Unfortunately, our managing editor said he does not like dessert. Needless to say, we were beyond appalled and are questioning every decision he’s ever made.

All looking good and tasty but I suggest people over 40 years and older should avoid it because of sweetness and oily products.

How do you sleep well by writing articles with such obscene prices that perhaps only 1% of people can even think of and fewer can actually buy? Plus, desserts are the main cause of chronic diseases and you have to order it everyday at 4 pm. Shameful!

Burns Road Rubri... I'm not sure why it's not included alongside the famous Jalebi and Kulfi of Karachi.

This list feels more like something you'd find in a European city than in Karachi, where traditional desserts are an essential part of our food culture. It's surprising to see no mention of classic local favorites like Dehli Rabri, Dhamthal’s famous Suji ka Halwa, the iconic Gulab Jamun from Mehmood Sweets, or the entire range of mithai from S. Abdul Khaliq. These are the flavors that truly define Karachi’s dessert scene and deserve a spot on any top list!

What about ice creams, rabri, baklawa etc available from outlets across the kala pul? Oh, sorry, they are not worthy

What! No Halwa puri. No Baluch Pista ice cream. No Burns Road Rubbri? Was this list prepared by an American drone?
