Street food has evolved over centuries, reflecting a mosaic of cultures and culinary traditions. From ancient Rome and China’s quick bites to medieval Europe’s hearty meals, vendors have served dishes that satisfy diverse tastes. In Pakistan, Nihari’s slow-cooked stew and Kabuli Pulao’s fragrant rice highlight local flavors.

Modern favorites like Anda Shami Burger and noodles draw from Chinese influence. Elachi Chai offers comfort with cardamom-infused tea, while Chapli Kebab showcases local grilling skills. Shawarma, from the Middle East, wraps meats in bread, blending global flavors on vibrant streets.
