Paratha rolls – Karachi’s proud delicacy

Imagine the warm, crispy paratha with the soft meat in it that melts in your mouth, and the chutney spilling out as you tear off the wrapper and bite into your delectable roll. Isn’t it scrumptious? Paratha rolls have rapidly acquired popularity across the country due to their deliciousness and convenience. One can roll out of the bed and get a paratha roll. No other city, however, can equal Karachi’s delicious rolls. Recently, various food outlets have sprouted up in the city who are offering paratha rolls although a few can prepare it according to your craving. For a delight that will make your taste buds dance with pleasure, the proper combination of meat, veggies, chutney, and the crispness of the paratha is a must when you are in Karachi.

Do you have a strong desire for one? Here are Karachi’s top eight paratha roll restaurants:

Silver Spoon

The most popular and well-known roll joint in the Tariq road region, which was launched in 1970. At their initial stage there were three of its branches which were known as silver spoon snacks, Adibs silver spoon and Mujeeb’s silver spoon, but right now only silver spoon is operating. If you ever get lost in Tariq road, simply ask for Silver Spoon and you’ll find your way home, but you won’t be able to leave until you’ve eaten at least two rolls due to its exquisite taste.

A-One Snacks

A-One Snacks has outgrown its initial location at Defense Market. It’s one of the earliest popular roll restaurants in Karachi since the 1990s, and it’s now accessible in Bahadurabad and the Defense Phase II extension. It was inaugurated on 1^st November, 1991 and since then its standing amongst the best paratha roll servers in the town. Hot, tasty, and incredibly excellent rolls are served by A-One Snacks. If you’re short on options and need a paratha roll to save your life, A-One Snacks’ Chicken Reshmi Kabab Roll is a great choice.

Red Apple

Located in Defense Phase 4, an area called Khadda Market is known for its roll joints. You can get the finest Kabab roll for delivery or dine-in at any time of the day from the very famous, Red Apple. The Pizza Roll is one of their specialties. The restaurant has expanded to areas of the city such as Bahadurabad, so you don’t have to cross the bridge to get your favourite roll snack.

Eaton

Eaton is next to A-One Snacks and serves the juiciest rolls. They have opened another franchise which is located in Sindhi Muslim Society, but the main branch is in Defense. The evergreen Eaton, with its limited-edition and specialty rolls such as the Chicken Big Roll, Chicken Big Cheese Roll, and Chicken Big Mayo Garlic Roll are a must try and should be tried when you are in Karachi.

Hot and spicy

Hot N Spicy is one of the best in Defense’s crowded Khadda Market area. It’s flanked by Red Apple and Mirchi 360, although it’s been there for a long time and the quality hasn’t been changed yet. You must try Hot N Spicy for a change of pace. The chicken Malai Boti roll and Chicken Garlic roll are their specialty and should be tried once in a lifetime.

Rizwan Kabab House

If you’ve never been to or heard of Rizwan’s Kabab House, you might be asking yourself, “What?” For those who have become loyal fans of the restaurant, ‘Rizwans’ is all they think of when they want the greatest paratha roll in town. It may not be the ideal hangout spot, but it has a unique flavour that few places in Karachi could match. What sets their paratha rolls apart from the rivals across the street is that they serve them in a poori, similar to the ones we enjoy at weddings. Yes, the poori is lighter than the paratha, but the contents are delicious and prepared according to your preferences.

Roll Inn

Roll Inn is any paratha roll lover’s dream location, with about 30 odd types of rolls to select from. While our favourite is the Chicken Reshmi and Kabab Chatni Roll, which melts in your mouth as soon as the first bite is taken, their Malai Chatni and Malai Cheese Rolls may also tempt you with their rich scents and delectable flavour.

Crescent Roll Corner

Bahadurabad is the home to several roll joints and this one is very popular. Crescent Roll Corner is well-known for its crisp and fresh roll parathas, but it also offers a variety of BBQ dishes at reasonable pricing. The dining space is informal and basic, although it is mostly for male teenagers.
