Amidst all the shopping, eating, and coffee-chugging joints to be found in our gem of a city, Karachi was once also a bursting home of shisha cafes.
The desi hookah snaked its way into the hearts (or rather, lungs) of Karachiites and became one of most loved past times.
However, over the years, the police’s crackdown against shisha bars across town led to the shut down of various popular centers. Authorities had sealed numerous shisha centers and had taken several lawbreakers into custody.
Very few try to secretly exist in the city and if they are lucky, they are never caught by the cops.
However, one eatery inย Gulshan-e-Iqbal has now come under fire for having a shisha bar!
