Typically the food of Northern Pakistan is what one would associate with Indian cuisine in the UK – rogan josh, jalfrezi, and tandoori chicken. Pakistani dishes often feature masala (hot and spicy) sauces accompanying different proteins including chicken, lamb, prawns, and different vegetables. However, as you travel further north the influence of China starts to creep in – noodles, dumplings and chicken and sweetcorn soup.
In general, Pakistani cuisine features a lot of meat like kababs. But the food is generally excellent. Additionally, only upscale restaurants serve wine and it’s usually expensive. Similarly, Pakistan has its own brewed beer and carbonated drinks. Tea, sweetened with milk, is usually served throughout the day, as is Roh, the region's sugarcane juice.
