In 1947 when India and Pakistan gained independence
then the founding fathers who came to karachi from Delhi
started their businesses with the name of 'Delhi'
and this practice still exists

This is the message we want to convey through this video...
Over to you Zia !
Ok, Anubhav bhai, now we are in the restaurant
Its a really cool restaurant
Let me tell you a little
We belong to Meerut and Delhi
My Grand Father came from Meerut to Karachi
He was a friend of Liaquat Ali Khan (Pakistan's First Prime Minister )
So when he came to Karachi with Liaquat Ali Khan
Then they thought we have now come here so now what to do !
So with a small cart my father Mehmmod bundo khan
and my grand father AlHaaj Bundoo Khan started this work
and the first one who tasted two Kababs on the cart was Liaquat Ali Khan himself
I was around the end of 1947...
today whatever rush you looking at is their hard work
they planted a tree and we are giving it water and benefiting from its fruits
Did Bundo Khan had a food shop in India too?
No in India he was a goldsmith
Oh, he left the gold business and migrated to Pakistan?
yes  yes...
Our half relatives are still living in India
In Meerut and Delhi
We also wish and feel happy to go there and meet our relatives
these things cannot be left behind...
they have red blood and so do we have...
We also wish that may we can easily visit each other...
My younger brother visits Delhi every year in Novemeber for the festival
In Palgazi ground, 14th to 28th November
a festival will be held
in which there will be a Bundo Khan's stall too
Anubhav bhai, you have to go there
and specially must try Bundo Khan's mutton kababs
because we will also be tasting the mutton kababs in just a while...
I have been doing food tours in old delhi since 8 years
and if you ask me one place  or one recommendation in Delhi
then i would tell you Aslam Chicken Corner
their chicken is really different and  delicious
you see this is chicken
along with butter
yogurt, cream and other combination of  ingredients
it is said that the chicken is made by Aslam bhai...
but he learnt it from Pakistan... is it true?
No it is not true...
its made in Pakistan too
so you can say we just consult with each other...
Aslam bhai's special
butter chicken tikka
it will melt in your mouth
mind blowing
Zia bhai tell us if Karachi, Pakistan also has this kind of chicken...
tell us about Karachi's food and taste
Lets try the mutton kababs...
Wow... amazing...
Maqsood bhai you have outdone yourself...
so delicious, soft and juicy...
tell us something about the recipe...
these are special ingredients and we dont share our recipe...
thats true, recipe should be a secret...
i have eaten at bundo khan alot of times
but today...
Maqsood bhai is with me, and Anubhav and Arbaz bhai...
and the joy of eating with all of you has no comparision
Thank you Anubhav and Arbaz bhai for providing us the opportunity to eat with Maqsood bhai here in Karachi...
and with this
our old Delhi taste journey has come to an end
we just showed you some glimpses, old delhi has alot more tastes..
and in sh Allah in next episode we'll show you some more places...
Over to you Zia...
Thank you Anubhav bhai
You really helped me in making this video
and as you said
I also wish to visit old delhi,
and to eat at the mohammad ali road of mumbai
and visit my ancestors city Lucknow !
but for the time being we can only spread the message of love and peace through this video
and pray that May we can easily visit each other....
and with this note, takecare of yourself...
Allah Hafiz...
