Karachiites and their passion for food has always been a topic of discussion on social media food forums and why not? Isn’t desi food worth all the love it gets from our people and the ones visiting from abroad?
Speaking of foreigners, one of the places which qualifies to be a major tourist attraction is Do Darya. This place not only has the best food but also great surroundings. Just take a look:
However, some shocking news came out a few weeks ago claiming that Karachi was soon to lose the Do Darya strip before Ramazan. And just when the news had somewhat sunk in (though not completely), some pictures of the demolished site starting doing the rounds on social media.

Have been hearing news about the Do Darya food street in DHA Phase 8 being ordered to wrap up business to make way for high-rise buildings but was still not prepared for this sight today. 😢 #DoDarya #DHA #Karachi#Restaurants #foodstreet pic.twitter.com/8GpEKH2LJg

Will there ever be a replacement for the Do Darya food strip? We don’t know. RIP Do Darya, you shall be forever loved and missed.
