Karachi is slowly turning into Kababjees-land and there’s nothing X users can do about it, except, question what’s next? A Kababjee housing society? Kababjee-electric? Kababjee science centre? Kababjee parliament house? The possibilities are endless at the rate at which the franchise is expanding.

Users on X have let their imaginations run wild as Kababjees continues to branch out with a new venture every two months. It’s only a matter of time before the Kababjee owners give the Ambanis a run for their money.

Disagree? Here’s a recap — what started out as a humble restaurant serving mouthwatering kebabs has now transformed into a culinary empire that’s expanding faster than you can say “biryani.” And that expansion has triggered a meme-fest online.

It’s not just the expansion that’s causing a stir among Karachiites; it’s the sheer variety of ventures that Kababjees is delving into. From a bakery to Kababjees Express to Kababjees Fried Chicken, Kababjees is spreading its gastronomic gospel across the metropolis. Want a burger? Call Kababjees. Pizza? Kababjees. Have a medical emergency…?

The internet, never one to miss a beat, is beginning to wonder — is Pakistan on the brink of a Kababjees takeover? From envisioning a Kababjees airline where in-flight meals consist solely of succulent kebabs to dreaming up a Kababjees cricket team that bats with skewers, the creativity on X knows no bounds.

There’s even talk of Kababjees landing on the moon or opening branches on Mars before NASA gets there — talk about intergalactic cuisine!

There’s also the concern that a Kababjees Cattle Farm might pop up as Eidul Azha approaches…

One particularly witty X user likened Kababjees to the ELF of the food industry. It’s hard to argue with that comparison when you consider all the dupes that are popping up.

In a parallel universe, a user also informed that the “Kababjees cricket team has reached New York,” for the 2024 T-20 World Cup. Perhaps Shahid Afridi could get Kababjees onboard with that idea and partner up.

Alas! A netizen shared their vision for a Kababjees Airline. We’re hoping Kababjees hasn’t left the chat yet!

Amidst the jokes, there’s genuine curiosity brewing among foodies and non-foodies about Kababjees’ culinary talents where every corner of Pakistan is adorned with their logo. Is this the beginning of a new empire in Karachi’s food scene? Only time will tell.
