Apartment parties, park picnics.

Gulistan-e-Johar, KDA Scheme 36, named after Maulana Mohammad Ali Jauhar, is one of Karachi's great apartment towns: twenty blocks made up primarily of mid-rise projects, home to middle-class families in their thousands. It sits between University Road and Rashid Minhas Road, with Jauhar Chowrangi as its main junction, Continental Bakery as a Block 15 landmark everyone navigates by, and Darul Sehat Hospital serving the same side of town.

Apartment life shapes how Johar gathers. There is no courtyard for a daig to sit in, so celebrations happen in the flat, on the rooftop, or in the building's shared space, and they run on food that arrives portioned and ready to serve. And when the family wants out, Safari Park sits directly across University Road from Johar's western blocks, close enough that a picnic is an impulse, with Aladdin Park a short drive down Rashid Minhas Road.

So this page carries both Johar answers. Per-head party packs, from Rs 450 with plates and spoons included, for the gathering at home. And picnic packs, sealed hot for the road, sized for a family of four to five or a group of ten to twelve, for the park across the street.
