is multi-storey, the business itself functions through a small window on the ground floor. Serving a range of desserts including plain cakes, butter icing cakes, and ice creams, Cillie’s was actually the first bakery to introduce fresh cream cakes. The delicacies remain so popular amongst the Parsi Community that Naushad Mehta, Cilly’s son, has opened an outlet of Cillie’s Cakes in Houston as well.

    All items from Cillie's are fantastic - date and walnut pastry, nutcracker icecream cake, plain marmelade cake to name a few. Thank you CILLIES - we can fall back on you for our last minute celebrations for birthdays, anniversaries and all happy occasions. God Bless

    Paris Colony is the best cleaner quiter beautiful historical area in Karachi .. One can feel the beauty of this city before Partition roaming around this colony .... No change around 100 years .. open garden beautiful houses lower boundaries wide quite streets ... The Government Must Must Must save and preserve this small colony and don't let this area to go under builder Mafias in future ....
    Our future generation would be able to see how the city was before independence

    Sadly most of people from Parisi colony have moved abroad because of the real estate mafia that is the reason 70% of those houses are empty ,surrounding tall buildings are slowly squeezing this historic neighborhood it’s a shame soon this neighborhood will be disappeared unless government gives them protection which they will not , Watch BBC documentary on this neighborhood which explains why it’s disappearing

    Parsis didn't move out of Pakistan due to any fear.
    Historically Parsis were migrants.
    However people from all walks of life keep moving from one place to another in quest for an ambitious future and such has been the way of life, always.
