The true charm of the Mandi experience in Karachi lies in the traditional floor-seating arrangements called 'majlis'. Friends and families gather around large communal platters, enjoying tender mutton or chicken that pulls apart with mere touch, accompanied by specialized tomato and chili chutneys (sahawiq).
While areas like Gulshan-e-Iqbal and North Nazimabad initially pioneered the trend, you can now find grand, multi-story Mandi establishments throughout DHA and Clifton.
