Similarly in Pakistan, chai and doodh pati are probably our alternative to the west’s coffee. It can be safely assumed that chai is Pakistan’s most admired beverage. With chai dhabasenveloping our land, this delish trend is raring to go.
Recently, a local chai dhaba came into business at Khadda Market, DHA, in Karachi. Within days of its opening, the dhaba has gathered a considerable reputation through word-of-mouth and Facebook marketing. Apart from that, the chief reason why the dhaba has shot to fame is due to its distinctive name, Gullu Butt Dhaba.
“There are two reasons why I decided to name the dhaba after Gullu Butt. Firstly, it was satirical as the name Gullu Butt has achieved enormous currency amongst the masses over the past few months,” explained Saad Afridi The owner of the cafe
“Secondly, one thing that happens at all chai dhabas is that men of all ages gather over there and talks of bringing about change overnight and becoming Turram Khans in their own minds. And Gullu Butt was just another Turram Khan who shot to fame due to his notoriety.”
Even the menu at Gullu Butt Chai Dhaba will inspire (a few laughs) wirh the political revolution-themed eatery, serving dishes like the ‘azadi chai’ and ‘inquilabi paratha’.
