This is the type of niche, super detailed reporting I live for. Incredible piece.

I finally made time to read the print issue of the the Vittles Magazine last weekend and this article blew me away. Such beautiful writing; I loved the stories, particularly the history of the Avari family whom I never knew anything about despite the hotel being the backdrop of so many stories I heard as a child. An incredible piece of journalism which was a joy to read. Thank you !

Love this story - and couldn't help but grin at the Ismailis on their way home from Jamat Khana picking up sushi - as their brothers and sisters in London (of which I am one) might also do.

Gosh I loved this read. Haven’t been to Karachi in over half my life, but this article felt like I could picture it again. Hooked from the first line!
