Welcome to

Karachi Chefs Association

Food in Pakistan is a celebration of life. Our happiness, our memories, our culture, and traditions revolve around lavishly cooked feasts.

When we celebrate our family, we sit together at our table and eat a meal together. When we celebrate friends, we join together and have a BBQ, relishing the process of cooking together, laughing, and enjoying each other’s company. When we practice and celebrate our religion, we invite people to our dastarkhwan to serve free Sehri and Iftar in Ramazan, distribute Niaz in Muharram, and send Kheer to our neighbors and family on Eid.

Our expressions of love, of culture, of brotherhood, and peace are incomplete without food, the essence of the culinary freedom we enjoy in our country.

Karachi is one of the largest megacities in the world, home to numerous ethnicities, cultures, and traditions. It is entrepreneurial, multicultural, and diverse. Aptly named ‘mini-Pakistan’ for its ability to accommodate every ethnicity and language, Karachi also hosts a diversity of foods and culinary delights. From roadside Biryanis, Burgers, and Chola Chat to the international cuisines of five-star restaurants, our megacity has it all.

From this diversity, this multiculturalism sprouts an organization that aims to encapsulate the love of food innate to our city and represent it, in the world through its programs, training, events and festivals. We are Karachi Chefs Association – we are Karachi, the culinary heart of Pakistan.
