There’s no stopping when it comes to Karachi vs Lahore debate. Karachi stands unparalleled when it comes to food and the praise comes from people all over the country! And it was no different this time when people started showing their love for Karachi’s food after this tweet got quoted countless times!

Haha, it’s a FACT!
Fellow Lahoris, please understand we’re not traitors when we say this, because it’s not an opinion https://t.co/g28xPkWmN4

Some shared how it was more of quantity vs taste:
Lahore k khano ki log boht tareef krte hain lekin meri observation ye hai Lahori sirf quantity ko he count krte hain – oil zyada, meetha zyada etc. As far taste and presentation is concerned, Karachi is un-matachable

Many agreed how Karachi has the best food!
No doubt… Khi ka food is best https://t.co/uwvyu77xpB

Some were, rather, critical:
All I can see is a messy plate https://t.co/WsLPIkmYmj

Some admitted how they’d move to Karachi just for the food:
No disagreements there. Would move to Karachi just for the food https://t.co/YsHdUMi6Bq

Some were calling it a ghalat fehmi:

Some threw major shade at the Lahoris:
Kuch lahori khi aker khi k khano ki buraya kertay bicharo k taste buds ko fungus Jo lagi hoi ha https://t.co/AuqyWXkjuL

Talk about winning biryani, the actual biryani:

He’s got a point though:
This was not the picture to make your point with, though!

People were recommending more places to eat at when in Karachi:
Meh that Karachi arab food! Damascus is also good and has a great back story linked to al zuldiqar. Do have the melt in your mouth gola kababs at ghaffar at port grand

For some the clear winner was still Lahore:
Karachi ka behtar hai.. Lahore ka behtareen hai
— Osama Khan 🇵🇰 (@oakdurrani) March 12, 2020
And some thought he had clearly lost it:
Are you out of mind
