Weekend grub: Could these chapli kebabs from Peshawar be the best in Pakistan?
The story goes that it was in the mid-fifties that a lady named Ms Sultana started to sell homemade Chapli Kebabs from a small tuck shop built in her house in a remote town called Tharo Jabba.
In no time, she became a household name and became known as Sultana Aany, which means 'respected old woman' in Pashto. Today, after more than half a century, the legacy of Sultana Aany lives on.
Her gastronomical creation, famous by the name of Tharo Kebabs, are consumed all year round at the eatery, which is now spread over 150 marlas, including its kitchen and the original residence.
Where to go
Rambil Kebab House is located in Tharo Jabba town in the district of Nowshera, about 13km away from Peshawar city. The dilapidated marquee puts a shade over 25 plus charpoys, while the family hall accommodates 18 more.
