Kartarpura Food Street By Rida Hussain

artarpura, one of the oldest food streets in downtown Rawalpindi, hosts an influx of visitors that throng the market for sumptuous food throughout the week. Long queues of people outside the eateries in the narrow street of Kartarpura are a regular sight with sellers speeding up to serve and pack the food to meet a large number of orders. Food Street comes in full swing at night.
Rawalpindi is a small city in the Potwar plateau near Pakistan’s federal capital, Islamabad. Hence, these cities are also called the ‘twin cities. It is among the top-rated food hotspots in Pakistan, having multiple Food Streets for the locals and tourists. The city has several Food Streets including the one at Saddar and another one at Bhabra Bazaar. But, the historic Kartarpura Food Street tops the game and is the most cherished dine-out place for the locals.
