Burns Garden is a small colonial-era park in Saddar, and the streets immediately around it have become an informal food street where vendors and small restaurants serve the kind of food that sustained Karachi's working population long before the city had shopping mall food courts. The stalls set up from the late afternoon onwards and run well into the night, specialising in Karachi street staples: nihari, haleem, bun kebabs, freshly fried snacks, and the chai that comes with everything.
The area is unvarnished and that is the point. Seating is plastic chairs or the bonnet of a parked car; service is brisk because there is always a queue. The food is cheap and, at the better stalls, genuinely good — this is how most of the city eats, not in the restaurants of Clifton. It is also one of the more accessible entry points into Karachi street food for visitors, being centrally located and sufficiently busy that a stranger eating there attracts no particular attention.
