Shehar e Karachi’s Bur Dubai and Al Quoz branches have been feeding more than 500 people ending their fast every day in Ramadan. The Pakistani restaurant has been doing this for 22 years at Bur Dubai and two years at its new Al Quoz branch.
Every evening throughout Ramadan, visitors flock to Shehar e Karachi to end the fast with dates and water before partaking of food such as samosas, pakodas (fried savoury), chickpeas, fruit and juices.
The Bur Dubai outlet of the restaurant has been carrying on with the tradition for 22 years with people of all income groups coming for iftar, be they executives, workers and even families of various nationalities.
Zubair’s family came to the Gulf about 30 years ago and it was their father Abdul Razaq who started offering free iftar in Bur Dubai.
The tradition is now carried forward by Mohammad Zubair and his brothers Aziz Ahmad and Atiq Ahmad.
The trio likes to maintain a low profile and continue with the charitable work without seeking any publicity.
