Biryani ke naam pe pulao khila kay food capital

Has to be London.
You can get any type of food from around the world and with more choice than any other city. The range of food is from street food to Michelin.
Loved the food in Lahore, problem is it's hard to stop eating![]()
LOL No, y'all need to travel more. New York City hands down is the food capital of the world.
Food in America is terrible, no cousine what so ever. Specifically, food in NY isnt great.

Lahore’s food is incredibly overrated. It has no proper speciality. Basically everything that you can get in Lahore is available elsewhere and it is usually superior as well.

I've been to NYC and wasn't too impressed by the halal options. Maybe for those who don't eat halal it is.
Your question is literally if "Lahore is the food capital of the Earth"![]()
Even if you wanna change the question to "halal food capital of the world", Lahore wouldn't even be in the top 5. Halal food isn't just desi food.
New York City hands down. Toronto is not too bad either when it comes to variety of cuisines.
I have travelled all over the world over the years and can comfortably said that Mumbai is the food capital of the world. No other city comes close in my opinion.
Lmao the food in both Toronto and New York does not compare to Pakistani cities in terms of taste
[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] there was this really famous mind blowingly good chaplee kebab I had in Peshawar about a decade ago when my cousins lived there. I forgot where it was from. Any ideas? It was close to Hayatabad
Taste is highly subjective though. Pakistani cities do not offer the variety of authentic cuisines that NYC and London too, in addition to all types of meat.

Better than throwing disgusting aloos in there and calling it "Biryani."
When cooked properly, it's awesome. Don't hate![]()
Nope. I would rather choose to starve myself to death instead of eating "Biryani" with aloos in them.
Agree, spent 5 years in NYC, couldn't get a decent authentic karahi or biryani anywhere, everywhere i went, they sold "Goat Curry" lol, even decent halal fried chicken was very sub standard and no different to the cheap 99p chicken and chips place scattered in every corner of the UK.
Was really impressed with my last visit to Karachi, anything you wanted eat had a specialty restaurant located somewhere which was never empty of customers.
I’m telling you man. I’ve been to so many countries around the world but I don’t think Karachi can be beaten in terms of food. I’d rather grow up in the tumultuous Karachi of the late 2000s and early 2010s again, than the safest city in the world but with average food
Okay so, let's say Karachi is 10/10. What's Lahore?
Well you like it or not but Lahore is always called the cultural city of Subcontinent and also the most famous city for food from Pakistan, at least among the people I know. No one even mentiones Karachi or any other city. Note: I’m not from Lahore.
But the best answer can come from people not living in Lahore. But I don’t trust the 3-4 Karachi posters here, they are too biased.
Don't know about Lahore but in India its defiantly Hyderabad![]()
Biryani is famous in HyderabadI’ve heard from some Indian friends here that it’s Delhi
I will always prefer biryani without aloos but people who cry about something as small as having aloos in their biryani, obviously have other issues. Baby tastebuds![]()
Thank you for your input but I don't remember asking you. Have a good day.
Who said I was even replying to you directly? I was talking about such people in general. Don't overestimate your importance

Such a nice coincidence that your post was right below mine.

London's choices are limited to the old world. New York City has everything London has plus high quality authetic Hispanic cuisine which is absent in most of Europe, heck even Toronto doesn't have a decent Hispanic food scene. Besides that I don't think any city in Europe has a decent Polynesian food scene, they probably never even heard of a Pacific islander.
As a Londoner, I agree with [MENTION=142256]Pakistanian[/MENTION] as I can say NYC has everything London has ... What NYC has that London does not that have is the explosion of Latina culture and hence the cuisine. I am not talking about that 1 Brazilian or that 1 Mexican, I am talking about that Dominican, Venezulen , Puerto Rican etc. spread across neighborhoods in the form of Rest. , carts, bodegas etc. ...Also, some of the best of it i have had is from the carts and at local bodegas.
Why go for cart food when you get all those in London from top class resturants?
Carts are great for brief snack breaks in between lunch and dinner.
Unfortunately we don't have that variety of Latin cuisine in London. Mexican food is my favourite and there are way more options in NYC for all kinds of Latin cuisine.
Prob because we dont have so many hispanics esp those who are working class and need carts for cheap quick food. Yep in NYC there would be more.
But London has the most variety of any city imo. Im a big fan of cheese . Have you been to the cheese bar in Camden? Next on my list when I pop down New Years Eve.
Taste is not subjective and authentic cuisine does not matter when you have Tipu Burger
I only like cheese on Pizza, but I've been to the cheese bar in Camden and it is good. Keep a eye out for the yellow truck as well, but I think they only bring that out in the summer.

UK overall has the worst food ask any outsiders lol
London is 38 square miles bigger than NY. It has more choice, this is simple logic. Try some food in London instead of reading the minds of outsiders.![]()
I would say NY. You can find every kind of food there.
What? It a chance - I’ve lived in NY for over 6 years and it’s not even close.
London is by far the most well rounded city in terms of food but they are dispersed - not just focusing in the immediate places in Leicester Square.
Best Italian - Sardo in fitzrovia
Best pizza - pizza Rustica in Richmond (imo - won best pizza uk for 4 years straight)
Best steak - many say Guachos but I prefer the Moo Cantina in Pimlico
That’s the beauty of London - you have everything from Michelin Star restaurants to street food markets and something in between.

Etc etc

No it doesn't lol, New York is considered the capital of the world. London lacks quality Hispanic food and I don't care about some food carts, unless you've had authentic hispanic food in the Americas your tastebuds can't judge if the hispanic cuisine is good. London also lacks polynesian food, I don't think y'all even know what pok-e is.
haha, you yanks think you are the best at everything. Here is a fact for you lad.
NY has 16 Michelin star restaurants.
London has 67 Michelin star restaurants.
Can you subtract and tell me the difference in number?![]()

https://www.businessinsider.com/new-york-city-vs-london-comparison-2015-5It's hard to find the exact number of restaurants in New York City and London, which makes it difficult to say which city has more. But in terms of quality, NYC seems to be ahead.
One hundred and twenty six of NYC's restaurants have been awarded Michelin stars, just over twice the number of London's Michelin star rated restaurants (62).
There are also nine NYC restaurants that made it onto the World's 100 Best Restaurants list, whereas only five London restaurants made it onto the list.
16 dude, you got this from BOJO? You should read the whole article you took the numbers from, 16 awarded only in 1 year.
Ny has over 100+ Michelin star restaurants
LOL No, y'all need to travel more. New York City hands down is the food capital of the world.
If you visit the official michelin page you will find a different number.
What we know for sure is London and its outskirts have 8 3* michelin restuarants compared to 5 in NY.
London also has more halal food options.
